So today my touch screen on my HTC Touch Pro 2 just stopped working. It doesn't respond to any touches on it at all. I can use the hardware buttons and the keyboard, but nothing on the touch screen which makes the phone practically useless.
Does anyone know of any settings that may have caused this? I'm hoping I might've mistakenly turned something off that made the entire touch screen shutdown. Doubtful, but worth a shot.
If you aren't already, you should flash a stock ROM to make sure it is the hardware at fault. If it acts this way with a stock ROM, then you have a faulty digitizer. You could either try to replace it yourself, or send it in for repairs or a replacement if you still have warranty remaining.
I am already using the stock ROM
Is that happened due to error on D3D driver?

No, it's happening because of a faulty digitizer as I mentioned above. That needs to be replaced.
Try a hard reset first, it happened to me once.

I just got a desire (used) and the screen is sometimes unresponsive. Every few times, if i touch it, the screen like goes left and right and studders up and down and isnt responsive to any touches unless you reset the phone, or turn the screen off and on a few times.
Then i try to press something, it do another thing and etc. Also phone is heating alot and i think something is wrong.. or maybe i should try to reinstall fw?
Anyone...?
Mine does this screen thing on some rare occasions, the only solution is a reboot.

For me its very often. Im just curious what might.be causing this problem. Can it be hardware or software...

Sounds like a hardware fault.
I don't know if you have warranty since you got the phone second hand, but if you have, you better send it.
You can of course do a hard reset first, just to be sure it's a hardware issue.
settings>sd&phone storage>factory data reset
I have already done hard reset when i bought it..but its the same. So i dont have warranty.what hardware part might be causing this?cause maybe i could still repair it?

Better send it in. It's extremely difficult to replace components on the desire. Even service people do a crappy job of it sometimes.

I will try to look for repair store in my city to ask them if they will be able to fix it and i hope it wont cost me same price that i bought this used phone
Thanks guys for trying to help me.
Hi All
For the last couple of months my desire has had an intermittent problem with the touch screen. All of a sudden it decides you're trying to pull down the "notifications" screen when you're just touching the touch screen, sometimes it also decides you're trying to hold and drag when you're just tapping the screen, sometimes it simply stops responding. These problems are usually solved by tapping the top button and putting the phone on standby then tapping it again and waking it up - although sometimes it then won't let you drag down the screen unlock until you repeat the on/off standby procedure a couple of times. The problem varies on connecting my phone to my computer.
Given that in between these instances the touch screen works as normal I'm guessing it shouldn't be a hardware issue, but the intervals between these problems appear to be getting shorter (either that or I'm just getting more annoyed by it recently). I've had a quick search of the forums and haven't immediately found anyone having this precise problem. Is it likely a question of trying factory reset and if that fails sending it for repair?
Thanks in advance
Similar issues. Don't think this is hardware.

Gotta know more about the phone first. Is there a custom rom? Have you tried flashing to stock?

I'm having same problem, mine started couple weeks after I installed cm7.2, I tried another rom, no luck
Its definitely not software. I've tried froyo, gb stock with s-on and no root. I've been on ics roms cm7 roms but this problem occurs on all. I'm giving mine for service today.

Well since the OP didn't respond here's my suggestions. If you think it's software then just flash to a stock rom. You should find a number of them lying around the forums, and instructions on how to flash. This will mean your phone is unrooted and will need to be rooted, as well as taking care of installing a recovery and etc. This should correct anything wrong with the software.
Otherwise you busted the digitizer, which is actually very cheap to buy on Ebay. You will have to take the phone apart which can be time consuming.

Hello,
Any luck with the Tocuh Input, is your phone back from service? I am also facing the same issue....
I had this problem on my G2 a while back. It was a hardware problem so I ordered a new touchscreen and replaced it myself.

Hello Whiskey_Tango / Others,
Can you please let me know the details of the touchscreen component that you ordered for your G2? My HTC desire Z touch screen has also gone bad (unresponsive at multiple points) and I feel that changing the hardwre should do the trick.
If possible, let me know the touchscreen specs (model / part number) as well as any online website from where I can order it !
Many Thanks !!
From eBay search for HTC g2 digitizer
Be careful to get the one for the vision not for the magic
should be about $20

