Hi All,
My diamond screen suddenly stopped responding. The screen calibration is also not working. I tried a hard reset and after that, it stopped at the screen 'Tap the screen to setup your windows phone'. I am not even able to do that. Any help is appreciable. Thanks in advance.

Try re-flashing a rom, or maybe your touch screen (digitizer) needs replacing, if you do this yourself i would recommend buying the digitizer and lcd together as one, it will make a whole lot easier trust me lol. The lcd screen is easy to break.
Had this problem, too, but since I couldn't get back to stock SPL at that time I put my Diamond into a shelf for about 2 days.
When I then tried to get back to stock SPL the screen suddenly responded again.
So, try to take off the battery for a long time (more than a day) and hope it recovers.
Didn't have the problem again.
Change the Touch Screen

I had a similar problem solved with changing the touch screen since the phone was under warranty I have to revert to the stock SPL and stock ROM before I gave it for service. If your phone is not under warranty you can buy the touch screen from ebay.com with a manual and all required instruments for replacing the same.
This happened to me because I was talking to someone over an hour in a humid place which caused sweat to get into the phone through the speakers.

Solution
Okay, I've just had this problem with an HTC Touch, and I think this works with any HTC that has a "digitizer" rather than an all-in-one touchscreen (I think newer phones have digitisers).
I'm not sure if this will always work, but I've just done it - sometimes the inactive touch screen is "broken" because the layers are stuck together (so the phone can't tell where the touch is, hence unresponsive). With mine, I looked at the screen side on and could see a kind of "oily" patch in the light.
The solution is to get masking/gaffa tape - the very sticky brown one. Stick it down on the screen/digitizer and then keep pulling it off - this pulls the layers from each other. I kept repeating this lots before it worked - and in the end I pulled the top layer completely off (I think you should pull from the top of the phone, as the layers need to be attached at the bottom of the screen/digitizer). Once it pulled away, I gently lay it back down (after panicking!!) and hey presto it started working again.
Good luck!

Thanks alot the method really worked , i really owe you dude thanks again
Putting the phone in the fridge makes screen work!
I know this is an old thread but why does putting the phone in the fridge for a few minutes make the touch screen work? Even if I put it out of a moving car and it cools down, then it works for a bit.
Anyone know why this is and how I can fix the phone permanently?
Hello everyone
I am sorry if I am posting in a wrong section, but I just wanted to write up my experience in case it helps someone.
Let me first say what a wonderful forum this is. I have used it a lot and it has helped me solve android issues always.
I have a htc desire and a few days ago it fell from my shirt pocket, straight in a bucket which had dirty water in it. I immediately took it out and removed the battery straight away. I let it dry for couple of hours and when I turned it on again, the booting took forever. When it finally booted, it froze at the lock screen and was saying "connect your charger" also the touchscreen was non responsive. For the next two days I was like a madman all over the forums trying to find a solution. I thought that if I used the RUU I would bring it back to stock and everything would be fine. I installed the RUU. I installed fine both from the pc and from a goldcard, but it was the same " stuck at lockscreen and non responsive". I tried everything I could come across the forums, but since my phone was S-ON, there wasn't much to do. I then installed the gingerbread RUU update ..that too installed fine...but again same situation. I was hopeless, I then knew it was a hardware problem, not software. Then I decided, what the heck, its broken, so I might as well try the last thing and disassemble the phone and see what parts I could change. After I took it apart, I saw in couple of places a sort of greenish stuff around the touchscreen connector and around that place since only one indicator was showing water damage, that is, the one close to the connector and close to the bottom of the back of the phone. So I took come cotton and 70% alcohol and cleaned all that greenish stuff away. I left it dry couple of minutes and assembled the phone. when I turned it on ....SURPRISE :laugh: it was working perfect.
So if someone finds themselves in a similar situation, consider this like a last option, and you might get lucky like I did.
I hope no one ever needs to read this thread, but if you do , I hope it helps. thanks
I was at a party and had my phone in my clothes since i didn' have a pocket for it..
It was working fine, came to hotel few hours later and i saw that on my lower part off my screen had a different colour, liiiiiiittle darker just like fog. But it worked perfect...
Then i was going to sleep, i rebootet my phone and had it on charge, the problem was that my phone didn't start again...
I had it on charge the entire night without any red or green lamps showing on.. I came home yesterday and since then i tried with rice, and i tried have it in the fridge and i tried charge it through PC and regular... Nothing is working.... What can be wrong? And what should i do....???
My HTC ONE X is rooted with this rom: Android Revolution HD 18.1
Edit:
I can not do ANYTHING, not even vol- +power...
I turned in my phone today and they said that it is PROBABLY moist that has been casing this.... Fkk, i don't like that...
Well, i was hoping that someone here would answer me and maybe know a trick but like i said i turned it in for service and hopefully i will have it back before the end of March .... Untill then i am using one of my VERY old abd broken Nokia N85, it's really sucky to downgrade like that, damn! Hahaha:cyclops:
Probably a hardware fault my friend. Its strange that a moist would penetrate the tiny little gaps on the corner. I did accidentally splash water to my phone but nothing happened and still working fine till now.:good:

