Searched google, found a few people having the same (or very similar) problem, but found no actual answer.
So one of my touch wires on the screen gone bad>>> [I have "Show touches" enabled, so I can see how my phone randomly starts pushing like 10 times per second in a few spots on my screen, all of them ar one the same horizontal coordinates, noticed like 5-10 pixels that are being pressed all the time.]
So my main question is, can I somehow disable touch on those pixels or atleast the whole line across the screen? I just want to live with this phone for a few more months because I'm already planning on buying a new one.

Hi! I have a big problem with my Rhodium.
I have post another similar thread before but aybody seems to respoding..
I don't know what happened to my phone.
The touchflo3D seems to not responding. in other words the screen reacts when I tap on it, but I can't move or select anything on the screen.
I don't understand if it's a software or hardware problem.
The problem born with a custom rom I installed.
R [WWE|GER|FRA|ITA|NLD] |Feb 12| Energy™-.¸¸.·´¯ 6.5|21916 / 6.5.X|28244 * Sense 2021
after few days of no problem, the screen became as I described, incapable to select anything.
I tried also to move to the settings to disactivate sense but it was impossible with only the keyboard.
I searched on the forum for the solution, but the methods proposed didn't resolve the problem!
So I decided to return to the ufficial Rom.
RUU_Rhodium_HTC_ITA_1.19.408.1_Radio_Rhodium_3.44. 25.27_Signed_Ship
I performed a HardReset before the reinstall of the ufficial rom, but the problem remained.
So I performed a task29, but after the reinstall nothing changed and the TouchFlo seem to be broken.
I followed the guides proposed but I don't think I commited something wrong...
I suppose is a problem of the software because, I repeat, the screen react to my tap when is in minimum light.
Please help me because I don't know whato to do...
Tnx to All!!!!
Is the issue *only* with Touchflo? Can you tap on the Start menu and bring it up?
I'm confused as to why you say "the screen reacts when I tap on it, but I can't move or select anything on the screen"
How can you tell if the screen reacts?

Hi! No I can't tap on the start menù and when I tap on any icon on the screen nothing happens!
What I meant with "the screen seems to react" is that (sorry for my English XD!) before the screen goes black, the light goes high to low, ok?
when the screen has low light, and I tap on the screen, the light goes to high, so it seems that the screen can react to my tap.
tnk you very much for your response.
If I wasn't capable to explain correctly, please tell me 'cause I'm a little worried for my phone!
Bye.
i don't want to bring down any hope left, but if it does not respond to anything you do, i think your phone has just lost its flat cable. It might be broken and fixing it up would be a total pain. I would bring it back to where you bought it. Contact me through pm for further details, if u're still wondering what does this mean.

This sounds either like a broken / damaged ribbon cable (the "flat cable" the previous poster was referring to) or a damaged / broken digitizer.
On my old phone, the digitizer slowly broke - first the accuracy of the touchscreen would slide, then it got to the point where it wouldn't register 'on screen' at all, even though the phone could still tell I was tapping the screen because the backlight would come on etc, just as you describe.
Replacing the digitizer will cost money, but if you're going to do that find someone good at doing it! And also consider getting the device checked out and replacing the ribbon cable too, it's probably one of the most vulnerable parts of the device so it can never hurt to be overly cautious and replace both of them. Unfortunately there's always a cost involved
Let us know how you get on...
Hi the cable is not the only thing that can couse your screen to not respond, ive seen a tp2 that stoped responding because IT captured humidity in the digitizer screen, you can tell if this is the case by mooving your phone under the sun light and you will notice a kind of rainbow loking transparente spot, this humidity causes the digitizer screen to get stuck, the Solution can be to let it dry in the sun, or to rub it jently against your leg, the fricción can help to dry out the humidity, hope IT helps.
Search on here "tp2 screen not responding"
There is a thread on here I found about the screen not responding, and cleaning around the chrome edge with something thin, carefully, (I used my fingernail, which worked, but I lifted the contact too much down by the buttons on the bottom of screen). Worked for me and a few others. Good luck.
Hi
I bought a new RHOD100 and am running Stock WinMo 6.5. First few days the phone worked beautiful. But about a week of usage landed me in this condition.
The screen only lights up with the keyboard is out and not tilted. Other than that, if it's slid in (portrait mode) or when it is tilted up, the screen freezes to whatever it was like when the keyboard was slid out. The touch functions work, I can hear screen tap sounds, and if I click on the right icon things open and close too, but the display remains frozen until I slide out the keyboard and/or undo the tilt.
Any ideas how to fix this? Is that hardware or software?
I have never dropped it, nor exaggerated the tilting.. Can it be the Flex cable?
Definitely hardware... almost 99.99999999% sure this issue is hardware.
I'm betting it is indeed the flex cable. If you're feeling brave, you can attempt to take the phone apart and see if you can find the issue - keep in mind, this is very delicate and tedious work. Need a steady/careful hand and a lot of space! Good tools help too .

