Good evening... Well recently, i bought a Screen Protector from ShieldZone for my hermes. Well I applied it to the screen and so forth to the rest of my device, then i realized the touch screen doesnt work. I take out the battery for a few minutes, and it starts to work, but after a few seconds, it stops working again. Any suggestions?
This happened when i put my first screen protector on too.. What happened is you put the sticker on to tight; there is an equal pressure over the entire screen , so the processor cannot distinguish your pen touch from the rest of the matrix. All you have to do is take the protector off and reapply it with less force and it should work. (It took a few tries on mine to get it right, did the same thing on my wife's Treo 750.)
well,sounds strange,did you align the screen properly??
Im using a not so costly screen-protector on my hermes without a problem.
Probably u may remove the shieldscreen and make sure dat its not a hardware issue,good luck
yeah i took off the screen protector and still i have the same problem. Anyway i can change the pressure settings?
well,Im not sure about pressure settings but you may try re-aligning the screen (in settings) ,it shud help mostly,hope u have warranty which is not void...
I had the phone unlocked, and I put in the latest Cingular OS, even though i am on the TMOBILE Service.
I have the wierdest thing happen this morning!!! I woke up and turned on my phone, and there is a little smudge in the center of it. Almost like there was a air pocket between the protector and the screen, so i took the protector off, and it was still there!!!!!!!!!!!! So, i pressed down on the little spot and it moves around just like an air bubble would. I turned on my phone to see fi there would be any problems and for some ODD reason, everytime i tap the screen it smushes in that spot. It looks like when you press on the lcd screen of your computer and the pixles kinda move around a little!
Was wondering, I have a Cingular 8525 and would this warrant a repair? Meaning, Could I call them up and tell them what happned and they would send me a replacement?
This is really getting frustrating... I had this phone for only 8 days and its already giving me a headache.
Hi,
On my rooted nook touch, sometimes the touch screen stop working.
It appends whatever software i'm using and randomly. Buttons works, page refresh works too and the nook doesn't lag, it's just a touch screen crash...
I tryed to unregister the nook and to update it from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 then root it again but the problem still here.
Do you know a solution for this problem ? each time it's append I must hard reset the device (power + right bottom buttons)... is there a service to restart to enable touch screen again ?
Thanks
Hi, I'm new here ^^.
I bought the nook touch 2 months ago, and it worked perfectly until yesterday. I installed MSN Mercury from the market, I logged on my account, but when I clicked the menu button, the touch screen stopped working and I used adb reboot from my pc to restart it (I didn't know how to hard reset).
It scared me a lot, and I uninstalled that msn when I restarted the nook.
I request a solution for this too, and, do you know a simple MSN that works perfectly on our e-Ink nook?.
PD: Sorry for my bad english ^^u
Same as you.
Just screen is out of response.
Happened both 1.0.0 1.0.1.

Long thread about the subject.
From the thread and running into the issues myself, it seemed to be a sensor/dust issue as the only solution I found working is wiping the screen with a cloth or so. This is kind of sad since I already has a screen protector on it but I guess any bit of dust on the screen could cause the touch function to fail.

I do not have much faith in the dust theory, you'd need some serious dust, like sand, on your screen for the sensor array to even notice it
Remember, it's not a touch sensitive screen like those on phones and pads, but a rather coarse infrared grid "above" your screen.
I've experienced this once myself, and then I simply put the NST away for the night and when I woke up in the morning it was working again which makes me suspect a lockup in the driver,
Had this happen to me. Here is the timeline
1. Girlfriend bought nook for birthday
2. Dropped said nook after 2 months or so
3. Bought refurb off ebay from B&N's ebay account
4. Screen would stop working randomly
5. Contacted support
6. They shipped me a refurb replacement
My second nook wasn't under the extended warranty or even a 30 day warranty. Its a manufacturing issue so they should replace it for free.
Ok, so I had this same problem, and took it to B&N, they said that they hadn't seen that before a gladly replaced it for me. To this day I'm still not sure what caused it, but I know it happened after leaving it in a pretty how car, but not sure if that's linked or not. My current one which I've had for about 5 months hasn't had any problems.
Old thread is Old but I'd gotten mine knocked out of my hands. Screen looks undamaged but the hardware buttons don't appear to do nything other than holding down the n switch to make the glowlight come up. Tried putting it to sleep, plugging it into a computer. Only thing that seems to indicate it isn't a total brick is the glow will come up. Other than that screen has a static of the last book I was reading in coolreader.
Bought the thing for an easter preasent to myself from walmart. Still have the box but it's rooted and til the drop had no problems whatsoever (well problems that weren't due to user error.) Saw a 'leave it overnight' suggestion and am going to ttry that.
Is there anything I can try or is this going to be one of those 'the outside looks fine but the slight bump wiggled something loose that you're going to need to tear the whole thing apart to fix.' things?
Edit: failing that could someone walk me through the button presses/times to press each button to un-root/restore backup using NookManager? I'd be doing that blind as the screen only shows an image from coolreader but I figure better to try taking it back to stock before returning even if nobody looks it over.
Hi All,
Solution for screen as simple as... get tissue, dump it with a bit of water (tap water will do) and clean your screen carefully. Solved Make sure that water gets into corners of screen. There is some kind of filter. It must have connection with top of the screen... some how water do the trick. I was designing custom cover/case for my nook when I discovered it. BTW your finger shod be a bit wet when you use your nook.
Hope it helps!
Thanks

