Hey XDA..
So all of the sudden I've run into this problem where my touch capacitive Menu and Back buttons stopped working A week ago I noticed that they suddenly became less responsive, and two days after, they stopped responding at all. At this point I reflashed my kernel (Faux123), and it seemed to be running just fine again.. but only for a day. I've had Faux Kernel for about a month running smoothly with no problems, but now the two buttons seems to be kinda dead.. I superwiped and flashed ARHD (had Hypernonsense) because I thought that it would make it totally clean but after seeing that the buttons didn't even work in Recovery, I realized that the problem is more serious..
I managed to make them respond a few times probably yesterday but otherwise not at all... Are they really dead as a hardware failure or have I missed something ? Whats wrong with it?. Any suggestions?
I am running firmware 3.33 - Had Hypernonsense and Faux123 Kernel (Yank packed) when problem occurred..
Thanks..

Guys, a week ago my ohone started to act strange.
Randomly it does't detect the letter I'm trying to press on the screen. if i switch it to landscape it works perfectly, and when I go back to portrait the problem is still there.
It gets fixed by it's own or if I restart the phone, but it's starting to be annoying.
I'm on the stock Rom btw.
Same problem
I've been having the same problems but I think it has only happened to me when I use custom ROMs such as Cyanogenmod or Coredroid. When I went back to stock I don't remember it happening.
I was running Coredroid V8.1 a few weeks ago and didn't like it because the font looked terrible but I think the keyboard didn't give that problem, it was with an older version of CD. Right now I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0 and it happens a lot and gets annoying. I now for a fact that is not hardware since the keyboard will work normally on landscape and other stuff will respond to the touchscreen.
Still trying to see if there is some sort of fix or to use a new keyboard. Installed GO keyboard and same thing happened, now using Swiftkey X and it happened also but now I took the protective case to see if that has something to do with it LOL.
Hi all
two days ago my i9003 touchscreen stopped working. But the side keys and volume keys were still working.
So I had nothing to do except removing the battery and check it again. And i could reset the phone and clear cache with volume up+home+power method. Still phone touch screen was not responding. But as i was playing like this (removing the battery resetting phone, removing memory card etc) touchscreen suddenly stared to work and everything was fine.
Next day morning phone got the same issue touch screen was not responding. at night I removed the back cover and kept playing like previous day for a while and it again started to work. I flashed my rom to 2.3.6 coz I thought this was a firmware issue. everything was fine then I even played fruitninja and i slept.
Today morning unfortunately touchscreen was not responding again. Then I just removed back cover(didnt remove the battery thaugh) and jiggling with side keys and home key for a while.. after sometime touchscreen started working.
I noticed these...
If do not use the phone for a long time, it freezes.
And when unfreezing of course after jiggling for sometime it unfreezes with making a screenshot.
Any suggestions?
anyone??
I have also started having same issue a week ago. I cannot give it to Samsung care as my warranty is void (yet to check what service they can provide in absence of warranty). I went to a local shop, the idiot straightaway said its screen need to be replaced. INR 6K in damages!
I obviously said no. Please let me know if you found something.

BTW I have already tried re-installing different versions (Russian/Indian) of GB. Tried couple of custom ROMs too but no avail.
Exactly same issue
& as I can see, no one has replied yet. I have flashed it so many times, the problem stays with all roms, it works sometimes & sometimes it doesnt.
So, not an hardware issue for sure or it would not have been working at all. But whatever the bug is, its deep rooted & quite frustrating
i have the same problem i also flashed all kind of Rom's stock/custom upgrade downgrade no luck
tomorrow i will replace the Screen and Report back am replaying/reopening this thread just for the record hope it's not H/w problem and could find the solution because back and menu button are completely separated from the touchscreen and yet not working as well
Forgot
sorry i forgot to post my feedback the problem is with our Screen Touch i've changed it and i worked
Hi All,
Couple of weeks ago I got an unexpected touchscreen problem on my HTC Desire S. The phone's "menu buttons (back, home, etc..)" often stop responding, I have to lock/unlock the screen couple of times in order to get the required response from the phone.
When I type on the keyboard, sometimes multiple keys are clicked (and I have only clicked one). Sometimes the phone and the touchscreen works on it's own (clicking, selecting random things) and again I have to lock/unlock... and sometimes even then it's not fixing it.
The phone is rooted with unlocked bootloader and with S-ON. I was working fine od CodeFireX ROM (Jelly Bean based), for almost a month when I started getting this problem.
First I thought it was the software, so I installed a different ROM (JellyTime). But after couple of hours, the same problem appeared again.
I thought maybe if I install a HTC Sense-based ROM, maybe that will do the trick... So i installed Fallout Evolution 5 ROM. It was working fine for an hour or so, and then the same problem again... the buggy touchscreen appeared to haunt me again.
I don't think it's software-related... I read something about the digitizer, maybe it's something about that... I don't know...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Maxim
You're right
Hi Maxim!
I have had Desire S for a year and this happened too, I tried the same "rescue" methods, and it was a failure, so I decided to buy a new digitizer from ebay. As you know, it's quite difficult to find a good, original digitizer on ebay, but I suceeded and bought it for 16 pounds (as far as I remember). As my Desire S is broken now, I can offer you my own digitizer on a quite low price! Just let me know in PM, if you are interested.

