Hey, I need some held with my phone.
My Evo 3D fell like one time too often to the ground :\
Now it's sometimes touching itself.
There are a lot of guides/tutorials for replacing the touchscreen/lcd , but I'm not sure what exactly may be the problem ?
The touchscreen or the lcd ? Or is it broken anyway ?
best regards :fingers-crossed:

The thread name is a little off putting..as for your question your digitizer is probably going out. It's a very common issue with the 3vo

try a touch test app and see where the issue is on the screen.
100% is the touch screen and unfortunately needs to be replaced.

Is it occurring all the times or only when you keep the phone on charge with a wall mount charger. I am having same kind of issue, which happens with wall charger attached and only with a specific charger . when i tried with a different charger issue is not there.

The evo 3d has a poor digitizer. At first I only had issues with sense based roms (random touches) later it was acting up on aosp, then it even started hapoening in the recovery. I could usually turn screen off and back on then be ok for a short period. To fix the issue you need to replace the digitizer (since prices are cheap I would order the whole front assembly).

Good eveneing,
Have you tried switching keyboards to see if its the keyboard acting up?
I use swiftkey and sometimes random keys wont want to work and it will go crazy but it goes back to normal after a while.
Let me know.

Every time I buy screen protectors I buy a couple of them because I know the first one will never come out perfect. Btw if you are interested in screen protectors, they are super cheap on ebay. But then again so is anything small like that. Ebays your best friend if you have patience.

sprint store by me only $10 for 3 covers and i get a discount because of my wife ad where she works i think im good lol
dial *#*#3424#*#*
Run the line drawing test.. that should help u find out if u have a bad screen
ya i have tried swiftkey as my keyboard and it still acts up sometimes and the only way it stops is for me to turn the screen off and wait a few minutes or restart the phone
What kernel are you running ??

My previous evo3d had the exact same issue. It wasn't consistent but sometimes just turning the screen on I could see the unlock ring going nuts. So would the keyboard or if I opened up dialer it would call one of my listed contacts. I would battery pull to make it stop.
I took it to the sprint store and they replaced it and acknowledged it was defective. It happened on any ROM.

for those of you who ended up taking it into a sprint store. how did this exactly work? how long have you had your phone? did you need to have insurance on the phone? did they charge you the deductable?
did you put stock rom back on it before bringing it in?
i've been looking around for answers and it seems that most ppl find that it's a hardware issue.
thx!
I just bought a archos 101 g9 when it was on sale on woot last week and so far it is working pretty good, however I have an annoying problem with it.
If it has been sleeping for over a few minutes (regular sleep, not the deep sleep) and I wake it back up the touch screen goes crazy. The bottom left corner keeps detecting a touch event. It will cycle from multiple on/off touches a second to one on/off every few seconds. If I rotate the tablet to portrait, it will start scrolling the screen none stop to the left. So far the only fix is to do a reboot.
It does not happen every time, just occasionally when I wake it up from sleep.
Today i got a case for it, and whenever it is in the case, the touch screen goes crazy. Same touch events in that same area.
I am guessing something is wrong with the digitizer. Anyone else seen this problem before?
Have the same problem, and as I've read on xda and archosfans forums, this isn't an uncommon issue. We'll just have to wait for a firmware update, as rebooting seems to fix it, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.

I have exactly the same problems.
@ARCHOS: PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS BUG !
Sensitive Touch
I have similar problems with the touchscreen. If I'm holding it with one hand by a corner, it detects touch. The rest of the time it is a little jittery and releases or double taps in games. It's still not a deal breaker, though.
I hope we don't have to swap digitizers to fix it.
Hi !

I'll give that a try and see if that works. I just got a case and as soon as it is in the case it is even worse.
EDIT: I installed a calibration app on xda and it really made it worse!
What app are you using to calibrate it?
I have a similar issue sometimes.
For me the fix is simply to clean the screen.
The strange thing is, it happens even when the screen doesn't appear to be especially dirty but I put the tablet to sleep, give the screen a serious clean with a microfibre cloth and the touchscreen issues vanish.
Could be a different issue to what you guys are having but the symptoms are the same and it's an easy 'fix' to try.
Hope it helps.

