The touchscreen simply stops responding every now and then, witjout any pattern related to external or internal factors. When this happens, battery pull or a restore to factory do not help. After a while, everything starts working normally again.
Any idea what's causing this and how to cure it?
If it survives restarting and resetting, and then suddenly goes away again...
Sounds like a hardware problem, e.g. a not-so-good connection from the screen to the main board. Might need repairs!
Do you have a screen protector? I had a vikuiti one and after a while the display became eratic.

Iv found if I hold the device and my fingers are very close to the screen it effects the screen sensing my input.

I m facing an awkward problem with my WFS's touch.... It works pretty fine with everything for sometime but after some irregular time, it starts acting erratically and I simply loose the focus on the screen...... the touch buttons automatically start acting until I lock the phone using power button.... As soon as I do so, it works like a charm again after sometime....
Notes:-
1. It doesn't happen in any particular ROM.
2. It doesn't happen in any particular apps.
3. It doesn't happen in any particular time interval, it just happens, sometimes after 10 seconds only, and sometimes not even for half an hour continuously.... (I was watching a movie on phone on mxplayer.... It worked pretty fine for about 45 minutes, and all of sudden, the touch closed the movie....... I turnt the screen off and then again came back, then it happened again within 10 to 20 seconds continuously for about 10 times so I got pissed off and kept the mobile aside.......)
4. I have tried almost everything out there related to touch fixes for WFS, like unlock freeze problem solutions etc, but neither of them happens to work in my case.....
5. I just have a hunch that its moisture problem.... I guessed, that when I use my phone's screen continuously, it works like a charm like earlier, but when the screen gets heated up ,it starts reacting erratically......
If anyone has any solution of at least knows the accurate problem, I wold b really thankful to them...........
I have tried using different ROMs, Kernels etc...........
If you think it's something related to moisture. Put the phone in a rice container for 24 hours. Take the battery, mmc, and back cover first. Shut down the container tight. The moisture should be take care of.
It can also be faulty connection or another hardware problem.
This also happens to me so you are not alone. Though I have grown used to it, it is still a pain in the back side at times. I also press the power button in order to temporarily remedy the problem. This is a hardware issue either to do with as said moisture or overheating.
well...what happens with mine is when i press the power button to unlock, touchscreen doesnt respond for some time and i am unable to unlock the device. But after that touchscreen works fine. Sometimes i even cant recieve the phone! And if even a single tine drop of water falls on screen...entire screen stops working!
That happend with mee too...i just send mine to hTC service center(ahmedabad)...they replaced touch screen and motherboard for free,though with s-off with custom rom...they didnt denied for warranty,lol....!!!
Now every thing works fine.

Lucky you smartboy....
Well as a solution I too went to customer care center they said they'd have to update the touchscreen firmware and would require a special card to do so, and for the time being they didn't have it and hence they would send a request to other center to get it.... I'm waiting for their reply when they get it....
Thanks sukhijit for the moisture solution.... I'd try that also....
I am week aware of the touch screen issues involving the phantom touches and erratic behavior, but I am having a different issue.
Basically 1 out of 3 times I pick up my tablet the touch screen doesn't respond at all. I am stuck on the lock screen and it eventually times out and goes back to sleep despite my attempts to unlock the device. My only fix is to keep turning it on and off, then eventually it works again. Never have problems with the device on, only when I come from it being asleep.
I have tried installing some of the touch screen fixes thru fastboot, but it has not done anything to change this behavior. Am I the only one with this issue?

I get it sometimes and this is what I do
Take a cloth and rub the entire screen using some pressure
I dunno why but it works for me
Odd, maybe a static electricity thing?

