Has anyone had a problem with the the Evo 3D not responding on games with touch points?
Here is what I am experiencing.
All emulators I've tried, and nearly all touch-heavy games have had problems. During game-play, the touch points become unresponsive for a few moments and then start working again; or not at all. Multi-Touch points.. like when you are running on Meganoid and jump, instead of still running when he hits the ground like he is supposed to, he just stops. And I have to repress the directional points to get him going again. This is a very big problem with Emulators as well. Though I did not experience this when I was using the EVO 4G.
Has anyone had this happen? And if so, if there a solution?
I have a Video of the problem. (can't post the link, of course) But it's on my YouTube Channel MatlockEvo.
Sorry for the poor quality in advance. Can't find my Tripod for the camera. Had to work with my Laptop's Webcam.
Well, I play Tapsonic on E3D and it has to be the most "touch heavy" games ever, like 1000 taps on the screen in less then 3 mins. It responds very well, I never had any problem at all. Maybe your device is faulty.
Went to Sprint yesterday and sat.. literally, I had their Lead Tech sit besideme.Heacted likehedidn't know what to do lol Showed him what i was experienceing, and let him play with my phone. Showed him the multi touch apps and how they would jerk and eventually stop working. Told him how I tested the Digitizer with the #*#*3424*#*# code. He questioned how i knew about it. Duh.. LOL
Anyway, we tried problem solving, and eventually concluded it was more than likely a software issue.
Before i went to Sprint, i told myself if I could not get the problem solved, I would go ahead and Root for CyanogenMod. Maybe that would help the issue.
I did a Factory Reset and started over, again. The first thing I did was download Meganoid, to see if, just maybe, this time it would work right..
.. and wouldn't ya know it.. I am having no issues at all with my touch points.

I had some touchscreen probs today. I had a dead zone over the e, s, x, buttons that went from top to bottom. I couldn't use the touchscreen in that section whatsoever. I went to sprint, showed them the line drawing test using HTCs testing app (v1.0) and an hour later I had a new touchscreen installed. I recommend getiing it looked at. More than likely it's hardware related, but comes and goes, but will eventually go. That's my two cents. Good luck to ya!

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...

I was having the same problem. Your post that your had updated your profile was key to me finding a solution.

After updating this morning to .15, I just got the random reboot since before the .13 update. Using ICS+ browser.
Am I the only one? This sucks. Gary Key, I've already sent you a PM.
Please don't fill this thread stating .15 is working perfectly for you. I already know it is working well for most people.
How many reboots?
In over 48 hours I have had only 1 reboot and I believe it was my fault. I was using the stock browser and was trying to do too much at once and not letting it catch up.
If your having multiple reboots that is a different story.
Just one thus far. How can any reboot be "your fault"?

Really guy, you created a thread because of one reboot??? An issue would be if you had constant reboots, not just one. Every tablet I have owned rebooted now an then, it happens. Now lets see all the 'me toos' pop up now.
after the update gta3 doesnt work for me anymore anyone has the same issue. I clear data then uninstall and reinstall the apk nothing. It will work all the way up until the load is almost finish and it gets stuck on the load screen. Freaking A
update: now Age of Zombies lets me play for a while and then its goes black and restarts the game. WTF before the update it did not do this!
Going to restart the tablet and hope this fixes whatever is going on
update 2: looks like that solved it thank god,
so guys basic troubleshooting restart your devices and see if the problem continues

That's very good advice, you should always reboot after an update.
My prime started restarting when i had my xbox dongle in the USB slot today. Had about 5 reboots today. Never had a reboot before(well probably once every three/month).
One restart isnt something to be concerned about.
I have had one reboot since receiving the update yesterday.

