Need help please! I'm experiencing random deadspots on the touchscreen of my Desire S. But the thing is this "Dead zone" seems to show only on the keyboard when I'm typing. When I press a key , it doesn't respond no matter how hard I press it. This mostly occur on the letter "A" and "N" on the keyboard.
I don't know if this is hardware or a software issue because Locking the phone and immediately unlocking it solves the problem. After waking the phone again, the so called dead zones are gone.
Btw, I mostly experience this issue when using Virtuous 2.37 and MIUI rom. CM7 didn't gave me this problem, so is it possible that this is just a rom related issue? thanks!
I have been experiencing the exact same thing. Except it is always on 2 letter keys that are next to each other. It has only done it a handful of times, but I'm worried incase its a hardware issue.
Anyone got any ideas?

Which keyboard do you both use?
If by chance it's the same one I think that you're answered your question.
Try changing keyboard set if it still happens

i had this problem when using swiftkey x, when it was hppening it was keys a and s not responding so i switched to the stock htc keyboard. the keys then moved to c and v...
very odd
I already tried different keyboards, Swift, Android keyboard, Gingerbread, Perfect keyboard and now touchpal.
I encounter this problem only for two keys, letter "A" and "N" .. I have no idea if this is a hardware issue, But i remembered that it never happened to me while using CM7 rom.

i wish some1 knew if this is a hardware issue or not... the most annoying thing is that its intermittant. i have only have it happen a total of 5 or 6 times in the last 2 months. it lasts for a few minutes then goes back to normal
Having dissassembled the phone many times.. me thinks it is not hardware. If it was it would be persistent. Try this and report back: download nicky paint from market and try to paint the whole screen with the brush. Failure of the touch screen connector (which causes dead spots) appears in horizontal 1 cm zones in the whole width of the screen

I've downloaded an app called touch test. I think this does the same thing. I wonder why it keeps happening though. It's really annoying not being able to trace it to a particular cause.

Try Flashing This..
Flash it (Keyboard_Flashable.zip) If You like the original htc keyboard without arrows..
May be the prob is with ur ROM..
I wish there was some definite way to tell if it's a hardware fault or not. With me it's always 2 keys that are next to each other. Done it about 3 times now. 1st it was letters a and s. Then g and h. Then then yesterday x and c.

Are you rooted, running a custom ROM or using a custom Kernel?
If not this seriously is a known issue usually because the Sensation is underclocked to 1.2ghz causing sleep/wake issues. Usually fixed by adjustable sleep settings when rooted.
But if you're not rooted then maybe someone else here can provide more indepth answers/help for you. Goodluck!

Hello all,
Today I received my Nexus S, it was a demo model but it looked perfectly fine and I got it cheap.
Now while installing the phone it was doing some weird stuff but I thought well, maybe I'm touching the softkeys. But now sometimes the phone behaves like there are all types of softkeys being touched without touching the phone at all. The phone also vibrates like the softkeys are being touched.
Maybe someone knows this issue and knows how to resolve it?
The phone is still running 2.3
Thanks in advance
Can be closed, send the Phone to retailer and it has been replaced with a new one.
Still dont know what the problem was but I'm satisfied with the solution.
The digitizer is messed up

Dear All,
My HTC One X was causing wifi problems and about two months back, I rooted the deviceand installed insertcoin-endeavor-19.0-4 with HTC Sense 5. Although wifi response got a little bit better but still not at its best. Everything else was working fine till a few days back. Now my camera won't launch, google app store crashes, Go Locker setting section won't open. I didn't install any new app. Can anyone please help me in this regard. Thanks a lot
Hi guys, I bought a display with touch already created to replace on my nexus 4. But this time (I've broken three times) the touch does not work the right way.
The touch works, but I need to connect phone with another touch (which broke) and then with your smartphone on trade for this new I bought. This way it works. But if I shut down or restart the phone, the touch stops working, as if not recognized after reboot.
What can I do to solve this problem? Update drivers? Any suggestions?
Note: I do not want to have to buy another screen and touch.

Here is a thread about similar issues: [Q] Nexus 4 touchscreen and Battery Issues.
Sounds like a hardware issue.
Maybe best to give it to a service center for repair.
But you can register on xda and ask in the [HELP THREAD] nexus4 Ask any question..
Maybe there are experienced users having the same device like you, who can provide more specific help in this case.
Good luck !
Thread closed. Thank you!