Lost touchscreen handling in upper and lower part of my screen!!!Pls Help!
I have a rooted device with xsba's custom rom (4.0.4). The problem started before this ROM. I am pretty sure that this is no rom issue. I have flashed the phone several times with numerus roms. Problem persists.
I already have changed touchscreen once because of a serius fall (broke) approximately 6 months ago.
These are all the facts. Before xsba's rom i used thiaiz o3d. (2.3.7). The problem started one day that i hadn't charged the phone up. When the battery fell under 5 % the phone went berserk. (Numerus button presses all the time)
I couldn't even reboot. When I finally turned it off by removing battery and restarted the phone the upper field of touchscreen of the phone never worked again.
Yesterday i failed to charge again.ASfter finally restarting the same issue appeared in the lower field of touchscreen. Please advice!!!!!!!!
Is there a way to solve this problem without changing the touchscreen?

Now , you need to go to developer options in the settings and enable show touches option. Then you touch and slide to the parts that don't work . If you see the line going there , then it's a problem with your ROM. If it's not , then you possibly have a broken touchscreen. Check the contact of the touchscreen ribbon and see if it's tightly sitting on the slot , press it down and try again.
If it's not working , you have no choice but to replace the touchscreen. You can buy one off eBay for 19 dollars and free shipping. It's made in China but it works well without problems for the past 6 months with my device.
Hope I helped.
Cheers!

I am going to buy one for me from ebay today. I have no choise as it appears.
I feel the need to thank you for your time and for the solutions that you provided me with.!
You have been most helpful.
HI did you ever solve this? I have the same problem, or very similar with middle and lower sections of screen dead, strange ghost touches and screen going crazy every so often, all started after I rooted phone. Was it just a broken touch screen? Cheers

My friend i changed touchscreen and problem solved.
Thanks for the reply, good to know that it solved your problem, I have a new screen ordered, hopefully will solve mine too:good:
I am posting a new thread here because it says I cant post in the specific rom's thread.
I've recently flashed the Cyanogenmod 10.1 rom on my HTC Sensation and it works fabulously when it works.
I have the latest build but I'm experiencing a very intense screen flicker several times a day that requires I pull out the battery to fix it.
A normal reboot or power down/power up doesn't seem to fix it. The flickering will continue after reboot unless I pull out the battery.
The screen flickers and then goes totally black until I touch the screen again, then it flickers enough that I can see the content on the phone.
But the moment I release the screen it goes solid black again.
I flashed my phone back to stock before I installed the rom. I'm kind of a noob with all this - I flashed my last HTC HD2 phone to a separate XDA rom, so I have some experience, but not a whole lot. I may seem clueless on some things but I CAN figure it out with some clearly-written steps.
This seems to be a known issue but I haven't seen anything suggested that has fixed it for me yet.
If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it! I love the rom but the screen flicker happens sporadically. Sometimes it won't happen for hours, sometimes it will come back fifteen to thirty minutes after I power back on.
Try this rom. It's a modden version of CM10.1, specificly tweaked for the Sensation, running Android-4.2.2. I'm using it for a few days now on my own Sensation and I really like it.

That's the one I used. It's perfect except for that horrible screen flicker.
Still waiting and hoping for an update.
I only noticed some screen flickering when I use the panorama function of the camera app. I've also seen a youtube where a guy is complaining about screen flickering. But this is an older video and this use was using an older version at the time.
In case you didn't know, this rom comes with GooManager. You can use it to check for updates for this rom.
