[Problem] Touchscreen Issues/ Software related?

Okay guys this one has been screwing with me for a while now and is getting progressively worse.
I have a launch day EVO 0002 hardware and I believe an Epson panel but don't remember that one 100%
My evo was running great up until the 31st/1st. I put on a CM6 rom and a snap kernel. Phone was running fine then started lagging horrible so I did a reboot.. Phone went into bootloop. So I went into recovery wiped data/ cache/dalvik 2 times (clockwork recovery).
Restored the phone to Freak E Froyo which I had been running for 2 weeks. Next day I tried the senseless Freak E Froyo and wasn't as much of a fan of it so I installed AVA v6(then flashed king kernel 8 over the top) then the touchscreen issues arose. My screen would think it is being touched when it is not pages would flip, apps would open and no buttons would work. When i hit the home button it opens whatever is on the left of the screen and when I push the back button it opens whatever is in the middle of the screen.
So I nandroid'ed to My Freak E froyo after wiping all again. Still did it. Flashed CM6 6.0.0 after wiping all. Still same problem but worse and even more noticeable on CM6 .
I then switched to AMON RA recovery, tried the same thing: wiping all 4 times, reinstalled CM6, same problem.
Tried reinstalling stock 2.2 odexed and rooted was fine until about 5 hours after running then almost every time I could only use the phone for about 6 seconds and the touchscreen would become unresponsive...
I am thinking it is a piece of a kernal not flashing correctly so It is causing problems maybe?
If not that do you think it could be a CPU problem itself? Maybe going out and unable to hold up anymore and causing freezing?
Any suggestions will be tried. If not work then...I will most likely try a 2.2 RUU and format my sd card and see if that does anything.. and lose root/nand unlock

Yes my v002 EVO had the same issue and all 002 are novatek but I dont think its a screen problem.
I gave up trying to figure it out but I know with mine if I ran ANY rom that came out before the 1.47 OTA then it would NEVER have this issue..
If I ran ANY rom after the 1.47 OTA then it would always do it..Sometimes it might take hours for it to happen but it will..I'll bet yours is probably the same way.
The offical HTC 2.2..yup same thing
The offical HTC 1.47 OTA..yup same thing and this is when it started.
I wiped/flashed/wiped whatever you can think of and the problem NEVER went away on any newer ROM's but as soonas I load a older ROM it never happened.
Look for the EVOlution v9 ROM..Its the ROM I ran until I exchanged the phone..I'll bet if you load that ROM you won't see a single touch screen issue.
Just my 2 cents but save yourself the headache and exchange that damn phone..

That is what I will most likely do tomorrow. Will take it back to stock to do it tonight but it is just weird because I never once had a problem until the bootloop. My buddy who has an evo we got em at the same time store ..etc.. His alot of times will do this and he is not rooted or anything...Just hoping they dont give me any problems tomorrow at sprint...

[Q] HELP! My Incredible has frequent crashes and reboots

Can't find an answer to this on google or xda. Didn't know if I should post this in General or Q&A.
I have been using my Incredible since it came out. I quickly learned about rooting, roms, s-off... with no problems. I have been running Skyraider almost from the beginning.
Here is the problem: A few days ago, I noticed on the SR thread that there were updates for the radio and hboot. So, I went ahead and flashed them. Almost immediately I started noticing the screen becoming unresponsive. After a minute or two I did a battery pull, rebooted, and again after a little while, freeze and reboot. I also noticed that even when the phone is awake but screen off, it would wake itself up. The rebooting and freezing makes it impossible to use my phone.
I tried everything I could think of:
Nandroid restore (obviously didn't work since this doesn't effect hboot or radio).
Reinstalled fresh SR Rom wiping everything, including dalvik, and did factory reset.
Finally, I downgraded back to the hboot and radio versions I had before, still no effect. (Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28, hboot .79 ).
I tried installing another ROM (Uncommon sense) to make sure it wasn't a ROM issue, ..same problem.
Please, any help would be much appreciated. I don't know what my next step should be.

do you overclock at all?

No overclocking, I don't use setcpu, and I have been running the stock kernel. But it does feel like overclocking.

