Hi all,
First post here and unfortunately not a nice one. I picked up a new HTC 10 on my way through Dubai the other day and its not a happy phone.
Every now and then when I unlock the device it starts registering touches at the top middle of the screen in a very straight line without any input from me. This drags down the notification tray and starts causing havoc. Basically the phone becomes useless and has mind of it own. Turning the screen on and off a few times returns the phone back to normal again. Then a when I unlock the phone again a few minutes later it starts up again. I have tried wiping and resetting the device but nothing.
I have a screen shot of it happening but cant seem to upload it: "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you got a messed up phone. The touch panel is super sensitive in the 10.

Hey guys,
First post on this forum so be gentle
I've had an HTC desire for several weeks now and have to say what a great bit of kit! Does everything you could ever think of so far!
I have had one issue that seems to have started up last night however! It seems that every so often when I return to the home screen a loading box appears briefly and then goes away. If I then check my friend stream etc it shows up as loading. This seems to happen randomly after around ten mins or so. I have tried switching phone off and taking battery out but it still comes up. I even tried the "Magic keys" of vol down, power and trackpad but it still shows up? Does anyone know what this could be that is causing it? It gets a bit annoying having it pop up saying loading after a short length of time!
Thanks in advance for any advice to this noob!
I had it happen a couple of times, no idea why. It eventually stopped happening though.
I also have Loading message sometimes and when it disappears there is also an empty browser window shown for a moment...
I think it try to the home screen again. But I don't know why.

Hi all,
I purchase my Samsung Galaxy Nexus from 3 (Three) UK Store last Thursday. It has been faultless bar the odd hang which taking the battery out has resolved. Im using it on Orange.
However, this morning I picked up my phone and was notified I had the volume bix fix update.
I downloaded and installed the update and all was well for about 20 minutes.
Then my phone started going crazy!
I think its something to do with the screen as it keeps popping up the google search bar and flicking through some options, then the screen stops responding.
Sometimes the phone flicks between home screens partially and make them jiggle!
Locking and unlocking the phone gives me 5-30 seconds of normal use, then the phone goes crazy or just doesnt respond.
Ive turned the phone off and on, removed the battery and even reset it this evening.
It doesnt do it ALL the time, and whenever I try and do it on queue, it doesnt!
Luckily tonight I got video of the phone going crazy.
Can anyone help?
The phone is bog standard, ie no roms/roots etc.
Should I take it back or is there something I can do?
Also, since ive just reset the phone, ive had to set up my mail. Once the phone behaved I put in my account details and then it started popping up the menu button at the top of email, ie to change folders or accounts etc. Deffinately seems to be something with the top of screen.
Thanks

Please check the video out.
Maybe download the original shipping rom from Google and fastboot the image onto the phone and see if the behaviour continues.

This.
There's links to the original roms with or without the volume fix in place which can be found on the development section. I used this to update my gun and its working just fine. I'm also on Three UK and the reason I did this is because even though the volume bug doesn't affect us three users I still like being 100% up to date.

Hi All,
I have a rooted (boot loader unlocked) HTC Wildfire S Marvel (A510E)
It has a strange problem. The lock screen freezes every time after locking and I have to try about 6 to 7 times to unlock it.
This is Common across all the ROMs that I have tried including stock and many Custom ROMs.
Also, two stripes of portion of the phone's screen i.e., upper side and left side doesn't work at all.. Not even touch.
For ex; I can't type alphabets 'q' and 'a' in qwerty keyboard. However, display is working. not touch.
The warranty of phone is expired and I really want to know if there is any way that I can fix either or both of these problem in home.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Kindly inform me if I posted this question in wrong area as I am totally new to this forum.
The lockscreen 'freeze' generally happens to everyone,even me,when I use the scary governor.It also happens for stock users.Did your screen die due to excess heat at that area I.e.do you use it in extremely hot conditions?
Lock screen > Grounding issue
I bought Wildfire S day before (New but without warrenty) and it was working very good. When i charge it full and then started using it its lock screen in not responding well. After doing 5-6 retries i was on the home page. Opened menu and tried to click on Favourites or Downloaded icons, it not working. Sometime it does but i cant open downloaded apps page. Similarly its back button is totally not working.
I charged it from my other HTC charger and then then problem was over. I worked well. But again after some time same problem started. I have searched over internet and seen similar problem in HTC Sensation for grounding. And there is a way out given too... But no such procedure can be applied to Wildfire S.
Can anyone suggest any solution?
Thnx.. Nope..

