[Q] Help me with my Evo,Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
The purpose of this thread is to seek assistance with what has become a major issue.I have a rooted EVO 4g device(for several months) and I am not sure as to how it exactly happened but my phone now complete commands by itself.For example when in typing screen,it automatically starts writing letters,when I try to erase them they repeatedly come back.It will not let me complete many commands before taking over and clicking random selections.
**Things I have tried to remedy the problem include clear cache,data several times,install other roms(same problems with Cynagogen 7, syngergy and MIUI).
Powering off and powering back on.
Nothing seems to work and I would greatly appreciate it, as i am extremely close to unrooting and going back to the old fashion way.
What should I do?
Please help
Albert

Are you using the stock keyboard? or is this on a 3rd party keyboard?

Sounds like the touch screen is going bad to me. Does it also randomly open aps? Or is it just when you are typing?

wow! Incredible response time. I have tried several keyboards as well, stock, swift keyboard and the one that comes preloaded with cynagogen 7.

Are you having issues with response times any other times you touch the screen? Could be your digitizer going bad?

It's been a slow day at work.
Sounds like you've covered your bases pretty well. I'm still thinking it's a HW problem. There are intructions out there on how to replace the screens. You can buy replacements on eBay.

issues with response time, such as not responding, clicking above and below the area I touch and not responding to the area I touched.

Curious, do you know how much a screen cost? Nothing else that can be done prior to this? excuse my ignorance.

I've seen anywhere between $11 and $28.

Call a priest, rabbi monk or other clergyman because your phone is possessed by a demon!
Actually, it sounds like a hardware problem. My wife's touchscreen android phone had a similar problem..it was hardware related

Its a a touch screen lcd Digitizer, pretty much the cover. Some ppl have replaced em when their screen cracks or scratches. You might want to unroot and take into store and see if they will replace.

Thanks, a milliion times for your feedback. I actually looked it up after asking impulsively. I was thinking about taking it to sprint, but because I had such a difficult time getting my evo rooted in the first place. wanted to rule out all other options before going that route.

Does anyone have an updated version of the unroot process?

Go to unrevoked's site and download the s-on tool, then flash that in recovery. Then download the newest RUU available. You can download it in .exe form to run from your computer or as a zip to flash through the bootloader. If you decide to go the zip route, rename it to PC36IMG.zip (don't add a zip, it's already there) and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into the bootloader (vol down + power) and when it asks you to update select yes with the volume up button.
I wouldn't flash the s-on tool though, and would just run an RUU. If you used unrevoked or unrevoked forever during your root process then you'll keep s-off. They should still fix it as long as you're back to stock otherwise. That way if the tech gets the crazy idea to update your phone you can still get root back. If they replace it then maybe someone will get your s-off device

I had this issue, gave the bare screen a nice cleaning with an glass cleaning wipe and changed screen protectors and the issue never came back.
If you have a screen protector on, check this route first. If not, then digitizer it is.

I wouldn't unroot, just flash a stock, rooted ROM. I doubt they're going to look at your Hboot or anything. This way, if they get jumpy and update for you, you'll still be S-Off.

MIUI

For some reason, no matter what I do, after I flash miui 1.9.9 on my EVO 4g, it gets stuck on the HTC EVO 4G screen, how do I get this to work?

What recovery are you using? Are you wiping completely? Cache, dalvik, data, system, boot, sd-ext, .android_secure?
Have you tried redownloading the rom or checking that the md5 matches?
If you answered yes to everything, you can always try a different version, like 1.9.2. If you are coming from 1.9.2 and don't normally wipe between builds of MIUI (assuming you only run MIUI like I do), it may be time to do a full wipe. I try to do one at least every 3-4 flashes. By that point I have so many apps I don't use that it does a lot of good to start fresh so I can weed out the useless apps. Plus MIUI can be picky. I've never personally had issues with it, but others have.

I'm coming from End of Days rom, but I flashed 1.9.2 they took 1.9.9 off the site I guess a bunch of people are having problems with it. But thank you

I have the same issue. I am using CWM 5.0.2.2 (I think) and I do a fresh wipe of everything before hand. Should I try Amon RA?

