Sometimes if I double tap to turn the screen on, it doesn't turn on. I have to try a few times. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks.
Mine seems to be pretty reliable. It takes some practice, dont do it to fast or slow. Eventually you will get the hang of it.
HTC One M7?
This subforum is for the t-mobile HTC One original. If it is, can you tell me what app you are using for the double tap of the screen because I thought the original HTC One didn't have it in the hardware.
Just in case, here is the HTC One M8 subforum:

So I made the jump from Android (Nexus One) to the Radar and I really like it so far!
I do, however, have an issue with the phone that I am wondering if anyone else has noticed.
I have noticed that sometimes when I go to touch a tile(or other UI object)...if I quickly touch it, it seems that the screen doesn't always detect my touch. Sometimes I'll even hit it a couple of times before it responds.
The behavior is inconsistent though. After it smartens up and responds to my touch, then it seems to detect it fine. It's squirrelly and a little disconcerting.
I also think that the region of the screen might have something to do with it. The tile 2nd from the top on the home screen ("messaging" in my case) seems particularly susceptible to this problem.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm a little paranoid because I bought this phone "new" from someone on CL and when I took it home I realized it was a refurbished model.
I had this problem when I had my 7 Pro. After a while it got worse, as I had to put the phone on standby and then turn it on again to be able to use the screen. I sent it in to HTC for repair, and they swapped the entire front panel with a new one.
Im having the same problem with my sprint arrive I think the problem is related to what is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239238&page=7
but I still cant seem to get it to work
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but I find it rather strange. What happens is when I'm talking to someone on the phone, and I hit the internet app to try to access the internet while talking to them while not connected to wifi, the screen will turn off. (Because, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe with Sprints new network/with the new HTC LTE we can use data while making a phone call with Sprint.) The phone call continues no problem. Then I hit the power button to wake up the phone. The screen turns back on, but I can't pull up the ring to unlock the phone. If I touch the screen anywhere or any of the buttons it turns the screen back off. As a result, I have to wait until the other person hangs up on me or I have to force shutdown my phone in order to get back into it. I have no clue what is causing this or what I should try to fix it. I'll probably switch to a different rom soon enough which may fix my problem. But I was curious if anyone else is having this problem or if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks.
I have the HTC EVO LTE. Default rom and everything. It is rooted and unlocked.
Do you have a screen protector? Sounds like its messing with your proximity sensor which is a known and common issue.
Either cut out the proximity area on the protector, or apply a different brand. Zagg HD's are most notorious for this.
If you don't have a screen protector then you've got issues.
That was my first guess, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem because it only happens when I try to open the internet when talking on the phone. If I never try to open the internet I can turn my screen off, open apps, do what ever while I'm on the phone without any problems.
For what every reason, the problem is centered around trying to open the internet using data while talking on the phone. I'm not sure what is causing this. Let me know if anyone else has any other suggestions. Thanks.
I figured out the problem. I went to a sprint store and got it checked out to confirm my idea with 10 other HTC EVO LTE phones. Apparently, the culprit is the light sensor doesn't work correctly. If the phone is in a dark area, the light sensor gets confused and causes this problem. However, one difference is that some of the phones remained permanently locked after the screen turned on the first time never allowing the user to get back into the phone until the other person hangs up the phone, while other HTC EVO LTE phones unlocked an let the user back in after it is introduced to a well let area. As a result, I am not currently aware of any firmware updates to fix this problem. However, hopefully HTC will learn about this problem and create a patch to fix this light sensor.
I've got a recurrent problem with my Desire X which seems to have two parts, and doesn't seem to correlate with any other post that I've found;
- quite often when the screen is asleep, when I press the power button to wake it the screen doesn't come back; I get the bottom capacitive buttons lighting up, but no screen. Hitting power again turns off the lights, sometimes I can toggle it on and off a few times and it comes back (combined with swiping the screen possibly), but other times no matter what I do I can't get it to wake the screen and I have to resort to pulling the battery. Also doesn't help to plug in power. NB: yes battery is always at least 60% charged minimum
- other times when the screen is on the brightness/display goes into a build-up loop and washes out the screen, sometimes strobing, sometimes only leaving streaks of colour. Sometimes toggling the screen on and off via the power button works, sometimes it doesn't. I use Auto-brightness, but I have experimented with full- and half-brightness and it hasn't made a difference, so doesn't seem to be sensor-related.
I thought I'd hold out to see if the OTA JB update fixed it, but it doesn't look like that's going to appear here anytime soon.
Any thoughts? I've kept it relatively stock.
A small video ? Its a hardware fault anyways. Did it fell down ?

