Hear that S/N before HT63XXXXXX have screen alignment problems and was wondering if upgrading it to a newer ROM (like the latest TyTN) ROM would solve this problem?
Can't really seem to draw a conclusive result from the threads posted but would appreciate those who faces/are still facing this problem, could provide their thoughts on this.
Hi, I've got a V1605 with a 628 serial number. Changing to the update from the shipped Vodafone rom and 48 hours later I have not had one single screen alignment issue. My scroll wheel stopped working earlier but a soft reset solved that issue.

Hi there and thanks for your reply. Did you happen to have the screen alignment problem before the update?

Very mildly on this on (my third). Mostly did it when using opera. A tap and hold could be anywhere on the screen. It was also bad whilst charging. Now it seems perfect but I will feedback more after a couple of days more use as it does seem to be something that builds up after hard reset.
thanks for you input. i look forward to your continued help on this matter
Yep, I flashed last night and no screen alignment issues at all today. I was able to reproduce the screen alignment problem before the flash too.
waveydavey ....
Paul here ..
I didn't realise you had any of these problems with your device ....
When did the alignment problems start to affect your device ?
Also ... when I asked you about BT stereo ... I thought you said you were happy ... but following the ROM upgrade you suggested it was 'still' not good.
Are you experiencing problems that you didn't have when you first received the device ?
My biggest issue is the loose stylus .... still being held in by the 'spring' but very little friction anymore ... also sometimes doesn't want to come out unless you rotate in the silo first.
Cheers
Paul.
waveydavey,
which rom version did you update to and do you have a link for it? Did you have to reinstall all your apps?
Does anyone know if HTC has confirmed this problem exists?
Have they determined if its hardware or a software glitch
i just got a Dopod CT9000 with SN HT625XXXXX with the English ROM and so far I have not encountered any screen alignment problem. Some users say the alignment problem is a result that builds up over time so I shall wait and see what happens.
It seems like on my unit the update has fixed it but at the same time hasn't.
Yesterday it lost alignment on the right hand side of the screen. Left was fine but right was 1cm to the left of where it should've been. I realigne the screen and ten minutes later the rigth hand side was 1cm to the right of where it should've been. It might have just got a bit confused but I'll continue to keep an eye on it and report back.
First time since the rom became available as I flashed it as soon as it appeared here.

Phil,
Had this happened after making a lot of calls or anything else that would heat the device up? The hardware aspect of the issue is allegedly that a heating issue causes the screen to become misaligned.

Not really, It was in my pocket while I was shopping when I recieved an email. Checked it and noticed the alignment. Realigned the screen. 10 minutes later and I got another email and it had gone back to the previous alignment.
Heat hasn't affected it in the last few days. An hour and a half on the train surfing using opera full screen every morning and I didn't have any issues even though I could feel it getting hot.
No added software or different use after the initial set up.
I'll keep an eye on it. It could've been "just one of those things" and the fact that it went back to where it had been would back that up. I have had a few problems with the scroll wheel not functioning since the upgrade though. Maybe 2 or 3 times it has just refused to work until a soft reset.
Phil
well so far i have yet ot encounter the problem. everything seems to be ok for me but i have yet to push the device like making long calls or sirfing on it for a long time. will keep on testing and keep you updated.

How were you able to reproduce the screen alignment problem before you flashed your device.
I've called the HTC support in Italy and they told me to send the TyTN back for a swap.
Ciao.
Ever since the recent update, the touch screen seems less sensitive and slightly out of calibration.
anyone know how to re-calibrate the touch screen?

Go to settings, then language and input, then Samsung keyboard settings, then handwriting, then recognition time. This may or may not solve your problem but it's worth a shot!

My issue as of late is that when I click on small links surrounded by other links on a web page using the stylus, an adjacent link often opens. I am using the hover-dot for the stylus, and both it and the tip of the stylus hit the link that I want, but it actuates another one. The work-around is that I have to double-tap-zoom the screen and tap the link I want, then I can zoom back out.
Anyone else having this problem?
JC
I am also using the zoom feature to open the links. It's a bit annoying, but a workaround...for now
Hey, I still am on the very first version of the note firmware because I don't want to screw up s note.
I get the problem you are describing once in a while, specially if the tablet hasn't been rebooted for days. My solution is a simple reboot and then the responsiveness of the touch is perfect again.
Also to mention is another issue which I get after a few days once in a while, the screen resolution all of a sudden seems messed up. The colors turn out weird and u can see definately more pixels. Maybe the display improving system of the note screen gets turned off some how and i get the pure 1280x800 screen. Luckily a reboot also fixes this. Also both issues happen very very rarely, maybe once a week.

