I have been having some problems with my leo where i cannot unlock it after coming out of standby. The screen just freezes.
And sometimes when i press the END button to get it out of standby, the key lights come on, but nothing else happens.
Apparently others have this issue too! - check out u-tube video:

Has anyone else had this or still having this? Do i have to return my phone for another one?
Have you tried a hard reset?

Haven't had the issue. Vaguely read about this somewhere else, might be related to the default WM 6.5 lockscreen. Disable it and try something like S2U2 and see if u still have the same issue.
I have same problem with my device. Is this software or hardware problem? I have to do hard reset, and after that display can be stack. So I have to do soft reset, and phone working. It happens to me 2 times in one day, both times after I have been in room with very bad signal. Maybe that can produce problem. Symptoms are same as on YouTube video.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
i face this b4, it happend few times a day. but after i do hard reset the problem is solved. i think should be installed something conflict with the phone or inproper amended some registry
i used to have this but now it is less common after I have installed WMTask to Close applications when I hit "X" (instead of WM just minimizing the app). In effect it frees up memory and hopefully does cause your HD to struggle for memory when waking up?
guys,
for your info, I installed a new ROM and this didnt help. So it is NOT a SOFTWARE issue. I returned my phone for a new replacement unit and no more issues.
Sorry to say but if u have this problem u need to send your phone back.
I now have no more issues!
Mine has been doing this a lot. Turning it back on just results in the keys lighting up and nothing more.
Work around is to turn on so keys light up, hold down power key until lights all go off, then press power key again ... it will come back to the lock screen.
Thanks for your prompt answer.
It is not seems as memory problem, because if I remove and return battery problem stay. Maybe it can be problem with display driver. Also it is a little strange that after hard reset, I have to do soft reset to get it work again. I not like to change rom version, because it can void my guaranty, and maybe it is hardware problem.
Mine does exactly the same thing once it gets warm. Decided to return it after trying multiple hard resets. ROM changes and S2U2. Made no difference.
As I've joked on this forum before (although it's true), I had to put mine in the freezer to get the screen to work again so it sounds to me like a hardware issue.
Mine's going back for a replacement next week...
HTC HD2 freezes quite often Solution

Well thanks for the solution so if we get that bug , just put your brand new HTC HD2 on the freeser lol
I had similar problem four mornings in a row. Hardware keys would light up but screen dead. Soft reset got it going again, and a hard reset made no difference, even without reinstalling my softwares (I had a clock alarm set for each morning, maybe this is just coincidence). Someone on another forum with a similar issue suggested installing MemMaid, and for me this has worked. Running a regular 'clean' has meant that the problem has not returned, for three days now. So far! I notice that every clean finds many duplicate or invalid 'notifications', not sure if these somehow accumulate and cause the device to crash? Maybe worth trying? So problem for me at least is software related. HTC need to sort this as it is really annoying, and MemMaid is only free as a trial.

I am not quite sure that is software problem, if you done hard reset, and display still not respond on touch.
Soft or hard reset could clear the problem, I just mean that a hard reset didn't avoid the problem coming back. My current ROM is the official 1.48, didn't have this issue on the previous official ROM.
I got confirmation from service today, that it is hardware issue with phone display.

How do you know if youre phone should be replaced? Does it happen every time?
This happens to me every so often.
ya, I'm experiencing this as well. real drag!
The same thing happened to me aswell.
I recieved a message and when I tried to unlock the screen, nothing happened. The hardware keys worked but the screen didn't register my touches.
Tried soft reset, didn't work. Removed battery for a while, didn't work. Hard reset, didn't work. Flashed official ROM from HTC, didn't work.
It's been sent for repair. Hope I get it back quickly
I actually don't. But I insist to get phone replaced. I wrote appeal to company where I buy phone. Also I wrote down S/N and IME so I can check if I get new one.
Got the exact same problem, have been complaining about this in different topic here.
Sometimes couldn't unlock screen for many hours... then suddenly works again.
I've tried everything : decreasing/inscreasing screen sensitivity with reg, removing the screen lock, stopping the weather animation as suggested, putting a second finger in a corner while touching the screen : NOTHING WORKS
The only thing i'm convinced : it IS a hardware problem.
When the screen didn't react at all for some hours, sometimes playing with its humidity could help for a few minutes only ( by cleaning the screen with some special wet lcd cleaner or cleaning the screen with some humidity from my breath).
Also i'm travelling a lot (several countries a week)... and noticed THE PROBLEM APPEARS IN COUNTRY WHERE HUMIDITY IS HIGH. (that's also the reason why freezer could help. in a freezer, it's so cold, that the humidity is not in the air anymore, but is in ice state).
MAYBE SOME GOOD NEWS:
I recently bought the HTC screen protection for the HD2 (5 days ago).
Thanks to it, Air humidity doesn't touch the screen directly anymore.
And the problem hasn't appeared, not even once!
I just arrived a few hours ago in the country where i always had the problem (cause of its high humidity), and guess what ? Screen is still working great
I'll keep u up to date if problems come back.... but for now, i really think this is the solution (with logical explanation).

