Touch screen not responding

[adderz91]

Well i think my Polaris has finally given me the finger.

The touch screen no longer responds to finger/stylus presses. If i press randomly for long enough it does register a click, but never in the right spot or consistently.

What do you think it could be?

Ive tried reloading different roms that have worked perfectly before, hard resets, and ive even tried taking it apart and reconnecting the connectors.

It was dropped a few days ago but it was fine, then one day, while doing nothing in particular it decided to stop responding to touch input, the normal buttons work fine.

My XDA Orbit2 (same as Cruise) has the same problem:occasional freezing and touch screen decalibration (needs to be recalibrated every 5 min). problem is that this occurs infrequently. therefore i have lost hope that sending in for repair would work.....

Hi!

I broke my touchscreen (Tytn2) and replaced it with a touchscreen from ebay for 10 €.
It works, but there are some problems:

1. I have to press very strong onto the screen for a signal!
2. On the edges i have to press very very strong - even stronger then in the middle.
3. the signal itself is on the right position......
4. i have already tried to reset the sensitivity of the touchscreen (and increase/decrease it)
5. i have already aligned the screen several times....

My questions are:
1. is it installed well?? (I had to connect 4 pins on my own.....)
2. if it gets the right signal (but only when I´m pressing very strong), can there be anything wrong with the connectors?

PLEASE HELP ME!

greetings!

Well i was SO close to just giving up and buying a new phone.

I found however, an entire brand new housing for the low low price of $65 AUS. I could of just bought the digitizer for about $30.

When i look at the devices out there...they arent that great...i was going to get a Nokia E72 but realised i would miss the touch input.

So i will suffer along with my touch cruise, checking these forums for updates on the Android progress :-P

ANd ill have a spiffy new case to boot.

My 02 Orbit 2 touch screen has stopped working also - I found that a temporary solution is to hold the top of the screen tightly over the earpiece

It would register touches, enough to Flash back to Original ROM

It Going back to 02 this weekend.