I've found mine doing this too, however it's done it twice in the four days I've had it, it's making me think about exchanging and/or sending it back. Mine is an N8000 International 3G one.

I got a new Note 10.1 about a month ago (July 2013) and I believe it already had the updated version. The touch worked perfectly for about two weeks then - bang - can't touch link at all if it's small, can't get right link if they are close... Sometimes I don't know if I'm trying to touch a link that's "grayed out" or if I'm having a touch problem. I've even had to rub at a link to get it to work. But the keyboard and system buttons seem to work fine???????? How bad do dry hands/fingers affect touch?

Hello all, I hope this post can help you with the same or similar problem I had.
My LG gt540 started having a problem 2 months ago, the touchscreen got offset by 2 centimetres(1 inch) verticaly down, this was very annoying specially texting and couldnt access the top panel. Ex: to unlock the phone I had to press 1 inch above the green button.
Sometimes(I dont know why) it went back to normal, but about a week since the problem started it just got permanent, I tried rebooting, taking the battery, etc, nothing worked... Even tried to go to the calibration option but the offset was to much so it said out of range...
Then I read something online about the heat caused touchscreen problems, so I was thinking... hardware dont really like heat, and I always carry my phone on my pocket, the body heat could be damaging the touchscreen, lets try cold, it could solve it, long shot but what do I have to lose?
Left my phone in the freezer for 10 minutes, turned on, and it worked! for 1 month now its back to normal!
Hope it helps you, but try first freezing it powerd off, may be safer.
i have got my phone 2,5 years and i havent got any insue with the touch screen
Hi
My phone started doing the exact same thing a week ago...
This is the only thing I haven't tried, lets see if it works for me....
Thanks
I've had screen calibration problems since i started flashing custom roms.
In my case the screen positions are slightly off at the right side of the screen. When I want to type an "p" i have to touch where the "o" is on a german keyboard.
I'm trying your solution right now.

I have problems for the outer 4 sides.
It's worth to try.
Didn't work for me, it was only fine for 5 minutes....
Also didn't work for me.
Besides, after puting it in the freezer the display protection foil now looks a bit strange.

Hi, sorry for waking this thread up.
I also have the same problem, press 'o' to get 'p'.
I want to ask you guys who already tried this method. Did it work?
It's tempting, but it might be better to know more info.
Thanks.
I first noticed this happening in a YouTube video about the phone, but figured it was just a fluke. I've now begun to notice that I too have problems when tapping items in the upper corners of the phone.
Many times I'll tap a menu item and nothing happens. Even subsequent taps do not always register a press. I'm using stock everything.
Is anyone else experiencing this with their Pro3?
It Is not a problem, you have to be more accurate when you touch the corners!

Mine also has the issue, however, only when I use my thumbs for some reason. When I use my fingers I do not have the problem. If you go into developer options, under input, select show touches. With that setting enabled you can see the touches that the phone actually registers and which ones it misses. If the developer options are not visible to you, go to about phone in the settings menu, and tap build number several times until they become enabled.
i also have this problem BUT ive realized that its caused by my screen protector. Try switching to one that doesn't cover the bezel since those that do, tend not to completely cover the middle and corners of the phone due to the phone's curved glass. that should solve the problem.

I'm just using the factory installed screen protector.
Screen protectors are a nightmare on these things.
Not screen protector
This is not a screen protector issue. Guys, don't go ripping yours off, it doesn't help. I tried before. This is a firmware or panel issue. The company already recognizes this as a previous poster linked to it. I also started a thread about this issue weeks ago.
I also notice this issue on stock and CM.

I think you're right. I updated last night and haven't had any upper corner touch issues. Props for LeEco on fixing it so quickly.
Update: It has been 3 days and I haven't had a single upper corner miss touch since the 20s update. I'm really happy that it got fixed.

