htc hero touch screen

[Guest noobieocer]

hi, i purchased a second hand hero from ebay with puals custom rom and its been working flalessly for around a month /2. but yestaday i found the touch input wa a bit doggey, when i swiped the screen to get to a differnt home screen it was spazzing around between the 2 screens, then when i try to press a certain option on a menue it was selecting a differnt item like 4 rows down =/ and when i got home to try and find the reason the touch screen doesnt work, if i put it down it dont work but works if i pick it up.

im thinking loose cable? my friend said its doggey softweare, so i "wiped" and reflashed with puals custom rom. problem still there but it sometimes works and sometimes doggey again.

any one else got simular problems? i searched on google most people get problems with bottom half of screen. not exactly like mine..

You could try calibatring your screen. I think it's under Settings / Locale & Text.

yup done that, did a bit more research and it seems to be a fualty screen, contacted htc customer services and they told me to call thier repair department and book in a repair. before i do this how can i get rid of the recovery image? or does stock heros have these built in? and how can i unroot my device.

thanks

If you used flashrec to install your recovery, u should be able to do a restore. And you can unroot by installing an official RUU rom.

Radio ROM is the one which is related to all the connectivity option of your phone like WiFi, mobile network etc.
