hi to all,
some day ago i broke my screen, then i bought a new one and replaced it. Only at the end i saw that my old touch screen was synaptics and the new one was Atmel. My old touch screen doesn't work anymore and even the new one doesn't work.
On my phone there is installed slimbean 7.2 probably without Atmel drivers; if i install a stock rom, will my touch screen work? if not, how can i do?
Please help me :crying:

Check if the cable is connected properly, it can come out easily.
The drivers are included in the kernel, so you will have both drivers installed automatically.

Anyone here experiencing the same problem? At first I thought that was normal, but at some point the touch screen worked while the slider was open and I was really happy with it but now, it no longer works what gives?
am i the only one experiencing this? do you think a ROM upgrade can fix this?
Sometimes (very rarely) the screen doesnt come on and I have to reset, but nothing like you descrived, sorry...
aw! i guess i have an isolated case. thanks twolf!
it's a screen cable problem. just fix it
last week, i had the same proplem. So i sent it to the guarantee service. They replaced the cable, which is connecting the screen with mainboard.
too bad my phone doesn't come with warranty. thanks for the info guys
my phone has the same problem,and I had used many roms, and all of them have the same problem.
my screen isen't working when the keybord is closed,
aneybody have the same problem??
problem
yes i do have the same problem ... my htc niki100 was not working when slide closed ... but when i open it works fine .... sometimes when slide open also it is not working i mean the touch screen ... i removed all parts of my htc niki and i take a look at that but all was fine and i dont know what was the probelm... i think htc failure model is niki... really pissd off guys due to this niki ... if any came to know how to make work that ... just post it and for u i am thankuful..
it is hardware problem. sent my device to service center and they changed the board for free since it is still under warranty. they said it was wear and tear. so it is only matter of time before the new board suffers from wearing out again. unless stop using the sliding keyboard, but tat's the main selling point touch dual is built for =\
how much is the cable $$ connecting the lcd to the boarD?
my niki is out of warranty............can any mobile phone repair shop fix it ?

If you google around you'll see this is quite a common complaint with the Touch Dual. There seems to be a certain flaw with the screen and cable which was never addressed. I had the exact same problem & eventually sent the phone back to HTC to be fixed.
Be warned though - HTC would not fix my phone eventhough it was still under warranty. They said the problem was due to User Mis-Use. My ass it was. I argued it out with them but in the end I just paid the UK£60 to get it fixed - robbing bastards!
You all seem to think it's a hardware issue, and I'm experiencing the same issue, but only under Windows Mobile (I've tried both 6.1 and 6.5 - all sorts of various roms). Android on the other hand, works fine. :/
EDIT:
Well now it's working on Windows too. After I ran Android... SO GIVE THAT A SHOT I GUESS. o.o
Hi
I've got the same problem it's starting to piss me off.. :[email protected]

i came in here to say the same thing.. weird. works fine in android.............
another thing worth noting is that if you keep a finger on the screen while sliding it seems to work everytime
My Niki has the same problem, when slide is open i cannot use the "send" button on the touch screen - so i have to close the slide, to send a SMS.
I bought a HTC Snap now, so my NIKI just lies in the drawer...
Sad, i like the Screen resolution and Rom software on the Niki better than the HTC Snap.
At http://www.ppctechs.com/HTC-Nike_1047/repairs.htm you can buy a HTC Nike ToolKit with special screwdrivers, maybe the cable just needs to be aligned properly, or fixed in a socket...
Has anyone tried to fix it themselves?
guys,
I had the same problem. In fact, my touch screen was totally not working at all. Some threat recon it's loosen cable so i opened my touch dual and tighten the lcd flex cable. It worked after that, but not working when slide is open. I've just changed the flex cable myself and it's working fine now. hope this help.

could you guide me how to fix it? I'm having this problem as well.
Do you have any kind of link as to how to open the niki, screws, cable, where to look etc...?
thanks!
Help please, this is driving me nuts.
The phone - HTC Rogers Magic 32A that is rooted and rom'ed. (I dont have the phone in from of me to give detailed info (spl/radio/rom), sorry)
The problem - the phone has a cracked digitizer. It still works but is very cracked. I ordered a new digitizer via HK, which did not work. Ordered a second and still no love.
So, I think that it may be a problem with the replacements and drivers / roms or something of that nature. The part numbers on the digitizers were slightly different that the original. (Original - Synaptics 940-255-3R2, Replacement - Synaptics 940-255-3RA)
The process - I have removed the old digitizer, then installed new and restarted. The touch screen does not work. If I then shut down, install old digitizer and restart, the touch screen works.
So, can anyone give me a plan of attack. I am thinking of bringing the phone back to Rogers stock and trying the new digitizer.
Advice please.....

