I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this also. Sometimes my milestones touch screen start goin all crazy an pushing buttons an sliding pages an pretty much making a huge mess.This has happened before, an it went normal after 4 to 5 hours later, an now its happening again. I did some research sayin somethin about the touch screen an its reaction to humidity an stuff, but i wasnt sure. So im hoping someone here knows what is up an can tell me what i have to do.

Did you have your phone plugged in to a USB charger at the time? Was it the stock charger?
no, it doesnt happen jus when its chargin, it happens randomly, an no its not a stock charger, but i dont see what that would have to do with the screen goin crazy pushing everythin

Well, I would suggest that you try reverting back to using the stock charger for a few days and see if that helps. Using other chargers (esp from ebay) can cause similar effects on the Milestone/Droid due to voltage variances.
ill give it a try, an let you know what happens, thing is i bought the phone alone with no stock charger, so im gonna have to check on ebay for a stock one, but thanks again

Well, try buying a stock one from an authorized Motorola dealer. Every since I purchased one on ebay, I always make sure my Moto chargers come in a sealed, hard plastic, package in attempt to improve authenticity (However, I'm not sure how much that buys me).
Good luck.
I get this same issue.
Unplugged or not, on various roms from stock to motofrenzy.
sometimes the screen will just become really crazy.
If i open a webpage and just hold my finger on the screen in one place it will zoom in scroll up and down, all sorts.
I verified what was happening by downloading Multitouch visualiser 2 from the Market.
A reboot always fixes the problem
Its kinda frustrating, because i know that Moto just direct you to the place of purchase and i was not the original purchaser, so i have no chance of a warranty repair.
yeah ive tried everything, its driving me up the wall, its been like this for the last 30 hours,an i cant even use the phone, this is the worst it been, it usually goes away after 5 to 6 hours , but now its jus gone crazy, an ive restarted an removed the battery countless of times
but burko, are you using a sock wall charger or a ebay or differant brand wall charger.thanks

could you tell me how much the out put of volts an amps the motorola milestone wall charger is, thanks
I actually use a BlackBerry charger, as i assumed Micro-Usb would be the same for all manufactures, but as above, it does start the screen going mad, as soon as i unplug it, it stops!
Ill see if i can make it go mad without being plugged in!
Good shout Knowthenazz!
That happened with me, when the temperature degree outside is very high, I live in region the degree reach to 48degree, my phone screen goes crazy, so I think your charger make your phone very hot, so the sensitivity of your screen begin not work properly. I'm note sure, just want to share my idea.
Thanks,
well its been about 4-5 days already, an my phones touch screen still goin crazy, i thought maybe id go back, like the other times, but this time seems permanent an its extremely depressing thinkin about it cus i jus got it like a week and a half ago off a guy.ive tried countless of chargers, even my bros motorola backflip charger, an nothin. so im gonna assume its permanently gone. i would switch the digitizer but thats gonna cost money an might jus lose the entire phone, so im jus gonna throw it back on ebay an go back to my htc hero an jus wait for the milestone 2 to come out. but if anyone does find a solution please post it here. thx everyone R.I.P. MILESTONE

All chargers using the micro USB spec should be the exact same voltage (and different current ratings depending on the charger, although different current values shouldn't affect your screen at all). I suspect that the voltages are very close, if not generally the same, but, the voltage may slightly fluctuate (or ripple) over time, which I believe may be causing the issue. The better quality the charger, the more constant the voltage.
If I were you I'd purchase an authentic Motorola Micro USB charger, and call it a day.

Glad I could help!
Not sure if this is true, but, I heard that most Motorola chargers work on Blackberry units, but, the converse isn't always the case.
well its been about a week and a half an the crazy screen thing finally stopped, i used my friends motorola backflip charger, an seems like evrything is back to normal, but now the "back" button does not work, an it really is a verry important button, so im jus hopin time will fix that button too

Glad things are returning back to normal for you with regards to the screen.
Not sure what's going on with your back button though. Hope it works itself out for you.

Go to a service center asap!
Dude, use your warranty. Take it to a service center.
Mine happened the same, and I decided to send it back to motorola and just got it back yesterday.
They replaced the glass screen and the frame which surrounds the glass.
It seems they removed that plastic from behind the screen on the slider, or also replaced the slider module.
I'd guess it might be a known issue for motorola, because my phone had scratches on the glass, plus a small crack on the screen ( yeah, I know, it's gorilla glass, but I'm an orc with mobiles ), the metal frame was all dented, and they replaced it anyway, when they could just said "this is misuse, it's failing because you drop it several times, go buy another one"
I already had this issue a few months before, it got better and I decided to keep on, and then it started again and got unusable, so don't get excited about it getting better, because probably will eventually start failing again.

