Apps random minimize

Hello everybody,
today I have to ask if somebody has a solution for me
When I click sometimes on different apps just with the finger they minimze. I don't know why is there a special gesture or something? Its really strange..
FTouchFlo is disabled of course..
But maybe my device is just going to die

You know what, i have had that happen to me too!! Mine mostly happens when I press the centre key in the dpad, but i think it has happened one other time when i didnt use that key too.
I dont think its your device, might be something that has to do with WM6.1. Never had that happen in WM6.0.

This behavior is very strange..
I didn't noticed it with the dpad keys yet, just when pressing the touch screen somewhere.. It also seems to happen more often when the memory is very full or pressing on the right screen edge. Regards

This happens also to me When I am in the PIE, and making the scroll down in the Scrollbar and press the black right screen edge.

Well, didn't found any solution yet but will looking for..

I agree with ICE, it does happen to me when using touch screen also. Maybe its an alignment issue?

It is an alignment issue! I am having this too! Touch screen smoetimes thinks that you press upper corner of the screen! I think this is Windows Mobile problem but also it may be a hardware issue!

I guess early WM6.0 releases had some screen alignment issues, but the more i read, it is related to hardware issue...LOL

I have the same problem!!!
Never had screen alignment issues, but my screen has damages from stylus on the "X" button from pressing there and on the scroll bar from scrolling while surfing the internet, I think that is the cause of the problem with my device..
I must say it is really annoying and made me realize I will NEVER use stylus in my life..
Just my 2 cents..

I've noticed the same problem occasionally, and from memory it (maybe) happened a lot more on some of the early WM6.1 ROMs. I haven't noticed it for a while though.

Do you think its the same as in the wiki? HT646 on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Problems
Where the right corner keeps touching. If you've got any xbutton installed, its bound to minimize. Some of the problems farther down link this to the screen heating up and eventually not working till it cools down.

Well it happens even in the morning when the phone is fully charged, and hasnt been used/touched/handled in over 8 hours, so I doubt its a heat issue.
Shamanix, are you saying this whole problem may be caused by the HTC X Button software?

Happens to me also but only since I switched to 6.1 ROM's

I also had this issue on 6.0.
Can't really believe that this is an hardware bug, maybe a special hermes "feature"
Yesterday, when I was scrolling over the edge I saw the x button going down *lol*
Would be interesting if kaiser users have the same problems.

No I am not saying it is because of X-Button software... I said that I have damaged my screen when I was pressing "X" and "OK" button with stylus in the top right corner and that I have damaged right part of the screen where the scroll bar is again with stylus while I was surfing the web and scrolling so now when I press over the damaged area ( right side of the screen ) I can see X button going down just like Pay said..
So my problem is in damaged screen...
You can`t see the damage, but you can feel it with the stylus...

i have apps closing in random occasions as well. it didn't happen before using wm6.0 but it happened on almost every wm6.1 rom i flashed. i try avoiding the htx x button so i don't think it's related to it.

Im on WM6 with ftouchflo enabled and x-button bind to close apps. Happens to me also sometimes A bit annoying but I think I'll manage.

There appear to be many issues concerning the screenpart of the Hermes. I am not suggesting that this problem actualy is one of them but you might have a closer look to the space between the screen and the plastic of the housing. My whitescreenissues and the screen alignmentissues many people suffer from are caused by the thin layer of foam that HTC sticks the screen to the housing with. I recently put some new foam/tape in between and it helped me with my whitescreen issues. In the beginning I put to much and at that time touching the top plastic parts caused all sorts of reactions normally caused by touching the screen,.
Just a thought...

Horizontal line not responding to touch

My whole screen is responding to my touch in the sense that the screen recognizes that i have touched it i.e. buttons can be pressed and pages can be swiped left to right and up and down, However one portion of the screen with no appearence defects whatsoever just doesnt respond to touch, its the whole portion (horizontally from one side of the screen to the other) where the power off button is when the power button is held. The pixels are fine but it refuses to respond at all.
Any advice before i send it off for repair?
Ive tried restarting the phone and whatnot but it has made no difference.

Do you mean the status bar area? I had that and I just had the phone replaced.

No, you know the bit where it says power off? The whole button along with everything to the left and right is unresponsive

What's weird is that it started working then stopped again it's done that twice now. I hate intermittent errors as they tend to overlook them in repair...

Horizontal strip not registering touch
Woke up this morning, a strip in the middle of the screen stopped registering touch .
Factory reset did not help..
Any ideas, before I send it to HTC for a repair?
unrooted, stock 4.0.4

I tried everything, I sent it to htc and they fixed it within 10 days

[Q] lcd (but not touch screen) turns off when slider moved

So my screen turns off (but is still active) when the slider is nudged a bit (either when closed or open). I've never dropped it and didn't update firmware. Pretty sure its faulty but just wanted to check if anyone else had the same problem. Oh because the phone thinks screen is on to get it back I have to press the power button twice (once to lock then unlock) this works most of the time but not always in which case I have to pull the battery.

Like this?