Hi Guys i hope somebody who knows about capacitive touch screens can help me! I have taken my HD2 apart to fix a smashed camera lense. On removing the back cover i used a small screwdriver to prise off the back case and unclip it all round. It came off with no problem, i fixed the camera and put it back together. When i turned the device back on the touch screen isn't responding to my finger on any screen. Like i turned the touch screen off! The hard buttons still wok but nothing from the screen. Nothing looks damaged (I.e the glass isn't smashed). I seem to think i might have damaged something when prising the cover off with the screwdriver. Please, any suggestions would be really helpful!!!
Can anybody out there help with this? I am currently without a phone :-(
I have exactly the same problem, but it happened from nowhere. I didnot unscrew anything. Please Help
Check the flex cable.. this part are very delicate.

same problem
ive got the same problem, mine just stopped working, i performed a soft and hard reset, removed the battery still nothing. it worked for a moment but once locked it stopped working again, only the hard buttons.
same problem but it works on and off. basically the screen will respond until the phone is put into hibernate. the after that id have to push the phone button and end button back and forth until it responds
Same Issue independant of ROM
Same issue here.
Funny thing is it started a week or two ago randomly out of the blue.
Same scenario:
lock the phone can't get touchscreen to respond for unlock
Judging by these posts everyone started seeing this about the same time, maybe it's a software issue or background app .
Help!
I have same problem. It can work for a couple of hours or in 1-2 days then just stop responding, almost every time when in hibernate. Lets just hope it's not hardware failure.
This started happening to me this morning. Out of 50 tries, managed to unlock the phone three times only. This happened out of the blue, right after i removed my phone from the charger.
Have soft reset, hard reset, reflashed ROM, but the issue still remains.
I really really hope this is not a hardware issue.
Does anyone out there know how to solve this? My phone is virtually unusable right now...
Same problem here, I've been testing for about 2,5 months now and today I've sent mine back to HTC . I think it's a hardware problem, tried everything from hard resetting to reflashing. When I press the HTC logo and keep it pressed the screen does respond again. Conclusion: hardware problem.

