[HTC Sensation] oran3e1:
Hey i'm not sure what my problem is but recently on my HTC Sensation i would get random touches at the top of the screen when i touch the screen with the power cable unplugged, usually this would happen when the phone is charging but now it has gotten really bad and now i physically cant use my phone anymore.

I bought this phone the other day off of eBay, it is a perfectly good working phone and is 2 years old, after a couple of days the random touches on the screen got worse and worse WHILE it was charging and now is doing it with the cable unplugged and now i have to lock the screen and unlock it again to use it for about 10 seconds until it starts again, i have tried grounding it properly with the tinfoil trick and discharging it, leaving the battery out over night and pressing the power button when the phone is off to hopefully remove static charge and changing the battery and using a different case but still the problem persists.

The only thing i havent tried is charging the phone fully without touching it, it takes too long and i dont have time and reasons to do so, should i try this?

Also my Bootloader is HBOOT 1.27.1111

Radio-11.24A.3504.31_M

OpenADSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418

eMMC-boot

JuopunutBear PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

And an currently running Elegancia ICS sense 4.1 3.2.0

I really don't know why my phone is doing this and am contemplating about changing the whole display with my other working Sensation XE to see if that will solve the problem.

If anyone has any idea why my phone is doing PLEASE let me know because im going crazy here, also i cannot send this phone back for repairs because it is a used phone off of eBay.

Also this is my GETVAR command about my phone:

---JUST UPDATED FIRMWARE---

--UPDATE--

I gave up with trying to fix this god damn static screen issue and swapped screens with my sensation XE screen, and now is working fine :D. so thank god it wasn't a motherboard issue, now my sensation looks like the awesome XE and is working fully

(UPDATE) (Screen messes up again while charging, hopefully this doesn't lead to messing while not charging :/ )

(UPDATE) (screen doesn't mess up while charging or discharging :), this might be because I got a screen protector and did the FIX again and stopped using my phones plastic case so it can ground properly, also after doing the FIX don't use your phone/don't touch the screen at all when its charging.)

This FIX is what i have been trying and after alot of testing it it didn't work out for me so i had to replace the screen, but im guessing this should work for most people:

FIX

This screen is very low quality compared to my other one, it blurs when I scroll.

Thanks a bunch HTC for the amazing case design and all those hours spent testing for touchscreen problems... :mad:

UPDATE SERIOUS RESULT!!

After swapping screen with my working htc sensation XE's screen i have fixed all of the problems and found out that GROUNDING IS VERY important!, i have just put together my Sensation XE with my other faulty to display to see if it had lost its static charge after leaving for a couple of days thinking that it might be fixed, i re-installed it in the XE and it has the exact same touchscreen problems.

So this concludes that using a plastic case constantly while your phone isn't grounding properly with the grounding pin not touching the case and your hands not grounding the phone has actually BROKEN the display. so whoever has these touchscreen randomly touching somewhere when you touch the screen you should really stop using a case, fix your grounding pin right away using the FIX link down below and apply a screen protector which i believe stops static electricity building up in the display when you use your phone while charging, which broke my screen.

If anyone can please send me feedback of what accessories you use on your Sensation and how you use it, screen protector, cases, extended batteries and what not i would like to summarize my findings in hope that this isn't just my problem, thanks.
