Sometimes when im using MP my back buttong is not working, no vibrate and doesnt even respond with vibrate. what could be the cause of this problem? anyone experience this?
Me too. This happened after I update my mp to the latest version. But not often it happens like this
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
Same here.
I wasn't aware this problem until I flashed CM7.2.
Does someone experience this in stock rom?
And I find that it usually happens when I wake up in the morning or from afternoon rest for 2-3 hours.The variation in environment condition,such as moisture,may cause that to occur?

lol.
Actually,I clean my mp with wet tissue occasionally.Please correct me if that's a wrong way to maintain it.
But I sometimes found the touchscreen humid and my back button happened to fail.
Anyway,it returns to normal after I reboot.Annoying~

True, needs reboot im using stock rom not rooted, .62 FW XMP Black
hi.
i have also had problems with the back button on my SK17i playing up. I haven't updated my phone past 2.3, O2 are so kind and won't let me.
Now unless I'm a really soggy person, my back key decides it doesn't want to work today when my phone is bone dry (to me anyway). It did have an episode where it was in a pocket of a tent where alot of condensation gathered, but the back key was playing up before then...
I'm getting really frustrated by this as the only way i have to be able to get the key working again is to turn it off then back on. My phone isn't rooted or anything...it just decides (more frequently as the days go by) "you want to go back...nah not today methinks..." I'm getting to the point where I'm considering throwing in the towel and just getting a whole new phone...
Aha. I knew I couldn't be alone.
Facing this across two three roms now.
Gets more severe as the days go by.
Regards

i know its kindda of on an old thread haha..... but.. hmmm it seems its fairly common, anyone has a solution? im having the issue too, i have to reboot to fix it.... thanks in advance
I have the same problem, and for me it definitely started after the OTA update to ICS. But, when I go back to [flash stock] GB it's still there.
When I installed CM9 (and later CM10) the problem was gone, gone, gone... So lovely...
Unfortunately I had other problems with these ROMs that in the end drove me insane (!!!)
So now I am on a stock-based custom ROM, which is super fast and smooth [w/ rage kernel 3.2] and it took me a while before I realized the problem came back so obviously for me it's something that comes with the stock rom (that gor changed with the upgrade, but doesn't change with a downgrade, to GB).
Also, I noticed that if I press really hard it works as it should -in realizing this I remembered that I had similar problems caused by a protective film I used in the beginning, but when I upgraded [the protective film] to one of substacially higher quality this wasn't a problem anymore. But now if I peel up the corner by the back button it is clear that it gets way more responsive... But not enough to say it's back to normal.
These are the things I have been able to gather about this issue. But I guess all you really need to know is that if you use CM9 (or CM10) [w/ extended kernel] this problem is not an issue anymore -so what does that mean...?

my girlfriends heros touch screen has stoped responding for instance if i press menu i can press scenes but while im in scenes and select a new one i cant press done i have to use the scroll ball... anyone had anything like this??
any help greatly appreciated
thanks
It happened to mine, the only thing you can do is send it back. It sucks but the screen is faulty.
Send her round with it........... I'll see if I can help
Seriously though, buggered screen I'm afraid..
Had the same problem. Sent it in for a repair and got it back in 10 days.
I've got the same problem!!! I used to say that it was the best phone I've ever used but my mind is changed! :S
Same problem here. I can type with the top and middle of the screen, but the bottom is less responsive/sometimes non-responsive, and backspace doesn't work. Dave Hagenaars: Did you have to pay for the repair?
Aslong as it's under warranty HTC will repair it for nothing. It seems it's a fairly common fault. It come's back with a sticker asking you not to leave the phone in your pocket whilst sat down. Bless them.

