I have a Desire with a screen that no longer responds 100% correctly to touch input. There is a small patch in the bottom right of the screen which registers movement once pressure is already applied, but fails to respond when touched directly. It's not a particularly big region but is enough to prevent 3 keys registering touch input. Besides using something like swype, does anybody have suggestions to get this working?
Any hardware/software tricks that are likely to help with this?
If the phone isn't rooted and a factory reset does not fix it send it back to htc. Unless the problem is obviously the users fault.

Hi all!
I hope someone could help me,
My Desire Z touchscreen works weird, sometimes it does 2 unusual things:
-sometimes when trying to scroll it will zoom in or out like there is another finger there but there is not. If i run pointer location test, then it shows there is screenpress in the middle, but im not pressing it. the only way to fix it is to turn off the screen then turn back on.
-other times, the problem is similar, about 1/4 of the touchscreen in the middle/horizontal does not recive input. And the whole screen wont recognize touch correctly.
The problem happens mostly -but random- when i play games, or read pdf!
Is this problem related to the digitizer? I have tried more ROMs, the same problem. Not charging, no screen protector on the device, no break on glass.
Thanks in advance
Hi
I bought a new RHOD100 and am running Stock WinMo 6.5. First few days the phone worked beautiful. But about a week of usage landed me in this condition.
The screen only lights up with the keyboard is out and not tilted. Other than that, if it's slid in (portrait mode) or when it is tilted up, the screen freezes to whatever it was like when the keyboard was slid out. The touch functions work, I can hear screen tap sounds, and if I click on the right icon things open and close too, but the display remains frozen until I slide out the keyboard and/or undo the tilt.
Any ideas how to fix this? Is that hardware or software?
I have never dropped it, nor exaggerated the tilting.. Can it be the Flex cable?
Definitely hardware... almost 99.99999999% sure this issue is hardware.
I'm betting it is indeed the flex cable. If you're feeling brave, you can attempt to take the phone apart and see if you can find the issue - keep in mind, this is very delicate and tedious work. Need a steady/careful hand and a lot of space! Good tools help too .

So I have the WI-FI version. Since last night the touchscreen has gone whacky. If I press anywhere on the screen one and a half centimeters from the bottom up, I get multiple touches registered, basically I got these zones, specific zones where this issue occurs, I have not found them all. On these zones, I don't even have to press, the touchscreen is super sensitive there that it detects me from rather high up before I even touch it. In any case, it renders the device unusable for me as I cannot type in portrait mode, and just barely in landscape.
Running stock ROM and rooted kernel with unlocked bootloader.
I basically want to find out if this is some permanent issue that cannot be fixed, or something that can be remedied.
So I'm figuring this really an unfixable hardware issue but I figure I'd before I go get the LG G4
I've tried flashing new roms to see if that would do the trick though I haven't flashed a different firmware yet
I don't see any physical damage to the screen either, and it seems when I lock the phone and unlock the problem temporarily goes away
The touch screen will randomly activate and prevent me clicking items on the screen
Any possible fix on the software side? if not best way to get the hardware fixed? I'm able to fix it myself if possible (like screen replacement)
Hi everyone.
I have recently had my screen replaced. After playing around, i quickly noticed that my keyboard screws up when i start typing.
The faster i type, the worse the problem is.
I checked touch response times and achieves normal times of about 60ms, however, i turned on touch overlay in developer settings and noticed that if i touch opposite sides of the screen quickly (to simulate typing), it would draw lines between the touches as if i was dragging between the two points.
This is what causes my keyboard to do funky stuff and heavily lag when typing fast.
Please note that this never happened before the screen replacement, and a hard reset didnt fix the problem.
Is there any software fix for this, or do i need another screen?
thanks.

I mainly work on iPhones, but it sounds like your digitizer is out of calibration. Don't know if there's a software fix for it, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction. Also I'd take it back to the place you had it repaired and see if they can fix if it's still warrantied.
