I am hoping that you guys can help.
My spouse purchase a HTC Fuze a little while back. She used it for
a few months. She was then deployed to Iraq. The phone has been
off for the last 3 months. It was working fine when last used. Recently,
I powered it up and the touch screen is not functioning properly.
You can not use it to dial phone numbers, send texts, and such.
Basically, it does not function correctly really. When it just sitting,
it will roll through options on the screen as if it is being touched
and will not stay on the home setting.
What could the problem be? Can this be fixed? I have tried a soft reset
which hasn't worked. It is disturbing since this is a fairly new phone.
Thanks in Advance!
try re-calibrating the screen! if that fails - hard rest it.
How do you re-calibrate the screen?
settings-system-screen
I am under the settings menu but I don't see anything that says system.
Bear in mind that if I have to use the touch screen to get to it then it
would be a no go.
it's a tab in the button if you get there by moving down fron the lowests icon then you can move to system
its a tab in what button. Can you some one give me the exact step by step to get there?
try using the circular thing (joystick) to get there! i'm running a custom rom, so your settings layout may be different.
circular joystick to get where.
Can I have a step by step? I can't find system anywhere.
My touch screen displays but it does not do anything when
I touch it. I have to use the physical buttons.
to go up and down in that menu but if you have a stock rom you may have a different folder for "system", i'm not sure.
Figured out where that is now. I didn't realize that
you were talking about the start button for windows.
I went to that section and it asks you to go through the
align screen process but it does not respond to the taps
of the wand. Is that how we recalibrate?
If this doesnt work, what can be done to get the screen working?
try this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_For_Beginners#Hardx20.Reset
hard reset your phone
If I do that, I will lose all my contacts and data on my phone, right?
How do I prevent this?
your best bet is to hope you have "PIM backup" and use it to back up everything, including custom folders. hopefully you can navigate using the hardware keyboard. (custom backup allows you to pack up specific folders and/or files). back it up to your storage card, THEN hard reset it.
also, if you have your phone's contact list synced via active sync, just hard reset and it'll restore your synced contact list.
good luck
EDIT: please delete this. double post of preceding reply.
Will a hard reset actually fix this problem with the touch screen
or this just a try it and see approach?
Contacts saved on my SIM will not be affected by a hard reset, right?
Do a hard reset then,
Yeah, if you already save your contacts in the sim then go ahead and do a hard reset. Just follow the start up procedure on the phone, hope this will solve your problem. Please let us know.
Will a hard reset actually fix this problem with the touch screen

man, nobody knows for sure. it will give you a blank phone, just like the first dday you turned it on (software wise). if the screen has some hardware damage - you will know after the hard-reset. let us know how it went!
so what is actual purpose of a hard reset over a soft reset?
Why would this work to reset the screen over a soft reset?
Guys, I have a problem that is driving me mad. I have a Huawei u8100. I recently installed a custom rom that might not be adecuate for my mobile. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295844)
First, the ubication of the backward arrow doesn't fit with the "touchable zone". I have to press it a few cm left to make that butom work. Well, I try to recalibrate a few times and now I have a phone with no one of the buttoms working
The buttoms are not phisical at all, I mean, they are touchable but they are at the end of the screen. Well, the problem is that if I touch the buttoms, the phone thinks i want to touch the end of the screen (for example my launcher dock).
I wipe all things , and installed many rooms and try with thousand of backups, but nothing worked. And obviously i can't fix this with the calibration app.
I'm desperate, I need something to help me. I promise I will give you all the money that I have in my paypal account (Around 2 dollars, it's not much, i'm not gonna lie). Please, help me. Sorry for my english.

Happened to me twice before, it is a pain in the rear. To fix you need to change your lcd density. Many apps from the market can do this. Find out what your screen density is supposed to be. Now here is the tricky part. When it happened to me none of my buttons would work on the touchscreen because they where all out of frame. I managed to remember how to scroll down to change the screen density and I use my trackpad to scroll down and change the screen density. Now what you can do is download a rom that has the screen density setting for your device, do a hard reset and flash that rom. Or, if memory serves me correctly, you can use the update file for your firmware version. Create a folder called dload on your sd card, through using 91pcsuite and connecting phone to pc via usb, go into recovery mode and mount sd card to inable the cre3ation of this file on the root of your sd card. Next you must find the UPDATA.APP file with your phones original firmware. Place that inside the dload folder you just created on your phones sd card. Now, switch your device off. Now press end call button, volume up and power on key. Keep holding all these down until your screen says, Installing firmware update. Once that is done the phone will switch off. Switch your device back on and give it time to load. Everything should now be just as if you had recently bought your phone. Anyways, hope you come right dont worry about the money, Merry Christmas, and let me know if you still struggling. If this doesn't work then you better hope someone is going to buy you a new phone for Christmas. It took me 5 hours to get mine going again. Never play with screen density settings and whach what roms you flash as some have some hidden B.S. Good luck and God Bless.

if you want to change your density you need to change ro.sf.lcd_density=
in the build.prop in your system files. (to maybe 160 or something)
Men, you are a genious. I managed to install the app, but i'm too scaried about changing this because i don't know what numbers i have to put. Can you please tell me that?