You're probably right.
I've also tried everything. But kind of strange that if I lock when not on home tab it seems to work. And the screen, almost always, reacts as it should as long as I just dont' lock it.
I just started to get this issue. touch screen works fine until it hibernates. reflashed, still happens. found this in my search:
htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/
just got off the phone with tmo. they are sending me a new one.
Yeah, it happened to me as well. I opened a new thread like a month ago explaining the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710282&styleid=15
and I contributed in another one concerning the same issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708530
Summing all up, it ain't caused by a software or a ROM of some kind (at least in my case) because soft and hard resets didn't solve it nor did the flash of a stock ROM. The most probable cause is a digitizer (touchscreen) defect that appears randomly and totally out of the blue. The only thing to do in my opinion is to send the phone in for repair, which I did. It came back with a check mark on "calibrated screen" checkbox. As of now phone's working fine and I hope they solved it even though I read of other people who have had their leo's screens completely replaced..
A curious side note: htc care reset to zero my phone's call duration timers..
I'm not sure if it's the screen. In my case I think it's the connector from the screen to the motherboard, because pressing the housing seems to help.
But let's see if HTC is able to repair it, I hope they are, because the problem is so random they might not even see it
After losing functionality on my touch screen for a week, finally decided to send it in. Took the trouble to revert my HSPL to original and Stock Rom.
Repair should take about a week. Now I'm stuck with an ancient Nokia 6230i for this week. I feel so lost without my ppc. Have had one for as long as I can remember.
Hopefully the phone comes back okay...
I've had so much problem with the screen not responding so I did all backup then reflashed, hard reset to put the device back to stock. Did this during the weekend, I even fired up my old iphone 3g to have as backup phone.
All set today to go to the store and have it repared under warranty.
But since Sunday evening it works perfect. I've been testing it a lot and the screen has not stop responding even once.
This might be just temporarily but does anyone else experienced something like this?
Mine sometimes worked well for hours... days... but eventually the problem came back.
Mine died on me when I was actually out of the country (stuck in Vietnam without a phone). It would work for 5 minutes, then stop for hours. I would have to switch my phone on and off for a couple hundred times before it worked for another 5 minutes...
Got so tired of it that i sent back my HD2 for warranty repair. Expect it to be back tomorrow (or Friday at the latest). Hope there's no further problems with it.
I hate to say it, but the HD2 is known for its highly defective touchscreen. Even when it's working, a lot of people experience strange and bothering events, such as the touchscreen "touching" itself, a very high/very low screen sensitivity all of a sudden, the tilting of the screen to one of the four corners of the device and so on and so forth.
With a device so expensive one would expect it to work flawlessly. Seems to me that HTC doesn't think the way we do...
17/9/2010 EDIT: With a lot of feedback from this thread and other threads, it has come out that, waking up the phone with the YES/CALL/SEND green button is BETTER than waking up with the NO/END/POWER red button for SOD reasons.

Hello guys,
You probably know I am actively in the Android HD2 porting community.
I am having the strangest touch screen problem. I am really experienced into winmo and android stuff. Please read carefully.There is a surprise at the end.
BOTH under Android AND Winmo my touchscreen works just fine after bootup.
It first started like this:
At first my touchscreen stopped responding when I hold no button to make a reboot/power off. I thought it was from the usual Android touch screen freeze related to g sensor. Then I realized that it was the same in Winmo! Holding no button ALSO caused touch screen to die even under winmo.
Then it started loosing touch after sleeping. My touch is ALWAYS working when I boot winmo OR android and works for hours if not put to sleep. But it stops working after putting it to sleep.
Frustrated,
I restored with spb backup. Didn't work.
I reflashed my winmo rom. Didn't work.
I made a hard reset. Didn't work.
I removed sd card. Didn't work.
I removed sim card. Didn't work.
I changed the date. Didn't work. (this was a strange fix for some blackberries)
I flashed original 1.66 Turkish rom, 2.07 original old radio, even original 1.42 SPL which makes this hd2 fully stock the day I bought it. Even made another hard reset. Still didn't work!
By this time it's obvious this is a hardware problem and needs warranty.
OK
THEN I FOUND THE STRANGEST THING:
If I wake up the phone with ANY hard button other than the NO/HANGUP button touch screen WORKS!!! (Yes/Send button under Android)
BELIEVE ME, I HAVE TRIED FLASHING REFLASHING RESETTING AND TESTED 100 TIMES and YES it is ALWAYS the same. This is not a random thing.
If I wake up my phone with No button under ANDROID OR WINMO, my touch doesn't work. But if I wake up with back button windows button home button yes button, the phone wakes up properly AND touch works. Android of course doesn't work with the original radio, so I wasn't launching Android with the last test.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE AT ALL?? It looks like hardware fault, but touch loss IS related to NO button!
I will send my phone to warranty anyway but it will happen after the holiday (not before mid september)
IF ANYONE have an issue like this, PLEASE post.
I just want to make sure this issue isn't related to Android porting. If it is, this might be an important info. Maybe it may help devs fixing the general touch screen and wake up problems. Also everybody TRY waking up Android with the yes/send button to see if it helps with your wake up or sod issues and provide feedback. Also it may help with the phone not responding after hangup in Android. There is something hardware going at the background with the no/hangup button. I know this issue is hardware fault but still may shed light to our problems with touch screen and wake up issues. Maybe there is something hardware or firmware inside the phone waking up the digitizer. I know that hangup/no/end button is internally different than the other buttons, something like it shares the power button function that is usually on the top of the device with other htc devices. (Mine is a european hd2 and the hangup button is not red) I also wasn't using an overclocking kernel.
Please think twice before posting, and don't post anything useless. I am absolutely no noob, you can search my previous 200+ posts. I wouldn't post anything unless I am definitely sure. And I have a feeling that this thread has the potential to help or make something come out. If it doesn't, no harm done.
since most of the time inwinmo or android the no or yes button pop up generally on the same side in both os's and , taking in consideraton it might be a hardware issue , i would say you issue might be a harsware issue undr the screen when you touch no...wild guess
I was the same problem.... but it is even worst for me now...
Before, at least work touch others buttons... now my touchscreen DON'T WORK. :-(
I suppose that it's a hardware problem :-(