unresponsible touchscreen problem!

The Nook doesn't have a capacitative or resistive touch screen, so having a wet finger is irrelevant. Instead, it uses an infra-red touch screen. Between the screen and the grey plastic bezel, you'll see a transparent lens protecting the IR emitters and receivers used to determine finger position. Reportedly, if that gets dirty, it fails to register finger positions.
Hello peeps,
I had just recently got this phone, its been 2 months exact and yesterday this happened. It was upside down when it rolled over it (was on the road), I was surprised to know that its back merely seems damaged (see pictures to have better idea).
- Speaker seems to be working fine. (SIM working in it!)
- LED indicator is blinking too and working as it should.
- It turns on/off without any problem.
- The power and volume buttons are also working fine.
I had lock screen passcode on so can't access the data, but it connects to computer fine. I wonder if replacing the display and screen digitizer will be the only things I need to make it work.
PS : I had no screen protector/back case or anything on it.
EDIT 1 : Touch is still working. I just somehow like entered the emergency mode and I can hear the dial pad tones.
EDIT 2: Data accessed!!

Solid indeed.

I just disassembled it, apart from one thing everything in there seems intact, it may require soldering.

Don't think a tempered glass would've saved his phone from a truck lol. I'm impressed by how little damage it took actually
Please keep us informed if you find any damage other than the screen and back.
Wow sorry about that but also glad to see how it was able to withstand a beating like that :banghead:
Make a youtube video. It might go viral if you can show it still works ie: sound phone call. You might make enough money to buy a new phone.

If you had usb debugging enabled, you can completely remove the lockscreen and access your data. There is a reddit post detailing how to do it step by step. Please Google because I don't have a bookmark. I did this to my Z3 when i got damaged. If you didn't have USB debugging enabled, you'll have to find some hack to do that before attempting.
Also replacing the screen and maybe the digitizer (if damaged) should get your phone back up and running.

Hey if USB debugging was not enabled, you might have to find a way to do it. And I did try doing some Google search but couldn't come across anything! Really sorry but the thread was on Reddit and you should probably search for it there. I'm not sure of the exact keywords I used!
Touch is still working. I just somehow like entered the emergency mode and I can hear the dial pad tones. I can try entering the pattern now, but I don't remember if I had to like swipe after pressing the power button or double tapping the screen or it was just the code straight away after pressing the power button or tapping the screen, could someone please help me with the two options as how they work and also just send screenshot of the lock screen with pass code on so I have the idea about it and all?
EDIT : @thedisturbedone : I managed to pull the lock away as touch screen is working haha!
Is there anyway possible that I can use it via PC? Asus PC link requires the app running in background. Also anyway possible to backup the contacts now?
@ASUS_Khang : Have a look here.

Hey there, thanks for sharing...been away on Thanksgiving. You want to save your data? Hmm...good question. Here's what I would try to do:
- Contacts should be backed up in Google - so no worries there...you can access via. http://contacts.google.com I think
- Connect the phone to PC, Install ASUS PC Link. You should have the app running on the phone.
- I would then try to drag all the files you need to your computer,
- Or the other thing you can do is if the information is crucial....And I don't promote doing this, and this is not an official ASUS fix...because you will void your warranty..sooo anything issue that happens is on you and ASUS will not help you if something goes wrong...is to root your device, install Titanium Backup, and use that to save all your data (apps and everything) into Google Drive, or Dropbox. Then, you can restore that data back to your phone when it's fixed.
What about micro USB to HDMI and then follow on the big screen what you're doing?
@ASUS_Khang : I wanted to have your attention for the giveaway thing as my story is all posted here. Thanks for the input anyway.

