Love my Evo3d no complaints.. But recently It constantly freezes after I take a camera shot. I can't back out or anything I have to hit home screen in order to go back. I can task killer Camera app and do it again but constant freezing. Ofcourse i've reset the device but wth its a semi-known issue!

I may go to Best Buy and get a new one if none of the xda guys here are having this issue...
so did you return the phone? if you did, do you still have the issue? mines still force closes so i might head tomorrow to get an exchange because i use the camera app a lot and this isnt fun for it not to work!!

This is my thread with a bunch of people reporting the exact issue. And nice of you to post that sprint community site, as I got my info from there also.
I really hope HTC fixes this.
Same issue here

Same here also. My screen also becomes unresponsive and I have to reboot it to fix it...

I just upgraded to TB today, and had to go to work before playing with it much. Now I'm home, and a stuck/dead pixel is driving me insane! It's in the middle of the screen, offset to the right a bit. I keep staring at it uncontrollably, and tried many times to wipe it away lol. Will I be able to replace the phone, or would I be better off returning it and just doing my upgrade again? I do not think it's acceptable for the value of the phone. Thanks for any input. This screwed up my rooting plans for now.. grrr.
Edit: I'm also having a hell of time trying to get the market to download apps, instead of auto failing immediately. Factory reset worked for a bit, but now I have tons of updates that won't download.. will not factory reset again.. I'm in a 3G only area.. it takes forever!! I'm coming from a DX.. so it's alot of apps I'm having trouble with.

You got a bad one. Take it back and exchange it for a new one.

Exchange it. It's a hardware issue and is covered by the warranty.

Thanks guys.. just needed reassurance. Hope my luck is better next time.

Try one of the pixel fix apps in the market. But you likely will have to return the device.
dead pixels can't be fixed unless they replace the screen, had the same issue with my 55 inch monitor, and they are replacing the entire led panel, just return it, you paid good money for it, everything should work 100%
I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice it, I'm just uber picky with my gadgets. It's really apparent on blue screens. The retailer I got it from is closed on Sundays.. so yet another day without rooting.. this blows lol

So after reading these forums I see some people experience lag while the majority don't. Also I see the same people who experience lag also complain of green hue/tint on their photos as well. Well I'm one of those people. No matter what I do my phone lags scrolling through homescreens, camera freezes every other time I use it.
I'm going by sprint today to play with the demo unit to see how it compares to mine. I don't remember it being laggy when I played with it on launch day.

Try a hard reset to see if that fixes your problem.

I did. But i posted a thread my first day about the lag. But its no better. The weather live paper locks my phone up after about a minute...and my screen is yellow. I'm gonna see how the phone on display at sprint looks. If its better , I'm going to swap it out for a new one

no problem here.
I actually feel the stock rom could be a keeping. Everything just works and very snappy.
my camera doesnt even load. Its goes to a black screen, i did a hard reset, factory reset, and still nothing, i called and they are going to send me a brand new phone. i should be getting it today or tomorrow.
I don't have any green tints but i do get lag when scrolling in the market and some apps. Also the camera freezes sometimes after taking pics and i need to go and fc it.... Hope it's a software issue that can't be fixed by an ota.
Hi all,
Couldn't find a thread about this, sorry if it exists.
My EVO 3D has been experiencing what can best be described as phantom touches. I leave the phone alone with the screen on and it moves the home screens in a jittery fashion or randomly presses the screen. Approx middle, slightly to the left just below the centre of the screen and also closer to the home/menu soft keys. It's not a permanent issue, but it does go absolutely "mental" at times making the phone unusable until it settles down.
It also interferes with the lock screen, playing havoc with the pattern unlock.
Tried all the usual... factory reset etc etc but to no avail.
Has anybody else come across this?

