Incorrect response from touch screen

Hi there!
I have absolutely ridiculous problem with my THD. All of a sudden screen started to act like it is half disabled. In simple words, if a touch some icon on top bar, let's say Start button, click appears on clock. Basically it is looks like touch area displaced by half an inch down. I've tried to calibrate screeen and it seems like it worked for a few minutes and then turns back. I had to hard reset the whole thing and it did not help either. All images, icons, screen items appeared correctly on screen. Bottom menu bar responses correctly though.
I did not drop the phone if it will give a clue.
Anyone knows what the hell is that and how to fix that problem? Please help.
Thank you.

Anyone? Please...

sounds like you need to re align your touch screen. you need to go to Start>Settings>System>Screen then align screen
If you cant get to this then a Hard Reset might be the only way to go

Nothing is working. Now I cannot even get past screen alignment. Looks like it can be a hardware problem.

u may have to hard reset
then after that if it still wont work then u may need a replacement

Yeah. It sound like it is. Jast called HTC support, did hard reset again and after few minutes it is back to that misalignment. Damn...

Connected to ActiveSync and have you got 'My Mobiler' running? I noticed some strange screen behaviour with that on the Device and the host PC.

try pressing both volume keys and tapping the screen at the same time(volup + voldown + tap the screen) --- it will get you to align screen mode if that doesnt work then maybe you have some problems while flashing a rom or something!

I am having the same problem, it started suddenly somedays ago. I realized that when I hard rest it works fine for some time and then slowly left side of the screen stops responding, after a while only right side react to touch so you cannot access START menu nor anything else from the whole screen, just the left corners.Any solution?

Lock screen bug

Hi Folks,
I've found a little bug in the lock screen ... i'm on the new rom, can't verify for the old one.
To reproduce:
Sleep phone, wake up phone and finally on the lock screen, press menu.
TADAA you're dropped straight into the home screen.
Kr,

p13 thats always been like that?? well I could do that on htc before and after the new rom

Same here, no bug, just a way to get rid of the lock screen without whiping the screen

Oh Okay
I didn't know that was normal behavior.
Nice to know, thanks guys!
Kr,
-Kevin

indeed, that is the standard way to unlock android devices. This is exactly the same on the G1 and Magic as well.
it also works when you are on a phone call. When the screen turns off and you need access to the buttons, you press menu and up it comes.

Cool. This is my first android device, since there is no mention of this behavior on the lock screen, i thought it was a bug.
It's nice to know, thanks for the pointer !

Help Please!

My power-button don't work, so I was wondering if anyone could help me to fix this. Maybye someone have a power-button i can buy, or there's a software fix I could use, like i open a program and press lock screen and something like that, because i can't lock the screen and tha makes my battery time very bad.

[Q] S4 lock screen: cannot swipe but can click on items

Hi everyone, first thanks to all the people who are willing to help others with their S4 problems!
I have Telus version of Galaxy S4 and it is basically untouched (i.e. no root no modifications).
I have had a problem with the lock screen for past couple of days and tried searching the forum but could not find any solutions.
The problem is this:
In lockscreen, I cannot swipe to unlock the device from time to time. No matter what I do, pressing power button to get to lock screen again, it just won't respond to my swipe motion to unlock the device. This forces me to hold the power button and then click on restart. For some reason it will responds to me clicking on restart but cannot read my swipe motions.
Does anyone else have any similar problems? If so, any thoughts on the solution?
The annoying thing is I cannot replicate the problem but it will happen once or twice a day.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

Does your touchscreen even work? If not, then you probably got a faulty one.

yep

yes, boot logo plays just fine, cycles through the att logo screen, then goes to the lock display, heres a pic of the lock screen that displays atm, it tells me the date, time, battery level, and notification bar, and thats it, theres no response from touch input, menu and back button work just fine, as well as the power button

Ohh, but that's not the lockscreen.
That's the S-view cover screen.
@DeepankarS knows more about how to solve it.

@Lennyz1988 thank you
@sikboarder Try removing the L1 screw and starting the phone again. Or keep a magnet near you, when this appears, touch the magnet (not a strong one) neat the volume keys and remove it. When this disappears, force stop sec.android.sviewcover from the application manager.
Still if it does not help, try an AOSP rom. Touchwiz has this stupid bug.
