Touch Screen Messed Up On Lower Half

Apparently the lower half of my phone is messed up, i can't click on anything but the upper half works fine, not to mention I got a new one after I cracked the screen on it. I believe it was a refurb but im not sure. When I turn it off i can unlock it on the lower half, but after i unlock it nothing on the bottom half works, and if i lock the phone after unlocking it i have to restart the phone in order to get back to my springboard.

hey, i just wanted to know if u got a new refurb or ur old fone back..cuz i have the same problem...

X-fi2 touch screen messing up after sync

sometimes after syncing music to my X-fi2 32Gb the touch screen will start becoming unresponsi've and badly inaccurate (try pressing on an icon but it will scroll across) when I finally get to the touch screen calibration and try to calibrate, it keeps asking me touch touch each corner of the screen and doesn't finish, the only way to fix the problem is to press the reset button on the bottom of the player, I've tried reapplying the firmware but no success

Hello Yourma2000,
The only thing I can think of that can probably cause touch accuracy to go nuts is some third party ap
ps.
Do you have games installed on your player?

TOUCH SCREEN PROBLEMS IN IPHONE

WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE IS EXPERIENCING TOUCH SCREEN PROBLEMS WITH THE UPPER HALF PORTION OF THE IPHONE. IN THE PHONE MODE THE 1, 2 & 3 NUMBERS DO NOT RESPOND TO MY TOUCH. IN THE HOME SCREENS, NOTHING IN THE FIRST ROW OF ICONS RESPONDS TO MY TOUCH.
I HAVE ALREADY RESET, RESTORED AND LOADED THE UPDATED SOFTWARE.
VERY FRUSTRATING. HELP.

When restoring my phone didn't work, I backed up my data and made an appointment at the Apple Store. I went prepared to argue my case as my phone was over a year old (I got it the first day it was out) and didn't do any thing to damage the phone. It just developed this dead spot. I was honest about how long I had the phone and expressed that this was a common problem that is all over the internet and from what I could tell, I wasn't the only one in there for this problem. I was tipped off by a question he asked, "What row went dead?" He obviously had seen this enough times to know that different rows in the home screed went bad. I told him the second row. The conversation went on and somewhere there was some back room talks and they replaced my phone, which was very nice, but I'm betting this doesn't happen all the time. I think I got lucky. Over all I give Apple a 10 out of 10 for Customer Support. I doubt I would be so generous if I had to buy a new phone. I was told at first that it was going to cost me $249.00 to repair the phone, maybe he said $199. At any rate, I would have bought a new G3 instead of getting this one repaired. I tried to get the Apple Care on the replacement phone but they wouldn't allow that. So I have a 90 day warranty right now. I highly recommend that you get Apple Care on the iPhone. I'll be getting it on my next one. I don't know if this phone is new or a refurbished phone. It looks new, but I'm guessing it's refurbished. All in all I'm hoping that Apple realizes this is a problem with the screen and it's a problem that they need to fix or continue to fix when they go bad for no good reason. Well that's been my experience hope yours turns out as well.

Bold 9900 - Touch Screen Not Working or Responding

my blackberry bold is 2 weeks old and the touch screen stopped working also. I did what some one here suggested and removed the battey while phone off and restarted. worked for now but will update also.thanks for the help !!!!!

I have had the same problem.I have only had my new Bold 9900 for a month and have just sent it back to the warranty repair shop for them to look at it.My touch screen first stopped working in the mornings after the alarm went off in the first week, so I assumed it was just a glitch with the alarm and installed a 3rd party alarm.However, a week later it just started happening randomly at least two or three times a day - a battery and SIM card pull would fix it at first but after a while even this wouldn't get it working again - it increasingly became more and more unreliable.At the time of sending it to the repairer the touch screen would work for roughly half the day and for the other half the day I would have to use the track ball.Considering I bought the phone outright with 850MHz enabled at about 800AUD I am not happy.Blackberry appear to provide ZERO support for their customers as well - wishing I had spent this money on an iPhone or HTC... BB really need to test their products properly before unleashing them on the unsuspecting masses..

Iphone touch screen malfunction

I have taken my iphone to an apple store 2 times for the same problem, the touch screen only wants to work half the time. Sometimes only certain portions of the screen will work it is like there are dead spots. Alll they do is reboot/restore my iphone at the store and say "There it works better now". well a little better for about an hour or two. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. The bottom strip of my screen stopped working. According to Apple technical support and these user forums, there doesn’t seem to be an end user solution for this. I called technical support, they promptly sent me a prepaid box to ship my unit back and a new one arrived within two days. I synchronized and was back up and running in a few minutes.
Here's a very helpful "secret" that nobody else seemed to know about (even the Apple technician)... When you synchronize the iPhone, all information on the phone gets placed on your hard drive in a recovery file. So, when you receive your unit (or an alternate replacement unit) from the repair center, the first synchronization should restore the phone to the exact state it was in at the time of the synchronization. This includes settings and even little details like how far down in your notes had you scrolled. So, the replacement phone that I received became identical to how mine was. Had I known this, I probably wouldn't have struggled to manually type my notes from the iPhone screen onto another computer prior to shipping it off for repair.
Your experience may be different than mine, but I hope the above works for everyone out there as it did for me.
Something else I did was after synchronizing my phone, I then performed a Reset of the phone using iTunes which erased everything on the phone and returned it to the original factory settings. I did this just to avoid sending off a phone with confidential information on it. This didn't seem to interfere with the backup image of my phone already on my desktop computer.
I hope this helps. For my complete iPhone review, do a Google search on iphone review resourcesforlife and click on the top link.

