I've done everything I could do without taking apart the phone.
I don't know what's wrong, sometimes it will work sometimes it won't.
Now though, I reinstalled WM5 (latest cingular build) and I have to tap the screen to start using it, but the screen won't work.
that happened to me when I put a screen protector on my phone. I took off the protector and the phone worked again
I dont have one of those.
Has the mobile fallen on the ground? Make sure the screen doesn't have any dust on the borders... if there is contact on the screen on any point, it won't recognize any other point of touch (multi-touch is not supported by our screens).
I'll try cleaning that out when I get a can of compressed air
I got it to work for a second so I can use the phone. Now I just want it to always work.

Thanks so much for this post!!
The other day my touch screen stopped responding to my taps.. The lcd worked fine and I could still navigate with the buttons, it just wouldn't respond to touch..
So I was almost ready to take my phone apart to see if the digitizer connection was loose.. I decided to search around and see what other ppl had to say about TS problems.
I read this post and started to go around the edges of the screen with a business card and lo and behold it started to work again.. Must've just been some dirt up in there.. You just saved me a huge headache!
Thanks dferreira
My screen is all white now.
Anyone know how to take apart the phone, I'm thinkin my ribbon is not connected right.
For a while now, my Wizard's touch screen would only work when the slider was closed. It would be completely unresponsive when it was opened. Now the touch screen has stopped working all together.
Is there any way to fix this? Does anyone know what would cause this?
touch screen unresponsive
works just fine in vertical
works for a couple of seconds in horizontal to.
fix?
(had original 2.26 TMOB NL ROM and now using 1.05 Button- dosnt seem to be that)
issues seems solved
ok... been doing a lot of reading in the last 2 days
and found a solution that said:
clean the border between the screen and the plastic housing with a business card or such, get the dirt out.
didnt think it was the problem i had, but i found no other solutions- tried it- and it works... screen seems oki-dok again....
so, good luck to who ever else runs into this....
and keep u posted if it comes back.
You are life saver (actually my Wizard should say that). I have done many things in the last week or so... massaged the screen, reflashed few times, checked for loose connections and nothing seems to be working. Until this idea to clean the dirt. I was skeptical at first, but now:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
Works perfect.
hi there. i have the same problem with the touch screen. i tried to clean the dust with the plastic card but it's not working. what should i do?? i need help
p.s. i also had a problem when my wizard was opened, my touch screen didnt work. Now the touch screen has stopped working all together.
I have also ran into the same problem, except that my touch screen works only about 10% of the time. I have tried to clean the border without any luck.
Lol, this needs stickied in every topic here. I have the excuse of having no internet access till today, but my wing touchscreen died on me. I called t-mobile multiple times, including their direct buisness support line. Assurion wanted $110 for a replacement phone. My account is only 40 days old. So I got transfered to retentions and have a replacement wing in the mail already. Gave the retentions rep a kudos for resolving my issue without me having to take the 110 bucks to sprint to get a mogul and faster interwebs. Thanks guys!
Well i think my Polaris has finally given me the finger.
The touch screen no longer responds to finger/stylus presses. If i press randomly for long enough it does register a click, but never in the right spot or consistently.
What do you think it could be?
Ive tried reloading different roms that have worked perfectly before, hard resets, and ive even tried taking it apart and reconnecting the connectors.
It was dropped a few days ago but it was fine, then one day, while doing nothing in particular it decided to stop responding to touch input, the normal buttons work fine.
My XDA Orbit2 (same as Cruise) has the same problemccasional freezing and touch screen decalibration (needs to be recalibrated every 5 min). problem is that this occurs infrequently. therefore i have lost hope that sending in for repair would work.....
i have a same problem..
my polaris's touch screen sometimes not responding to any touch.
i have to connect it to my computer or battery charger, and then it will work again.
can anybody explain to me why??
thanx before
same happened to me last week! well, its on its way to o2 service partner right now... guess it was supposed to brake in about 7months from now.