If it's with MIUI 1.9.9, then OP just said that they took it off of the site. Try a different version, like 1.9.2.

Yeah, actually bro, they took 1.9.9 off the site last night, and I flashed MIUI 1.9.2 and it works great, so I would try that if I were you.

I was having the same problem and what I did was just download 1.9.9 from the site, place it on SD, then just flash manually through recovery. Works now. Seems a little laggy though.

THe original release of 9.9 wouldn't flash on anyone's phone. It pretty much took up a few pages at the end of the thread, so good job not reading.
Anyhow, there's a new version on the miui.us site that's been fixed

I literally just made my account on this site yesterday, and it was just to message MagnusRagnarok about Destroyer v2.
That being said, I have never before run MIUI, and when I finally did decide to try MIUI out, it had nothing to do with a thread on this website, so I have no idea what thread you're talking about. So you can take your attitude somewhere else, and we can all be mature and helpful on my thread. Thanks.

Well, it would be thew tread about MIUI, which is a good place to start when you're gonna flash the MIUI ROM you never used before.
Of course, the 3 pages about that problem on MIUI.us site would have been another good place to look. You know, the one titled Hanging On Booth Thread? Or the Impressions thread.
Don't give me attitude because you were too lazy to actually do a little (needed) research before you blindly (and stupidly) flashed a new ROM.

Look, I'm sorry if I'm short with you, but look to the left and you can see I've been here awhile, I'm very active in these forums and I try to help out as much as I can, but I've seen far too many uneducated questions that could have been avoided by doing a little research before doing something like a completely new ROM that you have never tried before, and I don't feel the need to pull any punched with people like that.

You're hilariously ignorant if you think I "Blindly (stupidly)" flashed a rom without knowing anything about it. Just because I read a site that has NOTHING TO DO with the rom, but rather a community of developers, that really just PORTED the rom some other people made, sooo.. Just because I researched it on the official MIUI site, instead of this one, you're going to falsley accuse me of some crazy ****. You think you're smart because you've been on the site for longer than me, but really you seem to have an inability to read my ****ing thread. I bid you good day sir.

Typical troll, get's called out for doing something wrong and lashes back instead of accepts the fact that he screwed up...

I'm afraid you are ignorant to what a troll is. You see, I was looking on a help forum, for help. If anyone here could be classified as a troll it would be you.

You are so right, with your 10 whole posts....

Yeah, so I'm new to a phone forum. The 15 years I've been browsing the rest of the internet and making 90$ an hour programming doesn't show anything. You know, you would do well to watch how you treat others because you know nothing about them. Just because you may know more about a specific problem than me doesn't make me any less of something than you, it just makes me less qualified to answer that specific question. If you asked me for help.regarding something you couldn't do... I would help you without question, especially considering I had the problem solved before you even posted on the thread.

[CONFIRMED] Rooting causes LoS

I saw earlier that people were saying that rooting the epic touch 4g may NOT be the cause of LoS. But I'm here to tell you that I only got the LoS after I rooted. All I did was root and install honeycomb battery + crt animation. The LoS was getting ridiculous, so I went back to the stock kernel and I'm LoS free. Just letting you guys know, this IS a root issue and it should be stated clearly for those who are considering rooting. I think it will just cuase a lot of grief for users if they are not properly warned, so please do so guys.

its not confirmed unless you have thousands of independent tests

Just a warning, you're about to get flamed for posting this in the development section. With that said, I too never received an LoS until the day after rooting the phone (had it for two weeks with no issues). Installing the LoS kernel has helped a ton, though.

i can also confirm that rooting caused my phone to experience an endless onslaught of LoS occurances. I had the phone for a month without any LoS issues, only ****ty battery life (losing 6-8%/hr idling over night). The day I rooted the phone, i experienced LoS three times. Installing the lostkernel helped and I only got one in three days, but I ended up switching to the EVO 3D since I coudl not stand the battery life.

