I have a T-Mobile Pocket Phone Edition,
It's had a rough life but as kept going for over 3 years now.
For the last year I would have to realign the screen 2 or 3
times a week but over the last few months it keeps getting worse.
Sometimes the screen won't respond to anything anywhere,
then after I tap it a few times boom works fine.
Sometimes I'll tap on the “Ok” and the “Start menu” will activate.
Sometimes drawing a line up the center of the screen will end up
shooting all over the screen.
And sometime it will work perfectly!
I thought the problems were to erratic to be hardware so
I hard set after awhile it started again,
So I hard set and installed a different ROM after a coupe hours
the problem was back.
Also sometimes the align program will get stuck in a
loop that doesn't end.
I've searched but can't find an answer? Anyone have an idea?
I've already taken it a part once but couldn't see how to get
any further after I toke the back panel off? Please help!
WOW nobody? So no one was heard of this problem before?
Can anyone direct me to directions on taking apart the Wallaby?
Thanks <><
It's a problem with touch screen. You should check (and fix) it.
Maybe it is necessary to press well screen to the motherboard. (Sorry my english).
Ok, Can you tell me where that connection is?
Thanks
Toke everything apart, found the connection, cleaned everything (w/ screen wipe)
put it all back together. Still have the touch problem and now the backlight won't work!
I've found if I press the unit in my hand the touch panel works right,
I don't think it's a lose connection to the main board so I think it must be
one on the main board.
If anybody thinks they want it for parts let me know! :?

the same prob happens to me..... the align screen appears many times to me and it wil reinstall new OS. so then it looks new ans lost all old settings & mess, contacts.
how to stop this bug?
yeap i now have the same problem, dont know what happen to my touch screen.. i can press the upper section windows bar, signal and all kind that is on top
can anyone help please?
Like it was said before, your touchscreen is busted ... in my case, i've change my lcd and touchscreen with one bought on ebay. But before to change your lcd, you can try to align your screen with your finger, not with your stylus.
Just put an empty welcome.not file in your SD card.
It should bypass the alignment screen.
If it doesn't, then do one alignment run,hit the power button, and turn it back on. It should work then.
Beware, though, that the screen will be unaligned. Manage to get to the alignment again, and repeat the process (hitting power button thing). Then it'll be aligned correctly (at least in my case it does...)
As Huefu posted the touchpad is dead my friend. There is another topic about the touchscreen being dead that I have posted on. You can buy one on ebay but beware there are two different screen types. So dismantle first to check the connectors on the back of your screen to make sure you get the right replacement.
Your looking around £30 and some patience. It's tricky to take the phone apart and reassemble. You can google for the XDA/MDA service manual, this will show you how to take it apart
Good luck
2 Years Ago i´ve got the Same Problem....I opened my Himalaya
and there was a bigger Piece of Tobacco (I´m Rolling my Cicarettes by myself)between the Screen and the Housing- you couldn´t see it from Outside.
...for my case this was the solution !
and this Year my Himalaya is getting 5 Years old
I would try this first before Buying a new Screen
...but ...as honosuseri mentionened before
There different Models with different Connectors
(i think 2 or 3 different Connectors)
watch out ! DOOD!
Hello
2 days ago I got a T-mobile MDA from a friend. Only the MDA and a cradle. It had not been used for at least half a year. At first I could not make it work as it did not react to the stylus on the touch screen. But after some resets it slowly came on, and was fairly working (slow sometimes)
As I wanted English SW, I downloaded one and installed. After some time the problem came again, and I decided to switch back. Then it stopped working again.
Sometimes I can get to the calibrating touch screen, but then it stop reacting.
I read about similar problems on this website, but I cannot install the file tpenable.exe until I get into operating system, and can use the touch pad.
I tried with a couple of ROM-versions, but it seems to have no influence. Still, to me it feels like a SW-problem.
Anyone have some suggestions?

Follow up
Here is a follow up on my problem:
I discovered that if I press hard at the lower quater of the touch screen, sometimes it works again. This points more to a HW problem.
I took the MDA apart a couple of times, but could not see anything wrong. Does anybody know how the touch screen technically works?
I noticed in another post about someone with a similar problem. Do anybody know what exactly he was soldering?