Thanks, I had not noticed that area in the settings before. Recalibrating it in the cover has helped a lot.
I pretty much had this since day 1......
The current state is ; it doesn't work at all then all of a sudden It will pop back into life and then pretty much go "mental" as already described, I also found it reacts poorly to minor temperature variations, i.e going from outside to inside and general day to day travelling. Recalibrating used to "help" but now has no effect.
From watching the debug logs part of me thinks it's a bit of both, hardware and software ( just a hunch ) I noticed the driver fail to get a "ping" response from the hardware a couple of times.
I've pratically given up on it myself and plugged a keyboard and mouse in via a hub on the full size usb...... The hub has now stopped working for some reason , I'm now on a OTG Keyboard with a Virtual Mouse Driver using the numeric keypad and some adb input trickery ,
I've got another touch screen/digitizer to plug in, just not got round to putting it in yet and a little part of me is starting to enjoy finding more elaborate ways of interacting with the device... :laugh:
Does anyone know who the OEM of the digitizer Unit is? My previous investigation led me to china but information seems to be thin on the ground with this one

Same problem and even managed a RMA from ARCHOS. Thing is your OC edition fixed it for me.
Has anyone notice the L button doesn't work every time you press it? I called verizon they said it's a known issue. my white n2 worked perfect. Now the grey one has that problem.. Press on the L key real fast and u will see what I mean . it doesn't register every time. I don't have to do it real fast for it not to work on mine.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
So this is a wierd situation for me. My old Thunderbolt had this exact same problem, certain keys would not register most of the time, and I'm pretty darn sure L was one of them. When I downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterypoweredgames.mtvistest&hl=en and tried pressing on the screen where my L key generally is, I could see what was going on. Something was wrong with the digitizer or how the software was interpreting the input.
Now this is where I got scared. You are not the first person to talk about this problem with the Note 2, and when I tried it after reading the first post a few weeks ago, I too was having the problem. It was about in the same spot as the L key. And sure enough when I opened up the touch visible app and checked that spot there was something wrong. There was like a dead spot in the shape of a circle in that area. Now I don't know what happened to it, but that was on stock unrooted. Once I unlocked and installed Jelly'Beans' the problem went away and I haven't had it since... knock on wood.
If it's software then whatever, software can be fixed easily. Hardware though.... ugh I do not want to replace this thing.
Hmmm I hope I dont have this problem, that exact thing happened on my thunderbolt also and drove me nuts it just started one day always had to use in landscape thats why I got the note 2...hopefully its just some sorta software issue

Actually I thought I messed up the first one, there was dust under it and I took it back off by prying instead of taking the phone apart. It also worked if I rotated the phone 180 degrees

I noticed the same thing with my Thunderbolt. If I put the phone in landscape those dead spots worked just fine using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterypoweredgames.mtvistest&hl=en to see if the screen was registering. This lead me to believe it was a software issue, and it unfortunately was never resolved.
Thankfully though I am not on the Note 2 and am not experiencing and screen dead spots, yet (knock on wood)

Just out of curiosity...are any of you using the Otterbox Defender? I have the dysfunctional 'L' key, and I think it's because the screen protector built into the case is raised at the edge of the screen. When I take it out of the case, I never get the 'L' key problem. Oh, and also the backspace key as you've noted. LOL I'm just glad I'm not alone.
Hello, I want your help to fix my xperia go touchscreen problem. Well, Ive searched the similar problem on the forum but what I found is about "touchscreen not working" only.. was, it's very easy to text and slide trough the screens without any "not so responsive screen".. after few months my xgo became less sensitive like before, when I tried to type as fast as usual. The screen cant detect my touch.. I compared with my friend's xgo and it is easier to text on his xgo.. its because I flashed wrong rom? I flashed one roms so far (superJB and currently back on stock with phantom 1.0.9 kernel) thanks.
Xgo .100 JB with UBL.
Open your device's build.prop using any text editor and check
ro.sf.lcd_density=??
Compare its value with your friend's xperia go and edit it accordingly. After you've done with editing, restart your device.
Check screenshot in the attachment.
Note: Do not put value similar to that of screenshot. It is just for your reference.
If I helped you then press Thank you.

