The phone reacts on its own from time to time. When you're in a menu it opens sub menus and starts to turn things on and off in a really fast way. I don't know what to do. It just happens sometimes but then its really annoying. I had this problem with the latest HTC GB and now with the latest official CM 7.2. So I don't think it's a software problem but hardware problem? It just startet to do that one day. I already cleaned the mouse button with an air-spray but it didn't help. Or maybe its a touchdisplay problem?
Any suggestions? Did anyone ever had something like that?

digitizer problem i think. its the touch section above the LCD which is responsible for detecting touch. its very cheap to get replaced. but i am not sure.

Phantom touches are a digitizer issue usually. There should be a setting in cm7 to show on screen touches. If its showing you touches and your not pushing then replacing the digitizer is your best bet

Hi,
sometimes the touchscreen of my defy stops working (but the phone is not frozen)
and the only way to fix it is to lock/unlock the screen...
does anyone have the same problem (and can help me)?
thanks
P.S
i've had the problem both with stock rom (2.2) and with cyanogenmod rc 1.5
When this happens, do the 4 buttons below your display still give you haptic feedback (little vibration) or do they react not at all?
Also, does this only happen when there's the normal launcher/standby screen active or when there's an other app active too ?
Did you undervolt ?
Edit: Also, this seems to be a hardware problem which seems to be well known in a certain German android forum but I cannot find much about it in here. In short, the digitizer unit seems to be broken for some people and locking/unlocking helps because it disconnects and connects power for the digitizer. The people there fixed the problem by replacing the digitizer (which isn't easy at all!).
It would be nice to have someone from XDA who had this problem before too, to confirm this problem!
First of all, thank you for the answer
When I have the problem, 4 buttons stop working too.
It usually happens after a period of stand-by, i don't undervolt or have some other application running than the launcher (ADWlauncher).
I bought the phone one week ago, if it is an HW problem, i can't repair it by myself...
I'd recommend to wait and see whether xda has other suggestions for you and if not, just check the Motorola hotline and ask whether they know something and if they do change it for free.
Also, what you describe fits perfectly to what I've read elsewhere (don't know whether I'm allowed to post a link here or if it were useful at all because it is in German). So it sounds like your digitizer could really be defect.
ok, even if i hope to solve the problem by myself...
News: They've changed the touch screen, but the problem is still present...
Can it be a sw problem??
Keep sending it back, they will replace it in the end.

Dear aLL
I have been using custom rom (almost all of them) since i bought WFS, Recently it gives very annoying error like below :
Have to try several times to unlock the device
Some keys(w,r,a,d,c) are not working, after some while keyboard goes OK
The most thing is at some moment some place don't response while other do without any problem
Are these all of problem relate to custom ROM or my device getting an issue ?
If so, is there any tools/apps to check the problem finding/resolving ... ?
The problem creating very annoying situation when going to call emergency.
Give me a hand...
I know that there are a lot of phones like your's too
Same here
Same here.I am fed up by this issue.Never works when we are in a hurry. The problem became worse after the 2.3.5 upgrade with the new screen lock. The touch works absolutely perfect most of the times but sometimes it just behave abnormal.Does this have something to do with the internal memory ? .I am thinking of giving the phone to the service center to have a check before the warranty is over. Sometimes if the hands or the ear is wet with sweat the screen gets wet and that will affect touch response but cleaning it seldom helps. sometimes cleaning dust near the sensors helps. Wildfire s owners please share your views.Does rooting helps ? seems not from the OP
Sounds like a hardware issue.
When I first got my wildfire s, I had to get a replacement sent the next day, my problem was when charging, the touch screen would totally do its own thing eg scrolling, selecting icons all by itself, if I tried to scroll or swipe it would go mad and do completely messed up things.
Unplug the charger and it was perfect again, I read some other forums different HTC phones have this issue and seems to be an issue with the phone not being grounded properly.
My replacement was and still is perfect.
If you are still in warranty I would send it into HTC to be checked and repaired.

What do you mean by flash the system.
My WFS behaves the same way, cleaning cache partition and dalvik cache helps but after few days problems show up again: it it very hard to unlock the device, if for instance I ulock it in the phone app, the phonepad wont work. I have to returrn to home and press phone again and then it works. It is very annoyng anyways. Rooting and flashing a custom Rom did not solve my problem.