Thank you for your answer!! =)
Well, since i turned it in i hope that you are right...
My question is then... i have rooted my phone and using custom rom.. Is is still on warranty??
Hey.. I flashed cm12 unofficial ROM 2-3 months ago on my lg d855.. There weren't any major bugs.. But recently I noticed that sometimes when I press the power button to unlock it .. The touch screen seems to stop working.. This happens only on the lock screen... I Also tried holding the power button and try to tap the "power off / reboot" buttons.. It doesn't work too.. But.. The weird part is..when I sort of slap the screen it starts to work again .. My question is .. Is it a ROM bug? Or is it a hardware issue.. If its a software issue.. Then why does it start working when I slap it.. And if its a hardware issue.. Why does it only occur on the lock screen? Please help.. Thanks

I haven't had this problem on the D851, but I would try updating your device to the newest version of Cyanogenmod.
Also, back when I had the G2 I went through this problem a lot and actually had about five of them because they were under warranty. The problem was that the seal for the screen would come undone, and it's hard to notice since the screen is literally the entire front of the phone. When this seal broke, water would seep in and cause chaos with the screen. Wouldn't work in certain parts and so much more. I haven't had this happen on the G3, but my seal has broken and I can see it, so it's only a matter of time before water gets in there (or until I get the screen replaced). I've always had this problem with LGs they're just so damn good that I live with it. I'd bet this is what's going on if it's not the hardware.

Absolutely... I can see... Whenever I press on the edges on any of the sides.. It sort of gets pushed in.. It looks like its not glued properly.. Its a bummer as the "screen" is the reason y I bought this.. From ur experience , does it stop working completely at some point?

If you can push it in then the seal is definitely broken.
On my G2, when in a moist and humid environment condensation would form on the inside of the device, but it was nothing too big and went away after a while. However, when too much fluid built up in the inside it began typing on its own. Furthermore, it got to the point where certain parts of the screen were unresponsive. This is why I had about five of them because over time it did get bad.
Although if there is water in the device rice usually absorbs it. Get a ziplock bag and fill it with rice. Take your battery, sim card, and sd card out, then place the phone in the bag full of rice. Seal it and shake it up a bit and let it sit over night. Keep the back cover off as well. If this is an option. I understand you might need your phone, but if you get a time where about eight hours are free I would highly recommend this. I have no idea how it works, but it takes the moisture out of the phone. I've done this with waterlogged phones, my G2, etc.
When I did that on the G2 it fixed my problems until moisture got back in there. I don't take care of my phones too well, so moisture got back in fast. Try this out and if it works just avoid keeping your phone in moist places (like playing music in shower, being on it while raining, etc.). If this fixes the problem it should hold you off until you can get the screen resealed or a new screen.
If it is with the hardware and its still under warranty I would get a replacement. I would revert to the stock ROM (if you made a backup) or find one and make sure it's updated. I would then do a full unroot, and attempt to make it so they cannot tell it was rooted. I would then attempt to get the replacement. Rooting voids the warranty, but if you unrooted I doubt they could tell. Furthermore, if you have insurance on the phone this could also work.
Edit: If you try the rice then try to replace the screen I would ensure that the current screen works properly after the rice. Make sure all the moisture is out before you replace the screen that way no moisture is trapped in there.

