Hey, I was riding my friends bmx and i crassed and i landed exaxtly on the phone, now its black, but when i got home, the screen like poped or how u say it, that it got the picture back, but then it went straight away, so wat could be wronge, some cable loose, or something broken
broken screen, you need a new one
No, its not broken, it just took the picture back on and it has stayed on atlest 1h, but there are some stripes at the bottom
ok, its cracked, but you still need replacement
Oo, but will something bad happened if i dont get the replacement now and dont get the phone to service
sincerely doubt it
such a small crak maybe got some glass wondering around, but I suspect it may ever do damage

So I guess I'm the only idiot that's dropped his Fuze... Well maybe not the only, but the first that dropped it in such a way to not cause any (visible) physical damage, but enough to make the phone inoperable. Fair enough, I can accept the Dunce cap for this one.
The Phone works, receives calls/messages, even sync's with Activesync. Just one problem, The screen is black. The backlight turns on, but no image is displayed. Not even any of the boot screens. Sounds work, I sync'ed up all my data, everything seems fine, except for the screen.
So here is my Dilemma: Is there anything I can do to fix the phone? Or Am I going to have to re-flash the device to factory settings and try to call att/htc to get a replacement for a device that "just stopped working"?
I'd rather fix it myself just to avoid dealing with the carrier/manufacturer, but if that's my only option than so be it. Please Advise.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
You can try MyMobiler:
http://www.brothersoft.com/mymobiler-116759.html
But there might be something to accept/allow on the cellphone itself to see the screen. So maybe you can navigate to something on your phone to get it to work. Other than that, I have no idea.
Good luck, maybe reflashing doesn't seem like too bad of an idea.
sell it to me, its broken
Happened to my Kaiser, screen was white though, rather than black.
Take all the data off you can with MyMobiler and reflash a stock rom. Should still be covered under warranty. I did the exact same thing with my Kaiser.
Flashed the standard ATT upgrade rom, brought it in to warranty replacement and said the screen randomly turned white.
In and out in a few minutes with a new Kaiser. He made me keep my old battery back.
Because it is a problem where no physical damage is apparent, it will be difficult for them to determine if it is simply a manufacture defect where the screen went bad or if it is user accidental.
I actually dropped my Fuze for the first time last night (or this morning, I dont recall). My best friends girlfriend clothelined me while I was texting and the phone went flying, back fell off and battery chucked out. Slid across the ground for a bit. A tiny dent in a corner and some nice scratches on the stock screen protector, other than that A-okay. Invisible shield helped quite a bit ^.^
(I use invis body shield and stock screen protectors, the IS is a strange texture and too grippy for a screen protector)
I have dropped my Touch PRO about 5 times to tarmac while getting out from the car but nothing happened yet
do you have insurance on the phone? if you do, then its covered otherwise it is unfortunate.. all new phones, especially ppc's I insure with my local SF insurance.. that is the rule.

Same exact thing happened to me minus the clothesline. Landed on the corner, back and battery popped out, powered it back up and black screen of death. Didn't want to wait till tomorrow to get it replaced but oh well, I'll be even more careful than I already am with it. I just need to reflash it to the stock ROM/SPL now. Thankfully I still have my Tilt as a backup.

I do have insurance, when they offered it at the Store I almost said yes before the rep finished explaining it. So I'll just reflash it to a stock ROM/SPL and get it replaced tomorrow.
If you guys have the fuze through AT&T then you can get warranty replacements quite easily as long as there isn't obvious physical damage suggesting user abuse, ie no crushed screens, liquid damage, etc.
Someone here might suggest that this is unethical abuse of the warranty exchange system, but I will vehemently disagree! Cell phones should absolutely be able to withstand occasional drops from pocket level to concrete, as this is a quite common occurence. Hell, my laptop was designed to be able to take a fall from a table top.
So I would suggest you call AT&T and tell them your screen just stopped working one day. Say you've done a hard reset and everything else they'll suggest you try, and they'll send you a refurb in the mail with a box to send yours back in. I would suggest reflashing the stock rom and spl before returning, though.
BTW, if I were to guess about the cause for the inoperable screen, it would be that the lcd connector came loose in the jolt from the fall. So if for some reason warranty exchange isn't an option, perhaps you could venture into the guts of your device and try firmly reseating the connector...
This is the second fuze ive owned... and this is also the second time this has happened. In the middle of the screen there is a small block of like a rainbow of colors... but you can only see it in certain light...
Has anyone else ever come across this?

Mine too.. But i have a screen protector on it so I figured maybe its the screen protector? never really check it without the screen protection.
Yes.
My first fuze did this after a few days, its an exact square with sort of a frame, I was thinking it was condensation, but my phone has been dry always....
I thought it was weird that it was square shaped and a almost perfect square.
Anyone know what this is?
Yep...nothing unusual for raph unfortunatelly...my old post:

BTW, this is well known issue by HTC so replacement is in most cases done free of charge as a part of warranty. Eventhough I've heard that in some cases in UK, HTC was demanding some kind of payment for replacement.
Anyway, this cannot be fixed in any other way but replacing the screen....afaik
I was told that it means that the screen under the digitizer is broken. Most likely from pressure on the middle of the screen.

