Has anyone experienced the screen being unresponsive?

Has anyone had their screen become unresponsive at all? meaning certain parts of it not working? I was typing before and my screen seemed to have a few "dead" spots where I would press and it wouldnt register, The V key on the kb, but b and c worked.. it was just strange. a reboot seems to have solved it for now but just wondering if anyone else has had this happen at all. I just got this as a warranty replacement. My old one never did anything like that.. so I'm wondering if maybe they sent me a bad one or if it was just a temp software glitch

Yes I have had this exact issue only mine occurs in the home screen and lock screen where I can't swipe to another page at times or I can't unlock the phone in a certain area.

i only occasionally have any issues

Sensation screen unresponsive for short time after turning on

I have just replaced my digitizer (was dust under the screen and also a scratch on the digitizer itself, along with the fact I damaged it removing the sticky tape) and the whole screen is almost completely unresponsive. Brand new, but wont work fully until I touch the screen for a bit or give it time to sit after activating the lockscreen.
Once it is through it's "warmup" the screen works flawlessly. It just acts like a slug before that... Also rendering the quick launch lock screen completely worthless. Anyone have any ideas what could be the culprit?

I too replaced a broken screen on my sensation, and i am experiencing the exact same problem as you. Only for me it's only the lower left part of the screen that 'takes time to warm up'.
Did you find any solution?

Not yet. I have another digitizer on order, and fingers are crossed. If not, ill be biting the bullet and waiting for the nexus prime. I have this feeling that it is something other than the digitizer which is extremely sensitive. If people are claiming responsiveness issues after a week or two of use, and while on their sixth or seventh sensation... It sounds like something is slowly deteriorating or building up.

I don't think it's the digitizer either, probably something else ont he phone. However i don't think it is the same problem as everybody else is having, since they experience their screen being unresponsive in general rather than just after turning on.
I am though going to try some of the fixes suggested, i.e. improve the grounding by placing some aluminum foil under the cover and see if it helps.

What does "turning on" mean? Cold boot up? If so, then the CPU on the phone will be busy doing stuff. If you mean waking up from sleep, then that's another problem.

for me it's both cases, both when booting the phone and just when turning the screen back on. What's strange is that it is only the lower part of the screen that's frozen :-S after 10-20 seconds it suddenly springs back to life just as nothing had happened and works flawlessly until i turn the screen of. Then i see the exact same problem again.
I also noticed now that the screen also freezes after calling somebody and when you hang up :-0 I really don't know what is wrong with the phone!

If the phone is unsecured (never sleeps) it will work flawlessly. As soon as I click the top button to secure the screen, or take a phone call, once I try to unlock/ use the screen again... The problem comes back. The left side of the screen is the most responsive, usually moving my finger around for about five or ten seconds will restore full sensitvity. I received a new digitizer in the mail, just waiting on tape. Interesting note; they are different digitizers. The original was HTC/ tmobile brand while the replacement is simply HTC. The ribbon cable also reads different. My original: pyd v1.0, sw-10 94v-0, e3082521117. The new one reads: pyd v1.0, e21954-1, ruICACichia, 94v-0 1112. The current digitizer replacement is also a standard HTC label... I wonder if it is because it isn't a specific model replacement.

Alright so i tried doing all the fixes related to the grounding issue, and i didn't affect anything at all.
I'm going back to the repair shop today (have a three months warranty) to tell them to have a look at it again and see if they can fix the issue. Maybe they have a spare digitizer they could try instead of my current one. I will let you know if anything helps!

Sounds good. I am betting its either an incorrect digitizer for the model of phone (us/eu/whatever) improper mounting or damage, or just planetary alignment or something equally stupid. I'm really hoping someone figures out this problem... It is frustrating to spend more time figuring out how to fix a phone than you actually do using it.

True, had i known from the start i would probably just have bought a new phone, rather than spend on the money on getting the screen replaced :-S

Well, I replaced the digitizer for a second time. Seems to be the same thing so far. Different initial responsiveness spot (looks like the right side might be more sensitive now) but I didn't have high hopes. I wonder what it could be...

