Hi Guys i hope somebody who knows about capacitive touch screens can help me! I have taken my HD2 apart to fix a smashed camera lense. On removing the back cover i used a small screwdriver to prise off the back case and unclip it all round. It came off with no problem, i fixed the camera and put it back together. When i turned the device back on the touch screen isn't responding to my finger on any screen. Like i turned the touch screen off! The hard buttons still wok but nothing from the screen. Nothing looks damaged (I.e the glass isn't smashed). I seem to think i might have damaged something when prising the cover off with the screwdriver. Please, any suggestions would be really helpful!!!

Same Issue independant of ROM
Same issue here.
Funny thing is it started a week or two ago randomly out of the blue.
Same scenario:
lock the phone can't get touchscreen to respond for unlock
Judging by these posts everyone started seeing this about the same time, maybe it's a software issue or background app .
Help!

This started happening to me this morning. Out of 50 tries, managed to unlock the phone three times only. This happened out of the blue, right after i removed my phone from the charger.
Have soft reset, hard reset, reflashed ROM, but the issue still remains.
I really really hope this is not a hardware issue.
Does anyone out there know how to solve this? My phone is virtually unusable right now...

Same problem here, I've been testing for about 2,5 months now and today I've sent mine back to HTC 
. I think it's a hardware problem, tried everything from hard resetting to reflashing. When I press the HTC logo and keep it pressed the screen does respond again. Conclusion: hardware problem.

You're probably right.
I've also tried everything. But kind of strange that if I lock when not on home tab it seems to work. And the screen, almost always, reacts as it should as long as I just dont' lock it.

I just started to get this issue. touch screen works fine until it hibernates. reflashed, still happens. found this in my search:

Yeah, it happened to me as well. I opened a new thread like a month ago explaining the problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=710282&styleid=15
and I contributed in another one concerning the same issue here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=708530
Summing all up, it ain't caused by a software or a ROM of some kind (at least in my case) because soft and hard resets didn't solve it nor did the flash of a stock ROM. The most probable cause is a digitizer (touchscreen) defect that appears randomly and totally out of the blue. The only thing to do in my opinion is to send the phone in for repair, which I did. It came back with a check mark on "calibrated screen" checkbox. As of now phone's working fine and I hope they solved it even though I read of other people who have had their leo's screens completely replaced..
A curious side note: htc care reset to zero my phone's call duration timers..

I'm not sure if it's the screen. In my case I think it's the connector from the screen to the motherboard, because pressing the housing seems to help.
But let's see if HTC is able to repair it, I hope they are, because the problem is so random they might not even see it

After losing functionality on my touch screen for a week, finally decided to send it in. Took the trouble to revert my HSPL to original and Stock Rom.
Repair should take about a week. Now I'm stuck with an ancient Nokia 6230i for this week. I feel so lost without my ppc. Have had one for as long as I can remember.
Hopefully the phone comes back okay...

I've had so much problem with the screen not responding so I did all backup then reflashed, hard reset to put the device back to stock. Did this during the weekend, I even fired up my old iphone 3g to have as backup phone.
All set today to go to the store and have it repared under warranty.
But since Sunday evening it works perfect. I've been testing it a lot and the screen has not stop responding even once.
This might be just temporarily but does anyone else experienced something like this?

Mine died on me when I was actually out of the country (stuck in Vietnam without a phone). It would work for 5 minutes, then stop for hours. I would have to switch my phone on and off for a couple hundred times before it worked for another 5 minutes...
Got so tired of it that i sent back my HD2 for warranty repair. Expect it to be back tomorrow (or Friday at the latest). Hope there's no further problems with it.

I hate to say it, but the HD2 is known for its highly defective touchscreen. Even when it's working, a lot of people experience strange and bothering events, such as the touchscreen "touching" itself, a very high/very low screen sensitivity all of a sudden, the tilting of the screen to one of the four corners of the device and so on and so forth.
With a device so expensive one would expect it to work flawlessly. Seems to me that HTC doesn't think the way we do...

2Just fixed mine
http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/
Thats the link I used. All i had to do was push in the hangup button(red) on the HD2 very firmly and kinda moved my finger around with it. Mine started acting up all crazy recently and the screen finally stopped working last night. This solved my issue. I just did it in 5 seconds and the screen started working again. BEST SOLUTION EVER!1Same problem here, I've been testing for about 2,5 months now and today I've sent mine back to HTC.

Sticking the fingernail between the screen and the phone worked. Screen became responsive again. Holly s!!!t. It must be the red button that cause the problem. I cannot be doing that every time.1
Yes you must return everything ROM/RADIO/SPL to origional or an allowed update ROM.
You can either put the phone into BootLoader Mode and connect to the PC then run HSPL3 and select the SPL version for your ROM but ending in .0000
or you can download the t-mobile ROM from T-Mobile site (if it is a TMOUS) or the HTC site (if anywhere else), extract the files and rename the largest one to 'leoimg.nbh'. copy it and nothing else to a 4GB (or less) SD Card. Put the phone into BootLoader Mode and follow the instructions.1Confirmation
You're right, it is typical for HD2(a design flaw): using very often END Call/POWER button will determine, over the time, a premature failure of your touchscreen.
