[Q] Touchscreen Problem

Alright, so here's my problem. My touchscreen won't response to any finger movement. I could press the hardware buttons like power, volume and talk and it response to that but my problem is mainly trying to get inside my rom. I tried flashing rom via NAND and via clockwork mod and nothing helps. The G Sensor seems to work just fine because it rotates the screen when I'm inside my ROM. I could go back into MAGLDR but I don't think anything there is going to help?
Has anyone else experience anything like this and if so, what did you do to solve it?

had same problem, found a FIX
i have had same problem past couple of days. i was running darkstones SuperRAM_FroYo_V1.5 build with oz 2 cleanex rom. i know that every now and again it would be a pain to unlock the device with the agonising wait for the lock screen to show up but this time the touch screen would not work at all not recognising any movement and not dragging the unlock button across. i would have to take the battery out and restart, even some times touch screen would fail completely when in winmo too, got to a point when 3 days of working then not working and taking the battery out a million times to boot back into android to unlock the device, then touch screen died completely.
FIX- Hard reset
will reset windows mobile. all data on device will be lost.
hold down up-vol key and down-vol key, soft reset button and then power button till it displays formatting screen. follow on screen instructions.
hope this helps.

I have this problem and have found no way to fix it, I have tried everything except possibly going to the clk loader instead of magldr. when i put the phone to sleep with the power button is when i have the issue of not being able to unlock my phone in Android. I have tried task 29, going back to original windows roms, sd and nandroid, it is a hardware issue related to the digitizer as far as I'm concerned. I love my HD2 and really need to fix or find another one. I know this doesn't help, but maybe a little more insite if nothing else

I had the same issue. With my 1st HD2 it started as an intermittent problem, then eventually completely stopped working. With my replacement it just started to happen again. I immediately flashed back to stock tmo windows and the touchscreen would work so long as I did not try and put the phone on standby or wake the phone using the end key. If the phone went to standby on its own, the touchscreen would not work either. I changed the settings so that the phone would not go into standby at all. I then learned that locking the phone from the windows menu and allowing it to go to standby that way somehow averted the touchscreen problem. After 2 days, the problem seemed to resolve itself, almost completely. If I try and wake it using the end key, the touchscreen still wont work, but every other button on wake works. Also, putting it in standby with the end key seemed to not cause the problem any longer.
I dont know if the issue varies per person, but what worked for me was going to stock windows for a couple of days, then starting over with android. I guess it depends on how far along the problem has progressed.

Look at my thread in my Sig about the Unresponsive Screen Solved. This sounds exactly as that. And there are various workaround solutions through out the post.

Power button not working

Hi guys.
My Galaxy Note 3 power button has just completely stopped working. Is there a setting that turns off the power button functionality that I might have accidentally pressed?
Cheers.
Edit: I should elaborate here. The phone is switched on, everything works as normal but no matter how many times I try it, the power button just not do anything (holding it down, pressing different areas)

Did you try a battery reset? With the phone off, can you get into either Download or Recovery mode? That would eliminate the possibility of an OS issue.

I kind of scared to turn the thing off in case I can't switch it back on. I'll try it though.
Edit: It's dead. Taken the battery but can't switch back on now. What a joke.

Bad luck brian i feel sorry for you

I know I kind of expect this bad luck these days after having two faulty Nexus 7's. My Galaxy S2 power button is still going strong after 2 and a half years but the Note 3 lasts 7 hours

It's a dud mate. Faulty unit.
Just send it back and get it replaced.

Just send it for replacement. There's a reason phones come with a warranty that covers manufacturer defects. Whining about it to strangers in the forum is not going to fix it for you.

I was posting to see if any one else had the same problem or if it was a setting I'd missed. Arsehole.
Cheers everyone else I'll replace it tomorrow.

This is exactly the sort of thing that makes me worry about voiding my warranty. Decisions, decisions....

Yeah this is definitely the least friendly of all the Android forums. Sorry to hear you have a dud unit mate. Get it replaced.

My power button is not working to turn the screen off. Long press works to bring up the power down menu or to do a hard shut down. It works to turn back on though. Seems to happen after I plug it into the wall charger. Restoring a nandroid backup fixes the issue.
Not sure if it's related but my PC's USB crashed after trying to plug the phone in and use USB 3.0 to transfer files. I had to refresh my W8 PC to get the USB working again.
I have the Sprint version, rooted and running JellyBomb.

