Hi folks,
few weeks ago I cracked my screen because my phone fell on the floor...
I finally decided to get it fixed in a phone store.. After they changed the screen I noticed that the edge sense didn't work proper.
For a second I thought, Well.. It's buggy and a restart will probably fix it but it didnt fix it. Once I turned edge sense off and again on under the settings the phone started to randomly do screenshots, turn on and off the flashlight and all kind of weird stuff. I looked like I would be pressing the edge sense all time time. So the other day I went to the shop again and told them whats wrong. They told me, no problem.. we will take a look. Turned out they damaged a edge sensor while replacing the screen, they ordered all sensors and replaced all. But even after replacing all sensors I still have the same issue with the phone doing what it wants once edge sense is turned on. Now the dude from the shop told me that its a software because he replaced the old sensors with newer/different sensors and the software doesn't recognize them right or something like that. They want me to go back to stock so they can upgrade / flash some update and this should fix it. Tbh, I dont feel like going back to stock, it just takes a lot of time since I am on Leedroid.

Anyone had a similar issue? Is there a way to fix it somehow without going to back stock?
Many thanks in advice.

so ive had my evo shift for awhile and no problems with it.. well last night when i went to pull out my keyboard to reply to a text mesage my touch screen stopped working.. and i do mean all the screen including the home, menu, back, and search buttons.. so i pulled the battery off and was able to get the buttons working, but everytime i pull the keyboard out it does the same thing as before. so i thought it might have been the rom so i reflashed miui and still the have the same problme. i went ahead and flashed shiftdeck and still same problem. now if i dont open up the keyboard im able to use the phone as normal, but really annoying which is why i opted for the shift due to the keyboard.. has anyone experienced this or can point me in the right direction?

Is it completley turning off? Black screen?
If it is there have been a couple other threads about this.
We believe it is due to wearing on the flex cable (which happens in slider phones)
Sprint will replace this free of charge as long as you unroot before you bring it to them.
..
If this is not your issue then idk what to tell you
nope screen does not go black at.. i noticed that if i do pull the keyboard screen doesnt work, if i slide the keyboard and leave it alone for about 5 min or so touch screen will start working.. thats why i figured it would have been an issue with the rom. as for taking it back to sprint i flashed this phone to cricket due to lack of sprint service. i have an evo 3d i recently flashed to cricket but i cant let my shifty die.. lol
Like notso said it's in all likely hood the Flex Cable. If you don't want to take it into Sprint, you can buy the Flex Cable off Ebay. It's about $40 bucks. But I would probably go through the trouble of flashing back to Sprint stock and taking it to them for repair. But that's just me. But if your already on Cricket that means you don't have Sprint TEP. So you might as well fix it yourself.
i bought my gf a thunderbolt about 2 months ago. and lately her screen just starts acting up. like the home screen will just spin and pretty much spaz. she can be in the middle of something and widgets start moving around and the screen starts spinning. thers no case or any screen protectors. anyone have any ideas?
My aunt had this same problem and I didn't believe how crazy it was until I attempted to use her phone, I never seen a phone act like that. I tried an assortment of things to fix it but nothing I tried worked. She did have a screen protector on that I thought could be causing that problem but I guess not. She has sense then taken it back to version and had it replaced. No issues from the referb.

digatizer?
Mine recently starting acting funky and strange but not as you describe. It was almost as if a magnet was pulling some of the pixels and causing distortion of colors. It also seemed to freeze up my camera really strange like.. I removed PRO HDR which is a cam app I recently updated and did a reboot and now it's fine. You try a back up/wipe/restore yet?
I have had this happen as well but it seems to happen to me if I set the phone down and don't push the button to put the phone to sleep. It actually happened much more when I was unrooted and running stock but since installing Liquid Smooth GB 3.2 the frequency has really diminished. If anyone has a permanent fix I would love to hear it and try it out.
im really baffled im pissed because i didint buy it through verizon so idk maybe i can contact htc fora referb.
I've never dabbled in HTC customer service but I'm sure they would back a phone with troubles such as yours

