I got to work this morning and plugged in phone to charge forgot to charge last night. I happened to look down at the screen and it was opening and closing the phone then calling by itself.
I noticed also the lighting on Hard keys don't go off. I had Energy 9/29 Standard, never had problem out of it before. I thought it was a Rom problem so i changed to simplicity new build same problem, now im on 10/1 Jackos S2 ShowLite same problems except its not doing random calling.
I'm thinking it hardware problem . this sucks. I wouldn't mind so much if I dropped it.
it pisses me off the hard keys light never goes off
*update* now my hardware keyboard doesn't work

Ok, I was having some software issues with my Tilt 2 (TP2) and I talked to Tech @ AT&T, cause I wanted to get it exchanged. So they had me go and check to see if my ROM was outdated, which it was. I bileive it was on 1.59-ish, and now its on the most current one direct from HTC's Support site. My main problem right now is that the phone is 99% unuseable at the moment. AT&T has already agreed to send a replacement after talking with them a few hours ago, but its going to take about a week to get here, and it'll most likely have the same ROM and the same problems, so here I am posting to let people know whats going on, and see if anyone else knows what causes this/has this issue.
Right now the phone is completely stock, only installed app is MS My Phone so I could sync my contacts. I can let the phone sit till the screen shuts off from idle, but if I need to turn on the screen once it turns off, it requires the battery to be taken out. Right now my phone is sitting in front of my keyboard, with its screen black and off, while the keyboard is lit up. Something to note - the keys on the bottom of the screen are NOT lit up. Pushing buttons on the keyboard does nothing. Caps Lock and FN do NOT light up their coresponding indicator lights. If I am lucky, I can get the phone to come out of this state by having someone call me, but aside from that, taking out the battery has been the only way to reset it. Only way to keep the screen from freezing is to constantly use the phone. Using the phone is slow as balls. I thought TF3D was slow, Sense is just as bad. It worked perfectly fine at first, right after it was updated, it was nice and fast, but now that its been used for a few hours, its sluggish.
Anyone ever had this issue with this ROM?
And does anyone know how to possibly fix this issue, or at least get it so the screen will show that its on? I can deal with it being slow, so long as I can use the screen
Thanks guys

You already ruled out a software issue by flashing another stock ROM. This is something hardware related. Sense on the AT&T ROM is dreadfully slow. Use a custom ROM if you want the features of Sense, but in a faster iteration.
I am running miui 12.11.1, stock kernel. My droid incredible as the AMOLED screen. My home button and the lower left part of the screen no longer respond to touch input. I have to rotate the screen to use parts of my screen now or I can't type in the "a" on the keyboards, or pull down the menu in landscape mode. I've wiped cache, and full wipe, but it has made no difference. I also cannot mount the internal sd card but that is a known issue with this rom I believe.
I've also tried going to a completely different rom CM 6.1 stable. but I have the same issue.
Ideas or assistance would be appreciated.
this sounds like a hardware issue and is most likely unrelated to ROM/kernel/recovery
Sounds like the digitizer screen. Same thing happened to me. Look on Ebay for a new one.
this happens with certian Dinc's. i bought a new screen to fix my home button issue because they are linked, i ended finding out it was a loose cable but according to HTC its a rare problem and was isolated to a few phones
eh. . that is ok. If it is a hardware issue than I'm just unluckly. I guess I just need to remember to rotate the screen left instead of right. Is there an easy way to map the home button to the search hard button?
I guess if it is really annoying I'll sell it to one of the devs here who could put it to good use.
Doubt its a hardware issue so test it before listening to anyone on here. I have miui as well and I have the same problem then I did a nand and flashed a new rom and it worked but I restored and the nand and the problem was back. I thought it was kernel but I flashed different ones but that isn't it...i flashed the zip for data throttling instead of editing it myself but I doubt that is the prob...so I have no cle right now I was just going to give up because now I don't even get any calls so make sure you test to rule out a hardware issue because I doubt it is bc I have the same issue and they keep getting worse until I flash a new rom. I'll try to figure it out. Ley me know on recent changes you made so that I can have some help trying to figure it out.
Well, Like I said, I wiped, factory, reset and flashed a completely different rom (went from MIUI to CM Stable) and one side of the screen was unresponsive. I turned off the phone to put in a battery and now I have all my buttons and everything seems to be working again.

