Touch hd screen not responding to touch or stylus
Touch hd screen not responding to touch or stylus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In early February I upgraded my Touch HD to 6.5 from 6.1 and if am right it was energy.blackstone.21891.leo_Max. It worked for about two week and and then one day I struggled to get a gps fix on my tomtom. The next day the screen just froze with no response of any touching or stylus.
Managed to put the original orange rom back on it but could not cariberate the screen due to its not responding. I sent the phone to HTC UK for repairs but they said due to my having used unauthorised software the motherboard needs to be replaced and they were asking me to pay 168 pounds so they could go ahead with the repairs. I got the HD2 on a new contract.
Still love the TOUCH HD and was wondering is there another way of breathing life into this thing. Responds well to install new roms but the screen continues to remain frozen

Hello.
I have same kind of Problem.
My HTC had broken Screen, I had it repaired.
After it came back the touchscreen worked OK. Than I flashed it with the ENERGY Blackstone ROM.
Flashing etc was OK. Device started again and came to the Point where you have to tip on the screen to do the SETUP. But that did not work. I tried Softreset. Hardreset but No change of Problem.
Send it back to the repairshop and after I recevied it again the Energy was still on it and working.
Since a new ENERGY rom was out, I flashed it again . Result, Same Error, NOT working. To make sure that the ENERGY-ROM wasn't the error, I reflashed it with the Original HTC ROM.
Also this one does not work. It also comes to the point where I need to tap to do the Setup. Nothing happes.
When I attach the Phone to PC with ACTIVESYNCH, the Synchronisation works OK.
Any Help Any Idea ??

Probably you need to replace digitizer(touch screen layer, not LCD) Look on ebay for a new one.

Damn, I have almost the same problem!
I have used Energy roms for a year, without any major problem. I have installed dec. 20. NRG rom, and today it is completely messed up my HD. No response on touching the screen or pressing any button. After a hard reset the touchscreen alignment was came up, and the touchscreen is working, but I can't align the screen, it starts over and over again... and thats all. I cant do anything else with it. I have reflashed stock rom and spl, still the same.

same with me here... I also have got an EnergyRom installed. For more then one day now I get no response from the touchscreen. Everything else seems to work properly, e.g. the popups which remind me appointments are there.

Exactly the same here!
I installed energy sense last week, phone worked fine for 4 days then i came to use it and it didnt respond to the touch screen, however tapping the screen would bring back on the backlight?
I hard resetted it and also flashed a new ROM on, still the same, I found that it was responding but taking up to 5 mins to respond, i.e if you tap the first calibration point, after about 3 minutes the point moves, however calibration never completes.
I think the phone is scrap.

Touch screen inaccurate

Do you guys also have problems about when typing in a keyboard that 40% of the time it misses the touch point or pushing the wrong letter even thou you didnt pressed that letter?.. it always happening to me, i just tested this on CM7 and CM6.2..
When i tap "M" sometimes it taps the letter "B", sometimes when i tap the "Backspace" it sometimes presses the button around it like "M" or "L"..
Is this a hardware failure? or a kernel/driver/software for android that is failing?..
One more thing, if i hold an icon on the homescreen to allowing moving it, it sometimes dances around my finger..

I've had similar behaviour when one or more fingers almost touched the screen while holding it. Lay your phone on a table and check if it happens then too.

I think it's still the same, because will i'm testing it, im continously pressing the the letter "M" til it miss, then suddenly it misses everytime i press "M" i suddenly put the fone on the table while continueing to tap "M", still it misses.. my gosh, i hope its not a hardware failure..
anybody?

up anyone?...

Mine did that right before the touchscreen started to die. Check on it.

how sad, i think my warranty is over.. how much will i cost if i will get this to repair?..

I have the exact same issue.

Another fellow has something similar, but not quite.

If I put Windows Mobile 6 back on the phone, the screen is back to its very accurate state. Android on SDcard works fine too. It's only when I try to use NAND / MAGLDR. Could you try flashing back Windows and testing it? And test an SD build as well?

I just bought this device second hand, dont know the record of this thing if it has really an issue when i bought..
i remember when i got this device to the 1st owner, its in windows mobile 6.5, i tried it from morning to night, i even txted a lot when it is still in 6.5, and i dont remember getting frustrated because of inacuracy.. it just started when i flashed the NAND ROM the night i bought it..
will try to revert back to WM6.5 and Android SD after work..

@FreakyFerret
according to one of the member in the thread you gave, his problem about accuracy has gone because of the kernel he used..
Did you used it? did it solve to you?, or do you have any other motheds that worked for you..

I didn't see anyone fixing the issue by trying a new kernel. But I've used a few different builds with different kernels, and it persists. I'll check the thread again later.

