Hi,
I have a very big problem with my friend's HTC Iolite.The touchscreen suddenly stop working.When tapping in one place it sometimes send me to another.I tried installing new ROM but nothing.
It actually works for 10 minutes after installing new ROM but then dies.Tried all ROM updates but nothing.
Is there a solution for this or can I throw it away?
Is the problem hardware or software based?
Thanks!!!
sorry to hear that from you, it's a hardware problem. you have to replace your touchscreen. i had the same problem, but luckily i was still in the warranty period, so i had it fixed for free.

hi all, i bought a tytn at ebay, but
the after a short time of using the bottom buttons, they stop working.
touch screen and buttons on the side are stÃll working, but the bottom buttons are dead.
sometimes after turning off amd turning on they are working for a short time again. a restart also helps to make them work.
but its not funny to restart every 10 minutes.....
it is an e-plus tytn from germany with wm5.
do u guys think that it is a hardware or a software error?
I seem to have this problem on and off myself and think it's related to either the rom on the phone or the radio rom but am not sure which. It seems sometimes I have this problem and it seems to come and go depending on what combination of rom/radio rom I have installed. If I was smart I'd find a combination that works well for me and stick to it but I always like to play with things so typically every day or two I'm reseting
yeah, i have the same problem.... i hate to restart the phone every now and then, but I need to figure this out sometime soon, or I'm gonna upgrade to WM6 to see if that solves my problem. lol...
did anybody else have an idea to solve the problem?

I opened up my tytn, to find out the problem, and I found a small crack in the flexcable mentioned above.
Before it was never opened nor did anything strange happen with it, so this seems to be yet an other production problem/fault..
More and more people seem to have the same problem, time to presure htc for a repair....
Ok for me this is too late, but all for the good cause.. will just order myself a new cable and try to swap it..
Any ideas where to get the flex cable these days? Not finding it at the link above and internet searches aren't panning out either.
FYI:
Just got back my HTC TyTN from service under warranty, sent for exactly the same problem.
The technician I spoke to directly said that maybe about 90% of the lower keys malfunctions are caused by the lower keyboard board behaving erratically and it is a well-known hardware problem.
A board replacement solved it, my TyTN is working perfectly again, they also replaced the stylus holding rubber (which was broken already from the early days) and, surprise, they upgraded my WM5 device (I had to revert everything to the initial versions before handing it to them) to the latest official HTC WM6 Rom. Even bigger surprise, although what I gave them was a WWE device, when I got it back they had upgraded it to the localized (official Greek) version. Life is good.
Anyways, seems the only real solution to this is a visit to the repair store, hopefully under warranty and reverted back to the original settings...
Hi everyone,
I am using HD2 more than 1 year. I used SD version android in my phone. After few month, my phone freeze in android also in WM platform. All hard keys are working but no response in touch. Even cant unlock the phone when phone starts.
Then I sent it to HTC service in sweden. They repair it and sent me back.
After few days, I am facing the same problem. Even I have installed HSPL (1,2,3,4), updated radio. Also Installed NAND Android.
Now its starts with android but no touch key works at all. (All hard keys working). What can I do now? I need help. Please, anyone, any suggestions?

Sorry about that! Looks like the touchscreen is damaged or faulty! Send it back to repairs! Happened to me but i had no warranty
Note: Next time post in android Q&A section
Digitizer
Your digitizer failed to respond, therefore, you have to send it for repair unfortunately.
On a sidenote, you posted this in the wrong section. Please be careful with this the next time you start a thread
Well thats odd.. I am facing the exact same problem since today! And ive read on a
number of sites that this is caused by the excessive use of the end-call button (screen on / screen off)..
Sounds plausible as my HD2 is dated from december 2009..
In my case the touch screen works fine after I take out the batterij and reboot.
But as soon as I use the end-call button I am facing problems..
A quick workaround is to install "screen off and lock" from market and place
a shortcut on you homescreen to turn off your display and NEVER use the
hardware end-call button again.
Or send the HD2 to HTC repairs and wait 2~4 weeks or worse..
Edit: Found another trick that actually works.
"The digitiZer is under the hangup button. press the button bit hard till it nudges the digitiser a little. it worked for me."

The had the same problem happen to me. I had hspl and android on it so I flashed the stock wm6.5 rom and took it to T-Mobile where they were able to get the touch screen to respond to touch. Since then, I've reflashed mdj's cm7 android and no problems. But I agree, I believe the red/end call key is the blame.

