Hi,
I just got an EVO 3D today as a replacement for my old phone that broke. I noticed that the touch screen records some of my touch inputs a bit to the left. So when I touch backspace, it actually types 'm' and when I try to touch p it registers as o. I don't want to go to the trouble of going back to the sprint store, so would calibration.ini work still on ics?
Yeah, you should be able to go into settings under display and recaliberate your screen
Mine does the EXACT same thing. I rarely can type a p to save my life (although it is more tolerable using Swype). It seems like the right 5% of my screen is unresponsive.
I couldn't find any calibration under Display in settings (I'm running a sense 3.6 custom Rom). Where exactly is it?
I'm afraid my digitizer is messed up, but I don't get the craziness of ghost presses and such. But this issue happens for me on every Rom so I'm leaning toward a hardware issue.
Any help would be appreciated. :thumbup:

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
Big up to SYNERGY ROMS.....

So I made the jump from Android (Nexus One) to the Radar and I really like it so far!
I do, however, have an issue with the phone that I am wondering if anyone else has noticed.
I have noticed that sometimes when I go to touch a tile(or other UI object)...if I quickly touch it, it seems that the screen doesn't always detect my touch. Sometimes I'll even hit it a couple of times before it responds.
The behavior is inconsistent though. After it smartens up and responds to my touch, then it seems to detect it fine. It's squirrelly and a little disconcerting.
I also think that the region of the screen might have something to do with it. The tile 2nd from the top on the home screen ("messaging" in my case) seems particularly susceptible to this problem.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm a little paranoid because I bought this phone "new" from someone on CL and when I took it home I realized it was a refurbished model.
I had this problem when I had my 7 Pro. After a while it got worse, as I had to put the phone on standby and then turn it on again to be able to use the screen. I sent it in to HTC for repair, and they swapped the entire front panel with a new one.
Im having the same problem with my sprint arrive I think the problem is related to what is in this thread:

My evo 4g lte has been wonderful with MeanROM. I have noticed one peculiar thing with the capacitive touch screen. When I brush my finger slightly above the panel and not touching it, functions activate. Or sometimes when I'm entering data I'll make a motion toward the screen but not touch it and it triggers. This is disconcerting because I'm afraid that I'll dial out inadvertently or save any entry when I'm not intending to. Have any of you noticed this same behavior? Is there something wrong with my touch screen? Also, this behavior exhibited itself even when the ROM was stock.
I tried doing the recalibration on the keyboard but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Jon

its normal. happens on mine and my original evo. these screens are crazy sensitive. just gotta get used to it
You obviously have some psychic powers!!
It's because the screen and most touchscreen these days are capacitive. They rely on electrical impulses that the body naturally gives out therefore you can be close to the screen and without touching it, it'll register the touch
Any help much appreciated....I have an issue with my screen flickering, dimming very faint and going black when i touch my screen. sometimes my screen will go black for long periods of time and phone is practically useless. This is not an issue of just a slight flicker on light colored screens that I have read other people describe. The screen does not always do this but is definitely getting more frequent. The flickering/dimming happens when I touch screen and especially when I touch it with more pressure. It also seems to be more sensitive on the bottom half of the screen.
I consider myself as the "scientific type" and have been testing many different scenarios trying to find a rhyme or reason to this happening. The only thing I have found is that if I keep my phone out of my pocket the problem seem to not happen. Then I can put my phone in my pocket for as little as 5 minutes and my screen could be messed up for hours. Everything else about phone seems to work great.
At first I was thinking this was a software issue but now I am leaning towards hardware? I am rooted, unlocked with s-on and cannot send back for warranty. I was running mean Rom for many versions and have also gone back to stock rom and stock kernel and experience same problem. Many reboots and clean installs too. I have also taken phone apart and reconnected all ribbon cables hoping there was a bad connection.
My Evo lte is only 4 months old and has never been dropped nor has it ever been wet. There are no scratches on screen and has been in otter box since the phone was brand new. I am running out of ideas and am I dire need for advice.
Thanks,
Mike
Has anyone else had issues with their back light faulting? I've searched and have seen that other sprint evo lte users have had issues with screen flickering, but my problem seems to be more serious that that. when i wake up in the morning the screen is blank. thank god i have a custrom rom installed and can manually mess with the status bar slider to get the backlight to turn back on. It just needs to be tweaked here and there. the backlight seems to only like to work on full brightness, if not, it will flicker like crazy. if i press with more pressure on certain parts of the screen the backlight turns off completely until i remove my finger. I dont think its a proximity issue since it'll just flicker sitting on a desk. Do I need to replace the screen? is this worth it? i havent dropped to phone or anything for this to default. I can upload a video later. gonna use my OG evo for that which is still kicken by the way
I realize this thread is incredibly old, but did you ever find a solution to the flickering problem? I just started seeing the exact same behavior, including the screen going dark when putting pressure on certain areas of the screen.
Thanks!
I have a PJ75100 doing this, but the screen does not function at all. I get the orange/green light while charging, and if I power it on it acts as if it's doing it's regular startup, but nothing shows on screen.
I did update the stock firmware with the latest release ruu, but still no screen.
I'd really like to get this one going as it's not the normal Jewel, it's the white and silver one, and my girlfriend wants it to replace her iPhone 5c.