My Xperia Go has the exact same problem recently. It just started happening a few days ago and nothing has changed on the device (software etc). I used to be able to text VERY fast but now it sometimes takes a few pushes of the keys for the device to recognise my touch. I can't believe it is anything in the build.prop as this would have suddenly changed right? MY LCD density there is set to 160 (which is the same as default).
Any help appreciated...
EDIT - I also noticed that since my touchscreen has become un-responsive I had got battery drain issues. The last 2 nights I have gone to sleep and when I have woken up my battery is almost dead... hmmm

I get this issue too since i accidently drop it. But when i try to testing games and the phone getting heat up and now its more sensitive than before. Maybe not as sensitive as back there at GB but its better now. Almost as sensitive as when i try using JB at 1st time i think.
Oh yeah.. i even already try to open it before to check if the connector are losen or something like that with no result. And already prepare to changing my touchscreen but i think its not necesary now. Hope this help

Nice... because i am planning to replace my digitizer by my self too when i got my digitizer spare . Just need to know what the other things i would need to change it perfectly (Make sure my XGO still have water resistant capability). Sooo... i would appreciate if u could reporting back when you done it .
Same problem.. My phone is not sensitive as usual.. When typing and gaming, it is really annoying.. :'(
How much is the digitizer for Xperia U?
I didn't do nothing and the phone just became not sensitive to touch.. Sliding is good but when I press 3 times to screen.. Only 2 times approx is known to touch..
Help me out ? Only way is change digitizer?
Just make sure u didnt get touchscreen issue from lag. I use custom rom and the touchscreen is feel better, but some area still hard to use because mine is defect already. U could try search on google for ur digitizer price .

Yesterday I purchased this awesome phablet but I found few bugs.
I already updated to 14.1.B.1.510
1) screen of death -2 times.(volume down + power key help me to reboot)
2) Touch response during charging is very weird..
3) I never saw such a ugly camera.
So I Want To Know Should I Replace It OR its software fault
54 views but no response. Friend please let me know this is hardware fault or software fault.
When I put my mobile on charging screen touch becomes less responsive.
Anyone facing this problem
Please reply me it's very costly mobile...
And is there any permanent solution for SOD.( screen of death)
1. Try ticking the optimized backlight setting, or turn off adaptive brigthness, or factory reset, or repair via pcc. Or claim warranty.
2. No not for me, still sensitive enough I don't see noticable difference when charging. Try charging it in different place (other than your home or something) or try using another charger.
3. Yes, downright ugly.

From the first day it was reported no one truly knows whether it was software or hardware. Firmware update seems to make a lot of reports die down, but not all - making it likely to be software. The trigger seems random and varying it suggests it could be hardware for some.
Hell, no one knows. I never had sod in my old fw (461 and 475, but I used it only for a very short time) but on 510 (wiped clean) I do experience occasional "fake death" issue, but I only need to press the power button two times max to wake up the device. So well, maybe its not even sod.

My previous phone was huawei with amoled, and the sensitivity while charging was very bad. Turns out every device was like that. My zu isn't, clearly. Wonder if the OP's case is really that bad.

I currently use the Galaxy Note 1 running on Jellybeer (custom ROM) and will be going for the Ultra LTE (100% sure no backing out.. lol)
2. Weird touch behavior while charging is present on the Galaxy Note.. I am using my Original charger + Cable and I notice that it is not really sensitive whenever I use it while plugged in.. Worst is at the middle and gets better as you go out to the edge of the screen. (problem gets amplified if I get into skin contact with anything that has direct contact with the ground)
I suggest trying out a different cable or socket as it seems like your body and the charger gets grounded to earth somewhat.
Try using your Ultra while touching the wall or standing barefoot on cement and see if it gets worse..
