Hello,
I have a very strange problem with my HTC Touch Pro phone.
I'll explain my problem:
When you turn on your phone and you are on the "Home page" (the page where the time is displayed) there is a bar at the bottom of the display.
This bar says Phone and Programs.
When i access my volume control by using the 2 buttons on the left side of the phone a black screen appears with some bars on it to indicate the volume. Note that the black bar with the Phone and Programs buttons is gone!
But the problem is that i can slightly see the Phone and Programs text trough the black screen of the volume control...
The first time i turned on my phone it was clearly visible, but after hard-resetting my phone 3 times it seems to be all gone now.
What could have caused this problem? Are these texts burned into my screen or is my screen sensetive to white letters?
I really dont know what to think about it because it seems very strange to me that it is now gone after 3 hard-resets...
Does anyone know what may have caused this problem?
edit
When i still had the problem i checked out if the text that was visible on the volume screen was the actual text that should stand in the black bar on the bottom, but when i accessed the volume control from the Programs tab (notice that the menu bar then displays "All programs" and "Remove"), but the volume controll still displayed Phone and Programs, so it isn't the actual text that is visible, so it cant be something like a shine-trough or something like that.
Really dont know what to think, at this time 3x hard-resetting the phone helped and the texts aren't visible anymore, but i'm still worried that my screen is over-sensitive or maybe broken or something =\
edit
The text is getting visible again after having my phone on "stand by" for 10 minutes.
Does anyone has a solution or does anyone knows what the problem can be? i would like a awnser today because i could go the the store tomorrow, i may be able to switch it for a new one if the screen is really broken.
Hope someone knows more!
edit
Maybe some of you dont see it on your one Touch pro, but you will if you REALLY look close at the bottom left and right corner in your volume control screen.
Could it have something to do with lazy pixels or something?
edit
It seems to get worse when i have the phone and programs texts on my screen for 10 minutes, and then switch to volume management. Are my pixels lazy or something?
The longer the screen stays on with the Phone and Programs texts on and the icons of the menu etc, the more you see when you turn on volume control.
it just looks like it burns into my screen.
Take care! Maybe it burned into your eyes!
No, serious it cannot burn into your screen.
Only CRT screens can burn it, not TFT.
Hmm ok thats true haha,
But what else can cause such a problem... it is only visible if the phone is off stand by for a few minutes.
I had my phone on stand by the rest of this evening and just turned it on and now it is all gone again. But if i put my phone on the home screen for a few minutes, so with the texts, then its visible again on the volume controll screen
Had the phone on standby the whole night and now the texts are gone again.
They seem to get "burned" in somehow if the phone is off standby for a few minutes, but then when its on standby for a while they are gone again.
Just wanna know if more people have the same problem, or else i could send back my phone to HTC for a repair

Well that seems to be the problem over here...
But when i turned on the phone for the first time there was much more "image burning" on the screen, and at this moment it is all gone ...
Could it be that the screen had to "warm up" or something because the phone is just 2 days old. The longer i used the phone the less the image burning is now.
Do these screens have to warm up or something when you turn on the phone the first time?
They shouldn't... Especially if you bought it locally, I'd take the safe road and return it. I'm not sure if it's exactly what that source describes, but I don't like taking chances with phones as expensive as this.
Hmm ok, thats wierd because the more i used it the less burned in texts are visible.
at this point there is nothing visible on my screen anymore ..
isnt there ANYONE else here that has the same problem or that wants to try it out and leave the phone off standby for some time ?
Someone that has the same problem, or someone who wants to check their phone for the same problem?
I dont know if i should return my phone for a repair..
Problem is getting visibl again,
Have used my phone some time today, but i didnt have it off standby for longer than 1 minute, and still there is a white bar slightly visible on the volume controll screen.
This is definately a problem with the screen right? something like Lazy pixels or something..
Anyone that can help?
btw, its seems that only the white colors get burned in
edit
It only seems to get "Burned" in when i'm in a window with white bars or spaces, and it fades when i have the phone on a black screen for a while..
And it only happens with the HTC Volume app?
no, but its good visible on that screen, its also slightly visible on the home screen etc..
It doesn't only burn in when the phone is off standby, but it also seems to get worse when the phone is ON standby... what i mean is that it doesn't fade away right away when the phone is on standby...
Just went back to the store to get a new phone.
I checked right away if the new phone also has the same problem, and it does...
texts also seem to get burned in for a while on this new phone, but also dissapear when the phone is unused for a while...
Could you guys check your phone's if you have the same problem?
Just use it for a while and check the volume control window if there are images still slightly visible on the screen.
Hope someone can do that for me!
edit.
Could i be SO unlucky that i have had 2 phone's of 1 wrong production serie?
Can anyone please check out their phone for the same problem?
I would like to know if there are more people experiencing this problem so that i dont have to return my phone for the 4th time =)
also i have spotted this problem. but it happened just a few times when the phone was hot (using gps).
Mmm ok, and you had the problem the exact same as me ? visible on the volume control screen etc?
More people having this problem?