Hi!
I broke my touchscreen (Tytn2) and replaced it with a touchscreen from ebay for 10 €.
It works, but there are some problems:
1. I have to press very strong onto the screen for a signal!
2. On the edges i have to press very very strong - even stronger then in the middle.
3. the signal itself is on the right position......
4. i have already tried to reset the sensitivity of the touchscreen (and increase/decrease it)
5. i have already aligned the screen several times....
My questions are:
1. is it installed well?? (I had to connect 4 pins on my own.....)
2. if it gets the right signal (but only when I´m pressing very strong), can there be anything wrong with the connectors?
PLEASE HELP ME!
greetings!
Well i was SO close to just giving up and buying a new phone.
I found however, an entire brand new housing for the low low price of $65 AUS. I could of just bought the digitizer for about $30.
When i look at the devices out there...they arent that great...i was going to get a Nokia E72 but realised i would miss the touch input.
So i will suffer along with my touch cruise, checking these forums for updates on the Android progress
ANd ill have a spiffy new case to boot.
My 02 Orbit 2 touch screen has stopped working also - I found that a temporary solution is to hold the top of the screen tightly over the earpiece
It would register touches, enough to Flash back to Original ROM
It Going back to 02 this weekend.
touchscreen was working today morning, took battery out for 2 hours, turned it back on and it was working abit weird, and now i cant press any touchscreen buttons atall!
So no softkeys (pick call, home etc.) and nothining on the big screen! I can turn on the phone, press the power button and volume buttons, see my home screen get calls etc.. hard reset twice, took battery out, nothing does it .. gonna try flash it but dont think itll do it ... and ideas?
Im in uk aswell if that makes a diff
Dear All,
I have similar problem. Usuallí I use on my HD NRG ROM. About 3 weeks ago I updated to the latest NRG WM 6.5 23xxx ROM with Sense 2.5 Maxmanila version, and since this upgrade the touch screen position moving randomized up or down from 2 mm to 30mm!!! After this ROM I tryed updating each newer version, but not changed nothing. I need realign the screen about 10 times / day!!! The phone I never dropped or cracked.
Can help me somebody what happened with my HD?
I had this happen to me yesterday. I was surfing on my phone as per the norm. Put my phone down. Got a txt, picked it up and it wouldnt allow me to access it. I thought it must be a freeze as it has happened occasionally.
So I restarted.............and nothing. No response AT ALL from the touch screen.
I have noticed the oily spot problem on the most part of my screen, and thescreen doesnt have that little give it used to when using it (paranoia possibly)
So I can only assume something has given within the screen. Ive been searching all day on the internet for causes and fixes but nothing has come up.
The volume and power buttons work but I cant do anything at all with the phone as its obviously all touch based.
Is this a screen replacement job then or is the whole phone goosed?
Roheelshah if you turn your phone off do you have the massive oily screen thing?
Any help is most appreciated....
I had the same thing, a oily spot, but it was there for months, then i noticed another new spot (looked like a tiny tiny burn) and thats when it stopped working completely... ive ordered a new screen which should be comming in a few days, im hoping thats the issue
will let you know if it works ....
keep me updated if you find anything
thanks!

whats it do? and where from??
I just posted something like this a few days ago, pulled my phone out and screen wouldnt respond, had these marks all over my screen, "swirly marks" as i describe it, very well could be the oily marks you are talking about. you can move them around with your finger right?
anyway, i took my sim out, tryna find a spare phone, couple hours later the marks were gone and screen started working again, touch wood its been fine since.
no idea what happened, but try letting it air out or something
ok basically i received a new digitizer today (the actual touchscreen) ...
i dismantled the whole phone using the service manual and some video some guy made (VERY HELPFUL, if anyone wants it for any reason i can post a link), ok so i got rid of all the top bits, the circuit boards (or watever theyre called)
I got down to just the bezel, lcd and digitizer (dont know what a bezel is, the lcd is where the display actually is and digitizer is directly stuck ontop of that)
Apparently when replacing the screen, htc have made it so that you have to replace all three of those parts instead of individual ones, but you can buy them seperately so i thought i'd hero it.
i poked out the screen from the frame (some chewingum like stuff holding it in) then i started peeling off the digitizer (if you get one and want to try it you'll know where to peel) ... this was a mistake tho cause the lcd is unbelievebly sensitive so while peeling off it left scratches on the lcd, and me not knowing the lcd is sticky tried to wipe them and use a dust free cloth, which left alot of crap on the actual lcd!
i managed to get the digitizer off and ripped the cable that goes from digitizer to whatever reads our fingers on the screen, took it all off, placed the new one directly ontop and fed the wire exactly how it was for the first screen.
Put it all together again
Now I did mess up my screen badly, but in a good way! .. i now have full touchscreen working (smoother than ever) but my LCD display is near enough gone, so it looks like the screens really really dark, and i have to tilt it at certain angles to see the screen..
After all of this i now have a touch hd i can controll from my pc (using mymobiler) so i can recieve calls, send texts all from my pc when connected thru active sync, can even play teeter ... but not really the same!
I wouldnt recomend anyone to try what i did, although i think its worth the risk as I would have to replace the lcd anyways if i wanted a new screen in the first place... and who knows you might be able to peel the digitizer off clean (NEVER EVER EVER TOUCH LCD WITH ANYTHING!!!).
It all cost me around 10-15£ for the digitizer and screwdrivers and alot of hours dismantling phone compared to 50-100£ for a new lcd.
I am either going to get a new lcd now so i can actually see the screen, or get a new phone.
Sorry for the essay but hopefully this helps someone in any similar situation
if i do get a new lcd will post how it goes and if it sorts out everything
if anyone knows of any other reasons why my lcd would be so dim (brightness is 100%) accept for me getting carried away with it ... help would be appreciated