Hello all.
I have an sensation. 5 months ago it fell. Screen was cracked. Some shop repaired it for me back then. Since then I have been getting more and more touchscreen issues. Sometimes it doesn't even respond at all. What I will have to do then is put screen on sleep again and activate it again. I have been trying different ROMs and kernels so I have a feeling it isn't the software.
Yesterday I went back to the shop and he blamed it on the different ROM. So I'm now installing my old 2.3.3 backup. He said that with 2.3.3 my screen would work again. However, I don't believe him. I think he just messed up my digitizer.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this issue?
UPDATE #1:
Installing my old backup didnt even work. It hung on the white startup screen.
Please someone help me!
me too. having screen problems after changing digitizer.
changing the digitizer on this device is a major catastrophe...
Hi all, I have a weird problem with the proximity sensor in my HTC Titan. I got a new Titan about a week ago, to which I immediately installed HSPL and Dynamics rom. After I did all the tweaks and installs I like, I noticed that every time I dial a phone call the screen goes off and stays that way until the number I called answers. If the number does not pick up, only thing I can do is remove the battery basically to hang the call up. I noticed that removing the back cover slightly affects the issue and its easier to get the screen back on (by pressing the power button), but still removing it does not solve the problem. With a handsfree I can actually stop the call as it has an accessible end call button.
I tried flashing another custom rom and also a stock rom, both had the same issue. So, I took the device for warranty repair. I got it back today from HTC, with a note saying that software has been updated and problem has been fixed. I tried the device and surely it was working. Well I can’t live without an fully unlocked device and against my better judgment flashed a custom rom again… And surprise surprice the problem appeared back.
Im thinking here that could I adjust the proximity sensor from the registry, if its somehow too sensitive or something. Strange part naturally is that other people with same rom are not experiencing this behavior, so it is device specific problem. Also I don’t think I can take the device back again and say yeah I was flashing some custom roms on it and lost whatever you did with it.
There a Proximity folder at HKLM and I tried changing some values there but no affect at all. It probably would be better to have someone who understands about the values little try to take a look.
Thanks a lot!
It's a hardware problem. I got the same issue after 2 months of use. I sent to repair but they wanted to charge me to do that, so I haven't fixed it but I still can get the screen back by pressing and rubbing my finger on top of the sensor.
But when I got it back from repair today it was working. I made few phone calls and it was working totally like normal.
you are not alone

I can tell you that you are not the only one with this problem, it happened the same to me. I'm still unsure if the problem is hardware or software, but I think it's software because it happened just after I install Dynamics_2.0_Titan. I really wish that someone will bring a good solution for it.
Sup Community,
I am keeping this short, so
My S8 is currently in a workshop and getting repaired. I got my father's old S6 edge, which was not repaired correctly. This means, the display was broken and we got it repaired. A few days after it the camera on the back stopped working - however everything else was fine. I installed a custom rom and my father used it without any issues. A few days ago, I got it as a replacement and installed a new custom rom.
Basically, I have this issue : The phone runs smooth and fine, except the back camera. But if it is not charging and obtains energy from the battery, it is a question of minutes until it crashes and bootloops until I plug in a charger and start it again. After I unplug it from the battery charger, the same starts from the beginning. At the first moment I thought it was a software related issue, but... I did install at least four different custom ROMs and a stock room with Odin without any changes. Could someone give me at least a hint, what my actual problem is? Thanks in advance!!
The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge appears to have a bad battery, maybe it got damaged if it got removed from the phone during screen replacement.
Back camera, I'm not sure how that went bad but could be from the drop and just suddenly decided to go bad a few days later, could either be loose connection from camera being plugged into the board or the rear camera needs to be replaced.

Thanks for your reply first of all. I searched online for same issues and found almost the same answer you wrote. Is there a possibility to repair both, battery and camera by myself?(YT Tut. + store for replacements or something similar)?