I have the same problem. my power button is done for. whenever i need to start it. I plug it in and go into recovery and reboot from there. I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenoffpro&hl=en for screen timeout and lock. And you can also get exposed and gravity box and there is a status bar tweak to double tap the status bar to lock screen (put phone to sleep).

I tried everything then found the solution on another website
My note 3 has been with me for almost 2 years now and it's power button stopped working about 2-3 months ago. Until now I avoided draining the battery below 2% and was fine but just today I dropped my phone and it shut down. I knew that my power button didn't work because of hardware problems so a soft reset didn't work for me. What I found however is that if your power button is dead you can just very quickly remove and re-insert your battery and your samsung device (I have no idea if this works on other brands) automatically boots itself. I'll give the link too incase I wasn't clear enough and I hope this helps people who shared my worries.

One most probable cause is smudges/sweat.
Wipe your screen clean & dry the let see if the problem occurs.
Another probability is damaged Home Button.

Looks like home button issue. Make sure its not partially jammed in somehow. Could be an issue under the home button inside the case....

i have done factory reset, wipe cache,screen cleaning..

The above posts are probably right suggesting a broken Home Button. You can try to disable the physical home button and install an on-screen navigation bar.

i took it to the technical service. lets see what is the result and i will write down the info here.

Solution : I took the device from service. They changed the charge socket,home button and i have got my device back, no problem.
So as a result it's hardware problem.
Thanks for helps

Glad it got fixed pretty quickly for you

Home button

Anyone replaced home button (fingerprint scanner)... My button is dead and in ebay you can order one for 9.99$ ...

Are you sure that the button is actually dead? I've read of a lot of people having the issue whereby the home button stops responding, and I've actually had it happen on my OPT twice myself and it's not been the hardware...
Two quick things to try (if you haven't already)
1) Try a force reboot of your phone (fixed my issue the first time it happened to me) - by this I mean press and hold the power button for ages, until the phone eventually just powers off immediately (without going through the shutdown process) and then power the phone back on.
2) Not sure if you have rooted your phone, or have a custom recovery (TRWP) but if so try wiping the Cache (not the Dalvic / Art Cache, but the other Cache) and reboot (fixed my issue the second time it happened to me).
Hope this helps.

If you have followed all the software solutions, still under warranty then RMA.
I faced this issue once, fixed it pushing around the sensor with my finger nail I did push really hard until it change to home screen it was 6 or 8 week's ago, haven't failed since

None of above have worked for me. I've a rooted A2005 running unofficial CM 13. A couple of days back it just stopped working. I thought it's a bug in the ROM. Changing and clean flashing the ROMs didn't fix the issue. Then I realized it's something serious as I remembered that it may have got some moisture when it was inside the chest pocket of my shirt and I got sweat due to some physical hardwork. I'm still not sure though as to what caused the problem.
I would really appreciate if somebody comes up with a solution. Yes, pressing hard the home button has not worked for me either.

Touchscreen is going to unresponsive after restarting the phone

Hi,
After restarting my phone, the touchscreen is not working. It's going to unresponsive. Even the power button features (Reboot, shutdown, screenshot..etc) also not working.
I am not able to unlock my mobile also. Touchscreen completely going to an unresponsive state. If we do a hard shutdown (long press on power button) then it's working. Sometimes we have to hard shutdown 2 to 3 times to get a responsive touch screen.
I have the latest firmware installed on my mobile. (WW-16.2017.1912.060)
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

hey i have same problem .. all of sudden touchscreen unresponsive .. sometime few second i can touch it after i lock the screen or restart.
its already 2 day .. do u solve it? care for sharing
covid19, thinking twice go to asus center

I have been facing this issue for a long time. The only workaround I have found is pressing the the power button for 10 sec and entering the password immediately after reboot and not waiting for the screen to go off. Once the screen goes off the, touch stops responding

Tried every possible way ,but got nothing. Its been 3 days of my phones coma condition.You guys just wait for some time,your screen will be comepletely unresponsive.
The only way to solve this problem. That is 'BOYCOTT ASUS'.
