Has anyone been having problems with their HD2 touchscreen not responding after installing Mango?
I installed Mango on my HD2 and my sister's HD2 a few months ago and everything was fine on mine, but her touch screen was often unresponsive and now recently I'm experiencing the same issue. When I pull the battery and restart, it works but if I lock it, and then unlock it, it's back to not working and may work at random attempts. Even soft resetting doesnt always work.
Any suggestions?
same problem here. any suggestions?
thanks
its a multi-touch issue with our hd2's as our hardware only supports two-point multi-touch whereas wp7 devices support four. so you might notice some stuttering or the screen jittering around. as far as i know there is no fix other than buying an actual wp7 device... I've had similar issues with and without wp7 on my hd2. this is actually my second hd2 with the touch screen not responding or just acting weird.
If you touch screen is not responding it is hardware and not software and is usually the Digitizer which is at fault and a common issue with the HD2.
Yes, i can confirm, it's hardware not software. Need to replace digitizer and lcd....
before you go spend a fortune fixing something that might not be wrong i would suggest you try android out on another SD card to make sure the problem is common across all platforms
everyone seems to have forgotten that most issues on teh HD2 with WP7 are actually down to the SD card, however, over time it has been known for the HD2 to have digitizer issues.
anyhow, slap in a new SD card, install android via magldr to that SD card, and see how the screen is,
THEN you can confirm if its hardware or not. Thats a better way rather than sticking finger in the air and guessing
the most common error for sluggish UI is actually the SD card, a card thats is less compatible than another card can give you random lockups, restarts, freezes, stuttering UI, now that is confirmed

I have a big problem with my touch HD that used to work perfectly. I recently flashed with the most recent NRG rom (4 sep) and also tried after the flashing the new android 2.2 (1.6)..
The phone worked perfectly for a number of reboots and so on.... But suddenly something started to happen.. In WM i pressed the button save screen calibration to SD card (a feature part of the NRG rom)... then the screen calibration went bezerk... The screen is algin 1,5 cm wrong... I have realigned my screen and everything works perfectly for a couple of hours, sometimes just minutes, then once more the screen gets f***ed up... I have cleared my rom (so no traces of the screen calibration file) but still the same problem..
Tried to hard reset the NRG rom, still problems...
Installed stock rom, still same problem (algiment gets messed up after a while)...
I'm running on stock SPL.. anyone else with the same problem.. is it android that messed up my phone or the NRG rom?
Is it fixable (maybe using task 29)?....
i have the some problem ...i dont know how to fix ...
Got the same problem, task 29 do not help.
since task 29 wipes your device, there are only few things untouched:
1. the sd card's content (in other words android)
2. the radio rom
3. the hardware
the exact moment it happened points away from a hardware issue, so i guess in your place, i would format the sd card first. use fat32, standard allocation size and slow format.

1. Pulling out sd card don't help.
2. Tried 3 or 4 different radio rom's.
I also have this "Newton's Rings"
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779206
So i think this is hardware.
I also have the same problem, but it is a little different for me. Some times it works perfectly (perfect calibration etc.), other times it is not calibrated well and even sometimes the touch screen doesn't react at all. I also haven't dropped it or anything so I don't think it is hardware problem I would like to know if it is hardware what should I change on the HTC - the LCD display or the digitizer or both maybe? Please help me. BTW I had also installed android on my phone and maybe that could have caused the problem? Thanks in advance.
hi
I got same problem from 2 weeks. I've changed rom but it doesn't help. Sometimes it is ok, sometime it's moved 0.5 cm, once it doesn't work at all for 2h. Now it's moved for 2-3 cm.
Is there any solution for that? Or I need to change screen (lcd+dig)?
I notice as well that when it's getting wormer (by using satnav for example) the screen stops working at all. When it gets colder it's coming back to normal (almost, still moved about 2mm). I think, I'll buy new lcd+dig, no ideas what different could help for that problem.
All the symptoms above, IME are malfunctioning digitizers. I've replaced my own, and some for other people too.
The fault seems to show itself when the device gets warm, or the chassis gets stressed, but more often it's just random failures.
They are a cheap repair, and if you're VERY careful, can be replaced without replacing the LCD by using gradual warming and acetone on a thin, sharp blade to break the bond between the digitizer and LCD.
I had installed [APR 02] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB233 CM7|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r3.06] (T-Mobile US version) today on my SD card, did the usual steps to get it started. It booted fine, but eventually, the touch screen is often non-responsive. So I rebooted back to windows mobile, thinking maybe its a bad install, unfortunately the problem is still there when in windows mobile.
I've done soft/hard reset, formatted my SD card, start up without SD card but it fails to correct the problem.
I thought if I just let it boot up to windows mobile, it would resolve the issue. As I'm typing this, it is still stuck on the windows mobile lock screen, and I can't unlock it. Funny thing tho, if I let it set for awhile and check it from time to time, I can unlock and use the touch screen , but eventually it goes non-responsive again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!
**Touch screen was working fine before the install**
(I have HTC HD2 from T-mobile US)
1st time posting, hopefully it is the right area..
It's just a coincidence. Try pressing the end key rather firmly and see if the touchscreen starts working again. If so, the ribbon that connects the Digitizer is probably damaged as it runs underneath the end key. (at least that's what some who have taken the HD2 apart have said). They will fix it under warranty if your phone is still under warranty. They did mine and it was over a year old. I did not run android or WP7 on that particular HD2 so I know that did not cause it. The phone I do dual boot WP7 and android is working good so far.