BIt strange this one to be honest I think it may just be your device as there are now hundreds of users of android on the hd2 and this is extremely rare. Hopefully a dev will look into and find a possible solution but I doubt it. If I was you I would put it back to stock and send it off to HTC for a new one. Even if a dev manages to find the problem you will have a new or as new hd2
I have been trying and I must say that I sort of do share your experience. The most left button (referred to as yes) awakes the phone just right as where the most left (No) takes its time to start the phone. I haven't had any noticable touch issues that could be related to these hard buttons yet.. (I think)
But I do think you have a point.
Interesting, I had something similar. I was using elegancia rom v1 for the longest time, with all my android builds, no problems. Then I went to chunkydroid rom, and had a few issues, with multiple android installs (one of which was my original that was working before.)
Then I rebooted into chunkydroid, (windows), and had the same issue. It was strange. I tried a few other roms, same problem. Turned off the phone, next day, reflashed chunky again, and hyperdroid 1.1, no issues since. (Only difference, which I don't know if it's related, but again, might help, is that I was overclocking. I have since not let anything go above 998 in setcpu, and even removed all builds that were overclocking. I though it might have had something to do with it (and the phone wasn't warm at all.)
I have not been able to duplicate the problem since though (even with overclocking just to see). So I'm pretty stumped. I'm sure the devs will work it out.
I have taken to pressing the yes/send key to wake up my phone as it seems more consistent than pressing the end key. My theory is that multiple wake up/sleep messages are being sent on the end key and the system gets confused. Some sort of debounce might help.
Just my thoughts.
Running shui8 realstock rmnet with micyprima r9.
It seems waking up the phone with the Yes/Send button somehow seems better with current builds and kernels.
I am asking everybody reading this thread to try waking up their Android devices with the yes/send key and share their experience if it is making their Android wake up quicker with less SODs.
Note: I am still using yes key wake up as a workaround for my hardware touchscreen fault. Still absolutely works everytime. I found out that if I accidentally try to wake up with the no/hangup key I need to wait about 10-15 seconds before yes/send key does its magic again.
well, i tried there is absolutely no difference between any hard button. if i have sod, none of them solves... actually its not sod i think, when you try to put standby and wake up several times quickly, screen stops responding for a while. you need to wait at least 15 seconds between each standby and wake up. can i fix this? or this is the sod?
Waking up with the yes/send button would not make any difference if your phone can wake up good with the no/hangup button already. But we are trying to find out if yes/send button wakes up better in long term usage. (no/hangup button sometimes can't wake up and that is the sod refers to)
SOD happened to me few times too with the NO/Hangup button and if/when that happens, if you press NO/Hangup button for long(for the menu with the turn off the phone,reboot,plane mode,...etc options) screen comes back BUT sometimes it locks the screen brightness to lowest possible setting(with %0 actually it doesn't completely turns off as you know).
Other than that "bug" NO/Hangup button works fine for me but as the OP, YES button is more stable and no SODs happen with the YES button...
Btw there is no difference for me YES button vs NO/Hangup button by means of quickness... Both works the same speed unless of course there is no SOD with the NO/Hangup button...
Just wanted to share my experience...
This thread is awesome
Thanks for this thread. I have been trying to use any android build for at least a full day with no success. Ive used different winmo roms and radios such as chucky and miri roms. I still ran into sod's. After waking with the yes/button i have had no sod issues since then, Once again awesommmmmmmme thread.
After some time my digitizer died almost completely. (Issue became worse) It is currently being handled under warranty. (digitizer is replaced)
But at least with a lot of feedback from this thread and other threads, it has come out that, waking up the phone with the YES/CALL/SEND green button is BETTER than waking up with the NO/END/POWER red button for SOD reasons.
any solution to this issue yet because i just started having this exact same problem w/ my HD2 yesterday before that it was perfectly normal and all the suddon the Power/END/NO button wake up cause the screen to not respond to the touch at all however wake up w/ home,back,menu,call button the touch screen works is back to normal
still can't figure out if its a hardware or software problem cause i also tried flashing bunch of roms/radios/and android roms as well and even went back to stock rom in hope for a solution
