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

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
Ok I have had my Mogul now just over a year and I just had to replace it due to unable to receive incoming calls out of my home area. Come to find out after I received the replacement phone, it was my account that was the problem and not the phone. Anyway this new mogul I am having a terrible time with sensitivity on the touch screen (not using the stylus). My old one was great, loved the phone and had no problem what so ever. With this one it is random, but it seems like I have to press extremely hard on the touch screen to get it to register. Is there a way to calibrate the sensitivity of the touch screen? I know about the "align screen" under settings but is not working.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks....Tannerj

I tested out the HD2 outside in below freezing temps, and it really had a tough time registering my finger presses. It took about 5 minutes, before it could register properly... Anyone experience these issues?
Yes, and the wind keeps pressing things which makes it almost useless. I'm hoping some of the hints here on how to make it less sensitive will help but I haven't tried it yet.
I've noticed the "ghost" pressing (the screen registered a LOT of presses when my fingers were nowhere near the screen) of the screen too. I also contacted HTC support on the issue, and they said it was not a known problem.
So, again, I'd suggest that if you're experiencing issues with the screen in cold temperatures (finger touches not registering, "ghost pressing" etc.), let HTC know about it!
i got that kind of ghost typing too. pretty funny to watch but annoying when you see its deleting mails, answering sms or calls people ... will contact htc as well to let them know.
Confirmed here too. Though I thought it was caused by constant rain/snow here in Moscow, which fell directly on the screen when the ghost tapping occured.
Yeah I get the ghost tapping but only after i've been in a call and hang up, it then starts doing all sorts of things by itself normally ending up with dialling someone!! :/
I dunno about the ghost-typing but isn't it a common fact that capacitive screens don't work well with low temperatures?
That's a capacitive touch-panel "Feature" . HTC can't do anything about it (besides lowering the screen sensitivity).
edit: Umiss beat me to it lol
you can lower the screen sensitivity either by installing the new 1.48 rom or using the cab from the hints and tweaks thread in opening couple of posts. Should help.
I looked around to see if anyone has this problem. I am stock Verizon, non-rooted. I have a spigen ultra crystal screen saver on. And many times when I touch the screen to unlock it, it just turns off. Like I am touching it twice. I assure you I am not. Quite aggrevating. Do you think it could be the screen protector causing the problem? I have had it on since the first day so I don't have a point of reference. Is anyone else having issues unlocking screen? Thanks.
Not at all.
I have been experiencing a lost in responsiveness lately,screen won't respond to touch, phone does not come back from black screen when call ends, etc... Did the usuals, reset, device care and so on.
Anyone else having this ? I am on latest update and security parch on Rogers in Canada.
