since yesterday, i have this nasty problem with my touchscreen. when i press the power button to wake the phone, or to get into the power-menu, the touchscreen stops working. this does no happen if i press any other button.
sometimes, i can use the phone again if i wait until the screen turns off and then wake it up by pressing any other button, but most of the time i need to pull out the battery and restart the phone. even when i pull out the battery, the screen won't work sometimes, and i have to restart the phone again.
when i first experienced this problem, i was using the nexushd2 v2.0 rom, i then updated to the v2.1, which didn't help. i tried reinstalling the rom, wiping the /data/ , the cache and the dalvik cache (multiple times) and eventually changed to the typhoon cm7 rom (with repartitioning and reinstalling the magldr), the problem is still there.
the phone did never get wet, fall down, or anything the like. pulling out the sd card makes no difference.
i hope someone can help me there
May be it´s a hardware problem, some HD2 have it.
You can test it, if you go back to windows.
its the good old digitizer its right under the power button press the end button hard and it should work again but if you press it again it will corrupt use softkey or remap your hardware buttons

@OP, in future please use the search button before posting. There are far too many threads in this forum with exactly the same issue as Kamerius has just proved, so why couldn't you save both us and yourself some time and search first? Anyway, what you have is a digitizer issue, but a quick temporary solution is to simply press as hard as you physically can on the end call/power button. The screen should work after that. Use a button remapper or some sort of widget to enable you to use the phone without ever touching the end call button, and make sure to use other buttons to wake the screen.

i have the same problem with the endkey but with the rom in my sig
it actually has a softkey button that can be setup with a power softkey ..longpress on the softkey and it pulls up the power menu
just like it would do if you used the hardware power button
Yeah I thought there were softkey power buttons but I wasn't sure and I'm on my phone so couldn't be arsed to search

well, sorry dunno why i didn't search the forum before
pressing the power button hard worked , but i think i'll keep using soft buttons and wake the device pressing any other button (i don't think the brute force method is a good idea as i want to keep my phone some time longer )

I am facing the same issue except no matter how hard I press the red button....LCD doesn't works. I have even replaced the thin metal strip which rests under hardware buttons.
Anyone?
Exactly, the same issue started to happen yesterday!!!

Have you tried restarting the phone? Press and hold the powerbutten (if it works), and answer Yes to the question about shutting down. Take out your battery for 10 seconds, put it back in and fire up your phone... It might help

Hehe, can't answer that. I've had the problem only like twice in three months, so for me it's not a problem... I guess it's a software problem. Remember, it's not a Nokia The inside so much more complicated, so I guess we just have to live with some bugs...
Are you guys sure that this is a hardware related problem? I have the same prob and i was quite sure that i f**ked up the capacitative panel by playing kevtris manickly for quite a long time.
The capacitative screen is comprised by two parts folded.
I have opened the diamond and i found out that there is a lietle piece of metal that binds them together. This was bent(from kevtris probably) so istraightened it out with my bear hands. But it did not fix the problem. Do not try it anyway. Too messy if you have two left hands like me.
Have you ever seen a calibrator for the capacitative screen?
had the same problem only the power button would work , hard reset fixed it.
Have u installed S2U2..try uninstalling it...or install latest version 1.68 of S2U2
Hi Guys, i need help here

yes unfortunately.........its better bein safe than sorry lol.........i took mine apart around 2 months ago,due to abit of the same prob,my power button wouldn't work all the time or i had to press it down quite hard and i wanted to check my battery pins also. the hardest part is getting hold of the right size screwdriver to undo the phone lol............the rest is easy........if u do take it apart,whilst your there,it wouldn't do any harm to check the pins that connect to your battery,checkin they're not bent or dirty,cos that is why people have a battery drain lol and then they go to all these places to find solutions,task killers etc,when most of the time,the problem is right infront of them.........
HOPE THIS HELPS.............FEEL FREE TO HIT THANKS

hello all im having a problem and wish to get some input on what the problem may be
my hd2 has been ****in up to say the least i installed a new miui rom on it after having touchscreen problems and the weird thing is i can get the touch screen to respond after holding the the green call button and the home button for one second making the flashlight turn on then holding the back and end buttons for one second waiting for the screen to turn off then turn back on
my question is does this have something to do with the kernel or power consumption it seems it might be the case but im no expert
what do you think?
Try to press once or twice the endcall (red) button. There is a common problem with the Leo's digitizer and it is located under the endcall button. So press it hard. It used to help me.
I suggest you to install button savior or any app with softkeys to preserve the physical buttons.
Greetz,
Dodi
damn that definitely helped it along
thanks
the problem still exist but at least i can use the phone
alas i think its time to move on
that sucks i really liked my phone
Not responding touch screen
Is the keypad fully connected with the touchscreen? Because my keypad flex cabel is broken, and my digitizer doesn't respond. Do i need to buy a new digitezer or just flex cabel? Can somebody help me? Thanks
i haven't checked the good thing is i have a spare digitizer but its a hassle still ill probably end up trying eventually
In the last couple of weeks, when the pattern lock screen is displayed, it intermittently doesn't accept touch input. If I power off and on the screen quickly, it then accepts touch input fine.
Similarly, if I press and hold the power button (with the phone on), it brings up a "Phone Options" screen, with options for Silent, Airplane, Profile, Reboot and Power Off. Touch input does not work at all on this screen. I'm working around this by using the Quick Boot app.
Otherwise, touch input works fine, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
I've seen something similar when Google Nav gets in front of the lock screen. Touch doesn't work until I power off and on the screen, and enter the lock pattern. Could something invisible be getting in front of the lock and power screens?