I wonder if the timing of events is just coincidence and its a hardware issue. I've had my Inc since June... rooted s -off in july and had no problems until about a month ago. I don't oc I use the new stock kernel but my phone hates change. Even flashing a small mod will cause rebooting.... and navigation always causes it. Phone heats up fast with these particular activities too but sometimes it will reboot at only 35c after a flash. I'm thinking hardware

Thanks,
You may be right.
For now things are working, let's hope they stay that way.

Data completely stopped working.

HW version 0003
Myns release 4
3.30.651.3
HTC Kernel 17
Washington DC area
for some odd reason i have no data. no 3g, 4g, only wifi. updated profile and prl. Did the ##data# reset in edit mode with the PRL. Shut off and let sit without battry for a while.
Any ideas?

Don't resort to flashing radios you can really screw up your 4g.....Did you try factory reseting your phone but back everything up first and see if that works if not try flashing a stock rom or a ruu.

Update Profile/PRL. If that doesn't work, flash a stock RUU and Update Profile/PRL. If that doesn't work do a ##786# reset. That should get you up and running.
If you still have problems post back and I will point you in the right direction to fixing your data profiles.

I also have the same problem using myn rls4, but have net 4.2.1 cfs HAVS more kernal. Out of nowhere the data will just cut out and stop working. I will try some of the suggestions in the thread.

Did any of out suggestions work for you?

well i went back to CM 6.1(newest build) and about 45 minutes ago it happened again while i was at the bar. guess imma go to a non rooted RUU to see what happens

not to be "that" guy but one bump for a hopefully permanent fix.
As much as half of us have a rom flashing addiction. I cannot do this every day lol.

If that doesn't work. Call sprint and tell them your phone is having really slow data and it's going in and out tell them it happened after updating your phone through system update then they will say it's due to software update and they will send you a replacement next day.That is my suggestion because you don't want to screw something up that might be noticeable trying to fix your current evo just get a new one and start over with everything updated. I hope I was helpful

I did this, using the debug menu once. I reset all data and then it wouldn't update my profile so I couldn't access my 3G and the web data was gone. I tried to update my profile/prl and it wouldn't, kept timing out.
Every time I would reboot the handset it would try to update automatically but fail. It turns out the rooted rom I was on, (Fresh EVO) was interfering with the update. I flashed the stock RUU...then the phone attempted the same update profile, and afterwards it was back to normal.
So try going back to a stock rom, and then if it doesn't automatically try to update your profile, go to your settings and do so manually, should do the trick.
Basically do what APH noted in his post...sorry must have skipped your posting.

This same thing happened to me on the Hero. I RUU'd back to Sprint's crap and then called them. They walked me through some things and then told me to take it in. The repair guy did the same thing I did (RUU and then data fix) and it started working. So, if all else fails, RUU and bring it back to the store.

thank goodness i have a long weekend. Guess if the new PRL update doesnt fix this then ill head over.

[Q] Flashed Myn's Warm 2.2 (RLS 5), 4G radio not working

I flashed the ROM a few nights ago and followed the instructions regarding flashing the new Radio pack but after noticing that 4G just wouldn't turn on I tried going back into recovery and flashing the .zip again. Still didn't work.
Eventually I restored the previous backup because of an unrelated data-loss incident. I restored the backup I made of Warm and tried re-flashing the radio .zip but it still wont work, anyone care to point out what I'm doing wrong?
I've tried searching the ROM's thread but "4g" must not be long enough to search for, and "radio" yielded no help either. I would've posted this there but evidently I need 10 posts before I can post to the Dev forum(A new rule?).
Thanks for reading!

What's your phone information(build,kernel,hboot)?

I thought that stuff was controlled by the ROM developer. It's on HTC kernel 15, build is warm 2.2 RLS 5.

As it turns out, last night I was able to turn 4g on, but I'm no longer able to do it now. Anyone know what's up?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I had the exact same problem as you. This just happened out of nowhere which is even more weird. The rom was working fine and then all of a sudden it just stopped allowing me to turn on 4g. I get the scanning then disconnect really quick. Or I get turning on and turning off over and over again. It shows really quick.
What I did was I flashed back to stock with an old nandroid. I went to a area without 4g and tried to let it connect. Of course it couldn't. I then updated my profile 4 times. I flashed back to another rom and it is working again. Still a little buggy but way better than not being able to connect at all.

