Hey whats up everyone. Ok long story short, I got the evo3d the first day it came out. Also rooted it with the first solution and never installed a custom rom for a while. Now a while back I started experiencing problems like when i touch a number key it either presses another, or sometimes enters it twice. It basically is making the phone impossible to use. I then figured maybe it had something to do with the original rom and the phone being rooted. So I then installed ViperRom as so many people have good things to say about it. The rom worked good for about a week or so and then the problem came back with the buttons just having a mind of its own. Now sometimes it will work with no issues for hours on end, and sometimes it just goes beserk from the get go. If anyone has experienced this and can please suggest something as Im ready to just call it in lost and have them send me a new one but if I can fix it I would much prefer that as I plan on just having it flashed to boost anyways since I've never used the 4g since the day ive gotten the phone.
Thanks in advance

I had this problem with another phone and I reinstalled my keyboard, because that's what was causing it.

It sounds like you've got issues with your digitizer. The only sure fix is to get a replacement.

Do you think maybe just trying to flash it back to stock would resolve the issue or possibly trying another rom? It happens so sporadic and only started after I rooted the phone. Also, to the poster above how do you reinstall your keyboard?

You can try to return to stock/unrooted and see if you can repeat the issue. And I didn't mean reinstall the keyboard, the digitizer is part of the touch screen assembly, so if you can repeat the problem for a sprint rep, they may give you a new/replacement phone.
Flashing back to stock, flipping kernels etc... Didn't fix mine. I had to get 2 of these 3d's until the 3rd finally worked. It's the digitizer.

First off: Let me clarify that I searched the forums but could not find any thread that described my problem. If this has already been answered, please help me close this thread.
I'd been running the Desire V5 Android build with Jul 23rd zImage for a while now without any problems.
I recently started having lag, slowdown and non-responsive touchscreen (I'd have to wake my device many times before it started responding). Last evening, it stopped responding completely. I pulled the battery and booted back to Windows, only to see that that touchscreen wasn't working even there!
Worried, I flashed the shipped ROM for my T-Mo HD2 - no SPL (RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) and the touchscreen started working again.
I thought everything was fine and started Android, and found that the touchscreen stopped working.
Now, even reflashing the shipped ROM doesn't seem to do anything.
What can I do? Should I do a Task <what>? Has anyone seen/had this problem before? I'm hoping it isn't defective hardware.
Ok, got it working
Ok, I got it working again.
1. I did a Task 29 using (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781&highlight=Task29, ShaDrac's repack).
2. Flashed a ROM (I used the T-Mobile stock ROM, but I guess anything else would have worked too).
Hope this helps if someone else faces the same problem!
I wonder why this happened, though.
Im glad you got it fixed
Maybe you can put a [fixed] or something in the thread title to help others?
Just a thought

Guess I spoke too soon! The problem is back, and this time I didn't even boot into Android. Guess it's the hardware. I'll just have to install the stock ROM with SPL and go back to T-Mobile!

I have the same problem. Right now, I think it's the hardware. Just sat down the other day with my HD2 in my pocket. Maybe it has been bent or something like that. I don't know....
the same thing is happening to me..at first if i locked my phone and the screen wudnt respond..now it wont respond at all..i tried flashing it..still not working!!..has to be something with android..i installed a new android build the day b4....or the new cookies home tab replacement...i installed that too...dont kno wat to do now...
I have had the same exact problem.. the touchscreen stopped working when my friends and some chicks were taking pic (EMBARASSING ) ).. and i even tried it on windows mobile, didnt work. tried that yellowish button in the back of the phone to reset it.. nothing happened.. so i plugged in my phone to charge up (IN WINDOWS since i couldnt boot into android.) It was charging the whole night, and when i woke up the issue is gone, havent had it at all after that.
i am almost positive its hardware; you all are describing the same exact problem i had a month back. i finally had enough and called htc, found out the phones are warrantied for a year and sent it in for repairs. took about 3 weeks and my phone was back, 100% fixed and cost me nothing out of pocket (well except the cost of shipping the phone to them). instead of fighting it, call htc......i was so glad when i got this problem fixed it was so damn annoying! good luck all
Thread moved to Q&A.
I had the same problem a few months back. It is certainly hardware. I had this problem before android was available on our hd2's. I task29'd it, flashed to stock rom, and reverted to stock spl. Nothing fixed it so I had to send it back to T-Mobile.

As a generally disclaimer, "random" issues can be the most difficult to solve as thre isnt an known reliable method to trigger the issue which makes troubleshooting much more difficult.
Nothing very technical was posted as not sure your technical ability to investigate issues with the device.
If you revert back to stock kernel and recovery and remove all 3rd party apps, there should be no random rebooting. If there is, it would point to a possible hardware issue.
There are many things which in theory can cause a random reboot. They range from poorly developed 3rd party apps to custom kernels/ROMs. The process can be very difficult to narrow down.
If you're technically inclined, after the reboot, you can grab the file /proc/last_kmsg and the last portion of the file should provide some kind of helpful insight. Should point to either the issue being kernel related or not kernel related which will at least eliminate one of the possible cuases.
Another approach is to revert back to stock and start installing 3rd party apps in sets. Once the reboot occurs, you've narrowed it down to a set of specific 3rd party apps.
Hope that helps!

did you try 2.17 on them?
My guess is if both are doing it gotta be a app you have running on both phones . Since if you rooted correctly and are flashing the proper way.

