Srry title is supposed to say Help with HTC Touch Pro for sprint....it Woke up with a bad case of stupidity
So i wake up 2day and i find that my Sprint Htc Touch Pro's screen is like jumping around like crazy...the touch screen still works and all but it moves around non stop. i can still make out where lets say the all the button are so i can still find my way around the phone but its sooooo annoying. so i pressed the restart button on the botton hoping it would fix it and when is turns back on it just goes 2 a blue screen. so i pressed the button again and now a green screen which soon turns white. pressed again and not its a black screen with the logo Touch pro on the bottom and the red little numbers and letter on the top...(the Touch Pro logo is usually in the middle and the Numbers and letters on the bottom....) so it finally loads up and the screen is still messed up. so i went crazy, i got home from school and i saved all my contacts but coping the Pim file to my 1gb memory card and did the clear storage to once again hopefully fix everything. well it didnt but atleast i still hav my contacts. ha ha...(im laughing so that i dont cry) everything still work though, i can send txt, talk on the phone, and do everything else....but cant see anything cuz he screen is jumping around. and no im not an imbecile and messed up on the modding and messed the phone up...or else it would done this a looong time ago.... so any help will b soooooo helpful. oh and i took out the battery and put it back in the still doesnt fix anything. sometimes the screen stays blue and doesnt do anything...*tear falls on keyboard* lol
have you tried a hard reset?
i did...i went into clear storage and did the whole 1234 and then press yes. didnt do anything beside erase everything and then go back 2 crazy jumping screen....
Any fixes?
Black_Yoshi,
I was wondering if you found any solutions to your "screen jumpiness". I have got the same problem happening on my Touch Pro. Just started happening acouple days ago. Cant put a finger on what caused it, sprint will probably say water damage. I have the TEP except its my 3rd one in 12 months so they will cancel the program..
Any luck? Thanks

YOur display is most likely going out. That started happening to my touch pro and with in three days the screen just went black so i took it the the sprint store and they change the screen display

So something really weird just happened.
I had my phone charging. When i pick it up, i notice that there's a portion of the screen thats stuck.
It shows the left and right soft keys from the home screen and some of the tf3d icons. At first i tought it was the phone lagging or stuck. But even after a soft reset, taking taking the battery out, and even hard resetting, my screen still showed the left and right soft keys and the icons. I can even see them in the splash screen.
Very bizarre. I contemplated flashing stock os and spl, and try to get a replacement. But about 20 minutes later, it slowly disappeared.
I wish i could have taken a picture just to show you.
Just wanted to share.

something similar happend to me.. it was after i was using you tube some of the pixels on my home screen where still red and white like where the youtube logo normaly is.. i tried a few thigns but lukly mine went back to normal after a soft reset.. but it hasnt happend again since.. hows ur battery life. cuz wow mine is not good.. im always carryin a car charger and charge it at home as much as possible bc i dont want to be stuck with out a phone when im out
Same here, it could be the software driver for the LCD screen. It doesn't refresh the pixels sometimes and we get this ghost image for a while...
Hi all.
I recently came into the posession of one of these awesome devices.
my only problem is that when turned on, the screen comes on but is just pure white.
the device seems to boot up ok as you can hear all the noises in the background, also the digitizer works as the backlight comes on when you touch the screen and you can hear windows mobile clicking away.
could this be the lcd thats broken? or could it be an issue with the mainboard?
anyone have any ideas? or have had the same problem?
i just dont wanna go out and buy a new screen to find out thats not the problem lolol.
(btw i have tried hard reseting multiple times and that dosent seem to be the problem)
thanks all.
Um how du know that you have HR properly if you cannot see the screen, or can you see it on the HR screen?
Also if you can can you see the bootloader, and have you tried a different rom, never know it may work
heya chris, thanks for the reply.
reason i know it has hard reset ok is i used a htc touch next to it to guage where the setup screen (screen calib etc) buttons were and tapped on the digitizer unitll it got to the main screen and reset itself after customisation (took friggin aages to do that lol)
then managed to fudge it to get media player running by using the arrow buttons etc.
sayin that what combo of buttons do youse to HR. ill give it a try if theres another way ;-)
For me its ok and windows key, the one beneath the send and end keys
Then when booted it will say "blah" and press send to restore. Press send then it will take about 15 seconds or so to restore then it reset's and boots up again.
To do the bootloader its the camera button and reset, but i dont know if thats helpful if you cant see the screen!!
Um is it still under warrenty if so go that route and if not try taking it apart and then try to see if any of the screen connectors are loose i think that someone has done this already on here with pictures if you want some help with it.
tried the hard reset again and still met with the same white screen. dang...
as for warranty, its an ex business phone i got through my work so no warranty, and i have since stripped it down 3 times to look for faults.
have tried slotting the ribbon cable in and out of its socket and had no luck.
hmm i would say maybe new motherboard or screen, which you prob already know by now.
Apart from that im out of ideas as to what to say would be a solution for the problem with it or how to fix it without replacing parts
cheers for all your help chris.
i think ill just have to take the dive and order a new screen.
god i hope its the screen lol
Ok, so I've had my Fuze like 4 or 5 months now and have had no problems until a day or two ago. I try to do anything, my screen does not work properly. I touch somewhere and it doesn't register it 95% of the time. I looked at the screen and there seems to be a little liquid under there but I don't know how it got there, I put a screen protector on it the whole time I've had it and it just appeared out of nowhere and it's never had any kind of liquid spilt on it or anything. I try to click on the text box for SMS in touchflo 2.1 and it won't go in there and it starts moving the text messages up and down and opening task manager randomly and whenever I open the start menu it goes right into moving the items around. I have tried reflashing but have not yet tried to go back to stock. I'm going to try that and if it doesn't work I'm takin it in to AT&T to see if they can either give me a new one or fix it.
I have had the same problem with my screen on Touch Pro.
I had to get the phone repaired under warranty. I think HTC replaced the screen.
Search the forums, quite a few people have had this problem.
Has it been exposed to heat?
Seeing as your a fellow texan, have you left it in your car or under direct sunlight for a prolonged period?
I'd look up an At&t Device Support center and take it to them, they should change the device on the spot if there's no physical damage and its still under warranty.
Make sure you revert to the Stock/Shipped ROM and SPL (i wouldn't worry too much about the SPL though if you can't get it, i've turned in 2 devices with a hardSPL and nothing ever happened, but its better to be safe then sorry right?)
best of luck
Within the last hour my touch screen will not work or respond to anything. I have done a soft reset, removed the battery and nothing. The buttons on the phone work (send, back, home etc.) but the screen wont respond. I noticed a little oil spot in the last few days but it was working fine. I need some help here
I too..
am having the same problem as of this morning....
I got this problem 2 days ago. If someone changed the screen and it started working please reply it.
Same here.I used to flash NRG's Roms and i had always the same issue.The screen was tapping by her self at the down left side.Only by soft reseting the device it was stopping.Now i tried 2 flash another rom but unfortunately, i'm stuck in the beggining.And 2 be more precise at the screen alignment procedure.Nothing works except the buttons but in this moment are useless
Check this out.It might help

