Its hard to get it to happen on command thats the issue really. Using it daily as much as I do obviously I'm going to notice it but getting it to do it when the tech is using it will be challenging.

ahh i know that all too well, during my treo 800 and my TP1, TP2 days everytime I had an issue no matter wut is was; screen not respondin, keyboard, reboots etc.. it used to happened all day constantly mess wit me but the moment i stepped in the sprint store its like my phone was brand new..wen i pulled it out, i swear even the sprint plastic returned lol..but yea ur jus left standing there lookin like a liar who wants another device. my TP2 (or i should say one of my many TP2's) i actually had to leave it wit them for like 2days jus so they could see..

i thought it was common knowledge that the "leaked" version was an unfinished product. that's why it was pulled.

wait until you get final release before you start panicking. though it doesn't hurt to point out a bug that htc may not be aware of.

i'd guess it's more of a software problem than hardware. you've been running froyo for a while alreadey, haven't you?

android phones have been picky about what chargers they like, could be the update makes it even pickier.

As noted in my original post this has been happening since the .47 OTA update which has been out for sometime now. The chance that this problem will magically go away on the 'offical' 2.2 OTA is about zero..Considering every leak has the issue also.

but you were running other froyo builds prior to .47 update as per many other posts you've made in the past. i don't recall you ever stating you had a problem with "ghost touches" back then (of course i didn't read all your posts).

so if every leak has the issue, then try something that's not the leak. use a known good build you've used. if you still have the problem then it could be radio update/software update or (hopefully not) a hardware issue.

do you still have the problem with the new "official" ota?

That is correct the only ROM's that so work for me is anything BEFORE .47 OTA..The offical 2.2 release I have the same issue.

The only froyo ROM I don't have the issue with is Ava v9 but that doesnt have working camera or even MMS. I would like to just stay at a very old ROM but it really doesn't do much for me going forward.

Its either something in the hardware but I think its software. One of the things I remember people complainging about before the .47 OTA was a grounding issue. The screen not being responsive if it was laying on a desk for example. I personally NEVER had this issue but HTC addressed it in the .47 OTA and since that update is when the problem started to happen.

Its my thought that I just have a rare issue and not enough people have the problem for it to be addressed.

So I am loading up the offical 2.2 OTA and so far it happens pretty often so I think I should be okay in getting it to happen when the tech looks at it.

I had the issue prior to the leaked 2.2. Haven't noticed it yet but haven't been using my phone as heavily the past few days. The most annoying thing to me is going into my list of txts and picking someone to reply too and it magically picks someone 4 conversations below where i tap.... and will do it 3 times in a row. I've gotten pretty pissed a couple of times and responded to the wrong person at least half a dozen times before getting in the habit of making sure i was txting the right person.

OMG yes when it happens to me txting I want to throw it against the wall!! haha

So annoying but all I can do it keep turning the screen off and on till it decides to go away.

In all of experiences exchanging defective phones with Sprint, it has not been a requirement that the tech be able to reproduce the issue. I think they understand that there is a possibility they will be unable to reproduce the issue in a short amount of time and thus, at least for me, they have simply taken my word and swapped my phone. With as much as you have complained about this issue from this thread to CM's thread, I think its time you just go get a new phone, or at least try.
