I just upgraded to TB today, and had to go to work before playing with it much. Now I'm home, and a stuck/dead pixel is driving me insane! It's in the middle of the screen, offset to the right a bit. I keep staring at it uncontrollably, and tried many times to wipe it away lol. Will I be able to replace the phone, or would I be better off returning it and just doing my upgrade again? I do not think it's acceptable for the value of the phone. Thanks for any input. This screwed up my rooting plans for now.. grrr.
Edit: I'm also having a hell of time trying to get the market to download apps, instead of auto failing immediately. Factory reset worked for a bit, but now I have tons of updates that won't download.. will not factory reset again.. I'm in a 3G only area.. it takes forever!! I'm coming from a DX.. so it's alot of apps I'm having trouble with.

You got a bad one. Take it back and exchange it for a new one.

Exchange it. It's a hardware issue and is covered by the warranty.

Thanks guys.. just needed reassurance. Hope my luck is better next time.

Try one of the pixel fix apps in the market. But you likely will have to return the device.
dead pixels can't be fixed unless they replace the screen, had the same issue with my 55 inch monitor, and they are replacing the entire led panel, just return it, you paid good money for it, everything should work 100%
I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice it, I'm just uber picky with my gadgets. It's really apparent on blue screens. The retailer I got it from is closed on Sundays.. so yet another day without rooting.. this blows lol

Smashed mine a long time ago and got a replacement; Droid Charge. Now I have a working TB but the digitizer is beyond gone. Is there anyway I can still play around with it without a digitizer/touchscreen?
if it boots then you could prob use adb to pull or push things but thats about all i think you could do.
Why not get a replacement digitizer and have a fully working tbolt?

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.

Yep, tried that too... well I went from stock to a rooted version of a more up to date stock ROM.

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.

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 unlocked my phone and then it went black and I could feel it pulse once a second. I took out the battery and put it back in and it still does the same thing.. I cant even boot it up...help plz

If it can't boot, call warranty.

Power button issue, had something similar. I was able to work it out, but if you have warranty, get them to take care of it.
I had to call at&t and use my insurance. I complained so much that they only made me pay $100 and I get another 12 month warranty....so im good...Thx for the responses

Had that happen to my first note, it did it on and off for a few weeks, then one night it wouldn't turn on anymore, just vibrate. Took it to the local store and luckily had 4 days left in the year warranty, took it to the support center and they gave me a replacement.
Almost got a note 2, guy grabbed on instead of a note and only noticed when the back cover didn't fit. Would of been awesome but I wouldbt of been able to keep it without telling them. Haha

I've tried every single thing I can, so has sprint. My downloads on my galaxy nexus are 1.65mbs while my evo is 10kbs. Its frustrating. Sprint tells me that all Evo LTE run in 1xrtt BUT their display model AND an employees phone both run on erphd (or whatever). All 3 of ours side by side and mine is stuck on 1x. I've got a replacement coming after arguing for 2 hours over how my phone is buggy as hell, sometimes the back key doesn't even register. If my replacement is buggy should I have them replace it too? Oh yea, the lady that took my phone apart put it glass down on a table and scratched the screen to hell. I'm pissed that they told me my phone and 10kbs was normal when every single sprint phone I use in the exact same area is pulling 1.5mbs. Any advice? Lol

That's the thread I used to begin with. Nothing works. Settings-about-network still shows 1xrtt. My replacement will be here tomorrow but I'm afraid it'll have even more bugs than this one. I'm a bit of a gamer and in my opinion this beat out the s3 but fell slightly short of the optimus g so this is my phone of choice but I need my 3g. If it has bugs tomorrow should I deal with it or make them replace it again?

Burn a Linux live cd and try to get s-off... I'm not sure if it's possible... Second option borrow a friend's pc and use windows

Well this phone runs excellent EXCEPT for reboots every 3-5 hours. Quick screen freeze then 10 second reboot then crash report. All is well for another 3-5 hours. Does it while its just sitting too. Never gets hot either.