Man i tried to reduce the lcd densivity and the screen looked smaller, but i wasn't succed in reached a good calibration, the screen automatly goes hiper messed up and i spent a lot of time to reach the calibration acceptable like it was but with no buttoms ( and using zmooth lite app). I'm too terrified to touch something again, so i will wait for you to help me .
And the i didn't understand too much about the second method. Tawahaha told me to do something like that
With this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011527 but i don't know if it's the same you told me. and it didn't work of course.
Wating for you to save me ! .

Hey bro, if you have downloaded a custom rom.zip, open that zip file in windows with unzip etc. You will see a file called Build.prop, open that file in your windows with notepad etc, Now only go and change the part that says some thing like ro.ril.desity=250, This is just an example I am giving you so do not use these exact numbers. Once you find out the density for your phone screen then you can add your density into that line(i.e.=250). Once you have changed that, save the file and put it back into your rom.zip. Windows will ask you if you want to replace the existing file in build.prop, and you must say yes. Once that is waxed, wipe your phone clean, sd-card,battery stats, rotate settings, everything. Then plug ya phone up to pc via usb, open 91pcsuite and transfer your edited rom.zip file onto your sd card. Flash that to ya phone and reboot, bang, after waiting to reboot you should have the correct screen lcd density size etc. Follow these steps to the letter and make sure you have a rom.zip that relates to your phone. Otherwise, download original firmware for your device, put it on your sd card in a folder called dload. Then pull out battery and turn on by holding endcall(red button), volume up and power on. Hold these keys down in order and keep each one pressed while pressing the other. You will see your phone saying"installing and unpacking firmware update", once this is done reboot ya phone. Either of these methods will work for you and dont be scared to try these things out. Your phone is basically useless now so anything you do can only improve the situation, so go wild and have a ball. This is the only way we learn, do not stress, sooner or later you will wax it. Especially if you follow directions well and can do google searches well. Anyways bro God Bless, hope you wax it.

What has most likely happened is you used an app like advanced settings/ toolbox pro, and you changed your lcd settings, which is what I did twice. It then tells you to reboot and then your screen is screwed. Now, what you have to remember is somewhere on your phone, these stupid settings have been stuck/glued in place, because it seems that you are unable to rectify by wiping. Make sure you install the correct recovery, try huwei ideos 3.0.0.5, this works well. Then try wiping again before installing/flashing a new rom. If you can wipe everything correctly then these settings will dissappear and installing a new rom will fix the lcd density prob. Wipe, wipe,wipe.

Oh,and make sure you get the exact density for your screen, not smaller, not bigger, exact. Otherwise you sill not have the correct aspect ratio no matter what you do. Exact, exact, exact.

