Hello,I bought a HTC Desire S around 4 months ago.
From past 2 days i have lot of problems with it.
1.Home screen button not working
2.Q,A keys are not working while typing(they work when i rotate the screen)
3.Wen i rotate the screen and start typing the whole keys on the least bottom dont work.
4.Sometimes if i press back key it goes to selection option...sometimes whole phone hangs.
5.Im not able to download from market...after i click download it shows downlading icon but it never starts download.
I made factory reset for couple of times but no use.
Any one have some suggestions?
numbers 1 to 4 seem like some sort of problem with your touchscreen... Have you tried wiping it with some clean cloth after breathing on it? My back button has some issues registering touches once in a while, but wiping it helps always
Regarding 5, I don't know really, but have you tried using the webmarket?

ya i tried wiping it but not working
Does the area where your Q and A keys are when in portrait work when the keyboard is not on? Can you use it to click items, scroll webpages etc?
One other thing you could try is the calibrate option for the keyboard. (somewhere in settings-> languages I think, it's been a while since I ran an Sense ROM).
If both yield no result, it sounds like a hardware issue to me, and you might be best of to invoke your warranty.

Hello, I have recently discovered a very annoying problem with the touchscreen on my Motorola Defy:
I have noticed that the touch screen acts strange sometimes, so I have installed a touch test application(Touchtest by Hermit). In this application I have noticed that if I touch the screen in two different points in a fast succession, a line appears between these two dots. This makes a lot of application that require multitouch pretty much useless, because I have to restart the application to have the touch screen working again.
Is there any solution for this? I have heard that this may be a software issue, so I have e-mailed Motorola, but they have not answered yet.
I have attached two pictures to illustrate what I am saying, one taken before this strange error, and one after pressing on two spots very fast. You can see the line connecting the dots in the second picture. I can make a video if you still can't figure out what I am saying.
Thank you.
Im having a very similar problem here on my defy. When I play games on psx4droid and when I keep pressing x key, it stops working for a while then I have to release the button and when I press it again, it stops working and it continues
I encounter similar problems with my Defy.
When for instance using slide to unlock , 1 / 5 sildes fails. I have to slide 2 - 3 times until it unlock.
It also scrolls very slow in applications and the same thing happens when typing a message.
Solution : Unse lock button.
It currently runs Pays ROM, but the situation appeared since I installed 2.2.1.
I don't remember having this problems on 2.1.
Don't know if the situation is only related to software but it is really annoying.
Found this info regarding touchscreen slowness, but I am using the original charger so it doesn't apply for me.
Motorola Defy Touchscreen Problem
I recently got my Motorola Defy,my Defy's touchscreen acts sometimes really weird, on keyboard it's hard to enter 'r' or 'b' and some other characters, it takes little while to unlock the phone, it automatically opens applications, I don't know if it's due to faulty handset or software, I am considering it returning to Phone4U and get a replacement handset.
What version of Android are you using ?
Same problems here, but I think it is a software issue.
I'm having the same problem on my Defy.
After a while, the multi touch stops. I posted on the Motorola Forums
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/44733
but no response.
I used YAMTT and when having two touches, after 20 seconds, one of them disappears
This is repeatable
2.51.1 UK with 2.1 Android
Well, it is clear that this is a problem that affects many Motorola Defy users. But I wonder if someone could fix this thing?
Looks like the new software version 2.51.1 did not fix this bug. I haven't tried it yet, but I see some of you have.
So it looks like our only solution could be a developer from XDA. Could someone help please?
This is ridiculous...i've sent my phone to motorola only because it was giving this problem and basically what i think is that their own software is causing this problem so i'll be waiting for 3 weeks and when i get my defy...it'll still have that problem...Ridiculous...
I did a bit more experimenting.
I flashed the 2.2 Finnish blur, multitouch still disappears after 20 seconds using the touch testing programs
I also booted into Safe Mode (vol up + vol down during boot)
The same problem persists; I was using gallery image zoom to test.
However, I got my friend who has a Motorola Droid to install YAMTT. The multitouch lasted about 30-40 seconds. Not sure what to make of that. He's running some version of Cyanogen Mod on Android 2.3

