Anybody play lane splitter? My kids and i loved it on the evo 4g. However, on the mopho, i can only pop a wheelie for 10 to 15 seconds before it stops. I thought maybe the program was defective, so i got a screen testing program, touch test, market://search?q=pnamerg.hermit.touchtest , and i was able to reproduce it. It's like the i am letting go of the screen. Is it the mopho, or is it just my phone? Ant thoughts?

I just played it and had no problems
it messes up because the Photon has a "water detector", this same water detector to prevent false touches - happens to screw you over on games by eliminating your held touch point after X number of seconds.
any game where you have to maintain a touch on the screen has the same issue.
So I need to alternate fingers to keep the wheelie popped. easy enough. The accelerometer seems to be more sensitive than on the evo 4g too. So the game is a lot tougher on this phone.

So like with the original EVO, I used it to navigate with Google Navigation. The phone heated up sometimes but not by much. However, the EVO 3D seems to heat up the point of almost burning at the touch. Anyone else get this?
Some of them overheat. My first one didn't, my 2nd one did, my current one doesn't. My girlfriends first one did her current one doesn't. Her's was exchanged specifically because of it getting too hot. Mine had screen issues.
You should exchange it.
Well when you use navigation you are using the GPS, data to keep the map current, display to show it all. All of these things cause the phone to heat. If you have it charging while navigating it will heat more. Heat is a totally normal product of hardware doing its job.
Now, if it gets burning hot, melts your components, anything like that, there is call for alarm.

Yeah, well whenever im using my GPS im usually not using it as a phone. But when I do happen to get a phone call, its like putting a hot coal against my face X.x.
I mean it's hotter than a laptop would be if it was running full on. Maybe I will exchange it...I don't want there to be problems in the future.

What temperature does it get to? Was it charging while using it? Was the sun on it at all? Was the air on in your car, or was it hot? All of those things can.play a role as well, especially while using gps.

i ride my motorcycle often in coldish temps. it seems like if it's under 65 after riding with my phone in the pocket of my mesh jacket that the screen will not work for a couple min. the power comes on... i can unlock it but after that nothing. sometimes it won't even unlock.
other than a couple weird quirks here and there the phone works good. i have been having problems where i unlock the screen and then the screen will only notice touches as it wants to. all i have to do is turn the screen off and back on and it's fine. this seems to happen a lot.
any idea's before i take it into sprint tomorrow?
I got a couple glitches with screen with stock rom, but dissapeared after a pull battery, it could be the same

I would go and replace your phone, or have it fixed, (I doubt that it can be fixed by Sprint), but give it a shot.
Head to your local Sprint Customer Advantage Repair Center.
I would not rush to sprint just yet. I usually walk the 1/4 mile to work and back. @ a month ago I noticed this problem. When I get to work its unresponsive and when I get home. Problem is, my hands are cold and the screen does not like it.
At work, go get coffee and come back to it. At Work or home, quickly warm hands under warm with with Anticpetic soap (keep it clean). Works every time for me.
In Truck, I dont have that problem. But really, 3-4 minutes to warm up Expedition, a minute or so to put Photon in Dock, another minutes or so to get a playlist I want...............even people that catch the bus I beat them to work walking the 15 minutes or so. Bluetooth Headphones and Pandora?
I took it to a repair center and they told me some BS that the screen is thermal sensitive. When I came home last night my hands were warm but the phone was cold and the screen was half ass working. I ride a street legal dirt bike that has bark busters on it so my hands are a bit shielded from the wind. The phone tho is not.

DualSportDad,
Seriously, and I NEVER agree any Tech Support from any carrier, He may be right in this case, and almost all electronics have a operating range. I'm forward my comments based off my experience mention above. I think what they were trying to say (tech engineers help me out here!), touch screens work off slight electrical currents, if the face of your phone, or fingers in my case, disrupt that................
EDIT: I offered and excuse, not a solution, Sorry!! Have you tried OtterBox? It covers EVERYTHING and sealed to a degree. It offers good protection, but might also keep the temp up a bit?
I'm just having a hard time believing that there are tons of people walking around in the winter with phones that don't work and they aren't complaining about it. I live in Florida... its not cold here. I'm talking about riding a motorcycle at temps that I'm wearing a T-shirt and a mesh jacket. It not cold its just colder than it has been since I've had the phone.

Edit: here's the video.... give it a few min to finish uploading. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6ycHuHhGwc
I work outside and its 30° right now and my touch screen works flawlessly.
OK, doing a little reading over coffee this AM (without my big boy glasses for fine print).................The Operation range for Photon:
60C(140F)
-10C(14F)
Im not sure what this means, but, do not recharge:
45C(113F)
0C(32F)
Now it looks like you meet these, but I would bet then are not in Stone, just like battery usage!
where did you find those specs? I left the windows open last night and it was 49 outside this morning and I had a hard time turning my alarm off on the phone cause the screen was inactive. It obviously wasn't 49 in the house tho.

Page #136 of the Photon 4G Manual, Upper Left. Good Luck!
Thanks. I took my jeep out last night and was outside and I was trying to show some friends a picture and the screen wouldn't work. It was about 60 deg out.