Thank you all.
@ CaCtuZ123 (sweden).
thank you for your advice. Did they (Anovo Nordic who is responsible for HTC in sweden) your phone or they just fixed it?
Coz last time, I sent it to them (service center) and they just fixed it. Now I am afraid to send it, maybe they will just fix it and I will get trouble again.
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.
Now I've read about a problem of the hd2 having digitizer problems and that only a replacement will fix the unresponsive touchscreen issue. But why is it that when I can get my touchscreen to work that it works flawlessly until it goes to sleep? Then i have to continually wake and swype and sleep over and over until it responds. It just seems very weird that after it wakes that it never seems to have a problem. I'm using the miui rom right now and have set the screen to never go to sleep. So I want to see how long it will go without this problem. Has anyone else seen this happening with their phone as well?
Make sure the kernel, and Rom are up to date.
I have that too on an AOSP Gingerbread rom. The screen is not unresposive per se but calibration seems off some times, strage for a capacitive screen.
ive had the problem with android before and there were a few different fixes ...
one fix was to turn off compatibility mode
another was kernel
ive also had the problem with wp7 ( nothing a few hard resets and patience couldnt cure )
either way good luck
well since my first post, i hadn't let the phone go to sleep once and it worked perfectly fine. so i decided to turn off compatibility mode and let it go to sleep.... and when i woke it and i slid my fingers down it actually worked. so far it's worked every time. why would compatibility mode mess up the touchscreen though?
i have NO earthly idea! just a little tidbit i picked from a dev. i would speculate but would end up looking and sounding foolish. so im going to quit while im ahead and have actually been of help :-D cheers
Where can i disable compatibility mode?
I get the same problem. I've used a ICS rom for a day or so and suddenly the lockscreen was unresponsive. I thought it was ROM problem, so I flashed Cyanogen 7, but the screen didn't respond as well... I flashed everything to stock (removing magldr and hspl) and the problem stayed... After several restarts the screen started to respond and now it works (sort of). The tricky thing is: sometimes when I go out from some app in android, the screen doesn't respond again. Locking and unlocking the screen fixes this, but only temporarily.
Did this ICS rom screw something (...hardware?!) or is it a pure coincidence that a few people encounters the same problem for the first time in such a short period of time...
And one more thing... my warranty expired 5 days ago... please help!!!
I had this same problem with my phone before my warranty expired; before I flashed any android roms on it, and while it still had stock WM6.5. I called HTC customer support and they had me send in the phone for repair. They replaced the digitizer and I haven't had the same problem since. It was wierd because in my mind is seemed like a software problem because it would respond nicely as long as the screen was unlocked and the instant it was locked the response was very crappy, sometimes it took forever to unlock my phone. So it might somehow be a hardware issue

spare parts!
I repair phone myself and i can say that i get A LOT of hd2's with this problem. For the most part it is the hardware because no matter what software you put on the phone it is just a matter of the luck you have to get it working. My hd2 broke 2 times b4 and it was always hardware. Htc must of messed up with the hd2 digitizer

from what ive seen in photos of the leo mobo it looks like the connection for the screen/digitizer (not sure on hardware) is located right behind red end call/power button and from being mashed off,on,off,on,etc loosens/damages connection.
or is the hardware screen issue just a complete shot in the darks chance?
OH ... ive had the software issue (fixed as i mentioned earlier) AND unrepairable (with my limited tools and balls to physically tear into this badboy) hardware issues.
well, it's been a few days and my phone still seems to be fine. it hasn't once locked up on me yet. i don't know why turning compatibility mode would fix this. or maybe the phones connectors were loose and are now miraculously back in at the same time i unchecked compaibility mode. the only bad thing was that this was happening the last couple weeks and i had given up and already ordered a sensation 4g. or well, guess i have 2 phones now
Its seems possible. Every since I replaced my digitizer with a non OEM one its has never failed on me again. And I hope it never does. There dam expensive.

Compatibility Mode
I also have this issue, therefore I just recently flashed my hd2 with Tytung's 4.0 ICS Rom. As expected, this didn't help very much.. What I am now going to try before I send my phone to HTC is to disable compatiblity mode. BUT, I can't seem to find this compatibility mode check anywhere. Could someone please guide me there?
..
Windows 7
I will be flashing my phone with w7 now, to see wether this is an android kernel bug / softare issue or if this relates to hardware. I also see a lot of people saying that after fixing the digitizer it works again, so it might actually be a hardware issue. I will post my feedback when I have tried with w7.
Hey guys,
a friend has a HTC HD2 what has some strange issues.
If you start the phone, everything is fine, you can work with it like it should be.
But after you switch of the display and reactivate it after some time it seems that the digitizer is no more working.
It's just luck if you try it several times and it work again. Most of the time it doesnt.
At first for me it seems to be a software issue.. he was still on Stock ROM WM 6.5 and nothing changes anyway.
So I did all steps to unlock the phone and installed ICS 4.0.4 release. Still same issues here... :-/
After that I gave WP 7 a try, there it seems to be a bit better but still the same trouble.
After turning on the display again the digitizer is no more working. But directly after a reboot it works still fine even with multitouch.
Does anyone had ever heard a a HD2 like this? Is the digitizer just broken or can I repair it in any way? I mean it works great if you don't switch the display off