First of all.. Thank you soo much.. Thank you for the time.u put into these posts.. It has really helped me.out a lot.. I can totally see how the rice method could work.. But it has not got to the point where its un-usable.. As I said, its only in the lock screen.. It has never ever occurred during actually using it.. I haven't found any dead spots.. Nothing.. If I use the rice trick to take out the moisture,, and if I can use the same screen (which should still work) can I just take it out and glue it in to place? What type of adhesive should be good... I'm asking this because I got this from abroad.. And it's not an international warranty. So there's no way I'm getting a warranty replacement .. So ive gotta make with what I have.. But this is very sad though, specially from such a big company.. I mean gluing a screen is not that hard.. I played loads.. Lol.. I really hope hot glue works lol..

Well then I'd try to fix it before it does get unstable! Thing with the lock screen is you're swiping and the moisture defuses the area you're touching which could cause problems. Definitely try the rice! However, I wouldn't recommend gluing it yourself. I imagine it requires some sort of water and heat resistant glue to be effective, and on top of that a professional application. Hot glue definitely won't work! I imagine you want something that looks nice and I can only seeing that being messy and leaving residue. Furthermore, I'm not entirely sure on what lies beneath the screen and if disturbing that could cause further problems. However, I understand you're probably planning on it so please watch a guide such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcoEQVtUwYQ to see how it's done and what you need. There seems to be a lot more to it than just placing some glue on the screen and pressing it back down.
I'm sure you can get a replacement kit with instructions and all the required tools to do it properly for not too steep of a price. Check this out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...46?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item54198f441a
Or you could take it to a professional like those at Broke Ass Phone: http://www.brokeassphone.com/smartphone-repair-selection/lg-smartphone-repair/lg-g3/ The price is steep, but it's professionally done and comes with a warranty.
Good luck to you!

Hi, ItsJacobee,
Sorry for breaking in, I have the same issue with 2000ftt, and I did tried "rice trick" but no luck. I think the screen is perfectly fitted in the case, when I press the edges, the feel is solid and no room for further pressing in.
My device is D855, I flashed many custom roms (resurrectionremix, CM12, Nameless ROM, CloudyG3 2.1), the mentioned issue happens to many of them but never happened in CloudyG3 & stock rom.
Any idea?
Best regards.

Yes, it is under warranty, I am going to restore stock ROM and take it to service center. But I don't know how to trigger the issue (touch screen no response at lock screen while using power button to wake up), in stock rom and cloudyG3, this problem never happen.

Thanks for reminding. I restored the phone to stock with the downloaded .TOT file, then go to service center.
I can't trigger the problem in front of the service guy, however, they ask me to left the phone for checking, one day later, they confirmed that my phone is working fine no need to do anything, nothing to be replaced.
CM12 is already good enough, its speed and battery friendly....
I wish developers of CM12 would somehow fix the problem in future updates, as I knew some D855 user (but not much) also having the same issue.
Best regards,

Well... Finally I can't hold back.
My phone is now like 2,5 years old, maybe a little bit younger.
A 3/4 year ago a had a problem with my display, it had a non responsive touchscreen on the upper part of the screen, about 1cm.
I send it to htc for warranty, it seemed to be replaced and I belive them, since a few scratches disappeared.
But now I face the same problem again!
And not the first time since the replacement.
Check my sig, there is a post about this problem and a "solution"
Electroshocking the display? Dumb, but it seemed to help.
Since I replaced my battery, I had no problems, but I used some cheap double sided adhesive tape and today I changed it to some t-7000 glue.
No problems at all....
A few minutes later a part of the screen is unresponsive again....
Well... I shock it again, restart the phone, bend it as little/much possible...
Working again.
Somewhere I have read, these problems are maybe pressure related, that's why I bend the phone a little (not much, not even visible)
Well just now, the time I wanted to sleep... I discovered this unresponsive screen part again!
I have no piezo handy, so I just try to press the screen and bend it a little....
Won't work....
Now, with a partial dead touchscreen and no solution that worked before...
The only thing that I can do... Write a rant about this...
Back to the title...
Is the touchscreen htc using for the 10 such a piece of crap? Or why is it failing like this?
It is not like I do brute force on my phone, the first time I experienced this problem, I had done nothing wrong... It just failed Suddenly...
After battery replacement... Okay, I was sad since I really tried to be as cautions as possible, but I was aware I can break my phone.
But it was running!
All these problems are occurring after some amount of time after I did anything hardware related to the phone!
Right now I just watched 2h on YouTube while charging....
And bang, Suddenly the touch is not working completely!
I have never heard of such a behavior before, nor I encountered similar problems with my other phones that I took apart.
I really love the 10... But why is it failing on me like this?
Especially after I got a fresh replacement display?
This is bull****, I really start to belive, the hardware component for the touchscreen of this phone is junk...
I really need to sleep now... Good night...

