I realize similar threads have been posted about this, such as this. Not only my issue is different here, but those threads have been dead too.
My issue here is, I'm running on a stock, unrooted T-Mobile Amaze, and I get similar issues mentioned by rooted users. Is there any workaround to this? Games and web browsing gets annoying with the jitters it gets while using multitouch, and in some games, such as minecraft, it is unplayable.
There's a pin on the back of the phone when you get the cover off. A bit more of search should help you find the thread

I saw that thread too. The thing is, it is only happening when I use multitouch. With single touch, it works flawlessly, but when I use multitouch, it's all good until I transition it to one finger. (I hope that makes sense) After that, the input goes crazy, moving everywhere.
I'll upload a video on what I'm talking about. It's hard to explain it in words, but hopefully having it on video will make this more understandable.
Here is the video:
Note: I have already tried that "bending the pin" trick, and it doesn't work.
Actually I had that same issue and after replacing the phone it ended up being widgetlocker. After I uninstalled it multi touch, especially in games, worked without an issue. Especially had problems when you would hold a touch on one part and touch other parts of the screen, such as in a game emulator.

Wow. That was actually it! I uninstalled GO Locker and those issues disappeared. Good to know that these apps can actually cause issues, but now an even better question, why do these apps cause issues?
or an othe better question, are there any lockers out there that do not cause this issue?

Anyone else had this problem rooted or not? I couldnt hang up the call to customer service just now to request a replacement. Ive had to turn off the screen then back on to get touch reponse to work again. Phone has never been rooted. Weird. Resets dont fix either.

Iv seen that with the OG evo also, as well as my 3vo
Having the same problem. Probably will carry it in next week for replacement. Already took it in once and they said wait for a couple of weeks to see if HTC/Sprint release a software update. It's starting to get very annoying and unusable. Very much ruining the experience of having a powerful smartphone.
i have it too with my gsm version , the upper part of mine screen is sometimes not responsive

i wonder if this is related at all to the screen grounding issues which they originally had in the HTC EVO. the end result of the screen grounding issue was parts of the screen were unresposive...
i do remember they patched something in an update which fixed that issue.
i remember there was a test for the screen grounding issue but i barely remember how it worked. i'm sure there are older threads on it as it was a fairly big deal when the device first came out. the test had something to do with drawing lines or something on the screen?
might not be helfpul, but figured it was worth mentioning. i haven't had any issues on my evo 3d so its hard for me to troubleshoot and compare...
at least replacing the phone will be a decent solution until we can find out more about this issue ... sad it seems to be fairly common.
Hey guys Iv got this installed on my ATRIX and it seems the game runs fine... but... the controls are really messed up... as in related to responsiveness... like the controls get stuck in a certain position or they all a sudden become too sensitive and turn you 180 degrees or something extremely annoying like that...
Am I the only one having this problem...??
Also I was reading in some other threads the Atrix apparently has some issues registering a touch when you hold your finger on it, it stops responding...?? Iv noticed this as well on a few other games... like gangster...
If this is true then it makes this tegra device pretty much useless for gaming if it can't get the controls right...
By the way the all used was for tegra devices...

I've never had any problems with that. And the touch responsiveness is a feature that is supposed to happen when there is a raindrop or something on the screen. its supposed to no longer register it. some people have said it happens with their fingers but personally I've never had that problem and i game quite a bit on my atrix.

The easy way to see it happen is in Angry Birds. Open a level in AB and pull back the sling shot. Don't let go, just hold your finger there. Somewhere between 15 and 20 seconds the bird will launch with your finger in the same spot you held it.

Currently, no. Motorola fails... HARD. I can only hope Google will make some changes because disabling touch input is surely not the way to compete against Apple. The raindrop "feature" is just plain brutal abysmal stupidity without boundaries. They should fire the jackass who implemented this because he completely ruined gaming on Atrix for at least 50% of the games out there.

