Hy
I have quite a big problem with my TP.
I run NRGZ latest rom with my UC settings and S2U2, and after a week with no problems at all my pone has become self-aware
That means that he, by himself (phone is on desk and no body is touching it) starts to opening camera (and taking pictures) starts to opening comm manager, starts messing with my (his) volume settings (increase, decrease ring volume).
First I thought that maybe some of setting got fuzzy (but for 6 days it worked perfectly fine) so on reflash my TP to stock rom and flash it again with custom rom (|RAPH|ROM|6.5|WWE| ★ EnergyROM 'Warhawk' (SYS 23016) ★ | Built Aug 11 | w Manila 2.1!).
With latest flash I disabled UC and didn’t install any other app but issues are still here: randomly opens comm manager, camera, volume settings.
I have to mention that I really look out on my phone (in my country it costs 1000$ in retail) so it didn’t fell, took a bath or anything like that.
My phone is still in warranty and I will flash to stock rom, radio and SPL but before that I liked to know what the cause is.
I had the same problem. After installing NRG's ROM, my phone began to whack out just like yours after a few days. Ultimately, it started getting really hot, and the battery was no longer able to charge when the phone was on - it would discharge down to zero when plugged in and could only charge with the phone off. Going back to stock didn't solve the problem, and I ended up having to get the phone replaced. I have no idea if it was related to NRG's ROM or just a coincidence as I've used NRG's ROMs with no problem before.
Ghost?
Maybe NRG's ROM is so cool that unseen want to use it too
Seriously, flash an official ROM and then flash back to NRG's ROM. Some unexplained behaviour has been attributed to NAND corruption which the an official ROM flash corrects (by reformatting in the process). I had a different weird issues and were fixed when i installed an official ROM and then NRGs ROM.

already did that and no difference
could it be HW issue???
Me too - flashing to stock made no difference. Some kind of permanent hardware damage was done to it (and not from dropping or from water or anything obvious). Maybe the cooked ROM cooked the processor or something.
Hmm, do you think you could get it replaced by reflashing the stock goodies back to your carrier? Or if you really looking for debugging the issue, try sending a pm to cmonex of hardspl fame..
I'm having the same type of problem with my fuze. The volume just zeroes itself out; you can actually see the slider visually go down the slide scale, past vibrate to silence. If you adjust the volume up using the side volume up button, but the slider will just go right back down. It doesn't seem to matter what ROM I use. This is the only problem with the phone. But when it starts this volume adjusting, no other programs can run as the phone stays in the volume adjust screen. Sometimes it works for days without problem and then the problem will not go away, even after a hard reset. Any help??? I'm just a noob that knows very little programming; just enough to get in trouble.

Mine has the scroll wheel operating out of its own. So when using Opera it zooms in and out all the time.

did you (or anybody affected with this or similar issue) find out how to reproduce this "bug" because with my luck when i go to repair center everything will work just fine
Mine seems to act up worse as the battery starts to get just a bit low on juice. The phone is the most stable when I leave it plugged into my computer using the USB cable.
My phone would only charge with the phone off. So I recharged then followed the directions on www.blownfuze.com (or maybe .org - can't remember) to get everything back into shape for a warranty return. I actually took it into the warranty center in person and they tested it while I waited. Obviously it was all fine because they handed me a brand new phone.

hi everybody!! i've a touch pro and 3 days ago i decided to flash energyrom 2.0 31909 whit the new tf3d2 interface!!really beautiful and a really fast rom!! i installed also the last version of S2U2!! this mornig, after i charged my TP for about 2 hours when i slide the bar of yhe S2U2 to unlock it, the bar still remain blinking on my screen, all program and TF3D2 interface are working..but the slide bar still remain on my screen, such a trasparent bar blinking...i've made a soft-reset, an hard-reset and then i decided to re-flash my Tp but the screen problem still remain!! that strange bar il also present in the screen during the flashing of my TP, during the boot screen...it's always present!!!!
Did you have someone a problem like this??
What do you think??
ASK YOUR QUESTION IN ENERGYROM THREAD
DON'T START A NEW THREAD!!!
If possible, flash back to a stock ROM first.
nope
this user is right to start a fresh post
if i understand correctly, you have an 'overlay' of the unlock bar on all of the screens after and a slight flickering?
i also have this issue, it comes and goes and as a result htc wont fix it because when they test it, it decides not to present itself!
this is due to a dodgy lcd screen, you may notice it happens when the device gets warm
Yeah that image Retention glitch happened to me...it freaked me out too...but its seems it's when the device is warm or over used i had it off for a few hours while i was sleeping...when i turned it on the next morning it was all gone.
hope it turns out ok!
good luck
I just started to experience this issue about an hour ago. I left my phone charging just now plugged into my laptop.
I was running the same ROM as you, but v 32009
Problem is I left my phone on my laptop to the left of the trackpad RIGHT ABOVE THE DANG HARD DRIVE. I saw the image retention/blinking horizontal bands at the bottom the the screen, but only on the bottom half of the TF3D tabs. So I went to hard reset, and the bottom of the reset screen was doing a 60hz refresh blink. I figured the earth magnet got it, maybe its just a heat issue? Leaving GPS on by accident probably didnt help either. And it was tethered.
Im flashing back to stock, then to rre to see if the problem persist. Maybe I should just kill it for a few hours, TBattery reports 42c.
edit: left my phone off with the battery out for an hour and the issue persist. Flashing back to stock..
I decided to remove the battery for about 2 hours abd the problem magically disappear!! I don't know why, but now my screen is perfect!! thanks for the replay and sorry for my poor english...
so it's an hardware problem not software?
I got 2 HTC Touch Pro in my home, one is mine and the others is my sister own, and I get this on others ROM's the original ROM from HTC and the cooked. I was looking for something about and I found a HTC Touch HD Issues about flickering the lcd, nothing was mentioned about TP...=//
And the flickering only show up on my TP, my sister TP works fine.
I notice the contrast was really higher than my sister
i came across a fix for this on the HTC site..but its for the Touch HD
im not sure how it would work on the TP

