hi all
used this forum for solutions a few times but unfortunately couldnt find one this time so needed to make a thread!
ive just replaced the digitizer on my sisters wildfire s after she cracked it. the touchscreen seemingly works fine, except for the buttons at the bottom (ie home, menu, back and search).
ive had it in bits numerous times, with and without tape on the screen. tried the goldcard routine to apparently calibrate the screen, but nothing seems to be working. the rest of the touch screen seems perfect and accurate... just no buttons at the bottom.
anybody have any ideas?
thanks
liam

Plz Help....
Hi
It sounds then like the touch function of the screen has stopped working.
If you have only had it a month depending on where you got it you may be able to return it.
Sorry about this
Cheers Dave
maybe
seems like that to me too
still i hope i wont need to
anyway thanks
no problem
Anytime
If you have not yet returned it, try taking the screen protector off if you have one on.
My screen stopped responding to touch a while back. When I took the protector off all was fine.
could be it
may be but i am not sure about it i will try it nonetheless
Thanks
screen needs rest ??
nope no use the screens gone crazy i guess
it recognises a few strokes when left for a few hours the goes dead again
maybe it need some rest
On the screen, round the edges make sure there’s no gunk under the gap between the case and screen. You will be surprised what can get under there. Flat Plastic tooth picks are good for clearing it
i am nooob
cant try it
dont really know how to remove the screen guard
cant find the seam
Hi
You might not be a Noob. You can only remove a Screen Guard/Protector if you have actually put one one.
Also i still dont think there is much you can do.
If it does work after a while it is possible that the screen calibration has gone haywire If you get chance to use it try doing that it may help
Cheers Dave
mine to same problem please help
Recently I began to notice a problem with my phone. Whenever I have the keyboard slid out the touch screen is almost non-responsive. So over the past few days I've tried observing what the exact problem is and I think it could be the cable/ribbon that connects the touch screen to the keyboard. I'll have to tilt the screen back and forth before it will actually recognize me touching it. And I've noticed when I rub that ribbon it seems to work. There's also a crease in the ribbon where it folds on it when you close it. I believe this is the problem but I'm not sure and I want any advice/tips I can get. If it is the cable can you order a new one and replace it yourself?
Thanks in advance
Any ideas anyone? I cant get it to half work so I can text and stuff but I have to press it hard and it still wont work at times so something somewhere or another is wrong.

Flash the stock ROM and SPL, and do a warranty exchange. This isn't a device you want to open up unless you really know what you're doing and are certain of the issue. If you really want to give it a go, then just buy a non-functioning unit from eBay to use for parts. They can normally be had for less than $40.
Wow, I cant believe that I finally found someone with the same problem as I have.
At first I thought that it was a software issue and I reloaded the software on my device.
The screen responds to presses with the keyboard in, but extended it doesnt respond and only the external keyboard works.
So to type a nice long sms I would have to start it on my display, flick out the keyboard to carry on and then flick it back in before I could press send or anything.
How frustrating.
But I did a test now and flicking the keyboard out and then slowly slowly pushing it back in I can get to a stage where both the external keyboard and screen responds at the same time again.
Definitely a ribbon problem or something.
Only had this phone for a few months now and if it already doing this then I am not feeling too obtimistic about its future.
Well, time to take it in for a warranty repair. I wonder how much greaf I am in for now.
Time to pull out my awesome trusty Artemis out the cuboard.

