The Droid and the Moment suffer from this same issue. Whenever my phone is on the charger (regardless of if its hot or not) it has the crazy screen. Its at its worst when my phone is hot and greasy. When my phone is off the charger, I have no issues.

The droid I was playing with in the store, also had the same issue as it was hooked onto the charger and had the crazy screen. I couldn't get any kind of accurate pinch to zoom at some points.

 

hmm bazaar. hopefully they will recall those for you guys and give you replacements or something. and hopefully the evo doesn't have this same problem as well. im hoping the tft screen on the evo handles the heat better.

 

Well, when I left my Hero in my friends truck while we were moving furniture all day yesterday, my phone overheated. The temp was somewhere around 125.6 F. A *smidge* warm. Well, it never shutoff, though I would THINK at that temp it would for safety reasons. When I tried to tap the power down button after holding the power button, I had to hit it about 5 times, really MASHING it to get it to register. Kind of scared me that I'd screwed the phone over. Good thing I know that it isn't a detrimental problem, and that me leaving in a car in dead heat and direct sunlight isn't going to cause the internals to melt into a pudding of silicon and plastic.

 

i always wonder what id do without my slide out keyboard and trackpad cause when my phone is charging, those are the only things i can really use reliably with the screen being jerky. Trying to type on type on the on screen keyboard is futile when its charging and trying to long pressing on anything is pure hell. If not for the trackpad or slide out, I couldnt long press accurately nor type. (im hooked to the charger as i type btw lol).

Are you able to long press or text normally when your phone is in crazy screen mode?

 

I have two N1's and they do not have this issue no matter how hot they are. Sounds like your phone is defective.

 

Ditto.

I've never had this problem.

I've never had any problems with the phone.

 

I've had the 'crazy screen' issue exactly once. Also when my phone was charging. And However I have noticed that the screen is susceptible to heat.. I don't think it's the only factor. I have noticed that over 37

 

I'd be a little leery of the fridge test. It might solve the issue quickly, but wouldn't it introduce unnecessary humidity to the innards of the phone?

 

My battery has been at 43-45 degrees celcious at many times.

I've seen this after it's been in the Car Dock for a period of time. I too believe it is a temp thing and as others have mentioned, the docks turn lots of stuff on and charge at higher currents so heating is inevitable.

 

I had this this morning after leaving my phone on charge all night, it eventually rebooted itself then it was fine afterwads.

 

Also the same thing after driving to work with the BT enabled and the phone in my pocket in the case, no charher, wifi, GPS, etc connected.

Was hot to touch and the screen would not respond until it cooled down.