after flashing back to stock and leaving the phone off for a few hours the issue has been resolved. Been back on ENERGY ROM since and no more flickering.
This issue happens to me as well. But it seems to come and go. I don't think it's the ROM since this happened to me using the ROMeOS and currently the Energy ROM. Definitely hardware issues. Sometimes this happens when I keep on switching from portrait to landscape mode. It goes away after a while though so it doesn't bother me that much. I just shake my head whenever this happens and say "f***ing phone".
thanks man! that did the trick,I've been flashing roms for two days thinking it was the rom. the response has even improved.

I've just emailed HTC about this too. Clearly there's some issue in the touch hardware or software which is causing this. It's pretty annoying that they have fixed this on the current model but are forgetting their older customers (I say old, I've not even had this thing 8 months!)
Very, very annoying. I hope HTC solve this quickly
My Vibrant is currently running stock KB5.
About every two days or so, I will be using the phone, and the colors on the screen will suddenly wash out, screen goes to max brightness, whatever is on the screen at the time stays up, and there will be two or three horizontal thin lines on the screen. The Menu, Home, Back, and Search keys all light up. The touchscreen and all buttons, including the power button, become unresponsive. Screen will not timeout. Only way to get out of it is to remove the battery and reinsert. If I am in the middle of a phone call, I am still able to continue speaking on the phone.....but can't hang up, adjust volume, etc.
I haven't tried any other ROMs since KB5 was released, so hard to say if another ROM would solve the issue. Don't flame me for sticking with KB5. I don't need my phone to do a lot....really just use it for calls, music player, Sirius, Google Maps/GPS, light web browsing. I'm not really opposed to running another ROM, I just found it to be a pain in the butt to be constantly switching ROMs as they are updated.
Anyone else experience this problem? Hardware or driver problem? If anyone else did have this problem, did switching to another ROM solve it for you?

Hello.
When I leave my phone in sleep mode (screen locked and light off) and try to wake with On/Off button, sometimes I get a black screen with a faintly image. The touchscreen works and all the buttons, and if you click 2 times On/Off button - the image appears all ok. I tried to flash another stock ROM - all the same. Then I`ve unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone and even did the S-off with wire trick (1.53 Hboot). Then I`ve tried 3-4 custom ROMs with 6-7 different kernels, from stock to custom, but all the same. Yes, I`ve updated the firmware file, also, but with no difference.
Well, I see that this problem is not so usual, but I couldn`t find any real solution. Did anyone have this kind of problem and solved it? Since I got this phone from another country - official warranty is out of the question, I need a DIY solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
THX in advance!!!
I would have to say it looks like the light for your screen is dying, I had my screen replaced once, my screen would flicker from very dark to very bright

hmmmm, but when I get the OK image - it doesn`t flicker or go from dark to bright, it only has trouble to "wake up from sleep mode". even when i relock the screen quickly and don`t leave it unused for 2-3 minutes, the screen works OK every time....it looks like a software problem, but still I didn`t manage to fix it with all the ROMs/kernels/firmwares I`ve flashed....

Thinking about how to troubleshoot if hardware or software. When in sleep mode, instead of using the power button, I would have the phone plugged into a computer and use the " adb reboot " command to reboot the phone without touching the phone a few times and see if it lights up correctly. The first thing you should see is the boot screen, and if it works every time, then you do have an issue with your firmware. If you don't see that boot screen first every time, then as much as it sucks, I would guess there is a hardware issue.
Good luck, but this is the easiest way I know of to help determine what the issue likely is.
Minor update here, the first thing (at least on mine) that I see is the lock screen for just a quick second or two, then it quickly goes into the boot sequence. This is important as in "sleep" the ROM is running, so if the first thing you see is the boot sequence every time, and not the lock screen, then it points more to a software problem than a hardware issue. CM9 had an issue for the epic4g where you had to turn it off and on sometimes to get the keyboard to light. They found the issue in the firmware causing it.
Just wanted to make this as accurate as possible.
Wow so I am not the only person with this problem. The EVO 3D that I have was replacement phone that was given to me from Sprint from the first EVO 3D that I had which had issues with the digitizer. I received the replacement phone this past Tuesday and it worked fine for two days. It was not rooted and I did install the ICS update. On Friday morning I took it off the charger and went to work, while in the break room the screen suddenly went black and I could not get the phone to display anything after that. The Android function buttons at the bottom will light up but the screen wont, the phone also gets hot even with it powered off.
Long story short, I took it back to the Sprint store where they ordered me yet another replacement EVO 3D. Has anyone had to go through 3 EVO 3Ds or more?