Lower Half of Landscape Screen Unresponsive to Touch

Ahoy!
I'm writing a Landscape Orientation only app that doesn't display a status bar. I started by using the Utility Application template in XCode.
I've edited my info.plist and added the following entries...
{quote}
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
<key>UIInterfaceOrientation</key>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
{quote}
I've gone through and set Status Bar to none for FlipsideView.xib, MainView.xib and the Root View Controller in MainWindow.xib
I've set the following code in RootViewController.m, MainViewController.m and FlipsideViewController.m..
{quote}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceO rientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) return YES;
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) return YES;
return NO;
{quote}
And I've modified AppDelegate.m to change the orientation...
{quote}
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
// Override point for customization after app launch
\[\[rootViewController view\] setHidden:YES\];
\[window addSubview:\[rootViewController view\]\];
\[application setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight animated:NO\];
\[\[UIDevice currentDevice\] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight\];
\[window makeKeyAndVisible\];
// Delay to allow views to rotate to ensure a smooth transition
NSTimer *timer;
timer = \[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.35
target:self
selector:@selector(showView)
userInfo:nil
repeats:NO\];
- (void)showView {
\[\[rootViewController view\] setHidden:NO\];
{quote}
Everything is working great. The views change nicely and will orientate in either direction.
My problem is that when I started laying out my User Interface, I discovered that MainView was somehow preventing me from clicking any buttons on the bottom half of the screen. I could place and click buttons above 160 px. I could click just the portion of the buttons above 160 px. But any button, or part of button, that exists below 160 px will not allow me to click it.
I've tried disabling/enabling the button.
I've tried hiding/unhiding the button.
I've tried moving the buttons up programatically, clicking them, moving them down programatically. No luck.
I'm beating my head against the wall.
It's like the bottom half of the screen is not available for touch events.
The Flipside View works perfect.
If I start with the Flipside view instead of MainView, FlipsideView will have the same problem and MainView works perfect.
I can put other controls in the lower half, like a label, and manipulate them without a problem.
I know the MainView starts off portrait and then flips to landscape. That's why I hid it in the Delegate Class. Since MainView is the default view that is loaded, and the problem transitions to FlipsideView if I switch that, I believe the problem must be in the initialization of the default view.
For the life of me I can't find it though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Bill

I have made a test project that illustrates this problem.
The link to download it is...
http://www.box.net/shared/dysb76lqtj
I set the RootViewController view to green, MainViewController view to purple and FlipsideViewController to maroon. I made just the changes I outlined above.
I then added a High and Low button to MainViewController and FlipsideViewController.
As you can see, when the MainViewController view is loaded, the background stops halfway down the screen but the buttons remain correctly placed.
Any ideas would be greatly welcomed!
Thanks!

HT1320 hey i have an ipod touch 2nd gen and its a little cracked and half the screen isnt touch screen anymore how do i fix it

hey i have a 2nd gen ipod touch and its a little cracked and half the screen isnt touch screen anymore what do i do

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Media Encoder in settings mode only shows the lower half of screen

All of a sudden, my Adobe Media Encoder CS4 is only showing the lower half of the screen in Settings mode. This is how it encodes from the .wmv file to .avi. and is therefore corrupting the file. Does anyone know why this has happened?

This is a known issue related to a recent security update to Windows Media: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2803821

Hi Dee12124,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I am going to get you to do a soft reset that, I will hope fix some of your issues.
To do this:
1. Press and hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart. This will take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.
3. When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go of the buttons.
If this still doesn't fix your device, what we could do is try resetting the whole device, wiping it. If this is the case, get back to me and I will pose the steps below. I would recommend that you do this AFTER the device is backedup however.
Before you restore your device
Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.

Thinkpad Yoga - touch screen on left half of the screen unresponsive

Hi guys!
On my new TPY the touch screen on the left hand side (the side where the charger is connected) is unresponsive. The pen however works perfectly fine. I have already run the lenovo software update tool and updated/installed all the drivers so I wonder what might be the culprit here...?
Best,
Chris

if the left hand screen touch is unresponsive, then it is a hardware problem. You would need to send in for service.

The lower portion of my ipod touch's touch screen is not working. The display looks fine, yet I can't unlock my iPod.

I just restored my ipod to its factory settings, hoping it would start working again. Yet when it finally turns on I find that i can't unlock it. The display looks fine, as everything still moves and the languages still change. Is there any way for me to restore the touch screen?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Likey a bad digitizer

2.0 messing with touch screen

Not sure if anyone else noticed or if I am just going crazy but every since I upgraded to 2.0 it seems the sensitivity if the touch screen decreased. It now takes two or three attempts for it to register that I hit send or to open a app or to edit or to...you get the picture. Anyone else notice this?

How much memory free space have you got? Have you loaded a lot of apps?

New i phone fell from hand half part of touch screen deosnt work

I had purchased a new ip hone fron Los Angeles in December 2007 to gift to my girl friend, when the dy was nearing to gift her i thought of just checking out on how does it work
before could do few things phone fell from my hand and now upper part of touch screen doesnt work will i get a free replacement or repair in any part of USA

Hi and welcome to Discussions. This is a user to user forum and as such the only advice I can give is to take it back to where you bought it. Since this is not a defect inherent in the iPhone's manufacture I doubt a cost free replacement will be that simple. But all anyone here can do is speculate. You need to bring it back for a determination.
