It seems as if random apps are opening when I am trying to use the XZU. Such as trying to drag the top bar down to see the notifications. And everything becomes very sluggish before the phone no longer respnds to touch. If I then turn the screen off, it won't turn back on again, and I have to force a reset with the red button.
What I actually think is happening, is the XDU is displaying the Main Home Screen with the clock n it, but seems to be interpreting my touch as being used on the next screen to the left, where I have most of my app shortcuts, as thse are the apps that I remember starting 'randomly'.
Does any of this make sense or seem familiar?
seem like you have a faulty display.

Screen is spotless. It's apps that aren't even on the current screen anyway. It might be a rogue app that's causing it. I've uninstalled one and not had the issue again yet. Strange!

Digital clock widget xperia. Might be coincidence but it's not happened since I removed it.

The clock app wasnt the cause. Next suspect is a dodgy looking game from China that I used for testing am ipega controller. It's called Assault.

Yeah, you should probably be a little more careful with the things you install, LOL. Not saying that your average Chinese app is malware of some sorts, but yeah... [emoji12]
Not an app after all. The touchscreen itself was dodgy. Now failed completely.
Anyone know how I can wipe the (unrooted) device completely before I send it back? Power & vol buttons ar still working, as is the screen itself. I just can't use touch to do anything.

I have had the 3vo since monday and on two occasions the screen became unresponsive. While stuck in that condition the 2nd time I noticed the bottom half of the screen was indeed responsive. i navigated that way until the issue disappeared on its own. I then became concerned enough to search out if anyone else was having similar issues. I ran across this while searching for the official htc forum. Basically the EVO 4G and the incredible had the SAME ISSUE.
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/3264.aspx
I have searched htc's site and xda and haven't seen anyone else reporting the same issue on the 3vo. I then called htc support and of course they weren't "aware of the problem on any of those phones".
So I'm thinking of calling it a factory defect and returning the phone for a replacement. Anyone with more info to add?
Edit:
Found this as well.

I can also confirm this. Lasted about a minute. Noticed it after I plugged my headphones in.

It has happened twice to me while trying to search my concact list. I just backed out and opened people again and it worked fine.
What were you running when it was unresponsive?
I believe I was in the launcher. Also, phone was in my hands.
Had the happen 1st time ever tonight. And it was the same...the bottom half was responding and buttons but not the rest of the screen. Can't recall which apps I had open. No headphones though.

The phone thinks that the notification menu is "dragged" down and it keeps you from tapping any icons or flipping through the screens.
To solve it without rebooting just pull down the notification menu and slide it back up and everything works fine again.
Definately a bug with Sense 3.0

You aren't able to click on any of the icons that the "pull down" notification menu would be blocking until you "repull" down the notification menu and slide it back up.
I was just offering how I was able to "workaround" the issue on my phone.
If this doesn't work for you, fine.. I was just trying to help with the experiences I have had.

Sorry. No animosity intended.
Same here..
Able to do everything except the top half of my screen was totally unresponsive.
And also the back button (capacitive button) is not bright enough as others (Home, Menu, Search).
Already sent to HTC for the screen replacement, but have to wait till next week because the screen no stock..
- Reboot the phone does fix the problem, but it will happen again & again..
- Already performed hard reset as requested by HTC cust service rep, but same thing happened within 24 hours, in clear system.
Unrooted EVO 3D..
I also experience touch screen problems, i just turn the screen off and back on and it works again for a short period of time.
My app drawer button is non-functional ish. The app drawer button doesn't always select in the green tone to show it's been activated. I know the screen recognizes it's being pressed because the full-screen weather animations stop once I press the screen but the rosie button doesn't... go. I tried resetting HTC Sense, no go. I don't know what's wrong.
Anyone else got this issue?

I've never had that happen. Are you using the stock HTC skin, or are you using one of the themed skins? Just curious on that. If you're not using the stock one, perhaps try switching back to the stock skin? A battery pull maybe? Sorry I don't have a better suggestion for you.

Well you can try rebooting the phone and removing the battery for a few seconds, but I'm going to assume you have done that already.
Second would probably be a hard reset, which I guarantee to fix your problem since it seems to be some sort of software hiccup.

I don't believe that's possible without full root. It is definitely possible to remap the rosie buttons, but I don't think we can until we get S-off. (could be wrong, because there's a ton of talented devs here, but I dont think so)
Someone (literally just forgot who) is trying to repackage all of Rosie itself so it can be installed as an apk with a ton of mods, but again, I can't remember who.
Oh also, the button is now fully functional. Just kind of started working randomly, but oh well! That works for me.

Not every phone app is going to look good on a tablet.
It depends a lot on how good the app programmers were, and if they were flexible on screen resolution. Android makes it possible - the programmers make it happen.
If the app version looks good on Fire or other tablets, it should look good on NT.

Uncheck "Compatibility Mode", then reboot. Old apps written for a small phone screen will then not appear in a small box at the top of the screen. They may not exactly run in full-screen....that depends on how the app was written and whether or not it can format itself to the full screen, but they will no longer run in a small box surrounded by blackness.
I've noticed that sometime if I'm I'm an app and I push the home button it almost instantly brings me back to my home screen and other times it has a slight half second delay. For example it will be super fast maybe 10x in a row, then it will have a slight delay but eventually gets quick again.

I experience this every now and then, usually with resource-hungry apps. Not to pretend like I know what I'm talking about (because I don't), but it might also have something to do with redraws on the launcher.

If you have S-Voice activated on your phone the S4 will wait about a half a second after you press the home button to see whether or not you press it again to activate S-Voice. If you disable this, it will immediately go to the home screen after pressing the home button. It is not lag, but rather a built in timer.

I have had this happen a few times . I've been running the CM nightlies and just thought it was something to do with the build.
I turned my kernel to stock settings (I was overclocked) to try to replicate your problem and I guess now that I am consciously thinking about it I have it too, I don't think its a huge deal though. A quarter of a second isn't that bad to me so I don't really care. If I'm overclocked it the animation is instant. It could be the ap switcher animation that lags under high resources. Try disabling that? or OC your phone.

How do I disable it? Idk how to over clock. I'm not rooted. I'm sort of a smartphone noob. Like I said if I close all recent apps it's instant but other times it's a fraction of a second. It's not nessecarily when I have tons of apps running either.

In your developer settings, select animator duration scale and turn it to 'off' see if that helps. If not, then there isn't alot you can do unrooted I don't believe.

Well I've spent hours trying to figure this out. When I have 0 apps running, and for example I open up the phone app or contacts app, then hit the home button, it responds instantly. However, sometimes once I get a bunch of apps running in the background the home button response can slow to like half a second, almost as if that s voice home button feature was enabled. Do you think the problem here could be that a bunch of apps aren't yet optimized for the s4 so when they are running in the background they are causing some home button lag?

No, this doesn't lag my S4 at all. However, I set "Disable hardware overlays" to always use GPU for screen composing (in developer options). With this option set I haven't noticed a single stutter.
Before this workaround, I used to notice microstutters here and there (it would stutter doing window animation opening up facebook notifications for example).
Word of caution: supposedly this can cause problems for some apps. The only app that has problems is quadrant
I tried that setting but it didn't seem to change anything. All I want to change about the phone is the occasional home button lag I'm experiencing. Sometimes when I hit the home button it takes half a second to respond but when I clear all my recent apps the home button response is instant. Any ideas?