I'd post a video, but it always seems to happen when I don't have another device handy.
It hasn't had any bad knocks, only ever typical day-to-day bumps; I'm very careful with my phones. Does it sound like a specific known hardware fault?
Stock ROM, recovery, etc? Or any custom one?
Completely stock, not rooted, only some apps and widgets added, nothing removed.
Is the phone on warranty? Maybe it's hardware stuff and it will cost more than one headache.

Definitely hardware. Claim warranty asap.

Here's an example photo of one of the many exciting things the screen randomly does. I'm trying to compile a pile of photos and hopefully video to support my claim, problem is that it's so completely random. I took it to an Optus store the other day to get some sort of idea as to what would happen, and the guy seemed to reckon that they'd do what he tried; pressed the power button on/off about 20 times, if they don't get it to misbehave in that time they'll say it's not faulty!
Want to make sure I get a full backup before sending it in also.
This greeted me on waking it. Sometimes this kind of thing will randomly crop up when in the middle of using it, other times power button won't wake screen, others I get incoming calls but no screen so can't answer - power button is the only thing that responds, which of course hangs up.
FYI - I am posting this in hopes that my experience may anyone that goes through this same problem. My phone is S-off and rooted.
I recently had to replace my screen. I bought one from ebay. You check it out the link below if you would like.
The digitizer flex cable was a little too long and seemed not be positioned where it should be, (too far left or something like that). I made it work and got my phone back together. The screen worked just fine until I made a phone call; upon connecting the screen turned off and would not turn back on until the call disconnected. I was running Viper DNA 6.0 originally when screen replacement took place. I could not find what I considered to be a solid lead on correcting the problem at first. I downloaded a different ROM, the teamEOS Droid DNA, same result. I searched more and seen in someones response, (unfortunately cant remember who), that they thought it had something to do with the Kernel. I downloaded JamieTheMorris's intelli plug kernel. When making a call the screen would turn off but, a press of the power button would make the screen turn on but, the screen would not respond to my touch. I tried using the recommended settings and that make my phone go haywire. So I wiped everything and downloaded Santod's NuSense SIX KitKat 6.0 and sometimes the screen cuts off when the call connects but, the power button makes the screen turn on and the phone responds to my touch.
I do not at all feel or claim that I have solved the problem of the replacement screen turning off when a call is connected but; due to the use Santod's ROM my phone functions and for now, that is enough for me.
If anyone has any more info on this problem, or is able to figure the problem please post below.

Since it has RED menu buttons, I think this the screen for butterfly, hence the possible difference in positioning. I am not sure, just my 2c.
Does it have Verizon or HTC logo?

It has a HTC logo at the top. I know it does not mean too much but; the listing says specifically Droid DNA Verizon, although I was questioning whether that was why the cable was not spot on.
Is there anyway to find out what's causing this? Only thing I can think of would be Snapchat maybe.. That's the only app I know of that will turn it on if I get a message but it keeps coming on randomly with no message or anything. Sometimes it'll happen if I just turn it off, it will instantly come back on again.

Also when this does occur the screen orientation is wacky like it's supposed to be locked on portrait on the home screen but it will rotate any and every direction
HTC Desire 601 (Zara_CL)
No clue. Does the issue go away if u uninstall snapchat?
Looks like it might've been the micro USB charging port. It was bent upwards and apparently shorting out my phone making things weird. I bent it back for not but who knows if it'll happen again. I found the answer in a Google search.
HTC Desire 601 (Zara_CL)
No not the charging port. Called virgin mobile and they said pull the battery and rub with posts with a pencil eraser. Doubt this will work.. Said call back if it happens again and they'll send a replacement
Update: the screen wake problem hasn't happened again since I rubbed the posts like VM told me.. I'm surprised.