Mmmm. I opened all the roms that i' ve found for my phone and all says density=120 (included the wrong rom). And that's my actually rom density (and that's the correct density for my ´phone i guess, because it's the only one that gets the screen looks good and not strange)
And, I have never play with any other app apart from the calibration app (a very ****ing idiot app, because it only ask for two "press" and then it calibrates, diferrently from the calb ap from the stock room that ask for 4 points { and i hve problem with the ones in the bottom of the screen, near the real buttoms]
I have done the dload method, (with tawahahas help) like i said before and nothing happened.
I will try now to erase everything with clockwork (i can't install 3.05 beacuse i can only find the bat file for 3.04 , and i don't know how to intalled it with a different method) like you said, but I have done this before with amonra (which has more wipes options than the clockwork) and nothing happened. I don't know :S PLeeeeeeeeeease help. Thank you so much!.
Hi all
Today I was trying to get my nexus s onto the official ota ICS update by flashing it manually, following guides other people had had success with.
I was on the cm9 ics beta, so I had to flash the full rom of 2.3.6.
This worked completely, however I think the ota update file I downloaded was corrupted, as flashing didn't work, it said something about signature verification failed. So I redownloaded it, from the same link, and the new one was bigger. I tried that, and the same error. I tried wiping data/factory reset etc, and I accidentally started to flash a cm7 rom I had on my phone.
I stupidly did a battery pull as it started to flash (the back cover was off already), and now my touchscreen doesn't work. I was able to successfully flash other roms including the 2.3.6 I downloaded, and I couldn't do the first setup procedure (touch the android to begin). I tried cleaning the screen very carefully with 90% isopropyl alcohol, the same stuff I use to replace thermal paste on cpus.
It still doesn't work. I am hoping it is a software issue that can be fixed otherwise I have to return it.
Someone please help
I have used the search function and none of the solutions I found worked.
(UPDATE) I rebooted again, and when the phone booted into cm7, the "internet" icon(the globe picture) on the bottom left of the dock was in the "pressed" state(orange). It was like the phone thought I was holding my finger on it, which suggested a hardware issue. I cleaned it again and nothing changed. Then I held the phone in the landscape position. When the screen rotated, the button stayed pressed. So the phone doesn't think "this part of the screen is being pressed" it thinks "this internet icon" is being pressed. Rotating the phone again and again didn't change anything, the icon was still pressed in.
Defiantly a software issue. I would try to unroot and reroot. Then if it is still not working, try to format the SD card. You may want to considering buying a USB to micro USB adapter to help you, considering then u could plug in a mouse. I have one just in case I need it.
Thank me if any of this helped
Also try and keep this updated with new info. If I can't help, maybe someone else can.
Sent from my XT862 using XDA App
Thanks techno-update, I will try that. I haven't "unrooted" before, Is that just typing fastboot oem lock or whatever it is instead of fastboot oem unlock?
Also, I found a youtube video with the EXACT same problem.
v=zpfE15Xw_os&feature=related
Skip to 3:15, and you will see when he opens the power menu, the phone thinks he is pressing on one of the options, but he isn't.
I will let you know how unrooting and rerooting goes.
Thanks
(UPDATE)
I tried unrooting and then rooting again. It still does the same thing.
Even in cwr I can't use the capacitive buttons to navigate menus, does that rule out software problems? I am really hoping its just a software problem :/
I need my phone for an outing tonight (im in australia, its 5pm now) and I would appreciate it if some genius could solve this
I am usually the "go to fix it IT guy" in my area, but I can't figure this one out. I have tried formatting the phone, reflashing the mod etc.
Is there some more aggressive COMPLETE wipe or something that fully wipes the phone?
UPDATE 2
Guys please help,
I just flashed zulugen mod, as it has the trinity kernel, I don't know much about android os, but I hoped that that might replace the touchscreen driver or something. The rom flashed correctly, but touchscreen and the capacitive buttons still don't work. Please help
Guys, is there some sort of system partition where the touchscreen drivers are kept or something? And when I pulled the battery as it was flashing cm7, it corrupted these?
Is there some way to fix this?

bump. I need help with this urgently. Is it possible the connections for the screen came loose inside? I would crack it open but don't have screwdrivers for the 3 smaller screws on the last layer of plastic before the pc board.
L80+ Bello D331 (android ver. 4.4.2) stuck on "Just a sec..." loading screen
Hello, I'm new to the community! :good:
I like to mess around with my old phones and LG Bello wasn't an exception. In this case what I did was root it using KingRoot, only to years later remove KingRoot (therefore root) from the phone. Afterwards I did a factory reset and now I'm stuck with the problem stated in the title-- after setting up my Google account the "Just a sec..." screen will pop up and it'll stay that way. I can go back to the previous settings before the "Just a sec..." screen but that's about it, it still won't let me access the phone's actual content.
I've done factory resets with this phone several times without any issues and I'm really confused on what the problem here is, but I'm assuming it's something to do with root being removed. I would try using PC to reinstall the corresponding ROM but there's another issue which is entirely my fault: the phone's volume buttons won't function anymore because I dropped it forever ago, therefore there is no way for me to access recovery mode (which normally would be accessed via pressing down the power button + the volume down button).
Pretty much what I want to know is if there is any way to salvage the phone at this point. If there isn't I don't really mind as, again, this is an old phone I didn't really use for much. But it'd still suck if there is absolutely no way for me to get it fixed.
Thank you in advance!
.
I've got solutions for you:
1) You could replace the power, volume up down buttons by ordering a replacement part online (ebay, i'm not sure if amazon is selling it, ifixit etc.)
2) You can continue without the Google acc and then go to Chrome without logging in and install the KingRoot APK.