I've heard of issues with extended batteries where the pressure distorts the screen so it doesn't work...
Could that've been the case?
I doubt it was the battery, I had the original battery in there when it was not working and I'm using the extended battery now and it is working, both batteries have identical physical dimensions. It may very well be a hardware issue, I noticed that when I was having problems, I could not mount my sdcard on my pc. The cable was plugged in, the phone asked if I wanted to sync with the PC but it never showed up in windows. I did it just now (running CM6) and it works. The usb cable/port is underneath the home button so maybe that port is just fragile and causing issues? I never liked the location of that port, it should be on top of the phone or underneath, away from screen as much as possible.
I recently had to replace my Evo and when I go to replace my phone I see they take it out of a replacement box. I always hated liked the idea of a refurbished phone but I was desperate and hey if it works then what the hell. Its been 2 weeks and I've noticed problems with the screen response and sometimes losing control of it. for example i could be on Facebook and it will just start scrolling up and down rapidly I also have trouble moving from screen to screen having to make a slow full swipe or it wont work this also occurs unlocking the screen.A more common issue is when typing in portrait "i" and "n" don't work and I'm forced to switch to landscape. Although this happens frequently there is no way i can prove this to a Sprint store considering this happens randomly. Could i still ask for a replacement and what are chances i can get a NEW phone? Also is this a problem with the screen or one that can be solved?
Thank you in advance
I noticed times like that, also when I swyped it showed a very jagged line and wouldn't put the correct word down, I found that during those times I had it plugged into the charger, unplugged and it works fine, how to fix? I dunno, is yours caused by the charger too?
I've noticed my lockscreen issue is caused when charging and as for the keyboard no it happens randomly
I'd take it in, and try do perform actions and have it messed up. You can still express your disdain for the replacement.
anyone had problem with the screen not responding after waking up?
There's no way to turn off the phone / make it respond unless to unplug the battery and plug it in again. Had this problem on the first GN and my second replacement GN.
Yep, happened to me the other day as well. There was a crash right before which made the phone reboot. Once it came back, the hardware buttons responded fine but the touchscreen was dead until a battery pull.
Hasn't happened since though.
Had this at lunch today also had it a few days ago.
When returning from sleep the touch input seems to be completely unresponsive.
I left mine for a while to see if it recovered, it did, it came up with the crash report for "System Process" The screen was then responding fine.
Weird. This is indeed different to the sleep of death, because the screen comes on.
Although maybe it's related in some way?
This just happened to me, and so I googled to find an answer. It thankfully led me here. It's like you guys described: I just tried unlocking my phone, but the screen was completely unresponsive. Not a single touch would register, even when trying to touch the Power Off option.
I read robaldred's comment, so I decided to try the waiting game. Thankfully, after a few minutes the screen just came on and the device was ready to use. I don't believe I saw a crash report though.
I hope this won't become a serious issue. I'd hate to be stranded at a point when I need to use my phone.
I had this problem too. have you guys used custom notification sounds?

I had this exact problem and I found it was due to Juice Defender (I have the Ultimate version as well). It kept happening after I installed and but since removing it over a week ago no problems.
Just had it happen here, had to pull batt. Using BatteryXL but will keep it on and see if it happens again.
I did not have that problem for a long time, it only recently happened. In the morning the device 'froze' for the first time and did not react to any input without the screen turning on.
I took out the battery to restart and everything seemed fine. But later on it happened while I was using the device, certain pixels moved out of place (like a green pixel distortion) and the device froze. Screen turned off soon after. Taking out the battery was the only option.
Now, this is either battery or some other hardware flaw. After restart the battery had been hit with a 20% drop.
Might the device act up by some charging problems? When I am charging the device, I can feel the electric 'buzz' from the docking connectors (the three golden circles).
Also, when it is not charging, I cannot detect it myself, but if I take a strand of hair, the end of it 'sticks' lightly to the screen (and to the docking connector) if I put it close there. I fear like there's some manufacturing flaw there that broke loose.
The device has not dropped once, nor has had any other physical damage happen to it.
Has anyone else had the same symptoms happen?
Sounds like you've hit the same (or similar) issue to others (including me)

Thank you. I thought it was different from Sleep of Death since the initial symptoms were different from weeks ago when I read that thread, but now reading it this seems correct. This thread can be merged or removed, I'll post in the other thread. Thanks again!
I've had that too, couple days ago using Facebook everything just froze. The keyboard went all buggy and green pixels everywhere. The back of the phone started to warm up phone wouldn't respond in any way.
Tried everything I could try, only option was to pull the battery, once that happened phone wouldn't turn back on!
I gave the phone 5 mins to rest before putting battery back in then it turned on.
My heart was pounding I thought my phone had died!
Thankfully it hasn't happened since

It's happened to me multiple times. Less since I turned off the EQ in the Music app, but it's still happening.
Once it happened with the device just sitting there with Tapatalk displaying a list of posts. I wasn't even interacting with it.
I think it's a OS or driver problem and will be fixed in an OTA.
happened to me once, although when it happened I was already pretty low on battery, about 20% left, maybe less.
I was in a settings menu for some app, I can't remember which. But I had the keyboard up, and the green pixels hit, froze, unfroze, green pixels again, froze, and then shut off.
it would not turn on via the power button, so I quickly pulled the batt and put it back after 30 secs or so and powered it up. Batt did not drop any lower than it was, and it worked fine. Plugged it in, recharged overnight, and has been fine ever since.
I'm running 4.0.1 and I don't have anything but apps made by Google on the phone at the moment.
never rooted or unlocked bootloader.
Hopefully 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 fixes this
i realize now that there's no support for 720P AC3 .MKV files on the Nexus yet, but every time i tried the phone would lock up and i'd have to do a battery pull. other then that, i notice if i have Google Music running and attempt to do something else(multi-task) the phone will also lock up.. but then it will reboot on it's own. i also get lag regularly switching views/menus or going from portait/landscape. additionally, the browser(regardless of which one i use) will occasionally just freeze & close by itself.. usually if i try to do a secure login on a site. i will also sometimes get FC's(have seen them for launcher pro & android keyboard)