Thnx for the reply... Nope.. It started to behave that way after I dropped it once.. I didn't drop it from distance.. It was just a small impact....

Maybe you damaged the digitizer. Search for a new digitizer on net and replace it yourself. You can find guides for it online.

HTC phones have severe problem of screen not responsive when connected to a power source, may it be a USB or a charger. I had that problem before I got my phone serviced. It was completely resolved.
Just use original charger and make sure the power plug you are using has proper wiring. I mean proper earthing.
I faced same problem few months ago,I send it in HTC customer care .they replaced front panel

Hi i have this supper anoying problem after 5.0.2 update! So basicaly What it does is when ever i will pick up the phone it would turn off like the screen would dim (not rebbot or shut down) and after a little tapping on a screen it would turn on again and sometimes when it does that it would glitch a little. While typing this it happened twice its sooooo anoying idk what to do now if i wont find any solutions i will just buy samsung galaxy or something like that. Also my carrier is Virgin Mobile thanks
Same problem, same phone.
Definitely annoying! Seems random but especially while rotating for me. I have not been able to dig up any solutions thus far.
Check out your proximity sensor settings in the HTC testing app, or try Gravity screen. Mine did the same thing a couple times, also clean off your screen at the very top left, if you look real good you can see the sensor just under the front camera hole in the glass, also sometimes a screen saver will mess with this sensor. One more thing is the stock lock screen can cause an issue similar to what you are talking about, hope one of these help yo out, cane0716

hi
thanks for information i already gave that phone to my friend and i think he fixed it by actually having different lock screen i currently have samsung galaxy s5 its wayyyy better lol
Phone turns off during use and will not complete boot unless plugged to charger even when the battery is almost full.
This error started last night after I did factory reset because of observed phone lag. I did mistakenly "wiped internal storage" but got the alert of "no OS during reboot", so I restored from my backup from SD.
the phone started properly but went off during initial setup and will go back off each time I tried turning it back on. I thought it was battery so I plugged it to power.
it did boot but will go back off once I have few touches on the screen.
I had to leave it plugged to setup my accounts else it will go off.
I'm using its Wi-Fi to send this message via my PC because any 2 - 3 touches will switch the phone off.
once it does that, it won’t even boot to bootloader before it goes off again unless plugged to power.
what I do to solve this please??

Have you checked the screen timeout settings in settings/display & gestures? That's the most likely possibility.
It's not a timeout problem for me.
My timeout settings are at one minute or more and the screen will blank on me in the middle of active use. If I tap the power button repeatedly (the number of times required varies, but it takes fewer if the taps are spaced by a second or so), the screen will come back on, but more often than not, the screen will black again immediately (i.e. in the middle of the unlock process). The screen blacks, but remains responsive to touch. If I tap where a button was before pressing the power button, when I can see again, the app (or launcher screen) has changed accordingly. The problem has gotten more frequent, to the point that my phone is almost unusable as of yesterday afternoon.
I have tried a factory reset as of this morning, which didn't remove the problem. My battery seems to be OK. I'm still getting roughly the same battery life I've always had. I'm stuck, and I'm not finding abundant references to it anywhere, so any help would be appreciated.
A brief history of my interaction with this problem: I bought the phone used about 3 months ago. about 3 weeks in, the blanking problem started to appear, but only in landscape mode apps (games). This was not frequent until about a month ago, when it started becoming more frequent and affecting everyday activity, not just games. About 3 weeks ago, I started having problems with image persistence (which may not be relevant, but I'm not sure either way). Yesterday afternoon it started blanking repeatedly. Restarting the phone had helped in the past, but not this time. Leaving the phone shut down for 2-3 hours also failed.
I am getting very frustrated, and I really like this phone.
Please help, if anyone can.
Thanks very much.