My touchscreen works fine when holding it upright, but when the phone is laying down it gets really unresponsive. Anyone else having this issue?
Since it works sometimes, I'm guessing it must be software issue...
Hey,
Sometimes my HTC Hero acts weird.
Sense starts to jump between 2 screens (as if I'm constantly giving it input) when I'm doing nothing.
Also sometimes a press anywhere on the screen makes the phone think I'm pressing something at the bottom.
And last but not least, sometimes when I try to type something I lose the function of both the bottom left and right part of the screen, meaning I can't use backspace, the L, P, A and other various keys that reside there.
Does anyone also have these problems?
Is this hardware related or can I hope that this problem is solved with the 2.0/2.1 update?
Mine does the same
It happens to me as well, and i bought it abroad so no repair for me
Also - mine does the CRAZIEST thing - i can move the screen without touching it!! This is crazy - i just hover the finger above it and i can move the desktop left to right ("feature" only available when teh screen starts to jerk around)
I have no idea what to do - it drives me crazy - all my presses are wrong, and some dont work at all!!
I have figured a "way" to make it normal for a while, i just press the end key to close the screen and then turn it on again and it kinda, kinda, works again.
anybody there knows whats is the fault? if its software or hardware?, anyway i sent mine for repair and still waiting.
It's a hardware issue, no doubt. I have experienced all the issues described in the last 3-4 posts. Will have to send it in for repair after christmas - but I'll probably have to get back to the original firmware first.

well i took off the screen protector, and still pretty the same issue. anyway but now atleast it's under repair. so waiting for the phone i hope to get it before xmas.
I have a dead spot around the O and L key when typing messages in the landscape position.
Should I back-up my phone and remove all private data when getting it repaired?
had a sticker - same thing
i removed mine as well - and same thing.
talked to HTC - but they dont have a repair place in Israel - so i will have to send it abroad to the UK maybe for repair.
I still dont understand - if this is a hardware issue - how does it fix it for a short while when i press the "end" key, and re-open the phone.
if the hardware was defective it should always happen and wont be "fixed" for a short while.
Same problem, dont believe it is hardware
Got the same problem when i update to another rom LOX or Hikari.
Wiping and going back to Modaco 3.0 and everything is perfect again. Have the feeling that it has also something to do with the radio images
Maybe also something to do in which order the roms and radio's are updated. Still testing but got the same problem. Reverting back to my modaco 3.0 nandroid and everything works again.
For me this is the stable version where the bottom line works:
Firmware: 1.5
Radio: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel:2.6.27-mck-teknologist-1.9

I have a similiar problem on my Hero. Did you find a solution to it?
What's weird is that it isn't constant. It comes and goes.
But when flashing the cya mod with 2.1 my phone was stuck on the enter sim card code screen.. Could not press OK to continue.
Hey!
I've noticed that in a few applications (or settings) i have issues with my touch-input. This is e.g when changing the default ringtone i can't just tap "ok" but have to press the "ok" button from the side with my whole finger, otherwise it won't be regocnised. Sometimes when using the keyboard, the buttons on the right side are very hard to use. That would be the "p" "l" and "backspace". Have anyone else had this problem? The weird thing is that sometimes it works perfect, but sometimes it's just a pain in the ass to get things done?
I think sometimes the touch screen can just not work properly, just luck of the draw I guess.
Has yours always been like this or is it a recent change? I am assuming its always been like this.
if it has then its a hardware failure (most likely) and will need to go back under warranty for repair.
If its a new change, then what has happened to cause it? Could just be a new rom or something causing the calibration to be off.
It hasn't always been like this. Lately it has begun to screw with me. And i don't think it has anything to do with luck, since it's always the same programs that do this. e.g. changing ringtone, accepting the google maps license on first run etc.
One could think this is a hardware failure, that's what i thought at first, but the strange thing is, that the same "area" on the screen works prefectly in other applications. I've tried several roms, but they all act like this. Perhaps I should install the stock rom and try with that.
I have a similar issue, and even more, sometimes once I am pressing the screen, the keys are starting to "dance" like the hero is trying to think which button to choose, by itself, and I am watching it, and smiling :-(
I've had it since SenseHero 1.5 and others as well. I just reinstalled the official htc rom and calibrated again the screen... but I am afraid the issue is still there, though less frequent...
Next week at the doorsteps of Orange I guess
Possibly is lag related?
Maybe the phones memory management is not working very well on the ROM you have installed and is causing large amounts of lag that the phone is interpreting touches (or not touches).

Possible, But with all the speed tweaks, task killer and stuff, maybe even the overclock widget that I started to use only after this issue appeared... don't know, have no idea how to solve it.
Now it is like beginning, with official htc rom, no additional apps installed neither contacts, and still, I have this issue.
Suggestion?
Got the exact same problem.
Almost exclusively buttons on the bottom of the screen and as you already said the right part of the keyboard (especially the goddamn backspace drives me nuts sometimes!).
It hasn't always been like this, started somewhen after flashing more than just Modaco I think.. And the severity varies a lot, sometimes I got barely any issues and then again I can't even finish an sms. Unnerving.
At htcpedia someone who obviously has the same problem pm'ed me his solution:
Your Problem with Screen
I had to wipe everything of.... installed the WWE original ROM, then re-root the phone and now working with Modacco 3.1, seems to be working ok now....think the problem was with LOX latest ROM.

