What is Force Restart?
When phones is not responding and hanged up, most of users pull battery out and start their phone up. This action cause serious damages to eMMC Chip. So, most of smartphone manufacturer include a key combination to do force restart in their product.
How:
Volume Down + Volume Up + Power for few sec.
My Test: On Icecoldsandwitch 7.2, Cyanogen 7.1 and Virtuous Quattro RC3 custom roms
You can also test on your phone; test it and replay your result with roms' names
I'm very interested to know how it works on Official rom
good to know - im one of the battery pulling majority and as a result the indent on the case where you put your nail in to prise the case off has become quite rough with the black plastic coming off!
wish i'd known this 14 months ago!
This will not work when your phone is hung fyi.

Playgound ICS, newest version. And it is a hard freeze. Even the charging light remains on, until battery literally runs out or gets removed. No button (soft or hardware) is responding to anything.
Tested on Virtuous Quattro RC3 , works successfully even in hanging

That's odd... you would think that during a hang when all digitized buttons and soft buttons were unresponsive that this would not work.

Yes, It will, let me give you an example, It's not perfect one but it's similar situation. when your computer does not respond, you hold the power button and computer turning off, or in laptops when your system is hanged up are you holding power button or pull your laptop's battery?
ofcourse we cannot compare smartphones with computer systems but what should you do if - for example - htc one s hanged up? (soft freeze) you can't pull battery out
so according to my tests, in soft freeze situation, you can force restart

When my phone is freezing I give it a blanket... if that doesn't work I throw it in the sauna.
Anyway, I've to pull the battery if it hangs since no buttons/keys are working.
No, it doesn't work to hold volume up/down+power.
Yea, I've tried. Like each time it happens just in case it might work once.
Can't think of any other answers I might get to answer

according to other froum users, Force Restart fully worked in UI hanging, the order is V down + V up + Power for 6 sec.

Sometimes this method does not work. Sometimes my phone freezes, and does not respond to anything. In these cases I recommend an adb reboot or something

Yeah, That is Hard Freeze, caused by memory dump, chipset shock, and etc. But in Soft Freeze, UI is not responding, application lock, games, and etc. this method works perfectly

Hello,
Since I've bought my Incredible S about 8 months ago, I've been experiencing this problem. Somethimes, when I'm writing a message, there is 1 letter that doesn't work, if I press on it, it chooses the letter besides it. If I exit the app and reopen it, everything is fine. So its only the keyboard that's acting weird.
I had this on the standard 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 and now on 4.0.3 with the Virtuous Quatrro ROM.
Now I'm using the default ICS keyboard, on Gingerbread I used Better Keyboard.
Does anyone know a sollution?
Just to notice, my phone was send to HTC for repair somewhere around Octobre last year, and they replaced the whole front, including the screen. 2 weeks before that, they replaced the motherboard. So I still had the problem after the repair. And I think it's not software related, bevause it's just when I'm typing something, and not when I'm scrolling trough menu's or something like that.
Had the same problem. And I have a solution: don't notice it
I know its irritating sometimes, but that's not a real problem, so take it easy

I have had that problem with my mum's Wildfire S as well.
But then i realized that the phone had not been rebooted in a while.
Restarting the phone did the trick so i assumed that there were too many programs running in the background.
However, now after i guess a couple of months, the problem still persists albeit at a very minor stage.
Either lock the screen then unlock it. Or reboot the phone.
Both methods work for me when I get this issue. I use the lockscreen when I need my phone but if I've got a 5mins spare ill reboot.

The funny part is when this issue occurs, sliding the lock screen also seems impossible
Then lockscreen and unlock it again and all is fixed? ..... when I have issues with lock screen I just lock and re-unlock then it fixes it.
Does that work for you?

Locking and unlocking the lockscreen helpes, but there has to be a permanent sollution for this right?
Not that I know of. ....are you using just stock lockscreen etc or do you have 3rd party apps like widget locker?

I had this problem aswell. It started out in the same way as yours just being a tad un responsive, but slowly got worse. What it turned out to be was that digitizer was faulty as I replaced the digitizer myself and the problem was solved. As you say that the screen etc has been replaced before this could well be the case. I would recommend getting in done professionally as it isn't an easy job. Look on the market for a touch screen test app and see if you have any dead spots.

i've had the unresponsive lockscreen issue when using cm7 and cm7 based roms, then today i checked set cpu and i had a profile for screen off - a low clock speed with conservative governor. Changed to interactive and slightly high clock speeds and dont seem to be facing the issue any more....at least its been okay for the past 6 hours...hope this helps
I find if you lock the phone and wipe the screen until it's nice and clean it fixes this problem. It could be caused by a buildup of finger oils on the screen, or from your face after making a call. Not to sure though.

Happened to me on gueste2x v3.8 last night while I was USB tethering...and I was just pushing for a record time running made it to 160 hours and had to pull battery out to get it working again. As mentioned already, it's probably something to do about background data/wifi activity.

I have not found any solutions as yet, I think it is related to some service getting killed or something related to memory or IncS hardware limitation. It is quite possible that it is issue with games (due to above) because I remember testing touches with YAMTT app and touches worked fine, probably you can check it for your phone.
As a workaround, I lock-unlock again and see if it works. If it is still not working, long press home key to get app running history, remove that game and open it again (restarting game ). I remember on rare occasions I have to restart my phone.
P.S.
I am not expert, we have many experts here in this forums, so few of above may be incorrect

Yes, same here, its irritating. Have you tried SVHD 2.1 ROM with kangaroo v19 kernel, I am getting the best performance from my phone amongst the ROMs that I have personally tried. At this moment I am not playing games heavily, but have not faced this issue in svhd ROM. I would suggest that you keep ROM for 2-3 days to conclude if that ROM works for you (like performance, battery etc)
Meanwhile let's wait for solutions from experienced user or expert.

-_- there's a difference between cranking up the brightness and not being able to see anything at all on the screen (in other words, completely black screen as if the phone was off).
Just a question but do the key backlights work?? Like, a lot of the ROMs come with default vibration for the keys. If you do feel your phone vibrate, then it might be the screen display or recovery maybe??
Im assuming you can boot up past splashscreen...

I am not even able to see HTC logo, it just vibrates. And when I go to boot loader i.e Vol DN+Power (No Back light) and press volume down once then power button once then I get to recovery and the back light turns on.
Also KEY backlight works only in recovery nowhere else.
I guess this clears the issue which I am facing.
I tried at some repairing shops but even they don't have any clue.
Any other suggestions are appreciated.
