Hello,
For the last few days now my phone keeps randomly pushing the menu bottom for no reason!? I've tried several roms and I'm having the same issue. I have one of those expensive screen protectors on, but I don't think that is the issue. Sometimes all of the compasitive buttons lock up and I have to lock the screen and then unlock it for them to get back to working?

I have this same issue. I've done some research and it appears to be a hardware glitch that happens when you have low signal. I've seen some reports of people bringing up the issue with Sprint/Samsung and they will replace the phone. I haven't taken the time to try that yet, since it only happens very infrequently for me.
lol awesome, this started happening to me maybe 2-3 weeks ago and i had thought i sat down too hard on my phone and messing up the menu button. originally i thought i was able to replicate the problem just by holding the phone vertically and rocking it back and forth. i'm glad to see others are having this same issue (well not really glad, just relieved its not a hardware issue).
i am experiencing the same issues the OP is.. menu button randomly pressing itself and all buttons being locked up requiring a lock screen then unlock to get things back to working.

can you point me to the other reports of this issue?
Thanks guys. I just don't have the time to take in my phone in. I normally have about 3 or more bars of service and it was still locking up on me. it's getting really annoying. Maybe I can just call it in? Who knows? They always give me a hard time! If anyone finds a better solution please let me know. Thanks!
I have been using the HOX for over 2 months now but this morning my phone display suddenly doesn't turn on even the backlight key still on and touchscreen still work ( when I sweep my finger up the unlock sound still play, and I can even adjust the volume of the phone, etc... ) I have no ideas if this is a software or hardware problem and how to solve it, I'm still on Stock Rom, Stock Kernel,... Please help me
try to reboot pressing power button for 10 seconds, if it'll not work, it can be hardware problem, as i understood you haven't unlocked it, so you can send it to htc and they will repair it, or if you can, you can change it by yourself,
have you tried starting in bootloader and factory resetting?

Yeah I tried to reset the phone, ai first it worked. But when I turn the screen off and doesn't use it for a few minutes, the problem is back again, It's really odd, I have heard about lots of HOX Screen problem but I haven't seen this one before
So the screen works in bootloader?

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Really weird, it feels like the phone has woke up but the display still "think" that it still in standby mode
Hardware fault for sure.
Same Problem
Hey, ive been using my international HTC One X for about two months too now and there have been no problems. ever since the update to 4.0.3 ive been facing exactly the same problem. The screen does not turn on a lot of the time but the touch is active. Have you found any solution to it?
It would be great if you could help me out.
Thanks

I have the same problem now. Using it completely stock, the screen doesn't turn on. Well.... Except for the times I visit the Vodafone shop to get it fixed....
Their first reaction was a defect in the screen, so they ordered a new one. I brought it yesterday again and it is now in for repair.
I don't know if this will solve the problem. How did they fix yours?

I get my HOX fixed last week and I worked normally again. But after 2-3 days, the problem is back again. I contact HTC and they said they even replaced my MOTHERBOARD and Screen. Wtf is happening???

hey guys
I had this problem a month ago, i know its frustrating.
anyway the only solution is factory rest from boot loader and flash RUU (worked for me)
the first time i had it, i did a factory reset, all my pics music were gone, phone went back to normal( stock, locked)
after a day the problem appeared again, second rest.
flashed RUU and the problem is gone. thanks god i have been using my HOX about a month science that problem and every thing is working great.
im sure its a software issue and I recommend every one to back up their files(pics,music)
just flash RUU and good luck
Lol, exactly the issue I had recently had with mine. Sent it backto htc, let's see what they would do about it.

My colleque has the same issue with his One X.
It started with suddenly everything on his screen looking "zoomed in", so everything double size, looking ugly as a mofo, and not usable. After locking the sceen and unlocking again, it was fine.
Monday suddenly also screen didn't want to turn on anymore. Did the hard reboot for him, and it worked again... Untill he locked his screen and wanted to unlock, same issue.
Also, that time when doing the hard reboot, screen didn't turn on at all. Did another one, and worked again.
He's now sent it in for repair, this definately sounds like ahrdware issue, even full reset through bootloader didn't help.