It happened with me too. Somebody told me that was cause by sweat. So i took it to service center.
started happening to me yesterday, anyone know a fix yet?
Well today I left my cdma HTC HERO in a walk-in cooler at work to stock soft drinks and forgot I left it in there for 2 hours and when I went to power it on immediately after I got it out it started smoking out of the volume controls on the side and immediately shut-down. Boot screen loaded however battery indicator showed to to be all red before shut-down. Battery was around 95% before I left it in the cooler. Firgured I had toasted my phone (well in this case i guess iced it) so I said damn now I got to use my upgrade so it wasn't all that big of a deal however I gave the phone an hour rest and low and behold the phone powered back up with battery around 70% with ROM working normally. Just a little story I figured I'd share.
probably had condensation on the motherboard, lucky you didn't fry it.
Awesome Totaly want to do this with my hero lol
wow , u gotta be really stupid to turn on a phone after leaving it in a place of 99% condensation
True, you shoud let it dry naturaly. Don't put it on the radiator.

Wtf is 99% condensation? Anyways, no condensation occurred until he took it out if the cooler and back into warmer, and more than likely moister, air. I routinely take my Hero into and out of storage freezers at work set to -10°F and blast freezers set to -30°F with no issues.

I just got a replacement HTC One today (due to a power button issue). Within 5-10 minutes of use my One will hit about 110 degrees, sometimes up to 115. I use a task manager and I never had this problem with the first One I had. Any idea what could be causing this/what could prevent it?
If it didn't happen with the first phone, you should return that second phone.

So what was wrong with the first phone? The power button wasn't sitting flush? That's what happens when you return phones for stupid problems. So now you end up with a worst phone then before.

This.... which is why the tiny gap on the top I can live with.. Dont want to risk the chance of getting one with a dead pixel or something.
As for the over heating.. My phone gets a little warm but unless the blinking overheating led doesn't come up for no reason I wouldn't worry about it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Mine too gets warm under stress use, like games and streaming video. I'm not measuring the temp because I don't care enough. I can feel it get warm is all.
Now that you mention it though, my volume buttons have been giving me a dirty look ever since I bought it... I think I'll return it. Screw HTC and their crap!! I'm getting an s4!!

The thing is, I paid for a phone in full working order. Regardless of if the defects are minor, they are still defects. I just want what I paid for.
Are we talking 115F? ...Or 115C.
Cause I'm inclined to believe its the former, and, if so, that's within a range I would consider normal.
If it's 115C, I'm surprised the phone is still on. Water would boil if put on the chip. The battery likely would have exploded by now.
Typically, you want to quote electronics temperatures in C.
115F isn't abnormal especially if you're pushing the CPU (heavy GPS or gaming), especially if you're referencing the battery temperature.
Generally you want to avoid anything above 50C, and that's not above 50C.
If it battery temp then it likely to be a bit high considering it sandwiched in between the LCD and the cpu board

Plus, I've decided that the all aluminum case helps dissapate heate from the board and therefore feels warmer than an equivalent plastic (read Galaxy S4 ) phone.
In the 4 years time i NEVER broke a Smarthphone and only a single scratch in the screen.
This is the first of the (Iphone1-Sony x10-Samsung note 1, note 2, now x1) 5 smarthphones to have a fully scratched screen and broke down.
Im sure of the fact that the upcoming year i wont be having a smarthphone of this premium class or insurance must cover it (I doubt it)
I noticed my Xperia Z1 was heavenly scratched today.
Then i went looking for XDA to say this issue and the screen went weird.
The touchscreen did what he wanted and not me. So i became angry.
How the **** can this happen!
Then the screen went off. I was like W T Hell!???
LED flash turned on and stayed that way.
I wanted to press reset button and came to the conclusion the phone is curved...
How???
Screen doesnt turn on, Computer doesnt detect it.
Lets press Reset button.
Led goes off. But nothing else works anymore.
Volume up and power or volume down doesnt work either.
Sony says i got to contact them and send the phone.
Wich will i quess 100% result into me paying a big amount of money to fix it...
The phone doesnt turn on and has items that are not allowed to be seen by others (classified) .
I got to send it to the insurance company.
Anybody knows how to get these files of the phone?
Computer doesnt see it. And it doesnt turn on.