I disagree, reboots are NOT normal, I had the Xoom since the day it was released till two weeks ago, and never had spontaneous reboots like the Prime does(I also had no issues with the Galaxy Tab, and the HTC Flyer.) App crashes, Apps not working till reboot are one thing but I am getting reboots on .15 when even trying to run Market updates. I have hard reset and had the market reload my apps and the problem came back the very next day. I just returned my unit to Frys since it was my last day in my return window. I also had a problem with the covers on the USB cable sliding off and if I plugged the charger upside-down I would get a slight shock from the back of the Prime.
They did not have any in stock to exchange, which might have been a blessing. I am going to wait and see how future shakes out before trying again.
My theory(unscientific) is the the Prime is using very slow NAND Flash memory for storage. I had the 64gb version and when writing to the storage it seems to take a lot longer than the Xoom. If I had 6 or 7 market updates on the Xoom it would take 30 to 40 seconds to download and install, the Prime would take 2 to 3 minutes(if it did not reboot itself before completing.). I would constantly get the Wait/Cancel prompt on the stock browser when a website was almost done loading, and writing cache to the NAND Flash.

Lockups and reboots are no different then a BSOD on a PC its 100% not normal and or acceptable.

I agree, while my desktop PC seems to average between 5 - 10 a year, my blackberry playbook has had none so devices that don't randomly reboot are possible to make. In truth, though I love the Prime it has had the most random reboots of any device I have.

My two year old PC has never had reboots, in applicaion crash on occasion. I think the key is the stability and quality of the components being used, and in this case ASUS is cutting corners to keep the price low. Look at the threads with peoples screens lifiting and dust under the screens.
Don't get me wrong, I like the Prime and I will probably get another when some of the issues get sorted out.

Its because of the Tegra3 i wouldnt call it cutting corners exactly however their quality control has been pretty terrible with the Primes.
I agree. Reboots are not normal. I have never had a single reboot on my desktop that I built or my laptop. The only time my phone has ever rebooted was due to a known issue with an ota, which is fixed. I NEVER had a reboot with my prime until. 15.

I am experiencing lots of reboots
I was watching a flash video in the browser when this started. The tablet kept on rebooting itself over 15 times in a row....i had to use a paper clip in order to reset it. tablet has about 15% of charge left when this started. I am not sure if it related. This issue never occurred until this last .15 update. Also i noticed now they have the application not responding dialog box appears when an application hangs "IMBD", however after you hit kill the application it doesn't do anything and the tablet reboot itself withing 10 sec. ASUS when are you going to be able to fix this?
No reboot so far for five days.

This. After I installed new flash update I keep rebooting when I play youtube video. Kept rebooting 3 times in a row. Won't go near youtube again until it is fixed. Happened in dolphin. Seems to happen every time.
Looks like I'm not alone either. Well, the only other person I know with an Evo 4G LTE experiences the exact same thing, at least.
You can play for about 10-15 seconds before the screen freezes. The background audio that plays during gameplay still can be heard, but the game is locked up.
It happens on all versions of the game even after uninstalling, restarting, and reinstalling.
Anyone else?
Quite curious.
Thanks
Works fine for me

Strange... It doesn't work for us at all.
I don't have the wife app so I can't relate to the second part.
have you tryed rebooting the phone. my tablet has had this happen before with netflix and a reboot fixed it.
I just tried mine, and it seems to work OK. I just updated yesterday. I rebooted after the update so maybe that's why?!? Not sure. I believe there was an Angry birds app update that came through after the OTA update, but I could be speaking out my hind end.
I have the wife app, and she seems to be running stable so far today. This is always subject to change though
This is annoying enough that it moved me to backup my shizzle and completely wipe my device.
I did a factory reset and had it wipe out my SD card and phone storage both.
I got the phone back up and running, installed Angry Birds again.
Locked up 10 seconds into playing.
My friend and I continue to have the same issue.
Any ideas?
The stock browser keeps crashing on me too. The screen just goes white and nothing loads. This never happened before the OTA update. Also the youtube app gets stuck on a black screen. It's happened twice and I've had to reset my phone to fix it. It hasn't done it in awhile but it just sucks because it never did it before the update.

