Hi All,
i have figured something out:
If i charge my MDA PRO and i touch the (RVS) solid body of it my finger gets an energy shock. I Only feel it as the MDA PRO is closed.......weird!
If I open the screen and i touch the body i dont feel it.
More of you people has felt this? (i mean if you are charging the phone and calling with it (so put the phone at your face :S) i dont know if this is normal ????
Ok that was it, just fresh figured it out so i thougth let post it......!
nobody?
What you feel is a slight static charge from the metal casing. I've had a few devices like this. I think its due to the high amount of current/voltage being delivered to the batteries.
No shock, but if you slide your finger on the shell of the device, you can feel enrgey passing through the device which is quite normal.
yeh, i get it all the time with my XDA Exec..... nasty loud snappy static shock. anything we can do to avoid it?
Wear your slippers when if you are walking on a carpeted floor. This is dangerous as it can cause damage to your data on you RAM and ROM if the conditions are right.
ok ok thanks guys so my universal is OK
i thought maybe something wrong!
OK Thanks!
ps is there an way to remove the t-mobile logo at the top (at the shock-plate hehe) without scrathing it...? And has someone done it (is there an picture available how the device looks like then?)
Hi all,
I've now seen two HTC Touch devices with the same "smudge" on the screen. It appears in the centre, underneath the top layer of screen, and is roughly 3cm long. It's almost as if dust has collected in the middle of the screen or something.
I'd have thought nothing of it until I saw another device with the same thing. Has anyone else experienced this? It's not always visible - with the screen off, or in direct sunlight you can see it, but otherwise it's not noticeable.
Anyone?
I have the same **** right in the center of my device
i've the same probleme on my screen
it's very boring
After how long did you begin to see this problem? I have only had my Touch a short amount of time and haven't had this issue but its not great that many people are dealing with it.
Damn, I hope this doesn't turn into another "my black Trinity is peeling" issue that affects all or most Touch users. Why don't you guys run a poll to get an idea how wide spread this is? Perhaps HTC needs to be made aware of this if it's not just some isolated defects.

I was one of the few that never had paint peeling issue on my black Trinity so hopefully I can dodge this smudge issue too....
I think u will find that it is an inherent part of the hard touch screen. Device off on all touches should display what some call a blur. I have to put mine at an angle and I can see a small 1cm max. aboration. otherwise quite unnoticeable.
Had mine almost 8 weeks and not any hint of any smudge / blur or anything unusual
Guess what, I also have this blur at the center of my screen, I thought nothing of it at first because it is barely noticable and second I thought that maybe I accidently pressed on the screen to hard at one point while carrying in my pocket; However now I am more concerned due to the fact that others have this same issue...??
Same problem with mine.
to all that have the problem. Do you have an original Touch ore a branded version (XDA, MDA etc.)?
Well, i have that little piece of htc touch since about one week, the branded version XDA. don´t got that smudge on my screen, and i hope i never will. ... otherwise i will get it back to the shop and try to get a new one ... have got the experience that O2 (i´m having the htc from that privider in Germany) turned out to be quite nice in such things.
just something that you migh like to consider. Coming from unverified source:

...Unfortunately, my Touch has developed a patch of fog or dust under the screen, and HTC have confirmed they've had several reported cases of this. They were very helpful on the phone, though, and sound like they're going to be good about getting me a replacement quickly
can someone post a screenshot, that the other users
know, what you are talking about?
thanxs in advance

i see a big patch while starting the device where it says "smart mobility" but after that never noticed it :-/
i will try to take a pic of it ........
are you talking about that submarine or something below smart mobility?

yeah yeah its kinda submarine .....is it same with ur mobile ?? i guess the background they have used is not perfect black :-/
I'll try to get a photo of it tonight. It's basically a smudge that's 2cm high, and half a centimetre wide, right in the centre of the display. It's beneath the external covering on the screen, and almost looks like a neatly arranged collection of dust right in the middle.
I may have someone who can look into this for me, so I'll investigate and post here if anything turns up. It does sound like this is a problem with the device though, and is more widespread than I expected.

