I have searched for solutions for the past 2 days but cant find one, if i missed it or this post is redundant , i apologize in advance.
Now my tilt is driving me crazy. It started last week when The touch screen wasnt working, but i fixed it by doing a couple of soft resets. then all the sudden, everytime i slide my keyboard out, the touch screen would stop responding. this went on for a day, then yesterday, when i tired to use the keyboard, the screen went blank, like the light died or something. but when i put it back on portrait, the screen would light up again.
A few moments later, the touch was responding, tried to use the keypad then the screen went blank..tried soft resets about 5 times and uninstalled all recent added programs (skyfire) ..finally the screen was working but the touch still wasnt working.
So this morning, i had the bright idea to do a hard reset....dumbest idea ever cos now its stuck at the screen where i have to "tap the screen to set up your wm device" and guess what..the touch screen isnt responding
plz i really need help with this. all so , i have a broken tilt.., well lcd screen is cracked...can i try to dismantle both tilts and replace the screens?
Ok, i used Code Factory's Remote screen alignment to bypass the alignment, but if i cant use the touch screen or the keyboard, the phone is pretty much useless for sending any information or making calls..is there a way to fix this?
I have had this same issue with my tilt. I could use the scroller on the left side of the unit to navigate but no touch screen. Both times that this has happened to me I removed the screen protector that I had on and restored a backup that I had on my storage card (I run a backup weekly). This has always fixed my issue. You could try another hard reset, not sure if that will help but do you get any lights on the keyboard when you slide it open? Is your tilt less than a year old because there is a manufacturer's warranty too.
Jim
when i slide the keyboard, i do get lights on the keyboard but not on the screen...it just goes dead..but when i slide it back in, the screen comes to life.
I cant do another hard reset cos i have to input the "1,2,3,4" code.
Also , the phone just got out of the 1yr warranty this month...awesome
I want to buy a replacement screen with a new digitizer but i need to be sure that is the problem.. ive searched for this keyboard problem but still have no answers
Now I'm having the same issue, touch not responding. I first noticed it about two days ago, when I slide the keyboard out, I could type just fine, but when I went to send the message the touch screen wouldnt work, so I'd close the keyboard and it would work. well yesterday it stopped working all together, so i used my d-pad and did a sprite restore and it started working again. But then On my way home i hit the lock button, and it stopped working after that, and I couldn't get it unlocked. I used the inner soft key to hit the first part of unlock, but then I couldnt ever figure which button to hit to get the on screen part of the unlock. So I had no choice but to do a hard reset, and just like highoct now I'm stuck on the stylus setup , and the touch still doesnt respond. does anybody esle have any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.
You can use the Code Factory's Remote screen alignment to bypass the alignment.
If the touch screen is the only problem, you can do one of two things if you are no longer under warranty;
1. Fix it yourself. You will have to buy a new Lcd screen with new digitizer at ebay and use this site http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_kaiser/ to open up your tilt and replace it
2. Send it to a repair shop, I had two tilts and sent the one with the broken screen to www.missionrepair.com got it back in a within a week, $89.00 plus shipping

I still have the same tilt with the original problem..havent found a solution yet
Oh yeah, I did manage to do a hard reset again, but now the screen is just white. I can hear the sound of it booting up but it still has a white screen. I tired going to the Bootloader screen ( Camera and power at the same time)...still have the white screen. I believe its a hardware problem but i don't know what it is...any ideas?
Ok now I've done a hard flash, using the same HTC kaiser rom 6.1 and it fixes the problem for a little bit, until the first time I slide out the keyboard , then the screen stops working again, any suggestions ?
iPhone 3G Screen Repair...finally an affordable answer
If you are reading this, you are most likely in the same dilemma I was in. I dropped my phone and picked it up only to find out that the glass screen was cracked. I took my broken phone to apple and found out it would cost me $199. I then was told about iPhone 3G Screen Repair. They offered the iPhone 3G glass screen repair for only 69.99. They repaired my phone the same day they received it. I was very happy with the repair!

