Every so often (apparently at random as far as I can tell) I don't get the screen unlock ring when I take the Flyer out of standby - from a blank screen. The normal home screen just pops up. A soft reset fixes the issues but I hoping to find the cause. Anyone with any ideas?

Are you running a rooted rom? I don't have an answer but when I was running some roms for my Evo 4g we used to get that from time to time. I know it was something to do with the gfx drivers not being compatable for the Evo 4g. We could shut the screen on and off a few times and then it would come back.

yes it is.. it's called SOD.. search for it and you'll know what's causing it.. but basically you have to find a good combination of build, kernel and of course microSD card.. although on most build that are based on Evo kernel, SOD is almost unheard of.. that's why when you get the SOD, microSD would most likely be the culprit.. also, on some winmo rom, you have to disable the automatically turn off the phone when not in use.. some people here might say it isn't needed, but on my experience, i know that i had to do it on some winmo rom to prevent the SOD..
okay so SOD... after i can find a good combination it shouldnt happen/???
The phones not actually crashed its juatt not the display showing anything for some reason.
I get sod from time to tome but I always get out of it.

okay but how do i get out?
ive only noticed this a couple times, but its going to start getting annoying if it is a reoccurring thing. I wanted to know if anybody else is having these issues.
Its normally just one tiny, maybe finger sized spot, that does not recognize a touch. I was able to confirm using multitouch visualizer that it worked everywhere except this one spot. After turning my screen off and then back on, it went away.
i have a launch day evo 3d without the ota.
Where is it on your 3D? I notice about 3/4 of an inch from the top left corner of the screen there's a spot that is unresponsive at times...
I got some issue just yesterday. Mine is where the letters e and r when u pull out the keyboard. Reboot cleared it up. Very weird...

I had it to today, keyboard area. My guess is its somethingti do with temp root and kernel. Reboot fixed it...

i just returned my old 3Evo because the notification bar area would stop recognizing touch randomly and it became annoying i battery pulled and factory reset the device and it still did it, the new device so far so good
Mine too. Couple times now... Different areas different times. Screen off then on fixed it.

So has everybody here tried temp root? I have, not sure if it was temp rooted when I was having issues though.
By the way, the two times it happened so far one was top middle, the other was bottom middle on my keyboard.
I was not and have not used temp root.
Sent from my HTC Evo 3D.
So is everybody having these issues? I'm pre ota and it seems even more prevalent now.
I'm starting to wonder it it's hardware or software, if it's software I can deal with it until it's fixed but if it's hardware then I need to get a replacement. It's good to know I'm not the only one though.
I wonder if updating to the newest firmware would help. The reason i never did it was for rooting issues but it doesn't seem the update closed any exploits
it has only happened to me twice in 3 weeks I have had the phone, and second time was today. It was aroud e and r on the keyboard it kept on recognizing the shift key everytime I would hti a key in that area.
I locked it and unlocked it and it worked fine again. It seems like a software glitch to me.

what firmware are you on? im trying to figure out if maybe the update fixed it.
Do any of you guys with this issue have screen filter installed? It was messing with my phone some like that, when I had it.
You may want to try it without Screen Filter and see if it persists.

Happens to me alot. Usually on my space bar. I would have to press it on the left corner for it to work, if I press it in the center its unresponsive. I also noticed this when in Google sometimes it doesn't allow me to search by clicking the magnify class. I have to press enter to search.
Only clears up when I reboot
Space bar for me too. Screen filter not installed, screen lock then unlock fixes it.

Take it back to stock rooted and see if you still have errors. If your saying your having this problem on every ROM then it could just be your phone. I've never had a problem and I flash all kinds of ROMs.

setcpu cause freeze issue in somecases and also swiftkey may give you troubles that I saw from other posts. If your phone is a gsm, returning to stock maybe your best option at the moment anyway.
my phone is cdma sprint service
Mine is stock everything, and I get this freezing issue once in awhile. But its like only the screen responses freeze. Meaning if I try to scroll down on a web page, or sideways on the main screen...it won't do anything. But if i press the apps button, or other "buttons" on the screen... it senses it.
Well I took off setcpu and its been working fine so far going to give it a few hours and see what happens it just sucks I paid for setcpu

