Please Please Please tell me what should I do .????? It's almost dead and I am not able to use it . I cant afford a new one right now so, please help .....

For the screen being unresponsive would usually mean that your digitizer is broken

I have the exact same problem :/

how to repair that. please tell ..

6 months old? Can't you then just let it repair for free or get a new one where you bought it?
If its a hardware problem, and it rather sounds so, then you probably can't do much on your own (and don't break it if you have guarantee).

Well the problem (for me) is that I do not live in the US, so the shipping fee would be one thing, and then I'd actually have to pay customs to get it back again, so that's a no go. I might try to replace the digitizer though, although I allready replaced it.

You could conceivably order and replace the digitizer yourself, however, it is very difficult and you run the risk of permanently damaging the phone. If you are under warranty still, return it. If rooted search xda for the factory update.zip and follow the instructions to do a factory restore, then return it.

Touch Screen Problem on HTC Desire Z

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 !!

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?

[Q] need to solve something about touch screen

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.

From what i see from the video, its likely that ur touch sensor is detecting ghost fingers. Which is touch being registered even though u r only having one finger or no fingers on the screen at all. This happens when ur touch screen digitizer is damaged. Common causes would dropping, water damage or overheating of ur phone. If its still under warranty, LG should replace the digitizer for u. Hope that clears ur question.

Thank u for clearing my doubt.I think also that its digitizer problem. But never dropped or heated or put in water my phone.Now I loosing screen functionality over other points also. Also as I wake the phone up it unlock itself in auto and starts two applications. One is quick translator and other one is safety care. I have this phone since 3 months. Initially there was no problem but I m facing this problem since 20-25 days.Although I didnt drop or heat or water my phone.

There also a possibility that it could be manufacturing defect. A certain damage during the production of the phone's motherboard would result in it killing the digitizer over time. If this is the case (keeps reoccurring after changing the digitizer by going to lg), u shd request lg to replace ur entire unit. If u want to see the ghost fingers u can download this app from the play store called multitouch test. It will show all the touch inputs on ur device.

Now I have started facing one more problem while screen off time is 30 secs in display options but it keeps waking till indifinite period.

Its linked to the previous that u were having. Screen off timing is set to lock the phone there is no touch activity on the phone. Meaning on a normal phone, it would lock itself if u don't touch the screen for 30sec. But since ur screen is constantly registering ghost fingers/touches it would register as a touch activity and this would prevent the phone from being locked. Bring ur phone to lg service immediately. Don't wait

ok thanks dude.But I fear that if they refuse to replace it giving excuse like u have dropped or heated etc. ur phone.Is there any solution for that?

Usually they wouldn't do such things. In most cases they would repair it for u. Even if the phones are rooted, they would repair it even though the warranty is void. If u really have bad luck there shd b tutorials online on how to replace the digitizer. But u might screw up more things and if it involves the motherboard issue as I said before, replacing the digitizer would only solve the issue for some time

Today after 7-8 hrs after as I started using phone I found my home button stopped responding .It is response less.Now I think it is sure that its a motherboard problem.

Not necessarily. Ur home button sensor lies on the same digitizer panel so with many ghost fingers, it just isn't detecting the input from the home button. As I said, of u replace it and if the problem keeps coming back, its likely to be a motherboard problem. As for the pricing of the digitizer u can look at eBay. But really really don't recommend u doing it by urself. Take it to lg service centre

Random (and ghostly) touches on screen

Hi guys!
I have a F180L (converted on a E975), my phone never fell from any distance, or had any kind of impact, BUT...Since I updated to last version o Carbom ROM, I've got a issue on my screen...
There are random touches on my down-left corner of the screen. It's completely random, while the charger is plugged, or not. But it only happens when an app is opened, while in homescreen (even on google now cards) everything is ok...
I've already flashed another rom, the AOKP Android L release 11, the problem still here...I installed a screen tester app, and this corner is not recognizing when I touch.
What can I do? Is there any kind of fix for it?
It's really annoying (mainly while typing)...
Thank you for any help!

I guess its time for a replacement.

Made some research on other forums and found some people with the same problem, but on other devices...On Nexus 4 and Xioami (mostly)...They solved this by replacing the battery...I'll try to do that this week...
But any other tip about can help...

it might be a kernel issue
if u have jolla kernel try changing the kernel first

I have also the ghost touching on my E975.
Tried to do a scan with antivirus with no luck.
For instance it's hard to dial number, because there are ghost touches often.
It's like on tihs video, but I have touches even more often:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHFtafL-HKc
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Any ideas about the issue?

It's relatively common issue, hope it will not appear again...

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I seem to have a problem with my screen, not with the ghostly touches but my screen has like one part of it not responsive to touches especially the keyboard. While typing in portrait mode I can't type in the letters x and d and the whole line of the screen above those letters can't respond to my touches. The others are OK though. Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Already flashed different ROMs but same problem

So...I didn't manage to get a new battery to perform a test yet...Maybe I'll do that until the end of this week, and post the results here...
About the kernel...Mine is "3.4.0 [email protected]" ...
Going to update to new Kevin's L ROM and see what will happen...Hope I can help u, guys...

I had the same problem as well, unfortunately my phone was just out of the warranty period so I couldn't get a repair or replacement. I tried everything to do with the software and firmware at first to see if that was the issue(no luck). I noticed when my phone was either hot from heavy usage or charging, it was at its worst..couldn't even put my lock pattern in without it spazzing out. After almost throwing my phone at a wall numerous times I decided to get a new digitizer (easily bought online at reasonable prices). Watched a tutorial on Youtube and replaced it successfully and haven't had a problem since.

So tried the touchscreen test and found out it was like a whole strip of screen that got affected. It was okay just a few days ago though,

Yeah no problem and thats unlucky. I've got the Korean variant and wasn't ready to wait weeks to get my new digitizer either from Asia. I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit). Yeah the Moto G look great but it seems to be more of a downgrade from your current handset right?

I live in the UK I managed to find one here on ebay. I know you can get some from Italy , Spain and I'm positive there some in US aswell. Search "E975 housing or digitizer" depending on what your after. Do be careful as some replacements screens lack the LG logo or a bad quality. Im would give direct link but im not sure about the forum rules on that are. If your still unsure do PM me your country and I'll PM you back an appropriate link.
Hope I helped.
