Hello everyone!! Before one week my fingerprint sensor stopped working! After two days of that troobleshoot my fingerprint sensor settings all of a sudden disappeared. After two days of the disappeared settings my touchscreen turned unresponsive. I try many things to fix it but the only things that makes it responsive again is a hard push at the screen(lol) is there any other have the same issue? I'm thinking it's time for a replacement of my screen? Or is there any other solutions??

Most of the time, this issue happens due to hardware issue, the screen/power button ribbon cables might've got loose inside the device.
I think its easy to repair in service.
Looks like cable tape broken. If screen not damage try go to service

Screen is in perfect condition not even a single scratch that's why I'm wondering why it keeps getting unresponsive untill i give a hard push...

noticed that my touchscreen is becoming unresponsive lately so i thought that changing the multitouch might solve it. the thing is, after selecting 4 touch, touchscreen becomes totally unresponsive. i tried wipe and even flashing stock os but touchscreen is still the same.
did i screw up my touch screen? how will i know? any known repairs or fix.
thanks
Sounds like your digitalizer (the glass above the screen) is busted and needs replacement. If your phone is under warranty, claim it, if not - get a new digitalizer and if you can't change it yourself, take it to a repair shop.
Changed the digitizer but still no response
Got a headache? It's all in your head!!!
switch ROM
You said that you flashed back to stock, but how about flashing to another ROM, I mean one that has a completly diferent multitouch enabler... that might work.

i was able to flash stock and it means i have no root nor recovery. and adb debugging is not enabled. i am out of ideas how i will be able to solve this.
After flashing stock ROM do you face the same issue with a new Digitizer?
yes. doesnt respond to anything except volume and power. even the 4 touch buttons doesn't work. i was thinking that i have received a bad digitizer or it is a motherboard issue. with the latter i have no idea how to check

I had recently taken my Defy to a service center. I just wanted to change the earpiece and the side casing. While replacing the side casing (while removing the Digitizer) they damaged the digitizer. The main touch portion was working but the 4 soft keys were not. They replaced the digitizer and everything was fine again (had to pay for it )
If you can carefully handle the phone, you can open up the casing and try reconnecting the digitizer to the board. (Do not remove the digitizer from the casing only reconnect the cable).
Replacement is better done by a service center as it requires careful handing.
I did open the phone, removed and reconnected the cable, still the same. also tried 2 new digitizer still the same result. I guess it us the mother board . Any ideas where to get replacement board ?
Thanks

i have got the same problem like you and i have solved it.
Do compass calibration like spin the phone 3 times in flat condition (laying down face up), then have the phone standing up and rotate 3 times, then on one side, rotate 3 times and then move your defy in the shape of number "8" in the air. Re-open the screen. it is suppose to bring back your screen work like it was nothing happened.
only for my defy i've tried never did this for another but from what i see you have nothing to lose here
Tried the calibrating thing and also a new digitizer. doesn't work. So it is the motherboard.
Anyone knows where to get mother board
Got a headache? It's all in your head!!!
Getting a new board is like getting a new phone - new IMEI, price for the board should be very similar to the pricw for a new phone too. If you think about it, it IS the phone. What's there in the phone other than the board a screen and a digitizer...
Guess you're right.

I dropped my HOX and cracked the digitizer a while ago and i still used my hox since to me it's not really a problem to have a broken glass. A couple of days ago capacitive buttons started to malfunction. Now they are not working anymore. I installed Button Savior to make the phone still usable, but now i am looking forward to solve the problem.
I am asking a simple question because i opened my hox so many times resolving GPS and WIFI malfunctions (my WIFI and GPS now are stronger than Galaxy Nexus', so that's a hardware problem), and played a lot with the connection to antenna pins. There is the remote chance that i actually broke something on the mainboard. The question is: replacing the digitizer+display would 100% solve the problem of capacitive buttons? Are the capacitive buttons totally integrated with screen digitizer?
Maybe it's just a silly question, but i want to be sure before buying a spare display+digitizer.

Bump!
I'm also having troubles with my capacitive buttons..
Opened my HOX to fix the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth issue with a couple solder point, closed it back, connection is now amazingly good, but:
-I have no lights on my capacitive buttons (except for the lights off they work alright).
-I have no sound on my loudspeaker (the one behind the device), tested it with a 1.5v battery (like this: youtube.com/watch?v=xIMHGkxw72o) and the speaker itself is fine, but, no sound.
I'm from Brazil, no HTC presence here, so, no authorized service where I can send it to be fixed.
I'm hoping you guys could give me some help on how to proceed to identify/ fix those issues!
Anything???

