Hello everyone!
I'm new here and purchased a wifi Xoom a month ago and I love it.
Recently though while using the Facebook app and Plants and Zombies they seem to be doing things automatically.
In Facebook while in the chat section it keeps going back to the main menu on its own.
In Plants vs Zombies the game keeps pausing itself every couple of minutes.
So far these are the only 2 apps that's I have found do these things. Could this be a software issue? I hope so as that could be fixed through a update.
Uninstall and reinstall.

Check to make sure you are not accidently touching the pause button or some other control. Remember that sometimes the touch screen will register even if your hand is just very close.to.touching the screen. Next, yes try to uninstall and reinstall the apps in question.
If the words SAVE THE CHEERLEADER start appearing on the home screen, sell the Xoom asap.

ROFLOL!
This is happening on my Xoom also. With Plants vs Zombies, Jenga, and Battleheart. I think I might do a factory reset.

Don't you think that is a bit extreme? well if you want to, but I have heard that Plants vs Zombies is laggy...don't know about the other two apps. Sometimes just a reboot will freshen up the system.

runs fast even on the XT720 and that phone is slower than SNS
no problem running it on SNS
Its like a little stutter sometimes when you fling the bird its kinda hard to notice was just wondering if it was just me maybe its the ads

I use ad blocker which works great to get rid of the ads.
Are you overclocking? Sometimes it lags for me at higher speeds and will even crash or reboot the phone.
1.2ghz is the sweet spot for my phone.

How frequent are these "lags"? Check your running services and battery use and make sure you don't have any rogue service or application utilizing your CPU.
Even on the NS you'll notice a slight jitter once in a blue moon. It's just the nature of a multitasking phone that some request or process may suddenly take away too much CPU from your current application.
closing apps , lowering to 1.2 from 1.3 and adfree seemed to have fixed it thanks
I have seen it in some levels, fairly infrequent. it stutters a bit. I given up playing it since I wiped and rooted my phone though
I noticed when I played a few minutes of st patty seasons on the subway the sound and animation wasn't completely in sync.. Nothing crazy though. Otherwise it was fine.

My touch screen some times becomes unresponsive after playing Home Run Battle and Plants vs. Zombies. Its only the touch that becomes unresponsive but my accelerometer still works. I have to restart the phone in order to fix it.

i had a lot of problems when i used advanced task killer on my phone similar to urs. If your using a task killer uninstall it and pull battery on phone then pop it in and boot up again see if it happens.
I definitely had this happen the other day. I wasn't playing any games and I don't have any task killers installed. I was in the middle of a text message when a call came through. I answered the call and then tried to resume my text but nothing was responding. I was still able to flip the phone sideways but I couldn't tap anything at all. I had to do a restart. That was frustrating and I hope it was a one time thing!
I found out that mine was a app called juice defender......it was messing mine up really bad.....uninstalled it and my phone responds....perfect now!!!!!

yeah a lot of people r complaining about hardware and software on HTC's side, but a lot of it has to do with these phones still being pretty new alot of devs havent had the time to make their apps fully compatible with our sensations
I had the same problem yesterday, everything but the screen working, however rather than rebooting, i found that i could pull the top bar down then back up and screen worked again
this is because phone is overheating and the screen gives problems.
I think another charger will resolve this problem or if its `SW problem, OTA will be released...

Your right. It only happens after my phone heats up from gaming for a while. It also happens when the phone is not on its charger.

I had the same problem (not those same games but in some apps and the security pattern lock). I just disabled the Tell HTC option and haven't had a problem since.
EDIT: Wait, when did PvZ come out for Android??

Awhile ago. It's on the Amazon Appstore.
My screen doesn't become unresponsive if I play PvZ, but if I play it for too long, Sense reloads when I exit out of the game.

Looking in the forums for something to do to fix the touchscreen being all buggy I disabled Tell HTC and that worked for me!

Now that i think about it, ever since i stopped using rosie my phone doesnt do this anymore.
My son loves watching cartoon on YouTube on my phone, but he's only 19 months old and always exits YouTube accidentally.
Is there an app where I can lock the screen and all the buttons without the screen turning off?

Thanks. Could you please send me a PM if you find it
I might suggest kid mode. It has a preset selection of games and videos as well as painting and reading. It has a child lock feature, and it emails weekly updates on what my son has done and copies of his drawings. You can also authorize the apps on your phone to be used during it too, so if there is a certain game that he enjoys, it will be on his list. My son loves monkey preschool lunch box, but he's 3.

All game 3D of Tegra Zone. Shadowgun, Sonic, Dead Trigger, GTA III and Shine Runner.
After few minuts the sound and control continue, but the image freeze.
In every single game that you mentioned?? The exact same thing happens??
That doesn't sound right at all... I would try resetting to factory defaults if you are truly having that same problem with all of those games...

Does this happen immediately after a reboot?
If I've had mine turned on for several days sometimes a game will crash when I open it. After one crashes, everything else crashes when opened.
If I power down and restart or reboot from terminal it's just like new
Happens to me as well. I haven't played any of the graphic intensive games cause of the freezing. Sucks. Starts off good then studdering freeze.

For me all ok after hard reset. Few app installed after hard reset.
I also had this issue when installing a lot of applications. After uninstalling the ones I don't really need, everything seems to work fine... even without a factory reset.

A lot of apps, after installing, run in the background, taking away precious resources (especially memory) that the games you mention need.
My procedure to play gfx intensive games (Dead Trigger, MC3, Nova 3, FL Commando, Six Guns, Agent Dash, Heroes Call THD, Dark Meadow, etc) is:
reboot
run FMR Memory Cleaner (press clean button)
start the game (once the launcher has restarted if FMR has "cleaned" it)
I use System Tuner's widget to keep an eye out on the amount of memory that is free. If the amount is 600MB or more (free) the games run fine. Anything less, and I will reboot first.

Did you try reinstalling it?
Along with that, did you in the Settings -> Applications -> Downloaded -> Subway Surfers:
Clean cache?
Remove Data?
Uninstall?
Yes i have fine that. it's not a huge deal i almost never play that game just winding if it's fixable
