Not strictly a question so i figured i'd put it here.
Hi guys - I dropped my phone and now there is a crack from the bottom of the screen leading up to the dock. The screen's touch does not work up to here but works fine above this level (above the level of the dock)
Has anyone else experienced this and how did you overcome it?
e.g. is there a tool to reside the screen or a way of moving the on screen buttons?
Please share anything that you have learnt!

My XDA Mini has a screen issue.
Only part for the screen (the middle) has stopped responding to the touch pad.
How do I fix this, has anyone else had it?
Cheers
Max
My Wizard (O2 XDA Mini S) has just developed this problem. The touch screen does not respond to touches around the middle of the screen. The outside edges of the screen work fine however.
I've had it for about 4 years now though, so I suppose its lasted well really. It's a G4 and I installed a WM6.1 ROM on it about 6 months ago (which is awesome btw, makes the phone sooo much better / faster!) but I don't think this is related to the problem.
Any known fix for this? I think it's a hardware issue since I also have the problem where upon opening/closing the keyboard, the screen goes white with multicoloured vertical lines and the phone emits a high pitched noise (have to put phone into standby then wake it up again to resolve). This, whilst annoying, I can live with, but not now the middle of the screen no longer responds to touches
I read somewhere its to do with the ribbon cable that connects the screen and main board, its gets trapped or worn over time as the keyboard is slid in and out. So I guess the touch problem is a more severe symptom of this? Can it be fixed?
Also a point of interest is that I keep the phone in the case a lot of the time. Could the magnets have possibly affected the screen? Anyone else with this problem keep the phone in its case a lot?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
My screen on the 8125 seems to have a mind of its own. When the screen saver kicks on or it goes dark from being inactive. The screen will have to be repositioned thru the alignment tool. somedays the touch doesn't even work right at all. I also have another that the screen is broen on if anybody needs some parts. Any ideas how to cure this problem???
Anyine able to help with this? Anyone?
Hi all,
I have replaced touch layer in my hd2 and buttons. Everything was great, but sometimes HD2 has very strange behavior. For example, Iam at home screen, just scrolling thru apps, when suddenly touch layer starts to recognize touches in upper part of display. This can happen even when I dont have any fingers on phone ... If I want to stop this I usually put multiple fingers on layer, or just go to lock screen. So Iam wondering if my touch layer isn't somehow broken, or if is there any short circuit or something else? Do anyone of you have same experience as me?
Thx for all tips
Now I know this problem has been asked before but after some extensive searches I can see there are no clean fixes for this.
My Nexus 4 (Android 5.0.2 LiquidSmooth ROM) has started showing ghost touches at the bottom part of the screen. I know there are a lot of explanations available such as digitizer not working, battery being too old etc. But I'm not interested in these hardware issues/fixes.
I have isolated the area of effect as the bottom ~160 pixel height of the device. I then proceeded to use the ADB shell command
wm overscan 0,0,0,160
which removed that portion from the UI. This fixed the effects these phantom touches have on the apps or UI. But a problem still remains that these ghost touches happen in too many numbers and this leaves other usable areas of the screen insensitive to touch. I am guessing this is due to the multi touch limit being reached in that bottom unused part itself. Multi touch testing apps dont pick up touches on the top part of the screen
So my question is, is it possible to remove a part of the screen from the System itself? Ideally a thick black bar of unused area, leaving me with a shorter yet fully working screen? Or atleast is it possible to turn off touch response in that lower part of the screen so that it doesnt max out the multi touch limit?
My Nexus 4's is same too
I think, that ghost touch will work from Screen Digitizer. My Nexus 4's screen digitizer was non-LG's digitizer, it was fake. I need to change that digitizer
I workaround this issue avoid using undervoling in the kernel, and avoid lower temperatures in phone, yes as you read ... this issue give my crazy when my phone was to hot and I tried to cold my phone using one ice cube in screen and back, the temperature of the phone down but ghost touches appears again, so played some videos to warm the phone again and dissapear again.
Don't ask me about how it works, or relation with screen, digitizer or battery, I don't understand but help me to workaround the issue.
Hi
I am using lenovo Z2 plus an have been encountering problem with touch not working. The touch works for 1 second after unlocking the phone and then stops automatically. I have tried resetting the phone, installing new custom roms but in all cases touch works for some time after unlocking and then stops working. Any suggestions on what to do?
Hey guys, is there anyone who can suggest me what to do? Would really appreciate some help
I guess touch display is broken. I had the same problem after a slight drop. Screen was perfectly ok but touch was broken. I replaced the whole screen since it was easier method

I'm facing the same problem right now.
Is it working for you now? Help me fix this.
I had same problem. I found a temporary solution some where-
1. Lock phone screen.
2. Put your right thumb anywhere on screen and keep it there.
3. Now unlock your screen with right hand fingers, dont lift your left thumb from screen.
4. As long as your left thumb is on screen, it will respond normally, it ayou lift your left thumb, screen will freeze and you have to repeat all avobe steps.
I know this is very annoying, but something is better than nothing.
Well my phone screen touch worked normally itself within 1 month without any repair.

I'm not facing this problem anymore. But, touch doesn't work on top of the screen.
I did whatever you told, yet it doesn't work. Is there a solution for this?
