Hi,
sometimes the touchscreen of my defy stops working (but the phone is not frozen)
and the only way to fix it is to lock/unlock the screen...
does anyone have the same problem (and can help me)?
thanks
P.S
i've had the problem both with stock rom (2.2) and with cyanogenmod rc 1.5
When this happens, do the 4 buttons below your display still give you haptic feedback (little vibration) or do they react not at all?
Also, does this only happen when there's the normal launcher/standby screen active or when there's an other app active too ?
Did you undervolt ?
Edit: Also, this seems to be a hardware problem which seems to be well known in a certain German android forum but I cannot find much about it in here. In short, the digitizer unit seems to be broken for some people and locking/unlocking helps because it disconnects and connects power for the digitizer. The people there fixed the problem by replacing the digitizer (which isn't easy at all!).
It would be nice to have someone from XDA who had this problem before too, to confirm this problem!
First of all, thank you for the answer
When I have the problem, 4 buttons stop working too.
It usually happens after a period of stand-by, i don't undervolt or have some other application running than the launcher (ADWlauncher).
I bought the phone one week ago, if it is an HW problem, i can't repair it by myself...
I'd recommend to wait and see whether xda has other suggestions for you and if not, just check the Motorola hotline and ask whether they know something and if they do change it for free.
Also, what you describe fits perfectly to what I've read elsewhere (don't know whether I'm allowed to post a link here or if it were useful at all because it is in German). So it sounds like your digitizer could really be defect.
ok, even if i hope to solve the problem by myself...
News: They've changed the touch screen, but the problem is still present...
Can it be a sw problem??
Keep sending it back, they will replace it in the end.

the whole phone?
Yes, the whole phone. They have two year warranties, but don't put up or make do, you should have a phone that works right

I use to get that problem on stock and some versions of CM.
Was definitely a software problem for me, havent had that problem since I'm on nightlies.

After two years of use my Desire HD has developed some strange problems after I dropped it. The volume rocker does not work, the WiFi and bluetooth dont work and finally the strangest problem, that the keyboard does not come on when you want to input text for any App. The screen and touch input work without fault, scolling and selecting icons without problem. Making phone calls and internet connection seems to be OK as well.
I suspect I have damaged the motherboard or some other hardware, so before I buy a new phone I was wondering if anyone else had any of these problems and if so was it easily fixed.
Cheers

i knw this may sound strange but try flashing another ROM first,worth giving a try..
I did as you advised, which fixed the keyboard problem. The other faults are still evident so I guess I have damaged some hardware or cable. At least I can now use the phone to text message.
I will have to have someone take a look at the inside of the phone. Checked a diss amble video out and it looks complicated.

Hello,
Recently my phone get stuck a lot, when i am chatting via whatsapp for 5 min,
I am getting an the error messege that we all know ("[Force close] [Wait]"),
and the notifications bar disappear,
and then the only thing i can do is to lock and unlock him,
and if i want to do something, i have to reboot him.
i have tried lots of ROMs, and it's still kept happening.
so i think that thi is a hardware problem.
currently i know nothing about the phone hardware, there is anything that i can do alone, or buy new hardware and install it by my self ?
or i should send it for fix by professionals?
thanks
Anyone ?

It's probably cheaper, but if you mess it up, you're screwed.
Have you tried different kernels? Maybe start with Dommkernel for GB which is know to be very stable.
Still sounds like its more likely to be a software issue.
If not then i am not sure what you need to replace or if there are any replacement-parts for it.
I am currently using DooMKerneL and AuroraPlay.
yesterday, i have locked the phone, and i tried to power on the screen and the screen, was off for an hour and half, so i am pretty sure it's a hardware problem.
the issue is that i dont know what part of the hardware i need to replace.
my thoughts it may be the power button and the CPU or chipset,
are they easy to replace and where i can buy them or even better parts that will upgrade the perfomance of the phone ?
i have tried to flash the stock rom via fllashtool, and the problem with the screen kept happening.
can someone tell me what is the problem and how i can solve it ?
Thanks for trying helping me
I wouldn't waste your money on a power button, that's not the problem. Also, I don't really think you can upgrade the phone. It'd require other drivers & stuff. You can find parts here. Got the link in this thread.
There might be a guide here.
Hi, Im new to the forum but used roms for another device in the past.
I wasnt able to find information regarding to this trough days, my phone touchscreen stops working randomly on stock rom [15.1.c.1.17], have anyone had this problem? Is it sw or hw related?
Thanks, phone is awesome when the ts works but this is driving me crazy... thanks
If you haven't modify the software then it must be hardware related.
What modifications did you do? Did it have the problem from the start(when you bought it)?

