My Tilt was working fine while I was listening to music over my bluetooth headset. Suddenly the display went black and I am not able to get it back. I cant even see the startup screen with the AT&T logo. The phone is working perfectly fine and I am able to play music, send and receive call and connect it to my PC and see the display on my computer through MyMobiler. One thing I noticed is that I can see very very feeble display on my screen without any colors. I ordered a replacement screen and placed it on my own but still the same behavior. I cant go to AT&T as it got an unlocked phone and have voided the warranty since I opened it to replace the screen.
Any help or guidance from experts of this forums would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Shashank
You probably tried this already, but just incase....but did you try to turn up the backlight setting (Settings->System->Backlight) and see if that made any difference?

I tried it already but it dint help. Also the display setting take effect only once yo phone has crossed the startup screen. Dont know why I am not getting any display even on the very first startup screen.
Sounds like a bad backlight
No solution yet
Me and another guy are going through the same thing. So far, no answer has been found to our problem. I also bought this phone thinking all it needed was a new screen, come to find out after I replaced it that it was doing the same thing. It seems like this problem only effects a very small percentage of Kaiser users.
Ok, this might be the first real problem I've had with my tilt, in a sense that I have no freakin clue what happened or how to fix it. The front buttons on the tilt as well as my keyboard decided they wanted to stop working and I have no clue how to bring them back... let me start from the beginning.
I installed m2d about 2 weeks ago, its kind of laggy but I'm still impressed with the overall UI as it compliments the tilt. Some bugs started popping up here and there but through the forum I was able to make it run relatively smoothly. Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts together. Than today my screen would wake up for no reason, with no programs or application running in the front or background of the device. It was annoying to say the least. Than I got my first text of the day and went to respond using the actual keyboard, no dice. No response from the keyboard. So as Im typing using the stylus I tried to delete something, and the backspace button on the touch keypad isn't working, so more problems. I want to try and hard reset the device to see if that fixes the problem, but since I can't use the hard buttons on the front of the device I can't hard reset (the scroll wheel, ptt, and ok buttons aren't working either) Is this anything anyone has ever heard of? My tilt is kind of battered after a year of use, but nothing significant has happened within the last month to make me think that something inside came loose, especially since this just started today and it was just sitting on my table all night. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks in advance.
might be "m2d" not compatible ... hair wired ..
I wonder ..whether we can install window CE from pc to h/p through usb link ...
"Last night my tilt wouldn't connect to my computer, the usb contacts might have gone bad or something, it only works when I put pressure on the cable to keep the contacts"
r u using original usb cable ..b'cos now a day I saw many only using normal "small" usb cable head which easily spoil the connector at phone ... too loose for that sharp..

@kaiserII...your usb is whack, haha. that **** made me laugh.
having same exact issue
ya it happened to me sunday night, having exact same problem. keyboard doesnt work, and my front buttons dont work exept for the the center button which ends up opening the start menu (wrong command). Im over my 1 year warrenty and not sure what to do. Had to buy a cheap 40 dollar nokia for the time being, please help if someone can. Oh and I did a hard reset, and it didnt fix anything. Booted android with it and 1 out of 5 times the buttons came back, this is really weird/vexing.

Exactly the same thing has happened to me!! Coming on randomly, draining the battery really quickly and the same keys doing the same things as yours i.e. nothing or Start menu. The backspace and space don't work on the on-screen keyboard either. Is it the end of the road or has anyone the slightest idea what the hell to do!?!?!?
Same issue but slightly different
2 days ago I started hearing a noise from my phone that was not something I normally hear. After checking my phone I found out it was the voice recorder program opening up on its own. It started repeatedly doing this and recording automatically. I had to hold down the close option (X) and before it would stop. AFter a reset and when the phone wakes up it always does this now. Along with all these whacky problems my hard buttons stopped working. My scroll wheel and D-pad sometimes work and only the up, down, left and right arrows work on the keyboard. Camera button seems to work sometimes also. All others have stopped responding. Except for holding the power key. I just reflashed my phone to latest phoenix ROM and problem is the same. Is this it for the phone or is there a fix.
Anyone??? Please!!
Try this free fix
I had the same problem as the original poster. My fix was to download AE Button Plus trial and use it to reset my keys to their original setting. I did not have to do the keyboard, just the external keys. Now my tilt works like it used to.
This fixed the problem when clear storage and reloading roms did not.
It doesn't hurt to try since the trial is free.
Good Luck,
Will
same here... help pls...
any one yet has found a solution for this issue??? 2days ago my Kaiser suddenly started with same problems, buttons dont work and the recorder goes on, any one yet found a way to fix it??? thanks...
I have no idea if this will actually help anyone but I installed japanese input on my kaiser once and during the process a registry got edited that stopped my hardware keyboard and the hardware keys (front keys) from working and the fix was to correct the value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010411]
edit the 0010411 value to "00000409"
again I have no idea if this will help but it wouldnt hurt to check to see if the registry somehow got changed. Goodluck and I hope you guys figure it out.
didnt work...

Any idea how to fix it??

Greetings from Olsztyn Poland
Unfortunately, the problem returned it was only a temporary improvement, sorry
For my tytn2 after rom upgrade, the front buttons do not respond except the central one. the side buttons are responding under the win only but in the bootloader screen they don't respond. and I cannot make a hard reset.
I did a hard reset through the setting menu but still the problem has not been solved. Adding on that the keyboard doesn't work except the arrow keys.
Do anyone can figure a solution for that. except the hardware problem bec I am out of warranty.
Did anyone was able to solve the problem fully?
oo wow, i have the same problem. hope theres a fix
adding to that the the bluetooth is turnino on by itself even if I switched it off and the device by itself after time of switching it off it refuse to start again unless I did a soft reset.
I tried all the avilabe suggestion but nothing worked.
Hiya
This seems to be a problem with the TyTn II - there are several threads in this forum about it, none of which have any working solutions that I ever found...
I spent ages trying different ROMS, Radios and pressing of buttons and haven't found a solution - other than to disown the TyTn II and get another phone! I did pick it up again the other day and it is still refusing to have working buttons or keyboard (as reported by others, only the central buttons seems to work all the time as a Start Menu button).
I did manage to stop it eating battery at a ridiculous rate by turning it to specific radio settings rather than letting it find its own GPRS/ 3G and phone band. I think it was in this thread
I was considering sending my TynTn II to HTC, but I'm not sure it's going to be worth the postage and their service fees as I've already replaced it with a Touch Pro 2. Then again if we ALL sent them in, they might acknowledge some sort of problem with this model.

Hi Guys
I've been having some serious problems with the screen on my X1, most of the time now the screen doesn't respond to me tapping it, alignment is a waste of time.I'm wondering is there something I can do to fix it or will it simply be a matter of returning it. I'm in my last few months of a 18month contract and based on my recent experiences I doubt I will be getting another x1 (or even x2)
Thanks
Simon.
Exactly whats happened to mine! Its my 3rd X1 now and O2 cant (wont) fix it. Its a terrible phone. I cant use it now and you know what, I dont care, I would rather have a Nokia 6310.
Ive had every problem going and Im careful with my phones. First one the screen died when opening, second one no one can hear me and now this. I have also had the usual cracks issue on all 3 phones. Even when the phone works the reception terrible and it hangs all the time. Never a sony Xanything again.
Alignment problems and touch screen problem
I just updated my X1 last week ( 02/17/2010, my phone it's 1 year old with no problem at all, before this ) and everything was OK. Then on sunday the screen wasn't aligned, and I started to aligned almost every hour. Then I realized that after sliding the keyboard, the touch screen was death (not black, but doesn't work the touch function) for about 40 seconds, and after that it works again ( opened and Landscape). I also need to align the screen very often.
Before this happend, I never aligned the screen, only when I updated the X1. Also, on last friday ( before the screen problem ) I installed the Youtube aplication for the X1, and gave me problems because it doesn't have a Landscape screen, and the X1 crashed when I slide it, then I had to reboot it.
After this problem I started to have problems with my X1 ( alignments and death touch screen with keyboard opened )
Does some body have an idea to solve the problem?
Im sure this has to do with software or advanced settings like HKEY config.
Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem
but now, the problem is horrible
the alignement doesn t accept
when i touch the down list (call, contact etc...) the xperia open the Start bar

and it returns to normal after a while
what could cause this problem
i flashed many roms, with same result
It's not something either of you installed, but your hardware - either your digitizers are on the way out or your flex.
its hardware
yes, i can say its hardware. I have repaired many of them now.
Most of the time when its black/no touch screen response its the flex cable.
somehow the cable damages very easy when opening/closing it.

Have try this?
1. Use a registry editor
2. Navigate to or search for:
HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/PressureThreshold
and
HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure
(eg search on "pressure" and you'll find both)
3. Edit the values to any VERY VERY high value such as 999999999 (nine 9s)
*** CAUTION: do NOT change either of these fields to anything less than about 2000
because if you go low enough you will make your touchscreen unresponsive,
at which point it's tricky to change it back (learned the hard way)
Do I welcome aboard?
I have the same problem now and before I read this thread, I formatted my X1 cos I thought that problem was caused by software. Now I am sure it's about hardware. Have to open it soon
are you sure it's an hardware issue?
for me it started today after hard reset...too bad!
Well screen problems in Xperia are mostly caused due to the loose flex cable. Mine had the same problem. At times the screen would work and sometime the screen would not appear. But if you want to open your X1 and have a go at it yourself then do so.
I managed to fix my flex cable without causing any damage *phew*
If you have nothing to loose then give it a try and see if you get lucky.
Hi everyone...
I've been having problems with my Galaxy S since yesterday. After upgrading to XXJPM my display is rotated 180 degrees (completely upside down). Strangely enough, the touch interface seems to be working just fine.
For example, the "Phone" icon is supposed to be on the bottom-left of the screen. It is now displayed on the top-right corner (again, upside down) but in order to activate it I still have to touch the bottom-left corner right on the icon's original position.
The display is also rotated 180 degrees if I enter recovery or download mode, but the volume up-down buttons still function as is. There are times when the display will appear normal for a few seconds before rotating itself 180 degrees again.
I followed the installation steps to the letter, did everything properly, I even searched just in case other users had similar issues, but I still haven't found a fix yet (really sorry if I missed similar threads). I also tried calibrating the g-sensor, but that didn't solve the problem.
Auto-rotate works perfectly, but the screen is still upside down no matter which way I rotate the handset. The same goes for when auto-rotate is off.
Any thought will be highly appreciated. I'm also willing to make a small donation if necessary. I'm desperate for a solution

I did, but that didn't solve the problem. I think it has something to do with the bootloader since during startup the screen would show the normal Galaxy S logo correctly for about one second and then the display is rotated. Even the download/recovery interface is flipped.
The Good and the bad
Good news first: you are not the only one have this problem.
I have same problem after updated Nordic v. Froyo.
Bad one is I haven't got a clue how to sole the problem.
Let't belive ours has special talent which can jump twice more that ordinary ones.
try reflashing with one of the roms that has a bootloader included. search around not all do.. i know the jh2 for i9000m has bootloader..

Tried this, didn't work too. I also tried Tayutama Edition rom, actually it helps a bit. After finishing the sdcard scanning routine the screen would work just fine for quite a while before going straight back to being rotated. It is also still upside down during the entire boot process.
Found another interesting discovery. Still using Tayutama firmware, if I switch the Power-Saving Mode from Display settings off and on, the display will be reverted back to normal.
I wonder what's causing this issue in the first place...
Tried another fresh rom, still no improvement...
I attached a picture showing how the screen is upside down even in download mode. Notice how the USB port and the download mode triangle just don't match.
Any further advice would be highly appreciated
Solved Mine!
Make sure Galaxy lie FLAT(back of galaxy isn't flat)
Setting-Display-calibrate
Mine worked that way hope yours too.
Now landscape to potrate turn like cream
but added bonus is landscape turn either ways .
what a great addition.

I'm glad you fixed your Galaxy S though. Quick question: did you have the screen upside down during the Galaxy S logo animation on startup?
It seems diffren kind problem
I am sorry that my solution did not work for you.
Mine did work few hours after down load Froyo.
Then problem began.
Have you tried factory reset then calibration?

I have another Galaxy S in hand. The broken one still has its screen upside down. I was wondering if I can backup the bootloader and ROM of this new Galaxy S with the system working correctly to the broken one. Will that be possible?
As always, inputs are welcomed
Thanks wonbad!

Thanks! I had also problems with auto rotation, did even factory reset but did not start to work until made calibration you mentioned.
I've tried virtually anything to get the display fixed, including doing a complete rom backup of a healthy Galaxy S, and the display is still rotated. I think it really is a bootloader problem.
I took it to Samsung service center here in Bali. They said they can fix it, but they won't because I got the device in UK and I need to take it to a service center in the UK to get it fixed. Crazy...
A quick Note
==========
Just to make it clear, for any future reference, display rotation if shown when it is powered off and charging and also while booting, this is most probably a hardware issue, this can ONLy be achieved by replacing the LCD (or doing a hardware repair of the LCD) it has nothing to do with sensors or software.
Thanks.
Suddenly my xperia Z3 compact's Home button, back button or even the button which shows the background apps is not working. Although these buttons work perfectly when the device is locked which means nothing is wrong with the touch screen/display (at that time the call button, lock button and camera button are displayed respectively). But I don't understand why these buttons aren't working when the device is unlocked. I've already tested on "safe-mode". It didn't work. Then I flashed the device using flashtool and reverted back to kitkat. But still the same problem persists. I have attached two pictures so that you can understand my problem. Now someone please help me out.