Hey there,
Maybe the ROM h doesnt function properly on your device. Try shifting to another rom. All are equally amazing. If you do not want to shift, try running task29 and start the process all over again

Have you read the thread about the unresponsive touchscreen, where pressing hard on the end call button fixes the screen touch? I assume your problem is in essence the same; once you press it hard enough to actually unlock the screen the touch works fine.

That probably is what the problem is. Btw to everyone, I haven't noticed a difference in pressing it really hard, I noticed that pressing it a lot of times does the trick

Thanks for the feedback. I don't think it's the ROM, been using GBX-v12 since it was released, and previous versions before that.
The symptoms do seem similar to the other thread, but others report it on many screens. I only get it on the lock and reset/power screen. Otherwise, it works fine. However, those screen are brought up after pressing the power key ...
I suppose if it is hardware, then it's likely that cable issue. If it's software, then a reset should clear it, so I might try an ICS ROM from scratch first.

I guess i shoulda commented that how my digitizer began acting, it only did it while in the power menu but after a couple days it started doing it while just hitting the power button to put it to sleep, so i remapped my green phone key to be the power button

Thanks for the tip. You're right about the symptoms getting worse, it now occasionally stops working on other screen
I'm using any button but power to turn on the phone. To turn it off I've added "Go to sleep" to the notification widget bar, which I assume is the same as pressing power??
Not quite as user friendly and sometimes I forget not to use power off, but it'll do for now!

Yes that will work! I used it cause I got lazy and didn't feel like changing the key file but it's much easier to use the green call key instead of the notification power widget

Try this:
Lock the screen normally, screen turns off.
To turn it on again by pressing any other screen buttons other than the power button.
I found that if I do it this way, the screen runs normal.
Hey guys.
Ive been having a lot of trouble with my power button. At first it became less responsive (Having to push the button 2-3 times to activate the screen).
Now it seems like it is not working at all (Having to push 6-7 times).
Anyone seen this problem before and knows of a way to fix it?
Or does anyone know a workaround? (Like using the search button to act like the power button perhaps?)
Thanks in advance.
I don't really have any suggestions on how to fix the power button itself, but I do have a few workarounds if you're interested
The first is Smart Screen ON. This app was featured on the main portal not too long ago, and I have to say, it works quite well. It uses the proximity sensor to turn the screen on and (optionally) off. In the span of two weeks, it's saved my phone over 2000 power button presses (the app keeps track). I have been running the app 24/7 since I installed it and have not noticed any impact on battery life. I'd say it's worth a try.
As an alternative, you may have some luck with ButtonRemapper (requires root). It should let you remap the search button like you had wanted. You could just edit the keyboard files directly, but this app makes it pretty simple. : )
Also, in case you didn't know, the home button will wake the phone by default, but it obviously doesn't turn the screen back off.

Same thing with me mine is fully broken my work around is download button rempaper and I have made the search button act as the power button.
This is great but to turn my phone on I have to plug it into a charger and launch into Cwm then click reboot phone.

Thats what im trying to avoid.
What program did you use to remap the button?
Thanks for the info man!
Yeah it's a ***** how the phone only lasts a year before it starts breaking but glad i can get rid of it in 2 months.
I use ButtonRemapper, i take it you have root access so just download the .APK i have attached and its pretty simple just find the search key in the app and change it so it acts like the power button (It's simply you will get it when you open the app). Once you have done that the phone works fine when in normal use you just gotta tap the search button not the power button.
But as my power button is fully broken im not sure if the power button works if the phone turns off. So my work around is plug the charger in then when you see the sony logo keep taping the volume down until you launch in CWM and then just tap reboot now and it will boot up, hope this helps.
It's the only work around without having to spend money i could think off, so defiantly a good temp fix.
Yeah i think the build quality of this device isnt what it could've been. Although im happy the screen hasnt broken yet.
Thanks for the APK!
You can just use the hone button to wake the screen. Give the power button a break