I was messing around today and even the single touch disappears after a while
30 seconds or so
Mine sometime stop response after few seconds
really wierd
Tell me who is on stock rom and is having problem..because im on 2.2 leaked..so i cant really say if u hv this problem on 2.1...
I got this response from a Motorola employee. Anyone know of a way around this?
Motorola Employee said:
If you touch the screen and don't move for a long time, the screen will eventually try to ignore that touch as it'll be considered invaild. That's what you're seeing. If you continue to move your finger(s), touch will continue to work. Also, when you release the screen, it acts to clear the invalid touch region that you generated earlier.

have simular problems............100 procent hardware problem..... if i twist phone a little it will go back to normal for a while
any ideas for disable it?changing some parameter or something?
I have the same problem. screen sometimes go crazy. i am using stockrom eclair SEA 2.59. sometimes it seems that it tap icons or part of the screen even without I actually tap on something. and it seems it affect the capacitive button under the screen. I am not touching the search button but the search box suddenly appear.
I have to push the power button and unlock the screen to make it normal.
somebody please help us. I am also having this weird problem. Touchscreen gets pressed itself not everytime but it happens very frequently. Tried everything, hard reseted too.
At least I gotta hope that its not a hardware problem as many of u are also facing this problem. Any body please confirm if flashing cm7 has helped u or any other solution.

i returned my defy months ago but what you can do is, try to flash cyanogenmod on your defy...that should fix the problem.
Hi, I've registered myself just a minute ago, reading the link that efpod left here and I've remembered that I charged my Defy with a Galaxy S i9000 charger friday (I've charged it once the batery was drained later with my original charger) and today it is failing A LOT, it's really anoying.
I got Cyanogen Mod (latest) installed on my phone so that doesn't fix the problem.
I'm uncharging it with "StabilityTest - CPU / GPU Test" and when the battery drains out I'm gonna charge it with the original one, after that, I'll test it during the day and I'll leave a messege to keep you informed.
Hello all,
Awhile back the touchscreen on my Sprint TP2 (RHOD400) was off. I click in one spot, it clicks an inch high. Sometimes more, sometimes less..I tried calibrating, but I couldn't even click the center target once. The problem stopped for awhile, then started up again last week. This time the problem is worse. I press in one area, it presses one to two inches away. I have the phone in landscape mode and try to press the upper right hand corner 'x' and it brings up the notification window. Sometimes the lower right part of my screen is completely inaccessible, and I cannot send a text for quite awhile. Other times it is fine, but not fine to the point where I can get super accurate clicks. I was running Mr.X rom, and flashed to Mighty, but this did not solve the problem. I have also cleared storage. I used to run haret android for awhile, would this have caused any problems? I thought I should try that again since I can force the phone to use a calibration.txt file that works for sure, and see if the phone is "fixed" then. I guess my options are...
Try haret android again
task 29?
reflash?
be sad, it's a digitizer issue
(tldr) Touchscreen is off, but not always by the same amount. Reflashing wouldn't cure it and I can't calibrate it. Targets keep going around and around after the reflash, where before I couldn't get them to click even once.
Maybe one of those will fix my problem..I hope so, but I posted here to see if anyone else had heard of an intermittent touchscreen issue like this?
Thanks for reading/help guys.
Can a mod move this to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=488 Touch pro 2/Tilt forum? I feel as if I posted it in the wrong forum and I'd get more responses in the other. Thanks!
Have you tried pressing the two volume buttons at the same time to get to that calibration screen. Then try to calibrate and see what happens. If this does not work for you then I would think its a hardware issue.
3 button home and back and multitasking not working . The lights were turned on but not working . my phone is htc one s and changed ROM does not work

On my s I solved this by replacing the vibrate/ribbon motor with this one the smaller separate ribbon with the 3 gold contacts is the points for the 3 buttons - just be aware to replace this part you have to strip your phone right back including peeling the screen from its frame so you have to be careful
I've also been having issues with this randomly using ViperOneS, but recently it's become unbearable. Wiping cache/dalvik seems to do nothing. Sometimes even rebooting doesn't work, even so rebooting your phone 10 times a day is annoying. According to this it's known and there's a fix for it.
Until we get a definite software solution (I'm not opening the company's phone), you can get a home menu button app. At least you can reboot later...
Today my keyboard decided to no longer use the I key in default view. This is odd because calibrating the keyboard allowed me to use the I key. After calibration finished, it went back to no longer working. I've cleaned my screen protector, and when pressing I, it "clicks" both the u and o key at the same time. This not only affects the keyboard, but in some other instances will not allow me to click a small icon, such as setting in the drop down menu. I've since done a factory reset and even flashed a new rom to no avail. The only possibility is there is a small half bubble at the top edge near the camera, and will have ghost armour replace it if I cannot find a cause as to why this happened. Any suggestions as what I could try?
What version of Android System Webview are you running?

