My mytouch slide screen freezes...its the touch screen because whenever i try to touch, it doesnt work. I used the trackball to scroll and it worked so that means the whole screen isnt stuck...
About two weeks ago it would freeze for a bout a few minutes and start working again and when i slid open the keyboard the touch screen would work.
I dont think the touchscreen is completely broken because once every hour or two itd start working again for about a minute, but itd freeze up again right after...
Does anyone know why my touch screen isnt working sometimes or how to fix it? And btw my myTouch slide is rooted and i have cyanogenmod...could that be why?

I doubt it.
But if you think that there's a chance that it is, make a nandroid backup of your phone and try flashing one of the other ROMs.
Sounds more like hardware to me though... But I'm also not an expert. ;D
it could be a hardware issue
wuddyou mean hardware?
And it might be that i dropped it a few times? Maybe something came loose on the inside im not sure..
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I would get a replacement

there is a separate section for the MT3G Slide
Ohk, sorry,
Can a mod please move this to the correct section, and/or can somebody help me with this?
Thanks again in advanced!!
Moving to Slide.
Sounds like hardware issues (maybe with the ribbon cable from the top screen to the bottom keyboard).
Call tmobile and get it replaced, it's still under warranty (unless your water stickers are pink).

It could be that, or it could be a simple software issue. He could try rooting the phone and flashing cm6 or cr_mod or something, it could be system file corruption, but I guess if he's unrooted and under warranty why not just get it replaced, it'd be less work
I think its more software than hardware.. here's the thing. I bought it from some guy from craigslist.. it DID work but a while after it started doing this.. I'm using a g2 on a family plan.. ccan I still call tmobile n tell em my phone isn't working and will they send me a new one even though I did not buy it from them?

Doubtful since you didn't buy the phone from them. If you want to remain stock, I would root and then flash the slide stock nandroid backup (there's a thread with the file, just type that in the search bar). That *should* fix it if it's a software issue.
*After flashing the stock nandroid backup you'll be unrooted again. It will be like it was the first time it was booted.
I've recently lost the ability to pull down the notification bar in portrait mode. In landscape it works. I can get it to come down in portrait by pressing the menu button then the notification icon, when it's down using this method I can raise it up or down unless I take it all the way to the top. I updated to Fresh 3.5.0.1 and the new radios/wimax/pri/nv the night before. The pull down function worked that night and next morning. I dont' think the update caused this problem since I have reflashed the ROM to a previous version of Fresh and had same issue. I have also restored a backup of a different ROM. Just thought I'd mention that incase someone else has had a similar scenario.
I did drop my phone before this happened but don't no if this was the cause since I only checked to see if the screen was cracked after dropping and don't remember exactly when the bar stopped pulling down, I have no freaking idea.
It's unnerving to have the damn thing not working..
All other aspects of the touch screen seems to work. I downloaded a multi point tester from the market and the touch sensor(s?) seems a little off at the top as to how far up it will follow my finger compared to the bottom. Caused from dropping?
My knowledge of the makings behind the screen are nill so I haven't a clue to what dropping my phone could do to the touch screen things.
Btw has anyone tried to revert back to a pre 3.7 rom with the new radio/wimax/pri/nv and have their phone run like crap? Mine sure did.
Edit: nvm, found this "you cannot run any rom but 3.70 or aosp with pri 1.90"
Any suggestions?
Sounds like It's broken. Try flashing the stock with root 3.70 Rom and wipe everything. I'm going with it needs to be replaced.

does anyone know of the mechanics of the phone as to what may have happened to the touch screen when I dropped, I do think this was the cause of my delimma. did something maybe break or somethign shift? any ideas?
No one has taken one apart yet? How disappointing!
I suppose everyone is still in the 1yr warranty from HTC and not ready to go there.
You touch sensors are messed up. If you have TEP insurance, sprint will repair it free.

