Tries looking this up but nothing. My phone has been pretty good since I picked up a new one Friday. Today its extremly humid in Georgia, to the point u step outside and instantly sweat...my lock screen has frozen up twice in the last 2 hours, can this be from the high humidity? I have to do a battery pull to reboot it and its fine.

Sound like your cpu is overheating. Humidity shouldn't really be a factor.
Also, you could try deleting /data/dalvik-cache and rebooting.
U could be right...its about 100 degrees out. The "feels like" temp says 105... Had the phone in my pocket and it did feel pretty warm to the touch.

Ya anything wet like wet hands sweaty hands will make your screen lock up at times not bad just wipe it off hit the power button again and your good to go not a big deal just don't drop it in the can while pinchin a loaf or your **** outta luck...
What I have noticed with my phone is if I get sweat on it, like if I hold it up to my sweaty face during a call, I can't interact with the touch screen until I clean the sweat off of it.
Take this with a grain of salt though... My current 3d is getting replaced due to other "issues".

When you said "lock up", did you mean it was completely unresponsive and frozen, or was it just the touchscreen that wasn't working (and it would still display animations, change the clock etc)?
Because if it's just the touchscreen, then the other fellas here are right - liquids on the touchscreen kind of disable it until you wipe.
Yeah, it's sweat. All my touchscreen devices completely freak out, do random things or mostly just become completely unresponsive whenever I'm at the gym and I go to change the song or something...it's definitely sweat. wipe it off and don't worry.
I am in Houston, we have high humidity as well, temps in high 90's and fells like in the low 100's. A lot of my work is done outside and my phone stays in my front pocket of my shirt, sweaty, hot, humid. No issues as of yet, but I am now worried about it, thanks j/k
High humidity and screen protectors have always been bad combinations for me.

Does anyone else have issues with their screen acting crazy if your phone gets cold? When I am working outside I cannot even use my phone until I jump in the van and hold my phone over the heater for a minute.
I had an Evo 4g last year and don't remember having this issue.
Thanks 7
Occasionally I will notice the screen responding a little slowly in the cold. This doesn't seem to be a touch issue. Seems more like the screen is cold and it takes time for the graphics to change due to the cold. Are you noticing issues with touch functionality???

That can happen due to it being cold and your hands being hot will cause a humid like mist on the glass which will make it slow or laggy till you wipe it down.
Mine actually starts with phantom presses. I can't even answer a phone call sometimes.

I can get mine to do that. If I am outside in the cold or if I just washed my hands and go to use the phone as soon as it gets some humid or moisture on the screen it from slightly humid or wet fingers will go all funky and random things will happen. Lag or it will jump on to all over the place then hang wipe it down and your good to go.
If the glass is cold and your hands are warm it can do the same thing.
I just thought of a way to make money. A special phone pouch that attaches to your drawers. That way it keeps your phone warm, close to your junk, plus makes you look massive. It's a win-win.

Does anyone else experience they're EVO 3d phone screen completely messing up when outside in cold weather usually about 50°F or colder? I have tried quite a few roms thinking maybe just the ROM but was just the phone. Phone screen becomes completely unresponsive and almost has a mind of its own while in cold weather and not again until the phone is in warm air and gets warmed back up. Any help would be great

That's due to your hands being hot and humid which causes a wet fingerprint to form on the glass due to it being cold normal man. Cold glass and hot hands does the same thing when you put your hand on a cold window the mist it leaves behind. The phone is fine.

You could have the problem I have seen a few threads talk about. Basically your touch screen gets messed up for whatever reason. Unless you have a lot of physical defects on the phone you may be able to get warranty on it. I have the same problem and it actually happens all the time. Across every rom I have tried in the past 6 months. I used the touch test app and can verify that a random point on the screen thinks im touching it at times. It happens mostly at the lockscreen. Which stops you from putting the correct pattern in. Turn screen off and back on and its gone for a while.
Why is it that the EVO and EVO 3D just @#$%^&% love to turn themselves on and unlock themselves in my pockets? Isn't the proximity sensor supposed to let the OS know the thing is in my damned pocket?
For some reason it seems to like my Levi's more than any other pockets. When I wear dress slacks it's not quite too quick to wake and play.
I'm becoming severely tired of being reminded that I didn't put the phone in my pocket screen-side out by the fact that my leg is about 150-degrees, only to pull the phone out of my pocket and find that I'm about 40 over par in a game of golf.
What the hell?!?!?!?
Sounds like a defect.... Try makei.g sure the power button is face up? If u have volume buttons set to wake ur screen unset them?
Sent from my PG8610000 using Xparent Red Tapatalk
A defect that both of my EVO 4Gs and my EVO 3D have?
Basically if anything presses the power button or wakes the screen when it's facing my leg, the simple fact that there's a capacitive transfer between my leg and the screen through a few layers of cloth can cause it to slide unlocked. (try unlocking it with your finger through your shirt, for example, it works just fine.)
If I put more security on the lock, it stays locked, but that's beside the point. The phone/OS should KNOW it's in a pocket and disallow that action altogether.
Well it doesn't... Touch screens work on heat, and the proximity sensor only seems to shut the screen off in q phone call.
I have never really had this problem(it happens once in a blue) that's y I thought it may be defective, it sounds like your best bet is the lock, that said I always have my phone in a otter box, dunno if it helps...
Sent from my PG8610000 using Xparent Red Tapatalk
Just put a passcode on it, it's not too much of a problem then. Of course, you'd lose a little battery life but not so much as when you find out you're half way through Tiger Woods' new game.