Yeah but I only noticed it when soft resetting and when someone posted it here so I looked below the smart mobility text carefully.. haven't noticed it otherwise..
Smudge
I had this problem just days after getting my Touch. I sent it back and got another... I have a smudge again... even though it isnt as bad. I will contact HTC again and see if I can send it back again. Not sure I will have a Touch after sending this one back.
Hi, I've now used the Nuxus One for a few days and I'm pretty happy with it and all it's fancy fetures.
The phone works flawlessly and the only minor issue I'm willing to report is the fact that when the phone is lying on the table the touchscreen doesn't respond as quickly as it does when holding it in hand..
I've also noticed that if you touch the shell of the phone with a finger while trying to use the touchscreen, everything goes back to normal.
Is it a flaw only present in mine or is it an issue that involves the capacitive touch screen of the Nexus?
Video Proof
This is the video I've taken with my other phone so it would me much clearer what I mean..
The quality is not great but I hope it will be explicative enough..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXPpyGwuSzM
mine work correctly, try it on another table
I've tried it on different surfaces but the result it's the same..
Problem is that it doesn't always do it, so it's difficult to judge if a surface works better than an other.
I've called HTC support and together with them I've done some tests, like letting another person use it the same way, but nothing changes.
I've also done a hard reset and nothing has changed so I think I will have to send it in hoping they will fix it..
I envy you in the US where you can just ask for a replacement...

Hi,
I don't think so, since I've now tried it in different environments and by different people...
This is very weired..and annoying..
I've had my Nexus One for over a month, but I recall having the same issue one day early on.
Similarly, I've had days where I can't operate the touchpad on my notebook computer because my fingers were dried out from handling solvents.
I have an associate that has a similar issue when the phone is in a leather holster case. She has to take the phone out on occasion to operate it, most while driving.
havent had any issues. Call them for a replacement
I think I will do so!
The problem is minor but sometimes can be a real nuisance..
Looks like screen isn't grounded properly.
Yes, I think so too. It must be something electrical. When I keep it in hand or touch it, the static electricity must not influence it, but it does so if I try using it lying on its own.
I've taken another video changing the surface on which I use it on..
Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ-nS_h5Pqs
I'm glad to see you're still investigating. Because the problem is so repeatable, and the fact that its not a common complaint, I'd conclude theres a something wrong with your phone.
One thing I'd try is to remove the battery for 8hrs (overnight) and see if that make a difference. I've worked with a lot of electronic devices that behave badly after receiving a static discharge. Sometimes leaving it sit without power helps the static dissipate.
But the fact that it works while on the laptop would indicate a poor ground from the touchscreen circuit to the chassis of the phone, as the proximity of the laptop changes the capacitance of the internal circuit enough to overcome the lack of effect that the chassis alone needs to provide.
hehe I have to investigate to be sure this is a bug relative to my device so that when I will send it in for repair they will have to find a way to solve it and not just pretend it doesn't exist...
try pressing with all skin and not with your nail. It needs heat to work.

No, it doesn't. To prove it, hold a metal spoon and slide it across your screen. Mine works.
this was a common problem on the G1 and the way the capacitive screen was designed. In order for it to be functioning completely, HTC told users that he needed to have it in his hand or at least a finger or two touching the phone. HTC said that it simulated a circuit (the hand on the phone made a complete circuit while just touching it left the circuit incomplete) I have noticed the same thing on the N1... it works great in my hand on if i am touching the sides with a finger and scrolling or using it, but if i just lay it down and try to scroll/touch with 1 finger it becomes much less responsive, the same way the G1 would.
i will see if i can find the exact thread over in the G1 forums where all this is posted.
It makes sense, but then, why others work? mmm...

