Yesterday my girlfriend woke up and tried turning on her Evo and the capacitive buttons came on but the screen would not. She noticed the phone was VERY hot also. She did a battery pull and same thing, the phone booted up but the LCD was just completely black. I had MeanROM flashed on there and I'm afraid to take it to Sprint to see if they will do a $35 LCD swap. What do you guys think I should do?
Note: She's going to get the Evo 4G LTE next month so it's not a huge deal, but we were hoping to make up the cost by selling the 3D.

I got my Evo 3D on the 24th and loved it. Untill yesterday when I pulled it out of my pocket and hit the power button to turn the screen on nothing happend... Just a black blank screen. I simulated the motions on the screen to unlock it and pressed buttons and could that the phone was doing what it should be doing for where I was pressing but nothing would display. Pulled the battery out a few times and restarted it and still wouldnt display anything. Calls went through could hear texts coming in but no screen display no matter what. Went to the sprint store where I purchased it and they did a quick exchange. Now today I pulled the phone out of my pocket and SAME THING screen is blank and black but the phone is all working just not the display. I droped it off again at the sprint store, this time they have tech's on duty to look at/repair the phone so they said come back in an hour after they open it up. I know for FACT it did not get droped/wet/magnet or anything that you might think could ruin electronics. Anybody else have this happen? I searched the internet and have not seen any reports of this problem but for it to happen to 2 phones in 24hrs is just craziness.

I just bought this EVO 3D and sometimes the touch screen becomes unresponsive and I must turn the screen off and back on to get it to work again. After I do that the screen works fine until it happens again at random times. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am on a fresh install using the latest RUU 2.08.651.2, all stock and not rooted. I have no other problems with the touch screen other then having to cycle the screen on and off once in a while. I am hoping this is a stock rom issue and not a hardware problem.
That happen to me but is not the screen is the htc sense...the issue went away with the wtsb rom....

My EVO 3D (stock/unroot) top half screen intermittent unresponsive.
And sometimes can scroll up in the menu, but can't scroll down at all.
Contacted HTC email support, and followed the guide to hard reset the phone, but problem starts happening within 24 hours without any other apps installed.

I had dead pixels had to return Phone now on new hboot good luck
I'm thinking my EVO 3D might have an issue like the EVO 4G. I went ahead and unlocked my phone then flashed CM7 alpha. With CM7 it also stopped responding at random times. I also noticed if I hold the phone with my hand wrapped firmly around it the issue will not happen. Last night I used the phone for over an hour straight without having to cycle the screen on and off. Today it happen 6 out 10 times I used my today at work without holding it firmly.
Or maybe I just have a bad digitizer?
I've had this too after flashing a new rom. I'd have to turn the screen off and back on again to fix. I'm not sure if there is a permanent fix at all. Been trying to find one.
What is driving me crazy is I can't figure out if I should just go ahead a replace the digitizer or is it software/firmware related. It seems to be app specific and its always the same spots on specific apps that don't work. Sometimes the phone will work normally depending on how I hold it. Also games do not seem to be affected and pulling down the status bar usually always causes the screen to not respond to touch. How can the screen recognize my touch in 1 app but not recognize the same spot in another app? If anyone has dealt with this before could you please advise me on what to do, thank you.
I am having the exact same problem and my phone is now getting to the point where it is unusable. I took it in to sprint and said listen this isnt just a software thing my touch screen doesnt work. so i left it there for 3 hours to come back and them say... oh it was a software thing we did a hard reset and its fine. and then an hour later it started happening i dont know what to do sprint wont fix it and i have all the insurance and protection plans. I feel like I was railroaded on this pos phone!

Def. Software related, a ported swype keyboard on miui wouldn't work for me, would show up just couldn't use half the bottons, have you calibrated the touch screen any issues with that?

