So after updating to a couple WM6 ROMS and being happy, my phone starts to act weird, my screen starts to turn white at random times and i have to keep the keyboard slid out slightly to keep the screen from going white. Then after a while it changes again, and now my screen always goes white until i slide the keyboard in and out a couple of times and then slide it back in, but it will only stay normal for a little and my screen will go white again. In hopes to fix this i switched back to my official T-Mobile 2.26 ROM but i am still having the same problem. Can someone please help me fix this, my phone is almost at the brink of not working and i would have to wait about half a year before i can get a new one. Any help will be appreciated.
are you overclocking at all when you are experiencing the problem???
I have heard that overclocking to too high of a speed will cause the phone to go to a white screen..
just a thought
also, if you could, please list all third party apps and the current ROM you are running
.:Nstefanelli:.
Well i was overclocking to 260 using battery status, but i dont do that anymore,i am currently running the T-Mobile 2.26 official ROM, and i have these programs installed:
Wm5torage
Fizz Weather 2
TCPMP 0.81
Pocketdict
If you need some more info you can look at my signature too.

how do u do that ?
killerkhatiby009, you can check if it is a hardware problem by performing a remote control (PC controlling PPC, google for it) and start messing with your phone, see if the PC gives you the same problem.
IF the PC gives a good reading (e.g. no white screen) while the PPC gives you a white face, then it is probably the screen problem (not sure what).
IF both the PC and PPC gives you the white face, it is then either software error (hopefully so), OR internal harware error (e.g you've burned your microprocessor?).
Ok thanks for the help, ill go and try that ppc remote controll thing and report back.
Ok after testing it the PC comes up fine while the Pocket PC comes up white.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me, which may be a result of your constant overclocking. It may also be due to a bad switch in the keyboard slider.
You might want to contact your provider and see if the phone is still under warranty and/or if you can get a replacement.
Well my phone is no longer under warrenty, does anyone know of a way to fix my phone or get a replacement?
Hi,
Can someone tell me how to upgrade my IPL please ?
found my answer. Thanks anyway
I have the EXACT same problem
Ignore my signature - I downgraded back to the latest stock T-Mobile ROM. I see the same problem no matter what ROM I am running.
It is EXACTLY the same as you describe here. I can usually make it stop by pressing the sides together (holding the screen and keyboard slider tighly closed). Once it stops if I set it down and don't touch it it will work fine.
Also when I reboot the splash screen never has the problem - the problem starts as soon as WM boots.
So what did you have to do? Buy a new one? Or were you able to get service or an exchange?
It seems to be the mechanics of the display connector that are causing this. I looked in the service manual and it shows a stiff flat flex-cable connecting the keyboard to the screen, and it seems to me that this cable is the problem - either it is damaged or it is not fully seated on one end or the other.
I considered trying to dissassemble it and clean/reset connecters - for about a nanosecond. But it looks way too fragile and full of hidden little plastic hooks that will break off if you don't release each one in exactly the right way and then it will never go back together again.
Just wondering if anyone has encoutered a problem with the screen turning itself off. It is not a settings issue but the screen randomly turns itself off in the middle of being used so i am guessing it mght be something to do with the light sensor perhaps?
Well if anyone else has the same problem or can offer some sort of explanation i would be very interested to hear about it.
Thanks in advance
i think this might be related to autolock. if you have that enabled, disable the screen dimming and let it turn off after say 2 minutes. then you should be ok.

I've had a similar issue recently - suddenly the screen started to switch off after 30 seconds without use, no matter what settings I configured in the energy system settings. No explanation, probably a bug in the 6.1 stock ROM. (I'm on another ROM now...)

Ditto.
Own ROM 6.1 (nothing special - really just Google maps and teeter removed)
Apps:
4 Column Start Menu.cab
FdcSoft TaskMgr 3.1.cab
GoogleMaps.CAB
GpsCycleComputer_3.114.CAB
htcAddicts cleanRAM v1.6.cab
MobileTweet.CAB
NETCFv35.cab
NetworkPlugin_1_0_30468_1.CAB
PocketShield.CAB
rar.ppc_arm.cab
SoftReset_Suspend.CAB
same here. tried some reg tweaks but none disabled poweroff after 30 seconds
it happens to me every time after i use igo8,
so my solution is to go to the MANILA power setting (not the default windows setting) and turn DIM off.
cannot find manila power settings. where are they?

i have Tom's 6.5 rom so when i goto regular settings it takes me to manila style setting & not the default one.
I have that problem to ?
I have a 6.1 windows, what can I do to deal with this problem ?
Thankx
in power settings enable & disable dim it will fix this but only till next time... i do it after every time i use igo8.
this is especially annoying when using the topaz as hard disk or navigating via tomtom. hope they will bring out a fix soon.
Think my problem was slightly similar as I was using the original shipped ROM. Well phone is with HTC now in for screen repair so hopefully the problem will be solved.
I'm guessing it was probably down to an install of some 3rd party application. anyway will repost after i get my td2 back tomorrow

Hi,
I have this wierd problem with my sensation. I found out that if i have my camera on and it falls a sleep it wont unlock any more. no ring nothing.buttons glow but a solid black screen. The only way out is a battery pull.
It's with photo camera and video camera mode. no other apps suffer fom this.
I've tried other roms but nothing. I currently run ARHD 3.6.7
I found out on accident but it is realy annoying me now
Any of u with the same problem or ideas?
known issue with kernel. not sure which kernels. try keepscreen app to keep screen awake if using camera so it doesnt freeze

Yeah, it's bricked kernel. Doesn't matter what version you use, it seems to keep on happening randomly.