Did you go back to Warm? And what profiles are you talking about exactly, and what does that do? I like this fRom a lot so I'd hate to have to switch.

I have been bouncing back and forth between his and mikfroyo. You go into settings and go to system updates and update profile. When it's done hit ok. Do that a few times and restart the phone. See if that works. It took me days to get mine working again. I think it was from flashing from rom to rom all the time and updating and upgrading the radio's that caused the problem. I don't think it's his rom that is causing it in my case at least. Good luck

My standard process when flashing roms and kernels has always been and will be when im done with the flashing . Setup widgets and where I want them , apps , general settings etc etc etc . Then perform Update Profile followed by Update PRL . When those processes are done I usually let the phone settle down some then do a reboot . Again let the phone settle down from the reboot . Then check your 4G connection it should work . My only advice is to stick with roms running off the newest radios . That way you cut out flashing radios causing possible issues with 4G .

So i am having issues with this ROM and was wondering if anyone is having the same issue. Well i see that my awake and run time are the same and spare parts is showing 100% usage on the CPU.
ive tried using all the different kernels to no success.
any help would be appreciated.
Myn's warm 2.2 RLS 5
updated radios
kings 11

I've installed Myn and my 4G doesn't work. It switches between on and off really fast and then sometimes it'll go further and scan, connect, disconnect, and repeat.
Specs: myn's warm TwoPointTwo (RLS5)
Baseband: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel: 2.6.32.25-netrarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass
PRI version: 1.90_003
PRL version 60674
NOTE!! I've already checked if my RSA keys have been lost and they haven't.
Any tips would be grateful, I'm going to flash Fresh tonight and hopefully it works.

Jj, and SouthernEvo, thanks for the tips! I cracked the glass on my phone and just got a replacement, when I flashed the radios I didn't get the images the dev said I would: "While the radios are flashing you'll see a little green arrow phone icon for a bit afterwords, Wait on this. You will then automatically be taken back to recovery."
If this time around it doesn't work again I guess I'll try flashing a re-downloaded Radio package!
running_onCode, seems that we might be having the same issues, did you notice anything strange while flashing the radio package? Like I said on this second Evo, when I flashed it I paid attention and didn't get any green exclamation points.

I have this problem as well. I've used the app that checks for the RSA keys and it says I'm good. I've also checked via a console app.
What happens is exactly like everyone else here. Once the WiMax radio is turned on it'll scan for 3-5 seconds, then it says connecting to Sprint for about .5 seconds, then it says disconnect, and repeats. I've flashed and reflashed with the latest radio pack at the top here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 . I did that so I could run Myn's Wyrm RLS5. H boot has not been flahed ( think I have a really old version). I've tried different ROMs and there is no difference. I tried going back to my previous ROM and it still didn't work. I tried updating Profile and PRL 5x and doing a shutdown>reboot and there was no change. Any help would be great.

Yeah, it seems like we do have the same issue. I'll flash Myn's rom when there is a fix for the 4G or maybe it's just our phones? I got tired of waiting so I flashed MikFroyo and everything is working. I was using 4G a couple minutes after leaving my house yesterday.

Yeah I'm thinking of just flashing another ROM, can't get much help without posting to the ROM thread itself and I guess I can't do that anymore!
It's too bad though, the first time around I had amazing battery life, but this time it's a lot worse

Are you using Titanium Backup? I had the same problem when I used TB, I would wipe everything, flash Myn's rom and them restore all my apps using TB and 4g would not turn on at all, RSA keys were intact but no 4g. I actually did a Nand backup before running TB and after using TB and trying to restore Nand 4g still would not work!
It actually took a while before I figured out it was TB borking the 4g (3-4 installs and reboots). I had to write down all my backed up apps and download them one by one
Hope this helps!

