I don't know what happened but last night I was on my bed using Opera and the touchscreen just stopped being accurately or responding to my touches. I thought it was nothing so I turned the phone off and did the screen alignment however the problem comes back after a few minutes.
It's not that the screen isn't sensing my touches, its that its always either too far down or too far up. So i'll be clicking on calender to get to my call history. I always have to keep doing the screen alignment and sometimes that goes into a loop where I have to do it 10 times before it works. Then after a few minutes the problem creeps back up.
Help me, is my phone stuffed? I even removed the screen protection and nothing works it seems.
And now the alignment is far too up so I can't press phone, contacts or send. Goddamn.
Could be a problem with the touchscreen, or perhaps you haven't mastered using the touchscreen. I sometimes have problems pressing tiny areas on it. If it works with the stylus without problems then it's fine, otherwise it sounds like the touchscreen is faulty.
No I've been using this phone without any problems for the last month and a half since I got it. This problem just suddenly came up.
I am with Three Australia, is it under warranty or free repair?
Anyone? This is getting annoying.
Bump again sorry.

hi,
newbie in this forum and newbie in using a phone running an operating system. please help.
bought the phone in late June 2008, received it before the month ended, installed TomTom Navigator 6 on it and tested the various hotspot around my place, happy with it and stashed the phone on a safe place in the closet as T-Mobile don't have 3G service. then last week I decided to get an ATT plan (can't stand the iPhone 3G ad) so I can tasted the blazing HSDPA speed.
last week on Wednesday I use the phone as a GPS to get me to a hotel I'm staying near the White House. it got me there no problem. then the next day, the horror started. I was trying to plot a walking course to many of the nearby "stuff to see" and the phone just sits there saying that it can't get a valid GPS signal. then I tried to go to Google Maps using IE. the screen started scrolling, literally scrolling, then when it stopped, whatever usually on the top ended up in the middle of the screen, the bottom ended up on the top, and the screen was "split" in 2 with the edges staying dead center. so I thought, ah, this phone is just too tired, it ran out of memory (as all windows always does ignoring how much ram you put, at least in my experience), so I press the power button to let it do the light sleep. when I turned it back on, the phone seems to work the problem out and I tested it by going online.... guess what, the screen started scrolling again and even adding "I can play dead". the screen is not responding to anything (touch, tap, swipe, rotating the scroll wheel, pressing the buttons) beside the power button that seemed to turn the display off. when I turned it back on, the screen just gives off some light on the sides, but that's it, the screen is blank. taking out the battery doesn't even fix the "blank" screen thing. the device seemed to work out the problem after I left it unused for about 2-4 hours, but then it started again when I tried to do anything (all I ever do with my Touch Cruise is going online via wifi and/or att data plan, plus using the phone as GPS).
even after resetting the phone to a factory default doesn't help (did it this morning via a representative guidance). so I'm stumped. within a week, the phone basically broke, then how about another year? will it become bits and dust?
anyone can give me advise? one representative I talked to said that I can get a replacement for the phone but the last one I talked to said that HTC only have an option of repairing the phone but not replacing one.
thank you to all who reads.
Really weird.
Try to get replacement, if not possible, get it repaired.
If hard reset / factory default did not help... It does sound to me like malfunctioning device.
On the other hand... is it provider locked device or unlocked one?
I guess it's unlocked, but I'm bit confused since you mention both T-Mo and AT&T...
I do hope that there's original ROM on it...
For what it's worth, my XDA Orbit II has just developed the exact same fault. I tries soft and hard resets, re-flashed with 6.5 rom and then a 6.1 version, all to no avail. It goes through the boot sequence and asks for a screen calibration - if you ignore the scrolling screen and tap in the right places, the calibration is accepted (which makes me think it's not the digitizer. The screen itself seems to be fine - no missing pixels, cracks, - it displays everything it should only with a constant vertical scroll. If it had a vertical hold knob, I could fix the problem.
Really weird, it was working fine this morning and after sitting in its cradle for a couple of hours it is now like this.
