My Evo 4g is unlocked for metropcs and I had it running on the Energy rom posted by member NRGZ28 and i started getting problems with my touch screen. It would all of a sudden glitch up on me and start launching random apps and typing random letters. I would reboot and everything would be ok for a while. But latter on as i would go to the notification panel the top of the screen would just not respond. I was able to go back and touch other apps and use it that part of the screen in other apps but whenever i touche the top of the screen when on the notification panel or when txting or in the playstore it woud just not respond. So i got upset and wiped everything and installed a different rom and all of a sudden the same problem occurred. I dont know what to do. Could it be the Kernel? Or is it that i need to wipe something else off my phone? I an really frustrated and i dont know what to do.
Your screen digitizer is going out. For example, say you have a .txt document open and touch the top part, it won't respond. So you scroll down a bit and touch the same spot, and it responds. Its a fix you could do at home. Plenty of YouTube videos and parts are pretty cheap.

Sorry for bump, but didn't seem to be resolved.
It could very well be your kernel. I've had this problem before but after experimenting with some roms, I've found sense is the best way to go.
I know Energy runs Sense 3.5, dunno if that could be the culprit, depends on the kernel.
I'm using DigitalKarma v8 Reincarnation and have not yet had a touch screen problem. It's running the Underworld kernel.

the android lockscreen seems to think that you messed up when you connect 2 points but you didn't.... it happens every few times you unlock and you have to relock the screen and turn it back on for it to work... im running nebula rom... I hope you guys get what im talking about
Epic
If you are using setcpu make sure you have it set to conservitive and set your min to 2 and max to max. IMOE if you have min set to low it takes a few seconds to recognize your touching the screen.
im not... idk what the problem is it just messes up every once in a while and it wont work untill I relock the screen I think its a problem with DK28 because I've had this issue on other rims to... thanks for the suggestion tho.
Epic
That is possible I have seen issues where the screen wont respond to touch unless you lock and unlock but I think it was on every version /rom I have tried. Have not yet seen this issue on viperrom (day 5)
do you use the android pattern lockscreen? that's what im talking about

Yes my old lady is nosey and it drives her nuts that she cant figure out my lock code.
Some googleing shows a few people having a similar issue does your homescreen freeze also?
no my homescreen doesn't freeze that's really the only problem im having with the dk28 rims... I like to have that so other people don't go thru me stuff especially my parents

Ok seriously its ROMS not RIMS (rims are for your car/glasses) if using swype just type roms and hit space it will add it to your dictionary. Also caps and proper sentence structure will get more people to take you seriously. I dont really care but some of the more knowledgeable people can be Nazi's about that kinda stuff. Also read your typing before you hit send, this is not a txtmsg, it will help others with the same problem. Not trying to be a **** or anything just my $0.02.
As far as I can tell this seems to be an issue with android in general if your homescreen is not freezing also. If homescreen is freezing too sprint should replace the phone. Just Odin back to DI18 before you take it in. Sorry I could not be more helpful on this one.
Haha sorry im using the gingerbread keyboard that corrects everything.

Gotta say I don't the gingerbread keyboard as much as I like swype.
I have that problem as well. It has been happening a lot since I've been on Bonsai 2.0.1. Didn't happen much at all on the various Viper roms. And I use an unlock pattern. I have to turn the screen off, then back on and retry before it registers correctly. Strange.
Aha so im not the only one good I just didn't want it to be only my phone doing it phew!

Didn't look super hard but have you guys tried adding to the bonsai issues page. been trying for like 30 mins and cant get it to duplicate on viper 4.0.3. or the old lady's Epic on nebula. My kids are both on stock DK28 and can get it one out of ten times.
EDIT: Kids are on stock DI18 not DK28.
Thinking back my moment did the same thing and I was never able to solve it. Any dev's want to chime in on this?
Ok so I realize that this is almost positively a hardware issue, however I just wanted you guys' opinion. So its happened 1 or 2 times before but a simple reboot has fixed it usually, until today when it has gotten really bad all of a sudden. The issue is that randomly, my phone will act like it is being touched on the screen and will either select something or not let me touch what I'm trying to touch. In fact as I'm typing this with the phone's keyboard my phone keeps thinking I'm touching the discard button (which I'm not, obviously) And I've noticed that its always in the bottom left corner of the screen in portrait mode. This is causing me to sometimes not be able to move icons or unlock the phone or scroll through pages because the phone thinks I'm like multi touching the screen in the corner. This happened for a while earlier this week until I pulled the battery. Then this morning it got terrible enough that I could barely use my phone at all even after multiple reboots and fixing permissions. I even went so far as odining back to stock EC05 and OTA updating to EL30, from EG22. ( haven't had time to update to an official build until now. ) again it obviously isn't a software issue but I don't know what I should do, like get a new epic (which I really don't want to) even though this hasn't been a problem until very recently and I don't remember anything damaging my phone. Anyways just thought I'd share my problem with you guys to get any suggestions. And sorry for how long the post is.