As a matter of fact I am using Titanium! So I should flash the rom and install the apps one by one or what? That's not really something I'm looking forward to

I doubt it is titanium, I had the same problems with RLS 5 not getting 4g. Have used titanium on Calks, Mik, and Azrael without having 4g scanning / disconnecting issues. There was a fix for this a couple weeks ago, somewhere. Too much for me so I moved on. Ricsim said that battery life is 97% driven by the kernel, not the Rom.

Bump! Anyone?

Evo Not Sleeping!

My Evo running warm 2.2 rls 5 with nets 4.3.2 cfs sbc nohavs suv stopped sleeping so I decided to just do a full wipe and reflash the rom/kernel. After reflashing I did absolutely nothing to it (no apps installed, etc) to see if it would sleep and waited for an hour or so and still no sleep. Back to recovery, full wipe, flashed rom only, still no sleep! I had calk 1.7.1 on the SD card so I did another full wipe and flashed that and still it won't sleep!! I'm sure it's not some app because no additional apps are installed and i've never had this problem with either rom before. Any ideas what could be causing this? Let me know if more information is needed too!

Could possibly be that your phone doesn't like the PRI you're using. A lot of people had wake lock issues while running the 1.90 PRI, myself included. Downgrading to the 1.77 PRI solved that issue for me right away. I would suggest trying that, if you are indeed on the 1.90 PRI. If you're on 1.77 already, maybe try changing to 1.90. Just make sure when you're flashing the PRI, that you let it finish completely. Its like a radio flash, where you see some different screens and what not, so don't pull the battery!

install Spare Parts. Wait a day or so, then check the battery history in that app, particularly the partial wake usage.

Prl 1.77 seems to work nicely. 1.9 usually gives issues
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

prl is actually 1.34_003 so i'll have to update that and see if anything changes.
I'm attaching spare parts screenshots for the partial wake...see if that gives anyone ideas until I update the prl.

Even with the updated Prl it won't sleep. Any other ideas of what could be causing this? I'm not quite sure how to read the spare parts screens...nothing looks to be out of the ordinary for to me. Are there any other diagnostics tools i could use to see whats keeping it from sleepin?

I don't use spare parts too much, so I could be wrong. But where it says 'android system', i thought you can tap that, and it will show you a list of things that have been running. Not sure. As for other types of diagnostic and useful apps for this type of thing, you can try SystemPanel, OS Monitor, Watchdog. There are more, but I think those are the most popular. Are you sure you don't have a runaway app? This happens after a complete wipe (data, dalvik cache, cache, flash calkulins format all.zip) without adding any apps to the ROM? Just the apps that came loaded up with the ROM? Are you logged into facebook, and have it syncing a lot? If it syncs every hour, that could be a part of your problem.

I've reflashed roms and then simply skipped through all the setup screens and then locked the screen and just let it sit for over an hours and it would not sleep so I'm fairly sure it's not a run away app

Weird. When did this start happening? Any notable time?(any changes you made around when it started happening?) You already confirmed which PRI you were on, and that you updated that. Have you checked your radio version? Maybe if that is also old, as your PRI was prior, then the PRI and the radio aren't jiving. I would make sure that all your radios are updated at this point. All Evo radios, wimax versions, pri's, and nv's are on this page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 . You can flash a combo if you want, and flash them all at the same time. If it still does it after making sure that all your radios are updated, and you are using a rom with the latest 3.70 software, then I am at a loss and I apologize. Up to date radios, a clean install of a ROM after a COMPLETE wipe should yield an Evo that sleeps like a rock.

Sleep issue fixed!

Downgrading the PRI from 1.90 to 1.77 resolved my rooted EVO not sleeping issue. I am using the stock 2.2 ROM rooted with unrevoked.

Sleep issue also fixed
Hey,
Just wanted to say I was also having the issue about my EVO 4g not sleeping. I'd unrooted and then re-rooted my phone, and noticed my up time and awake time were the same. Downgraded to 1.77 and immediately my phone slept.
Back down to <10% awake time (thank GOODNESS) lol.
Preciate ya!
I would thank ya, but I can't...yet lol

Sorry, I'm a total noob, what exactly does sleep mean for a phone cause I'm having issues with my evo too with no battery life and I'm running on Myn r. 5
