I have a Leedroid build on my phone but recently I am suspecting yet a new hardware problem on my phone. The cam have green lines on it attached photo. Yeah don't I look cute, but that aside. The next day it is fine again. Could it be just the rom or is it what I suspect a hardware failure... And it effects both front and back camera

Welcome to the Matrix.
You could try a different rom just to make sure it is hardware related.

It looks like some sort of camera failure to me. Seen some weird cams on the 3d coming back to the techs at Sprint where I worked.
Must have replaced at least 4 or 5 evo 3d cams with similar lines, colors. Does the actual display of cam look messed up or just the after shot it created? If it's both, hardware 100%
Try other roms?
Both :-\ but the weird part is that it seems tobe both front and back cam... And it is periodic ^_^ so I really can't tell whether it is hardware or software. Anyway I guess since it is a rooted phone they will blame software as they usually does. I can't understand why there is a warranty void if you root the phone.

Sprint doesn't care about root, but you are obviously GSM and on a different carrier, so you could unroot it before taking it in and play stupid. "What's this root people are talking about? "

Had this happen with another non HTC device... got it replace, happen to be hardware related.
I will send it fully rooted and make them prove that it is the software on the phone that has really done the damage. The burden of proving that the software has made these errors are on the company not the owner. Long shot but worth it, and maybe it will help others. Blaming software for everything wrong with the phone is getting retarded.

Hi all,
Couldn't find a thread about this, sorry if it exists.
My EVO 3D has been experiencing what can best be described as phantom touches. I leave the phone alone with the screen on and it moves the home screens in a jittery fashion or randomly presses the screen. Approx middle, slightly to the left just below the centre of the screen and also closer to the home/menu soft keys. It's not a permanent issue, but it does go absolutely "mental" at times making the phone unusable until it settles down.
It also interferes with the lock screen, playing havoc with the pattern unlock.
Tried all the usual... factory reset etc etc but to no avail.
Has anybody else come across this?

I've had mine do that albeit, rarely. He home screen goes sporadic or the app drawer scrolling is messed up.

It used to do that for me when I had it plugged in to my car.
Video record it! Then take it to the sprint store and say that you're scared of your phone and get a new one. If it can work for my neighbor, it can work for you! âīšâ
Mine does this horribly when my phone is in cold air. My last 3d also had this issue and it was replaced when installing a new digitizer did not help.
It's getting more frequent.
I'm in the UK.. I'd have to be REALLY scared of it to go to Sprint in the US

Lol Yeah, that would be a long trip. You ever thought about rooting it and installing a new ROM?
My Atrix does that when I set it down in certain surfaces, like a mattress out pillow, or carpet, but as long as I am touching the case of the phone, it doesn't do that.

I took the screen protector (Martin Fields) off and was trouble free for two days. I suspect that was coincidence though as it's now worse than it was prior to that.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Mine doesn't do that but there are times when I unlock it and it automagically goes to what ever app is in the lower right side of the screen. My wifes has started doing it also. Even replacements that I have gotten have done it.
i actually just had mine swapped out for the same reason.
did it on ICS, MIUI, and warm.
I say take a chance at running the newer OTA update combo pack that Xhausx put out. It does include some sorry of touch panel firmware update I believe. It's worth a shot just for the hell of it.

Likewise. After a month of having my Evo 3D, the screen would act possessed. No matter what I flashed or did, nothing would make the slightest difference. It got so bad that I ended up returning it.
OP, return it. It's a common issue with these phones.
SAME PROBLEM! i have flashed viper, synergy, olympus, warm, and more im sure! Same problem every time ! Please let me know if anyone finds a fix without returning the phone! THANK YOU!
It is a hardware problem, changing the ROM isn't going to help.
My d1 did the same thing after a year or so. It actually still works as long as you can keep the phone at a certain temp, but as soon as it warms up from use it goes back to it.
My girlfriends started doing that today
downloaded touchscreen tester from the market and what do you know digitizer is jacked some spots show as multitouch with only one finger
ok that helps. so, do i have to actually return the phone to fix the problem? or can i get a touchscreen tester and find the problem and fix it? or is that not even worth the trouble?
Thanks for the help
Oddly I just started encountering the same issue two days ago and now can barely use this phone.
Bit of an update.
I did S-On and so far haven't had the issue reappear. Obviously since it is an intermittent problem, it's not definitely gone.
I'll give it a day or so and report back.

+1 on this.
Now I know it's not me being crazy. I've always had random apps opening up after preforming an action even though I was sure I never touched that app.
I've searched, as I always do... I'm on complete stock so I'm not sure what the issue is. I took a 3d picture using the stock camera app and it showed in 3d. When I view the picture in the gallery, (its on 3d mode), it shows the two images overlayed and the screen doesn't turn into holographic mode. I have Instagram, pudding camera, and stock camera, but those shouldn't be affecting the gallery... Does anyone have some insight? This is my 3rd replacement so I'm not afraid of going to swap it again...
There was something important I should've added, but I don't remember what it was...
I remembered. It used to work fine.

