Been experiencing a lot of phantom /Ghost touch recently as it's summer now here in Australia . I am guessing the lcd is made of crap material and when it gets hot, it keeps registering touch. Weird thing is, if I reboot.. It'll be fine for awhile. Anyone have similar issue or know how to fix?

Hello.
I'm dealing with this PDA that's from a friend. He told me that it's very slow (it had WM5). I update with some homemade ROMs to see what happens and the result has been really annoying:
Operations are sluggish. Even the screen aligning process is horribly sluggish. Everything is slow as hell. The screen seems to miss some taps, too.
What's the problem? Somebody with this problem?
EDIT: I have seen that the touch screen is failing! The taps are hold when the stylus is not on the screen. Could it be a failing touch screen?
Well, later to have checked and tested intensively I've come to the conclusion that this lack of responsiveness is produced due to a hardware error. The touch screen is failing and the CPU processes a large a mount of taps without actually touching it, so it's too busy to process any other task properly.
I hope this help to anyone having the same problem.
Thank
Issue with touch screen ?
Concerning your sluggish PDA, is there a plastic film to protect the screen ?
Some plastic films may cause very weird behaviours as the screen could be fooled and act as if some point on it would be touched. It's all the more true when the film is in contact with both the screen and its frame, due to bad alignment when sticking it.
I had a similar issue with a Tomtom One (1st issue) and was about to send the device back to warranty... everything was solved when removing the protective film !
It's rather obvious with first generation films that were really thicker than new ones.
Hope I was of help...
if you cant fix it and are going to get rid of it i will take it off you. mines motherboard is scrambled, but the screen is fine.
thats if your getting rid of it.
Hi all,
I work for a company that has a lot of HTC touch2 phones. We've had a lot come back recently with similar 'unexplained' damage to the screens which stops the touchscreen part from working. The screen itself seems fine though. I've taken a picture one and attached it.
Does anyone have any idea what might cause this? I'm presuming just screen pressure but it'd be nice to be sure
Cheers

It's showing the "oily smear" issue which seems quite common with HTC's resistive touchscreens. I have a problem with it on my Touch Pro, although the touchscreen is generally usable - it sometimes requires some rubbing to "unstick" the layers of the touchscreen before it works though. When it first happened, the screen didn't work at all.

It seems to be related to excess pressure, but it's pretty common it seems. Mine was just in its T-Mobile provided case in my pocket when it happened.
Please help me with this touch screen problem:
In my HTC sensation 4G touchscreen has been replaced (together with display) and as a result I've noticed that device no longer registers fast swipes. No lag or other problems, just when you move finger fast - touchscreen fails to register it. In multitouch tests circle disappears during fast movements and in games like fruit ninja there is no line after the finger. Guys who helped me tried several digitizers they had in stock and all of them had this same problem.
My original digitizer and these ones are probably different models because mine was T-mobile and these have HTC written in the middle.
So I wanted to ask did somebody stumble upon this issue and is there a solution?
Or is it possible that all new ones they've tried are bad?

i have similar issue. my screen doesn't register any touch on the left half, unless i touch the right half a few times first...:/ my digitizer got changed as well. but after that all is fine...only after i turn off the screen, then on again.....it's a little annoying, but not making my device useless at least.
as for to what's the cause, possibly each phone needs a special digitzer...as for the solution, i tried many, nothing worked...
I read of someone with a similar problem, they took screen apart again and found the wire was slightly pinched, they said they carefully put wires back in place and paid extra Attention to the wires and problem was solved. Now, I personally have not tried it but I did read this fix. Maybe it might help, worth a try? Hope this helps!

I'm on the same boat. Dropped it and cracked the screen. So I bought a replacement screen and replaced it myself. Its the one with just the HTC in the middle. (I'm T-mobile) Well now, like yours, it sucks at registering touch accurately. I have to press solidly on the screen to swipe screens or to open apps. Texting sucks because i have to press on each letter good or else it picks the wrong letter. I've searched for a solution as many have had this issue but seems like they just returned it for a new one. I cant since i replaced the screen and voided my warranty. I have taken it apart twice and carefully reassembled it making sure everything is good and snug and in the right place.....Still no love....Sucks! If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated as i have hit a dead end with this issue. Thanks.

this is quite different problem. Sensitivity of my display is OK unless you move fast. In your case it seems to be the problem of this exact screen. Try downloading SGS Touchscreen Booster from Play Store and play with settings.
Dear members,
I would like to know the truth behind the issues faced by the HTC one X, which I read in many websites across the internet(and few here)
I was decided to get one for me untill last week, but the issues what I read for one X confused me.The issues that I came across was;
over heating(guess its obvious for smart phones)
Wi-fi issues(death grip issue)
screen/display flickering,
yellow spots on display,
Frequent black screens,
Restart troubles,
Music player issues(when music player stops when gallery is used)
Taiwan made phone's facing issues over Chineese made ones.
Kindly address these issues ASAP, as I had already made up my mind to go for HOX, so that I can buy one with relaxed mind...
I cant think of any other smartphones as of now.
Thanks in advance

I second this post and would really like to know how current owners are experiencing these issues.
Mine is a Rogers HTC One X.
Got it about 3 weeks ago. Just sent it in for repair, just outside the 14 day exchange range
overheating wise, yes, it can get a bit warm at use but same for any small tightly packed smartphone. I didn't have any wifi issues or any issues you had stated.
The problem with mine was holding the phone vertically. About half way down, there was a 1cm horizontal strip that did not react to touch. Just where the ok and cancel options pop up on some games/apps. You would need to rotate the screen so you could "tap" those buttons and get a reaction.
I turned on the developer mode and the mouse tracking/button press options and you can trace your finger down the screen and you can see where it stops then continues with a 1cm or so gap between where it wasn't responsive. This gap was the entire width of the screen not just a spot or two in that 1cm zone.
The phone was never dropped, bent, sat on etc. Mint screen and case, no case or touchscreen protection. This issue occurred quite suddenly about 16 days in, only noticed it when some games didn't let me exit when hitting the cancel options. Originally thought the game or the app was at issue. Then realized it was the touch screen. Did a full reset a few times, same problems. Now patiently awaiting for my phone back. Rogers phone/loaner suck as well, gave me a Nokia C3 POS as a loaner. Using my old motorola milestone instead.
Hello, firstly I apologize for my English. I have a Chinese phone Jiayu G2S for over a year, but since few months touchscreen isn't working well. Sensitivity is good and when I have totally dry fingers, all is ok. But when I have it slightly wet, then i can't do anything! When I am clicking on keyboard, then there is "ghost touch" at top of screen, which cause closing keyboard. I was wondering what might be the problem and I thought about my hot baths in a tub with surfing the net. Maybe because of that, moisure get inside a phone? Replacing touchscreen is cheap, but I want know, could it be problem with touchscreen or motherboard?
Problem same like in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=hlSMSQCQWtw
