I think the best way will be hard reset. If the problem don't dissapear this will be a mobo problem.

Thank you for the advice, I will try it as soon as it flickers again.
I deleted Ebay and PayPal apps from the phone I installed 2 days ago. And it stopped doing that.
I don't know if it was really those apps fault nor do I know if the problem is solved yet. But I don't see my phone's screen flickering for about 3 hours now.

Some app have option to not die screen or something like that building in to it.

Keyboard unresponsive

I am experiencing an unresponsive keyboard, at the bottom of the screen, after an hard reset. Previously it was working good without problems.
Any idea? does anyone had the same problem?
thanks
Reflash the rom your using. That solved the issue when I had it? Clean install it though.

What if I have the stock rom with S-ON?
Hmmm..... if a factory reset doesn't work. You could always unlock the boot loader and try a custom rom.
Or take it back to HTC etc if you still can ?

The problem is that the phone is not mine but a person found on internet owns the phone and I would buy it, now my question is: should I buy the phone even if it has this problem? the phone has 8 months and is still can send back to HTC.

It is a difficult question to ask. No one can tell what the problem is. It could be hardware or software. If you can get to the shell you can enter the command getevent and capture the output of the touch events. See if it is at least generating any touch events at that portion of the screen. If the tool is capturing any events you confirm that the hardware is working fine at the least.
Just change the kernel gouverneur to something other than powersafe/interactive or conservative and done.

Hello Friends... I saw many people having this problem with their phones... The problem was battery charging stuck when it reaches x% (x might be 85 or 87 or 90 whatever mine is 87%). I tried bump charging, tried to calibrate battery several times, etc etc but nothing works... So i decided to take help of HTC Care and i get back to stock and i take my phone to htc... they registered my complaint... The Engineer named this problem as Battery Not Charging Physically... They kept my phone for a week.. after 2-3 days a call came from HTC to tell exact repairing amount of phone... According to HTC Engineers the problem is with motherboard and it costs 8590 INR... So i didn't repaired my phone...So there is no worth to repair phone...and say Bye bye to Green LED... lolzz... If any one solved this problem on there own then plz share ua exp so others can solved them too... Thank You..

Have you tried with another battery? Because they have a chip that prevents overcharge. Maybe this has a defect.

In addition to the issue you mentioned about battery not charging beyond a certain percentage, did the battery also drain faster?
I have the x% issue and the battery drains fast adding to the woes

Touch problem

Hey guys,
I faced a problem when i'm pressing on the screen on one item it press 3 or a full row on my screen from itself ! is there any help in that, thats happened after upgrading to the latest version [My Device not rooted]
If you are still under warranty use it.
If not figure out if it is a software problem or a hardware problem. Do a factory reset after backing up all your data. If that worked it was a software problem. You can then restore all your data.
If that didn't work you need to get your screen replaced.

Is that happening when your phone on charge?
Are you using the original charger?

Volume up stops working.

Yesterday my phone's volume up stopped working so I googled to see if there was a fix. Some had suggested unticking fast start up and rebooting didn't work tried soft reset didn't work then later it just started working. So tried it again tonight and it's not working again, so does anyone else know if it's software or hardware or any suggestions of what to do thanks.

Think it might be hardware because if you shake it it normally starts working again dreading having to send off for repair been reading about some real horror story's .

How about you try the built in diagnostics: in dialer type *#*#3424#*#* then select "Button Test" and run it.

I guess if it fails the button press, then it's most likely a hardware fault, and not much you can do to fix it
It should still be under warranty so will take it back next week hopefully they can fix it but dreading handing it over incase it comes back in worse shape then when it went.

If anyone reads this from the UK what's the best way to send phone off for warranty repair through shop where i got it from phones4u or HTC UK or HTC international need some advice before it goes on it's journey for repair. Also time frames of how long it normally takes would be nice. Iam hoping they tell me to send it somewhere locally for repair but doubt it very much, had a Nokia years ago wich went to a local place for repair but don't think they do that now.

Weird vertical line on screen.

The title explains it all, this just started happening this morning. I even booted into recovery and can see it not it bootloader. There was a couple sense 5.5 roms I flashed before that had this but now its on CM 10.1. And its very annoying I haven't dropped my phone or applied any type of pressure to the screen. Wondering if anyone has solution or any knowledge if why this happens.

I hope you realize that there isn't anything on these screenshots. Most likely your problem is hardware related not software related, that's why it doesn't show up in the screenshots

Oh wow stupid me! Thanks I still see it on phone but not on my computer. I'm try flashing a ROM or running an ruu see if itll fix the problem.
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app
Just a heads up, don't get excited. This is most likely a hardware problem.
Try putting it in the freezer overnight, it has solved many of these issues(not kidding). Just make sure you wrap it with a plastic bag

I decided not to run an ruu. I just held my power button for two minutes. Everything is back to normal.