Cant do, past warranty, not original owner. Any other suggestions?
Anybody have any further insight?
Trying to replace a digitizer, (should be easy, but none of the new ones work, tried 3). I noticed the part numbers are not quite the same from old to new.
I am going to go out on a limb here, working on the assumption that because of the different part numbers, they may require different drivers. Maybe the digitizer was undated in the newer models of the Magics?
So, my question.
When in the boot up / rom installation are the drivers for the digitizer called. When a rom is first installed, is the hardware detected and the correct drivers are installed. From then on using the same drivers throughout.
Is the device capable of seening diffenerent hardware after the initial installation, and if so, can it do anything about it? (install new drivers)
ANy suggestions anyone?
Can't post a link, but search digitizer in this forum, it talks about using ION ROM from Amon_Ra for aftermarket touchscreens.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like the problem. I will update this post if I can confirm.
going to 1.5 ION fixed the problem?
Hello, I have a Motorola Defy, that I dropped a few times, so the LCD screen got damaged with blue dots on it, I made a mistake and thought that the problem was on the touch Screen, so I purchased a replacement, installed but, it was damaged, the touch did not respond correctly, I wasn't able to type correctly among other problems.
I got a refund, then ordered a LCD screen replacement, now that I have it here, I install it, and it's broken:crying: I know, bad luck and being a rookie while trying to fix my phone, ok, I put back my old (damaged) LCD screen to use it in the meantime, and the old touch screen, but now, the old touch screen that was supposed to being working fine, it doesn't, it has the same problem as the touch screen that I bought.
Question is: the problem with the touch screen, could be related to the damaged LCD screen? or the motherboard of the phone is damaged? the phone works great, the apps, the games, everything but the touch screen and the LCD screen, but, as I said, I went back to the default touch screen after using the damaged one that I received, and it works worse I don't know what's wrong, please help me out, sorry for the long post
Please post questions in the Q&A section. Moved there.

Is this true?
true. fix some minor dead pixel if you put in freezer for one day. but your case... im dont hope much.
Try changing LCD + Capacitive Digitizer. (after trying the freezer trick ofcourse)
Well i will tell my story, which is related to your's as well,
i had a phone with resistive touch screen and it got screwed up, that is it does not respond correctly. So, i took it to the service center and they replaced the digitizer (touch screen) saying that previous one is broken. But, luckily the new one didn't responded to any touches they make.So, they replaced it again with the old one quoting that "your phone can't be repaired". So, i took it home with me.
Later i thought to calibrate the screen but the old one is not responding any more, no matter where i press
Later i calibrate it with the help of a software for windows mobile with the help of a PC. It took me to the calibration screen, from where i calibrated it, and voila, it worked... as good as a new one :victory:
long story short,
i think when you disconnected your digitizer, phones default values/drivers got messed up and are unable to find the new or the old digitizer you connect. I suggest you to go to the service center as these screens can not be calibrated.
Is there NO WAY at all to recalibrate the screen from the phone itself? or using an application? the delicalibration might be the problem....I'd like to fix it myself :/ thanks for the tip, never heard about it before!!

I replaced my original digitizer screen for the one I ordered it, it gave me problems, so I went back to the original one, which was working fine, and now it's not fully responding, that's why I'm assuming is something calibration related, thanks!

hi to all,
some day ago i broke my screen, then i bought a new one and replaced it. Only at the end i saw that my old touch screen was synaptics and the new one was Atmel. My old touch screen doesn't work anymore and even the new one doesn't work.
On my phone there is installed slimbean 7.2 probably without Atmel drivers; if i install a stock rom, will my touch screen work? if not, how can i do?
Please help me
I dropped my phone and cracked the screen. So since I've did that, the touch screen doesn't work. I went to get the screened replaced and went to test it out and it still doesn't work. What's not allowing my touch screen to work after getting the screen replaced? If I change the screen does is the digitizer attached to the screen so therefore it will get changed too or is it a separate hardware?
Most likely faulty replacement part.
Try downgrade to 4.2.2

Hi, I've purchased a cheap diplay at ebay. Touch didnt work any more.. after a number of tests i found out this was due to a HW test at boot. When downgrading 4.2.2 everything works fine. Any upgrade 4.3+ failed to enable digitizer after reboot.
PS: When booting eg 4.4.4 with the old digitizer connected and then connect the new digitizer w/o rebboting the the touch was working well.. I'm very interested in geting a confirmation or reason what causes this issue kindly keep me posted
Most replacement screens use an original LCD (recycled from a cracked screen) fitted with a copy touchscreen. Either the incompatibility could be deliberate on LGs part but I think it's probably due to a driver update or something which has broken compatibility with the reverse engineered touchscreen. It could also be a coincidence, some copy parts are prone to just not working for no real reason sometimes.
Hey DrFredPhD
Can you imagine a costum rom with the old touchscreen drivers from 4.2.2 into 4.4.4?
What would this require: To compile a costum kernel? The drivers would usually be in compiled form in the boot.img, right?
I've tried to flash 4.4.4 with the old boot.img from 4.2.2. - but the phone didn't start (as expected..)
Can you imagine someone how could help me in this regard? I think there may be a number of people facing the same problem..
Anyway, thanks for your help - Greetings :good:
Binaries are available for nexus 4, maybe compiling from AOSP with older binaries would work, but you might break functionality too.
It's been done on other devices but probably not for the reason you want.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#makojdq39
So what are you essentially saying? Put the mb in a good working nexus and see if it works or that maybe the tech put a new digitizer with the old rom driver onto an older mb with a new rom driver? And that could possibly cause conflict with drivers or roms? Which in turn will not allow my screen to function?
The part he put on is crap, if you put a decent replacement screen on it'll work fine.

Are you sure? Because I don't wanna regret spending money on a new screen and it doesn't work. :laugh:
I've seen phones damaged by a repair bad enough that the touch will never work, but I've seen far more copy touchscreens that are useless.
Hi Guys
Just to say: may bad fake faulty touch "per se" works well under 4.2.2 and updated 4.4.4 also! It just prohibited "start" the phone with this digitizer attached! Both, phone and digitizer are fully functional and "compatible"..