waking with green is about 2s faster for me.
Same thing happens to me before 2 days.I tried many hard resets,roms,radios and my screen didnt work.I couldnt even login in wm.
My screen was completely dead.The last thing i did,before my screen goes unresponsive was to push no/hangup button in android to open it
At first also i thought it was a g-sensor issue,but then realise that it was much more than it.
Until the moment i read this thread
The way it worked for me
I open the device with no button of course,made a soft reset from red hole and i wait until the device goes to standy itself.Then i open it from send button and voila touch is back !!!!
Strange thing but it works.Thank you very much you are a genius
sure the touch comes back when it wakes up using all other buttons except the power/end button so why is that all the sudden the power/end button causes the screen to go unresponsive
like for say when i hold the power/end key to open the pHONES OPTIONS in windows or android once the PHONES OPTIONS shows up and i try to click on power off or reboot on the screen the touch doesn't respond so the only way to reset or power off the device completely is the either use the reset button in the back or pull the battery out
i'm going to be sending it under warrenty/insurance to t-mobile and hopefully get a replacement cause i'm so use to the power/end button to wake up my device...
Guys be extremely carefull when using hard buttons in android.Finally my problem with screen is not the end button but the back arrow button.This button is necessary for using android and i have pushed it many many times the last months as i am using android.Νοw every time i pushed it my touchscreen stops responding.Τhe last time i pushed it my screen stopped responding(i thought for ever) and didnt knew the exactly reason that this happens.Because i didnt want to send the device to htc (firstly i must send it to expansys in france and they will send it to htc) and take it back at christmas i decided to go to a local mobile service.I wasnot mind for warranty cause i wouldnt be able to live 4 weeks without hd2.I was ready to give 600euros to buy desire hd
Result from service
At firstly he said to me that hd2 have no touchscreen problem and it works ok
I paid 20euros for opening the device and took it back.At first 5 minutes my screen stopped responding again and didnt knew the reason.For my good luck i leave the device untouched 10 minutes and the screen come back again.Then i used it and the time i pushed the back button the screen stopped working,fortunatelly for little seconds.Now i know.My screen stop responding when i push back button.So i change the keylayout to my android build and now i push send key instead of back and volume up key for menu and volume down for power on-off and hd2 works perfect after 24 hours without touching the back button
Also in monday i will go to service again to fix the button problem
Same issue with me
Exactly same issue with me. I have been using Winmo and Android on and off in my HD2. couple of weeks back, touch didnt respond after waking up the device from standby by pushing endkey.
tried everything - flash/stock rom/removed SD card/ hard reset/clear storage/custom rom/ battery pull out etc...
touch worked suddenly and only when i slightly touch the end key instead of pushing it fully, the start menu opened..this happened for few days and when ever i push the end key...screen goes unresponsive. all other hardware buttons are working fine and if at all i push end key the issue starts.
unfortunately my friend pushed the end key once and the screen never responded after this....now am using my old p3450 htc touch...
i think if we change the AP BOARD (Flex ribbon-keyboard chip) everything will go back to normal coz its not the problem with digitizer or the lcd of the software for sure.
trying to order one in ebay, we can change this ourselves...no need to send it to service centers and waste money on it.
if any of you have done this already...let me know if it worked for you.
guys dont know if it is allready known but there is a app called sidebar style swkey
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9726110#post9726110 which puts software buttons in the screen.This app is definitely button saver
First of all, I have a screen lcd that is not broken. The screen, however, is not responding to my fingers/touch. I think it's the digitizer. The hardware buttons work fine though.
What do I do to fix this?
Do you think the digitizer connecter is loose or has dirt or even broken?
I have a T-Mobile US HD2 and I think I'm still under warranty but not sure.
Fix Attempts:
I have checked Clockwork Recover and selected advanced>key test
and I get key codes when I press the hardware buttons, but no code when
I touch the screen.
I have tried wiping the data/factory reset & wiping the cache partition
& wiping the Dalvik cache, but same problem.
I have tried flashing different android roms, but same problem.
I have magldr 1.13 and clockwork recovery v3.0.0.5.

