When I play some games on my phone that requires me to hold my finger down on the touch screen, my touch screen becomes unresponsive. Any ideas as to what would cause this?
Typical issue with this phone search around bud. Scroll down 10 seconds and you'll find your answer and much more.
There have been many topics about this. Please read a bit, people. Of course, the people who don't read won't read me telling them to read. =/

Ya I read it, but I felt like complaining anyway.
Btw, your comment really hurt my feelings; I won't be able to sleep tonight because I'll be crying.

So I'm assuming there is nothing that can be done about this?
I believe Joker said he was able to fix it at one point, but that it was too twitchy or something. Check in the multi touch thread in development. Pretty sure that is where I read it.
My biggest gripe with this phone is this. I love the reception and sound quality, but I'm pretty much waiting for the Asus Padfone because of this issue.
I hope this isn't an issue for all Motorola devices, but I'll make sure next time I get another Motorola device.

Either you are the most unlukiest guy around or you have screwed something up!
Are you rooted? Unlocked bootloader? Have you removed or frozen an app?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
i'v done 4 things :
1) update the phone
2) rooted the phone
3) kick the **** of the SprintOmaDm service with Titanium Backup.
4) change in the Build.Prop :
smoother scrolling
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
Well id say number 3 is your problem.
We told you how to disable sprint activation in the Disable Sprint Activation The Easy Way thread!
The way you've done it through Titanium may be the cause of your lock screen issues, sure I've read in another thread of this issue. Try searching, you will be surprised

Unsure regarding the screen as I play games on the Photon without any issues
If you regret it that much then consider getting rid of it and get something else.
Me personally love this phone and when I tell you i've had around 7 different handsets this year alone, this is the only one I want to keep. I've had the SGSII, HTC Sensation, LG 2X, Desire HD, Atrix etc, etc but this phone is stunning right out the box, speedy, not too much **** on it, has so much potential its unreal.
The days of the Photon are just beginning.

Well the LG 2X has half the available RAM as the Photon, 8GB of storage compared to the Photon.
The SGSII is a great device, very fast, **** loads of ROM's but far too thin for my liking, feels very cheap in the hand, when you go to pick it up off a flat surface I've forgotten how many times I dropped it.
But you need to be happy and the Photon ticks everything for me

Bloody hell man its a frigging phone, use it as one or get a cheap nasty Nokia
Also you keep opening threads on this that and the other and then in your last post here you say you still have the sprint film on your screen and wonder if it is affecting your screen, can you actually see anything through the text on the film?
Man I feel whatever device you get we will be seeing more of you in different XDA forums, opening pointless threads!

Discaimer: I'm apologizing in advance of this seems like a stupid question or post.
I noticed that my search button partly illuminates when I first turn on my phone if it's completely off. Once the phone is fully booted and my home screen comes on all of the other buttons light up properly as well as the search button.
It just seems a little odd, but isn't causing any problems. Anyone else have this? I'm just hoping it's not a sign of potential hardware problems. (Yes I have insurance but enjoy full root with hboot 1.4)

Mine too. I was always kinda curious about whether it was common or not, but it never really bothered me too much
Yes, its normal. They should have got that fixed before finalizing this model.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Mine is the same way as well. It's a light leakage. If I use one of the kernels with dim LEDs, my buttons look like ass because of this. Most people can lower their value to 2 (in ..../button-backlight/currents), while I can only lower mine to 14 before it starts looking dumb.
Mine is most prominent when in recovery. Only time I notice it.
Sent from my Google Nexus S 4G via XDA Premium
Cool, thanks for all the replies. Happy to know it's common.
By the way it's nice to see some fellow Evo/Hero guys in here. I recognize Leukay and Tailsthecat from one of those 2 forums. Don't know you guys personally but nice to see you in here. Actually I think I recognize Rydah803 and Ducky1131 too so good to see you all here.

I've noticed this too. It does make the phone look like crap when the LEDs are off.
It's light "bleed" from the screen to the search button. it most visible in recovery, probably because your screen is completely white and it's easy to see the white light bleed.
Kinda sad that HTC didn't fix this issue before releasing the phone.. Cheap internal build quality, perhaps?
I think it may be due to the fact that they used some sort of clear plastic to put together the inside. If you open the batterycover you can see what I'm talking about.

I got it too and my phone is a recently assembled device on one of the latest h boot builds. Doubt this will be fixed so i guess we live with it...
Same with me I thought only i have that issue.
Seems like HTC did a bad job in this area. I also have hardware build 0002 so I guess it's an issue with that build.