Hey guys!
something happaned to me 2 days ago.
everything worked great, and suddenly the HD screen wont work properly.
the left side of the screen sometimes reacts defferent when i press the left side screen.
for example - i press the Start on the left, and it reacts on the right!, if i press the right side it works good!
ive done few HR with changing the ROM few times too, the problem is still there...
when i do screen align - the buttons are getting pressed ok, when i start to use the phone its getting crazy, i have to press the left side at the end of the screen so it can react on the middle...
im getting crazy cuz everything worked great 2 days ago...
the picture on the screen is perfect - no defects except the touch.
also when i press the left side of the screen' lets say on the TF3D Tabs and living the Stylus on one Tab, its shaking a bit like im playing with it...
all the 4 HARD BUTTONS at the buttom doesnt work properly either...
thank you all...
BTW something happaned to alot of people? i can see alot of messages about those things..
* also one more thing..
im using my phone as a Modem for 4 months already, can it be one of the resons to make the Digitizer go crazy? the heat? cuz its get hot as modem...
Hey.
thanks for the answer.
but my qustion is if it really is my Digitizer...?
yes i got the same problem, send it to my reseller and got it repaired.
In a few hours i go to the poststation and get my HD back
greetz
yeah my seller lives at the other side of the country lol...
thanks guys for the help.
=]
OK
something doesnt make any sense!
ive done another HR- another ALIGN SCREEN' and suddnley the screen works perfect! no stuttering, no jumping from one tub to another!
how can that be???
ive pressed the screen hard enough to see if the problem comes back! and it didnt...
how can that make any sense?
Damaged Digitizer will do that?
Hey!
thanks for the answer, but i live far away...in Israel \=
the main problem i have on the screen, is the OILY LIQUID under the screen! that what causes the problems, now my HD wont work at all, or maybe sometimes when it wants to...
now i have to send it for repair...and hope it will be ok
I'm out of luck,
One year ago, in the beginning of August, I had the Digitizer problem...
After a year passed, I begun to noticed again a small oil liquid on the LCD!!!
I still don't notice any problem with the touch, but it's a matter of time...
I can't believe it!!! 99% for sure that I have to send my phone to repair again and almost exactly one year after the same problem!!!
hi guys,
i'm having this really wierd problem just started couple of hours ago, ok so the problem is that when i reboot my phone and get into windows mobile or android everything works perfectly however as soon as i power off and wake up the phone the touch screen stops responding completely and the only way i see is to hard reset the phone again and i have no idea whats causing it i changed roms , changed radio and yet i still have this problem so someone please help me out, i don't no if the touch screen is messed up or what
because the touch responds perfectly the way it should when i reset my phone but after i power off the screen and wake up to the lock screen i can't unlock the phone b/c it won't respond to my touch after that
so please help out guys
thanks
hm... try hard-reseting the phone. but back up your data first using some backup software like sprite backup
Tried that as well no luck any other suggestion guys
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I had the exact same problem, and I had to hard reset everytime, but as soon as I would press the end key it would be unresponsive. What I learned is that right after you hard reset you should only try waking pressing other keys than the end key and let it go to sleep by itself. Also did you use any EVO android builds, or Android at all, not sure if it's relevant, but that's where it all went wrong for me with the EVO build. I do find it quite odd that quite a few people are experiencing the same thing with the touchscreen and it also seems that there really isn't a solution to this. I had to send it in for a repair, and it got fixed pretty quick. Perhaps this needs to be investigated more.
i have same problem with my htc hd2
it is so annoying. i will send to repair service too..
hey i have the same problem too ! did you installed the new c0okies home tab ? because i did and after that it start it messing up.. well i did a thread yesterday about this.. the only responses i got was to send it back to repair. I just did not turn off the screen for nothing today during the whole school day it almost finisihed the whole day, it last it me about 6 hours without turning off the screen, otherwise the touchscreen becomes unresponsive.
Temporary fix/test
I just fixed it temporarily, i fixed it by taking off the battery cover and pressing down on the htc logo (below lcd) and pressure on both the front and back of the phone where the htc logo is.
if you do this and it fixes it, you most likely have a dodgy lcd/digitiser flex ribbon cable.
So, this thing drives me crazy...I've tried everything I knew and still nothing solved this problem.
I'm using HTC One. About 10 days ago weird things with touch started to happen. It seems that touch is partly unavailable/unresponsible on touch in one or two small areas. It seems to me like theres an empty place on my touch. Visualy is everything fine. Screen is crystal clear and has no damages or scratches. But I can't slide icons without troubles. Somwhere on 1/4 of screen, touch brakes briefly and I need another try to slide the icon. The same thing happens with status bar on the top of screen - I can slide it until that 1/4 part and it stops there and goes back. If I slide it quick with short move, it works fine, just slide alone over problematic area.
Also, few times I had that problem where screen works things on itself will. Makes pictures, or adds filters on Instagram, or, I don't know, just jumps around for few secons. Then, I lock the screen, then unlock it and usually that calm down the screen.
Also weird thing is that, when I want to send message, I can't reach "send" button in first try. I have to drop down writing sheet, than to touch the letters to put it in writing mode again, and then I can click the "send" button. On the same place where it was previously!
At first, I thought that plastic case or PVC protection is the problem, so I took off the protector from the screen. That solved problem for a bit. Then, I put back screen guard, and problem came back. After I totally rejected screen guard, problem is still here. I've tried to reset phone on factory, but that wasn't helpfull...
I forgot to state that I'm using Android 4.2.2 and this started to happen after that version update. I had no problem before.
So, now I'm here, as I don't know what else to do before I take this beauty to service. I just hope that this happens because of software bugs :crying:
Is there anyone who could help me? Have similar problem or know how to fix this?
In the meantime, I'll just hope that 4.3 will fix it themself... :fingers-crossed:
