mnikoo		 Touchscreen Problems on HTC Universal (O2 XDA Exec branding)
Jan 8 2007, 6:04 AM EST
I have had my HTC Universal for more than a year now and from last month, I have started to experience issues with the touchscreen. Many times during the day, touchscreen stops to work. First I thought the OS is crashed but I noticed I could still use the keyboard.

Sometimes the problem goes away with aligning the screen but in most cases it just doesn't work. I have to play with it for few minutes before it starts working again. I did a hard reset once and I was stuck on the screen alignment for few minutes. This seems to be a hardware related issue as the problem did not go away with a hard reset. Has anybody else had a similar problem? If not, I will have to ask O2 to have a look at it. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Hi there,

I have the same issue, I have HTC Universal (O2 XDA Exec branding) too.
What i figued out is that if you tap using your fingers on the back of the display (in the corners), the touch screen works again.
It seams that the touchscreen is getting pressed on the top right, for no reason.

I have the HTC XV6700 and I have had the phone for just about a month i love it, but all of a sudden today its been giving me a lot of problems with the touch screen, not recognizing it, so, yes HTC might have a problem over more models than just yours... It comes on and goes off randomly it seems. Do you find this valuable?

Hey that worked... Thank you! My HTC 6800 (Mogul)'s touch screen stopped responding and this little tapping trick got it working again. Again.... Thank you! 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

That worked for me on my HTC Touch! My touchscreen stopped working entirely, even after several power-downs. I tapped the four corners of the screen firmly and it started working again! Thanks for the tip! 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

what exactly do you mean the back of the display? i have the 6800 and i'm assuming you're talking about the back of the screen once it slides out. and i don't see what u mean by the screen is being pressed for no reason. please be a bit more descriptive, thanx! Do you find this valuable?

I had the same problem, my screen protector in one corner was "pushing" down on the screen causing it to be stuck. Do you find this valuable?
