This morning, my touch screen suddenly stopped working. Hardware keys are still working but device is not responding when the screen is touched. Already tried a hard reset but no success, now I am stuck at the align display screen. Also can no longer get to the bootmenu, so can't reflash my device! Any suggestions on what's wrong or how this can be fixed? Thanks for any help!!!!
I'm curious
Didn't you see any spots (like oil spots on the water) to the touch screen ?
I had the same problem .I replaced the touch screen and the phone is working again .
No, nothing, was working fine at night, when i woke up just randomly stopped working. The display is not cracked or anything, so wondering whether a screen replacement will do the trick? ALso strange that I can no longer get to the bootscreen to enter HardSPL...
Had the same problem, the issue (with mine anyhow) was the digitizer, which is an overlay that sits on top of the actual LCD screen to give it touch capability....
good post here

I had a similar problem,
To get past the Align screen I had to apply pressure to the top of the screen opposite side of front facing camera - then use the screen as normal
I reflashed the original rom (manually getting to bootloader) - it worked for a bit but ended up sending is back to 02 for repair.
All they did apparently, was to reflash the ROM again and its been working since.
Had the same problem a couple of times a while ago, when i was trying out WM6.5.
All buttons worked but not the touch screen. Never really found out exactly what the problem was, but the first time I managed to get it working again by resetting the alignment:
While gps button pressed (under green button), press center D-pad button this will bring you to alignment screen.
The other time the "alignment trick" didn't work, but i got it working again, after flashing the original ROM couple of times. (And doing hard reset between each time)
I think I used this ROM
You say you can't get to the boot menu, do you run hard-SPL?
most likely its an hardware issue - had this one too, of course out of nowhere!
flash with original rom and if you cannot align screen (as the hardware seems to be broken) send it in for repair. it will be under guarantee, if screen isnt broken.
I had similar problem, I passed the alignment but i had a huge offset in the touch.
I replaced the touch screen and it solved the problem.
You can find it in ebay for 1 US $.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for all the help guys!!! I do run hard-SPL and have flashed many ROMS - just don't know why it won't enter the bootscreen anymore when I reset the device and press the camera button. Did manage to upload original ROM again by using activesync, now trying to restore original hard-SPL so I can send off the device for repair.
Hi, i had also the same problem, i find a threat in the internet... try to push the upper corners on the device with your fingers and then tab on the screen to see if the problem solved.
I had the same issue.
Its more than likely your digitizer. I tried flashing 100 different roms but always stuck at the align screen stage.
I actually have the barely used digitizer if anyone wants it (for a few dollars of course hehe) My mainboard died a couple of weeks after i installed the digitizer.
needless to say i moved away from the ****ty build quality of HTC to the MUCH better build quality of the iPhone.
Hi there,
Just wanted to run this issue past you guys with my htc tattoo. Basically, sometimes my touch screen just doesn't respond to touch input at all, the phone still woks using the buttons but that's all. its random as to when it does it and it can go a week or so working fine.
I've tried re calibrating it (when its working) but the problem still comes back. I didn wonder if the screen was faulty, but its not all the time?
Its still on the original (orange)rom, ive never put an unofficial rom on it.
Could it be a loose connection inside the phone,ive no other screen issues.
I have reset the phone back to factory defaults before but this doesn't stop the issue from coming back
Any help/advice would be great
Regards, Chris
Hello everyone.
I have a two year old MT4G that have been working well until recently. The touchscreen become unresponsive occasionally. I have to hit the power button to power off the screen and then turn it on again in order for the touchscreen to work again.
I tried reinstall CM 7.2.0 but the problem persists. What can i do to fix it? Otherwise, the phone is perfectly fine. I would hate to throw this phone away because of this problem.
I really need your help on this issue.I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
up
Hello, so I am attempting to repair a Samsung Galaxy S4 ATT i337, the phone was dropped and the screen cracked. I have tried with two different screens/touch digitizer assemblies to repair the phone. Everything on the phone works expect the touch now. The screen comes on, the home/back/etc buttons work, sound works etc. I have attempted cache clearing, full factory resets etc. Nothing has worked. Anyone have any ideas for me to how I can get this phone to work again.
My I9505 does not respond to touch after waking up from stand-by. My screen was damaged so I replaced it with an original Samsung deep-black screen. When the phone boots up and it first gets into android it works perfectly (touch is working), but when it goes to stand-by after the initial boot and it wakes up again, either by getting a phone call/Whatsapp/etc or by physically pressing the power- or homebutton, the touchscreen doesn't respond to anything. The phone itself works perfectly otherwise, responding to all hardware buttons and running as usual in the background (getting messages, notifications etc.).
The weird thing is: I have the spare S4 from my brother, when I put this new screen on that phone the touch keeps working, and when I put the (cracked but working) screen of that phone on mine it also works. So it seems like the combination of my mainboard with the new screen is somehow not working, but all parts separately work great.
I was initially running CM 11, today I installed CM 13, hoping the issue would be solved with newer software. This fixed nothing though.
I have worked at Teleplan for 3 years, fixing hundreds of I9505's, but I never encountered this before.
Currently the device is running with:
Clockworkmod recovery v6.0.4.7
Android 6.0.1 CM optimizedCM-13.0-20161224-Stable
Kernel: 3.4.113-B—B-PWR-Core-AOSP-v1.6
To be clear: While in recovery mode touch always works, when getting into CM after booting touch works. After the first stand-by touch completely stops working. The new screen itself works perfectly with another mainboard and my own mainboard works perfectly with another screen.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem?
Before doing the above:
1. Update your recovery
2. Try stock kernel.
There are a great deal of people that encountered other issues after updating the touch firmware.