Yup, exactly the same problem I'm having, I sent it to HTC, they said they fixed it by replacing the motherboard, but now it is happening again, I will have to send to HTC again.
This just happened to my phone... Has anyone else solved it? Is reset and flashing RUU the solution?

I have the same problem right now.
It started last week when I was using Flipboard and suddenly everything started zooming in and stuff (same as mhulsegge above). It was resolved by locking my screen and unlocking it.
Last night, i've been getting the black screen when I try to unlock my phone. The touchscreen still works but the screen is just blank. It turns on if I keep locking and unlocking, but it's getting annoying.
My phone is an international One X (duh) bought in Hong Kong and I'm currently living in Canada so it would not be possible to send it back for repairs. Plus my phone is rooted and I am currently using the latest MIUI ROM (2.9.21). I have been using an app called "Sleep" which tracks your sleeping patterns. It requires you to place your screen face down on your bed when you sleep and the accelerometer will track your sleeping patterns and wake you up at the most optimal time. I assume that for the accelerometer to work the screen has to be on, so I am wondering if this can be a screen malfunction (overheat or overuse) problem since the screen has been on for so long (every night when i sleep for around a month).
Since sending it back is out of the question for me because of where I am living right now and I have voided my warranty, I am downloading other ROMs as we speak and seeing if it is a problem with my ROM. I will keep you guys posted.
-edit- I have tried factory reset and reinstalling my ROM (with a full wipe). Still doesn't work.
It´s probably not your rom since I use CM10 hand have the same problem and others have even been running stock and had this problem. The only one who seems to have solved this (at least in this thread) flashed RUU, so guess I´ll go try that now...
Would be great to hear if anyone else has solved it, and how!
edit: This has to be a hardware problem, if I push on the screen it starts working! Its like something is loose, and when i press on the screen it gets connected again.

Good tip, but I tried a gentle two-fingered push (zoom pinch) and the backlight turned itself on with very little pressure, certainly not enough to flex the screen. I believe that it is a state issue related to zoom, but will try again and report if the issue returns.
Screen black after replacement lcd display unit
Hi,
My HOX touchscreen was broken, the touch and everything was still working. I ordered a replacement lcd display Unit and replaced the complete display and touch. After replacement the screen is completely black but the phone still works. The touch buttons on the bottom still work and i can use the volume buttons. I replaced the lcd display unit very carefully and i am sure nothing is broken etc. So the touch is working but the screen is black. I tried 2 display units and both show me a black screen.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Did i forget to do something during the replacement?
Please, i need some help with this issue.
OneX has too much issue with Screen . WTF with HTC?
My Captivate Glide's screen does this whenever I turn it on:
I didn't drop it or get it wet, it just started doing this randomly.
I live in the UK and ordered the phone unlocked over eBay so I can't take it into an AT&T store, sadly.
Do you guys know if there's anything I could do myself or anything someone more experienced in repairing mobile phones could do to fix the screen?
This is bearing in mind that not many people over here have seen one of these phones though.
Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks guys.
you was using still GB right? just flash ics via odin, with one click or with a tar file
This is UCLH2 without one click
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09/...ota-stock-rom/
And here is the latest version with bug fixes (like keyboard light)
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11/...ptivate-glide/
and there is for one click
http://www.androidauthority.com/captivate-glide-sgh-i927-att-android-4-0-4-ics-uclg9-leak-110365/
i think that only one click wipe your internal storage. but is the bes (in my opinion). try it, dont have anything to lose
No, I already updated it to ICS. Should I reinstall it? Will that fix the screen? How will I manage to do it with the screen all messed up?
if you can put in download mode, then you can. Its weird because i only see that problem with GB. Put in download mode and then reinstall
I just tried putting it into download mode but I get the exact same thing.
Thats weird, the problem is weird because it never happen to me in download mode, maybe you can try it without battery, or let the phone without battery a couple of hours, etc.
Dont Know what you cand o, because if you cant enter in download mode, you will be no able to flash ICS
Hrm... that purple splotch in the bottom left of the screen doesn't look so good... Almost appears as if it had been dropped on that corner at some point in the phone's history. I am tempted to say that is a hardware issue, though. Reminds me of when the flex cable for my laptop's display started shorting out many years ago. Might be repairable, but, might be a costly repair depending on what all needs to be replaced. I can't imagine replacing the software on it will do much, though, sorry to say. You could give it a shot, you can verify if your phone made it into download mode without the display by loading up odin and seeing if it detects under that, and then running the one click install (or any other since you'd have odin running anyway) but I wouldn't expect much.
If you're not getting the Samsung/Rogers logo screen, you're done. Either the screen is physically damaged, or the bootloader is corrupt. There's no saving that one, sadly.
yes, try what Artemis-kun say. put in download mode and connect, and see if odin detected. Or maybe just turn on the phone and wait a little, then try to call to your phone, if the phone ring or appears to be on, then is a hardware problem.
But try what Artemis-kun, maybe you have luck
PD: now i see better the image and it seems little different from what it happens to me. if you turn on, inmediatly happen that? or screen banish slowly?
AW: [Q] Screen's gone fuzzy and weird - need help please
There should be a cable, connecting the hardware to the display. Maybe it loosened, you should check out the video of a guy tearing his glide apart, hopefully youll find something to repair there.

