So the other day my phone got soaked with water and I dried it out completely and everything but now every time I unlock my phone I have to endure about 3 minutes (sometimes longer) of ghost touches at the bottom of the screen after which it works perfectly. How could I fix this problem and what parts could I possibly need ? Just a screen and digitizer or an entire display ? Please help. Also, I'm nowhere near an Alcatel Support centre so please don't recommend that ??

Last night I was going to bed and tried to set up an alarm for the morning after. I then noticed that my PDA doesn't respond to touches. Everything else works just fine. There are some ripples on the screen and they can be noticed if you view it at a low angle. Here's how it looks:

The devise hasn't been abuse in any way. It hasn't been exposed to high nor too low temperatures(outside yesterday evening was around -2 ~ -3 degrees Celsius). Although I think that the short call I made(less than 10 seconds) couldn't have been enough to let the cold damage it. After and before that it has been in my trousers pocket.
Can anyone tell me what could have done this?
P.S. Digitizer - my mistake
Can't tell you what is the problem with your device but if it's digitizer you can get a cheap one here http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32150
it's just you have to wait a few weeks for it to come (at least I had to with some other things I bought on DX)
and I didn't buy this digitiser so I can't tell you more about it.
Hi!
have you put the screen protector on it anytime recently? If so, remove it and try again. I had this also once - bought and screen protector from the local HTC dealer, put it on (done it always so it wasn't the first time) and after a while I had the same problem as you. I did everyhting, hard resets, put a new ROM on..nothing. I also noticed the "oily spots" so I was frustrated. Finally I removed the protector and all of the sudden everything worked again.
I then bought a new protector and put it on very gently, I almost didn't push the portector on the screen and it works again. Still don't know if it was just a bad protector or what ws wrong. Try it..much simpler and easier than to go for a new digitizer.

The last time I've put a new one was November and to be honest I didn't expect it to last this long... after all a six-pack cost about $4
Can't try it now though cause the device is still in warranty and I returned in the shop for repair. I'm going to phone the guys there and inform them and I hope it works, cause they said that the problem is from the OS and reinstalling it will fix the problem. Don't think that it'll help but after giving it to them it's their problem to fix it I just want it working and if possible - faster
P.S. Did your digitizer stopped working at all or you'd have to push really hard to respond?
I have the same problem, I heated the screen with a air blower and the screen started responding. I don t think it is a permanent repair but at least it saves the day. This is my first day of repair so I don't know how long it will last.
End of april I tried extreme heat and cold on the screen and all of a sudden it started responding again. I still have that oily look on the lcd but it is working properly for almost 2 months now. (Just a quick update) (In the meantime I ordered spare LCD to replace it next time it stops responding)
I need someone to be able to heat up a HTC HD2 touchscreen to see if the problem with touchscreens not working is the two layers of glass are splitting and heating and pressing will help or destroy.
The other problem with them is when you press the end button the touchscreen goes out but later responds like normal.
I probably need a electric oven to do this evenly
Thanks
use a hair dryer

Have you found a solution to this problem. thanks in advance.
My nexus 4 got wet in rain. I don't think water entered the phone but there was water on the screen for an hour. The phone is working properly. The screen display is proper. But some part of screen is not responding to touch input. My phone is not rooted. Can i recalibrate the screen ? Or any other solution. The warranty period is over. Please help.
Thank you

Remove battery use FAN heat the phone from inside and outside then if you live where there is 25+ Celsius then leave your device for like three hours and it should be fine. Note heat inside very well.
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.

The touch sensitivity has gone really bad and it's kind of like ghost touch now, sometimes it fix sometime it occurs again idk whatis causing this. Is there any way to fix?
do you notice a bend on your phone ? ?
just keep it on a flat surface.. check..
touch sensitivity normally is not a software problem..
if you see a wobble.. try to fix it.. may be your touch will be back to normal..
i had a small bend.. had to replace the display..
I did it at authorised service centre..
they took care of the bend also ..
this is the second time I changed the display..
first time it got cracked in my pocket..

No there is no bend, I kept my phone safe, it never fall nor exposed to water or something but still sometimes the touch sensitivity and input becomes very low and sometimes it get backs to normal
