It's a known issue. First of all I advise you to search keywords "blacklight" or "backlight" in I9003 forums.
I didn't faced that issue so don't know much about it but this may help.

Also take a look at to that

Suggest your friend to update the device to GB...
I also faced this issue on Froyo..
If he wants to stay on froyo..
Ask him to update to latest froyo version...

Hey guys,
So I just bought a 2month used Infuse 4G originally locked to AT&T.
I've been noticing some issues and will try to explain it as clear as I can. Supposedly the person I bought it from said it was an OS issue...Hope you all can shed some light!
So pretend you're using your lovely android Infuse 4G and you're texting. All of a sudden you find yourself at the home screen, interrupted from your messaging. A couple of "huh's?" and "...wtf"'s you resume re-typing your text message.
Later you're on the highway driving to a new joint. The GPS signal has finally locked and you're cruising. All of a sudden, your GPS asks you if you want to end navigation. You look at your phone as if its a zombie and you quickly tap the 'cancel' option. Moments later, you notice the phone is back at the home screen and Google maps navigation is running in the background. You bring it back up. A few minutes later, the menus at the bottom come up. You tap the screen to make it go away and keep driving. This happens many more times while you drive even though you've already taken off the phone case.
So it seems like a ghost is touching the capacitive buttons. Not just one of those, ALL of them (Menus, home, search, back) while using the phone. It's not very frequent, but its enough to be aggravating.
Please advise, thanks!
Is there a case or screen protector on the phone? if so try removing and see if the problem persists

No offense but maybe when you hold your phone in landscape mode your palm touches them. Happens to me all the time.

Most likley a kernel issue.Go to your about section and check your kernel and rom version....if your already on a custom rom/kernel, then you might have to Odin back to stock.

It's not an O/S issue .... well, it may be on YOUR device but not a general issue. If you do an Odin full restore to stock and still have the problem you now know why the guy sold it after 2 months.

None taken! I've actually left the phone w.o a case on a table. Its pretty scary to see your phone randomly show the menu from the home screen as if you pressed the button and then close that menu itself as if you were to press the back button...

Not sure what an Odin full restore is, but i'll look into it and give it a shot. Not surprisingly, my Infuse 4G is also among the few that have a GPS signal issue. The phone locks after 30 mins if Im lucky...
I didn't pay $434 for a phone that doesnt work properly/involves tweaking just to make simple features work...*sigh*
Anyone else having a problem when trying to turn their screen off? My screen turns off and then immediately turns back on and brings me to the lock-screen. I have to press the power button 3-4 times in order for me to turn the screen off and keep it off. I use a case, but even with the case removed this still happens. VERY annoying, any help would greatly be appreciated!
EDIT: This happens to me on every rom I flash, I've used ARHD, InsertCoin, Pyramid3D, Sense-O-Maniac, and am currently running Hypernonsense. Same problem persists throughout, so I'm guessing the rom is not the problem
That is a very known issue, if you are on stock rom and recovery, you would be able to download an update from HTC, (if you live in Europe or USA) that would "delete" the error.
I'm having the same issue as well. Although it's a small little error, it can get annoying/irritating. My phone is fully updated from HTC and I'm having this problem.

Hmmm... I am going through a similar problem... I've noticed that when this unresponsiveness occurs and I keep my phone for charging the touch becomes normal again. But as soon as I disconnect the problem comes back.
I had this issue before too. When I was on TheFrankestains miui v10.5... And now I am on RemICS v2.
I'll like to mention here that on v1 of RemICS I didn't face this issue. In v2 the developer did mention a change in the kernel.
Also another er thing with the unresponsiveness the bln is acting weird too. Now I don't know what to conclude from all this.
And ya when it had occurred before I did take it to the customer service. And all they did was remove my screen guard and reflash the stock. :what:
The problem disappeared that time but it has resurfaced again. :sly:

Even I'm facing this issue and thats the exact reason i'm not going to service center. I doubt its a H/W issue cause the screen does work! If it had been a H/W problem then the shouldnt have been any touch response!
Its might be similar to backlight issue but too bad we're facing it on stock aswell.
I had posted a logcat in the dev ICS thread but no response from anyone.
If there are more people facing this issue then please come forward.
I got only one phone. . And i cant use it.

I'm on ICS Alpha V6 . I get this problem occasionally.
Problem occurs when i get a call and the touch becomes unresponsive. Not all the times but sometime. If i lock the screen and unlock it becomes proper. Sometimes it takes 2-3 locks and unlocks. Weird. Never had this problem in stock before .
Everytime this problem starts after a call. Happens on stock as well as custom Roms. Can't figure out if it's software or hardware problem. But the touch becomes normal when the phone's kept on charging.
Anyways going back to the customer service tomorrow. Will tell them to change the touch panel.