Hey guys, you'll be glad to hear I finally fixed my Glide by installing a new screen assembly from Repairs Universe.
Hi everyone,
Galaxy note 8 , Since i purchased the screen becomes unresponsive after the lock screen but as soon as i put it back to sleep and unlock again comes back to normal, Is this due to a hardware fault or is it a known bug.
Thanks

Hi Dandun,has this been happening since you unboxed your device? If a factory reset doesn't fix it i'd take it back for an exchange
I think you should restart your device. If it continues, there is a hardware failure.
Does anyone else still have this problem?
My note 8 will erratically become unresponsive where the only inputting it allows is via the S-pen. Or i turn it off and on again.
This is becoming quite annoying and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have done a factory reset and the problem still occurs.
Perhaps it's an app that you installed? I'd check by uninstalling all apps and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you know it was one of your apps and you'd probably have to find out which one by trial and error.
If not, then it's probably defective and I'd take it back for an exchange.

Thanks for the reply. I just did a factory reset again and it happened immediately after it automatically updated all the preloaded apps. Looks like I'll take it back on Monday for an exchange.
Has anyone else had an issue where the lock screen is unresponsive after you turn it back on? Here's the scenario:
1. Using tablet.
2. Let the screen time out normally or press the power button to turn off the screen.
3. Wake the tablet either with power or home buttons.
4. Screen is completely non responsive. Doesn't register any of my touches on the screen. Have to power off and on the screen multiple times before it allows me to unlock the screen. Orientation doesn't seem to matter.
I have a brand new WiFi only edition, model P600. I immediately did the three small OTA updates Samsung pushed to me as soon as I first turned the tablet on, but I'm pretty sure it was happening before, as well.
Anyone else? Haven't seen mention of this issue here so far.

Never had this problem on my Note 10.1
Yours could be a just a software issue - Try doing a factory reset and see if its anyway better if not then go back and get it exchanged.
P.S I have had this issue just recently on my S3 and this was after doing a recent update (which then got cancelled due to it causing lag and errors on peoples S3's) so I just need to find the time to factory reset it and all should be good (in theory)

Yeah, I was afraid of that. No joy on the factory reset. I'm rooted and so the Knox stuff is tripped and shows "modified." Hope that doesn't come back to bite me. (Btw, issue was apparent from first boot - before I rooted.) I'm about to go find the factory firmware and ODIN it back on here so at least there's no trace of SuperSU and all the bloatware is back. I think my parents got the Note from Amazon, so hopefully they won't look too closely anyway.
Thanks for the reply.
FWIW, I've tried factory reset, flashing firmware straight from Kies (UEUBMK1), turning off Smart Stay, Palm motion, Reading mode, and I'm the only user registered on the device. No joy on anything. Just going to have to send it back to Amazon for replacement.
Have you tried disabling Daynote?
I've found that when I freeze Daynote the magnetic sensor from eg the book cover case don't work anymore.
My train of thought is that maybe your magnet sensor is defective and Daynote ends up in an endless loop?

Have not tried this, but now it's too late as we've boxed it for shipping back to Amazon. Thanks for the response, though!