Nevermind, link is down.
I took it into sprint because of the same problem about a quarter of the bottom screen would not respond I didn't have insurance, I did have to unroot it before I took it in, but they swapped it out with no hassle.
They said I was the 3rd person with the same issue? Could be a HTC problem? But my new EVO 3D is running infected eternity ROM no problem

yesterday my phone touch screen was working fine. Today when i woke up my screen was acting up.
what i have noticed my touch screen works but certain part of the screen will not response. When i am typing my touch screen will not reconice me touching the letters T,G,V and this is on portrate mode. i can hit the space bar and it reconizes it. whats funny is that when i put my phone on land scape mode the same letters will not work.
what i have tried.........
remove my screen protector.......
0:restarted my phone
1:format the sd card
2:cleared the cache partition
3:did hard reset.
flash another rom.....miui, ICS, Stock.......
my phone was in room temperaturethe whole time no extreme cold nor moisture.
i know many will say to do a search on the forum to solve my problemes but its kinda weird that the same letters will not work on land scape nor portrate mode.... i wonder if its software.
If the same letters do not work in portrait and landscape its probably software. Try flashing a different ROM.

Digitizer.
Download multitouch visible apk from the market and see if your getting dead spots on your digitizer.

It definitely is the digitizer. Mine slowly died on me and got to a point where I wouldn't even touch it and it would register movement on the screen.
Evo3D.
Same w mine, started around Christmas.... They blamed software and updated me to 2.08 / hboot 1.5 and then said "well, I guess it needs to be replaced" and I'm still stuck w 1.5..... But w flash image GUI I dont have any issues....

I'm getting touch screen problems with nearly every game I try :/
works for a little while, then goes to pot.
guess i'm filling out the return form for asda tonight :/
such a shame for such a promising phone with powerful adreno 220 gpu chip, but plauged by low fps and touch screen problems in games.. i'm nearly positive it's just poor GSM software from HTC causing the problems.
100% Digitizer
If you have Asurion insurance through sprint I think it was $100.00 or some **** like that to have mine replaced. Yeah, I know whats the point of insurance.
Ebay like $35.00. If you do it yourself what no one else will tell you or show you on the Youtube videos is the fact that when you open up your phone you MUST have a ground strap connected to you to discharge static electricity. You run a high chance of jacking up your LCD/TFT in winter months without one. I learned the hard way.
A word of warning: Do not sit in a fluffy recliner while doing this. Do not get up and walk around your carpeted house and pick the phone up once open.
I never had to pay $100 through assurion....Sprint swapped it out for me under TEP

I Have An Evo 3D that a friend gave me and I don't know what to do with it. the phone boots up and the lights come on and everything except the LCD. If i hold a flashlight to it i can see the screen is working, but i don't want to spend 40$ for a new LCD if the back-light problem is on the phone and not the LCD screen. I've been able to boot it into the Recovery (BTW it is not rooted yet) and Wiped all the information on it and i even used the RUU for the 3D and i had no luck.
Any Ideas Would Be Greatly Appreciated, Thanks!
Hi there - I am wondering if I can get some help here.
I had an old working HTC Evo 3D and I use it as a spare phone during travel to use prepaid SIM cards. I wanted to change the complete housing of Evo 3d and purchased a front, middle & back frame from online OEM vendors. As a newbie, I was so excited and started to disassemble the phone and to put into the new housing. All went well till I started to take the LCD and digitizer from the old housing. I made a mistake and ripped the flex cable of the digitizer. I felt very bad and then I decided that I need to order a new digitizer online.
I continued to reassemble the phone with the new housing till I receive my new digitizer. I made sure that I kept the sticky tape in the front housing intact so its easy to take it again. I completed the assembling and when I turned on the phone the LCD was displaying white and black dots like grains. However, I could hear the HTC boot sound the “Quietly Brilliant” sound. At this point, I thought I have damaged the LCD too.
Today, I tired to switch again, I dont see the phone booting-up or hear the boot-up sound or see the white and black grain screen. When I charge the phone, I see the red LED light and then after some time it turns green. I tried all type of resets like power+volume buttons, power+camera button, long press power button. However, I dont think anything is happening.
Now, I am worried if the problem is now with the display or I damaged the motherboard. Does anyone know if the phone wont start if there is a damage to the LCD/digitzer? I am just waiting to know what might be the problem before ordering LCD/digitizer. I am unable to check which part is damaged now.
Thanks in advance!