I've tried what you said, it didnt seem to fix the problem.
Did you have to pay for the repair even though it was out of warrenty?
Hi guys,
I have a issue with my phone but couldn't find a solution anywhere.
I have a 16gb Sandisk card, which I have been using for 2 months now, I have been testing many Roms and had no issue till last couple of days.
Previously I flashed WP7 on it's own, then dual boot with Android (different Radio), then Android only, did all this with no issues, after few weeks of being on Android the phone started going crazy, starting applications on its on, will not respond to touch and mainly pressing keys on the keyboard by it's self, especially when I press the delete button it would go crazy start typing random words.
Thinking it was a issue with Android, flashed a new radio and new wp7 rom, but still have the same issue, keyboard and menu doing random things, the standby screen shaking/vibrating like there's no tomorrow.
Some-one please help, I have flashed 3-4 different Rom's, still same issue.
Is my SD card damaged ? I did a full format and flashed rom again, didn't help.
Anyone ?? Can someone help ??
While this sound much more like a hardware problem than a software problem I've never experienced anything alike. Maybe swing by your retailer's store see if they can get you a replacement?
the wp7 rom can work without the sd (you wont have a lot of data space). you can try running removing the sd and see if the problem repeats.
I have instaled the Android from following link

Yes Flash a different Rom..... This way you will know if its your roms fault or its hardware related
if that doesnt help theres a chance your phone overheated and fried the touchscreem module
i flash a new nand rom but still my touch screen is not working...........so any ways to fix the hardware problem.........

Yeah, get it fixed.
If you have a hardware problem then you need to replace the hardware obviously.
The digitizer ribbon is right underneath your end key and its a very common fault on HD2 as it tends to break after a while on random devices.
If it is the digitizer you will need to get it replaced. Flashing different roms isnt going to solve anything unless its a software problem which I very much doubt.
sometimes working and sometimes not
hello friends,
I format my SD card, downloaded the fresh rom from this forum, DFT nand Android,
Flashed the rom once again, all of a sudden my touchscreen starts working, which is an amazing thing for me, only problem is that out of 10 times 2 times it is not working and I have to press the green button(call) and then again I have to go back to the lock screen and this time touch screen is working.
Any Help why it is behaving like this.
Moreover I want to roll back to win 6.5 and how to do that.

yes you are right I think...........i have now tried each and every method and even restored the phone back to WM6.5 but then also my touchscreen is not working.
what I analyzed is that when its cold it starts working and when it become hot while charging or playing around with it just stops responding even in middle of the application.
so now I have to take the phone to the HTC work centre to get it fixed.
I apologise if someone else has had this problem answered before. I'm having a strange problem with my touchscreen: some parts of the screen seem to be not responding to touch anymore. I'm running AmeriCan Android on SD, and I used several multitouch test apps from the market to check, and there are parts on the screen that don't register at all (all at the top of the screen).
I'd like to know is this a problem with the rom (seems unlikely to me), or is the hardware starting to fail?

Firstly you should reflash with a WM stock ROM.
If problem persists, probably you'll encounter a hardware failure sooner or later: dead touchscreen!
Well, I booted into my WinMo Rom (Elegancia V2), and the parts that didn't seem to be working seem to be working now, but I can't be sure because I don't know of a multitouch tester for WinMo. I'll try updating AmeriCanAndroid later, and see if the problem persists. If the screen does work in WinMo, I suspect the drivers for AmeriCanAndroid could be corrupted (a perennial problem of booting Android from SD).
It'd be great if anyone could recommend a multitouch tester for WinMo though, just to be sure.