Hi,
Go into Bricked Kernel post, there is a .zip file called, CAM-FIX.zip
Flash that, magic will happen =]
Thanks guys, I've all ready flashed an other kernel and it works all fine now.
CAM-FIX.zip on the other hand is only for sense 3.5 and I really prefer sense 3.0
The camfix patch is so the camera can even function in the first place, it does not fix this issue. Without the camfix, if you try to use the camera the screen just goes black and the phone freezes. This issue however is an intermittent one, where sometimes when you exit the camera you get the black screen and freeze. Doesn't happen all the time, but it's definitely the kernel at fault.
To the OP, if in your case it's only happening once the screen times out, you could always use tasker to make it not timeout when using that app?

I can't seem to find any similar topics to this so I'll post it here..
My phone has been doing this for around 5-6 months now I think, I don't really remember when it properly started. At random times, my phone's flashlight would turn itself on and if I go on the flashlight app to turn it off, the flashlight would turn off for a splitsecond (resembling a flicker) and then turn itself back on, this would occur with changing the brightness of it too. I'm on the latest ViperOneS JB rom, and I don't know what I can do to fix this. Do any of you know whether this is software or hardware related? I'll be happy to give more details upon request.

Seems to be a known issue with that ROM.:good:
I've been having screen/display issues (not the yellow hue and separate of the touch screen sensitivity problems). Every now and again, I get flashing, pixilated horizontal lines. I don't see any dead pixels and when it's not blipping the screen seems to display flawlessly, so I'm not sure if it's a software issue or if the hardware is failing. Also it's not isolated to one particular area, it jumps around. Anyone have this problem? Any fixes? I haven't been able to find anything on it. PLEASE HELP. Below is a video of the problem.

Are you completely stock? Any custom kernel? Any rom?
Usually it's a kernel issue - tearing, but it's only present on custom kernels (never came across on the stock cm11 kernel). You might wanna try a different kernel though, if you're comfortable with that.
I have the same issue on my stock rom with stock kernel. the only thing i have changed was the developer options. i changed the screen animation time.

I had exact same issue during recording a video yesterday night !! I am latest mahdi and latest franco...
Funny thing is it went away once i exited the camera... what rom and kernel are u using ?
I've been having the same issue too. I don't have a solution for you, though. I haven't been able to find much about it.
Same issue here, stock all the way, only been since latest update. The update didn't flash properly, it gave an error stating it couldn't be located but i went through the files and it was there and then upgraded OK
I had the same problem. Selecting "Force GPU Rendering" in developer options cured it.
i have stock everything. i'm not rooted.
a reboot fixes the problem temporarily. shoot, all the issues i've ran into with this phone thus far (like the GPS not locking on) is fixed by a reboot. i know a reboot is good to do every now-and-again regardless, but having to do it constantly to fix issues is the sign of a failing device and is very annoying; it shouldn't be something you have to do with a brand new device.
i am facing this too randomly. Am on rooted 38R with Franco kernel. Rebooting is a temp cure but it will frustrating to keep doing it.
This happened to me after getting 38R. Fortunately it hasn't been back since a hard reboot. It would show up on Youtube & when dragging down the notifications area.
I had this today on PAC ROM. When I unlock phone and lock ring animation dots flash up made lines come across screen not sure what it was or why. Just rebooted phone. Back to normal. But trying out vanir later tonight try something abit different.
Also experiencing this here.
Stock ROM, clean 38R install.
Stock kernel.
Rooted, with a few xposed modules.
Started a day or two ago. Haven't found a way to recreate it. When it does happen, a reboot remedies it, but only temporarily.
I will attempt to screenrec it the next time.
I find it interesting that I only see mentions of this starting recently.
Same problem for me since the last update. Restarting the Phone solves the problem for some times. Maybe a driver issue?
Glad to see that it is not a hardware issue.
Same here
Same here, mahdi-2.8-bacon-20141001 ROM, enabled "Force GPU rendering" in Developer options, let's see if this comes back!
I have the same problem on latest cm nightly with stock kernel. And dev options works sometimes but it resets on reboot and my phone reboots randomly all the time. I'm starting to hate this device

I also have the same issue on Stock 38R update + franco kernel r27
It happens after the latest kernel update, before I never had this lines.
Lucky for me I don't have any reboots now but I fear that will come to pass as well.
Got the same problem with Mahdi Rom 2.8 - 20141016
Will be solved in Franco Kernel r28,he just confirmed this on his kernel thread.

same issue here. i have to reboot. its happened on stock and AK kernel. will try enabling force gpu rendering and see if it comes back
