Hi All,
I have the CDMA version of the Rhodium and happen to be in Europe right now. After a few calls to Verizon I have been using voice and data successfully for the past few days.
Last night after dinner however, I realized my phone appeared frozen and unresponsive via the touch screen. I powered down the phone using the hangup/power button and powered it back on. Touch screen unresponsive. I Soft-Reset and still same problem. I re-flashed the ROM provided by verizon (Since I couldn't get the send/hangup & power keys to do a hard-reset) and still nothing.
I am fairly certain this was not exposed to any water damage. All keyboard and hard-buttons still remain responsive. Anything I can do to try and resolve this?
BTW: The stickers inside are red--they have been red since probably a week after getting the phone but everything has functioned fine for months -- I blame humidity on the red-sticker part.
Any thoughts here on resolving lack of response from Rhodium Touch Screen?
Thanks in advance.

my tp2 touch screen is not responding suddenly!!! the problem started only after i answered some call through the screen slider, however, the touch screen is not responding to my fingers ever since !!!!
now i'm operating the phone only through the buttons !! but as if it is not touch screen!!
anyone have a clue about what the problem can be?? please help me. my device runs wm 6.5 and this is the first time to have this problem, i did soft reset many times but no imrovment!!
I had SOD this early morning and it was my first, do you guys think there is a relation between these events???
I have the same problem.
Just happened this morning.
I was able to use my mobiler to access the screen.
Tried several hard resets. No luck.
Tried re-installing energy Rom (4.1)
Then tried the new Energy Rom (4.11) still no luck.
But then I got the big idea to go back to the stock ROM. Now I cannot use the on screen prompts to access "my mobiler"
Anybody have any suggestions or is it back to AT&T for a new phone?
so whe you back to the stock rom, did u get ur screen working again??
No. no workey
Now that stock rom is on. I keep going back to the "Sim Card Changed" screen. I can not tap "cancel" or "Next". I can use the hard buttons so I am able to get to the phone and then use keyboard to dial.
Still no touch screen. And no work around with keyboard to get to screen. need a "Tab" button. then might be okay.
this sucks.
Just a quick bump before I go to AT&t in the morning.
Try running task 29 and then flash back to a stock.
And have you tried taking your sim card out of you're phone? Maybe that will avoid the message.
i'm buying a black berry
Does your screen look as if an oily residue is under the touch screen part?
My screen stopped responding a few weeks after the appearance of the 'oil' and Vodafone swapped it with no problems. It seems like a fairly common problem
yes, I've got that oily spot and somehow i managed to relief the problem only for minutes when i raised the digitizer carefuly which got me the screen working for few minutes untill it went unresponsive again after while. I'm looking forward to do alcohol swab to this oily spot and will see weather this will solve the problem..
Hi folks, I've lurked here for quite a while and gotten some invaluable info; so first off thanks for all of the contributions from the gurus here!
Now, I have a pretty strange issue that I haven't been able to find an answer on anywhere. I'm hoping that someone can help me sort this.
The background story:
My wife has a MyTouch 3G Slide that I bought for her back in July. Last week she managed to drop it in some water. It DID NOT get fully submerged since the water was very shallow. However, it did get a slight amount of intrusion. She pulled the battery in a relatively quick amount of time and we let it sit in a bowl of rice to dry out for a couple days.
The current deal:
When I felt the phone was sufficiently dried after a few days, I fired it up. It took a very long time to get out of the MyTouch splash screen and loaded noticeably slower than normal. Once in, the phone functioned perfectly normal. Absolutely no issues at all with any functionality once you get past the security pattern.
However, whenever you put the phone to sleep, it does some funky stuff. The screen goes black for a second and then comes back on, ready for you to swipe down and then enter the security pattern again. Then it will go black again. Then it comes back on. It just continues to do this, never stopping. Sometimes it will go to the security pattern screen too.
So I figured this may have been some hardware issue since it was acting like someone was just repeatedly pressing the power button. First I wanted to try a simple reboot though. Upon rebooting, the phone would not get past the splash screen. It just froze there.
I pulled the phone apart to see if maybe there was some corrosion on the PCB from the water intrusion. Everything looked fine, but while I was in I did a little wipe-down with some alcohol, then I put it back together. After multiple attempts, I was able to get it to boot again. But the boot process was still VERY slow. Occasionally, it would boot into safe mode as well. But when it booted normally, everything would always function great once logged into the phone. This convinced me that it wasn't a hardware problem since the phone would not cut into sleep mode or anything when logged in. It worked perfectly fine. So I figured that maybe there was some sort of corruption that occurred in the software.
So I tried a hard reset. Didn't fix it.
Then I figured that maybe I needed to do a reflash. So I rooted the phone since the water plunge voided the warranty anyways. Once rooted, I flashed TeamFenix 1.7.1 successfully.
But the phone still only fully boots intermittently, and the boot process is still slow. It also has the same problem in sleep mode which is killing the battery fast since the screen is pretty much constantly on. But once in, the flashed ROM works perfectly just like the stock ROM.
Video of the condition:
Since I'm new, I'm not allowed to put any links in my post. But if you type in the string below after the YouTube url, you'll see a quick video I posted of the condition.