[Q] Screen digitizer failed trying to revert to stock

First off I did search until I went blue. I'm having the digitizer failure problem with my HD2 which has HSPL3 and a stripped down winmo 6.5 rom. I Have been running android from the SD card.
The main problem is the phone is stuck in "boot as disk" mode when plugged into my USB port and I can't use the screen to put it in "active sync" mode. Is there another way around this so I can put the stock SPL and rom on? I know I must be missing something easy.

Boot in bootloader: power off, and then after powering back on keep the volume down button pressed. You can flash stock WinMo from there.

Thanks! This is really strange though. The screen is now responding after not working at all for two weeks. Any chance somthing was stuck under the volume button and around the screen?

I doubt it. There's being quite some doubt about these digitizer failures though, whether they are really hardware problems or just software. I have always been a believer of the first, but recent stories have made me doubt that. It's probably a mixture of both, so if at some point the digitizer stops working again in WinMo, get it fixed while you're still under warranty.

ok, I still plan on sending back in. I bought it 6 months ago, found a winmo and android roms that worked and never messed with it again.
So I'm guessing I just flash the stock rom it came with from the SD card then take off HPSL?

I'm actually not sure how to completely remove all XDA-traces, but I bet there's plenty of guides on that in the WinMo section!

Thanks again. Right when my digitizer went out it seemed like 5 more OS options opened up Win phone 7, boot straight into android etc.
I got the phone into active sync while the screen worked for about 2 seconds. Everything should be cake from here.
Thanks for your help.

HD2 touchscreen with MIUI rom won't respond !

I tried soft reset, nothing. Pull'd out battery reboot, nothing. Can you guys recommend me with a few steps i should take ?
Thanks a lot i really need my hd2 this week

Task 29, flash winmo stock, check if touchscreen if working. If it is, flash HSPL 2.08, flash radio, MAGLDR, then android, check if it is working, if it isn't then try a different rom. If from winmo it isn't working, then more than likely it is a hardware problem, eg. your end key is interrupting touch inputs, so take it into repair, although currently HTC is facing repair problems so if you're willing to wait say a month or so, then sure, but if it were me, i'd just buy a new phone.

Mann....i now feel that Android NAND is what gives users so many touch screen problems....yikesss !!!!

Im trying taks 29 now.

I installed this WinMo rom after task 29 and a hard reset:
Energy™-.¸¸.·´¯ 6.5|21916 / 6.5.X|29020 * Sense 2021
Still no touch screen. But the hardware keys are working. Will this be the end for me of a fantastic device and ****ing up 190 euro's

worst situation ever! when you slice your finger to unlock it and nothing happends !! it's a very common problem, HARDWARE related, not android nand related, i've been in the same situation after installing an app, somehow the screen became unresponsive.
i read somewhere that if you pressed a little hard above and arround the power button, the touchscreen starts to work again, because the digitalizer´s conectors are arround there, and i tried that and guess what?? it worked! after that installed button saviour app and never pressed the power button again.
but sadly, after a while the screen becomes unresposive again, so it´s just a temporal solution, now my touchscreen has become completly unresponsive and that trick doesn´t work any more

sounds like the digitizer issue thats been banded about on here

by the way, there are thousands of threats in the forum regarding the same problem, try to give them a read

I did read some, didn't gave me a single working solution. Is this a common problem with HD2's ?
My warranty is gone. Should i try to take it to a local repair shop ? Or take out my baseball bat and give it a good swing ?

It wasn't really supposed to happen you see. Android just requires us to use a lot of buttons and well, the hardware design wasn't meant for the buttons to be pressed a lot, so this happens, if you're unlucky.

Didn't use the power button that much really. Im thinking about selling my hd2 and buying a palm pixi to use for a couple of months. How much should i charge ? 60 bucks ?

[Q] Black screen on unlock/wake up

Hello everyone,
I'm facing this strange issue while flashing any ROM (Wp7.5, WP7.8, Android) apart from the stock windows 6.5. Once the ROM is flashed everything works well, but when i lock the screen with the power button and try to wake it again by hitting the power button, the screen is completely blank. The backlight is on and touchscreen works (i can hear the OS sounds), but the screen is completely blank.
To diagnose the problem, here are the things ive done:
1. Tried all different HSPL's.
2. Flashed different versions of MAGLDR
3. Removed sd card while flashing.
4. Formatted the Sd card.
5. Removed SIM.
I've searched everywhere for a solution, but no one else seems to have the exact same problem. This issue does not happen on windows 6.5. But it happens on every other OS. Could some one please help me and point me in the right direction.

your problem not in software, seems as screen problem (digitizer)

in my experience with HD2 i see many strange problems... if any of software flashing not helped and you have problems then must be something with hardware

Oh damn I'll check the lcd then.
