So my phone has been working fine for a week and I've never had issues like this before on any android phone. I got the Trident Aegis case for my Evo 3D today and I gotta say it's awesome. However, it came with a screen protector. I applied it and decided I didn't want to keep it on there so I took it off. Ever since then my phone has randomly been acting up.

When I click the power button, the clock in the middle rotates back and forth as if I were clicking the screen, and proceeds to tell me to Pull the ring to unlock. Sometimes it'll just keep doing this even though my fingers are no where near the screen. I was going into texts and sending a message to my girlfriend and the typing worked fine, but I started to delete a word I mistyped and it acted as if I was holding down the delete button and deleted my entire message. I later tried to click send and it kept clicking on attachments.

When I was in the messages menu it was acting as if I was instantly holding down a contact and deleting threads. I'm so confused as to whats going on. I will not that this isn't consistent and for now it has calmed down. (scratch that the send thing is still happening. I can type the entire message perfectly and anywhere I click responds, but not send.) I suspect it has to have something to do with the screen protector I removed (just a static one) or the case itself, even though that doesn't make very much sense. Should I take it into Sprint if it starts happening again? Maybe just do factory reset?

UPDATE: They replaced my hboot 1.5 phone and for the hell of it I decided to check HBOOT version. The one I got came with HBOOT 1.40.0000, Jun 8, 2011.

I am ecstatic!

All I know is HBOOT 1.5 stuff though, so WAT DO.

Your digitizer is going out. A lot of people had that issue or are having it. That's how mine was and it just gradually got to a point where I couldn't use the phone. RIP.

Yup, this seems the case. Luckily I decided not to root my device just before this happened. I'm really not sure what caused it, but it's definitely not the case. After playing around in a painting program i found there's just a half-inch line that cannot be touched horizontally across the screen.

With insurance and the fact I bought it a week ago, they have to replace it.