Think it was a bug with most gingerbread roms, stock or not I had these problems. Usually a reboot fixed it, but it always came back eventually.
On another note since updating to ICS I have not seen this happen ever.
Thank gawd, was annoying as hell.

Cool. I'll just wait until ICS is released from Sprint next month. Thank you!

Do a factory reset, it will clear up any software issues, which seems to be your problem.
Whenever I had 3D issues a simple reboot usually fixed it. Often times this will fix many little android quirks.
This was actually the same issue I had with my second one. I was in the store two days in a row lol. I don't want to reset because I can't backup my data (yet... Once my factory warranty is up I'm modding ICS)

Just brought my white evo that had a manufacturer defect with the vibration function. And got it exchanged for another one and it came outta the box with hboot 1.12! I'm a very happy camper considering the first one I got came with hboot 1.15 outta the box. Now I just gotta root it and unlock the bootloader. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Well not so much broken as it was defective, had the phone vibration and haptic feedback turned on but it would never vibrate so I tried doing a factory reset and it didn't help. Took it in and sprint thought that a reset would do the trick but it didn't work. Either way I'm glad my phone wasn't working properly cuz now I have one with hboot 1.12

Hello, I was wondering if anybody could help me.
Recently the digitizer on my EVO 3D cracked, and I took it to a repair store in my local town centre. I got it back, and the LED touch lights at the bottom of the phone (Home, Menu, Back and Search) didn't light up anymore, and the camera became tempermental and decided when it wanted to work. When I opened it, it mostly hard reset the phone, or took me right back to the homescreen.
My mum took me back in, and we asked them to fix it, and they apologized and took it back and fixed it for free. I got it.back, and they claimed they could fix neither the lights, or the camera. I can live without the touch lights, but the camera now near enough refuses to work all together, only rarely will it actually load. I've tried using a different app to see if its a software issue, and the other app just freezes and crashes.
I've contacted HTC, and they said they'd arrange to collect it, and give me a quotation, but I'm concerned that, because when they replaced the digitizer they gave me the Sprint EVO 3D one and not the UK version, that HTC UK won't take it back because its voided the warranty...
Does anyone know of anything I could try to sort this problem myself? If not, I'll send my phone back to HTC for repair and see what happens...
Any help is greatly appreciated

Well if that store is the one who did all this to your phone, you should be taking it back to them and demand they fix it. It's their fault, they should fix it.
I did take it back to them. They couldn't do anything about it. They said there was nothing they could do about it.. :/

Well again, they broke it, they can fix it. Talk to a manager and demand it. You paid for a service that they messed up.
I think my evo ltes camera might be broken. Does anybody else have trouble getting pics to come out clear. Mine seems out of focus. Im waiting to replace it due to my otterbox screen protector. I dont want to dail in settings everytime i take a picture either. Ive read hundreds of reviews and its suppose to be a very good camera.

I you power off your phone then remove the plastic back cover and clean the camera glass lense. It might have dirt, finger prints/ smudge on to it which causes your phone not to auto-focus when taking pictures.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I took it to sprint and they cleaned it. I also hard reset it 2x. I think it might be back to normal now.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I seem to only have an issue if I zoom in on something. If I don't zoom, they look fine.
Thats because zooming a digital camera does nothing, you're better off just taking a full picture.

If I have just regular stock, I've only had it a week, and I don't know how to root or flash a rom or any of that stuff to a phone. So am I just out of luck, or Is there any way to fix these issues? I see that one person said they did a hardreset x2, but if I haven't done anything to the phone I'm guessing a reset wouldn't help me either?
I'm soooo disappointed, the camera is about 80% of the reason I upgraded to this pone. But my regular evo took better pictures very easily. I really wish I knew how to do all the stuff people talk about on these sites, but I'm just clueless when it comes to that.
If anyone has a suggestions I would be really grateful.

I can tell you guys that, unfortunately, I am 99% sure its a hardware issue...I've researched this relentlessly after I purchased my basically brand spanking new EvoLTE (less than 20 calls on it, but it already had a bad esn, relationship gone bad lol I guess)..I got it off craigslist..guy had the receipt..box, everything and when I ##786#'d it I confirmed everything he was telling me. I checked everything, one by one..speaker, mic, outside speaker, ports, bootloader, powered on off, finally the camera..pics and vids...everything worked perfectly.....I thought, I never thought to check the auto focus. Once I got home with it(I often take pics of text on the computer screen while working) I went to do this and to my shock the camera wouldn't focus in on text..Or anything that was within 4inches of the camera..I did four or five hard resets, searched endlessly for a reason or fix..tried every non stock app camera in the market..Nothing fixed it, and It still does it to this day.
I worked with at least ten EvoLTE's since then, I always check the auto focus on them (lol glutton for punishment I guess) because every one of them works perfectly. Yet you can find lots of people with auto focus issues on the web. I also have updated Roms, on mine (I'm currently back on ICS) nothing effected it, and the ones Ive seen that have worked perfectly were on ICS, JB, custom roms..no rhyme or reason, which is why I have to believe it's some kind of hardware issue with the auto focus on these cameras. Luckily, for me it only effects super up close photos(completely blurred), while any other photo comes out perfectly. I would of all ready replaced it otherwise.