Similar but much worse. It takes that much movement to make the screen go off but once off it doesn't come back until you press power button twice ( and sometimes not even then)
I think I'll have to send it off for repair which is a right pain as I won't have my awesome phone for ages.

When i had that problem it only took the a week to repair it

[Q] One V Key ring alternative, ACCEPT DECLINE dead

I have a problem with One V. The 'Ring Key' which has to be slid upwards to unlock the phone is not functioning smoothly. It takes multiple efforts to unlock, which means when a phone call comes, by the time I fiddle and unlock the call is dead.
Another problem, the Red DECLINE and Green ACCEPT buttons to decline/accept phone calls are dead.
I was till now unlocking the phone by pulling the ring upward and activating/answering the call. Now it has become difficult to answer a call.
The phone is out of warranty. Is there any software solution I can look for? I tried WidgetLocker but it does not allow you to answer a call by unlocking.

Actually, I have MyOneV RC9.5 FX+ rom and that same problem happens to me quite often (several times per day). Phone starts ringing and when I try to slide unlock ring or either green or red phone symbol, touch doesn't seem to register anything. Only thing that works is switching the screen off with power button and switching it back on. And the phone works like nothing happened.

Yes, screen has one long crack that splits it in two pieces. However, until I installed that custom rom ~3 months ago i haven't had any problems with digitizer. My screen has been cracked for almost a year now and that would be the only problem with it.

When you get a call, instead of grabbing the ring and pulling it to the phone, try grabbing the phone (green or red) and pulling it to the ring... not sure if that'll work, but then you don't have to unlock Then answer, it just answers

Nope, whole screen is dead to the touch and so is the volume rocker. Only responsive key is the shut down key. I turn of the screen and turn it back on and everything works like nothing happened. One more thing, when i listen to music, and try to change song on the lock screen widget by pressing on screen buttons, they react like i have missed them and lock ring shakes. However if i press some 5 mm above them they react like they should, almost as if the screen isn't calibrated. that didn't happen on stock rom. And yeah during calls whole screen is dead to the touch, I tried pressing above those green and red phone symbol, but lock ring doesn't shake and that would mean it doesn't register a touch. Minor things really but they can be annoying

When you don't even bother to read at least the first page of the ROM thread, it is best for you to restore to a stock ROM or try other ROM... you'll save the headache.

All you need to do is read the MyOneV thread.. Dev has fixed all the issues in the rom.

No headaches man, I wouldn't be using it for 3 months if i wasn't satisfied with it and satisfied I am. I did read on the latest update (from march 2013) that RC9.5 FX+ has all the previous fixes included (for example my Bluetooth works fine) so i didn't bother reading on. Anyway, my fault.

Touchscreen has no obvious damage, but the stock Android buttons stopped working a while back (I have an app which replaces) and this might be connected with the above issue.

Touchscreen Occasionally not responding

Greeting,
I have a weird issue where occasionally after I unlock my phone, my screen doesn't respond to touches.
The phone works and responds to physical button presses but not touch.
Not sure exactly when it started happening but I've noticed this since last week.
Any idea what might be causing this?
I'm running Android Pie 52.0.A.3.202.

Got the same issue on 52.0.A.8.50. Usually opening the app drawer then hitting back solves it - otherwise none of the virtual buttons work.

Searching the web it seems touch screen issues are pretty common on this phone. I'm a bit surprised there isn't more being said here about it. Some experience delayed response, dead areas and no response at all. I have all those issues. Yes I am on the latest firmware. I bought the phone used with a cracked screen. I checked it out and everything seemed fine. I didn't use the phone, just set it aside til replacement screen came. I should have used the phone to thoroughly check it out but didn't want to go through the set up process as I was thinking of B/L unlock and root. New screen came, put it on and seemed to be working fine then screen would be unresponsive. I did factory reset, software update, software repair, went into settings and made sure sure everything was good there, nothing helped. The center of the screen (it's low and a bit off center) is pretty much dead. To open launcher I have to touch and hold near the top of the display. Touch and hold apps is tricky. Usually the app just opens. When I do get it to hold, I can't drag it anywhere. Also, icons in the drop down menu cannot be rearranged or edited. I can swipe up/down, side to no problem. Whenever touch goes dead completely, the home, back and minimize buttons go grey. Tapping the power button gets them back functioning again. . Function test fail. Free draw lets me make a few seconds of scribbles then freezes. The x and rectangle block draw does the same. Tapping power button does nothing to unfreeze either. The color test pass even the block one where you toggle on/off sections of the screen in blocks. It's really weird. First impression would lead me to the screen but it really acts like a software issue. From what I've read so far this phone uses two different display drivers. I not seen anything on how to change that and it would more than likely mean B/L unlock and root, which I'm not against doing. I would just like to know definitively if it's hardware or software. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe the Screen Connector wasn't 100% clean.
Or not only the screen is damaged.
I heard that the touch problems are mostly fixed with PIE. The closed source clearpad touch driver is..... Hoping Q gives us an further updated driver.
You still get sometimes ghost touches on higher workload or if the keyboard app is slow, but if you have dead spots the hardware sounds damaged.
