Treo 750 display driver problem?

I have a treo 750. Its used and I don't know what the guy before me tried to do with it, but it looks like all he did was install the official WM5 to WM6 update. My problem now (and part of the reason he sold it) is that there seems to be some serious screen corruption. I'm inclined to think there may be a driver issue? I cant even see the bootscreen. All I can see are a couple of vertical and horizontal bars (mostly around the top) with a multicolor spectrum. The rest of the screen is blank. Hard-reset, soft-reset, neither works to fix it. Oddly, if I access the device through MyMobiler and regedit/change to font to something that it hasn't used before (ex. calibri, arial) it seems to bring it back to life... still no boot screen, but the os will work fine. If I put it in standby mode and then try and bring it back on, I'm back to the corrupt screen. At the moment I've turned off the power-idle feature and just let it go to backlight off while leaving the device on all the time, but I cant leave it like that forever. Any thoughts? Am I able to update the display driver or something?
PS. Display works on my PC through MyMobiler with no problem.
Thanks in advance.

having exact same problem
I am having the exact same problem. The only way to avoid the display corruption seems, like you said, to avoid putting the phone in standby mode... but then leaving it like that all day will drain the battery very fast, obviously.
I'm curious as to what the cause is. My phone is out of warranty already. Purchased summer 2007.
rjackets, have you done anything since your post?

Hey i Still have the same problem, did anyone find an answer yet?

Is this what you're seeing? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bootloader.jpg

no, it's like all the 1st vertical pixels get extended to the right end and the lines keep flashing, i kind find my battery atm but it looks something like this texture, just with pixels:

New error: "Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware."

I was using my phone normally, (chatting on msn and got a text message) when the phone locked up completely. Mine hasn't ever just locked up before but I waited a minute to see if it would recover before I finally used the stylus to do a soft reset. But instead of booting now my phone just displays this message.

Rebooting the phone from that just gave me the same message. I could still get into the boot-loader etc so I did a hard-reset on the phone. Still got the same message.
I was about to try flash a new rom to it when I thought I'd try pull the battery out, wait a couple of minutes and put it back in. Now my phone boots again!
I'm not sure if it would have worked without the hard reset or not but obviously some hardware had got itself into an error state and a hard/soft resets wouldn't clear it.
Good luck.

heh. thats very interesting.

hmmm what rom were you running?

It was ROMeOS 1.62 but I suspect it was a hardware problem as opposed to just something in the ROM because a hard reset didnt fix it. Not until I pulled the battery out did it boot again. I figured that seeing I had reset it and had to set the rom up again I'd change to ROMeOS 1.70
I just posted it because I hadn't ever seen this before and figured I'd save someone else panicing for a few minutes.

This message typically means that OS loader could not initialize the hardware. If the ROM you are using was cooked with a XIP from another model, it's possible that there are some weird compatibility issues.
Another possible cause if corruption of RAM of NAND flash data...

just had the same problem on mine. Thank god for this forum! i was freaking out

BTW, I am running one of NATF's ROMs, too lazy to look up the version right now

OMG, just got the same problem on blackstone...
Same resolution except that I had to wait 15 minutes with the battery out before it worked again...
Thank you very much for the post!!!

If my theories on this are correct, your battery is loose. Open up your phone and check if your battery slides around.

Lock Screen Locked for a month and a half..

So, I was over at a friend's dinner party, and a friend of mine was screwing around with my phone. She tried the password a bunch of times, then was at the 2 minute lock timer, and I don't know if the battery came loose or something, but the screen went black and wouldn't turn back on. So she gave me back the phone, I took out the battery and put it back in to reboot.
I get the phone locked wait for x amount of time thing.. for 113 6xx minutes.

Edit: I just looked at the numbers and just realized I'm an edited. It's 2 and a half months. lol.
I do know the PIN, but I don't want to wait that long. And I really don't want to reset it since I got a few things I want to keep on there. Is there any way around this?
Additional info: Samsung Focus, developer unlocked, running latest updates.
Please help me out. Thanks!

