[Q] 1 inch vertical stripe of touchpad not working - UPDATE: Digitizer replacement - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A day or so after upgrading to Jokersax's 0.5.0 build for the Atrix with the Aroma installer, I've discovered that some of the letters on on the keyboard stopped working. Using Touch Test, I've confirmed that there is a roughly 1 inch vertical stripe of my touch pad that just does not register inputs.
Downgrading to previous builds or restoring previous backups of the ROM do not fix the issue.
Is there a chance that the touchpad calibration utility for Aroma caused a miscalibration of the touchpad? Or is this likely physical damage of some sort? I've already tried rerunning through the Aroma installer and recalibrating the touchpad to no good effect.
Any other suggestions from folks?
-----
Update: Solved by replacing the screen/digitizer

mines is doing the same exact thing. from what i have read on there your digitizer is going out. I ordered another one and it should be here today, once I install it, I will let you know if it continues to do this or not.

The digitizer is a common issue with the Atrix. Motorola went cheap on the Atrix.

Funny. I also started experiencing this last week.
How much did your digitizer cost? ( @ Quinto)

I just installed JokerSax 0.5.0 2 days ago as well, and today I have noticed a strip up the entire touch screen that is not responding to input. I too used Touch Test to confirm that there is a strip from the back key, all the way up to between 'OROL' in the word Motorola at the top of the phone.
This affects keys B H and Y when in portrait, and the entire qwerty row when in landscape with the usb port to the top.
I dont recall this happening before running Jokersax CM9 but it very well could have been..

got for $33 off of eBay. Here is the link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Motoroloa-Atrix-4G-MB860-digitzer-frame-/251030640695?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a72979837#ht_5015wt_754
It came yesterday and I am going to attempt to put it on tonight.

Thanks, and good luck. Keep us posted.

Somebody gave me a stock atrix with a similar condition, it was about 1/2 inch at the top and another 1/2 inch near the bottom (in portrait) mode.....so it's not the rom that you installed.
I too ordered a new digitizer off ebay....except mine cost $43 :-( i should have looked for a little longer...ohh well

I don't think it's necessarily a hardware issue :
The fact that it happened just after installing a new ROM is very disturbing
I have the same problem, and sometimes, with a new ROM, the problem disappears for a couple of hours, then my screen goes totally crazy, then the unresponsive strip reappears
Some people have this problem and a new digitizer didn't solve it
Is there any way that CM9-based ROMs overwrites some touchpad driver ? Does someone else could testify that it could be something else that the digitizer ?

Interesting idea. For the record though, I'm running pure CM7 RC 2. I have heard that the reason one might lose and then regain touch response is due to a hardwear connection/reconnection issue.
When this problem first began to occur, I would briefly retain touch response in the dead strip after rebooting. To test if this was a software or hardwear issue, I physically twisted my phone a few times and regained touch response temporarily, suggesting a hardwear response.
Just my two cents.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA

Anyone have luck with the replaced digitizer yet? I'm hoping to avoid ordering if that doesn't resolve the issue.

Ok, I broke down and bought the digitizer from ebay via the link that quinto0827 provided. I just installed it, and things are working great.

Off topic, where did you find cm7 rc2? All I'm finding is rc1 which is what I'm running.

I think the same thing.
I had the same problem with my Huawei Ideos U8150 after flashing Dronix 0.5 Rom.
In CWM I can see that the digitizer every 2 seconds it loose my fingers.

same has happened to me on my atrix. one perfectly straight line down the screen which doesnt react to touch. This line is moveable within the aroma installer calibration tool, which btw is what created the problem for me in the first place, after i decided to try the alternate touch option.. So yup, i agree too. I KNOW it was aroma installer that messed my atrix up.. SIGH...And i had just gotten it running top notch too..grrr .. btw that new touch file manager installed through cwm will also move this ghost line around, which could perhaps help some users navigate a little better on their touchscreen.. This is another point that suggests its not a hardware issue. Only other, worse thing i can think of is that the aroma touch installer played with the voltages feeding the screen, and did maybe blow something physically.....

Hey look at this... Just happened today and im so sad... Sometimes this solution in the link seems to work so it should be a hardware issue... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27595402&postcount=1

HTC hero touch screen doesn't work periodically

Hi guys, my Hero encounter the touch screen doesn't work periodically, sometimes it became no response totally, after a few days ,it works well, I think this may be caused by the static electricity, Is there anyone have the same problem? do you guys have some methods to solve it ? Do I need to change a new touch screen?
well i droped mine today and now i have the same issue but the strange part is that i just had a replacement screen and there are no cracks or anything else, so you can't see that it felt out of my pocket.
Hello I had the same problem.
I installed several versions of Android and nbh files.
The problem occurred with versions nbh for Froy version of Android.
As I had saved the versions that were tested. I tried to install previous versions where I knew the touchscreen worked correctly. In my tests with this file to the touch screen work again: kaisimg-panel2-320-24-05-10.nbh
I hope that helped
when you say not working properly, what do you mean? the a and l letters on the keyboard dont register unless I press the screen really HARD. so that aria of the screen is unresponsive
what does one do with kaisimg-panel2-320-24-05-10.nbh?

This has been discussed a milion times in the General forum.
Screen problems happen to a lot of Hero owners. Just send it to HTC fir a new screen. Don't forget to install an original ruu-rom on it.

I'm over the warranty. How can I fix it? does the screen need replacing? is the cord detached? whats the common issue of this happening? Whenever I touch my screen the notification bar drops down all the time.
i just purchased a old htc hero selling my spice mi300 i usualy get thr same problem in the lower part of thr screen may be i have to.just live with it as there is no warranty or insurance
I have had the same problem.
Mine is fixed within the warranty period.
But i have read something about failing Digitizers.
Maybe that's the problem?
See this topic:

You can buy them at Ebay just look for HTC Hero digitizer.
Below you find a link to the service manual:

Maybe you can fix it by yourself

Touchscreen Issues As Well...

Anyone have an issue with their touchscreen where there is a "dead spot"? I don't know how to describe it other than that. There is a spot if I touch it, nothing happens. It is right where the Accept and Download button is on the market in portrait orientation. It seems to be all the way across the screen in a horizontal line. Pixels and color are not affected just the touch effect. If i reboot, it goes away for a while. Switching ROMs makes no difference, happens on every one I have tried though, so it seems to be a hardware issue. Any help would be great.

If you had searched the forums, you would have come across this, which will solve your problem.
Also, it's not flashable so unzip it and put the apk on your phone, install it, then run.

Really? After about 1.4 seconds I had 4 touchscreen issue threads (including this one.) pop up after searching "touchscreen issue" in the "search this forum" bar. Did you fix your problem?
No go.
Well the HTC Calibrate app did not work. I must say that it did help for sure, but the same dead spot issue keeps happening. OK, so now I have begun to look at replacement parts on Ebay. So just to get this straight, it is the digitizer/front glass assembly that registers touch, correct? As I said, there are no missing pixels or colors, so does that rule out the LCD? Or should I but both to be on the safe side? I really want this issue done and over with, so help me get this thing taken care of guys. Thanks to all you guys for the help. Also, if anyone has a digitizer and LCD assembly for a good price, let me know.
I had the same issue where the bottom quarter of my e3d hboot 1.5 didn't work I didn't have insurance so I took it in and the sprint manager said I wasnt the only one with the issue it's a htc issue I tried the calibration on different roms bit it would only give you calibration on the top half of the screen, spent swapped it out and I got a new e3d with hboot 1.5 of course but at least the touch screen is working.....hoped that helped you out cuz I searched everywhere and couldn't find a solution.
I was toying with that idea. Will the "watermark" from unlocking a 1.50 hboot version be a problem? Obviously I need to unroot. And also, I bought this phone from an individual just a few weeks ago after I got my first one stolen, will this be a problem? Any other thoughts on taking it back to sprint?
Yeah, it is really weird, it is exactly where the "Accept & Download" button is when making a market purchase. So, yeah it sucks, I have to rotate it horizontal every time I want to buy something
I have been having lots of touchscreen issues as well. Tried lots of different roms and kernels but no luck. Someone suggested formatting the SD card. I haven't had access to a computer so i just removed the card about an hour ago to test and so far i haven't had any issues.

Slow touch?

I got my Titan today and the first thing I noticed was that the touch was a bit slow, nothing to really care about but coming from the iPhone I expected the same "tracking" but it ain't there. Anyone else feeling this?

You on 8107? Did you start out with a Fresh Install? Any apps that might cause this?
Probably Digitizer issue... If you got warranty with AT&T/UK/whoever replace it

Yes 8107, I booted the phone and I had a few updates available so I updated it completely (I don't know what firmware it was from beginning, but definitely Mango at least). I'm not sure what you mean with Fresh install, please elaborate.

Fresh Install as In... A Factory Reset.... Like its better to start out with a clean slate then to start using a phone that was already being used and had some caches/apps loaded onto it...
Its best to ruled out any software issues before blaming Hardware (replacement)
And the digitizer is definitely not faulty.

Basically if its lagging it would be software related... There's a delay from when you do something to when WP7 responses to it... I would suggest backing Up and doing a Factory Reset and see if it makes a difference.
Did you load up the phone with stuff? Supposedly there's an issue with AT&T models that lag when low in memory even if you don't have that model it could be related

if it's an ATT model, I won't be surprised. Plenty of issues heard in the past with earlier batches too.
Make sure your thumb is not touching the sides as the screen comes so close to the sides that i was touching it and not knowing it, which made it appear to lag or not press numbers to unlock and such. The easy fix for it was to get a hard rubber case which raised my thumbs up so they wouldn't brush the screen edges when typing.

I press the screen straight on with my fingers. Anyway, I might just be overreacting here but it definately feels like the touch is a liiiiiittle after, delayed or whatever you wanna call it.

Looking at your video it seems perfectly normal to me, None of my WP7 devices have ever been any better than your Titan, (2xHD7 and a Titan) Maybe it's just a case of getting over your last phone and adapting to the way Windows Phone works, Took me ages after win Mo 6.5
Hi ArtieQ,
I have the same feeling as you : the scroll doesn't follow immediatly the finger, compared to my Omnia 7 or my iPhone. I hope HTC will fix this with an update, but I'm dreaming...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one, because yesterday I was about to send in my Titan for warranty repair but later changed my mind. I really hope this is software related, but I think not.
I was also glad when I saw your post because nobody except you has noticed it. But if you look at any video of the titan, you'll see the problem is always here...

I found this thread as well: http://forums.wpcentral.com/phone-wars/184480.htm
I have both an Omnia 7 and a Titan and one thing i noticed on the Titan is that if I don't hold the phone with one hand and use the other for touch the screen lags and failes to register the finger at times. On the Omnia 7 I don't have this problem. The Titan might be worse either way but it's a huge difference when not holding the phone on my Titan atleast
It's easy to reproduce in some games... I get missed swipes (fruit ninja) or birds that fly when I am still trying to get the perfect angle (angry birds).
I was hoping for a firmware to fix this but didn't know if anyone else have a problem so havent bothered reporting it to HTC. I guess if we don't the wont know it's a problem?

Its got nothing to do with the OS if someone is wondering that! this is an HTC thing, evry phone from HTC have this, its just thay are not as responsiv as a Samsung phone or an IPhone, just look at HTC phone with Android its the same slow respons. if im not worng, this is an Screen issue, i mean an HTC issue HTC use on there phones.

I've flashed pretty much every ROM that has been released, and I really don't believe it is caused from a certain ROM. I have found in messing with several NTs and NCs that the screen will randomly have dead areas. A few times I have seen it get worse over time. It seems to happen more on NCs and is a known problem with them. Maybe revert to stock ROM and see if it still happens. If so, try to get B&N to replace it.

If you really really wanna be able to get it unlocked, Download the correct version of clockwork mod for our phone one that's not touch, has to use the volume rockers and fresh install the rom, Or as a matter of fact, Just boot into whatever recovery you have and clear data/factoryreset, that'll get rid of your lock pin
Hello from me too!
I have a strip on my touch screen that doesn't work. It's right where the Search button and Install on Play Store is and Clear on the Phone notifications, too.
It had the stock rom, I have replaced the screen with the digitizer when it fell down. It worked after that. I had to unscrew the phone one more time because my LCD was touching the screen and the phone had gone mad. After that, and a couple of days later, I noticed that the strip didn't work anymore. Today I finally flashed a new rom (King Cobra 3d) and nothing's changed so I figured it might be a hardware problem...
What's your opinion?
Thank you!

I've replaced my digitizer twice myself. I got a cheaper one the first time, and figure that's what I get for trying to go on the cheap. (I was out of warranty). Sorry to say it but it could be that again.

I think I don't have a warranty because I've changed it myself. It's my fault...
I think I'll buy a new one... I unscrewed it a while ago so I could see if sth had been misplaced or if the digitizer had scratches or sth like that.
I saw that the ribbon's top had been ripped off right where it bends on top of the LCD... Don't know if that's the problem...
p.s. I live in Greece. My carrier is Cosmote. We don't have Sprint here...
Yep, if the ribbon cable is ripped, that would be your problem. Don't go too cheap on your replacement. Good luck!

The last one I got from Amazon is the one I'm using now (about a month old), and spent $20 US on it, which was NOT the cheapest of them. Not knowing the exchange rate right off hand, would venture to say the one you're speaking of is not a "cheap" one. So go for it. Just take your time replacing it and be careful with ALL the ribbon cables. Good luck!