Probably Hardware, i am using RemICS v2 and NOT experiencing this issue on both my device and my sister's device (tried the call thing too)
I advise you guys to go to the service center (without a screen protector) and with the stock rom (so they don't have to flash anything) so they see it live, and hence there's no point of flashing stock again (over stock lulz) they'll probably change the screen for you.
i have the same problem now.. i dunno if i will ever get this phone fixed. my warranty's expired for a month.

Well all of a sudden my screen is working now, touch wood.
I'm in Chennai right now. Was having the problem in goa. Don't know if the weather has made a difference.
Will find out when I get back to goa.
Btw, I had flashed UCv15 yesterday. So try flashing it and stay on it for a few days.

Everyone needs Help here dude...!!!
Same problem for everyone...
is it more likely to be a hardware issue??
It is a Hardware issue.
I gave my phone to the Service Centre yesterday. I called them today to check on the status. They said it's a hardware issue so they'll give it tomorrow. Let's hope for the best...
BTW I will get an extended warranty on the replaced part, won't I?

And the problem is back. Not entirely though.
After deep sleep if I unlock the phone, the touchscreen doesn't work. I have to lock and unlock to get it working.
After unlocking, once the display goes off, the menu and back keys stop working. Have to lock unlock again.
Had flashed cm9 stock kernel yesterday morning since gps isn't working for me in UCv15. Didn't face any problem yesterday after flashing stock kernel.

Got my phone back today. They replaced my touch panel. Everything fine for now.
Let's see if it really was the problem.
Back to ICS.

A question I want to ask, do the ppl who got this problem use a back cover?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA
by back cover you mean protective case? if so, yes i do!
and the touch panel means the digitizer right?
I have a stock unrooted i9020A running the Jelly Bean 4.1.1 OTA. I did a factory reset after the OTA came in and reinstalled everything from scratch.
Once or twice per day, the phone will just initiate Google Search (as if I had pressed the little magnifying glass capacitive button) and will repeatedly try to enter Google search even as I am repeatedly hitting the back button to exit Google search. The magnifying glass capacitive button will sometimes blink as this is happening.
It happens when I am using the phone, but I am 100% certain I have not come anywhere close to touching the magnifying glass button, so I know I am not causing it to do this.
It's pretty annoying because the phone basically becomes unusable for 30-60 seconds as it repeatedly attempts to enter Google search and I am fighting with it not to.
Anybody else experience this or have any suggestions?
Thanks.
This has happened to me! On my first NS, my back button would press itself, but it would flash as if I were pressing it. Unfortunately, I never found a solution as a few days later, the screen died, and I got my whole phone replaced as it was still under warranty.

No problem, also keep in mind the capacitive buttons work with heat (I think), this may have something to do with the problem. But as I said, I'm not really sure. Good luck

I've been running into this problem as well recently and from the looks of things people experienced this way back to the gingerbread days. I've checked Google forums and people were plagued with this search firing on its own. It is reported by some that when the 3G is low it opens on its own and I can attest to that, that it is happening to me when my 3G it's low.
I had this problem a long time ago and I fixed it by flashing a different radio.
The one that worked for me was UCKF1-GRK39F (this is for my device i9020a). If you plan to change your radio, make sure you flash the correct one for your device.
I have this problem. Radios, ROMs, Kernels, nothing seems to cause or fix it. One thing I would do is lock it then wipe the screen entirely (thinking maybe my finger grease is causing it).. Come to think of it, I've also always had a screen protector on it as well, so that might have something to do with it.
The best solution I've found for mine is to disable the Search button in CM10.
Hey guys! I woke up this morning in a rush, tried to make a text and phone rebooted. Now it wont stop rebooting. I've managed to get it into recovery and flashed CM10 again and nothing. I managed to get it to stop for a bit, but almost every time I hit the sleep/wake button to lock the screen it turns off!!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!
No eh?
Well it seems to be a hardware issue. Almost every time I lock the phone it wants to hard reboot. Sometimes when I'm in an app the power button menu shows up too. This is driving me insane.
Has anyone else had this issue!? I'm running cm10 so I guess my only option is to contact HTC?
Many questions u full wiped right? Have u tried flashing back to stock if that doesn't work have u tried ruu all of these should be done and if it persists after that than yes something janky is going on with your phone...did you mess with the CPU at all?
Why not try flashing another Rom and see if it still does it. Hope this helps in some way