Same problem! I also have the little blue oil spot. Not sure how it happened -- could've sworn it was safe in my pocket since the last time it was working. Did it get wet or something?

Hey guys, i'll try to explain the situation as best i can below, hopefully someone can work out what is wrong.
My phone is about 16 months old. About 2 months ago i dropped it twice within the space of a couple weeks. There were a few cracks along the screen, however it wasn't very noticeable and i wasn't going to bother having it fixed. The problem started a couple of weeks ago when i went to grab it out of my pocket, however i found out the screen was black and it wouldn't turn on. I don't really know how to describe it but it was acting very strange...
- The screen would have white/gray bars all over it then turn off, then it would do the same with very thin vertical lines that were white/gray/other colours...
- When i get the screen on, it generally turns off again within 30 seconds, however it can stay on for a few minutes.
- If the screen is on and i press the lock button, it almost certainly won't come back on.
- Restarting the phone or holding the power and volume button nearly always gets the screen to come back on. It often then restarts but turns off again shortly after.
- The phone is otherwise still working when the screen goes off; the notification light stays on and i hear messages etc coming through
- The backlight often stays lit, revealing a gray screen opposed from total black. Sometimes it does not stay lit however.
- When the screen came on it was often unresponsive to touch
I had the screen replaced yesterday by a phone repair shop and the phone is still not right. I have factory reset the phone and also wiped the partition cache. Other than that it is still not working. IT seems to be working better... The screen always seems responsive to touch when it is on, and it doesn't seem to be turning off as often. It generally starts up and works fine when i start up by holding the power button and down volume button together... However even still it sometimes just flashes up with a few thick white/gray and black lines on the screen..
Does anyone know what can be causing this and how i can resolve it? If you need any more information please let me know and i will try provide it. I could try get some pictures of what the screen is doing when i finish work. Thanks guys, i appreciate any input.
EDIT: I managed to get a pic of what i mean by the thin vertical lines all over the screen. This just appeared when i tried to restart the phone after it the screen had once again stopped working. The imgur link is gIFMGD6
Anyone have any ideas?
Hey, did you ever figure this problem out? My phone just started doing the same thing. Can't find much info about it.

Yeah, i had the screen fixed hoping it would fix it, however that didn't work. Turns out it was the motherboard, don't know what was wrong with it in particular other than it was simply going faulty. Had someone replace the motherboard on it for $50 and have had zero problems since! Hope that helps you.
Thanks for the response. I tried replacing the screen too with no luck. Unfortunately the same place that replaced the screen said it would cost $400 to replace the motherboard!!! The phone cost less than that so it looks like I'm gonna buy a new one.
