So today I just started having this issue out of the blue. Sometimes the touchscreen and the capacitive buttons stop responding and most times when I touch a part of the screen it shows me as touching another part of it.
If I lock the phone then unlock with the power button, it'll be fine for a bit then happen again.
Is this issue known and is there a fix for it?

Have you flash a Custom ROM?
May be the custom ROM is nit compatible with your phone
May be your touch panel is damaged. Go to the service centre and repair your touch panel
Seems A Perfect Example of Water Damaged Phone.. i actually damaged my phone with water few months back..
if you think it might be.. best way to remove water before giving it to repair is just remove the batter(if possible) and put it into an airtight bag ful of rice

I have flashed a custom rom. Omega rom though it was a few months ago. I never dropped it or had water spilled on it. It just happened out of the blue.
The thing is if I lock and unlock the phone it'll work for a bit then the ghost touching will happen.

Hello everyone,
Today i installed my parrot bluetooth carkit. And after i connected a couple of times my phone became unstable.
So unstable that i'm not able to tap the screen.....
I don't know what happened due that i have hard resetted the phone a couple of times and even switched from m-rom to energyrom 3.0 with the same results.
Only one thing that was strange is that the touch pro start up screen with the red characters in the right bottom.
That after i flashed m-rom to energy rom that the touch pro characters in the middle were still different like the way that are made in m-rom. With the addition : powered by m-rom
So this means that the phone doesnt format his core
Help please give me any advice.
UPDATE:When backlight is dimmed, it will be bright if i touch it once. Afterwards it will maintain the same.
I have tried several roms and tried to restore my SPL aswell, without any results till now.
I'm getting desperate now. Due that i stays in the screen of ALLIGNMENT, so i'm really not able to start up anything from now.
Have you dropped your device recently?
Try flashing a stock/shipped rom and hard-reset when after flashing the rom when you get to the "Tap here to set up your device" screen.
I have a OIL spot in the screen when i keep it in bright light.
This could be occured when the phone was inside my bag during my beach visit.....
I guess the phone turned liquid by the sun....
Does somebody ever experienced the same issue?

I have a oil spot, and the raster of the phone with little dots in visible in the ligt.
I have made a repair order at HTC.
Which didn't satisfy me at all!
They told me that it is not covered by warranty. I was shocked, this will cost me around 70 euro to fix, and my shop warranty is still valid. So i called the shop to explain this.
And they said if this is not caused by a user, we will change the phone, but first we what to have a diagnose from HTC.
So i decided to let HTC pick up my phone . They will have a repair time of 5 up till 10 days.
That's fair, but i'm not really happy with this situation. Because i think that the screen is the most harmful component. And this means that if this part fails that my phone becomes obsolete.
I will post my conclusion after i got my phone repaired.
I will return to the STOCK spl and the original rom just for warranty purposes.
dont tell them that you spilt anything on it or dropped it. Although they will be able to tell if there is water damage to the device you might get lucky and they won't notice.
Now is the oil spot from leaving it in the sun or suntan lotion getting in the device?

Nope nothing happened at all.
Thats the strange thing about this situation.
I was in the shadow of the sun and the bags were only filled with clothes. So it didn't drop or something else.
I was able to use my phone during the day.... and was getting more unresponsive during the time that went by.
So i will not accept any blame of myself, due that i have a warranty of 1 year from the factory which will not cover your display :S
But also have the store warranty... So i told the store that i will return the phone if there are any costs.
The store told me that they will wait on the diagnose of HTC which i have sent it to myself to reduce the time.
If the diagnose tells that it's not my fault, then i can return my phone probably.... He couldn't promise it due that i want to see the diagnose first.
So I will wait on HTC's conclusion.... And i'm afraid that they will try to blame me for it....
They better not I will be a pain in there arses
Hello, I have exactly the same problem. After flashing from energyrom 3.0 to Aurora, a few hours later, i couldn't get my phone out of lock. (slide a button to the right or left on your touchscreen)
I tried a soft reset, but the phone started up with the same locked screen. So, i tried a hard reset. From that moment on i got stuck at "align screen". I ve flashed several times with several ROM's but nothing. (by the way, whatever rom i install, the first screen always says: Energyrom by NTGZ28)
I used the trick to paste welcome.not on the micro card, to bypass the align screen. That works, but the touch screen doesn't work. I 've removed the protection of the screen, but that doesn't make a difference either. My device didn't fall, came into contact with water or anything that could harm the thing. Oh, when the backlight is dimmed, the screen reacts to tapping it. Please help me out ??
resolt the issue. Because of a lot scraches (spelled ok?), i removed the protective screen. When i put the new screen on, everything worked !