I went on a rage and FULLY disassembled the phone... putting all back together later on.
Everything is fine now!
For me, I GUESS this cable was disconnected: etradesupply.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/o/e/oem_htc_one_x_navigation_light_flex_cable_ribbon_4_.jpg
It's related to capacitive buttons light and loudspeaker (I don't know if anything else goes trough it)...unfortunately can't use this solution for nonworking buttons...
=/
sorry for bring alive this thread but im very interested on thi issue, im having the exact same problem after "fixing" wifi issue :/ does reaplcing the digitizer fixes this problem?

I've also just had an issue with non-working capacitive buttons, they light up but won't actually do anything, the phone hasn't been dropped and is usually left on the sideboard in the bedroom as I mostly use my newer HTC One instead, any reason why it would just suddenly just stop like that? was fine the day before whilst playing a game on it.
Recently noticed that whenever i applied pressured on the screen, the screen would turn off. Disabled double tap, problem still persist. Anyone with similar experience?

I applied some pressure around my screen and nothing happened.

Well, i guess its something to do with the Hardware issue. Oh well....
maybe a loose ribbon cable?
Got my phone back from the service centre and they diagnosed with a Faulty Back Light. Got the whole LCD replaced FOC.

Hi, everyone. So I have an LG G4 for more than a year now and I am very pleased with its performance. I did have an issue with sometimes the audio is stuck after a call but I think it more has to do with bad reception as I noticed so its rare this days. However, lately something happened with the knock on feature which I cannot figure out at all. Sometimes it just doesn't work. I tap and nothing happens. The power on button is working perfectly but the knock on is unresponsive. I fiddled with the proximity sensor but it's not it. Sometimes it just stops working for 5-6 times and then it works and the again it doesn't. There is no pattern. When it's powering on the feature works with no hiccups but after that it's like the cpu forgets to monitor the process. I don't know. I have tried calibration and it works with no problem for a few minutes and then it goes back again to this stutter. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I am thinking factory reset but the hassle would be pointless if the problem persists and I am in no mood to install all those apps I have from the beginning for no reason. Any hep will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I am experiencing the same issue but mine Knock on is a bit delaying.. for an example, I double tap on the screen and it gives response in 3-4 mins or not... I am suspecting from screen protector which has been mounted for almost a year, it could be corrupted(scratch) Give a try on removing the screen protector(if you have any)
It's a hardware problem. Many threads online about it

Is your case or temp glass protect over prox sensor. That can affect it bad. Also scratches on glass over prox sensor. If not. Then more than likely hardware related.
No the screen protector does not cover the prox sensor. It's cut out as it should be. I am starting to think it's a hardware problem. The thing is why now?!

They are mostly sensors just like on a car. Sometimes it's just there time. Electrical components fail all the time. Are u rooted. Modified anything recently?

No. I haven't touched it at all yet. I am pretty satisfied with the performance so I left it alone. The only thing worth mentioning is that I overheated taking a lot of pictures during an event. Maybe this did a number on it!
I have been discussing the issue with a technican today. It is a hardware issue, you cannot fix it. Apparently, the proximity sensor dies after ~2 years - at least somewhat. Why somewhat?
Check this out: You can check the status of your sensor using MINIOS, type *#546368#*815# (n.b. - swap 815 for your model number).
Now click device test - MT - ok - Individual Item - Sensor test - WAIT!
The proximity sensor will run a test and likely come up with a figure between 60~90. The actual value should be 220+.
Meaning: Your phone thinks it´s ~6-9 cm away from your face, that is not enough to trigger knock-on but it´s far enough to be triggered using the backside button.
My knock on doesn't work, but knock off does. Not a major issue, just annoying!
It got wet a little bit, and it works perfectly fine, besides the wifi and gps that stopped working.
Should replacing the Signals Cable fix it ? If not what do you think should ?

It is either oxidisation at the contacts or hardware issue. Clean the contacts and completely dry the phone before assembling it. If that doesn't solve the issue, it is hardware.

Tbh, it's been 5 months since it got wet, so i was thinking that there's probably no water left if that was the issue.

If it was not thoroughly cleaned and dried, oxidisation can happen even after 5 months. So check and clean the contacts.
