[Q] Screen glitches with response - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I apologize in advance if this question is in the wrong place.
I am on Deck's 11-24 build from IRC and hoping that it fixes the problem I've been having.
Sometimes my phone will go crazy and the screen will start reacting as though some phantom is using it. The screens pan around, random apps will open, random buttons will be pressed, etc. Usually, I have to shut the scree off and wait a few seconds for it to go back to normal. If it isn't that happening, sometimes the screen becomes completely unresponsive.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues.
I am S-ON
Have been dirty flashing
Wasn't flashing the kernel of each new nightly
Have flashed (using Flash Image GUI) the kernel for TD 11-24 build

Yeah I have expierenced that myself and I'm on mean Rom 6.4

Dingdingding. Already got one replaced a few months ago but this one is showing symptoms now too. Easy way to know it is happening is to enable show touches in developer options.

I dont mean to extend this thread as to there is one, but mine happens randomly, home screen sometimes, play store grey screen... random.
Same issue here see it on a daily basis. I notice it on the stock messaging app and twitter but happens other places as well.
I have had the same issue while typing on stock sms and/or just typing in general. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens.

Ok lately I've been experiencing some strange thing's going on with my phone like it just going ham at times with the touch screen going crazy and pushing all sorts of bottoms while I have the keyboard on or openning apps while just on the home screen. I'm not sure what it is but I'd like to get to the bottom of this with some help. Thanks in a advance...

I've only really noticed that when the screen has any liquids on it. If it does that I just turn the screen off, wipe it off, and turn it back on. Besides that you could make a backup and try a new rom and/or keyboard to rule out any software problems.

Ok you may have a point. From the moment I bought it I have always had a screen protector on it but I recently took it off and it's been naked for a while. But I have noticed the same thing even with other roms. I was about to blame it on the KDDI Radio I put on it simply because this coincided with the time frame when I decided to do the update. Thank you for the response, I will put a screen on it and see if anything changes...

Screen sensor bug

Has anyone experienced issues with the screen sensor not responding well while on a call?
Sometimes if you lock the screen while on a call and you try to unlock it the screen with shut off as soon as you touch it and will remain on that behavior until the call is ended, therefore not letting you unlock the phone or perform any other activities on the phone.
Anyone?

Yes! It happens to me rather frequently. Thanks for starting this post. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

It's funny because this is the 2nd HTC phone that I can report with this bug. I had the Evo 4G LTE before this one and it suffered the same issue even after all official updates.
The only solution with that phone was to flash a custom ROM which was good, but up to now I'm still on the fence about rooting this one; stock on this phone is stable and bloatware is minimal, I haven't justified taking the plunge yet.

I'm with you there. I did root mine... but only for data restore purposes. It may sound crazy.. but I don't want SwiftKey to start over with learning my typing habits. Other than that, like you, this phone and my Nexus 4 are the only two phones that I have had no desire to install a custom ROM. Fingers crossed that there is a solution other than that.

Yes, happened with me quite a few times. Once a call is initiated (phone speaker on or off) and the screen goes black (due to proximity sensor), no amount of tinkering will bring it back until you press the power button which kills the call. It is damn annoying and am hoping there is a fix.
The phone is on 1.29 M7 TMobile ROM, rooted with S-OFF
I had that problem too on LG L7. Tried with various roms and nothing. But I fixed somehow with the app called "proximity actions". It lets you command your phone with hand suggestion via proximity sensor. I only installed it to check the hardware, wether the sensor works. I have no idea what happened, but it started to work again. The app somehow toggled the sensor and brought it back to life.

Not sure if all ROMs have the option but you can go in to the accessibility options and turn off power button ends call.

I've noticed this issue has significantly increased amongst other things like freezing since I unlocked my bootloader. :what:

Never once has this happened to me. Bone stock.
Guess that's another reason I don't trust "IMAROM CHEFS!" ROMs that are "cooked up" on some random internet user's computer.
Stock is fine these days, IMO. Outgrew the glitchy nature of kitchen ROMs and such.

Been using ROMs for years and I've hand,y ups and downs, I can't say I've had a horrible experience with any ROM I've used on any of my past phones. Now I do agree with you about the stability of stock ROMs these days and also the better specs of the phone. For instance I haven't rooted nor unlocked my phone because I personally feel that the delivered product is good and haven't felt the necessity to tinker with it. The issue described is with stock, not custom ROM.
With that said or you haven't had the scenario for it to happen or your just the lucky one....

[Q] Screen Problem: Top Not Responsive to Touch

Hi XDA! Noob to the rooting world. I bought a used ebay phone that was "glitching." It was rooted so I downloaded MeanBean to fix. It doesn't glitch or spaz out as much but the top of the screen, the 1/2 inch of screen below the "HTC" emblem, doesn't respond to touch at all. The whole screen freezes at times too until I turn the phone off and on a few times.
It used to respond every once in a while before MeanBean and when in "Safe Mode." Now I have to turn the phone horizontal to pull down the notification bar. Is this a software or hardware problem and anyone know of any fixes for the glitching and screen issues? Thanks in advance!
It has DirtyRacun. It is S-off Hboot 1.19
It has TWRP installed.
Great phone, just wish I could use the whole screen!
Sounds like an issue with the digitizer, most likely. You can replace it yourself if you're up to it.
im not sure it is a hardware issue
the phone has started glitching again and the screen freezes until I reboot or shut the screen off and back on. It used to do it and it went away but now it is back.

Make sure your drivers are up to date. You can download and install HTC Sync to get the latest drivers. Also, boot into the bootloader and connect your phone to your PC to load some additional drivers.

So I loaded a new sense 5 ROM and Android 4.3. The top 2 mm of the screen was still unresponsive most of the time. I still couldn't pull down the notification bar unless I tilted the screen horizontally. I then ran VipeRUU and set the phone back to sense 4 and android 4.1. I am in the same spot now, unresponsive top 2mm of screen. Is this a digitizer issue or software issue? I'm stumped...
Sounds like a digitizer issue to me.

Does your face push buttons?

More than any phone I had before, this phone uses my face to do random things. I'll hang up on people, open apps, turn on airplane mode, etc., all while I'm on a call! Anyone else have this issue?
I am having it too. It's extremely annoying. Random things pop up. Sometimes it's Facebook, and I wonder if my face "liked" someone's post. -_-

Not yet, no.
my proximity sensor randomly stops working which causes this to happen. it works again after a reboot.
Yeah, I've had that issue a few times. Some times it'll randomly have my screen turn on while I'm on the phone and I'll face touch all the things.
Same here. It drives me crazy! All too often my face hits the speaker button and about blows my eardrum out!

I havent had this happen. I did hear that the firmware 27 had this problem but they fix it in the 28.something build.
Never had this issue, running Trickdroid 5.6

hello
Thought it was just my face being a weirdo but yea it's happened to me a few times. usually a quick reboot fixes it. Though I suspect a background app is to blame when it does happen. Though it rarely does.

Yea happens a lot in my phone as well. I've actually stopped using the phone as is and only using BT or wired headsets....