Thanks for your help.

and I get key codes when I press the hardware buttons, but no code when
I touch the screen.
I have tried wiping the data/factory reset & wiping the cache partition
& wiping the Dalvik cache, but same problem.
I have tried flashing different android roms, but same problem.
I have magldr 1.13 and clockwork recovery v3.0.0.5.

First of all, I have a screen lcd that is not broken. The screen, however, is not responding to my fingers/touch. I think it's the digitizer. The hardware buttons work fine though.
What do I do to fix this?
Do you think the digitizer connecter is loose or has dirt or even broken?
I have a T-Mobile US HD2 and I think I'm still under warranty but not sure.

Seeing as you have the T-Mobile model of the HD2 you could buy you a small hex head screw driver and open up your phone to check the LCD/ digitizer ( Ithink they both have the sameribbon for the connection to the mainboard)ribbon connector as they just plug in on the T-Mobile HD2. This is a desision that is totally up to you though if you want to try this. But if you do still have a warranty I highly suggest you send it in to be repaired or replaced..
I double tao my end key and press again to wake phone from sleep and problem dissappears for a while not permenantly. Hope this helps
its something with the end key. mine is too not responding.
I've had all that problems
For few month my digitizer was not responding from time to time, but after few "power on" / "power off" it was ok.
After some time it stops working / responding permanently
I try everything !
I didn't had warranty any more so I give my hd2 to non-authorized service and they change only digitizer for 220 PLN ( Poland ) what is about 50 E
Now it's working great again.
If You want to change digitizer by yourself - don't try it - its very tricky and You are risking lcd damage. lcd with digitizer can be bought for 90 E - most safe solution for DIY way.

The reason why the end key thing works for some people is that the end key is pretty much like right on top of where the connection on the main board for the ribbon that goes to the digitizer and the LCD. So pressing it sometimes causes the degitizer to work again for a little while.

hey it worked for me! after reading a lot of threads, i bumped to this and tried it. But I guess this is just a temporary fix until I get hold of HTC to replace my digitizer or fix the lose connection inside. well I still have my DHD as a primary device. anyway thanks a bunch!
what i do and works allllll the time is if it turn the phone on and theres no response i double click it fast to turnn n turn on again and like nothing it works
Same here
I recently replaced mine because of the unresponsive screen. The problem was very specific though. If i tried to use the red (end-call) key or the back (left facing arrow) key to wake up the phone the screen turned on but i couldnt unlock it. But if i used either of the other three keys to wake it up it was fine. Also if i used the back key at any time during use the touch screen became unresponsive and i had to lock the phone and unlock it again (using one of the left 3 keys) for it to register touch. I dont know if its because, apparently, those two keys are over the digitizer connection or if its just because those keys were more worn out than the others. It seems the former is more likely. Just some specific info about my experience, hope this helps someone.
Also if you have the "screenoff" app and "button savior" app you can get away with using it like this for a while.

Exactly same problem.. Now it seems a lot of HD2's have this problem.
It's obvious now that the repetitive pressing of the buttons is causing digit. to fail... But I don't see why, when I took mine out... everything was fine (no physical damage), I had my friend look it over with a magnifier - he didn't see any cracks on the cables, everything was soldered in place...
btw... does anybody knows what is the purpose of that metal mesh thingy that is glued on the back of the LCD over the flex cable?
I have read many treads about non functional touchscreens on the HD2. Most common problem is that the touchscreen suddenly not responds. Some times it works some times it doesn't. This same occurred with my HD2 phone last week.
I have tried several things like hard/soft reset. Original ROM via SD boot etc. Non of these things solved my problem. What's not clear to me in the treads I have read is if replacement of the screen + digitizer is the solution of this issue (non responding screen). Or is it an other hardware problem and the phone is/gets useless.
Can anyone advise me if touchscreen + digitizer is the solution?
Thanks for your comments in advance!
yes that is Exactly the solution
So I can conclude it is no hardware problem (other then touchscreen + digitizer).
afraid so...
but i remember alot of people were having problems with their screen when running android via sd in the earlier days. and when magdlr came out, poof, some people who had digitizer issues had there screens working again. lol.
