HTC EVO 4G touch screen malfunction

The problem is intermittent, took this video as proof. I'm not crazy, it really is dialing the last person on my call list by itself (Among other things).

Same problem. Anyone have any fixes yet?

@Ahekiom It is a defective touch screen. Take it down to the repair center and get the screen replaced.

@djalex1219 I took it down the the repair center. It turns out it the touchscreen was defective. They replaced it and it works fine now. The repair tech told me they wont fix them unless they can reproduce the problem. I got lucky as mine got so bad he was able to see the issue. Shot this video just in case he could not see the issue. I would just show him the video...

you get that fixed? have you tried a hard reset?

[marklfarkl]

@thebenjamin00 Hard reset did not fix the problem. It was a defective touch screen.

This is my third EVO Shift. My first one did that after a few months of owning it. I got a replacement, and that one would shut off after like 2 minutes, and wouldn't let me turn it back on unless I took out the battery and put it back in. So I just got my replacement a week ago, and while the guy at the store was activating it, it INSTANTLY gave me this problem.

They sent me a bum phone. The EVO Shift is a piece of garbage.

Where could I possibly find a repair shop? And how much would it cost to repair it???

This problem happened to me exactly and I went to Sprint to get it replaced. First they reset it which did nothing. So I had to come all the way back and then they tried to repair it. They replaced the whole touch screen and bezel with a piece of junk that looks like it was run over. I walked back in and told them about it and they ordered a replacement. I got the refurb and everything looks good except for the screen is of shit quality and has a yellow tint. Tired of dealing with this crap.