I have recovered the data from the phone itself, the remaining things are notes/contacts which I can't do via connecting the phone to PC now and I had backed up contacts already so no worries.
Haven't read the whole thread, not sure what your plans are, but thought I'd share a recent experience.
My wife knocked her phone off a table at a restaurant a few weeks ago. Landed on the corner when it hit the tile floor. Screen shattered. Was still usable, but bits of glass were flaking off.
I ordered her a new screen & digitizer from amazon. Took about 3 weeks to show up. I replaced it using a plastic spudger tool I had from an old iPhone screen replacement kit, and some patience. The screen replacement kit I ordered came with some double sided tape to reseal everything. Took about 90 minutes to complete as I was taking my time. The replacement went flawlessly and you can't even tell her screen has been replaced. I'd recommend trying that before replacing the phone, unless you want to.

What were your keywords/title?
iPhone screen? Or something like that?
Bumpy!
Bump it up!
I have a Galaxy S5 that belongs to my brother which has a cracked screen. It powers on fine and recently factory resetting itself but can't see the screen. I'm trying to recover photos from the device of my brothers son during the first year of his life. The photos are very important to him and I'm trying my best to recover them.
I'm using MobileEdit Forensics and other recovery software but having problems connecting to the device. I'm thinking it's because of USB debugging isn't enabled. Is there a command of the line code I can run to enable it?
Would replacing the screen be any benefit to me? Am I taking the right approach?
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Do you know if touching any part of the screen has any effect (even of you can't see what touching it does)?
Replacing the screen is an option, but it's an expensive option if there are other things that might/could work instead.
The reason I asked about whether the screen is still responsive is because if it is, you can simply get an MHL adapter from somewhere like ebay and use it to connect your device to a TV so that whatever is on the phone screen (even if you can't see it) will be on the TV screen. Then you can perform the retrieval from the phone by looking at the TV screen.
The MHL adapter I got to use with my phone cost me £5.
The galaxy s5 don't have a digitizer so probably if the screen is dead,then the touch function is too(as I know from my brothers note 3 witch has the same mechanism for the screen).
You said you did a factory reset on the phone.. If you did, wouldn't those pictures be deleted?
A good option is to try Samsung back up (I think it backs up pictures too) or other back up software the phone may have..
Another thing to try is if the phone have adb enabled then you could unlock it by:
Powering it on
Let it auto connect of to a wifi you have already given the password for it when the phone was workings (if WiFi was enabled last time the phone worked)
Log it to Samsung website and apply the'unlock my phone' option
Then connect it to the PC and obtain the pictures...
Tryed to see if the pictures are located in the SD card?
If nothing of this works then the only solutions remaining are repairing the screen or get it to a data recovery company..
Hope I helped you and good luck with it
Uh...The S5 *does* have a digitizer....In exactly the same way that *every* other touchscreen device ever produced does.

It doesn't.. It reads touch events directly from the amoled screen.. The digitizer is just a glass for the s5.. It does nothing, the phone can work too if you just remove the glass and it reads touches normally
The digitizer is the part of the screen that tells the device *where* the screen was touched ie the 'grid reference' of the interaction. If the S5 doesn't have a digitizer, what replaces it...without the digitizer how is the S5 going to know what to do when you touch the glass at a specific point...which app/function is being selected at any given location on the display if the device can't tell the location of the touch?
---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------
The digitizer part of the screen exists...pure and simple. It is usually bonded to the underside of the outer glass panel.
If as you say, the touch works without the glass, then it's built into the amoled display....but it *is* present and a part of the screen, regardless of what part of the screen module it's built into.
That *may* well have implications for the touch functionality.
If it's just the 'backlighting' that has failed, but the touch functionality remains, then connecting the device to a TV via MHL should work.
If the screen is totally dead, an MHL connection will be pointless, and a new screen is probably the only option. But as has already been mentioned, if a factory reset has been performed, the chances are that what you are trying to recover has already been erased.
A few days ago I went to a local phone service place to have the display on my Oneplus 5 replaced, after i dropped amd broke it. They have successfully replaced it, but it doesn't work properly... for instance the two finger media on/off gesture won't work when the screen is closed, AMOLED screen calibration doesn't do anything, and most importantly, moving two or more fingers in a specific way on the screen will make it actually connect the touch points.. I have recorded the issue, here is the video:
link removed as i apparently i can't post any because of my new account..
What might the cause of this issue be? Is the touch screen assembly improperly mounted on or busted? Is there any control unit on the motherboard of the phone that might have gone bad after dropping the phone?