Excellent thinking, I didn't think in that direction. I'll try this tomorow, since I'm not at home. My personal oppinion that it's a software problem but if I did all the above - what did I miss? If I flashed the firmware, ROM and kernel, what else is left untouched that could affect the LCD? Could anyone suggest a good kernel? Or can I downgrade the firmware, since no one had such a problem with GB?
just to inform all - I tried all soft solutions, but all the samo. finaly - I replaced the LCD and everything is OK.
THX all for help
While making a phone call the proximity turns the screen off and keeps it off, making it difficult to toggle the screen while in calls.
This is really annoying while calling your voicemail.
Currently running unofficial CM
Thanks for your thoughts.
Full story Here:
I get to mess around with the DNA for a few days, but i'm having a proximity sensor problem,
with CM and Stock Rom, do you have the same? Or is the device I have just defective.
It's a mostly an in call problem, where the phone screen goes blank and
(lets say you're in voicemail) you can't dial your password etc.
(The Screen won't come on even with the power button until 30 seconds after the call has ended.)
Your screen should come back on right when you take it away from your face. Do you perchance have a screen protector on it?
Sent from my VIPER DNA
I have the DNA and I am experiencing the same thing, but we probably have a little bit are a different scenario. Here are the details.
My digitizer broke so I bought a new LCD/digitizer assembly (LCD broke when trying to replace just the digitizer). Prior to it breaking I had CM 10.1 installed. When I replaced the screen I started experiencing the same issue described above. As soon as I place a call the screen goes blank and does not come back on until 10-20 seconds after a phone call. Regardless of formatting/wiping/etc. this has never gone away.
I installed Venom 1.3.1 to see if the ROM had anything to do with it and now, randomly, the sensor works. Also, even if the screen does shut off when press Send, I can press the power button to bring the screen back up (i.e. 5/10 phone calls the proximity sensor will work as it should. The other times the screen will go blank and pressing the power button will turn it back on.
I reinstalled CM 10.1 this afternoon to test a fresh install (I booted into recovery wiped factory data and formated SDcard then installed CM10.1) and the screen shuts off when I press send and stays off until the call is disconnected.
Is this a proximity sensor driver issue?
I have not tried using the phone after I returned back to stock flashing the RUU method.
Thanks for any feedback.

I have never been very enthusiastic about flashing different Kernels (I haven't researched enough about them to know if I can flash any kernel with any ROM). I will research that and test accordingly. Thank you. I will report back here when I have reached a conclusion or with further questions.
you should be able to flash any aosp kernel on a aosp rom and sense ona sense cept for maybe sense 5 roms that im not to sure of.

I'll do some testing and see what happens. Thank you.
Guess I should have looked in the questions and answers section first. The app i reference in my second post here should fix it for the OP. Crank the top slider up to 100 and see if the 'far' or 'near' status changes when you put your finger over the sensor. If it does then adjust it to activate when an object is very close.

I can leave my phone plugged in and charging and quickly check a text message and reply, and my phone will be fine. But if I try to use my phone any more than that, the display gets strange artifacts (it's different every time, ranging from a dark grid overlayed on top of the image to the screen filled with different colors on each pixel) and sometimes the speaker emits a constant loud high pitched noise, even if it's on silent. I noticed one of the times that the sleep button worked, but using the touch screen and the capacitive buttons is impossible and I have to yank out the battery every time it happens. I'm running a recent CM10.1 nightly and default kernel, and I've experienced this problem independent of which nightly or kernel I'm using for the past few weeks (I have had no problems in the recovery menu). It even crashed one time upon boot up when I tried to unlock the phone immediately. Another minor problem is that my home screens got screwed up one of the times it crashed. It seems like a hardware failure to me. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this problem or has any ideas that might help. Thanks.
It certainly sounds like a hardware issue to me. I have not seen anything similar reported on these forums. Is the phone currently stock, or custom firmware? The best test to see if the problem is firmware or hardware related is to flash a fresh stock firmware using Odin3. If the problem goes away, then it is obviously a firmware issue.
If it is a hardware problem, you may have trouble flashing a fresh stock firmware, or may not be able to at all. Or if you are able to flash a new stock firmware, but the problem does not go away, then it is probably hardware.