I've had mine do that albeit, rarely. He home screen goes sporadic or the app drawer scrolling is messed up.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
It used to do that for me when I had it plugged in to my car.
Video record it! Then take it to the sprint store and say that you're scared of your phone and get a new one. If it can work for my neighbor, it can work for you! âīšâ
Mine does this horribly when my phone is in cold air. My last 3d also had this issue and it was replaced when installing a new digitizer did not help.
It's getting more frequent.
I'm in the UK.. I'd have to be REALLY scared of it to go to Sprint in the US

Lol Yeah, that would be a long trip. You ever thought about rooting it and installing a new ROM?
My Atrix does that when I set it down in certain surfaces, like a mattress out pillow, or carpet, but as long as I am touching the case of the phone, it doesn't do that.

Yep, tried that too... well I went from stock to a rooted version of a more up to date stock ROM.

I took the screen protector (Martin Fields) off and was trouble free for two days. I suspect that was coincidence though as it's now worse than it was prior to that.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Mine doesn't do that but there are times when I unlock it and it automagically goes to what ever app is in the lower right side of the screen. My wifes has started doing it also. Even replacements that I have gotten have done it.
i actually just had mine swapped out for the same reason.
did it on ICS, MIUI, and warm.
I say take a chance at running the newer OTA update combo pack that Xhausx put out. It does include some sorry of touch panel firmware update I believe. It's worth a shot just for the hell of it.

Likewise. After a month of having my Evo 3D, the screen would act possessed. No matter what I flashed or did, nothing would make the slightest difference. It got so bad that I ended up returning it.
OP, return it. It's a common issue with these phones.
SAME PROBLEM! i have flashed viper, synergy, olympus, warm, and more im sure! Same problem every time ! Please let me know if anyone finds a fix without returning the phone! THANK YOU!
It is a hardware problem, changing the ROM isn't going to help.
My d1 did the same thing after a year or so. It actually still works as long as you can keep the phone at a certain temp, but as soon as it warms up from use it goes back to it.
My girlfriends started doing that today
downloaded touchscreen tester from the market and what do you know digitizer is jacked some spots show as multitouch with only one finger
ok that helps. so, do i have to actually return the phone to fix the problem? or can i get a touchscreen tester and find the problem and fix it? or is that not even worth the trouble?
Thanks for the help
Oddly I just started encountering the same issue two days ago and now can barely use this phone.
Bit of an update.
I did S-On and so far haven't had the issue reappear. Obviously since it is an intermittent problem, it's not definitely gone.
I'll give it a day or so and report back.

+1 on this.
Now I know it's not me being crazy. I've always had random apps opening up after preforming an action even though I was sure I never touched that app.
So my girlfriend is still on her Tbolt. She's never wanted me to root it or anything so still stock. Anyway since the ics update the phone has become next to useless. She was complaining about it being slow, laggy etc. I thought she was exaggerating but after messing with it myself ya its really bad. Super slow to do anything and backup media force closes every few minutes.
Just curious if this is an isolated incident or if others have similar issues? I told her to try a factory reset but she doesn't want to do that yet.

My girlfriends phone apparently didn't take well to the update either. Hers never got FC's, but it froze a lot... especially on the lock screen. After a while, the screen started wigging out... it started scrolling around on its own and even made screen selections on its own.
Good thing I have a reliable source here that warned me about the ICS Goblins that come with the OTA and harass the user of the phone. I sent her phone in for an insurance claim and got her a new one and no more ICS Goblins harass her.
Disconnecktie, if you see this, thanks again!

Hey guys just picked up my ONE today after debating between it and the s4 for a few weeks.. I really like the feel of the device, sound from the speakers, and sense is so much nicer than touchwiz in my opinion but on the in store HTC one the camera kept freezing as soon as you opened and/or force closing... I assumed it was just from abuse or a tin of running apps or something else simple and the other display unit(a black one) worked just fine.. so I purchased a black one as I like the look of it better but now about 5 hours later my ONE has started doing the same thing until I restarted the phone.. tried clearing data and cache but no luck till the reboot .. has anyone else had the same problem?
I love the phone.. but if this is a sign of things to come I'll probably change my mind and go for the s4 even though I hate the plastic construction and touchwiz..
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give
