how did this happen? i also encounter a similar problem, when the phone gets warm... when i press on the right side, the click registers mode and more to the left... and when that happend, if i try to go to the alignment screen, it just hangs in there like.. forever... if i put the phone in standby mode, everything gets back to normal in a few minutes.. the problem repeats every time the phone gets warm...

YEAH! ) i sent mine to warranty today, lol 15 long days at max until it will be back in my loving arms
i dont know if this might help
i used to have flickering screen, not being able to display alpha blend, transparencies or the colour black, and also not being able to keep the screen alignment (it resets everytime i soft reset the phone) ....
this happens when i used the latest update from htc.
it seems that the upgrade is not suitable for devices bought in 2008 as it has the ols original spl.
i read in the forum and found out that the radio, and the hard spl was part of the problem. so i read on and found that by using Olipro's hard spl 1.93 will fix most of the problem. but its for only gsm devices.
i flashed 1.93 hard spl and all my problems went away...
just sharing!!
i can see some leaked fluid above my screen ........... i cannot even explain it , because it's above the screen but i cannot touch it ........ so it's in between.....
i've had the same thing happen to me and sent it in for warranty.
came back ok for awhile, now its happening again. I usually just suspend my phone (power button) and give the LCD a rub that helps it a little, buts its quite unbearable at times.
I've sent it in to warranty for a second time today, warranty is expiring on the 8th of next month so they better fix it by then .

I have the same screen align problem. When the phone gets hot, the screen alignment screw up, similar to this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-IUzerAT0s&feature=related
I was told this is a hw problem as I've tried flashing different ROMs, update radios etc. but still doesn't help.
Right now I'm trying to avoid using the phone when charging or when it becomes warm. That seems to help a bit. Not sure if replacing the screen will help but a few folks here have suggested that.
ye iv had enough of this problem shall embark on replacing the lcd in a few weeks

dont think that actually helps - you'll prob need to replace the digitizer .

Long story short: it is a hardware problem! nothing you can do to fix it via software... and it gets worse, so get it fixed
I have just received mine from service a few days ago... Of course i lost my warranty and I paid almost 200$ to get it fixed... The front case gets replaced entirely (that includes both digitizer and LCD), because it comes in one piece... all components are stuck together that is, even if you have a perfectly working LCD, it will be replaced anyway... Fortunately this helped and I am not experiencing any problems... Also I've been told that this problem may occur again, after some time (1-2 years), if the phone is heavily used (gps, connected on 3G + screen awake for a long period of time), and that the simptoms may vary: some get the digitizer / misalignment problem, others get weird spots on their lcd, etc...
Hope i didn't make to many mistakes and that my reply will help you understand and get your problem solved...

I'm not too sure about that actually - how you stated the LCD / Digitizer and case comes all in one.
I've actually experienced the same issue, sent it back the first time. Fonebiz did not replace anything but a flex cable. Ironically, issue came back after a months time.
Sent it in a second time for warranty, i specifically included a note stating the issue - they replaced the LCD, but did not replace the digitizer; so guess what ? issue came back within the month.
Phone was finally out of warranty, i decided to send HTC a ***** email and they were very helpful and they've promised me a replacement. Waiting for Fonebiz to check for hardware faults if its all clear then i get a new phone

i assure you cannot replace just the lcd, not without a hammer! I got my old part back, I can take some pictures of it, just in case And the digitizer is one and the same with the front case... the diamond is a very small phone, that's why there are no screws or other stuff to hold together the lcd and the rest of the case.
So unfortunately for you, they may have told you they replaced the lcd, but i think they did nothing :|
It is very clear that we had the same problem... the digitizer itself got broken... not some cable or lcd
anyway, if your phone has warranty, you are a happy man
Hello XDA,
My Nexus 5 running CM12 5.0.2 nightly will not respond to the touches anymore infact when I press the power button to activate the display it acts as if someone is touching it randomly messing all the apps that are running and opening and closing many other things.
Furthermore it displays weird and burned lines throughout the screen. It was not dropped, no water went inside the device or anything. If it helps I did install the OTA updates that CM gives us.
I have also attached pictures so you may get a better understanding of my problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm I see. Well since a month HAS passed, its definetly not the rom thats causing the problem, i don't know if anything regarding the software could even be causing the problem. Its 100% hardware and by that i mean the screen, you should change it, the touch and also the display are messed up.

I hate to be the bringer of bad news - but your screen is toast. Fortunately you can replace the touch and display components all at once.
http://www.amazon.com/Skiliwah-Digitizer-Assembly-Google-nexus5/dp/B00HN0U168
Here is what you need to perform the repairs - and here are the procedures for disassembly.
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Disassembling+Nexus+5+Display+Teardown+-+liquid+damage/32410
Trust me, it's not that difficult. Unfortunately, it's a bit pricey ($60 for the screen and digitizer), nevertheless much cheaper than a new device or sending your device in for repairs.