Its not your phone i think it has more to do with your core temp when touching the phone... i use to be in snow non stop and my hd2 would do the same thing until i warmed my fingers and it worked fine.
Sweet phone! I think that is totally awesome that I can't make any call, even in an emergency, below 14°F. Awesome, so this means my phone will be a useless brick outside when it gets cold in Connecticut during the winter. Guess I'll buy a backup phone on eBay. I just want a flip phone. I don't need a smartphone when I'm fighting to stay warm, unless, of course, the phone will have an app that will make the phone work in cold weather and make everything around me 30°F+ warmer! Ahhh, let me get out of DreamLand while I can.
so as time has gone on the screen has now taken on a mind of it's own. i take it to sprint and they tell me there is nothing wrong with it. i'm about at my wits end... this is my recent video from this week.
http://youtu.be/oq4z9v2SdTk
Did you show them the video? I would call Motorola and ask them to watch the video or email it to them and have them replace it, not Sprint.
If I were you with that issue, and Sprint said it was normal, I would tell Sprint to shove the phone up their a**!
How do yah like them apples, Now Network?
no, i haven't shown them this video. if i have time tomorrow i am going to take it in to sprint tomorrow and show them. if they dont help me i'm going to contact motorola and email sprint directly. i really like this phone when its not messing up.
Try that, Motorola will be much more helpful. If Sprint thinks you're faking the video then that rep is crazy.
Hi,
I got my Motorola Droid Razr about 1-2 weeks ago. I am very happy with it. It performs well for my needs and I really love it! However, today I was trying a game that's named "Gunbros" which seems awesome.. however, alittle while into the game, the touchscreen-"joysticks" stop working like they should. Approx 1/3 of them "die", making game impossible to play.
I then quit game, and download an app called "Touch Test", and it shows that there is an area in bottom left corner, and top left corner (when in portrait mode) that is DEAD.
HOWEVER: When the phone rests for a little while, these spots become healthy again..
So, I'm guessing this is an issue with heat. But I am wondering, is this usual and should I tolerate it? If there's something wrong with my phone, I can send it back, have it fixed or get a new one..but I suspect this is how it is for all phones.
But can it be tweaked or calibrated somehow? Or could it be that drivers can be improved?
Thanks for any, and all answers! =)
I don't have any issues playing Duke Nukem or Shadow Gun at all, but I haven't had any heat issues either. Do you have a case on it while playing?

Like many with the 3d I was having touch screen issues. Ghost touching and inaccurate touches. At first it was infrequent and random but started getting worse and to the point where it became unusable today. I have tep but no stores around here had a digitizer in stock. My phone was useless so in a desperate shot in the dark, I tried putting it in the freezer.
That's right.
I took the battery out, put it inside two ziplock bags and froze it for a few hours. The I took it out. Left it in the bags to return to room temp and then powered it on. I've been using it for a few hours now and haven't had one issue yet.
Please note this might somehow kill your phone and don't try it unless you are desperate.

Mine usually does this when its cold. I have thought about replacing the digitizer but its not frequent enough and locking and unlocking a couple of times fixes it. I would rather deal with it then get the hboot 1.5 crap...

Mine was fine until last night. Now I can hardly use it. Landscape works somewhat, the only problem is not all apps support it. I found a digitizer+lcd with the full housing for $55 so I jumped on that.

Odd, I always have had some sort of problem with my digitizer when I go outside for a cig. I live in WI, so it's about 0 degrees out right now or colder lol (actually tonight it's rather warm outside but meh)
Anyway, About an inch below the top of my phone to about an inch and 1/4 my screen is dead, I could post a screenshot of it if someone wants. I've been thinking about brining it back to sprint but I don't want to risk them updating the hboot to 1.5 lol
It did seem to temporarily fix the device but came back the next day.
They did it to me I hnow have 1.5....they agreed my phone needed to be replaced...then said the 3D is on back order... They asked if i would take a photon...I said yes....that was a week ago....I called today and they said 'oh, the photon is on back order too' that was a 3rd party retailer....
So I called Sprint and there is actually a corporate store close to me....I'm going to get a new phone tomorrow, I hope! Any suggestions on a replacement if they still don't have a 3d!?
I had the same problem. One of the guys at best buy was tryin to say I probably dropped it... I'm like fk u, I got it like this... The other guy checked it out and said,"ive never seen this happen, but looks fine, physically I guess". Checked it for water damage and just replaced it since it hadn't been 30 days. Then I'm seeing more people with the same problem. If u have insurance with sprint, it should be somethin they take in and give u a refurbished one at no charge. At a Sprint repair store

I am an EVO 3d GSM user for a week.I don't have any problems with ghost touching etc
Is this a problem only for the CDMA users? Some of my friends also got the GSM version and also they don't have any problems.
My digitizer has been acting up lately as well. I may take it into a sprint store and see what they can do with it..... I don't want them to replace my phone with one that has hboot 1.5 or update my hboot to 1.5.
Be careful....when I brought mine in they tried to say "the touch screen is fine, it looks like a software issue..." And despite saying in advance, I left w 1.5 and the promise of a replacement which also came w 1.5
...just my experience....