Touch screens to not work on heat. A capacitive screen only needs a conductive surface to work. Just an FYI.
Actually its both heat is for fine tuneing and
Conductivity is big movement, try useing a nickel it will follow the motion well but be choppy now heat said nickel n chop is gone
Ps pennys don't work at all what's up with that

Really??? I would love to see any kind of technical sheet showing that a capacitive screen uses heat in any way shape or form to do anything. If I am wrong, I will not edit my post to change what I said (like you did) but will post a public apology to you stating that I was wrong.

Also, I have the same issue that the OP has, once in a while, I will take my phone out of my front pocket of my khakis and I will have 5 apps open and a call open to my wife or something of that nature. I have learned to face the screen out instead of in which seems to help (if I remember to actually do it).
I edited it because I first tried it with a penny and it did not work at all then I tried it with a quarter and it worked and was very choppy like it was wasnt touching it properly then I heated the quarter and it worked fine. I don't no y this did this but it did...
I was wrong at first, because o thought it was all heat, and I did say that, but I was also posting what I had figured out, that's all.

No biggie...I think I might try the quarter trick to see if maybe a heated quarter has better conductive properties as an experiment becuase I am really bored.

I would try another rom or kernel if no luck and you try a stock kernel and rom and still have issues take the sucker back to sprint.
Just put a otterbox commuter case on it. Its a 2 part case soft rubber skin and a hardshell over it. You gotta put a little more effort in pressing the buttons, it never comes on in my pocket, I even got the volume buttons set to wake.

Hi guys.

is it a software or a hardware issue?

I too am having the issue. Will probably use this to justify trading for another phone within my 45 day Best Buy silver premier return window. I like the phone but this issue and how my phone just shuts offs needing me to hold the power button to reset twice a week is getting annoying. I also noticed the back is easily scratched. Always run my screens naked and never had a scratch since my Diamond Touch so figured the back would fare as well as screens. Picked up three noticeable scratches on back within a week.

Is there a reason for these phones turning off like that? It happens to me a bit too, and I have to hold the power button for a bit to get it to restart.
@OP: No, I do not notice this issue. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right area though..
I think it may be related to heat. The area on mine sort of stretches and distorts the image in a nice rectangular area. If you look at the teardown, it is where the ram is located along with processor underneath. Since it happens to everyone in the same spot, I doubt it's a defect in the screen but a symptom of the heat. Can't be a harbinger of good things.

Anyone want to take bets on what it looks like? No case no screen cover.
I did go through the bs of changing all my passwords last night as i have no lock on it also. That was annoying but probably was time to do that anyways.
While i had everything backed up one scary thought was if someone logged in they could have deleted my backups :/

Even since I got my phone stolen and people started posting some really nasty stuff all over Facebook and twitter i now use a lock screen. It might be tedious but it's worth it for a little bit of protection to ward off most people. In the end if someone wants to get in your phone they are going to but having a slight deterrent is nice.

Yea this phone is pretty tough. I left mine in the lightbar of my patrol car and drove off the other day. Realized a half mile down the road and was like oh ****. Made the block and couldn't find it. Searched for like 30 minutes and chalked it up to a loss. Next day I drove the block three time at 5mph and found the phone up against the curb. UAG case was off, battery cover off, battery out and screen down. Was like Yes! But I bet the screen is busted (mainly just wanted pics off it) turned it over and not a scratch on the screen. Looked like it had tire print on it though. 2 minor dings along the side bezel was all the damage the phone took. Case had big black tire marks and was scratched to hell though.
Pen popped out and never did find it was the only bad thing.
It's a tough phone for sure.
I would call that some serious luck bro... as my Luck Stands.. I had to get my vision checked and I went to Target.. I set my previous phone (Thunderbolt) on the table and forgot I had done so and went in and had my vision looked at.. came out and it was gone.. :-\ good thing it was only a TBolt and not my Note or I would have raged on that store.