Is this a question.....post it in the Q&A section......
Edit :
I have mine 2.5 years now, no issues at all. There will always be people with problems and always people without. Consider it luck. That's it, not sure why there should be a whole thread dedicated to the obvious. So either get over it and buy a new phone or sort it with HTC......
Cheers.
Same. Have had my phone since launch and the only problems i had were with battery... and they were software issues so i was able to fix them... with the amount of times my phone has dropped i'm surprised I haven't faced more issues. For me the hardware on this phone is 10/10
Well, wasn't about to star a QA on this topic.
More like a discussion, which was right in the place I posted it. Even the title is a question, it wasn't obvious a normal question I really need a answer about.
@bilibox
I love the hardware too! The phone is awesome, else I wouldn't have changed the battery in the first place.
But even before touching the phone interiors, I had problems with the touchscreen.
I thought it may be a drop damage, since I had a few accidents with it.... But never something really bad, only dropping from like 20cm bed etc.
It survived every time!
My first faulty touchscreen was without any incident at all.
I belive to remember I just charged it over night, last drop was a few weeks ago...
Won't say it can't be the fall it has taken damage by...
But since I got a replacement screen and a few month without any incident the same problems starts to happen, but after changing the battery, I fist thought I damaged something.
But after opening it up again it worked without issue.
Right now I need the electro shock therapy like 3 times a day to have the part of the screen responsive for a while.
Even my phone is not in use, it will fail again....
This failure is soo random and fixable permanently (after I put it back together when it was working, fixing it with double sided tape, it worked) it still fails after gluing the screen in the backcover....
I have orders one last replacement part, the screen incl. Touch and stuff, to have this repaired....
If this won't work... Well... I was recommending htc to everyone who wanted a really good phone with awesome support in case of a damage.
I can't do that anymore, since I have these random problems with only the touch....
Yesterday it brake while watching a few videos on yt....
I really really hope... HOPE!... This is only a hardware issue...
With the new screen I even get some "original" adhesive to put it place... Maybe this will help....
The failure is obviously connected to pressure....
Since I was able to fix this problem by "bending" the phone. (bending... I was trying to bend it, I just pressed the screen and the edges... Really tough phone we have here)
To new readers:
No I don't want a answer on the title question, just tell me about your issues with the hardware of this phone.
The only thing i read all the time is "bending" and "dropping" a fall from 20 inches or even less distance would not hurt the device....yeah of course, from what planet do you come from.
This whole topic/discussion/Q&A is a absolute waste of time.
I'm very sorry for all the inconvenience you've been through with the device but complaining about it here is useless. And after 2.5 years of existence of this device there would be and endless list of topics here at xda about hardware failure if that would be significant. So i would recommend using the existing ones......if you can't find any that would confirm your bad luck.
Get over it.

But since I got a replacement screen and a few month without any incident the same problems starts to happen, but after changing the battery, I fist thought I damaged something.
But after opening it up again it worked without issue.

Read well my friend...
After the warranty repair I haven't dropped the phone at any time.
And well... Instead of nearly 2 years with dropping, the new screen only survived a few month (5-6) without dropping.
The only thing I have done was replacing the battery.
And my repair was easy as f., since the replacement adhesive of the last repair was crap and wasn't really sticky at all.
There was no bending at all while the repair.
The bending was a way to fix the unresponsive parts of the screen as a temporary solution.
I bet, if I pry the screen out again, the touch will work again without problems...
Even if I need more force since my last repair, since I have properly glued the screen in place.
It is not like I don't know what I am doing... Tbh, I have no idea why the shocks work as a temp solution...
But for the rest, I am more in the electronics as in Android itself.
And if the screen fails at these random reasons, there has to be a malfunction with the way of picking up the signal from the touchscreen layer of the screen...
By using deforming force this problem gets better or worse it seems this connection seems way to fragile... I will look into this once my replacement arrives.