It's a long shot, I don't know how often you update through GooglePlay, or if you even do... I do know that a version of webview made my phone do the same thing, it had dead spots on the screen but only when my keyboard was up in default SMS. I had the same the problems as you, buttons on the other side of the keyboard were being pressed & it was selecting drop down menus to save the text above, copy, etc... I found out the version of webview I had was bad, I know you did a factory reset, but maybe it restored the same the bad version?!?!? Try updating it if possible, or uninstalling updates for that app. It may just work....
Unfortunately it didn't work. In installed updates and tried freezing with tibu. To no avail. Called HTC and all they want to do is me sending phone in for repair. I don't like this option
What carrier do you have the phone through if any at all??

Yeah, sorry about that, i wouldn't be happy about that either. I was wondering if you had a phone carrier, if so which one. It seems as though you didn't buy it through them since you are in contact with HTC. I know HTC warranties your phone up to a year, but they should send a replacement in the meantime if you have to send it in Good Luck, sorry I couldn't be more help. If you have a phone carrier that you purchased it through such as Verizon, they would replace it right away as they have done for me about twice now:good:
Hi all,
Since the beginning I have a weird issue that my back button sometimes wont work.
If I touch the screen somewhere else the back button works again.
Currently updated to latest firmware for my model 1.27.401.5 and using viper 1.7.0 but problem still exists sometimes.
Any ideas? Or more people who have had this issue?
For me it's the back button and the recent apps button. Started a few weeks ago. Doesn't always happen, but does more often than not. Restarting doesn't fix it.
I presume it's because of either an update or app that I loaded, but don't know what.
hi, same probleme for me back button and led indicator and recent apps button dont work
i full wipe and same dont work plz help me
i tested an othe custom rom and button not work also

Just out of curiosity, what type of screen protector if any are you using?
I personally don't have a screen protector and I'm also running the latest ViperU Rom....and the only problem I have with both the recent and back button is that they don't have a "wide touch sensitive zone" you have to touch exactly where the button is....which is hard when it's not lit all the time...
I bon t use any screen protector me too

same here
Just started to me. I noticed something smudged on my screen part of it covered the back button. I tried to turn the screen off before wiping it off but every time I tried to wipe it off the screen would activate and the back button capacitive action would keep kicking on. Now I notice neither my back button or right side "menu"button work or light up anymore.
Have only had this phone a few months. This would be a non starter for me. Anyone have any fixes?

Hi,
Have the same problem with my HTC U11 life, both buttons are away. Only the home Button works. How could I fix this problem?
Hello ! I have the same problem with htc u11, the recent application button is working alone, without being touched, lately it's getting more and more often. How can this extremely troublesome issue be solved? Thank you !
Hi, I've had my HTC U11 since launch and it's always had what I would describe as an 'intermittent fault' with the back button. I've just upgraded the software for I think the 3rd time and it's still the same. Now on v 2.33.401.10. I find a little extra pressure usually works but it's annoying, especially when everything else works so well. It's the same whether I have a screen protector on or not and it's not an accuracy thing as I can hit the same spot 20 times and while most will work, there will be patches or 2 or 3 presses where it won't respond. A solution would be much appreciated!
The Back and Apps buttons never worked nicely for me, it was kinda hard to find and press with naked screen and with glass protector almost impossible. However, I have the Glove mode always on and the buttons work fine. In Oreo Settings → Display, gestures & buttons → Glove mode.
But sometimes (I guess when the phone is hot; when charging OR on battery so no charger issue) the squeeze is overly sensitive or there are taps at the top edge of the display when nothing (fingers, metal nor anything else conductive) is nearby the area, in extreme cases it starts pulling down the notification drawer and even opens notifications by itself. It's rare now, if it gets more often, I'll probably claim warranty.
So do I.... I also have the problem with the screen buttons. The "back button" usually works fine and forget to work 1/10 times, however the right "multiwindow button" makes me crazy. Often when I hold the phone in my hand, this button lives with its own life and turn on the multiwindow mode (as it "presses" by itself 2-3 times in a row). At the begining I thought thah mayby I'm pressing it by a part of my palm, but I after observation I realised it goes whithout my contribution. I'm sick and tired.