So it seems that there is some crazy issue only upon bootup and when the phone is put to sleep. Can anything be done to fix this? Is there a way to locate and fix corrupted software? Any and all help is appreciated!
Sorry for the self bump. Any devs out there have any suggestions? I gotta get this thing sorted.
If its happening on both stock and teamfenix, I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue. Flashing a rom completely replaces the software, so it doesn't sound like its that.

It actually seems like a problem in the power button. Did you check the contacts for the power button? Repeatedly pressing the power button will first lock it initially and dim the screen. Press again, then it gives you the chance to unlock. Press again and it goes back to sleep. Wash rinse repeat...
Yes, I understand. But if it were an issue with the power button, when you logged into the phone, it would randomly put itself to sleep. It doesn't do that, it functions perfectly normal with no errors whatsoever when you are logged into the phone. This problem is only exhibited in sleep mode which would rule out a hardware issue with the power button.
Recently, my touchscreen has been either registering random presses about 2/3 of the way up the screen, not registering touches at all, or registering double touches wherever I touch. Before I bring this in, any ideas on something to try? I cannot remember anything that would have caused it like drops or water damage.
Note: My phone is rooted, but I have tried different roms and kernels to make sure that wasn't the issue.
menu from the home screen...settings...language and keyboard...touch input...text input...calibration tool.
You can download Dotty from the market, not the game one. That will let you know exactly where the problem area(s) is(are). The right edge of my screen messed with me for some time before finally not working at all. It would cause all sorts of funky keyboard mistypes, repeated letters and such. Sent it to HTC last thursday, they replaced the screen and I should have it back by the 20th. Covered by warranty so no charge too! I believe my digitizer went bad?
Could also just be a widget causing the problem as I've heard they can somehow screw with the touch input. Faulty digitzers don't seem to be too common...
I should have mentioned that I did the screen calibration, but thanks for that tip. Well I used Dotty and Screen Test and they both confirmed the issue, so I sent it in. Thanks for the help.
If started reading comics on my nexus 7 2013 32Gb with perfect viewer recently. And twice today after reading for an extended time (over an hour)the touch Screen stopped responding. Everything else seemed to work but not the touch screen. Holding down the power button and rebooting has it working again.
Anyone else have this issue or should I send it in for repair?
I'm still all factory.
Is this the same? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497017&highlight=freeze
No, I don't think so
Mine stops completely has not come back after 5 minutes I have touch trace on so I can see when I touch the screen normally. It can go to lock screen and still have no input. Never happened before now even though I have used it extensively at other times. But this is the first time I've had only one program running for over an hour with minimal touch input.
Yesterday suddenly my phone just deny to work with touch screen. I try hard reset with update.zip. I try clear data with button combination. I wonder what can be the cause? Is there anyone with the same problem? I wonder if i change the touch screen what will happen? Because the screen is not broken, i didnt hit the phone. The touch stopped just when it was with screen off. I hit the power button to wake it up, and then cant swipe.
Yes unfotunately mine as well. It happened 1 year ago, touchscreen used to work randomly. So I sent it back to China, but it was working perfectly.
After getting it back it worked for 1 month, and since impossible to do anything. Without touchscreen no TWRP, no backup possible, no flash.
It's a brick now and it is no guaranteed anymore. I lost my money my time and my nerves.
So sorry for you but I don't think you'll manage to fix it. I think it's an hardware issue.
You can try use OTG cable and a mouse.
Mine touchscreen have an row in the middle, with about 1 centimeter that don't recognize the touch, all the rest work perfect. With a mouse, work all.
Mine stopped working one morning. I left the phone on the bedside table and the next morning the touch screen didn’t work..that’s all…the screen is fine, I didn’t have any accident with it...
It was 4 months ago.. I tried everything I could to revive the phone, but I couldn’t.. so I bought a new phone, from different brand obviously
Good luck with yours!