It dropped from half waist-shoulder (Chest?) height onto the shower mat.
It came out after it as a curved phone.
It is utterly destroyed. Not even a single piece of glass is broken.
The inner part is broken thought...
When i press power button it lowers the brightness of the flash light.
But i dont need the data inside the phone.
I need to get RID of it.
So the insurance company cant get it.
How can i do this?
I cant touch the phone ferther (Breaking it more). If i was allowed i would do it...
Jesus... I better get a case for mine...

I took my case of before dropping it...
If i get a new one. If... I am never going to take it off.
But look at this:
Phone 100% intact. Except for the insides.
So the outside is strong as hell. Better then any other phone.
But the inside wich is the most important of a phone... Yeah you know it.
My Note 2 had some paint of the sides (grey bezel). Costed me 25 euros and 4minutes to replace.
This phone on the other hand.
I either have it insured 100% (own fault) and have to pay 250 own risk. Or i dont get it insured. (Insurance for everything in the house including electronics)
My phone insurance was still on Note 2. I just had the Xperia Z1 new and didnt put it over yet.
F my life!
If it isnt insured. Well i still got a Sony ericsson Cybershot K770 wich is like??? 7-8 years old...
I cant pay 700 euros for a new premium phone

goto love this.. you dropped your phone and are asking for a software repair..
sort it with your insurance, and if you don't have insurance, tough!
New pictures and a video.
In the video you can see it isnt straight anymore at all.
It is curved like the Samsung galaxy curve. But then the lenght direction instead of the weidth.
I hate it to see it like this.
And i gave my Galaxy note 2 to my dad as birthday present. But i have to get it back now for a few days till i got a cheaper replacement for my Sony or insurance cover.
I got a budget of 200,- atm for a new phone if i must.
So i hope i can get atleast 500 euro out of insurance or full cover of the 750 euros.
But i wont be buying an Sony Z1 anymore if i can choose.
I am going back to plastic phones.
They are more premium to me then this junk...
How can a phone go in a curve like this from such a height???
I hope Sony replaces it. Apple replaces an iPhone for 150€, not matter what you did to it.
I don't want to put my Z1 into an ugly case...

I am ASKING HOW TO GET MY DATA OFF. Not a software repair.
There is classified data on the phone. I need to get it out.
I am not saying i need the software fixed so it runs again.
There is something snapped inside or popped out of the flex cable connectors.
And i am not going to open it so my insurance will say get lost.

Simple answer to your question is no, the only thing you can try and do and thats if your phone will even do this is to use flashtool to flash a firmware and this will wipe your phone atleast all your "classified data" will be deleted. If the phone is that messed that it wont do that then your stuck im afraid....sorry

Then the sealings was compromised and the phone died in the shower?

I thought the same. That kind of bend does not occur from a drop within reasonable hight, not even beyond so. It looks just like it's been in a back pocket and sat on, almost forcibly so.

This phone with it's weight not even being 200g, don't build up the force form dropping to bend it self...

Hi.
I have the weirdest issue: My screen flashes when I try to turn it on, but refuses to give me any picture. Here's the weird part: It only happens when the phone is cold (approx under 22c, 72f). Now to be clear, the screen works at any temperature I've attempted to use it in. It just won't START in those "low" temperatures. When it's running it'll keep running with zero problems.
The touch works when I attempt to turn on the screen, regardless of if it actually turns on or not.
I've tried complete factory wipe, and even downgraded the OS via the huawei program on PC. Only difference was that sometimes when it would have flashed it gets stuck on a green glitchy pattern.
I'm fairly proficient in electronics, but I can't think of any reason why it would act this way.
It's clear I'll have to send the phone for repairs, but I'm out of warranty so I'd rather find a fix I can do myself (even if it's complicated, I've got access to microscope and fine soldering equipment), and MOST IMPORTANTLY I want to figure out WHY this is happening.
Tell me if any specific information could help figuring out what is wrong.
Send to service... replace screen in warranty...
my p20 pro also did it... i walk to service, replace screen in warranty within 3hours...
I'm sorry..... 22 Celsius.... Cold? Damn not jealous at all. Still 5 degrees here [emoji23]

Here it's around freezing atm.
Update
So, interesting update:
I dropped my phone, and it slammed into the floor quite hard. It seemed to have fixed the problem. Now I REALLY want to figure out what was the cause of the problem to start with!

Looks very much like an unstable contact that was "slapped" back by the fall. If you really want to know what was the issue you should open up your phone and tell us all.

How would temperature effect an unstable contact?
I would open my phone but I don't have a heat gun.
Thermal expansion, maybe?
I think mine does the same thing. Only ever notice it outside, where I have to keep trying to open my screen, while it keeps flashing, and when I wake up in the morning and usually have to fully restart my phone to use it.