Problem Solved
The screen isn't toast, neither is the digitizer. I have 2 of these phones. The parts which cause problems like this are the main board and the ribbon with the USB connector on it, which also attaches the screen & digitizer to the main board. One was showing lines exactly like this, & also no touch. I put a replacement main board in. Works great now. The other, wouldn't even turn on. I put the main board from the first phone in the second one, it still wouldn't turn on. I replaced the ribbon cable, it turns on and perfectly replicates the issue from the first phone. So now, I have one fully functioning LG Nexus 5, and another which turns on with the same problem as yours. This is good, I started out with 2 of them that were useless to me. So, it appears that your display and touch issues are caused solely by a bad main board. A replacement main board costs somewhere around $75. After swapping stuff around, I have 2 bad main boards, 1 bad USB ribbon & 1 working phone of 2. Not bad, not bad at all.
Hello guys,**
Well few days ago I accidentally dropped my Nexus 5 in a glass of water for just 1 sec. So I immediately switched it off and wait a bit to let dry then restarted it, and all seemed to work fine. But just some days later and up to now the phone boots up all fine as usual to the lock screen, and from there I can pull down the notification bar (and navigate through it, activate/deactivate wifi, etc..) but when I unlock it to get to the home screen it becomes all back and nothing appears on the screen even though the phone is still on.*
It's really confusing and weird. When I call the phone it rings (so no signal or sound problem) but I can't still access the screen to take the call as it's all back and unresponsive.
Following some suggestions I disassembled the phone and cleaned it dry but same results again! So now I think the problem is somehow related to the motherboard, coz as you might notice on some of the pictures attached, it seems that some plastic parts have melt down to cover other smaller parts. Anyway guys,*I'm just wondering if some of you guys had experienced something like that and if you were luckier*to find a solution or any directives that could help. Or you even think that's a motherboard problem like, do you know any ways to fix that o buy a new one somewhere??
PLEASE!!
Sorry apparently, I can't publish links until I get like 10 posts or plus..
But anyway guys, I'd really appreciate your help.
Why did you power it on and short circuit it on purpose for??
Bump
@SekouCheikh
Maybe it's a coincidence that you dropped it in water and this happened a few days later. Once in a blue moon mine does something similar to this (although not usually as start up only after lots of use), but I think it's related to an app or xposed. I only notice it after installing a bunch of crap again. Maybe try a factory reset (do it though the computer) just to see if it is somehow not hardware related? That's what I would try first.
Help please
Ttt
Wait... Are you seriously posting from 2 different accounts??
<...>
First, simply try to factory reset or flash a new rom. There is not enough evidence to be sure it's a hardware problem, it could just as well be a coincidence that it started happening just now.

Was working and then suddenly just stopped responding to the middle part of the screen. Resorted back to back up and same issue
Is this a hardware issue and is there any fix?
Anyone helped here or is the phone Fubarred?
As getting annoying. Was going to try a factory reset but not sure if it can be fixed by this. Is there any fix like replacing screen or is that cash down the drain?
cheers

thing is I dont want to waste spending euros if this wont fix it. The top and bottom of the screen work ok its just the middle and screen not cracked or anything but if I spend money on it and it does not fix it just a waste of Euros then. Before I do just want to check could it be any other issue?

Reading up I can see it maybe the digitizer also. So If the screen gets replaced does the digitizer get replaced with it, Tried to find out if they are connected?

They must be replaced in combo.Even if there's a way to separate them,it might not be the best idea.

I registered just to respond to you and let you know that replacing the screen did not work for me.
I bough this phone online a few months back but gave up on it because it was literally unusable due to ghost touch inputs. I have since installed LineageOS and completely replaced the old screen and STILL get ghost inputs along the whole right edge of the phone.
Some people say it's due to an issue with the grounding of the screen. I've tried many solutions and the touches still seem random.

We've heard of similar cases here on XDA before, sounds like a dodgy digitizer to me.
Had the same problem last year, after that I started getting these so-called snowstorms and my phone kept rebooting itself.
I ended up purchasing a new screen on eBay and was lucky enough to get a genuine one for about 70 Euros.
All went well for me, new screen's working flawlessly.
If the problem persists or even gets worse you should perhaps think about whether it's worth the money.
Removing the old display and assembling the new one isn't that difficult, there's quite a few YouTube videos out there.
If you have any further questions feel free to ask.
Edit: When did you start having that problem? I don't think it's probable but maybe it's got something to do with the ROM you've got installed. Try flashing another one (e.g. AEX Pie, LOS 15.1 or stock) without any custom kernels or boot into TWRP to see if you've still got the same issue. Play around a bit to see if the problem still persists. Remember to back up your important data. Again, this probably isn't the cause but it's still worth trying before considering to buy a new screen or phone.

No problem. Here's the link: https://ebay.to/2N7SQYO
Hope it's OK to post this on XDA.
I've suffered this issue since 1 year and last month the phone couldn't display itself anymore, my trick was to slightly twist the phone using both hands and it will temporarily enable the display, got tired of it and I went to a local mall offering mobile phone repair services, told them the issue, most of the shops refused or would just advise me to get a new screen buty persistence in telling that the screen is fine it might be just a small misalignment or loose contact and thankfully one technician listened to me and just asked if I'm willing to risk the screen being damaged and we'll what do you know he just re seated it and walla phone is alive again in fact I am typing this through my S5
