After using my used Treo 750, WM 6, AT&T for about two months, it started experiencing the screen problem. Upon hard reset, the screen would respond to the first tap, and be almost unresponsive to the calibration. I had to press repeatedly very firmly. Went through a couple of hard resets and it didn't get better.
The screen would respond find for a while and then start working. I thought that I had it all taken care of and was working well yesterday until the afternoon rolled around. It started being unresponsive again. After a hard reset, it would respond to the first touch and then calibration barely worked.
Finally, I was able to get into it and installed Palm's Device Reset and ran it. It has since then been calibrating fine. I'm only using it bare bones right now and won't be able to test it more in depth until this weekend to see if the problem is resolved.
I did notice using SKTooks that the gwes.exe process was running at a high percentage while this was occurring, near 40-50 % when it is running at 0% now.
Any thoughts? ANyone tried the device reset at:

Treo 750 touch problem
Hi , I'm having the same problem wit my Treo . Did you solve your problem?

Hey Davidoff,
For quite a while, mine acted up, so much that I bought a used Wizard to replace it. Even after performing the device reset as I noted above, it would still be unresponsive at times, with the GWES.exe process (as shown by SKTools) running much higher.
For a while, I let it set without it's battery (perhaps a week) and then reinserted, fully charged it and immediately disabled ALL today plugins. So far, it has been running great but I'm very tentative to switch back to it as my primary phone, even though I love it.
I'm wondering if you can try disabling your today screen plug-ins, set the screen backlight to dim at one minute and the device to auto-off at one minute and see if this helps to resolve the issue. I'm curious as to whether any of those three combinations made a difference in mine, or have just bought time until it acts up again.
Anyways, I'd be interested to learn your results.

Help with Htc Touch Pro, it woke up with stupid

Srry title is supposed to say Help with HTC Touch Pro for sprint....it Woke up with a bad case of stupidity
So i wake up 2day and i find that my Sprint Htc Touch Pro's screen is like jumping around like crazy...the touch screen still works and all but it moves around non stop. i can still make out where lets say the all the button are so i can still find my way around the phone but its sooooo annoying. so i pressed the restart button on the botton hoping it would fix it and when is turns back on it just goes 2 a blue screen. so i pressed the button again and now a green screen which soon turns white. pressed again and not its a black screen with the logo Touch pro on the bottom and the red little numbers and letter on the top...(the Touch Pro logo is usually in the middle and the Numbers and letters on the bottom....) so it finally loads up and the screen is still messed up. so i went crazy, i got home from school and i saved all my contacts but coping the Pim file to my 1gb memory card and did the clear storage to once again hopefully fix everything. well it didnt but atleast i still hav my contacts. ha ha...(im laughing so that i dont cry) everything still work though, i can send txt, talk on the phone, and do everything else....but cant see anything cuz he screen is jumping around. and no im not an imbecile and messed up on the modding and messed the phone up...or else it would done this a looong time ago.... so any help will b soooooo helpful. oh and i took out the battery and put it back in the still doesnt fix anything. sometimes the screen stays blue and doesnt do anything...*tear falls on keyboard* lol

have you tried a hard reset?

i did...i went into clear storage and did the whole 1234 and then press yes. didnt do anything beside erase everything and then go back 2 crazy jumping screen....

Any fixes?
Black_Yoshi,
I was wondering if you found any solutions to your "screen jumpiness". I have got the same problem happening on my Touch Pro. Just started happening acouple days ago. Cant put a finger on what caused it, sprint will probably say water damage. I have the TEP except its my 3rd one in 12 months so they will cancel the program..
Any luck? Thanks

YOur display is most likely going out. That started happening to my touch pro and with in three days the screen just went black so i took it the the sprint store and they change the screen display

G1 dev phone screen does not respond amost 70% of time

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.......

Orbit 2 touch screen inoperable, cant hard reset :(

My orbit 2 is having a few problems.
The touch screen is not functioning at all - the picture is fine but there is no response - and when I try to hard reset it just soft resets.
I firmly hold down the windows and okk buttons and put the stylus in the reset hole, still holding the buttons down. I have tried keeping them held down right until windows has booted, to no avail. When windows starts it goes straight onto the built in screen lock, so I can't even do something using the direction pad. Activesync connects but I can't do much due to the screen being locked.
I feel I have exhausted all avenues but I love the phone and dont want to give up on it yet!
Any suggestions?

Me too
I've had exactly the same problem three times.
The first time, I downloaded the latest WM6.1 ROM update from O2 and installed this. The device was fine again after this for a couple of months.
The second time, reflashing had no effect, but for some reason after a 2 or 3 days the device just started working again.
Third time... just last week, patience has run out and I'm awaiting a replacement device from O2.
I'd still be intrigued if anyone has any insights as to the cause, and a reliable fix!

Screen randomly turns off but phone still on, backlight often stays on

Hey guys, i'll try to explain the situation as best i can below, hopefully someone can work out what is wrong.
My phone is about 16 months old. About 2 months ago i dropped it twice within the space of a couple weeks. There were a few cracks along the screen, however it wasn't very noticeable and i wasn't going to bother having it fixed. The problem started a couple of weeks ago when i went to grab it out of my pocket, however i found out the screen was black and it wouldn't turn on. I don't really know how to describe it but it was acting very strange...
- The screen would have white/gray bars all over it then turn off, then it would do the same with very thin vertical lines that were white/gray/other colours...
- When i get the screen on, it generally turns off again within 30 seconds, however it can stay on for a few minutes.
- If the screen is on and i press the lock button, it almost certainly won't come back on.
- Restarting the phone or holding the power and volume button nearly always gets the screen to come back on. It often then restarts but turns off again shortly after.
- The phone is otherwise still working when the screen goes off; the notification light stays on and i hear messages etc coming through
- The backlight often stays lit, revealing a gray screen opposed from total black. Sometimes it does not stay lit however.
- When the screen came on it was often unresponsive to touch
I had the screen replaced yesterday by a phone repair shop and the phone is still not right. I have factory reset the phone and also wiped the partition cache. Other than that it is still not working. IT seems to be working better... The screen always seems responsive to touch when it is on, and it doesn't seem to be turning off as often. It generally starts up and works fine when i start up by holding the power button and down volume button together... However even still it sometimes just flashes up with a few thick white/gray and black lines on the screen..
Does anyone know what can be causing this and how i can resolve it? If you need any more information please let me know and i will try provide it. I could try get some pictures of what the screen is doing when i finish work. Thanks guys, i appreciate any input.
EDIT: I managed to get a pic of what i mean by the thin vertical lines all over the screen. This just appeared when i tried to restart the phone after it the screen had once again stopped working. The imgur link is gIFMGD6

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey, did you ever figure this problem out? My phone just started doing the same thing. Can't find much info about it.

Yeah, i had the screen fixed hoping it would fix it, however that didn't work. Turns out it was the motherboard, don't know what was wrong with it in particular other than it was simply going faulty. Had someone replace the motherboard on it for $50 and have had zero problems since! Hope that helps you.

Thanks for the response. I tried replacing the screen too with no luck. Unfortunately the same place that replaced the screen said it would cost $400 to replace the motherboard!!! The phone cost less than that so it looks like I'm gonna buy a new one.