I am having this same issue. I have tried several different ROMs and kernels with the same result of the screen doing its own thing and the buttons becoming unresponsive at the bottom until I turn off the screen with the bottom on the top of the phone, which then allows the buttons at the bottom to be responsive again until the problem starts again.
I have also updated my firmware minus HBoot (2.08.651.2 Firmware Minus hBoot.zip) with the same results.
Any suggestions?
I too am having major problems. at first i thought it was just MIUI but no matter what rom i flash my buttons are unresponsive its hard to even unlock my phone like it just doesnt register that im touching it. Ive never had any problems like this it started yesterday while picking a song from a playlist. i would give more detailed information but i cannot get to my settings.
I'm having this issue. Random freezing. I have to pull the battery to reset. Very annoying. This is my third replacement for asurion (after I cracked my screen). I hate this.
I Was having Freeze Problems but Not Lately... If you try the AndroTECH Rom you Might have a little Better Luck...

Hey guys, so I just updated my att galaxy s2 via kies to android ICS however after that I've ran into some problems.
After updating however I encountered a period where the screen went black and the phone kinda just died on me. After restarting I began to encounter some problems. For some reason, whenever the phone goes to sleep and and then wakes up, my screen gets flipped upside down and the screen gets really bright. Despite that, I still have to press the screen like usual. Which means that if the call button is at the top after flipping, I still have to press the bottom of my screen. Also the screen isn't perfectly flipped and there is space above the top bar.
However, the phone does work fine on bootup, and only fails after it sleeps. Also, very recently my phone just went through a screen repair after the screen cracked under the glass, but otherwise that I have no clue what's going on.
Is this just a poor repair and a hardware problem or is their another problem here?
Also I've tried a factory reset and that didn't help.
Thanks for any help you can give.
(Hopefully I got the right board)

There are alot of things that could go wrong when flashing ROMs.
All of the custom ROMs here have built in safeguards which allow users to recover from issues involved with flashing. The same cannot be said about stock builds.
Unfortunately, your options are limited if you're going to stay stock. You can either try a factory reset and re-installing the update via KIES or you can call AT&T. That's pretty much it.
Personally, i'd Mobile Odin a rooted package with CWM and start flashing some of the wonderful work the developers have graciously allowed us to partake.

OP, I agree with the sentiment here, but you can't use mobile odin until your are already rooted. One option you could follow the guide linked in my signature to root the phone and go from there.
My personal suggest is that if you're running stock ROM, updating an official stock ROM and having problem, I call the provider for help.
My download and install went fine but I incounterd some unusual problems afterwards. My phone doesn't always keep a data signal while browsing the internet and a phone reboot makes it return. Setting browsers home to Google instead of default AT&T doesn't stick. I also had few dropped calls and very low signal bars in status bar at my house which gingerbread gave me full ones.

Did you managed to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I've got a stock Evo 4G LTE, never been rooted and I got it via pre order directly from Sprint. Never had a major problem until last night. I went to check a message on my phone and the screen is/was frozen. I can't actually unlock the phone via the launcher. Now if I press volume up/down the normal volume screen comes up and accurately shows the volume doing whatever way I'm pressing it. Power button press turns the screen on and off as usual. It's as if my phone has lost the touch screen functionality and is basically useless at this point. I've restarted it probably 10-15 times. I let the power die and then tried to see if it completely dying would fix it and nothing.
I got a tad desperate this evening and I accessed the recovery menu and did a factory reset...comes back up but the problem is still there. I can't unlock it and actually get into my phone. Anyone have any ideas? I'm pretty resigned to the fact that I'm probably going to end up at a sprint store tomorrow but I just want to see if anyone has any last ditch effort ideas.

Thanks, I ran it and no dice. Sounds like my screen busted.
Let me say it for you...
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Sounds like a warranty replacement is due but id hurry and do it before the phones start being shipped with the ota that patched our s-off exploit. And also let me say im sorry to hear that you lost your evo man im sure thats heartbreaking.
Tux approves of my EVO
did you try holding your power button for like 30 seconds to cycle the battery completely
I've had this happen a couple of times. However, I'm S-Off running Fresh 5.1.1. It seemed to happen when I booted out of TWRP after running a backup, but I couldn't consistently duplicate the steps.
Good Luck.