Any ideas as to how I might cure the problem would be gratefully received.
i purchased g1 from ebay, right from day1 the screen does not respond properly in fact most of the times. i need to reset soft one to at least g1 working. i upgraded to jesusfrake adp1.1 but issue is same. looks like a s/w bug or problem as if it were a h/w problem it would not have worked at all. if iam lucky it works like a charm but stops responding once i get some sms/email alert or install any app from market. can someone help here!!
Have you already tried reflashing the firmware? If not, do that. Otherwise, why don't you contact the person you bought the phone from. It sounds like it may be a hardware problem which might be why that person was selling it.
i did flash everything from bootloader to firmware to rooting. but problem remains same...it works for 5 minutes and again screen stops responding but trackball is active....right now iam on latest JF formware..
is anyone facing a simillar problem??? any work arounds....
Sometimes my home screen goes completely blank on me and seems nonresponsive for about 30 seconds. Can be pretty annoying. It seems to happen when I'm switching from an app to the home screen.
Contact HTC directly and ask for an exchange or something. All G1's have been out for less than a year and so they should be covered by warranty.
I put a new screen protector on my G1. I noticed that it had a bad reaction with the touch and I took it off. After I took it off, my touch screen got much worse. It was very jumpy and unuseable. There was a practically invisible film on the screen (couldn't even really feel it. I took a little bit of soap on a lint free cloth and wiped the screen down and let it sit for just a minute (to soak any residue) and wiped away. My screen worked perfect after that.
I was ready to call in for a replacement.
could it be a bug as if it were a hardware problem it would prevent touch screen responding at all!!!
i downgraded to rc 30 and rooted the phone, now its working like a charm!! strange though.......
Hey, so I have this weird problem with my G Flex 2.
I got it around 40 days ago from U.S. Cellular.
I have run into this problem about three times now, and from what I can remember it always happens when I have music playing. I tap the screen on to the lock screen then let it go to sleep or turn it off myself. When I wake it back up the screen is all black except for a few millimeters on the top, where I can see some display.(*note, this doesn't happen every time)
I am able to scroll through the display but no pop up menus. Since the battery is sealed off in the back of the phone I can't use that fix, holding the power button only brings up the menu option to turn off the screen which doesn't do me much good since I can't use the screen.
If I wait for 5 minutes or so the phone will right itself, but I don't want this to be a persisting problem. I'm not sure if this problem is tied to the music playing, it hasn't happened when it isn't playing, but I play music on my phone quite often. (note* I am playing the music from my phone, not streaming)
If you need more info I'll do my best to provide it. This is all I can think of right now.
Honestly, I don't expect anyone to have a fix yet since the phone is fairly recent and not as popular. I tried looking under G3 forums since the UI is pretty much identical, but I didn't find anything.
Sorry, my post is a little wordy.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks
Yes, this has happened to me twice recently too. Once the screen was completely black except for a bright white line at the very bottom, but the phone was still responsive behind the dead screen. The other time there was a distorted/ghosty notification bar showing at the top but nothing else (like what you reported). Then the problem would resolve completely and spontaneously after resuming from sleep a few times. I have the Korean model (F510S) which was a gift so I'm stuck with it - no returns or warranty available.
bonebeatz1234 also posted about a similar problem. Seems like a hardware fault?
The replacement phone screen was fine i had a different issue of over heating and had to return it . I opted to get another device the note 4. Didn't wanna go that route bit had no choice i loved the design and ui of the flex 2. I wished lg would of just ditched the 810

Hi, I encountered same problem here.
Is anyone able to send me a screen shot or a video of this problem.