I take great care of my phone and this bs started happening to me.
Well, sort of.
My phone will register touches on the screen randomly if I smack the back of the phone (not hard or anything, just a quick smack, like sitting it down on a desk type deal) and it will randomly stop registering touches at all until press the power button to put it in standby, then again to turn it on.
What kind of crap is this? God I can't stand HTC's terrible quality control. I don't have a single mark on my phone. It has NEVER been dropped. It is in flawless condition.
So mad right now.
I feel ya bud.... I am hoping to ride out this replacement till my upgrade in June....

If I had to take a stab at it, that cold weather means cold fingers, which means no touch screen.... Which means it will appear to be an issue when in fact your fingers r just cold..... Try it out, hold onto a cold drink, let your fingers get nice and cold and touch your screen... No response.... But what do I know... I'm in Florida where its 80 degrees outside
I do know our phones do have issues and I'm not saying the cold is the cause of everyone's issue... Just looking at the big picture... Or trying to. Hope everyone gets it worked out.

A friend of mine has the EVO 3D (it's GSM, not CDMA - and I'm seeing a lot of you having the CDMA versions) and I am a Desire HD owner. Both touch screens are great! Also, I can use them with gloves (well, the place where the finger tips are, the material got somewhat rare). In any case, we are not experiencing any problems with his touch screen, and it's -5 to -15 Centigrades outside .
I'd say it's because of the CDMA?! I also heard that some Galaxy S (I9000) users were having troubles with their phones bought from the EU, then brought to US. Screen displaying colours/bars like crazy etc...
I'd say the network pretty much interferes with the internals of the phone. That's just my opinion...
Both the Desire HD and EVO 3D touch screens DO act strange, but that's when it's snowing outside, so the screen gets a bit wet and... you know... it's making it too horny to focus on the touches anymore... he wants more than just a touch... XD
This is an HTC issue, I believe HTC should almost have like a recall for this. Fix it for free. Not by us paying money to get it fixed. I'm dropping HTC phones and going elsewhere for a phone.
sorry wrong thread
FIX~~maybe
Ok so after 24 hours of testing I got ghost touches only 2 times.anyway my phone used to have ghost touches every like 2 min...
Solution: search for "pimp my rom" in the market.(it requires root access btw)
After you install it go to tweaks->touch screen and display and set min. Velocity to 2500 and max velocity to 4500. For your phone the values may differ.so feel free to test other values till you get the best results. Also max events per sec should be at 60. After ur done just apply your settings.top left check Mark.
If this didn't work it could be a hardware issue.but for me it did the trick.I still get some ghost touches so they are not gone forever but its way better now.
Hope this helps peeps.

For the past couple of months, my screen has been detecting too many inputs on the top half of the screen, primarily in the middle of it. One finger seems to produce up to four inputs sometimes, depending on the amount of pressure. I'm not mashing the screen or anything, but I do play the occasional game of pew-pew.
I've tried a keyboard recallibration and a full wipe to no avail. Currently running ViperROM, but I don't think that's the issue. Any suggestions before I try my luck with the repair plan?
I have the same issue. Looks to be hardware related.
Try uninstall third party lock screen...
I'm using sense for that.
I had that issue for a while. I had to completely wipe and change roms. I think I found a lock screen was to blame. as the other poster pointed out.
Using LeeDroid, I got rid of the sense lockscreen and went back to the droid one. Nothing seemed to change.
When this first happened on a previous ViperROM build, I had been using it for a long time. After doing a full wipe and upgrading to the newest version of it, the problem came back immediately. So, I really doubt it's got something to do with that.

Download multitouch test free from market.. run it .. set phone on table and watch it.. if u see circles while not touching it.. then you my friend have a bad digitizer (screen)... I've had 3
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
That's actually how I noticed the extra inputs to begin with. They only show up while touching the screen.
Edit: A little weirdness. I accidentally left it under my laptop for a few hours. Now, I only get one extra input instead of three. It seems to detect up to four just fine, though.
I found my problem related to this was using a screen protector, the anti glare and clear had these phantoms touches, even from breathing on the screen wrong.
Removed since its got gorilla glass anyways, no more issues.

Ive got your answer guys! its the screen digitalizier had the same exact problems for months to the point of throwing it, sometimes i would put a new rom on it and it would fix it for a couple hours and then it would come back I called a cell phone repair place in st louis called. CRP they have local shops and a website you can send it in. It takes about 2 hours if you have a shop around you or send it off. Call around to see if you have any cell phone repair shops near you Ok by now, you guys are dieing too know the price right, $89.99 plus tax for local repair was my price. Beware you can buy this part from amazon with a kit for $25 and theres video guides online too but unless your use to this kind of work ,pay for a shop to do it or buy the whole lcd screen which is over a hundred dollars anyway. I hope my advice helped you guys because im so happy to have my 3vo running like new again.

thanks for that - sonic was doing my head in - when i would run it would freeze and jump as if i wasnt pressing a direction as well - thought it could be a bit dodgy but it looks like the multi touch is working (I guess evo 3d only has 4 point multi touch?)