The only thing I found while googling is that you need some humidity in the air for it to work effectively. I'm really not sure if that applies to this specific design though.
I've never had an issue with using the screen on a table, so this is probably isolated, I'd give htc a call and ask for repairs.
Edit: I just tried for the hell of it doing the pinky touch on the frame, and the soft buttons became much more responsive. Hmm
Since about 2 months, my HTC HD2 sometimes runs into a strange behavior.
It's like some invisible fingers are touching the screen very quickly, triggering apps, menus, and sometimes calling people!
The only way to stop that is to restart the phone (but when the HD2 starts to behave that way, it's difficult to restart it, as these "invisible fingers" are still competing with MY fingers!).
I don't know what caused the problem in the first place, and I don't know what triggers the problem when it happens.
Is my HD2 out of order?
Thanks

It could be that your touchscreen is too sensitive and your sweat from your fingers is triggering it; Did you try cleaning the screen, your hands and using a screen protector?
your digitizer is going to die very soon
By "digitizer", you mean the touch glass?
Did it happened to you before?
Why so many of your phones had their glasses cracked?
Thanks

It's very probable to happen...
Try to massage the screen around the corners especially above the buttons.
There is some kind of "glue" to prevent contact with metal but if its old or used it could make this problem.
Maby you can trigger it or at least find the point where to press to make it stop.
=> using a heating fan (warm not hot!) to vaporize water could help too maby. No warranty here!
dertester123 you may have found the real cause of the problem, but I'll have to test more before I can confirm.
Cheers.

i have been having the same problem lately and i must say, i'm pretty sure it's about the sweaty fingers! i have read on other sites that the capacitive (?) screen is too sensitive and that many are experiencing these problems, especially during summer!

Just place some waterdrops on the display or use it with fingers that you put some lotion on....
Problem is when it gets under the display, but thats rather uncommon i hope;D
I case its just just sweaty fingers, what are pants for?

are you running android ics? In ics they changed the input slightly i heard, and maby its not ported correctly...
When using another music app or switching to generally other apps while music plays everything is okay?
I dont think its a virus or something, most of them want to spy or change userdata and not annoy you
I thought I had found the cause of my problem, but I can't confirm it, as this problem hasn't appeared since the middle of May, when I followed dertester12's advice to massage the screen on the corners!
But I noticed a spot in the middle of my touch screen where the "glass" seems to "touch" or to be glued to something underneath it. This spot is till here today, but despite of that, the problem is not occuring now. I'll try to attach photos of that.
So to sum it up, I'm still not sure about what caused the problem...

Well the touchscreen must be isolated from the display. Therefore they put some blue glue at the area over the buttons where the HTC logo is. For me I used alcohol to clean the touchscreen as I replaced it and had the problem that when pressure was added the layer of glue was to thin to isolate and gave me fake inputs.
You can test by massaging this area.
Also the contacts on the backside of the screen must be isolated to the housing and the screen. I could think that when you soldered the stock isolation thinned out too..
Last but not least touchscreen, display and housing must be grounded correctly. Therefore all parts are wrapped in metallic foil at the edges... To connect them..
As the touch screen is very sensitive to even little currents its often hard to find the problem as it could also be a totally different cause.
All the above mentioned points should be checked and are relatively easy to fix. But it needs total disassembly what - especially to old devices- has a risk.
Risks are:
That damn flex cables are old and tend to break. The buttons have small tapes on top that come off easily and never go back again... And many more things that break when dis- and reassembled to often.
Sometimes it's cheaper to sell defect HD2 and buy new/used one..
On eBay you often get very good prices for defective HD2..

Hey everyone,
For those of you who has the incredibly annoying touchscreen issue with your Xperia Z1.
I've discovered that Sony X-Reality engine for mobile is the cause of the problem.
How to fix:
1)Go to Settings
2)Go to Display
3)Uncheck X-Reality for mobile
Done
This worked for me so far (I have C6903)
so please test it on your handset to see if it works for you too.
This look like the people saying that Cursor Speed set up to low speed fix the touch screen..LOL..
X-Reality is an image enhancement so I really don't know what it have to do with the touch screen issue, like the Cursor Speed.
I think is placebo only.
Also, when X-Reality was on the screen could not register more than 7 touches at once.
After I turned X-Reality off it was able to register up to 10 touches like it was supposed to.
x-fake is sh*t anyways. turn it off and you actually get better image quality instead of the more than amoled saturation anyways