I have never once had LoS, on either stock put root. I am one of the lucky ones. However in have read there are people out there that have LoS without routing, so I am not sure your confirmation is 100%.

Unless you can explain why my COMPLETELY STOCK phone got struck with the LOS bug, then no, rooting is not the cause. It may TRIGGER the LOS bug, but it is NOT THE CAUSE.
Please try to do a data profile clear/update, that's what fixed my phone.

sorry before hand but whats los? loss of service??????

I experienced LoS before and after root. Now I know what it means when I read "your milage may vary ".
Now to another issue, just because your phone is showing reception or 1 bar doesn't mean you haven't LoS... lol, only way to find out is by placing a call...
Samsung is very good with destroying its reputation... Before it was their lazy late updates, now defective devices... I was 100% set to get Galaxy Nexus, then I heard Samsung... Hmmm makes me think three times and looking to alternatives, definitely will wait atleast few weeks before getting Nexus.
I would compare samsung to a sexy sl*t lol

Wrong section
wrong info
Horrible logic
Just total overall fail
One case does not mean confirmation, plenty of people on stock are getting this problem.

[CONFIRMED] You're an Idiot....
Root and go back to stock kernel... or use the repack, bet yu have the same rate of LoS...its not rooting, kernels built from source have been shown to increase it. Even unrooted kernels... please do som research and get the facts straight before posting incorrect info.. especially in the wrong section...

y0sup, please post your full analysis, your abstract seems to be based on simple test/retest validity of one instance. I would like to see your lit review, research design, sample size, data analysis, findings, and any appendices you may have to support your hypothesis.

in my experience.. after I rooted.. I got one LoS and my Battery drained faster..

The size screen stay the same when I flash back a Sense 3 Rom as Revo HD & others.
Have you any idea?
Thanks

Edit:
Something strange, when I take a screenshot the size is 480*800... :/

That's perfectly normal it's supposed to look like that.

Are you sure!?
I haven't already noticed that during 15-16 months :/

Hey,
i have the same issue since i flashed LeeDroid v5.1 and 5.1.1 (i still have the Rom and the issue). I remember that some time ago Lee had some wrong drivers for the touchscreen in his rom that had the same effect. It was in his v.3.. i think. But after an update it dissapeared. I never read of others users mentioned this for LeeDroid v.5.
As Lee's Rom is not an ICS Version, i think that it doesn't have something to do with ICS. I hope somebody knows how to help us
EDIT: While thinking about Lee's Touchscreen drivers i am not sure if it the problem was that 1mm of the screen was missing at the edge or that the screen didn't react on touchinputs at the edge of the screen. But its a fact that my screen looks like yours! And it didn't look like that all the time and with all the other roms i had.

Here you go i'm using miui v4 btw but i just checked and it was the same on gingerbread. The reason they did this was because of when you tilt the device slightly you still see the full screen as the screen is slightly below the glass your pressing on.

The 1mm gap is 100% not normal. After flashing a sense4 rom i could see how it hapens. After the reboot the screen just got small. There is now a 1mm free black space at the right side off the desvice and an 0.3mm space on the top of the device. The "black spaces" are touch responsive. Thats a driver issue.

Here you go.
PS: I dislike you XD, na just joking tho i didn't notice before and now i do......

It's not a resolution issue but aspect ratio issue...i don't think it's that big of a deal but do you get same results with GB roms?

Turn DHD over
Heya, just noticed that on the back of the phone says HTC.
J/K

1mm
So there is an fix for that? Because i think thats not an hardware issue. It happened when flashing primoS v3.3 Sense rom.

@Xinos, thanks I have't seen this thread yet
@shad0wboss, Yes I have same issue with GB. But I don't think I had it with official or before use Sense 4! here is the point

Don't take this the wrong way but it's all in your head you noticed this when you flashed sense 4 and you were expecting bugs. So you notice smaller things including screen miss-alignment.
Trust me if everyone had this problem you would see alot more questions in this subject. Be my guest tho and do a factory reset, but i'm pretty sure it's a hardware fault that has always been there you just never noticed before like i did damn you (T_T) .