Would appriciate it if some more of you could check it out for me
It never happened on my Fuze, I think it might be a bad batch that your store got in. That could be why when you returned it you're seeing the same things, a lot of people with yellow spots in their screen returned theirs and got the same thing in the next one.
Hi!
The screen of my Prophet works correctly.
After I've installed a contributed rom, my device boots correctly (after hard reset) and then ask me to align screen but just after I tap to enter in align procedure, it didn't give response anymore! So it enter (tapping the screen) in the align procedure, but then no repond any nore!
I tried to install other roms but... nothing to do: the is always exactly the same:-((
What can I do? Go back to WM5?
What's the correct procedure? I didn't found it...
I've tried to and...
Now I've installed NVID rom
but when appears "tap here to set up your Windows Mobile-based device" I tap on the screen (so touchscreen works) then pass to "align screen"
here if I touch normally it didn't work but if I press and move a little the pen on the cross (like designing very little circle) it works.
After alignment procedure, Prophet seems to works regularly, I mean I just nee to simply touch screen and it works.
Do you think it's the beginning of an hardware problem?
this happened to me as well. i can't touch the centre cross hair, but can with my finger, the other cross hair i can tap with the stylus. also on the keyboard, i can't tap esp the no. 8 & few letters below it esp G.
still happens to me even with another rom. don't know how to correct it. i guess a new screen is the key... or get a new pda - i'm waiting for my touch pro!!
all roms problem
Yep, it seem like it don't receive a spot area touch, but only wide area touch.
But this appens to me for «all» roms I tested and «only» for alignment procedure!
After I get screen aligned, it works perfectly, and seems to have normal sensitivity.
The problem is only for align procedure!
But it sounds strange that you can't use "8" or "g": it seems really a problem with touchscreen or maybe it is to clean a little.
But you are a lucky man! Touch pro is coming in your hands...
Bye
Hi all,
I have noticed that my screen seems to get the burn effect at the bottom (where the menu is in TouchFLO) most the time its not really noticeable until you slide the keypad. It dissapears if the phones been off for a while but considering the phone goes into standby and the screen doesnt stay on dont really know why this is happening.
Would you consider RMA'ing? just cant really do without the phone
I think I have noticed the same thing... it's a bug, not a hardware issue... try to softreset the phone and then look closely to that area
Same here
indeed, soft reset works. There is also an uglier version of screen distortion - when I browse to internet page that contains many flash applets (displayed by Adobe Flash Lite plug) Then I have a full screen flooding/chaotic/psychedelic (maybe more adjectives ) effect similar to my pre-previous laptop with broken lcd cables. I can stop it by turning off screen/suspending by the top button and turning it on again. It might appear then again but usually doesn't. Weird, not a problem for me though.
Anyone have problems with the 4 hard keys on the front of the phone and the scroll wheel? Talking about the att fuze here. Randomly when using the text program it will scroll in and out without stopping. Only way to make it stop is to press the power button to turn the screen off then again to turn the screen back on. Also, when i press the bottom left key to bring up the dialer sometimes it will not and just do nothing. Just as in a phone call i press the bottom right hard key to hang up the call and sometimes it will not respond what so ever.
I know the keys work because when i press them they light up showing i pressed them but they have no effect. This happens about 50% of the time and not at all rom related. I have tried over 8 different roms including those with tf3d2 and wm6.5 and all have the same problem. I have even tried flashing to the stock att rom and even on that rom i am still having this problem. I have never dropped my phone or any physical damage. Any ideas? I have already called warranty exchange and have another fuze on its way to me. I am convinced it has to be hardware related some how since no rom will work 100% for me with these keys. I have had my phone since january and out of the blue this all started about 3 weeks ago.
Bump Bump Bump
I dont have that problem, but sometimes my keys dont work and I have to turn off the screen and turn it back on
sometimes I even have to soft-reset my phone
this is partially because the Left and Right directional button is roughly between the Home/pick up and Back/hang up keys respectively. you have to press more towards the corner otherwise it will register as a left or right press.
another situation is when it is running a bunch of processes in the background it forgets what keys are what and you just have to turn it off and turn it back on (the display) and it should work again. that or open a random program and exit out back into tf3d
goodluck
Actually, I have exactly the problem that you're reporting where the zoom in happens circurlarly, without any ceasing. It's driving me batty.
Hi everybody!! I'm new in the forum and in the androids world!
It have been passed less than three weeks since I've bought my new Nexus s.
It uses to work fine until this morning. A portion of the touchscreen stopped to react to the touch.
For example in the landscape mode I'm unable to use all the second line of the keybord, instead in the normal mode I can't press the 'e','d' and 'x' letters or the microphone button. I'm using the cyanogen mod and with the normal theme, when I'm on the homepage, I can't press the phone button (the virtual button on the left of the menu button).
When I use this vertical area, the phone sometimes react like if I perss another part of the screen or does not react at all.
I've read that there were some problem with the touchscreen of the nexus s with samoled screen, but I've the european versione with the slcd screen! What can I do? For you what is the problem?
Sorry for my english and thank you for the help!