I had a friend that had this problem with his TP2 which I've successfully repaired. First thing if you want to do it yourself, go to youtube and look for the Rhodium disassembly video (this will help you a lot). It is not difficult to change any parts in the phone provided that you proceed with caution and take the necessary precautions.
If you are afraid or have never opened up a phone to fix parts, then I would suggest to send it to HTC - this would be devastating if you managed to break up the motherboard by mistake or any other parts in the process of fixing the flex cable.
Tripp --
Did you ever find resolution to your problem? Recently my phone started having the same problem, which I originally thought was related to messing up the calibration file when I put loaded xdandroid GBX0A.
However, it sounds like my problem is pretty similar to yours -- touchscreen works fine when the keyboard is closed, but when it is open it only registers on the bottom of the screen -- which is actually useful in some sense because I can still hit the soft keys in the messaging app and such, but not so useful if you want to scroll using the touch screen. If I play around with the z-hinge a bit, sometimes it starts working -- which sounds like the same thing that you described.
Sorry, I just seen your post but I never fixed mine as I went ahead and bought another phone (Evo) but I did research the problem quite extensively and the problem I believe lies in the ribbon that connects the two halves of the phone. If I remember correctly the motherboard is in the side with the keyboard and that's why when it's slide out, the touch screen won't respond correctly. You can find the part online and replace it yourself. I've taken mine apart and it's not that hard but as said, you need the right tools and to be very careful.
Hi guys
I have tried all the above
Last resort is i got sprite backyup to work
BUT HOW THE HELL DO YOU HIT "NEXT" OR "OK" FROM THE KEYBOARD AS SCREEN DOESNT WORK????
hope you guys can help me
my htc wildfire had an accident resulting in a broken touchscreen (front glass) i bought a new one and i replaced it because i didn't want to spend too much money
now the touchscreen its working cept the top part (where the notification bar is) its unresponsive to touch so i contacted the shop and they said i should do a reflash (which didn't help im currently using cyanogenmod last stable version) or i should find a touchscreen calibration tool to recalibrate my touchscreen which after many hours of searching i was unable to find
now does someone know about such tool or is this a calibration problem or the new touchscreen its also broken ?
any suggestion its appreciated
Putyn
You could give a try with the app in following post of mine

Capacitive Screens do not require calibration..
I had the same problem so I restored it to stock and as it was in warranty period got the touch screen replaced..
Now it is working properly
Hi All,
I have a rooted (boot loader unlocked) HTC Wildfire S Marvel (A510E)
It has a strange problem. The lock screen freezes every time after locking and I have to try about 6 to 7 times to unlock it.
This is Common across all the ROMs that I have tried including stock and many Custom ROMs.
Also, two stripes of portion of the phone's screen i.e., upper side and left side doesn't work at all.. Not even touch.
For ex; I can't type alphabets 'q' and 'a' in qwerty keyboard. However, display is working. not touch.
The warranty of phone is expired and I really want to know if there is any way that I can fix either or both of these problem in home.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Kindly inform me if I posted this question in wrong area as I am totally new to this forum.
The lockscreen 'freeze' generally happens to everyone,even me,when I use the scary governor.It also happens for stock users.Did your screen die due to excess heat at that area I.e.do you use it in extremely hot conditions?
Lock screen > Grounding issue
I bought Wildfire S day before (New but without warrenty) and it was working very good. When i charge it full and then started using it its lock screen in not responding well. After doing 5-6 retries i was on the home page. Opened menu and tried to click on Favourites or Downloaded icons, it not working. Sometime it does but i cant open downloaded apps page. Similarly its back button is totally not working.
I charged it from my other HTC charger and then then problem was over. I worked well. But again after some time same problem started. I have searched over internet and seen similar problem in HTC Sensation for grounding. And there is a way out given too... But no such procedure can be applied to Wildfire S.
Can anyone suggest any solution?
Thnx.. Nope..

Thnx for the reply... Nope.. It started to behave that way after I dropped it once.. I didn't drop it from distance.. It was just a small impact....

Maybe you damaged the digitizer. Search for a new digitizer on net and replace it yourself. You can find guides for it online.

HTC phones have severe problem of screen not responsive when connected to a power source, may it be a USB or a charger. I had that problem before I got my phone serviced. It was completely resolved.
Just use original charger and make sure the power plug you are using has proper wiring. I mean proper earthing.
I faced same problem few months ago,I send it in HTC customer care .they replaced front panel
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda app-developers app
Hello Folks,
This is my first post.
I have a HTC wildfire s a510e with broken screen. I went to a local shop for changing the digitiser.
The problem is I tried a couple of different digitizers but all of them were having the same problem.In all of them the part of the screen above the back button including the button was unresponsive.Whenever pressed harder it worked either as the portion above options button or search button. I tried the calibration process mentioned in one of the posts but it doesn't seems to work.
Please Help me.
Waiting for your reply and sorry if posted in wrong section.