I think - not sure - it startet with some lox rom for me too. Do you remember which Rom you were using when this first occured?
Well anyway, might give it a try.
I haven't tried it yet for 3 reasons:
1 - the link for the german version of the original firmware is down
2 - i don't have a windows computer, so the .exe is pretty much useless for me
3 - I'm way too lazy as currently it's not that bad
same problem
hye there, I seldomly post here..
But i got the same problem before... keyboard dances, hard to click OK... could not finish a sms without swearing F*** F***..
yep, its a hardware problem.. maybe its bcoz of the shape of the hero making its touch screen easily damage.. Not sure though..
flashed so many roms, to try to fix this problem.. thought it was a software issue.. but.... nothing..
went to HTC care centre.. and changed the touch screen (warranty, had to revert everything to stock) and now...
Good as New with Villain 3.4
hope this helps...
Oh thx guys. "Happy" not to be the only one with this issue. For starters I'll try the solution with the original rom. I think I still have some version of windows installed on one of my harddrives. If it don't work I'll have the screen changed. I'll report soon.

When you revert to stock Rom, do you need to reinstall a stock recovery as well? or is it automatic? because I reverted and when I try to boot into recovery with "power + home" I get a kind of error: the symbol of a triangle with an exclamation mark in it, and a phone symbol lies down beneath it.
Is there another way to go into recovery? or is it not installed actually? (I went back to the official RUU from htc site).
Thanks for the help.
Ok, I've just tried the solution with the stock rom. As a matter of fact, it does fix the keyboard-issues. However, some of the other random touch-input-issues still persist. I can't really see how this could be hardwarebased, since the same area on the screen works in other applications just fine.
The official rom from HTC completly restores your phone as it was when you got it. You'll have to install your custom recovery again, as you did the first time.
I had a similar issue.
A fix for this: VillainROM6.1-Full-signed.
Now, keyboard its ok.
Try it.
This sucks... out of the blue my touch screen went all kinds of screwy on me. I'm gonna list everything that is going wrong...
1. When sending a text I can see the letters along the bottom of the keyboard scrolling back and forth really fast, as if I'm dragging my finger across it.
2. When on any of the home screens, it's acting like I'm pinching it, like the new sense screen selector thing keeps zooming in and out but I can't select anything.
3. I can't select items on any of the home screens, it is action like I have my palm resting on it or something...
4. When I select something on a menu, it acts like the input is a couple of inches below my finger (i.e. I select power off, it selects turn off mobile network)
If I press the power button to turn off the screen, I can press it again and ulock it, I have full functionality for about 5 seconds, then it freaks out again. This seems to be consistent, however annoying to have to do this all the time to send a text message.
This first happened while using the latest ChronosDroid ROM (CronosDroid_2.1.2), I reflashed with VillainROM 12.0.0 twice, and once with the newer RCMixV10, the symptoms are the same accross all ROMs, the only similarities is that they're all v 2.1 with Sense. I did a wipe of everything before each install.
I am going to try going back to v2.0 with some other ROM (probably SenseHERO-2.1-090610-B5, cuz I liked that interface...) I'll post back if that fixes it... If it doesn't, what can I do? I really like this phone, I hope it's not busted...
***Edit***
Purchased new digitizer and replaced it, all is back to normal.
I had this problem with cronos froyo, wiped everything and flashed fusion rom 6.1.1 and hey presto, everything was fine. Try it it may work for you aswell if not, something more sinister may be at work :$
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
I'll give that a try. I had flashed to that version before to test it out, but that was before the screen was all messed up. I used the hard OCed version to 710, I'll try the SOC version this time and see if I have better luck.
I did flash with the aforementioned sense hero, and it is still a little bit messed up, but it doesn't seem as bad... I wonder if the OC from the Froyo is partly to blame. This is just so random... That is the only link I can think of. If the Fusion 6.1.1 is the cause, how can I make sure the CPU is back at it's default frequency? I never use any OC tools...
K, response is a little better but still jacked. I think I have a nand backup thing from before I installed Froyo, I've never had to restore a backup before, is it a bad idea to restore a backup from v2.1 on a 2.2 ROM? Or should I restore the backup and reflash to something else?
Restoring to a 2.1 from 2.2 will be fine mate, which Rom is the 2.1 you have as nandroid restore?