Odd issue
Did you wipe anything with Flashtool?
I have a similar issue. I think it's a hardware problem.
You can try the service tests menu (type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer), but maybe it won't detect any problem since the affected area is in the navigation bar.
I believe your phone recognizes touches in that area when the device is locked simply because it is possible to unlock the phone by swiping up starting from points a little higher than the area where the navigation bar is placed.
The complete description of my problem is in this thread, and I've also found someone who posted screenshots too.
I've attached some screenshots of my phone (using service tests menu).
Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet, so I'm thinking about sending it to repair.

btw....Using "Glove mode" helps a bit.....I just don't get it what's wrong in normal mode?
And I've rooted the device....used Gravity box to tweak the navigation bar. I've increased the navbar height from 100px to 110px. So. now it works somehow but only in horizontal mode. In landscape mode it's the same as before. And this thing not works when I'm running any apps. So, It's become kinda irritating to use any apps and lately the right side panel of the status bar has also stopped working. I just don't get it!

Yeah, Unfortunately It's a hardware issue.....I went to the service center today and they told me something like the Digitizer should be replaced meaning the whole display should be changed. As I've got no warranty, that leaves me with no choice but to spend a whole lot of money right now
I want to answer like "you have 1 centimetre screen protector or something?" but you already repaired your phone. Hope your phone will be better and your money spent is paid off with a great experiences. And i also hope your waterproofness will not gone after repair.:banghead:

Root your device. Install Resolution changer. Open it, leave the width value same, and the decrease the height value, it will make the back key panel null, and your back key position will change. you can use touchscreen smoothly with no problem, even in any app or video player
i have the same problem. Then i use the phone horizontally, everything is ok, anywhere on the screen responds my touch. I think it is a software problem.
Same problem
Inviato dal mio GT-N8000 utilizzando Tapatalk
facing the same problem second time...
This is still a problem for me. I believe it is a software problem. I tried the screen on a game that uses the screen, Piano Tiles 2. The game menu is at the bottom of the screen, right where the Home/Back button is supposed to be. But on the game, this area actually works. Whereas if you exit from the game, that same are-- that same area where it doesnt have a problem in-game-- no longer works when interacting with the sony OS.
What gives?
I also tried updating software, a different launcher, and nothing worked so far. Its been months now and it seems to be deteriorating.
I have the same problem, too. I think it is a software problem, because in the lock screen there is no problem. Using the buttons, in horizontal mode with Sony logo on the right, works.
I'm using official 23.5.A.1.291
It seems there are a lot of devices with this issue (mine is one of them)

I sent my phone to the assistance last week, I've just received the confirmation it has been repaired but at the moment I don't have any report.
I'm asking myself if this kind of issue could start again in the future... when the warranty will be expired
If any of the capactive keys ( Home, Back and Menu ) buttons don't work. The Z3 Compact has soft-keys so you could try either of the two:
1) Flash a clean ftf, wipe everything. If it works after this it was most likely just a software bug/glitch, but if it still persists..
2) Its most likely a hardware issue related to the digitizer, you could either send it to Sony if you have warranty, or get it fixed by Sony or a black market fixer if you want to save some cash
Good luck

If any of the capactive keys ( Home, Back and Menu ) buttons don't work. The Z3 Compact has soft-keys so you could try either of the two:

In your opinion isn't quite strange a lot of users have the same issue in the same range of time? This make me think to a bug, not to an hw issue.
Furthermore now also the Z3 seems to have the same...

A solution that worked for me
Hi,
I'm no expert but the following worked for me.
It seems an app was installed or upgraded that invisibly smothered the screen and prevented interaction.
1. Goto Settings / Apps / Settings (cogwheel) / Draw over other apps / Change all the apps to "No".
2. If you have installed the "Back Button" app, goto Settings / Accessibility / Back Button / Turn off.
The above got it working again - just.
Then goto Settings / Display / Glove mode / Turn on.
Worked a treat. Good luck.