Same with me and stock browser
Not only am I having the browser issue I'm also getting a white screen for Gmail and Google maps and also have Google wallet not want to open. I've been having to reset my phone almost 2 times a day from these issues. Never happened at all before the ota update.

Juan...I forgot to mention Gmail in my post but I'm also getting a white screen upon opening gmail. A reset always fixes that but it's super annoying.
I have narrowed it down to only Google apps and the stock browser I can access all apps when it acts up with the white screens but it's weird that it started doing this after the ota update.

Have you guys try to do factory rest after OTA? I havent met this issue at all.
I've been running the GHarmony ICS ROMs for a while, and have really been loving the 1.5 release. Super excited to try 1.6, but no matter what I do, it won't boot past the birds. (Trust me, I mean NO MATTER WHAT - I've tried everything anyone suggested anywhere that I could find, I asked anyone that would give me any suggestions. Nothing has worked.)
I'm not sure if it's some abnormality in my hardware or the changes in the ROM - I was hoping maybe to get some advice or at least commiseration here...
Is anyone else using this ROM?
If so, is anyone else having this problem?
if so if so, has anyone figured out a workaround or a fix?
I could switch to a different ROM (most others have worked with no problem) but in my experience, this is the best ICS I've used on this tablet...
I'm in the exact same boat.
I had been using flashback for the past few months and loving it. However over the last few weeks, it had gotten to a point where I felt like playing around with what is out there and decided to move to g-harmony.
After running the nvflash file and installing (which work perfectly) the most i can get is a black screen after the birds that just sits there and does nothing.
I just reinstalled flashback with no problem at all on the gtablet.
Really looking forward to using g-harmony but need help.
Can you get any version of GHarmony to work? What process did you follow to nvflash and do your install?
I was able to get earlier versions (pre-1.6) by following the raywaldo instructions first (the "nvflash for dummies" ones, but they were recommended to move to an ICS ROM), and they went on perfectly, no problems.

I have not. However, point me to 1.5 and i'll give it a shot.
I did just give 120 a shot however and got excited because the birds were flashing more than before, but same results, a black screen going nowhere.
Yeah, I'd like to know if your problem is with all of t hem, or just w/ the latest (like mine).
I can't include an external link here, so check your PM - I'll send it there.

Sorry, looks like mine is a different issue. Just puts me in an endless reboot to the birds stage. I tried nvflashing the 250 mb again. I even tried the 300mb on raywaldo and still, the same result.
And even though i didnt want to go to the drh rom, i gave it a shot to see what would happen there. Same result, just a loop through the birds and then the black screen making it look like something is loading but nothing is happening.
Went back and installed flashback again, no problems at all. Booted up perfectly the first time.
So GHarmony 1.5 just gives you the endless reboot to the birds? If so, that's what I get. The birds, then a quick flash, then back to the birds.
The 300MB version didn't help me either. Neither did any of the diagnostic techniques anyone suggested anywhere.
I did get stuck in a loop last night where I went from the birds to a black screen, after I nvflashed something. I was able to get out of it after nvflashing something different. It looked just like APX mode, except it didn't respond to commands.

So i had gotten excited. After getting flashback running, i decided to download all of the g-harmony files again and give it another go. Figured something happened with the download of the files.
Run nvflash again, wipe cache, reboot into tnt, worked great.
Fresh download of 1.6, installed no problems at all.
Power off.
Birds show up for about 2-3 seconds and then just a black screen. Not apx mode since you can tell the screen is still on, but just blackness on the screen.
So similar, but not quite the same as what I'm getting. I don't know what the problem is, It's weirdest that there's no hint of a problem anywhere. All the installs go fine, the tablet will boot before I install the ROM or after I restore it back, and I even checked all my partitions and made sure they're the same size, with no bad blocks (that I could find) or anything else that might gum things up.
I haven't seen anything else in the topic about the ROM itself that suggests others are having issues, so I don't really know what a next step should be.
