Might just be a defective digitizer, if your phone is still under warranty I would take it back ASAP

warranty is void
so there might be digitizer problem,changing it will help?because changing digitizer without warranty will cost some money,and i don't wanna waste money if the problem still appear after changing it..

If your warranty is void then I would check software issues first. Are you on stock or custom rom. Did you install any new apps just before it happened. It might be worth trying a factory reset to rule out software problems. Get multi touch tester from the market and see if it responds to touches.

at first I'm in stock rom,then after a month using i get some errors with the touch screen,it become slow and slightly unresponsive,so I decided to try custom rom with sense 5 and hope the problem will fix,everything seems fine touch screen is good but after few days using it my softkey not working,and the middle of the screen become unresponsive,I try to reinstall the custom rom but still not working,so I went back to stock using guide from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402578 since I lost my backup files,after that problems still there,softkey still not working and the unresponsive problem still appear,I factory reset the phone many times but not help,but then I accidentally drop the phone from a half meter height table after that accident my softkey working back normally I can use it again like usually,only the unresponsive touch screen in the middle of the screen still appear..weird isn't it?
I test with multitouch tester and yes the middle screen touch has error,if I move my finger from the top to the bottom it will skip the middle screen like it's not touchable,another question,did one x+ detect only 2 fingers on multitouch?cause multitouch tester show that I have 2 touch only,just wondering
for the record my phone have a slightly screen flex at the left and right bottom corner only if I press that side too hard,I realize this and never press them too hard again,is that screen flexing that cause the screen become unresponsive?
It's also possible that it might be a bad connection. Why not remove the screen and check the connectors

Iv seen that with the OG evo also, as well as my 3vo
Having the same problem. Probably will carry it in next week for replacement. Already took it in once and they said wait for a couple of weeks to see if HTC/Sprint release a software update. It's starting to get very annoying and unusable. Very much ruining the experience of having a powerful smartphone.
i have it too with my gsm version , the upper part of mine screen is sometimes not responsive

i wonder if this is related at all to the screen grounding issues which they originally had in the HTC EVO. the end result of the screen grounding issue was parts of the screen were unresposive...
i do remember they patched something in an update which fixed that issue.
i remember there was a test for the screen grounding issue but i barely remember how it worked. i'm sure there are older threads on it as it was a fairly big deal when the device first came out. the test had something to do with drawing lines or something on the screen?
might not be helfpul, but figured it was worth mentioning. i haven't had any issues on my evo 3d so its hard for me to troubleshoot and compare...
at least replacing the phone will be a decent solution until we can find out more about this issue ... sad it seems to be fairly common.
hi guys,
im having a problem with my evo 3d. it seems the lower part of the screen is not working. so i cannot unlock my phone now.
< 0 OK buttons are not working anymore but when i go to camera(no password required for some reason,) that part of the screen is working fine.
wanted to know how can i disable the password at least so i can use it and wanted to know if its a software or hardware problem
thanks

So is it just a strip of the screen?
If you really really wanna be able to get it unlocked, Download the correct version of clockwork mod for our phone one that's not touch, has to use the volume rockers and fresh install the rom, Or as a matter of fact, Just boot into whatever recovery you have and clear data/factoryreset, that'll get rid of your lock pin
Hello from me too!
I have a strip on my touch screen that doesn't work. It's right where the Search button and Install on Play Store is and Clear on the Phone notifications, too.
It had the stock rom, I have replaced the screen with the digitizer when it fell down. It worked after that. I had to unscrew the phone one more time because my LCD was touching the screen and the phone had gone mad. After that, and a couple of days later, I noticed that the strip didn't work anymore. Today I finally flashed a new rom (King Cobra 3d) and nothing's changed so I figured it might be a hardware problem...
What's your opinion?
Thank you!

ive had the top bar just under my notification bar non working for a few months now, and its starting to pi$$ me off
I've replaced my digitizer twice myself. I got a cheaper one the first time, and figure that's what I get for trying to go on the cheap. (I was out of warranty). Sorry to say it but it could be that again.
Sent from my shooter using xda app-developers app
I think I don't have a warranty because I've changed it myself. It's my fault...
I think I'll buy a new one... I unscrewed it a while ago so I could see if sth had been misplaced or if the digitizer had scratches or sth like that.
I saw that the ribbon's top had been ripped off right where it bends on top of the LCD... Don't know if that's the problem...
p.s. I live in Greece. My carrier is Cosmote. We don't have Sprint here...
Yep, if the ribbon cable is ripped, that would be your problem. Don't go too cheap on your replacement. Good luck!