Unfortunately this is a hardware problem. I have the same problem and after searching for a solution, I understand that this is something about display's touch part and you have to return it to HTC to change it.
In my country there is no valid HTC center and I cannot trust lcal repair shops so I have to deal with it and change my beloved hero in near future.
But for now, after installing different ROMs I find out that the best keyboard is default HTC sense keyboard and I dont know why. Currently I've installed Froydvillain 1.2.2 and use HTC_mod keyboard and it almost works for me with a bit struggle.

Just do this yourself. You can buy the touch window off eBay for £25, and replacing it will take 20 minutes - see youtube for videos.
Have had same problems which then lead to the bottom 1/2 to 1cm of my screen becoming completely unresponsive. I managed to get my screen back to perfect working order without replacing it at all as this seems to be caused by the screen slightly coming away from the frame.
I detailed how i sorted it in this thread:-
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7710742&postcount=99
I had this problem with CMH-1.4.3 (Vanilla). I did a nand restore to VR12 but the same happened. Then I realised that the screen was a little up from his "standard" position let's say, if the screen is normally like this
______ <-screen
mine was slightly up (diagonally) at the top
_____-
I pressed the two upper corners of the screen with my fingers and everything went back to normal
Try this first, and then if you want, the Hairdryer solution
to all guys having the same issue, did you guys try to fully wipe & re partition your sdcard? try it & let see it still having same issue. best try do a clean flash of rom.

Interesting indeed. I did not see that my screen was raised at all. I have formatted, used a new microSD thinking it could be anything. When the screen goes wonky, I can set it on the table and it will continue to type in random characters until I hit the power button.
This isn't isolated to one area of the screen though, and pressing the phone together making sure the screen isn't raised does nothing to fix it. I think the digitizer is just going on vacation. Laying it down, it will keep typing in letters, if I hover my finger about 1 cm from the screen it will sense that my finger is there and interrupt the auto imput fuction that has been enabled, but doesn't stop it permanantly until I press the power button and unlock it again, then it all starts over.
I've taken the device apart and reseated everything and it didn't help. I think I'm going to take a chance and order a new digitizer from eBay. I really like this phone, don't want to have to get a new one.

Ah, thank you. Again wasn't sure if this was a bug in the rom, or I screwed up the hardware or something.
On a lighter note, I ordered a new digitizer from eBay for $65, got it in today and replaced it and it's back to 100% functionality!!!! w00t!! Thank you all for your help and suggestions, XDA is the best thing to hit mobile phones since the wheel! I'll update the title of the first post to notate that it is fixed.

Just want to say that same thing is happening to me last few weeks with same phone. Thing is, it didn't worked worse and worse, but it just worked well one day, and the other day it was terrible, and it still works equally terrible. I never rooted or flashed my phone and never sleeped on it so I think that's not the problem.
Hope you can help us..

Hey, I'm having the same issue with my Xperia Neo (MT15i). :crying:
My phone is nearly 2 years old. I have used Gingerbread, then ICS, Jelly Bean (Rooted-Cyanagenmod). I had no issue with the touch screen earlier. Since the phone performs bit slow on advanced android versions I decided to install Gingerbread again to make it faster.
From the day I installed GB again, I'm having this issue.
Gotta swipe about 4 times to answer or reject a call. (Even I do press power button to off the screen, then power button again only then swipe works)
Swipe about 4 times to unlock the screen.
Try the pattern about 4 times.
I believe it's a software issue. If it's a hardware issue touch screen should not be working at all right? The thing is, it only malfunctions like that for the first 4~5 touches when the screen turned on. After that the whole touch screen works perfectly.
I was using my phone rooted for a long time without any issue. This started when I tried to flash gingerbread again in last month. I flashed another gingerbread tft, but the problem still remains.
Today I flashed the kernel to FusioN v5.5 and installed MIUI 5, still the issue is there...