This happened to me after my gf thre my phone on the ground. The Sprint Reps won't know what happened, and they'll replace it for free. Make sure it's a new phone instead of refurbished since, refurbished have a tendency of doing the same thing after some time.
Guess it's time to unroot and return for repairs, thanks
My girlfriends rooted dinc is going nuts.. the screen will shift from the home screen to the far left and stick there, plus if ur typing a message the keyboard will freeze up and cant do anything, have to do a batt pull. if your on internet or lookign to crop a picture, when u pinch the screen to zoom in, it sticks and then will not un pinch. then freezes up again.. really gets agravating. My dinc (knck on wood) has never had this problem and i had it set up just like hers is.. i have tried to c if diff roms may help and still same problems occur. any ideas on what i can do to resolve this?
Clean the screen and trackpad?

Pons is right, typically that is a condition caused by a dirty trackball.
Everytime i slide the keyboard open to type a message on my mts and slide it back when im done the screen (im not sure how to describe it but ill do my best) switches positions but responds as if everything was normal. For example the menu at the top that you pull down will be in the middle of the screen and the bottom will be at the top.
Does anyone have a solution? I can post pictures if needed, but it would be difficult at the moment.

Sounds like software, what rom are you using? It could be hardware, but sounds like software. Pics would be nice. In the meantime, try wiping and reflashing your current rom.

I think i kno exactly what ur talking about. (click here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849722 This has happened to me and many other people. Im pretty sure the problem is with your flex cable. The best thing to do is get a warrantry exchange
Yea I've tried reflashing new roms or restoring and niether worked! I read through the thread you posted and that seems exactly what is happening to me. Did they make you pay for the warranty replacement or was it covered? If they made you pay ill prolly just hold out and get a new phone this summer.

No it was covered by 1 year factory warranty. If i were you though, id unroot the phone asap then get your replacement. If you dont, your screen will eventually go black like mines did and you won't be able to unroot (though they did accept it because they didnt know it was rooted because the screen was totally black)
yeah, I have the same issue and I'm exchanging the phone soon.. however, I'm worried because my screen randomly works and I'm concerned that T-mo will see that I've rooted if the display randomly functions upon arrival. Does anyone know how to do a factory nandroid flash (I have the original file taken from falken98) without using the screen for too long? I know that clockwork might require actual user input on the phone side, so I was wondering if anybody could point me to a method that would require only the computer. What I'll try to do is set the phone to mount USB and do everything via AndroidSDK, hopefully the phone will randomly function for just enough time to allow me to do that
I'm having this problem as well... looks like a call to 611
Ok so I realize that this is almost positively a hardware issue, however I just wanted you guys' opinion. So its happened 1 or 2 times before but a simple reboot has fixed it usually, until today when it has gotten really bad all of a sudden. The issue is that randomly, my phone will act like it is being touched on the screen and will either select something or not let me touch what I'm trying to touch. In fact as I'm typing this with the phone's keyboard my phone keeps thinking I'm touching the discard button (which I'm not, obviously) And I've noticed that its always in the bottom left corner of the screen in portrait mode. This is causing me to sometimes not be able to move icons or unlock the phone or scroll through pages because the phone thinks I'm like multi touching the screen in the corner. This happened for a while earlier this week until I pulled the battery. Then this morning it got terrible enough that I could barely use my phone at all even after multiple reboots and fixing permissions. I even went so far as odining back to stock EC05 and OTA updating to EL30, from EG22. ( haven't had time to update to an official build until now. ) again it obviously isn't a software issue but I don't know what I should do, like get a new epic (which I really don't want to) even though this hasn't been a problem until very recently and I don't remember anything damaging my phone. Anyways just thought I'd share my problem with you guys to get any suggestions. And sorry for how long the post is.

I have had this happen... wasn't a hardware issue for me, but it may be for you... I fixed it by turning off the screen (locking the phone) and cleaning the screen off thoroughly.... it fixed the issue... it may not fix it for you though... hopefully its that easy... for me it was some dirt or something on the screen making it "think" I was touching that spot when I wasn't... hope that's all it is for you...

Out of curiosity does this only occur while charging or always?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It happens always. On and off the charger. And I don't think its that easy as I had a screen protector on it and I thought it could be something like dirt under the screen protector causing it to freak out but I took off the protector and its still happening. Looks like I need a replacement... ):
