Hi everybody, I have a bit of a problem. I was rooted and unlocked running CM10.1 perfectly fine but with the minor bugs that come with Cyanogenmod, no biggie. Its not the first time ive been running custom ROMS, I unlocked/relocked and 2 times before that perfectly fine. I started noticing that while running cm10.1, I would touch one thing, and a bunch of other things get clicked on, and I couldn't back out of them, or press home. I have to lock the screen, then unlock it and it works, I thought it was just a bug. It got really annoying, so today I relocked and unrooted my phone back to stock. But it does the same thing. It will freeze constantly, touch screen calibration is off sometimes, and does things on its own now.... I cant take it to sprint because I dont have warranty, and my HTC warranty is voided because I unlocked it. Has anybody experianced the same thing? Any advice, fixes, solutions? It will do it about every 5 minutes or so. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Are you currently on a stock rom?

hmm, i think I might of figured it out, i take my phone with me when i shower, not literally with me in the shower, i set it down on the table counter top. But it gets really steamy in there, i think the steam could of got in the phone, and its drying out, probably explains the little bugs...maybe

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.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
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.
Just curious, since someone asked over in Q&A if S-On devices will still be supported, how many people are staying or not.
to me, the whole physically taking wires and jumping those pins is what turns me off to it.
i remember s-offing my inc, and just running that one click program...meh, if something like that comes along, i'll do it..but as for right now, i'm a bit weary of it
Yep, its a super easy, painless process. I have done it on 2 Rezounds so far, took me 2 tries on the first and I got it on the first on the second.
Yes, wasn't easy at first, just took patience & making sure the tiny pin connection actually got touched.
Do you still need to do the HTC dev unlock to get s off?

You have to be unlocked and rooted to do it, then once you s-off it will switch the bootloader back to locked.
Got it done. It wasn't nearly as hard as it was made out to be.
Did it Saturday night... Took me more time to back up my internal memory then anything. I had a spare SD card also.
Not yet.... waiting for a free block of time... perhaps this weekend
yup - took all of like 5 minutes - I used a paperclip wrapped with some electrical tape

I felt compelled to be free. I did s-off on both my phones. It feels great to nandroid back and forth now.

Yeah, it's pretty generous to call it circuitry in this instance! I mean, it is, technically you're completing a circuit.
Anyway, 90% uptake is pretty solid!
In all of my years using Android I have never seen a full on kernel panic dump screen. I saw it this morning while installing swype beta on my phone running jbsnow's jellybean port.
Should I return my phone for a new one?

I've had the phone since it came out and only seen it twice. I wouldn't worry about it... yet. See if it happens a lot in the coming days or before your unable to return in-store.

Yeah, I think a lot of us rooted users on custom ROM's have at least # it once. I've never heard of it being fatal or that anyone couldn't get the phone out of it. I know it's a scary SOB when it pops up though!

Jank4AU,
PM'd you, sir.
Happened to me when the phone was new all the time, including before I'd rooted it. Gradually happened less and less. Now I can't remember the last time it happened. A few weeks? Over a month? In any case, don't worry about it too much. Mine was the black kernel crash screen though. I think I've only had the yellow screen once.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I'm pretty sure it happens on that rom because of a glitch in the WiFi part of the kernel. When I was running it I just set the WiFi band to 2.4 only (instead of 5) which fixed it for me.

Happened to me once, scared the crap outta me. Rebooted and never saw it again.
I still can't figure out why the idiot that wrote that error message couldn't tell his up button from his down button.
I wouldn't worry about it. It should not affect anything. I will try to see what it is and fix it in the next version though.

That happens because we are using the n4 aboot. Our hardware differs from the n4 where our up is the opposite key of their up, so it gives that bug.

if it means anything, i got that screen whilst using TheBase.73
and thanks for the explanation.
The demi-god yellow screen? I've gotten that months before using a JB rom.
I've seen it twice, and they happened when I was playing Ingress on my phone while either using WiFi or GPS. I was either rooted+stock or running The Base.
I can honestly say I've never seen this. I got a black screen kernel panic from UVing too far on The Base but that's about it.

Did you find a ROM or fix that works with Ingress on this phone?
I've had it freak out while trying to drop an item or select a xmp to fire.
I usually play on another phone, but I have to send it in for repairs so my Optimus G is my only phone for a week or so and I'd love full functionality in the game.

so it looks like the device boots, its just something wrong with the display. If i turn it on, and wait, I can swipe up, (to unlock) then it will recognize the home button and other buttons at the bottom. I have managed to get the RUU to run its course, and that didn't help with anything. guess its fubar'd unless there are any additional recommendations

If its under warranty get a replacement. Looks like something went to poop with your device.

unfortunately its not under warranty any more. i just had it there because the speaker quality was horrible, and they wanted $300 just to fix the speaker. I dare not send it back for anything else. Just hoping to get it going before I had to resort to chucking it.

I noticed a section across my screen, approx 1/2 in tall, that I is not registering touches. I used ScreenTouchTest from the Play Store to test touches.I got it to go away for a little bit by pulling the battery a couple times but now it is persistent.I tried resetting my phone to factory settings and no luck. I am on stock ICS. Of course I don't have warranty, I was just curious if anyone else had this happen.

I'm 99.999999% sure it's a hardware problem. I had the same problem, and had to replace my phone. Unless you're willing to replace the touchscreen, I think it's unfixable.
