This thread is not about the digitizer unresponsiveness that everyone else complains about. I'm writing this bcause I have discovered that a strip of the digitizer that becomes unresponsive/dead after replacing it.
If you replaced the digitizer could you try different ROMS/Firmwares and post results here?
I have several problems:
1. The screen is unresponsive at times (This is fixed by flashing RUU and updating through HTC Update)
2. In the middle of the screen there is an area that does not register touches
3. The digitizer won't register more than 4 fingers
To address the last issues 2 I have provided images:
Using one finger on the screen (registers OK)

Using two fingers on the screen (registers OK)
Using three fingers on the screen (registers OK)
Using 4 fingers gives nothing at all, not even 3 inputs
Placing finger in the dead zone
I have determined the dead zone to be around this area:
Looks like a specific hardware problem to me. I tried that app and it works fine. I'm able to get up to 4 touches
Have you replaced your digitizer? Also do you have the dead spot that I demonstrated above?
happens to most sensations with replaced digitizers u have to get one that has the same s/n as the stock one

Yeah but others don't have dead spot

Did this ever get resolved? I am having the exact same dead zone after digitizer replacement. I did use the proper replacement part.
I have the same problem, my digitizer was OK, and then, suddenly puff, I have a dead zone ;(
How to fix it?!
Related
I recently dropped my Xoom (in a case onto a carpeted floor). It semeed to survive but now the display shows distorted colors like the sample attached. I thought it might be a loose connection but I can be working away and the screen will revert to normal and stay that way for days.
And I can suspend it while it's okay, come back to it and the display is corrupt again.
Can anybody work out what could be going on? I would prefer not to have to replace the screen but I don't really know if that is the issue if it reverts back to normal all the time.
Thanks

The screenshots look fine to me, how about upload the images of your LCD screen not screenshots.

Silly me. The screen shots look distorted to me also because I was posting on the device!
Yeah looks like a loose connector to me. You may be able to fix it if it was a soldering joint. I guess the repair can do the same thing.
I dropped my tablet recently and the screen got screwed like yours, but mine is worse. I don't know too much about hardware, but I think that it's the crystal that broke, so it may be hard to fix :/. Anyway, if you get it back working I hope you to share some info with me, as well I will do if I get working .
Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone can help? Basically, I got into a car accident and my phone was damaged. The image is reversed and the touch screen is somewhat insensitive.

The red streaks is just from the flash. Anyone experienced the same? Should I repair it or just give it up and buy a new one?
Thanks for your help.
Similar problem
I have similar problem. Touch in N5 was insentensive too and today something happened. I have Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case, so I think it shouldn't be problem, that my N5 fell from 1m high. Or maybe it is a problem? Now screen doesn't work, it only highlights a bit when it should display something. Touch doesn't work too, of course. I know that my N5 is still alive, because of vibrations and LED. I can hard reset my phone with 10s pressing power button, but I can only feel vibrations and a bit grey not dark screen.
Is my screen damaged? Or only software? I hope it's only the software, because I would prefer to do it myself, not to call RMA.
Does anyone know any way to control my phone via PC? Connected by USB or Wifi (I have remembered WiFi).
Sorry for my language (grammar etc.), I'm not American or British.
Dropping your phone will not damage software. You can access your phone via fastboot. I don't think it'll help. Your best bet is to send it in for repairs.
I've had car insurance cover a new laptop that damaged in a crash before. I live in Florida in the US though. Maybe its worth a shot for you too?

Yesterday morning my phone was working great, then all of a sudden about an hour later I noticed that the touch was behaving weird, I was having a hard time unlocking my screen and also from time to time it's doing stuff by itself. So I downloaded a "touch screen tester" and swiped my fingers all over the screen and noticed that there are two horizontal "rows", one on the top and one on the bottom of the screen with a height of about 1 cm which doesn't work properly, when I swipe my fingers across it only registers small dots all over it. Also, sometimes in this touch screen tester there's a thin horizontal line which appears on top of the screen, which means the screen is randomly "fills dots" by itself.
I checked the LID and one looks pink to me, the other white. I haven't submerged the phone into any form of liquid, so I'm having a hard time believing this error is caused by water. Should I send the phone on warranty or should I try something first? I've heard that warranty doesn't cover cases where the LIDs are pink...

I have same issue with my Z3 dual. 1 line on center of the screen doesn't work and touch screen sometimes work weird - spontaneous touches by itself. I send phone on warranty and for now i have info that they repairing it. I attached my screen test.
UPDATE:
I sent the phone on warranty to Sony. They sent me a new phone, I got it yesterday. Super happy with their support, was without my phone for only 4 days.
Hi there! First time poster here. I purchased my Z3 around 10 months ago. A month ago I noticed a dead spot in the touch screen and you couldn't press certain letters in portrait mode without hitting other keys. I sent it off and long story short, sony voided my warranty under physical damage. This damage is a 0.5mm gap in the "waterproof" seals on the phone. I escalated my claim, there were no other signs of damage so it wasn't me and was covered by the phone case since the purchase date. They sent it back and still refused.
Today when I received it, I switched it on and there was static on the screen (the setup was jumping all over like something off a horror film), it also has several new scratches all over it. I performed the touchscreen test on the service menu. I'm not sure how to post my pictures but it curiously is in the exact same position as another user posted here a year ago:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now this touchscreen issue is obviously what was wrong before, and what Sony refuses to fix because of some "physical damage" not caused by me. What do you think I can do? Clearly this was a faulty handset with the touchscreen, but they don't acknowledge that. Also with the new damage since they sent it back to me. Surely I have some rights here? Is there any way to fix the touchscreen?
Many thanks in advance!

The image does not seem to have worked, it's post number 22 on this page:

I got my S10e last month and noticed a weird problem/issue with it. The screen has ghost letters all over the screen that are only visible on a grayish screen. I use black wallpapers and keep brightness on the lower side so didn't notice it earlier. See pics to understand what I'm talking about. I used to have a S9+ before and didn't have this problem. I was wondering if this is something only on my device and I should get it replaced or is it on all/most devices out there. If you've a S10e or other variants can you please confirm if you have this issue.
Thanks
PS sorry for the weird link (remove spaces). xda cdn is not working and being a new user I can't add links

not common issue as far as I know - sounds like an issue with your device - try to get it replaced due to defect
Try to invert colors maybe to see if it fixes, probly wont but all I can think of
Too soon to have screen burn issue. I've note 3 and s6 over 4 years but still didn't have this issue.

This is not even burn in by my use. I never had any wallpaper or anything with those letters, seems like an issue/burn-in from the factory. Will need to get it replaced
Get it repaired under warranty. If you're in the USA, the "uBreakiFix" stores are Samsung authorized repairers.
Or just get a new unit since it's so new.
Seems its new unit then better send for replacement.