I've got a problem with a OneX I'm trialling for work.
This is a stock device with the latest OTA update applied. I installed Good for Enterprise, activated it, and got my work emails. I opened a PDF attachment which opened for a couple of seconds then the display glitched.
The attached images show what I mean. The display is glitched for every screen. Soft resetting the phone was okay until it started again a couple of minutes later.
Soft resetting a 2nd time was where my real problems started. The phone vibrated as it started, but the display stayed dark. If I tap the power, the touch buttons light up. If I go through the motions of the lock ring and my gesture lock, I feel vibrations of my actions but can't see a thing. If I ring the phone, it rings, the touch buttons light up and the LED blinks. The display stays dark at all times.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? It's almost like when a graphic card overheats in a PC.
I would try a hard reset, see what that does, it should fix it as it looks like software problem
Squeeze your phone between thumb and forefinger (on the screen and rear cover) about 1.5-2cm in from the USB port, and slightly below. Let us know if the screen comes back on.

I think your phone is on drugs.
Seriously though, that's the scariest gfx bug I've seen on a phone.
Work were just as surprised as everyone else.
It's been sent back to them so they can talk with Vodafone about just what's happened with it.
In the few days I had it, it's a decent phone. The primary reason for considering the OneX is the screen size, and the fact you can read a PDF clearly on it.

Mine looks exactly the same once Ive had a few whisky's...
I had the exact same problem, so I shipped off my phone to service.
They actually changed the whole motherboard. I got my phone back 2 days ago, and it is working better than ever. Even better than before they changed the board.
My guess; Same problem as me. Busted motherboard. Im waiting to get a reply from the service guys that fixed my phone, so I can get some solid answers about what was actually wrong.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Sebastian
Hi guys,
anyone had an issue where the screen flickers really badly? Mine has been working great then today it did a weird glitch where the button bar at the bottom went halfway up the screen, and the screen flickered really bad, like a tube light starting up. Ive reset it and now its flickering like a fluorescent tube light. everything still works, but im on the phone to three now organising to get it returned.
cheers
Ray
ok, so an update to this. after leaving the phone on all day the flickering screen stopped flickering, however now i have an issue where plugging my ear pollution headphones causes the phone to now show as a headset with microphone, and the voice assistant to appear. It is also now getting really hot on charging where it didnt before, so my returns envelope arrived today, and its off back to LG for a repair. Seems very strange how its happened after a month of relatively light use, where my 2 htc phones were working great after 2 years of use?
anyway, lets see what rubbish comes back from LG
Home screen Magnifies
I have a weird problem with LG G3 screen
When i double tap to lock the screen .....Home screen Magnifies and if i double tap on that again it goes back to normal
I dont understand why .....can anyone please suggest me if any option to be tweaked under settings
Thanks

Hi everyone.
I have recently had my screen replaced. After playing around, i quickly noticed that my keyboard screws up when i start typing.
The faster i type, the worse the problem is.
I checked touch response times and achieves normal times of about 60ms, however, i turned on touch overlay in developer settings and noticed that if i touch opposite sides of the screen quickly (to simulate typing), it would draw lines between the touches as if i was dragging between the two points.
This is what causes my keyboard to do funky stuff and heavily lag when typing fast.
Please note that this never happened before the screen replacement, and a hard reset didnt fix the problem.
Is there any software fix for this, or do i need another screen?
thanks.

I mainly work on iPhones, but it sounds like your digitizer is out of calibration. Don't know if there's a software fix for it, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction. Also I'd take it back to the place you had it repaired and see if they can fix if it's still warrantied.
