Temporary Touchscreen "dead" spots

I recently rooted my Inspire (2 days ago) and just today ive noticed that im getting dead spots on my touch screen. Its most noticeable when im typing something and one of the keys will hardly register. I will have to push multiple times, harder than I would normally have to for it to register. Rebooting the phone fixes the dead spot for a while, and then a new spot will have the same issue a little later. If anyone has any suggestions or and ideas on what could possibly be causing this I would really appreciate it.

What rom/kernel are you using? A lot of people were having that problem, including myself, and to my understanding it had something to do with the drivers. I believe Lee's latest kernel addresses this problem.

I've noticed this while using the CoreDroid ROM and the Gingerbread keyboard. I switched back to the HTC keyboard and deadspot is gone. So my guess is, its something with the GB keyboard.

Well I am using LeeDroid Rom. Does the regular rom itself not update the Kernel aswell?? Sorry if this is a dumb question, this was my first time rooting.

It's a well documented bug. It's hardware problems with inspires

same here, using Coredroid V7(even before v7) and Lee Kernel 3.1.7 BFS.

same here.. its always the A and the O with almost every rom..

@OP:
This is a known touch screen drivers issue. Only way out is to press power for screen off, and then press again for screen on. I don't think any of our devs here can do anything about it (atleast I assume so, with no doubts about the abilities of our devs).

I have found that doing a screen rotation works too

Great! I generally (close to 95%) have my screen rotation turned off, so didn't notice it. Thanks for the idea though.

[Q] Wildfire S (new) digitizer problem. Can you help me?

Hello everybody,
I've read a lot of threads here but none could solve my problem... My sister dropped her Wildfire S and the digitizer (the glass) broke in several pieces. Even though they were still in place, only the bottom right corner would respond to the touch, so I ordered a new digitizer on ebay and installed it but it worked only in that specific corner... so I found a fix in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21203638 (launching a calibration app via hboot using a goldcard) and the digitizer then began to work (but with many problems) just on the left and the right of the screen, the center was dead. So I asked the seller a new digitizer and it worked on the left and right too, like the previous one, but more flawlessly. I reused that fix and now the digitizer is working perfectly but just on 3/4 - 4/5 of the screen! the extreme left is dead, so I can't press the Shift button on my keyboard + a couple buttons right there... I'm now supposing that the digitizer is not faulty since the center didn't work and started to as I used that fix... I've also put a cyanogen rom on the phone but it's still as it was previously... Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I misspelled something

Do you have a warranty on your phone?

So do you think I should send them the phone with the new digitizer installed?

Where did you buy the phone?

In a mobile phone shop... do you think they'll trust me if I just tell them it's not working? btw, I'd like to find a better solution... my intention is to fix this digitizer

I took back my Galaxy i5500 5 times in 10 months, it was rooted and had I had Cyanogenmod installed on it. I soft bricked it 4 of them times (The first time was shock damage, but the man behind the counter said my device was great and he really liked the appearance and customization of Cyanogenmod and even asked me for the XDA URL).
Just take it back, say it's stopped working, worst thing that can happen is they'll send it back saying it hasn't been fixed as you've tampered with it.
Good luck,
Curtis.

Touchscreen acting up weird. "Auto taps" search button

Since a day or three i'm having this very weird problem with my touchscreen, I'll try describing it as good as possible:
- Half the time it works perfectly and very smooth
- Then suddenly it gets difficult to slide/drag on the screen and it seems the touchscreen "automaticly" trys to start tapping the lower right search button/icon/softkey. Followed by of course the searchfunction popping up.
- Sometimes it even goes beserk without touching the phone at all (keeps hitting the search button).
- If i then lock my screen and unlock it, it sometimes working perfectly well for a moment.
- Also noticed when it's occuring and I try pushing the hard case just below the touchscreen it also acts up ....
Okay, so I hope i described it ok, it's al so random at the moment. I'll report more if I can.
Rom i'm using: the latest cyanogenmod9 (did full wipe etc, still same problem and no-one else reporting on the same issue).
The problem also occured in Clockworkmod recovery!!!
*edit:
Quick side-note question, I have htcdev unlock and using custom roms. Can I get my phone back to full standard/stock so I can send in my phone for warrenty? Or is my warrenty already lost by using htcdev unlock etc? What are the best steps to get full stock again? (so no htc dev unlock, no root, no clockwork recovery etc ...)

after some reading and testing it turns out to be hardware related. this thread may close, looking for some help reverting back to stockrom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595539

Have the same problem but on stock ive send it in for warranty its gone now for 2 weeks now mine was/is full stock because i still have warranty later in time ill play around with roms.ill let you now what happend if it gets repaired under warranty or ill have to pay.
Gr kamei

This is from Lignja (earlier comment):
if you have touchscrean and swipe problems on your sensation, download SGS touchscreen booster from market, install it, press on super optimized, and pull first 3 collums on end left, and 2 last on end right, then press apply... your sensation will worke like a charm, you wont have any swipe problems or locking ring... then you can test it and turn back ond defult or uninstal that application and it will still work... hope it helps you like it helped to me... soz for bad english..

[Q] HTC Touch2 - Touchscreen is horrible.

I am unsure if this is the correct category to post in :/
Anyways, my good old HTC Touch2 is getting really old now, infact so old that the touch is horrible.
If the screen locks after being idle for a minute, it is impossible to slide it to unlock, I simply cannot do it, the touch is way to.. messed up, I have to restart the whole phone when it locks. I have tried screen touch calibration, but I can't finish it! Did it for 10 minutes without completion.
So my question is, how do I fix the touch? Or.. how do I disable the slide lock?
Just a temporary fix or something, I REALLY have to get a new HTC soon
Thanks, Nicolai

It's probaly a hard ware problem...there's not much you can do, I have new wildfire s and touch isn't that great. I would flash a Rom and see if anything changes...if not, then you will no its a hardware problem, some phones come from the factory like that

Searching for specific ROM. Help!

Hi guys!
Here's the case, last week my phone kind of broke, the lower part of the screen doesnt work, like just an inch at the bottom. I´m searching for a ROM that will work without having to use the lower part of the screen, because now I re-installed viperx but I cant set my phone up, because you have to press next to continue, which is at the bottom.
Hope you understand what I mean, havent got the greatest of english.
Best Regards,

I believe all Roms will have the same problem. I have flashed 7 Roms in the last 2 weeks, both sense and non-sense, and they all have the same initial setup screen.

You can rotate your phone to the right, that will bring your arrows to the side of the screen during setup

Flash a CyanogenMod Rom without flashing Gapps. Gapps contains the setup process so if you don't flash you wont need to go through this step. You can always install all the apps separately
Hope this helps

I suggest aokp without gapps then enable the navigation bar or use pie
