Hi guys,

I just got ann Milestonne from. Mr.Lai if you know who is he. I found out the phone encounter Ghost screen after searching through the web, may I know it cause by the malfunction of digitalizer. Or others hardware nor software issue? Btw search and back key not working.

Hope to receive some feedback fr u all, thanks.

It could be digitizer, charge controlling IC, sweaty palms, wet screen, dirty screen and any combination of these and more.

LOL, so many possible reasons arr, seem like it is a major problem if it hit the milestone.
So i think replacing the digitalizer is not the recommended solution since it may cost a lot.
Better get a better phone.
Anyway thanks for your prompt reply, appreciate it!! smile.gif

Digitizer is RM300.
Mine has the problem when using certain chargers.

300??? Wah so expensive, change phone better.
Original digitalizer izit? or OEM? I search in ebay oem cost around < 100
Then change ourself can save labor cost provided know how to change.
Yes i'm aware of charger or usb cable may be the issue.
it will gone worst using different brand.

Even the original charger has problems.

Personally I won't bother changing.

Better phones can be bought for less hassle. The milestone, even though is good for using as a GPS device is getting a bit old technology wise.

Yes, strongly agree. smile.gif It time for a change smile.gif

You just got the phone ar? And yes I know who is Mr. Lai, bought from him before also.

If not mistaken your problem related to hardware started to failing. And yeah, repairing it almost the same price as buying another set.
your problem is not hardware failing issue. It is cause by the incompatible charger.

Yalor just got the phone, as mention by Mr.Lai is just the back and search touch button not working la. Did not expect the ghost screen too. But nvm la, another buyer wish to buy from me as sparepart...problem solved. smile.gif

Lucky you, able to sell the phone. What phone are you planing to buy? My recommendation would be to have 1 gigahertz phone at least. RAM should have at least 512 megabytes.

That is why lo, luckily manage to release it, it not aikz...
What phone o, no idea yet. Yes at least 512, but still got bit lag.
My galaxy tab installed with too many apps then it quite laggy. LOL...

From SG can be Original as well,
For e.g. those from Starhub.
As for the common issues, i personally think it is the Ghost Screen.
You may search through the web for more information or read through the previous replies from me or others forumer.
Hope it help. smile.gif

thanks for reply  rclxms.gif

can the ghost screen problem be remedied with flashing with new ROM?
*
It depend, i would not say it is not possible.
But it is not applicable to me, as my situation mostly is due to hardware failure.
As i'm aware it the digitalizer faulty only.
perhap others long term Milestone's user can help you smile.gif.

Has anyone had this problem? Is there a fix? 
The past few days the phone was acting up..As if a ghost was thumbing thru the phone????!!!!
It's like an invisible person is playing with the functions and touch screen......
I swipe the lock off and the phone just goes off on it's own,I can't control the thing......
Dialing numbers,browsing the web,enters my settings,changing settings....
CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went as far as to do a master reset of the phone and it still continues. On and on.....
Every so often,and not so often I can regain control,but it just goes back to phantom mode.
When I reset it I took the sd card out as well and restarted without the card in and got the same results............GHOSTS......PHANTOMS.
I'm ready to throw the phone at the wall.....
Has this happened to anyone??????
Can it be fixed???

I got mine at http://www.tmart.com/ for a very reasonable price and I DIYed. Not sure about the repair counters, I did not bother but I'm sure they can. I did it myself anyway.

Note: Tmart gives a free Supplied screwdriver that is t6, you need a t5. You also need a small Philips.
Note: not easy to be done, need to be patient and carefull. Bloody cables and connectors everywhere as the touchscreen has to be accesed from the back, meaning everything has to be taken apart.

So far after a week, phone working great.

Nice, how long do they take to deliver the item to you place?
yes dissemble the phone is kinda tedious especially sliding phone...
dn break the ribbon...if not goona cost another buck...