So i went back to the repair shop and got it fixed. I guess they weren't in the mood for scientific inquiry, because they simply disassembled the phone and installed a new digitizer. After that everything is working fine, altough i will never know if it was the digitizer itself or some faulty wiring somewhere :-S

Worked for me
I have had exactly the same problem you all have experienced. The first digitizer I ordered from a company on e-bay gave me huge problems at the unlock screen. Bought a new one from skalshop and it works perfectly. I even tried it without tape to make sure it worked before I glued the thing together and it worked perfect.

[Q] please help sensation screen shows only tv static

Hello. i bought the htc sensation in october. It has been working fine...until yesterday the wierdest thing happened the screen started showing tv static on the whole screen. It disappeared after 5 seconds. I noticed it came when i put the mobile in my pocket. It behaved like this several times. I then did a factory reset to try and resolve problem but now situation has worsened it only shoes tv static and nothing else. I have tried charging it rebooting it. I am sending it back as i have a brightex warranty card. I am really worried i have android 2.3.3.4 updated automatically .

Same
Any update? Did you solve it? Anyone else has the same issue? I have the same tv noise, even changed the lcd screen and its the same.

I have the same issue...

Same Issue
Same issue here, i have seen a few threads about it, but no answers. Mine didnt "just happen" though. I had cracked the digitizer and decided to have it replaced. I had read that doing the digitizer seperate was causing people issues so i bought a preassembled digitizer/lcd. The LCD was working fine before i installed the new one. When i booted it up with the new one, there was static on the screen. I tried disassembly/ reassembly and still static. I plugged the origional screen in and still static. I have no idea what to do here, any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Screen Doesn't Work, Strange Pixelation

So I searched everywhere and can not find ANYTHING on such an issue...
A little history on my phone, previously cracked the digitizer but replaced it with no issues (except for a minor cosmetic scratch on lcd, barely noticeable) about 3 months ago, has run fine since then, never any issues
I am running ICS under HD sensation rom, never any issues
I occasionally had some touch screen unresponsiveness, but a quick turn off and on of screen would fix this, a pretty common issue for this phone
The Issue:
today for some odd reason my phone screen would turn on and would be just random pixels of varying color, not correlating to lock screen at all, a reset of the phone did nothing for this, but strangely enough pressing very slightly across the whole front of the screen would return it to normal, if a bit briefly, so i concluded that a wire connecting the screen had come loose, or there was dust inside the phone, so i took it apart and made sure everything was a-ok, which it was, but after putting it back together the same issue persists, and has in fact gotten progressively worse throughout the day, it is now to the point of being unusable, has anyone experienced anything similar, or does anyone have any solutions? i would rather avoid a new phone if possible...

AnyOne??
I'm also having the same problem with my HTC Sensation and tried the master reset and inserting a new SD Card. Did you figured out what was causing the problem? I appreciate any info.

[Q] Soft keys problem

Hello everyone,
I have a fairly new HTC One S z520e (2weeks old), running stock 4.0.4 update, no root etc yet.
Lately I am experiencing problems with the capacitive buttons acting like crazy, I remember before owning the phone that I had read some cases that users had similar problems but did not find the threads.
While typing, suddenly all three buttons start acting weird without getting pressed and sometimes the buttons do not work at all. In some cases if I switch off-on the screen sometimes it gets fixed, but most of the time it doesn't and I have to wait a long time to get it to work as it should again, or restart the phone.
I sometimes had this issue with my HTC Desire and typing,but after I cleaned the screen it worked immediately, but this does not happen in this case.
It might be a static electricity issue but I am still not sure.
I have a screen protector and I also thought that this might be the cause, since when I removed the protector from my Desire I never had this problem again.
Is it a software bug or hardware flaw?
Do any of you experience the same issue and have any solution??
Thanx in advance,
T.

Warranty replacement. If you aren't rooted not much you can do. If its that new I wouldn't tolerate it. Get a new one

I wish it was that easy. In my country I can only find the z560e and I was lucky enough to find from an independent dealer a z520e, so if I try to get it replaced in warranty I am sure that I will get back a z560.