Has anyone else noticed that with their photon....it'll just stop vibrating, then start again? I've noticed this a lot when typing for long periods of time
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Yes, this used to happen to me all the time. Especially when playing games that used vibration a lot. I think it was the weight on the vibrator (lol) getting stuck or jammed somehow. I would just give my Photon a little smack on the side and it would come right back on. It hasn't done it for a couple of months now though.

Holy s**t!!!! I have been meaning to start this thread for weeks, I thought the damm thing was broken and it was just me!!! I'll be typing, then all of a sudden the virbration will stop, I can still type, but not virbration. Then all of a sudden, its cool? At one point it was annoying because it was like every other minute, now it's like a few keystrokes every few days? Odd i must say!
BTW: The only reason I came to this thread was to joke "have you tried sitting on washer on spin?", but after I read it the joke died!

You should have seen the transformer prime forums when that launched. Damn that was bad and not even a phone..
I just avoid the problem threads. I have no issues that i notice so i figure why go looking for them. If they are pointed out to me I'll be annoyed even if it previously didn't affect me.

Exactly. Put me down in the zero-issues column. If I notice something, I'll search for a solution, but I won't go chasing after device hypochondria.
Agreed. I've had mine since May 24th and have had 0 issues.
The sad thing is is everyone will jump on board in a problem thread, but then again, those that are enjoying there new toy and have 0 issues won't post a thread just to say this is awesome.
With that being said, we are still within the first 2 weeks of launch, and only 2 days past the official launch date. The dev community is getting geared up, and there are still a lot of great dev's waiting to get their devices.

Evryone wants a perfect phone I been thru a lot release from the OG evo, to the 3d, iPhone 4s, and galaxy nexus, and man they all the same... Do you have dust under screen? Is your screen warm or blue? Do you see lines? Does your speaker does this?, people going over 3 iPhone or Evos and there still no happy, I seriously don't know if I'm just lucky or I really don't noticed anything cause I never had a problem like that, for example when the 3d came out they said the screen was tilted, I don't freaking now how much time you need to have to noticed that cause to me it was normal, or the "screengate" on the iPhone forums, idk man my phone is good best reception since og evo and talking and browsing the Web is amazing when you use it so I'm happy evo owner

Yet another useless thread...why oh why lord?!?
I know I shouldn't have even bothered with my useless reply...my apologies...
Mine would spontaneously reboot, maybe 5-10x in the first 24 hours I had it. Yes I did factory wipe. No I didn't restore any apps, root, or even install an SD card.
So I exchanged it, and this one seems solid, not a single reboot. I'm convinced there was something wrong with the first one.
With that being said, I love this phone.
I think I have a bum phone.
The stock browser disappears quite a bit. Text wrapping for the browser, gmail app and others isn't right. I have to swipe left and right to read.
Sense launcher has long reload times when exiting apps.
My screen is slightly protruded at the top right corner and the battery life for me yesterday off a full charge only lasted eight hours. Normal work day of checking emails, a few phone calls, browser look ups etc. No games or heavy use.
I'm going to exchange it as soon as I have time.
Stock not rooted or anything.
I miss the search button but have mostly got used to the dots.
Its not much but its driving me nuts. I'm sure its software. I want to talk to anyone here that has seen this. Help me xda your my only hope.

I've noticed mine flickering a little bit, but it doesn't happen all that often. I never used it stock, so I just figured it was an issue with the Gapps ROM. Again, it doesn't happen often, so it doesn't bother me too bad, but just to make your mind at ease....you aren't the only one to notice this.
by flickering, do you guys mean the aggressive auto brightness? because that i HAVE noticed. usually turn it off anyway though

No, this is a different item. Like you, I turn off the auto-brightness too. I haven't nailed down when it happens, but it's just a quick bit of feint flickering for me, then back to normal. Kind of hard to explain I guess. I've noticed it a couple times a day since I got mine last week with pretty heavy usage.

My thoughts exactly. The more I read some of the forums, the more I regret my decision of getting the HDX on sale vs the Nexus 7....I was looking at the great specs and not thinking of more, but last night showed me the potential this thing has when I installed the AOSP ROM. Not perfect, but potential. Liking AOSP over the Gapps ROM despite not having music and video.
While reading yesterday's XKCD "What if?", I was able to reproduce the flicker reasonably well. It showed up frequently on the white theme of "Press", but not the dark one (or I simply didn't notice it as much). I did a quick video showing it the best I could. Sorry for the shakiness. The primary time-frame it happens is between 12-16 second mark.