i am totally confused bro what to do!!! on a very day i went to a hardware technicians shop to solve the problem!! they said it may be hardware problem but did not say surely!!!!!!! i am looking forward a kind help from any expert of this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm having the same.i have tried anything but still same issue.
Hello people!
I had the same problem when 2 of my friends tried to pull the phone vigorously! -_-
I had to swipe 4-5 to get it to respond and the screen would act weird for another couple of seconds! -_-
Tried Factory Reset etc but still no use!
So I took it to the service center and they said it could be the digitizer(screen) problem but not sure, and that it would cost 4k for that!
Fortunately I had another problem with the sound setting on my phone so I gave it back to them to solve that at least. They flashed the phone with latest ftf(some GB ftf at the time) and gave back the phone saying they couldn't solve the sound issue.
BUT to my surprise/luck my screen prob was fixed! And I dint pay them a single pie!
So I think y'all should try flashing the Stock ftf, preferably ICS 4.1.B.0.587 and its Kernel
Here is the link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952333

P.S - I'm now running Super Jelly Bean 8.0 on SuperFusionNeoKK Kernel
To keep things simple, I had a cracked screen on the Ultra which was replaced last week. However now the phone screen is slow and unresponsive after about a minute of use (fast & like new after right turning on however).
Ive tried the mod tweak found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522657
As well as the thermal screen calibration here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470070
There is no change with either mode. Cleaning with alcohol only works for a few minutes, and yes Ive removed the ASF for no change.
It should be noted that when booted at first minute or two, the touch inferface is quick and brilliant. After a minute or so it gets slower and remains so. Typing a text is a gruelling affair at that point,
Ran 4.3 android and updated to 4.4.4 and also no change in performance.
Does anyone have any ideas/ tips or pointers?

Looks quite normal. RAM 1.1GB used; 600MB free.
Unless thats not what were talking about?
EDIT: might be up to something. using advanced kill on Go taskmanager EX and its seemed to do improve the situation in the short term. Will keep testing
Well got about that far thus far. The advanced kill works sometimes, but none of the apps look out of whack (from my basic knowledge anyhow)
Any help/ links in diagnosing a memory leak would be very appreciated.
Don't suppose you've got the Google now launcher? I had to uninstall as they introduced a memory leak in the last update.
Un updated it just in case.
Its tough as even watchdog lite isint detecting much. com.google.android.gms:snet at startup took 22% CPu but otherwise its steady.
Grr jezz I even did a factory reset to 4.4.4 and its still there. Would trying a custom rom help?
Well as an update manage to completely wipe and reinstall the OS. No change in performance however
Does anyone know if a faulty screen install could be to blame for this?

Could well be, but i find it strange that it acts normal again after a reboot? That alone indicates that it's something wrong with the software. I still hold a finger on a process gone wild. Do you have Recovery installed? If yes, re-flash the ROM or flash something else and see if that solves it. I would personally flash a stock ROM and flash it with Flashtool so you don't have to root or void any warranties, and it'll be the simplest thing to do in case the screen is still acting weird after flash, and you want to get it checked out again (since it most certainly will be a hardware issue at that point).
So, fire up Flashtool, download a complete stock ROM (TFT), flash it, test it. Is it working fine now? Sweet. Keep using the ROM. Is it still the same thing? Contact the repair center again and tell them what's up and please do tell them that you've already done a factory reset, since that's the first thing they'll do themselves. Do not tell them about Flashtool or any other hacks or tweaks. They'll probably blame you if they think that you're an XDA user. "Oh, so you've been playing with it, and you bricked it and wanna fix it for free, bla bla".
Ask if they can open the device again and check that everything is fine and that you haven't received a faulty panel.
Ive actually did a complete tft flash of the original xperia ultra software. No change whatsoever vs previous state.
Im increasingly suspecting a hardware issue. Could it be a poorly plugged in cable? Its random chugging/ smooth response is completely confusing...

Did you flash the exact same FTF that you've always used, or did you flash one from a different region? I would try the GPe ROM if i were you, just to be sure, but don't bother doing it if you're not rooted and ready to flash. Yes it can easily be a hardware issue, and you should probably contact Sony or your nearest service center.
As an update I tried installing a fresh tft flash of a different build but same issue.
Notably noticed that the notification light on the screen is not working at all, so currently looks like a hardware issue. Will keep updated for reference & visit a repair centre