I know this thread is a bit old but was searching d forum for possible solutions cos yesterday i developed the same exact problem on my kaiser for no apparent reason!..flashing it hasnt helped and now im stuck on the wm setup screen..when u say u still have the same tilt with the original problem do you mean that the repair was unsuccessful? have you tried reparing it yourself? Thanks
I just started to have the same problem, it started out with the touch not responding (which a few soft resets fixed) and now the whole screen doesn't function unless i slid out the keyboard or if i jiggle it around and open it a couple of time i can usually find a spot that allows the screen to function with the keyboard closed. If i leave it in this position for about an hour the touch starts responding again, wtf. This is very inconvenient because as soon as you move the screen even just a little it will take me like half an hour to find the position which allows the phone to function.

same thing happened to me 3 days ago. touchscreen has just stopped responding.
it still worked when i slided my keyboard out, but only when it was out. then i realized it won't work at all (!) after soft reset. however, i could make it work again like that when i did the soft reset with the keyboard out. weird.
i tried searching, and decided to make a hard reset, flash a new rom, etc, etc., but no more touchscreen. at all. the device doesn't feel any touch in any case. nothing. i bypassed the beggining tap here with the storage card trick. (i've read it somewhere on the forum).
now i can only use my kaiser with the hw buttons, the keyboard, and that's it. no touch. really weird. please if anyone has any updates, solutions, anything, post. sniff sniff
mine doesn't have anything on the screen unless i slide it out, if i have it closed anymore, it just doesn't work at all.
try this:
ive just replaced my barely functioning lcd by myself, after living with it sometimes registered the stylus jumping around when i used the stylus. but before you change your lcd, here is a couple of tips for you guys:
1) try sliding out the keyboard. hold one finger in the middle of the keyboard and another on the back side of the phone, and squeeze hard, but careful. it might be that the flat cable between the screen part and the main part has loosened a bit from its socket, this could help it back in.
2) try sqeezing the hang up button hard. this might help the lcd-cable correctly back in its socket if it is loose.
im saying that this MIGHT help, if youre lucky. most likely you have to open the phone and squeeze the connectors back in yourself, or actually change the entire lcd. anyways, let me know what works for you!!

well, i tried both tips, but they didn't work. i'd like to say a big thanks anyway!
then i grabbed the kaiser service manual and took my device apart into pieces. i reconnected pretty much all the cables and stuff, but still no touchy. any further ideas?
you should try replacing the screen. im happy to say that this screen from this seller on eBay worked for me: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250539984183

So I am wondering if any of the wonderful people here at XDA are experiencing screen issues with the nook color. I have had my unit about a week, and have had numerous episodes of the screen registering touches randomly. This issue is apparently not isolated as there are youtube videos and a B&N support forum thread discussing the matter.
So is anyone out there having any touchscreen craziness? If so are you doing anything about it? Not sure if I should return my unit and get another or wait for some possible firmware update...
As always any wisdom is appreciated!
http://nookdevs.com/Recalibrate_the_NookColor_touch_screen
Says at the top recalibrating will fixes "phantom touches" or inaccurate touches, or not respond to reasonable touches.
Mine was doing the same. I bought a screen protector and so far it hasn't happened.
My screen wasn't having "phantom touches," but at times I would press near the top and bottom edges, it seems to not be very responsive there. For example, pressing the search button in the marketplace that's at the very top right. Or pressing one of the buttons at the bottom menu.
I wiped my device back to factory and then did the latest Auto-Nooter, and started using Go Launcher. Things are much better now it seems. I think it may still happen occasionally though.

Not just the phantom but inaccurate touches which sounds like yours, atm thats all ive seen about fixing screen stuff.
But other threads have been started where others have the same problem on the outer parts of the screen so it could be a Firmware/Hardware problem.

works for me, in that the process completes, but the touchscreen is the same. The sensitivity issue at the edges is universal and very frustrating.

Its a common problem. I had the same. Unfortunately your touch screen is dying. Replace.

Welcome to the club, apparently some people fixed it by warming their phone, putting it in rice, or replacing their digitizer.
i have another kind of problem: sometimes the screen begins it's own life, like somebody quickly touching it (solves with on/off button).
And sometimes i touch it in some point, but it thinks, that i touch it in another.
Disappointing, but not annoying.
well it seems to be working fine now

Got the exact same problem, send it for repair. Apparently they found corrosion in my internals, though I really have no idea how liquid got in there. There is no spillage or any sort happen to my phone.
Oh well that means goodbye to my Milestone and back to stone age for awhile.
I had this same problem a week ago, and it happened all day long. It happened that my screen was wet (don't ask me how, I don't know), and now it's working just fine
Well if your touchscreen are not responding well to your touch, or if you feel that a ghost has been playing around on it (eg. "like somebody quickly touching it"), then it's a symptom that the touchscreen is faulty and it's time to replace the digitizer or buy a new phone
I faced the same problem sometime. In this case, reboot the phone may fix this problem.
If it doesn't work, I think you have to replace the touch screen.