Man you are a life saver! My phone was almost ridiculous to use. I thought I needed to take the anti shatter film off and put a glass protector on because it may have been the issue. Why in the world would Sony let x reality mess with the screen sensitivity?
Thank you so much!

touchscreen issue?! Hmm my works okay so far...it works like the sh**y screen from my xj so i havent recognized any issues...
I had touch issue too. Phone works fine but after 15-20 min it gets heated up and ghost touch happens everywhere and i wont be able to use the phone at all. After fighting with them regarding this for a month they accpted that its a hardware issue and replaced my phone.
i give it a try .. i will come back with opinions after few days. thanks
This works for me also, wierd stuff....
Will try more later, but already with that X-reality turned off it feels much more responsive.
Might be placebo though, it probably is since X-reality shouldn't have ANYTHING impacting the actual screen touch
I unchecked xreality as soon as I got the phone, it didn't stop me getting the touch screen issue.
I have however not experienced it on kitkat yet but that might be because I use the phone less than before.

This does not work and does nothing for you, if you believe this then you are stupid. I have tried the usual tests and it's exactly the same as before.

Because it didn't work for your phone doesn't mean it won't work for everybody. And you have no right to tell people who are trying to fix their phone "stupid." Sony's kernel has problems regarding the screen and unless you replace the kernel you'll still get issues. I created this account just to let people know that this exists, and I'm glad that it actually worked for some people. For me, even after the X-Reality is off I get a couple of misplaced touches when the screen is on for over 40 mins, but as far as I've seen it is only fixable by root methods or replacing the kernel. When X-Reality was on I was not able to touch the screen properly 5-10 minutes after it was on.
As you can see from the quote below it actually works for some of us Xperia Z1 users. If it doesn't work for you try replacing the kernel. If that doesn't work too, you have to face that your phone is defected and you have a hardware problem. No one is to blame but Sony in this case.

Explain more about fixing it with a new kernel, never heard about that
I finally found the fix. The phone develops an issue over time. I bet any of you with the issue did not have a problem until later on which is my case. Yes it has something to do with the sensitivity but the major culprit is something that gets scratched up super easy.
Yes, the anti shatter film. I removed mine two days ago and used a zenus oleophobic screen protector. It has not felt this good since it was new.
My opinion the deep scratches in the anti shatter film allow dirt and sweat to get in and makes the phone go crazy. Most of my touch screen problems happened when I was typing. They never happened when I was scrolling. This is the fix for sure. Also x reality does seem to help until I did the swap.

The kernel's primary function is to manage the computer's hardware and resources and allow other programs to run and use these resources. Which means that the kernel enables the OS to communicate with the processor, memory, and IO devices including the touchscreen. If the kernel doesn't perceive the input coming from the hardware correctly, issues like the touchscreen issue in this case would appear.
I haven't tried it myself since the X-Reality fix -mostly- did it for me, but you can replace the stock kernel with another one to see if the kernel has the fault or not. You need an unlocked bootloader for it. Doomkernel is one of the popular xperia kernels since it provides many functionalities. Link below.

Hi all,
Posting this in the hope that people are still looking for some answers for this problem. I have a Z1 and for me it's not the anti shatter film ( removed it for this reason ), x reality, any settings in any menu and a glass or plastic screen protector does not help and modifying the clearpad.idc file only relieves it slightly. I have tried custom kernels and different rom's to no avail. But I have found an interesting quirk - the problem will ALWAYS appear while playing games and just as an experiment I installed Smart Screen. I set it to turn off / on ONLY the screen when I swipe a finger over the proximity sensor ( turned off phone locking ). While playing games and the problem appears I flick my thumb over the sensor to quickly turn screen off and on and the problem disappears ( until the next time ). While I'm not a programmer in any way it almost seems to me like a screen controller / buffer issue.
Since I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere I hope that it might provide an insight for someone skilled that could possibly design a fix.