Oh man, mine just expanded Can I know what did you guys do?
Pressure between flat wires, conductive tapes and backside of LCD screen causes the problem. You should take apart your Raphael to see the back of LCD. There is a very thing black tape around the display. Check it for any kinf of damage. If there is no sign of penetration, make the same thin tape from any kind of office tape and place it over dark one. I hope this can help you.
Be a HTC Indiana Jones, take the danger and DIY!
i was just about to start a post about this. the middle of my screern (75% of the screen) has these rainbow swirls and they form a perfect rectangle. you can also see a grid of dots. once i noticed this square i started havin problems where its as if someone is pressing the touchscren just on top right corner of this rectangle. so i cant go through menus and it will randomly go away. it also happens on other random locations. can someone explain what i should do?
Mine just did the same thing. The phone seems to work normally. I called and I am sending it in for warranty repair. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in the future? If they replace the screen, do they have some process in place to prevent the same issue? I really love this phone!
Oh, and now my iPhone loving friends are all saying, "You shoulda got an iPhone!" I dont want a crappy iPhone, I just want a good screen! This is my second phone already.....I have never dropped or abused it in any way.... I really wish they used better quality screens. i can do tons more stuff with my phone that my "iPhone friends" cannot....
UPDATE: to anyone who gets this problem. I finally got around to calling ATT and they say its not a known problem so its not covered within warrenty. They want 500 to fix it.... Then I called HTC and they said this is whats known as a Newton ring and its due to pressure applied to the screen so they wont fix it under warrenty. Now they are asking for 200 for it to be fixed. Not worth the fix if u ask me. Thier rep was pretty shocked it was on a Fuze and said hes seen this before and they never fix it under warrenty so its not worth sending it in unless im prepared for the bill.
I managed to break the screen on my Optimus 3d last night, not sure if it was dropped or ran over. I found it face down in my driveway this morning and to my horror when I flipped it over the screen was completely smashed, however the phone is still working fine, minus the never ending ghost call issue.
What make the situation worse is Rogers just sent me out a replacement phone yesterday and I have to send this one back, in the next couple days.
So I called a repair centre and they wanted $190 to repair the phone, and stated they would need to replace the LCD and the glass screen. I know there is nothing wrong with the LCD screen, phone functions and all colours are good, just has broken glass.
My question is, can I repair just the glass without replacing the LCD? I have found the screen for around $30 on ebay. Based on watching the how to on youtube it doesn't look like too difficult of a job.
me too i have broke my glass of my phone and they said like your prize to replace thre glass but in my country crunncy and the screen work perfectly I don't know why they want to change the screen too it's annoying

If your LCD is working you only need the digitizer replaced (phone front + touch screen) which costs you around 20/30$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...080?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2d78e968 .
My touchscreen was broken (randomly pressing things on the screen) and I think the 2nd hand shop I got it from only replaced the digitizer I think based on the small dust I see on my screen.
This only works if your LCD doesn't show blurry or (partially) black (damaged).
Hi, I had my z3 screen replaced the other day, I got it back the next day and was delighted at the screen, it was perfectly fine. I got the phone home (stupidly didn't test in the shop) and popped my sim in, and had no service for about an hour, despite going all over my house.
So I took my phone back and they said they had to replace a part, so I received my phone back with signal, then the top of the screen had a very faded flickering, it was like a inner glow. I took it back and they had it for another day, I got the phone back to zero signal coverage, and now I can actually see the screen coming away on the left hand side (it's actually not flush with the case)
So I need somebody who is basically a mobile engineer to help me troubleshoot the problem so I'm more armed when I go in next, because obviously my phone was perfectly fine prior to the cracked screen repair.
Thanks for the help guys!

1. Use only OME screen replacement and dont forget to use the OME screen adhesive to stick the screen to the phone otherwise you gonna have a very bad time i.e your screen is slowing gonna come off the frame and you might not be able to use your proximity sensors and harsh movement might damage the screen. Whatever you do, do not apply pressure too much on the sceeen you might crack the digitalizer inside and also make the led bleed.
2. No signal might be because they did not connect the radio cable well or just damaged it.
My personal advise :
Go see professionals or repair it yourself

I replaced the LCD of my Z3 by watching tut video on witrigs.com but the new screen is not flush with the phone body ( but back cover is super slush) and like in your case its now coming off from one side. I think I got a duplicate LCD from the seller. But when I went to sony service center first time to replace the screen, their cost was almost half the cost of the phone. So I ordered LCD on ebay and the adhesive stickers on aliexpress. Now I am ordering new adhesive stickers from aliexpress as old ones are coming off. Dont know why its not flush fit.
So I advise to you is that watch that video guide on witrigs and then decide which way u want to go. service center or DIY. Also you will need the toolkit to open the phone. heat gun or hair dryer, screwdriver set, guitar picks, tweezers etc
In india, sony service is horrible so I always refrain going there.
Thanks for the response guys, this is the catch - I only took my phone into a local phone repair shop, I had to take it back in today and they said if they can't solve the issue with the new parts coming in tomorrow, they're going to have to send it back to sony and get it repaired that way. So hopefully my phone will be fixed, I am competent at the DIY it's just I didn't want to ruin any ribbons or anything and brick my phone.
I'll see how I get on.
This morning I noticed some kind of mark on my screen. It's not a scratch to the glass more like something under the screen. It's small but once I noticed it it's hard not to see it.
Haven't cracked the screen or had anything done to the screen.
Contact the supplier if there is a defect.
So Verizon?
I have the same issue. They won't replace your phone for it. At least sprint won't. I have a tiny black spec under my screen like a solid single dust particle. It's not a dead pixel and not a scratch. It was there the moment I turned my phone on for first time. I just deal with it lol. It bothers me though
Lol I'll try to get a picture with another phone. Looks like some glue that's got dust on it now.
So I just take it to Verizon now.