I would say its probably faulty hardware, if you still got warranty I would suggest using it mate.
I do not think it's faulty HW, actually I did send mine in service and after they did a factory reset the unit was working fine. As I mentioned, after wiping the cache the phone performs very well for a few days, then it starts playing crazy.

Did they fix it? It is very hard to replicate this behaviour. The moment you do a full wipe it is good for some time. All the service centre in Romania did was to re-install the rom and they said it's good...

Get to service center . I think, you couldn't fix it at home.
As I stated before, I already sent it to the service centre. All they did was wiping the device and reinstall the ROM. Does anyone have an explanation as to why the digitizer is sometimes broken and sometimes not?
Clearing the cache solves the problem temorarily, so I don't think it is a HW problem, but maybe I'm wrong...
I just don't wanna go through the trouble of unrooting and returning to stock if I don't have to.

What is digitizing... yes I agree that if its OK for most of the time then it may not be a hardware issue. Still if we go back to the unrooting phase, downgrade from GB 2.3.5... will it solve our problem...../// who knows

i have a strong feeling that this has nothing to do with the hardware.That is why it works "most of the times". The main problem is that we could not replicate the problem to show to the service center people. It happens most of the times but sometimes it will work when we are about to show the problem to somebody.I am on stock 2.3.5 and the problem is a constant head ache for me.I love the phone otherwise,its an awesome phone....
Hi,
am I the only one who's screen sometimes doesn't respond when waking the phone up? When I push the power button another two times it works as it should. I'm on the latest LeeDroid (but it also happened with JDroid).
Anyone else with the same problem?
Thanks!
Just happened to me 10min ago. I tried to wake it and nothing, thought it died. Pressed power a few times and it woke
Hope this can be fixed.

Hm, this is really annoying and I'm not sure whether it's a hardware or software problem since it's always disappearing by switching the screen off and on again...
download a drawing software from the market and make sure every part of your screen takes user touch event.

It's definitely software-related. Since I'm on CM9 (TripNRaVeR) this problem never happened again.
Hey Guys,
Try this for partially non responding htc one x touch screen:
--> Apps
Disable:HTC Weather Provider / HTC weather sync provider / maps / Weather / Weather Widget
Reason: my case: device working ok before upgrades. malfunction was logically software related. Few trial-errors. Solution as indicated.
cheers
This happens if charging through an extension lead. Any other time could just be caused incidental on a software stutter.

Same problem here (still).. Let's hope the Jellybean update will fix it
There are threads like this already.
It does happen to many users. I had this problem too, but it is gone with 2.17 . This is charger related stuff

Hi,
I'v the same problem, my touch screen not responding sometimes, often when unlock my phone with power button.
+, when i touch my screen rapidly, like if i write a msg, my screen also not responding.
I was in CM, ARHD, Carbon ... now i'm in stock, and same problem again. Also, my notification bar doesn't work, no matter the rom
thanks
Noticed something strange for the first time , screen is laggy and not responsive while charging the phone , I think it maybe is the kernel as its the first time to notice this , It happened after flashing franco-r6 kernel and iam using insert coin 6.3.1 Rom
Is this normal ?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
You flashed a ROM, You're not stock therefore you need to consult the dev of that Rom about the issue.
To be fair, I had this issue on stock.. so it probably isn't a problem with the ROM

Yep I get this issue at times as well. Especially when I've left it to charge for a while and try to perform a pattern unlock. Happens about twice a week or so. Screen returns to normal after 10 seconds or so. Weird.
+1 this happens on stock roms all the time. it's intermittent, and often can be temporarily fixed by switching the screen off then on again.
I'm about to send my phone in for repair because of this problem. I actually have a dead patch on the screen which is intermittent. If I go to Developer Options > Pointer Location, and then trace my finger around the screen, I can see the patch where it's not picking up the input. Also sometimes the phone behaves erratically and can become completely unresponsive and flicks back and forth between home screens. Turning the screen off and then on again fixes it temporarily.
Hello,
Recently i opened my HOX to change the battery to a HOX+ one. I succesfully did that, but i think i lost a connection or possibly damaged something that connects my G-Sensor. Does anybody know something about this?
Second question:
Since i installed Sense 5.0, i have this weird lag with the statusbar. It drags down like 5 seconds after i made the swype. It also stays on half of the screen often. Does anybody know how to fix this??
Greetings,
Happiness
Well as for your g sensor it is a common problem I've heard a lot these days..due to updating to sense 5
Your other problem I don't know how to fix..you can try a full wipe and reflash the rom