When you bought your phones online . Did you ask if they been overclocked some people spank there phones cook them then throw it up for sale cheap.
Ok, so here's the scoop.
Earlier today for no reason that I can pinpoint I lost all Cellular connectivity on my photon while at work. No calling, no 3G, etc. I figured it was just a hiccup or possibly that they where working on the towers in my area and that it would eventually just come back up.
That was over 12 hours ago, and I have already traveled from work, to home and still no change.
I began to think that maybe my PRL was out of date, so I flashed back to a blur based Rom that has worked for me in the past (I normally use CWM7.2 and moved to Imperium_Initiative_v1.0.5 to try and do this) and tried to initiate the update there.
Still, no results. Not only would the PRL & profile not update but I got a general "NETWORK_ERROR" every time I attempted to do so.
I'm getting a little desperate because I really need to have my phone active for work and other reasons.
I've already restored old NAND backups, restarted the phone numerous times, and so far nothing is working...
If it is indeed a PRL issue, is there a way to manually flash an updated version onto the phone?
Any help that anyone can offer is greatly appreciated!
-Timboman
P.S. The only major change that has been made to the phone recently was I purchased a new extended battery about a month back. It's been working great since I broke it in, and have no so much as flashed a new rom image since I got it. It's the Trexcell Motorola Photon 3570mah Extended Battery.
Well I decided to bite the bullet and do a full re-lock and stock re-flash and I now have gotten my signal back.
Still have no idea why it happened to begin with, but I have apparently solved my issue.
If anyone can give me a reason this might have happened then at least this topic can be of future use to someone else.

This happened to me once while on cm7, again, for no apparent reason. After being baffled for an hour i got pissed and went to bed thinking my radio died. Signal was back by morning. Id be willing to bet yours would have come back too. Pawn it off as a hiccup and keep flashin stuffs.

I was in the bathroom yesterday and my Evo 4g LTE started buzzing a lot. I had no idea what was going on, and the phone was just flashing screens. It was going between my homescreen, and a long-press on the home button(that shows all the screens together). At this point, I figured it was a hardware problem, and I still think it is. The problem is, my phone is unlocked, and it's running CM10 on it. I have no idea what I should do. It always has it's case on(otterbox), and I also have only dropped it a few times in the last month, from only about 2 feet high max. The last time I dropped it was a few nights ago. Once again, it just randomly started doing this. I tried flashing CM10 again, and it didn't help, it still acts like i'm pressing the home button non-stop, even in TWRP. I really need ALL the help I can get. I cannot afford to get a new phone.
Did you flash the stock rom, that would probably let you know if it a custom rom causing the problem? If it still does it, you might need to take it in to get looked at.
Take the case off and see what happens.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I took off the case, did not fix it. I flashed stock rom and it did not fix it. Where do I need to go to get it looked at? Sprint i'm assuming?
Yeah, make sure it's a corporate store that does repairs, don't go to some third party store, they normally aren't any help.

Okay, sorry it took me so long to reply. The phone might go a day and do the homescreen thing, but the next day it might work. It hasn't done it since about 2 pm yesterday and now it started up again. I also noticed that when I press on the right side of the screen, it makes a clicking noise. Can I get it repaired even though it's s-off, unlocked bootloader, and has a custom rom on it?
Hey guys,
I've tried searching everything I can think of, but have had no results and I'm hoping someone can help me out.
I recently broke the digitizer in my S4, and got it exchanged at Geek Squad since I have insurance through them. (Which is a joke by the way)
Now, since I've got the new S4, I've been having problems out of it. It's really just down to two major issues.
1. When I lock the screen and unlock it again, 80% of the time it freezes up and I can't unlock it or anything. The touchscreen becomes completely unresponsive.
2. My Wifi keeps kicking itself off, regardless of what network I'm on. I also have gone into the settings and have made it always on, so it shouldn't be doing that at all.
I thought that it might just be a bad OS or something, so I re flashed the stock ROM for it, and had the same problem. So then, I rooted and flashed it using a custom ROM, and STILL have the same problems.
Could it just be in the hardware? Apparently this isn't as common of an issue as I was hoping.

Hi, I've never heard of those problems before, but if the 100% stock wipe factory image isn't working out for you I am pretty sure it is a hardware issue. If this is a software issue, your phone would have been totally fine with a odin restore. (but then again..im a newbie soo yeah )

+1 on the hardware issue. Was your replacement phone from Geek Squad actually a new phone or was it reconditioned? Either way I would reflash the Stock OS, return it to Best Buy and try another replacement. It should not be locking up at the get-go upon receiving a replacement.
Edit: I went thru 6 replacement S4's with VZW before I got a genuine working phone. If you paid for the replacement insurance you are entitled to get a phone that "works" to your satisfaction.
Yeah, I figured that was most likely my only option. I was just hoping I didn't have to deal with Geek Squad anymore haha.
Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

NP, good luck :good:
They're called Geeks for a reason.........
Edit: I would hold off rooting or flashing any custom Rom's until you get a stable replacement running on Stock. Takes less time to switch out another replacement.
Does your screen become unresponsive only when your WiFi is on?
