I guess I'm just unlucky.
A certain part of my screen does not register touches anymore. When I open up the keyboard and slide across the top row of alphabets, the area around the 'i' alphabet doesn't register the touch - the screen will register my touch on the alphabets 't' 'y' 'u' 'o' 'p' but not the 'i'. Same with the alphabet 'n'. This makes typing really, really hard - I have to retype the 'i' and 'n' at least 3 times to get the right alphabet, normally it will come up as a combination of the letters at the side.
Sometimes when I do up/down swiping gestures around that area, the screen will not register the touch too.
And my warranty expired last month. Great phone yeah. (But I've unlocked the bootloader ages ago so oh well)
I had the same problem, but I sent it for repairs, but 1 month later, the same **** started happening. Turns out if you use the slider too much, the screen just sort of stops working according to a guy at the shop I sent for repairs too. That or he was doing a **** job.

WHILE THERE ARE BETTER SCREENS (AMOLED, IPS, CRT... etc)?
Had the same problem, just replace the digitizer and it'll be as good as new. :good:

Use a t9 keyboard! It's a workaround, yeah, but it's worth it.
Use the service menu to test the affected area of touchscreen

Happened to mine after 1 year, had the digitizer replaced.

This is on the opening screen of my HD2 when it's been locked. The keyboard is so easy to use and is very native of a conventional phone keypad. It makes for easy use and the screen is still free to both read and write your text.
trust me, im searching something like this since 2 years T.T am i too stupid or is there really nothing like that?
when im walking around with my phone.. i cant type in qwerty mode :/ when i switch to "phonepad" it suxx cause the buttons are again too small when im walking
on the pin input screen there are even two unused buttons, wich we could use as smileys or other things...
As this screen is already in my phone, I would have thought that it was possible to mix into a cab for keyboard use. I am not a programmer otherwise I would try..
What's wrong with the regular Phone Keypad that comes pre-installed?

What I would like is the keypad as in the first image for my texting and messaging... not just for dialling numbers..
When I am texting, I do not need all of the other clutter that robs my screen of space so larger keypads would be nice.. I currently use this -
But I need to turn it on its side to text and I only get one line of screen to read what I am writing.. but like I said, the keypad in the opening screen would be just right for me..
If you download the hero IME keyboard, which you can find by using the search function on mobilerumor.blogspot.com, it has a phone keypad feature.

Hello friends,
I've been using this phone for two years now and it was not bad until recently when touch screen started to misfunction, especially in lower third of the screen, making it impossible to type meny buttons and use keyboard correctly. Since then, I have properly flashed several ROMs, even cooked ones from this forum (btw, I find them very neat) but the problem persist in wide range:
- with some ROMs it get stucked on Screen alignment;
- even if "Remote Screen Alignment" tool was used, it didnt' help with most ROMs;
- Some ROMs like
_HTC Touch 3G_RUU_Jade_Orange_FR-B2B_1.71.73.11_Radio_Sign_12.36.30.29.UMA_0.29.30.U23_Ship
and
sj1.2.2-wwe_ultralite&clean (thanks to developers and uploaders)
pass well the screen alignment, but after short walk through Menu it starts again to be unprecise and makes use of keyboard and other impossible!!!
So, just before I grab my hammer and pulverize this dear and beloved Windows phone, is there ANYONE who can give me an advice here?
Thanks to all of you and keep developing, because you're doing a great deed for the people worldwide.
Cheers from France
Mais oui, mon ami. The problem lies with the digitizer, meaning the device which converts your screen touches to digital information. It's the phone's plastic screen cover, to be more precise. Either take your phone to a GSM service to have yours replaced, or buy a new one from e-bay and change it yourself, if you're a DIY kind of guy.
This is how the digitizer looks:

Multumesc prietenului meu!
I thought it could be a hardware failure, because we just can't blame it on software every time.
Funny, but I think I didn't wear-out this digitizer that much in the past, but maybe their lifetime is not as long as three years?
I remember this Jade fell of the table once, so maybe it could be some bad connection?
I also took your advice and googled a bit for shopping results and it seems that there are TWO different sorts of displays and digitizers for the same model of HTC Touch 3G Jade T3232. This means that I should open up the phone prior to purchase of this spare part.
I promise to post here the result of this "surgical operation" once I get it done.
Thanks again
So after a year of heavy use, the keyboard on my g2 is starting to get kinda iffy. When I hit the spacebar, sometimes it puts in two spaces instead of one. Any way I can open it and clean/inspect the contacts?
Same here, spacebar puts often 2 spaces instead of 1, would be very interested in a fix.
send it to HTC
It's pretty easy to take the G2 apart (if you have some experience taking phones apart). Go to youtube and search for t-mobile g2 disassembly.
Here is a high quality picture guide.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda premium
same here. I bought DZ in july 2011 and now the keyboard either does not write a letter or writes two of them (mostlly vowels) making hw keyboard a pretty slow method of input as I have to correct it everytime.
Did anyone of you already try to clean the keyboard? did it help?
Is the T5 torx screwdriver the only tool needed to clean the keyboard?
Thanks
I have this problem with my E key, but it's not consistent or annoying enough to bother fixing it. I haven't noticed it much lately, but it was pretty bad for a little while!
I also have this problem with my q, w, e and t keys :S. Except if i push firmly enough there are no problems, but when other people use my phone, they have a lot of trouble typing
I bought today a Torx T5 screwdriver, opened the phone, void waranty (again!, VOID sticker this time and got until the "Peel back the adhesive tab" step in the guide. After that only mainboard and display is disassembled in the guide.
The mainboard was disconnected from all the cables (microsd, touchscreen, display).
Unfortunately, I did not find a way to open the keyboard to clean it. Did I miss something important?

hey there!
some days ago, I had new problems with my digitizer.
began 4 months ago, when I have replaced the broken digitizer with a new one bought on ebay, and so i had some issues with its sensivity. at first i had a problem on the bottom. I couldn't scroll up the pull-down menu of the status bar or scroll through the bar of the music player (red).
recently the sensitivity of the touchscreen is worsened and when I adjusted the smearings inside the digitizer, the situation got even worse, and now I am unable to use the keyboard on the "zxcvbnm(del)" row in portrait mode and I can't open new page of the browser in landscape mode (yellow).

right now my screen is literally gone mad! it automatically picks up touches on each side of the screen and I can't no longer use it. I must do a lock/unlock of the screen to get it out of this loop and so here's that it happens again in half a minute!
What could I do to fix my digitizer? I should be grateful if I might avoid to purchasing a new digitizer one more time, I wasted so much money on my phone that I would have been able to buy a new one!
PS. I'm sure that someone will say that it's only my fault if I have the phone in these conditions. not for really. I had great care to replace the digitizer on the phone and vice versa, so I would like a bit of professionalism to take my issue in a certain way and not that you always criticize the user, fool or not to be. I will consider any advice aside the usual criticisms.
I ask forgiveness for my clarification perhaps a little cheeky, but I felt compelled to say these things because I have experienced similar cases, and I wouldn't to happen again for better mine and yours, and thank you again for your unfailing support and sorry for my bad english I believe that you may solve the problem
Dear
I am also faced such difficulties. You can find my thread regarding "touchscreen malfunction" . But now the problem almost solved. Previously i was used froyo kernel based wiui. Then i change kernel to gb and flashed wiui for gb kernel.Its all before 3 weeks. I cant see the problem Till today. So just try it. My digitalizer was original and not replaced yet. I think the touch sensitivity of froyo kernel is more atleast in my case

I am on lollipop and use stock rom, never tried to root or something like that, my phone is new I have it for like 1 month until now
This is an old thread started by me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/center-zone-touchscreen-dead-to-finger-t3219392
Some spot in my touchscreen was dead to finger, and "#2663# -> TSP FW update" fixed the problem to me.
Right now I had another touchscreen problem, was most difficult to replicate, happened when I keep the finger pressed, then the touchscreen got some kind of fail in that specific spot and stopped holding the press, I noticed because it was on the keyboard, and couldnt keep pressed R button to make the "4" appear, instead i got "rrrrrrr" (because touchscreen cant detect my finger pressed). When this happended, when I tried to swype over that zone, the detection was deflected or something like that (english is not my first language sorry)
Look at it

And this time AGAIN, "#2663# -> TSP FW update" fixed the problem for me.
The most weird thing ?? Both time the problem was gone when I grabbed the pone with one hand and used my other hand fingers in the touchscreen, BOTH THIS PROBLEMS WERE ONLY REPLICATED USING THE PHONE OVER A SURFACE, TABLE, BED, FLOOR, JUST WITH ONE HAND TOUCHING THE PHONE AND ON THE SCREEN. WHEN I GRABBED WITH ANOTHER I COULDNT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.
WHAT IS ****ING HAPPENING HERE, IS THIS NORMAL ???
Why #2663# and select TSP FW update -> always fix my problems ? is my phone broken ?
sorry for the giant pic, i dont know how to make spoilers in this forum

I may be wrong about this but this looks like a grounding problem. When you're using one hand to hold the phone, the charge from your hand using the phone is able to flow through your hand that is holding it. When you use it on an insulating material (eg. wood, cloth) the charge is unable to flow from the affected area which makes it unable to detect your touches.
should I change the phone ? I am the only one with this problem ? Why the update fixed the issue every time ?