Hey y'all,
Picked up a SM-N935L a few weeks ago. Last week, for no reason I can think of, the touchscreen started causing problems.
As of now, a 1 inch swath of the screen on left side doesn't respond to touches unless they are long touches. This is annoying on the homescreen, but IMPOSSIBLE when trying to type on the keyboard as the number key, shift, A, Q, and 1 key barely ever respond to touch.
AT first it was intermittent. Now it's permanent.
The S-Pen works perfectly, even in the affected area of the screen.
I tried flashing the original firmware the phone came with before the OTA, no dice.
Long story short, the phone is now back in it's box and I am back to my old n9005 Note 3.
Has anyone else run into this?
Before someone says that maybe the screen connector is loose on the motherboard, I cracked the phone open (heatgun, etc) and checked that. Not the issue.
I even tried the secret code *#6233*# which allows you to "update" the touchscreen firmware. No difference.
Any thoughts?
you didn't mention the software version you're using.... did you update to the latest OTA for the L version of the Note FE? Google Translation change log
Build Number: N935LKLU3AQG6 Android version: Nougat (Android 7.0)Release date: 2017-08-04
ㆍ Improve the phenomenon that the tone of the song is reduced or silenced in a specific environment
ㆍ Correct the phenomenon that the photo position information is displayed when the camera is shot
ㆍ Intermittently break when touching the upper / lower touch
Build Number: N935KKKU3AQFEAndroid version: Nougat (Android 7.0)Release date: 2017-07-06
ㆍ Apply stabilization code related to camera operation
My bad for.not being specific. Yes I am on QG6. I went back to QFE hoping for a change. No difference.

Try *#2663#, which will update the TS firmware. Used this recently to correct a touch screen reversal (which was a weird experience at first).

Sorry. That's the code I used, not 2633. It didn't help at all.
Have you installed any apps that control screen brightness, remove the brightness slider from quick settings? If yes, uninstall and see if that fixes the issue.
Very late to the party but I'm having the same issue. Tried everything and no luck. The left side of screen not responding unless I use the pen. Stock OS no extra apps installed. Gutted.
I also have this problem..after one month use..right side screen doesnt respon..
Im runing on ARA1 firmware
hi pro, did you fix it, i have same issue
I had the right edge screen problem too. You can use *#0*# to test. Select touch to start the test.
Press 'volume up' button once done.
My problem on the right side and only not responsive to touch only. S pen works fine though.
I went to samsung and they said they had replaced the screen. And it works ! So guys, maybe it's really a hardware problem with the display screen.
Now after 2 month, the problem had resurfaced
I really like this phone and my note 4 previously was great and not having any hard problem.
I'm going to send this again to samsung for repair since it's still under warranty. Hope the problem will diasppear and not repeating again once we warranty expires.
Hello, i am having the same problem. It started about a week ago when the left side of my phone became unresponsive to touch. I have to long press the left side of the screen to register my touch. I tried the "Touch" test at *#0*# and the left side cant be touched. Now the lower and right side of the screen became unresponsive too. Anyone knows how to fix? Using Android 8.0.0 on this Samsung Galaxy note FE
exactly happen to me too...
went to samsung center and replace the screen, under warranty
Same Here
Hi
the same issue started happening to my Note FE yesterday.
have you found a way to fix it? or have you returned the product?
BAD NEWS everyone
Hey y'all,
So I have bad news for you.
The problem is hardware not software. I ended up giving my dad the phone when he went on a business trip to Hong Kong. He's got a guy there that owes me a favor or two so he got the screen replaced. That fixed it immediately.
Sorry for not updating you guys. I ended up just picking up a brand new Note8 back in Nov when I had enough of the touchscreen thing. When my dad finally brought me the FE back with the new screen it worked perfectly.
No software changes at all. Just replaced the screen.
Hi !I am having the same problem here with the right side of the screen.
First it started when the right side started to be less sensitive but then after a while it suddenly stopped working for the touch. The S Pen works ok.
Its really terrible to use it like this. At least if there was an option to squeeze the screen. Where did you guys bought the phone? I am in Europe but i think the company imported it from Saudi Arabia. Dont know if its a regional issue but i am courious. I tried clearing the cache and updating the touch but no difference. Haven`t tried factory reset yet....

I have been using it for about 3 months before it first started to lose its sensitivity and then to not function at all on a 1 cm wide area on the right side. I havent dropped it for this to be an issue and since i already seen other people complaining its definately a manufacturing issue. I have sent it to the service and hope to have an answer and i will update here about it.

Hello, do you know if your phone was imported from Saudi Arabia? It might be a problem with the phones for this market.
Thanks all for your reply. Really its very scary, just brought a new one from Saudi Arabia, where made in Vietnam. Sometimes I feel some lag with back button . But I dont think its common defect, I heard about same problem in Note 8. Those screen curves brought troubles to all of us ,
I installed tempered glass screen protector but it didn't cover the whole screen , anyway I preferred it rather than the normal elastic one.
Exactly the same issue on my FE
Nope. It happened to me as well just this morning. It is exactly as you've described. I did a factory reset but the issue still persists.