1 dry the screen
2 reboot

Hi i have this supper anoying problem after 5.0.2 update! So basicaly What it does is when ever i will pick up the phone it would turn off like the screen would dim (not rebbot or shut down) and after a little tapping on a screen it would turn on again and sometimes when it does that it would glitch a little. While typing this it happened twice its sooooo anoying idk what to do now if i wont find any solutions i will just buy samsung galaxy or something like that. Also my carrier is Virgin Mobile thanks
Same problem, same phone.
Definitely annoying! Seems random but especially while rotating for me. I have not been able to dig up any solutions thus far.
Check out your proximity sensor settings in the HTC testing app, or try Gravity screen. Mine did the same thing a couple times, also clean off your screen at the very top left, if you look real good you can see the sensor just under the front camera hole in the glass, also sometimes a screen saver will mess with this sensor. One more thing is the stock lock screen can cause an issue similar to what you are talking about, hope one of these help yo out, cane0716

hi
thanks for information i already gave that phone to my friend and i think he fixed it by actually having different lock screen i currently have samsung galaxy s5 its wayyyy better lol
Phone turns off during use and will not complete boot unless plugged to charger even when the battery is almost full.
This error started last night after I did factory reset because of observed phone lag. I did mistakenly "wiped internal storage" but got the alert of "no OS during reboot", so I restored from my backup from SD.
the phone started properly but went off during initial setup and will go back off each time I tried turning it back on. I thought it was battery so I plugged it to power.
it did boot but will go back off once I have few touches on the screen.
I had to leave it plugged to setup my accounts else it will go off.
I'm using its Wi-Fi to send this message via my PC because any 2 - 3 touches will switch the phone off.
once it does that, it won’t even boot to bootloader before it goes off again unless plugged to power.
what I do to solve this please??
HELP!!!
All in a sudden, I am not able to turn on my Nexus 7 again, it just stuck in the first screen showing GOOGLE, I use Pure Nexus rom all the time and it works very well, not sure what happen. Tried to reboot to recovery but the touch screen is not working, is that the problem with the screen or the system issue? is there anyone has the same experience can share your solution?
Much appreciate!

This happens with mine every once in a while as well. Sometimes it will get stuck at the google logo like you are describing and my way to fix it is to do a full wipe and re-flash my ROM then restore my apps and data with Titanium Backup. I also occasionally get other issues like the touch screen being unresponsive or autorotation not working. If autorotation stops working I'll just power off and reboot until it begins working again. As far as the touch screen being unresponsive, sometimes the fix is as simple as just doing a reboot. Sometimes I have to tap on the screen or the back cover with my knuckle using about a third of the force I'd use if knocking on a door. If that doesn't work sometimes lightly tapping the corner of the device on a countertop or table has helped. One more thing that sometimes helps is to set the tablet face down on a flat surface and firmly press down on the back cover with both hands. Be careful though because this is a good way to scratch the glass if the surface isn't 100% smooth and clean. Its better to lay a towel or piece of cloth on the surface under the tablet so the screen doesn't get scratched. My screen was perfect until I did this one day on a dirty countertop and it put about a dozen small scratches on the screen when the tablet slid about a half inch while I was pressing it against the countertop. You just have to experiment while being careful not to beat it up. I hope this helps.

Hi all,
I've recently got this tablet from Google store (and out of stock now).
After installed all things needed, a serious problem has appeared during in use. Its screen unexpectly trembles, pops notification out, runs and closes apps randomly then unable touchscreen at all. These make me crazy even in screen saver, and power button doesn't work sometimes to stop those happenings.
The device hasn't rooted and staying as 'pure' with only afew apps, so I've done erasing system cache partition on recovery mode and factory reset twice to solve this problem.
Nothing happened so far since reset the device but is still unsettling.. and now I just supposed touching screen badly (with sweaty fingers for example) or the screen protect film I affixed since unboxing might cause the problem.
Does anyone faces a problem like this?
Regards,
Allen
If it was greasy fingers my tablet would be completely unusable. Luckily a quick clean sorts any issues that causes.
My first suspicion would be the screen protector, as mine has done similar when there was something touching the screen. Maybe try taking it off and seeing how it goes? You can also turn on show taps in the Developer Options to be able to see what touches the tablet is detecting when it goes mad.
Better than before

Thanks for your reply. Now I've used a BT mouse to match with mine and less touch on the screen apparently. Nothing happened so far.
It's not a problem of hardware I supposed and pretty sure that the screen protector interferes a certain touch as you commented. Still my eyes are keeping on what caused the problem.