Thanks for the quick response. Before coming here, I had a mobile service shop take a look at my handset and he had mentioned that for HTC desire z, the "touch screen" comes with the "display" attached to it. Did he meant the digitizer only or (digitzer + LCD screen) or he was simply trying to rip me off ?
I am very sure that there is nothing wrong with the display on my handset, its only the touch functionality that is not working properly.
Which one of the following do I need to search on EBay?
gultek.eu/htc-spare-parts/digitizer-touchpad/desire-z.html
or gultek.eu/genuine-parts/lcd-modules/htc/desire-z-hd3.html
or both?
Thanks again in advance !!
You need just the digitizer, if you're doing it yourself it takes about an hour if you've never done it before, don't buy the lcd if you don't see a flaw in it.
Some people sell the whole front chasis with lcd, digitizer, front bezel all connected for ease of replacement. May be easier but you will only shave of 30min tops and spend 3x as much

yeah this happens to my G2 a lot. I got my phone fixed a while back (2-3 months ago) becuase the colors on my screen were screwed up and the ear piece was broken. i took it in and he replaced a couple of cables. it worked fine but now sometimes the screen is just having a straight up seizure. it flips through pages so fast and it goes from page 1-2 and back and forth and then the virtual keyboard presses multiple keys and just its crazy. i feel like the guy that fixed my phone didnt plug in a cable all the way. but yeah thats my problem. i dropped my phone the other day and ever since my phone hasn't gone into a seizure lol
Hi, did you solve your problem? I have the same with my desire Z. It click alone in several place on my screen.
And I ask me if the problem don't come from the lcd digitizer control instead of the touch screen digitizer

Yes replacing the digitizer did fix my problem. And a year later the replaced digitizer started giving problems. So I ordered 2 extra digitizers off ebay. Both of them turned out to be duds. Surprisingly the second digitizer(which I replaced a year ago) fixed itself.
I think Im having the same problem,
bottom part of screen (including the home, menu, back, search buttons) aren't functioning half the time,
is there any service manual, or link to information as to what I need to tear apart on my DZ?
should this be enough? EBAYLINK
what do I need to replace the digitizer?

But when phone is cold (-20° C) this works fine. What is it, can you help me
change the touchscreen(is cheap kinda 20$)
..
maybe some " spot " from the touch screen is blocked ... maybe due to the " heat " that kinda makes the touchscreen to misbehave.
but first try to reinstall the ROM by wiping all things.
Thank you, I did full wipe and reinstalled Rom, problem is still exist. How can I change touch screen and where to boy it for 20$? If I change touch there will be air gap I think. In my service centre to solve problem I need about 240$
now phone is ok, because im outtdoors where is -25 ' C

Why don't you take it to the HTC repair center. I'm sure they will replace it for free since it's hardware related problem

Are you sure about this? I thought by unlocking the device you lost your warranty (HTC made it pretty hard to ignore), since software can f*ck up the hardware?

i think htc repair centre wont work with my phone cuz of unlocking bootloader. about link... this is only touch screen, ours service centres cant make this job to replace only touch screen. After this zerogap will be lost
Hello ppl I'm acuding today for your wise advices because I dont know what to do, recently the lower corners of my xperia play touch screen are not responding when i try to write messages or selecting something that is in that part of the screen I want to know if this problem is from the touch screen itself or to know if the problem comes from the flex, I send my phone with lots of technicians and 2 out of 4 told me that the flex was the problem and the other 2 told me that the touch was the problem idk what to do x_x
Since you sent your phone to 4 different technicians. I suggest to you into getting a new phone. Your touchscreen is more likely faulty at this point.

Hi,
after I rooted my phone, I realize that touch screen doesnt work. Before this problem I get custom rom 2.3.3 and when I wanted to root it problem appeared. I've tested other roms but this doesn't repair touch screen. In tutorial of rooting Desire Z i had to put file DZ_PC10IMG and start bootloader. At half of the installation my phone turn off, and I dont know why. I tried second time and then no problems appeared. When i turned on my phone touch sreen was dead. I found solutions on forums only for xperia or samsung phones. Is it possible that rooting can broke hardware? Oh ,I also installed CWM Touch Recovery but there my touch screen doesn't work too. I don't have warranty so I want to try repair my fone in home.
Can u help me reapair that?
PS Sorry for my english.
The act of rooting in itself cannot damage your touch screen but i will say its odd for this to happen at the same time you rooted.
You can try a full return to stock if you want to rule out software/firmware problems but it is likely hardware
A new digitizer will be about 20$ and is the most likely issue, could also be main flex cable, about 25$ but less likely to what you describe
Either way the hardware fix takes 30-1hour if you quick but if youve never done this sort of thing expect a couple hours to be safe. It is rather easy and plenty of tutorials
Best of luck to you

i think something went happened with Your hardware..
HI, Today I've changed digitizer and it doesn't help at all. I think it's problem with software. Do you have any idea what can I do?
You can follow a guide to return to stock, all firmware/software that was changed in rooting process would be changed back, this will either confirm or rule out any software/firmware issues
