Sometimes turning the screen off, waiting three seconds, and turning the screen on again will fix unresponsiveness. If the screen will not take ANY user input, then try a reboot. I don't know what you mean by "it acts like someone is touching stuff"?

What do u mean.. Should i turn off the phone or ?? And i mean it acts like im touching apps and stuff when im not even touching the phone so it just opens random apps
backup up your phone with cwm, then factory reset or odin to stock so you start fresh and if you are still having the screen randomly pressed its probably hardware issue.

Try this.. read the stickies. This forum and these threads include all the information you will need but YOU have to find it.

Guys i am facing a problem..i already searched the whole xda but i didnt find anything..my problem is that my htc cant vibrate anymore...even the htc sence and even when im typing to send a message...at the settings is already set to vibrate all the mods..but nothing works!!any solution please?
did you try a softreset or hardreset? also what rom are you using?
i did soft reset many times...i use stock rom 1,66....!
anyone please??
Do a hard reset. Yes, it'll wipe out all the data and apps but its worth a try. If your phone still don't vibrate, I guess you have a problem with the motor or something.
yeah thats it...
a problem can be caused by a installed program or something else...
after a hardreset, it has to work..if not, you've got a hardware defect.

Check on the back of the phone if your led flash is "pressed in". That could cause the vibrate to stop working.

Same problem here. Flash cover was pushed and stopping the vibration mechanism. openning the back cover and pushing the flash cover so that it flushes with the cover solved the problem. Openning the cover will void your warranty though.

Amazing!!! this worked for me too.
After all this time looking for a software fix...
Good ol' mechanical remedies if an army of vibrating HD2 take over the world, now we know how to stop em
son of a ....
I had the same problem, and found my LED flash to be pushed in after reading this thread.
I opened up the case to correct it. But after putting it back together not only does vibrate not work, but the volume keys, speakers (both earpiece and speakerphone), flash, notification led, and camera all don't work.
I obviously screwed something up, but I have no clue what it could have been. I was very careful. One thing I'll note is that when I pulled the case apart, the volume rocker went flying. When putting the phone back together I got it back into place so that I THOUGHT it should work (it was seated properly and felt "clicky" for up/down movements.
But no luck, all that I listed above is non functional, and what I'm left with is a glorified 3.5 in tablet
Any ideas??
Hi, My problem is that sometime stuff get's bruned into the screen. If i reboot my device the problem is solved but what happends if i don't do a reboot?
Thanks in advance, P.S i will try to get a img so i can show you guys what i mean.
Hi.
I made a thread about it some time ago, but apparently not many of us have this problem. Anyway, I also had it, but it goes away after some time with screen off. Also I've disabled auto brightness (left 25%) and I haven't noticed it coming back for quite a while.
I have started noticing a little bit of screen burning, mainly with the clock, but that's about it.
havent faced such problem, It would be great if you post a screenshot

I wonder if you try using the fast reboot application from the market whether that would be a faster and simpler way to resolve the problem than a full device reboot (saver battery too)

Okay i will try to take a SS but it really hard to see it on the camera because i failed at the gym and dropped my ds on the floor and the screen cracked

Hmmm... I am going through a similar problem... I've noticed that when this unresponsiveness occurs and I keep my phone for charging the touch becomes normal again. But as soon as I disconnect the problem comes back.
I had this issue before too. When I was on TheFrankestains miui v10.5... And now I am on RemICS v2.
I'll like to mention here that on v1 of RemICS I didn't face this issue. In v2 the developer did mention a change in the kernel.
Also another er thing with the unresponsiveness the bln is acting weird too. Now I don't know what to conclude from all this.
And ya when it had occurred before I did take it to the customer service. And all they did was remove my screen guard and reflash the stock. :what:
The problem disappeared that time but it has resurfaced again. :sly:

Even I'm facing this issue and thats the exact reason i'm not going to service center. I doubt its a H/W issue cause the screen does work! If it had been a H/W problem then the shouldnt have been any touch response!
Its might be similar to backlight issue but too bad we're facing it on stock aswell.
I had posted a logcat in the dev ICS thread but no response from anyone.
If there are more people facing this issue then please come forward.
I got only one phone. . And i cant use it.

I'm on ICS Alpha V6 . I get this problem occasionally.
Problem occurs when i get a call and the touch becomes unresponsive. Not all the times but sometime. If i lock the screen and unlock it becomes proper. Sometimes it takes 2-3 locks and unlocks. Weird. Never had this problem in stock before .
Everytime this problem starts after a call. Happens on stock as well as custom Roms. Can't figure out if it's software or hardware problem. But the touch becomes normal when the phone's kept on charging.
Anyways going back to the customer service tomorrow. Will tell them to change the touch panel.

Probably Hardware, i am using RemICS v2 and NOT experiencing this issue on both my device and my sister's device (tried the call thing too)
I advise you guys to go to the service center (without a screen protector) and with the stock rom (so they don't have to flash anything) so they see it live, and hence there's no point of flashing stock again (over stock lulz) they'll probably change the screen for you.
i have the same problem now.. i dunno if i will ever get this phone fixed. my warranty's expired for a month.

I'm in Chennai right now. Was having the problem in goa. Don't know if the weather has made a difference.

Same problem for everyone...
is it more likely to be a hardware issue??
It is a Hardware issue.
I gave my phone to the Service Centre yesterday. I called them today to check on the status. They said it's a hardware issue so they'll give it tomorrow. Let's hope for the best...
BTW I will get an extended warranty on the replaced part, won't I?

And the problem is back. Not entirely though.
After deep sleep if I unlock the phone, the touchscreen doesn't work. I have to lock and unlock to get it working.
After unlocking, once the display goes off, the menu and back keys stop working. Have to lock unlock again.
Had flashed cm9 stock kernel yesterday morning since gps isn't working for me in UCv15. Didn't face any problem yesterday after flashing stock kernel.

Can you get into the stock recovery?
Did you try removing the battery for a while and putting it back in? (while=1 hour to let the phone fully discharge)

I literally just woke up this morning and its stuck in a bootloop. It constantly reboots, and when i get into recovery mode it waits a second and then selects the thing thats on-screen. Really aggravating. Every time i use recovery i can only get upto either Restart bootloader<Start>Poweroff before it selects whats on screen.... This is the weirdest problem ever it boots into recovery why the F*** would it not let me select what i want. Is there a way to manually do anything through ADB??? Wasnt even flashing anything, was on the same custom rom for a few months.
Extreme solution if better one isn't found: flash factory image

If you bought it from Google play, you can RMA it in its current state. LG where you send it if you bought it anywhere else, can be a bit trickier.
You may be able to pull the power button a bit to aliviate the issue

I've no idea, never had to RMA. Just tell them the truth. It's rebooting and cannot boot into anything because you suspect a stuck power button