As I need to use this to prove the situation and claim warranty from the seller, however I didn't take a photo or something when the problem happened to me.
please sent to [email protected] if you have the photo or video and many thanks~
Just had this problem also had a g flex 2 for about 21 days now and it happened to me after a restart in the car with a pinkish line at the top and the phone was completely responsive even though the screen was blank
I think it might have to do with heat cause I held it by the ac vent while I was reading this board on my nexus and when I looked back at the phone it was working perfectly
But I swear during my time with the phone it heated up way more than this time and this time the phone wasn't even hot
I reset the phone like 3 times before I held it to the vent and it didn't help at all
Using the att variant with android 5.1.1
Have the same problem every now and then, found a recommendation on another website and in the instruction manual to reset the phone by holding down the power button and volume down button for about 10 seconds or to turn it off by holding down the same buttons for 20 seconds. I find what works better though is to just leave the phone alone and it corrects itself within about 5 minutes.
Having this same problem. Happens once every couple of weeks. Any updates on this?
I think that this is a heat problem....everytime i left my phone in the sun, it show me this strange error.
I'm not convinced its a heat issue. I looked at my battery chart the last time it happened and it was barely over 90 deg. It seems it happens to me when it is charging PLUS doing something like streaming music or GPS is on. I need to start taking notes. I should have done that before.
this have happened to twice too. weird anomaly.

Having the same random issue. Today it happened and reboot would not fix (it usually does) finally after about 30 minutes the screen came back to normal. I now disabled lock screen in case I need to get data off the phone from pc ? in the case that the issue becomes permanent.

although it's an old post, but worth to mention, that It can happen to all the LG Flex 2 models.
It is caused by a heat or inaccurate voltage. let me explain how it can happen:
heat - when you put the phone on the car's cradle under the car's front windows during a sunny day - it will happen.
voltage/heat - when you charge your phone and not using your original charger (eg chinese car chargers) - it will happen.
so what to do? I've noticed that putting the device over the cat's air conditioning , can reduce this to few minutes. also, if you can, mount your cradle over one of the air condition outlets and it will freeze your phone all the time
Hi,
I have this really weird stuff going on with my Nexus 5 screen. I cracked it a couple months ago and bought a legit replacement screen for it and installed it myself (glass, lcd and frame). I fixed it with good instructions and it worked properly for two months. However though, now when I take it out of a pocket and try to turn screen on, sometimes it just doesn't light up. It's still on and every button works but the screen doesn't turn on. I have to give it a light tap or two on the back in order to make it light up again. Same thing happens sometimes when I'm using the phone normally, the screen just goes black and goes on after tapping it couple of times. Otherwise the phone works normally like it did when I bought it two years ago and after running couple of tests with screen, everything seems to work from touch interface to the graphics card.
Tried looking it up, no results.
I've noticed that the front camera doesn't work for some reason (probably just broken) and the battery lasts in use only 2-4 hours which isn't that much of an issue since I'm looking for a new phone. I just want this one to last long enough till I buy a new one.
It comes up when tapping the screen or power button? It could be a power button issue.
The screen comes back on when tapping the screen or the back of the phone. The power button isn't the issue. The screen just goes black but nothing else happens. It doesn't turn off or go to sleep mode.
Strange issue. I've never experienced it and any problems I had were related to the power button.
Could it be a loose connection inside the phone? Maybe an issue related to the proximity sensor?
Thats actually what I've thought. I have checked the phone's insides twice and didn't see loose connections, and the problem feels like it's related to proximity sensor since the screen going black happens exactly same way that when calling someone or doing something else where proximity sensor shuts the screen. It's really weird though...
Huh, I took backplate off and unscrewed the motherboard cover and took everything apart and rebuilt it and now the problem is gone. Seems like there was just some bad connection somewhere.
Glad you got it to work without having to pay someone to fix it
So few months ago, I kind of broke the phone (fell from a certain height, screen cracked and body bent).
I got it fixed, however I've been noticing something.
The screen randomly stops responding. None of the touch works. I have to lock and unlock the phone for it to function. Everything else works perfectly.
I've done a factory reset (soft and hard as well) but the problem continues to persist.
I love this phone but this problem is really annoying and frustrating. Desperately need your help guys.
You must have got your screen replaced and seems it is duplicate screen now.
I have the same issue on my iPhone 5S. Screen freezes sometimes and works only after lock unlock and it is a duplicate screen.