I have had this happen... wasn't a hardware issue for me, but it may be for you... I fixed it by turning off the screen (locking the phone) and cleaning the screen off thoroughly.... it fixed the issue... it may not fix it for you though... hopefully its that easy... for me it was some dirt or something on the screen making it "think" I was touching that spot when I wasn't... hope that's all it is for you...

Out of curiosity does this only occur while charging or always?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It happens always. On and off the charger. And I don't think its that easy as I had a screen protector on it and I thought it could be something like dirt under the screen protector causing it to freak out but I took off the protector and its still happening. Looks like I need a replacement... ):

if it was hardware, you wouldn't have even been able to type your post from your xda app.
All of a sudden regions of my screen are not responding to touch and it seems like the calibration is off. For instance, when typing, the backspace is always typing the letter 'L' above and I'm unable to pull the notification bar down (it thinks I'm touching below it).
Is my phone toast, or is there a way to recalibrate the screen?
Did you try the touch calibration under language and keyboard? Are you stock, rooted sense, or AOSP?
Sent from my Droid.
I'm rooted, on Aerovan's CM7.2. About 5 minutes ago the notification bar was working fine, but then I locked the phone and it stopped working again. When I touch the notification bar, it thinks I'm touching below it.
I've tried formatting and loading default CM7.2 to no avail. Dipped phone in dry rice all last night to no avail.
Not sure what to try at this point. I can't find any calibration tools in the Settings, including the one in the keyboard/input area.
also happening for me

I haven't run CM7.2 for a while, so I can't remember if there is a keyboard calibration like in Sense (I'm on SkyRaider Zeus). Hopefully someone running it can chime in.
Unfortunately I can't even find Skyraider to download. But this screen issue is bugging me BIG TIME. I have a dialer in the launcher bar at the bottom left that responds when I touch it. If I'm in an app however and touch that area, it doesn't respond.
WTF is going on?!
I've tried reformatting on clean CM7.2 and CM9. Stock is my last hope...

I got skyraider 1.3 from their website but pull down goggles and set up just force closes. I am not the only one. Think they uploaded a bad zip I would love to try again if it worked. I downloaded twice and seen a post today I am not the only one with this issue.
Dude I have so many issues like that, even on pure stock. Idk...but on cm9 I had some serious issues

I have tried searching for this problem but I must be using the wrong terms... so sorry in advance if I missed a post that addressed this issue.
My sprint S3 does this twitchy/glitching thing on every touchwhiz based jellybean rom (does not do it on TW ICS ROMS) I have tried. It basically makes it nearly impossible to do sliding animations, IE it can actually get stuck and start flashing halfway between screens, or when pulling down the top menu, however you can open new programs just fine if you are already on the right screen for them. Luckily it does not do this all the time, but when it happens it keeps doing for 10 minutes or so and its annoying as hell.
I figured this must be a rare issue even though it effects both my wifes phone and mine, since I have never read anything about it, however I just got a new replacement phone and it does the exact same thing, even on dead stock TW JB ROM.
Oddly enough I discovered last night that if I turn on my screen filter app it stops completely, but it starts right back up when I turn off screen filter..... any ideas how to fix this?
Try grabbing cache clear from the play store and set it to run every 12 hours. It helped my phone a good bit.

I had it dude, but it was just on the CleanBean ROM, it was annoying as hell!
So I changed the ROM, Its weird that its happening on a Stock ROM, any suspicious app?
So I've been having some touch problems. I've been texting, and doing normal things, but the problem still persists.
I am running Liquid Smooth RC2, JellyBean 4.2.2 with the latest GAPPS on the T999 S3.
I did not have this problem a few days ago and I was running the same rom. I got the problem yesterday so I reset, factory reset and everything with RC2 again.
Here is a video of the problem. This is just one symptom. I have other issues which includes random clicks on the touch, which activates random apps sometimes that are available on my screen, as well as jitters make things impossible to touch, as well as sometimes not being able to touch things as well. I tried moving apps on my desktop, but sometimes it wasn't responding and I'd have to wait.
Please let me know if you need anymore details.

No help? what a community.
Sounds like a defect that should be covered under warranty, and don't be a ****.