+1
Had one issue like this in 3 months, 1/5th from the top of the screen wouldn't respond anymore, no matter the program. The issue went away after rebooting the phone.
I am facing the ghost touch problem or the right side is not working at all. First time, it started on it's own but last night, while it was connected to the PC the nightmare began. I don't know what the heck should I do, because I don't have money to spend on new digitizer. Last time the problem was solved by letting the phone in a dry place (it wasn't dropped in water or so). I hope this time will work too... BTW, pressing the on/off button seems to fix the issues for ~3-4 seconds. Anyway, Moto sucks .

Are you sure this isn't the flex cable problem?
If it is the flex cable problem, where can be found to buy and replace? Because I am sure that is less expensive than replacing the whole digitizer.
I had the same problem, but it's more than a month that I recharge battery with a Samsung wall charger (700mAh power), it completely desappear.
One week ago I charged the battery with the USB cable and the problem reappear, desappearing only after a reboot.
It's NOT a flex problem for sure, our phone is very susceptible of current variations when charging. If the problem still remains after unplug and reboot, I suggest to try with another battery.
Ok, so I broke the screen on my Nexus One. These things happens. I ordered a replacement screen, and thanks to numerous online guides, I (thought I had) replaced the screen.
Now, I guess that some other parts of the phone might have become damaged, but I doubt it. The phone seems to work. The touch buttons light up. The unlock gesture gives a slight vibrate. So does the volume rocker when I (seems to) reach the top/bottom of the scale.
But the screen itself doesn't show any response. No backlight (should I be able to see that). Nothing. What could I possibly be missing, I've gone over everything three times, but can't see nothing wrong. I've checked all the connectors everywhere. Somehow I get the feeling I'm missing something obvious....
Are you sure you bought an amoled screen replacement and not the slcd screen? That would cause such an issue.
Or maybe he needs an SLCD screen and not amoled..
I was going to ask if your wifi and bluetooth still work but i suppose you cant really test that yet...
I replaced my digitizer last week and now the phone works fine apart from the Wifi, Bluetooth and the charging pins for the dock at the bottom. LAME!
Maybe two Months ago I replace the full Housing on my phone is no easy task but not too difficult either. Check if you didn't ripped any of the flex cables and if the cables are connected properly. I have a long history of replacing housings and my best advice is to do again make sure you have time.
Exactly the same issue. Did you find a solutions?
I too had a broken screen. So, I ordered one from ebay and replaced it.
Now, it screen does not turn on though the icons at the bottom of screen switch-on.
I can here the sound when volume rocker is pressed.
Also, I believe that the touch is also working as I can hear the unlock sound when I swipe my finger across the screen.
Did you find a solution to the problem? Did I make some mistake or the screen is faulty?

Just months after the Nexus One was released, Google announced that the AMOLED Company "Brightstar" fell short of displays and was unable to produce more displays for HTC, so they decided to move to Sony to make the displays, To determine whether a phone has the AMOLED or SLCD display, The internal sticker on the back side of the screen assembly can be examined; part number 60H00443-03P indicates SLCD and part number 60H00287-00P indicates AMOLED, and as i mentioned, the AMOLED screens are gone so finding a replacement for that model would be merely impossible. I was looking around and thought that i may of found a fix to this, see, the HBOOTs on the devices are both the same except the top code of the screen that determines the screen type, if you were to flash the SLCD HBOOT, you might be able to retrieve a working screen, well its probably worth the gamble anyway since you probably are not going to find a replacement in a while.
EDIT: And after moments of posting, i found a AMOLED screen seller that will ship to Europe! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Scree...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d06825672
Dude, I dropped my n1 and shattered the screen almost 2 years ago. Bought a replacement screen and tried to replace out on my own. Needless to say, it didn't go so well, my n1 was is a paperweight. Good luck man! I miss my working n1...

If I get a call while the phone is in my pocket, the touch screen is unresponsive.
The screen will become responsive again if I press the power button (causing me to ignore the call).
I've been having this issue with the phone for a long time now (ever since I bought it, I think), and I know now that this phone is not the only one to suffer from this issue but haven't found any solution.
I know for a fact that it is not related to defective screen or "problematic" screen protector.
Has anyone suffered from the same bug, and if so did you find a solution ?