If it doesn't happen under specific conditions (for instance, while playing the game, or during the call), it is most likely hardware related, my best bet is that screen digitizer is either faulty or not connected properly to the motherboard. Have you dropped/spilled something on your phone? If not, you should return your phone for a warranty repair.
Its randomly occuring, its fixed after reboot or it will work itself again after a while, sometimes a couple of minutes others a couple hours, phone is new, bough on jan 17. Havent dropped it or spilled anything on it... problem is I updated from stock rom from the provider to an official by sony and dont have a backup of it :/.
Update to the newest version ends in 2.8 that's the newest one see if that helps

Hi everyone,
TL;DR: I have an issue with the touchscreen of my Find 7 qhd (x9076), while on any other ROM than stock it my touchscreen glitches or something.
After installing a custom Rom, like PA, Dirty unicorns, CM, Nameless or any other available for this device (I believe I've tried all of them). The device works just like it should, nothing wrong with the touchscreen. But after like half a day, it starts to 'glitch'. Sensitivity is very low, when I press here it detects a press somewhere else.
I've got a temporary solution which is wiping the cache in recovery, then it works for a short period of time, but then it starts gliching again..
On stock rom the issue doesn't exists, but I realy do want to use a custom one.
Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Or maybe someone who has a solution?
Thanks in advance!
P.s every install is a full wipe, tried multiple recoveries, non-unified
I've read that the touchscreen fixes implemented by Oppo only work on ColorOS even though ROM makers have already implemented the fixes into the Roms. I'm not sure why, though

Hmm that's unfortunate, but it seems to me that I am one of a few people having trouble with this? Why don't other x9076 users have this problem?

Try to flash back stock recovery then flash COS 1.20 in systembase, then upgrade to COS 1.25, Then upgrade to 2.0 or above. Then flash custom recovery and rom again. This is the step you will not have problem in custom Rom. I am 100% sure.

I have the same problem, and I'm running Stock OS.
v2.1.4i Beta
This is how I bought the phone, interesting that it reads Beta...
I've updated to the latest firmware and still having touch screen sensitivity issues.
Someone has got too have some advise.... Oppoooooo.....
TouchScreen Auto Test - FAIL
I did the TouchScreen Auto Test and showed FAIL. Has anyone else shown this error?
Hi, I am having exactly same touch screen problem with custom roms, have tried both Omni and crDroid.
Is there a solution for this? I didn't have this problem in COS before.
What's the auto test?
I‘m on COS 2.1.5I and sensitivity works ok so far. I did have auto brightness problems but xposed and gravitybox has helped me adjust a lot of that out. Now it doesn‘t over dim in low light.
Auto test in COS is ok, I only had this problem in custom Roms, COS worked smoothly,so I reckon it's could be driver issue in custom Rom, maybe there are new fix for some panels are not included in custom Rom.
I never had any problems with touchscreen on find 7 until now. I have been extremely satisfied with this device until now. I have the find 7 9076.
There is a lengthy discussion of this touchscreen problem on the oppo forums.
My opinion is, it has nothing to do with the rom or firmware. It is a physical problem caused by heat. Once overheated, the digitizer gets somehow damaged.
I left my phone on a table in direct sunlight for hours while working on my lawnmower. I noticed it got very hot to touch. Ever since then my touchscreen has problems where there were no problems for 2 years prior. Dead spots, phantom touches and behaves sluggish in certain spots. Upper screen in portrait.
I tried wiping and reinstalling. Nothing works to fix this.
I even tried sealing it in a ziplock bag and freezing it. This actually works but its only temporary. The digitizer got damaged from heat. There is no "software" fix.
The only solution I can see is to physically replace the digitizer. This is a difficult thing to do but can be done.
I am considering replacing replacing the entire screen along with the digitizer as this is much easier but the problem is getting the high res replacement. Most after market screens are not equal to oppo's. The cost of OEM is too high.
Shame because this problem makes me now shy away from oppo devices.
Okay,
I opened up the phone.
Set to try and pry off/seperate the digitizer and replace with new one.
Decided to try something first.
Unplugged the digitizer and held power button (to release any stored up energy in the phone). Resnapped in digitizer cable to connector.
Reassembled the phone.
Put battery back in. Rebooted.
Sure enough, its all working. The full touchscreen is working with no dead spots or glitches.
For how long? Who knows?
Keeping this thing out of the heat.
Started using Cyanogenmod with my Z1 compact, with the original rom I had no trouble with the touchscreen but with CM there are now some problems.
Sometimes the screen is not reacting or the screen is doing stuff that I did not want to do. When typing messages a lot this whole issue is getting out of hand, because the screen is sometimes selecting randomly characters or just not reacting when I want to type.
Screen on and off helps sometimes. But that cannot be the solution :/ Any ideas how to get rid of this problem?
I have the same Problem. Im also on CM11 M12. Thought it might be a Hardware Problem but good to know, that im not alone with that. I did not experience this with stock Rom too. Would be interesting if this is a known Problem.

I dont think that could be a hardware problem, as you said on original rom everything is fine.

As I see the bug is there since 3 months: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5689
Nobody is working on this issue :crying: How can they ignore such a big bug?
Probably it would be smart if other people also would open a new ticket there about this issue with their .log so this stuff gets attention.
As for me the problems are the most common when humidity is rather high. So everytime after taking a shower it is impossible for me to use the phone without these annoying Touchscreen issues. Before i flashed cm i never had this problem, i used the phone in the rain without problems. So i think it may be, that the Touchscreen is just not calibrated correctly and it is a lot more sensitive towards external influences as i mentioned before.
Is there a good Rom, thats not based on cyanogenmod? I thought i would wait for good 5.0 Roms before flashing my phone again, but this really annoyes me.

I rarely have this problem on stock 4.4.4 rom. So it's not strictly an CM bug. I think it has something to do with the drivers or something regarding the touch software implementation.