It doesn't ruin gaming, it just makes you make a conscious effort to lift your finger for a ms to get control back. The first game I had a real problem with was Pew Pew. It's a Geometry Wars clone. Gotta lift your your thumbs for a second to start moving and shooting again. I'm optimistic that the folks working on the CM7 port will figure out a way to disable it.

Actually I would say my problem is worse than whatever your talking about... in the sense that holding the finger there for a while then it not working is fine... but what's happening alot is the thing becomes either too responsive or stops responding... that is for me the main problem... say I was trying to aim at someone in any fps... all a sudden it would just throw me pointing at the ceiling ... or im walking straight and let go to stop... it will keep walking forward... that makes it unplayable...

Whenever I'm trying to play most games my multi touch fails!
This happens with gameboid, tanked, Shadowgun, Grand Theft Auto...and I'm sure a number of other apps/games. I'll start to run with my left thumb and then upon shooting with the right the left will lose contact for a millisecond and detect my thumb again but as if it just touched so my running stops. VERY annoying and makes playing anything IMPOSSIBLE.
Is this a common problem with Amazes? I'm deciding if I should sell it immediately.
Also, I bought it secondhand so I'm guessing neither HTC nor Tmobile will switch it out right?
it has been annoying the **** outta me since the first update that has beel rolled out. like its really annoying. It gets fixed with updates cause the roms i have installed made the problem a little bit better

Hi,
my wife got the DNA, since I'm very happy with my GNex and all the fine ROM's I was able to test drive.
Now I was not planning to do anything to the DNA, since it becomes my issue at that very moment, when anything weird is happening to the wife's DNA. Some may relate...
For the past week or so she has been complaining that the phones hangs for 10-30 seconds in various applications.
- Words with Friends, in app, just dragging a letter onto the board
- Messages, just opening a particular thread
- Settings, opening different menus within settings, like apps or even About
- Home Screen, swiping to the left or right... you have to wait until it moves, sometimes you see it kind of inching to the left or right...
- other places throughout the phone
Now the phone is operating mainly in Wifi mode when she is around the house, due to the preservation of data in my share everything plan.
When she operates the phone from the kitchen, she is borderline reception, even so the DNA shows 1-2 bars of wifi. By the way a lot better then any other phone I have had, even my old trusty DroidX, which I thought had the best reception (wifi) of all.
This behavior is not 100% reproducible and I can't really get the exact analysis data from my wife, when she is already frustrated... Also I don't know a lot about Sense and wonder if that might be the issue.
Just now reading a little here to see if there are already custom ROM's out there either addressing the issue or getting rid of Sense all together and making the DNA more a natural Android 4.2 phone.
Help!
Thanks

Ok, so me and another guy did some tests with the onex+ touch screen and found out why so many of us have issues with scrolling, we need as many people as possible to report the issue to HTC so we can get a hotfix, i dont think HTC realize at the moment, this is what to do, type in on th phone keypad *#*#3424#*#*. choose more, then choose the screen drawing option, dont draw, just touch it with your finger and see if there is a white dot, if there isnt then touch another part of the screen and then see if the previous touch shows up, if so you have the same software issue as many of us, its quite possible that its a major hardware flaw and cant be rectified in which case HTC will have to do mass repairs or recall, we are not going to stand for this at a price of £500, if you have this issue please report on HTC website, either email or chat or phone call, it needs to be done or we will have scrolling issues time and time again on each update.

Me and another guy discovered it, trying to sort out our scrolling problems, as of now theres an issue. 4 people have the exact same issue so far and i bet theres more.Test your screen and you will no for sure. Its causing random clicks and rubberbanding when scrolling, its not all the time and probably wouldnt notice it unless your a heavy user(always on your phone)
you have the same software issue as many of us, its quite possible that its a major hardware flaw

Yup, I noticed it too. It's gone now, since I switched over to CM10. It makes no sense! (See what I did there? )
I think I'm that other guy OP was talking about. I have this scrolling issue where stuff on screen are being selected or clicked on accidentally instead of scrolling though them - but never had this problem before I updated to the most recent firmware, so I'm pretty sure this is a software thing.
Best we could do right now is report to HTC.