Then what's stopping you from fully resetting your device that should fix it shouldn't it?
I really don't care what you do i'm just giving my piece of advice, one thing you could try is going into boot loader mode (power down device and then press on button+volume down) if it still has it that means youre device has a miss-aligned screen.

^^
Stay calm men
I have to try to flash a Ruu on my device and see if the "problem" change. Maybe this is not a problem
We have to see. But if we found a man which hasn't it can we call that a problem?

It's not only the primos rom. I've realized this since this thread is started and I'm on IceColdSandwich.
How ever, you have to send it to HTC cause of the issue and use your warranty. There is nothing you can do with flashing a new ruu oder rom.

But how this can be? Some magic troll got under the screencover and made the screen smaller? Because the screen is not moved in the device or anything. I know that there is an hardware issue on some phones that the screen is wrong aligned but thats not our case, because the screen got 1mm smaller on each side of the phone. its most likley an software issue.

Has any of you tried boot loader mode? If the issue still persist over there it's a hardware fault as you can't change the boot loader.

Getting a One X, should I update it?

So tomorrow I have a HTC One X being delivered
Super-excited, but I have one question - should I update it when I get it or leave 'as is'. Reason being as I don't want to prevent any possibility of being able to put CFW on the device. Give or take a few weeks I'll probably jump off Sense and go for Cyanogen or something.
I know this a very noob question - it's just I'm not familiar with this particular device - rather the Xperia Play and Wildfire
Also, any things I should know?
Thanks!

You can update it, it should'nt do any difference. But remember you can be charged for repairs from htc if you do. I did, they changed the motherboard but I still got it for free.
You could wait for s-off. _If_ they manage to crack the damn thing, you won't loose the warrany because the bootloader is still locked.
Must still must say that sense is really good, and the 2.05 coming soon is superb, and so far I havent rooted again yet.
Hope it helps you decide.

Don’t unlock it right away, because like Sckank said you’ll loose warranty. There are some common hardware issues with the phone (i.e WiFi antenna problems), look in the general section to find out more, so wait a while and test everything out before you attempt it, or better yet wait for S-OFF (which is what I’m doing).

hi,
became confused... :S
if was possible to make s-off you don't lose the warranty?
i know that you can reverted to s-on again ...but they will notice or not?
the bootloader can be relocked or isn't the same thing?

Nope if they can s-off then s-on is no problem and you're completely back to stock. And you don't have to agree to that you loose your warrany. And they can't see that.
Nope not the same thing, they will see that. It will say "relocked", not locked.

when you unlock without s-off, you need to pass through htc-dev, which will make it record your unlock status. and also, when you relock your bootloader, it will display "Re-Locked Bootloader" instead of :Locked Bootloader". With s-off, none of them will change.
EDIT : beaten. haha.

Still, a more complete answer about htc dev

thanks to both

Thanks guys!
I'll go ahead and update for now then.
I got my new phone this morning, unfortunately it has some nasty 'backlight leak' along the bottom of the screen so O2 are getting a replacement out to me tomorrow. It's a gorgeous phone, just hoping the replacement doesn't suffer the same problem...
It's pretty minor and I'm perhaps a little OCD but I showed someone else and they were like "it's all wavy "

Thanks guys!
I'll go ahead and update for now then.

that's normal isn't it? ive had 6 and its been on every one of them, don't keep your hopes up for getting one that doesn't have it.
edit: saying that, im looking now and i can't see it.. weird.

I think it generally affects white and brighter backgrounds. I thought it might be 'normal' when I found various threads about 'stagelight' backlight leak, though this was after I'd given O2 a quick ring. Can't cancel the replacement now, just hope it's not a refurb replacement.
Not *too* bothered about it... it seems to have lessened since I first booted it up oddly.
All being said, I would consider this to be a defect really - the only time I've seen 'stagelight' bleed like this was after I had a smartphone go through the wash. HTC need to improve the manufacturing process considering the cost of these handsets near half a grand.