Yeah swirly oil marks is how myne started ... i think i finished off the screen by trying to press hard on the mark to try and clear it .. . so be careful with it.. but think that overall the screen had seen better days (course only a few weeks after warrenty finishes) ... all conections inside were ok aswell

Same here. Touch screen not working. Phone never flashed, droped,...
Any solution?
unfortunately, a friend of mine changed the touchscreen without success. Phone was in perfect state, no drop, no flash. Just the touch not responding. I'm not sure that changing whole part lcd+digitizer solve the problem.
Hi all!
I've got similar problem with my touch HD. It's stock since I bought it. My touch sense was acting weird, like it wasn't properly calibrated. Like, when I press 7 on phone pad, the phone actually presses 1, and if I press 0, phone presses 5 and so on..
I've tried to align the screen, but it doesn't get aligned the first time. I have to repeat the process about 4 times before it gets aligned. That's good for about few minutes and the problem is back. Hard reset was also done, 2 times.
Could this be a fixed with a software update? Does this mean that digitizer will soon be dead?
Thank you for your help
Regards

Hi!
I've successfuly installed the cab file on my phone's sd card, but the problem is still there. I don't know where the installed files are, do I have to run this application?

Just did the hard reset. When it asked me to align the screen, I just couldn't align the top left corner. I had to press it like 50 times before cross went to the lower corner. Otherwise, after the align it's good for about couple of seconds and then it's just pressing all over.
I thought I had just some software issues because the screen wasn't dead, it responded to my touch. So, I'll probably have to buy a new screen and digitizer, right? Or do you have any other ideas?
Thank you again for your help!

firstly screencal installs calibration settings not for blackstone so do not install it, no point. (btw it also increases device touch sensitivity)
secondly you guys should try and install the calibration settings for blackstone, basicly what the align screen does, not sure where to find them for download but i could post the registrys if someone wants to make a .cab from them. (atm i cba making the .cab but i am able to do it )
if the calibration settings do not work i think it is best to buy a new lcd package (or buy new device and give me old one for spares oj)
Rn
hi buddy ! What you mean GSensorCalibrator ??
i didnt mention anything about gsensor calibration dude.
tried and tested screencal the other week and it screwed my blackstone.
install these instead:
*screen calibration, sets the blackstone touch points: (aligning the screen)
if you install a cab with these registrys it should fix the alignment problem.
(if it doesnt then its hardware issue = lcd etc)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"MaxCalError"=dword:8
"CalibrationData"="511,542 183,881 183,198 834,197 833,880"
*this one will maximise the touch sensitivity for those that want it:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel]
"PressureThreshold"=dword:0
Rn
Does anyone have a recommendation where you can buy a digitizer and lcd from?
Howdy folks... i will try to get a picture up tomorrow...
Basically a few days ago i picked up my phone and noticed a marble type effect on my screen, very similar to when you put inks into water etc.
At first i thought the lcd screen had leaked etc but my (actual) screen looks normal, no missing pixels or screen errors
It happened again few days later and then this morning my gf removed it from her pocket the whole touch area was like it... and still is now... 10 hours later...
Could water or moisture build up between the touch part and then screen???
During the time it happens the touch area doens't function at all!!
Any ideas or thoughts at all??
Thank you all very much in advance!!
dont know, but this happeded on my touch ELF and is happning on my touch 3g now, not happy might try a few crazy things before replacing the digitiser il let you know if anything works.
Heres a pic attached...
Cant really see it but maybe help to see the issue?
Can kinda see the outline of where the marble effect starts... and you can see the purple and lights green/blue effect its left..
I wouldn't mind but the touch screen doesn't work kinda making the phone useless!
tried a few things, like freezing than heating, worked for a while, calibration kept falling out. put it away and went back to my elf. tried it yesterday and it hardly responds to touch at all, responds randomly when you press it haaaaaaarrrddd.
might be time to get new parts
Looks like the touch screen sensors are out of sort. My experience with my previous model (HTC Kaiser) similar thing happened. Changing the screen solved everything, works like new.
I had problems with the touch screen on my touch 3g and tryed everything (hard restarts, screen aligns, millions of times) until i changed the digitiser in htc service and everything works fine now, like new as azahidi said. Good luck.