The last one I got from Amazon is the one I'm using now (about a month old), and spent $20 US on it, which was NOT the cheapest of them. Not knowing the exchange rate right off hand, would venture to say the one you're speaking of is not a "cheap" one. So go for it. Just take your time replacing it and be careful with ALL the ribbon cables. Good luck!
Hi. I have a RELOCKED HTC EVO 3D with ghost touching, so warranty is voided. I want to repair it myself (repair at the service costs almost as a new phone). Now the question is: do I have to change the LCD, too? I found touchscreen and I think that's OK to replace and repair the ghosting effect, but I need some opinions. Thank you!
Your warranty is not gone! Unlock again and s-off with juopnutbear (wire trick),it is fairly easy, then after getting s-off, run the ruu, and run the flag to turn s-on. It will say locked, and there will be no traces of rooting.

I think it's to late for this...Oh man, I didn't knew that Now there's nothing I can do, but just to repair it myself.

That is what I also want to know. It started registering ghost touches about 8 months ago until today when they become so frequent to the faze that i cant use it anymore. Replacement of the digitizer is imminent. I saw this on ebay http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=271089461688. What did the trick for you?
I'm sorry to hear that. I sold that phone a while ago, after sending it in service and got my warranty voided (was RELOCKED).
I had two phones, the one I sold and another one I still have. This second one manifested ghost touch recently, but now I knew how to make it LOCKED, so was no problem for the service to repair it. In one month I sent the phone to warrany twice. My screen was replaced first time, then the screen again + battery. Waiting for the 3rd time.
It's my first HTC phone and I'm so dissapointed...
Anyway, that digitizer won't work for you. Digitizer and display are glued together, so you'll need to find digitizer+display, which cost a lot more.

You don't need to change display, only touchscreen. Touchscreen is your problem. I changed one, my self.
I have not found any GSM service that want to change only digitizer. Even HTC authorized service told me that I have to buy digitizer + display + speaker (for the 1st phone with the voided warranty), saying that they are in one piece.
Anyway, thanks for the info

Change it at your home, not in Service, only touchscreen. It's working.
I don't need to change it now because the phone with the voided warranty is sold and the one I have now it's OK for service in terms of warranty They already changed the touchscreen+display twice and battery once. I think they lose money with this phone
SOLVED
I think I've got a solution for ghost touches...I'm going to post it tonight if everything runs smooth just to be sure it does indeed fix my ghost touches...stay tuned

Ok so after 24 hours of testing I got ghost touches only 2 times.anyway my phone used to have ghost touches every like 2 min...
Solution: search for "pimp my rom" in the market.(it requires root access btw)
After you install it go to tweaks->touch screen and display and set min. Velocity to 2500 and max velocity to 4500. For your phone the values may differ.so feel free to test other values till you get the best results. Also max events per sec should be at 60. After ur done just apply your settings.top left check Mark.
If this didn't work it could be a hardware issue.but for me it did the trick.I still get some ghost touches so they are not gone forever but its way better now.
Hope this helps peeps.

Ghost touching is caused by a defective digitizer... They are not hard to replace... You just need a heatgun/blowdrier and mini screwdriver (comes with digitizer) and patience... I've replaced the digitizer on my girlfriend's Rezound and ghost touching went away 100%... Took about 30 minutes. Plenty of videos on YouTube showing how the process works. This isn't something to pay someone else to do, you can easily figure it out yourself. Just be careful with the digitizer. They're super thing and will break if you put too much pressure on them.
Hello Guys,
I have a problem with my HTC Amaze 4G phone and ı don't know how to solve.
The proble is this; the screen is displaying only artifacts, the phone is working on bakground, I can receive call and make call but I can't see what is displaying, only artifacts displayed. Sometimes when I push Power button, I can see the normal wallpaper as frozen, I push again and it turns to artifacts again.
You can see what seen on display attached.
I beg your help.

You can try to flash another rom or reflash your current one and if this doesn't solve your problem then it's most likely a hardware-related issue.

It seems I have a problem with my multitouch screen. I dont know if it's a factory fault or software related and if it can be fixed.
In the first picture you can see what happens if i'm holding 2 fingers on each side of the phone. The touchpoint sees that it's in the middle. The second image you can see where i'm holding my fingers and it's working correctly. This thing is bothering me like hell becouse i cant type with "two hands" if i'm typing faster the device will show me the letter between my fingers not the one that i'm pressing. Who is guilty for this, the screen or software?
Tried a factory reset with no luck. I guess it remains to be sent to warranty
I've noticed this with the smart iii its like not quite 2 touch more like 1.5 touch if your fingers are to close together on the screen the phone only registers one touch could be a faulty digitzer or crappy programming or generally a naff touch screen.