Connect to Zune and restore it to previous backup. or better post in MS phone support forums for quick help

n do post the solution here when u get it

I figured my only option would be to restore or hard reset. I restored it to my last point which was about a month ago which isn't too bad, but I wish I had a later restore point.
In addition, I just realized it set the date and time to Oct 18 for some reason, which is exactly 78.xxx days (amount of minutes left) of the timer away from the current date.
So for anybody who can figure it out, the lock timer probably can be changed by learning how to change to date and time through another method. I was thinking Zune could sync up with it somehow, but I didn't feel like trying. Needed my phone.
Thanks

Yeah get that girl to buy you a new phone or rent one for 2 and a half months lol
lol enough with the giggles you're best solution would be to restore from previous versions

No service with valid sim card

Hi everyone,
I'm having a very bad issue with my Nexus 5.
Last week, my mobile network stopped working, always displaying "No service".
The sim card was still recognized, since I had to enter my pin code after each reboot.
So I tried to put my sim card in a friend's phone, and it worked perfectly on his.
Next, I called Google tech support to get some information and they simply sent me another Nexus 5 to solve the issue.
The thing is, I'm having the same issue with the new phone, but it's even worse.
The sim card is not recognized at first when I reboot the phone.
After I put it out and in once, it asks me for my pin code. And then, I get the "No service" again.
If I try to make a call it says : "Turn off airplane mode to make a call" (see attached screenshot). I tried to turn it on and off, nothing works.
I must precise that the network worked as a charm with the new phone for 3 days and then nothing.
I tried several sim cards from different service providers, and I get the exact same issue every time. and boot in safe mode but i get the no service again

Here is my configuration :
Android 6.0.1
Security patch level : 1 january. 2016
Baseband version : M8974A-2.0.50.2.28
Build number number : MMB29S
Is anyone having this issue ?
Thanks.

There is a known problem with the N5 where a totally dead battery can kill the radio component. No, it makes no sense to me either, but after it happened to me I did a lot of reading across many forums and discovered I wasn't alone. Flashing half a dozen different ROMs made no difference. Eventually I contacted Google and, as with you, they replaced my N5 with a refurbished model which has worked perfectly ever since.
All I can suggest is that you report the second phone to Google and hope that they will replace it again.

[HELP!] eMMC Software Download App problems with Nokia 8 (No Phone. State stuck) :(

Hi everyone!
For almost a couple of months I have been dealing with my bricked Nokia 8, it became like this on its own, I did absolutely nothing to it, this is one of the greatest mysteries I've come across and been living in misery since.
If you want to know the full extent and description, you can check it in my original post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/help/help-nokia-8-powering-unresponsive-t3993959
Since then I have posted in the Noob thread and have been communicating with others, to the point that I've been trying my phone out with QPST, in particular the eMMC Software Download App. The reason being that I am wanting to gain access to my deep internal storage and do a full backup of the device, before I do any flashing or repairing to unbrick that would erase my data completely (I am in desperate need to retrieve my contacts and SMS messages as they are not backed up online or offline. It is also making my work life incredibly difficult and loosing out on jobs )
Long story short, my Nokia 8 gets recognised in device manager in 15 minutes after connected by USB as Qualcomm 9008 (before it was QSUSB_BULK but I installed the Qualcomm drivers manually).
I then proceed to open emmc software download app, and after wanting to "Switch device to DLOAD" I get this happening:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It remains in that state with no progression (looks like 20%) and I have tried this again and after leaving it for more than 2 hours it's still the same and gives me this error message after selecting Okay.
However, if I unplug and re-plug USB, then open again emmc software download app, and then click DLOAD button to select phone, I get this:
The State is now Enabled but no more Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download), it just says No Phone.
Any idea what this means???
Does anyone know if they may have experienced this whatsoever? And if anyone can help me on this??
I would really really appreciate it!