i had does as well and then touch screen stopped working..
had to replace digitizer, unfortunately had to replace LCD screen and digitizer at the end (was not able to separate digitizer from LCD)
I'm not sure if it's lag or what, but my phone screen won't come on. I think it's a ribbon that was disconnected or something though. For about a few hours if I were to press power to see the lock screen, all I saw where a bunch of rainbow static. Then I powered my phone on and off because nothing would work and now it's jut black! Does anyone know what's wrong? I can't boot into clockwork so I don't think it's a rom problem. Does anyone know the problem or have any idea to fix? Anyone I should ask specifically?
maybe water? even having my phone in the bathroom while i take a shower cause me that
It's not water, I never bring my phone close to place with water :/
can you boot into the screen where there are 3 droids with the skateboards? (i not sure whats the name)
I think I can boot and my phone still works, because it still rings when someone calls and it still vibrates when someone text it, but I just can't pick up or reply (because the screen won't come on). I should be able to boot into that thing, but I can't anything :/
well bro sorry i cant help you :/ maybe it could be the screen,the ribons or somethings loose. did it fell?

Seems like either broken ribbon that connects the screen to the "motherboard', or dead screen itself. That's exactly how 1 of my phones died (it was too complicated to disassemble and fix it myself)
But once I had similar problem with my TP2, the screen first become unresponsive to any touch, and then it went just black after restart (and every next restart). However all keys did work.
Hard reset somewhat helped, the screen actually came back, but it was still stuck on setting up Windows Mobile (if you know WinMo: the part where you calibrate touchscreen), apparently "touch" part of the screen didn't work.
I thought it is ribbon or screen assembly, but since all the keys worked I flashed another ROM and what do you know: all problems went away. It worked fine for as long as I had it. I never figured out what caused it/was the problem.

Yea I think that's the problem here. I think I'm just going to borrow a friends mt4gs to use and navigate recovery and do a back up and just buy a new one and restore. Thanks for all the help guys
Some weeks before my sg3 got drenched a bit(I went to a beach & sg3 was in my pocket). Now its touchscreen is acting weird. Sometimes it works just fine, sometimes not.
Anyways all hard buttons are working. I tested soft keys in CWM recovery. They failed to work on recovery sometimes, so that means it is not a ROM problem. I reflashed CM7 twice. Problem remained.
I noticed, in moisted weather, it becomes unresponsive.
Any suggestion or trick/tweak or fix?

The connection between the input circuitry and the board must hav got shortcrcuited as sea water contains salt;;thus giving rise to unresponsive soft keys n touch screen..
Even i had dropped ma G3 into a bucket of water...The same thing happend....
I dint go to the service centre rathr i googled it..
Landed on a reliable solution...

^AFAIK, there isn't any other option but to replace your touch panel. And trust me, I'm telling this from my experience. I faced the exact same problem a little over a year back. The touchscreen as well as the soft keys would occasionally behave weirdly. I even tried a few fixes that I found on the internet (like putting it in a bowl of uncooked rice for a few hours, etc..), but to no avail.
So finally I gave up and went to Samsung Care. Although my phone was still under warranty back then, water damage wasn't covered under it. The guy initially demanded 1.5k to replace the touch panel, but after a l'il pleading, he agreed to do it for free.
Anyways, so I'd suggest you to simply walk into the nearest Samsung service center or your local mobile repair wala and get it replaced. Initially they might demand ~2k, but try bringing them down to around 1.5k!
Hope that helps.
When my sg3 fell into the water i quickly put it in a jar full of rice and it sucked out all the moisture from the phone...
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda app-developers app
2 weeks ago suddenly my phones touch screen from bottom stopped working, I thought it was temporary issue but it's moving on upward, now my touchscreen from right side is also stopped working. All navigation keys are working properly, as well display is working. 2 weeks ago I used my phone in rain for calls but I immediately wiped it off. I have already tried wiping data which didn't help . what should I do now?
Sounds like a hardware failure. Unless your S7 has for some reason lost its waterproofing and water got in the phone, you should take it back to your telco, although it's gonna cost a bit of coin to get the screen replaced if you've voided the warranty.

It's out of warranty, is it possible to replace only touchscreen as display is working fine?

so today i saw a black line on the screen and also the phone touch screen is touching on the same pixel on the black line
this problem popped suddenly
any known solution?
ps i dont have xiaomi warranty
It seems to me that physical damage (hardware) screen, perhaps exerted a lot of pressure on it