It would be nice to know if the problem shows its ugly head on the lte/4g versions, its def got to be reported, if its hardware they will have to recall or fix them, and they cant turn away people who are rooted or have custom roms if it hardware. Hi sharpshooterr, yes op is you, i couldnt remember your name untill i seen it lol. Same test on the onex with android 4.1.1 with sense 4+ shows the screen is perfect, theres not even any lag when drawing either. Things like this shouldnt be getting through quality control on high end flagship devices, really shows HTC is going down hill fast.
As of now i think your testing might be a little flawed, you are using the wrong test. This is a line draw test, not a touch test. Its liable to act the same for everyone when just touching. How does it draw for you? Draws fine for me. the thing about touching then touching again and both dots show is not any sort of test IMO because again this is a LINE DRAW test. Maybe download some of the touch and multitouch tests from the market and try those.
Dont get me wrong, if there is something wrong then it needs to be addressed. I applaud you for trying to bring it public. You should look into some other tests though. HTC will not pay any attention to this issue if its brought to them like this. Get some more info, more tests, different tests.. The more the merrier
With the information i've read here it does sound software related though.. custom roms can fix it and firmware updates can break it. Doesn't sound hardware to me.

Ok, ive tested the same drawing test screen on the onex, doesnt happen, soon as you touch the screen it registers under your finger, the screen has to register the first touch in that same spot your finger is on no matter what your doing, this is why its clicking in other places and rubber banding when your scrolling, its registering to late, and the line drawing lags like f---k. When your drawing your keeping your finger on it so its going to register eventually in the place you want it, its no good when your scrolling. Ive reproduced the same in gesture search, and again on the onex it doesnt do it in gesture search. Keep in mind there both running android 4.1.1 with 4+ sense, the only screen difference is the glass. If what your saying is true then the onex should be the same way so i know its not down to he test app along with the other tests ive done. Eitherway theres def a problem with scrolling.Your probably right about HTC not doing anything.EDIT: Ive decided to refund or sell it and carry on using the onex, it just seems faster, battery last longer.

With the exception of insert coin my phone is the same. I do not have this problem. Something is wrong with the rom, your kernel or your phone if you are having touch screen issues.
I am unlocked, running elegancia, rooted. I do not have TWRP flashed as there are issues charging when the battery dies. Even when i did I never had touch screen issues.
Multi touch is useless also, only 2 fingers register, on a brandnew high end device and it only supports 2 finger multitouch, oh yes, i have a touch screen app that actually registers a soon as you touch the screen, but its only one app, all others i tested do as i described so i really do not know what to think, its def not hardware, its down to the software, we should get 4.2.1 soon and hopefully it will be gone, as the op said, i dont think HTC will do anything, especially now i found an app that makes the touch work as it should. So, basically, dont worry to much, its not the hardware. Ive boxed my onex+ back up and im using the onex untill new OS, i might even flash stock nexus 4 OS on the onex.

To get the device to register more than 2 fingers go into settings -Display, gestures & buttons - turn off under gestures - HTC gestures (uncheck) this will give you up to 10 multitouch points.

I can confirm that it is NOT absurd and works the way he posted it... even if you hit show touches in development, and leave htc gestures checked, none of the multitouch testing apps pick up more than 2 touches... even though you can see more, they dont register as touches in apps and games.. So... in order to have the full 10 point multitouch, no matter how absurd you think it is, HTC gestures must be unchecked.. Google it

You misunderstand, I'm saying that it's absurd that boe323's saying the device can only support up to two touches and multi-touch is useless. Since you yourself said it will register up to 10 touches with the correct setting then it IS absurd that he claims it can only pick up two. Even the HTC gesture settings clearly says 3 finger-touches so that in itself made his statement of only two-touch support absurd.
It seems that you think I'm disagreeing with ihavoc, you should improve your reading comprehension.
