Hey guys I am really excited I just got my touch screen working again, and it had that cable problem under the power button..... I remember searching a lot on google for the solution and someone was saying there is a way change power button to turn off screen so I don't even need to press that button anymore and hopefully it won't occur anymore...... Could anyone give me a link that to that post again... lolz I couldn't find it again
Thanks for all your help!!

What ROM are you using

I am using Cyogen Mod 7 (or something close to that for Android)

try lock screen app in market. I have't tried it but might work

Edit; I tried cyanogenMod settings/input/long press home settings/use custom app but couldn't find sleep, maybe you will have better luck

Thanks I will definantly check it out!

[Q] Replacing Touch Digitizer fix NonResponsive Screen?

Hey everyone my HTC HD2 got the Non-Responsive screen problem a week ago, & did a lot of research and found out that it was most likely a hardware problem with a cable..... So a lot of people would tell the people with the problem that the "Touch Screen Digitizer" is dead (like the cable), or it needs to be cleaned... pretty well go out and buy a new one... BUT I have never found evidence that someone has done this and it has successfully "cured" their HTC HD2 Non-Responsive touch screen problem...
So I was looking for anyone on the forums that could confirm this is a solution or give me any tips on what I should do.... AND no I don't have enough money to get a new phone, nor do I live in the USA so I can't send it in to fix it...
This is what I was going to buy for it:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-OEM-HTC-H...item519a3d2e45
Thanks for taking the time to read my Thread, its much appreciated!! I hope I can find a fix!!
PS: If anyone wanted to know what it looks like out of curiosity I posted 3 pictures with RED circle HIGHLIGHTING the problem when I try to touch something....
I really want to know this as well, because my phone is basically unusable at this state. I can get into it maybe 2 or 3 times a day, if i really try (locking and waking up the screen over and over until it becomes responsive). I don't want to buy a new digitizer if it isn't going to fix it, but i would gladly buy one if it will fix it. If you try it, and it does work for you, send me an email at [email protected] .
Anyone with any other information on this please help us out, there is a surprisingly small amount of info on this issue, considering how many phones were affected.
screen
I have read some threads on the power button being the cause. Try pressing it several times. Once you get the screen operating go to the market and get screen off app and a reboot app. Place them on your home screen toolbar. I use adw and it has an extra hidden toolbar if you swype down and then up on toolbar and up then down to close it. Either way you do it is fine. This keeps you from pushing the power button which has been discovered to be the problem. Hope this helps. I haven't had the problem, but seeing that it's happening more often I use these apps to keep from using power button unless needed to boot into magdlr.

Thanks for the help, yeah I havee seen that problem and I think that is my problem as well.... I am going to get a T5 Torx Screwdriver am pop open to see if I can maybe fiddle with the cable to get it to work again.... if it doesn't i might get a new digitizer or just have to go back to my old phone and save some money for a new smart phone
I have http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 on my hd2 and theres an option in cynogenMod settings > input > long press home settings that lets you change the action that happens when holding down the home key. Just set that to "screen off."

[Q] Touchscreen not responding

So for some reason, the last few days the touchscreen on my phone was being super slow, and id have to turn off the screen, then turn it back on multiple times and keep trying to slide it to unlock. I dont know how this started. Ive been using the NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9.
Ive tried other ROMs and restored previous backups and nothing is working. The screen is still not responsive. Ive never had this happen before and not sure what else to do. Its just stuck on the lock screen but everything is unresponsive....any ideas???

Unfortunately, your touchscreen digitizer is dying. This is related to the hardkey malfunction. The only thing you can so now is flash back to stock WM Tom and send it back for repair. The phone's touchscreen need to be replaced.
Good luck,

Yeah thats what ive been reading, and right after i started this thread i was reading on another and read that you can fix it if you hold the power button down firmly (apparently the digitzier is right behind it)....that worked for me.
I think too much flashing and changing ROMS using the power button didnt help hehehe

Try using zMooth or Button Savior. This help your hardkey a lot. Since I have zMooth and Button Savior install on my phone, I no longer have to use the hardkey.

for how long (holding of power button) ????
{edit}
!!!!! FIND SOLUTION !!!!!
The digitiZer is under the hangup button. press the button bit hard till it nudges the digitiser a little. it worked for me.
(found it from : http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/ )
I'm so cool now!!
I have been living on this solution for almost 2 months now.
However I can't take it anymore not because I am lazy!
but because when sometimes you need to make a quick call or grab that
camera instantly I tend to waste a good 5 minutes trying to make that hardpress on the end key work with the digitizer cable.
My question is, would changing the digitizer work? or is it something else?
Ever noticed that T-Mobile HD2 has soldered digitizer connection to the LCD vs. flex-cable socket in standard Leo?

Power button not working

Hi guys.
My Galaxy Note 3 power button has just completely stopped working. Is there a setting that turns off the power button functionality that I might have accidentally pressed?
Cheers.
Edit: I should elaborate here. The phone is switched on, everything works as normal but no matter how many times I try it, the power button just not do anything (holding it down, pressing different areas)

Did you try a battery reset? With the phone off, can you get into either Download or Recovery mode? That would eliminate the possibility of an OS issue.

I kind of scared to turn the thing off in case I can't switch it back on. I'll try it though.
Edit: It's dead. Taken the battery but can't switch back on now. What a joke.
Bad luck brian i feel sorry for you

I know I kind of expect this bad luck these days after having two faulty Nexus 7's. My Galaxy S2 power button is still going strong after 2 and a half years but the Note 3 lasts 7 hours

It's a dud mate. Faulty unit.
Just send it back and get it replaced.
Just send it for replacement. There's a reason phones come with a warranty that covers manufacturer defects. Whining about it to strangers in the forum is not going to fix it for you.

I was posting to see if any one else had the same problem or if it was a setting I'd missed. Arsehole.
Cheers everyone else I'll replace it tomorrow.
This is exactly the sort of thing that makes me worry about voiding my warranty. Decisions, decisions....

Yeah this is definitely the least friendly of all the Android forums. Sorry to hear you have a dud unit mate. Get it replaced.
My power button is not working to turn the screen off. Long press works to bring up the power down menu or to do a hard shut down. It works to turn back on though. Seems to happen after I plug it into the wall charger. Restoring a nandroid backup fixes the issue.
Not sure if it's related but my PC's USB crashed after trying to plug the phone in and use USB 3.0 to transfer files. I had to refresh my W8 PC to get the USB working again.
I have the Sprint version, rooted and running JellyBomb.

I have the same problem. my power button is done for. whenever i need to start it. I plug it in and go into recovery and reboot from there. I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenoffpro&hl=en for screen timeout and lock. And you can also get exposed and gravity box and there is a status bar tweak to double tap the status bar to lock screen (put phone to sleep).
I tried everything then found the solution on another website
My note 3 has been with me for almost 2 years now and it's power button stopped working about 2-3 months ago. Until now I avoided draining the battery below 2% and was fine but just today I dropped my phone and it shut down. I knew that my power button didn't work because of hardware problems so a soft reset didn't work for me. What I found however is that if your power button is dead you can just very quickly remove and re-insert your battery and your samsung device (I have no idea if this works on other brands) automatically boots itself. I'll give the link too incase I wasn't clear enough and I hope this helps people who shared my worries.

My phone Is Bricked Galaxy s8

I think thats what someone on another forum called it, they said to head over here beacause you guys know alot more. My Phone won't get past the "Samsung Galaxy S8 - Powered by Android screen"
I've tried the usual. Down and power key, Up Bixby and power. They either do nothing or keep bringing me back to that screen. I also didnt have Samsung Switch installed to try that way either.
If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it and hopefull ive posted in the right section of the forum.
Could you try pressing volume down+power button for aprox. 7 seconds (till the screen goes black), the phone should reboot now. (This next step can be kinda tricky, but you can just try over and over until you do it.) While the screen is still black, press either volume down+bixby+power button or volume up+bixby+power button. This should either boot you into recovery or download mode. Let us know if you can make it to this point
At work ATM, but yeah I will give this a go later when I get back, thanks for the quick reply!
