Screen going completely white

Today, something weird started to happen. I turned on my phone and the screen went completely white. after turning on/off a few times, it turned on normally. throughout the day this has happening. I noticed that if you tape it on the side or back, I can get the screen go to from white to normal. I have the pick and pack ROM on with voodoo. i dont know if this would be a software issue anyways. seems like something might be loose.
anyone have any ideas?

I had a friend of mine here in town that had the same problem. She was on an unmodified Mesmerize when it was happening. I flashed her to basically what you have, the Pick-n-Pack and voodoo5 kernel. She hasn't had the problem since, but that was only 3 days ago.

yea, I flashed a few days ago and started to happen today. I'm tempted to go back to stock completely and if it happens again, take it in. it's only a few weeks old.

That would be a good idea. That way, if it does happen, you know it is most likely a hardware issue.

yea. with you saying you friend had it before rooting and I'm having it after...probably a defect.

just reset to factory and as it was booting up I snapped the back cover on and the screen went white. I did notice that if I press just the left of the camera (if you're looking at if from the back) the screen will go crazy on me. after pressing it a few times, it finally stopped. I'm thinking there is something right there that gets loose.

Just got back from USCC store and they swapped out my phone with a new one. yay! lol

Screen color problem Tf101

turned on the tablet and the screen appeared red color on the place of black. what can be reason for this? or is there any way to make it as it was before?

Not only is some places red instead of black, a number are also blue instead of white.
Perhaps the GPU/SOC is overheating or going bad? I really doubt a cable to the LCD is put in properly or loose, simply because it would be a consistent color (either red/blue/green) that would be off. Try playing an intensive game and seeing what happens. I'd be willing to bet it will either crash or something similar. Probably time to do an RMA.....

reset to factory settings, and after some time turned it on. everything was ok.

that often happens on computors anyways when you overclock the gpu/cpu too much so maby if you keep the voltages low it wont happen again

Boot on recovery (CWM) hold Power + Volume(-)... etc. And do a "factory reset/wipe".
But if the problem comes from an OC heat, I think you will have to install also a rom/kernel without OC. Then wait some hours to start it up.
hope it helps.

[Q] Need help with blank screen after replacement

Hi all. I'm having an issue with a 727R. I replaced a broken screen and now can't get the screen to stay on. Its a non rooted, factory 2.3.5 phone. When I turn it on, the sghi-727r screen pops up for several seconds and then dissappears, phone vibrates once, notification sounds appear shortly and all touch functions appear to work (by sound and haptic feedback). For all intents and purposes, this phone is on and working perfectly...if you're blind lol. I know the replacement screen works because it works perfectly if I go into download (odin) mode. I've been searching threads and haven't been able to come up with a solution, as most of the other blank screens are from bad flashes. Keep in mind that I am also testing this with the casing removed as it is a repair for a friend (if that makes any difference). Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Is the brightness maybe turned ALL the way down? When it finishes booting shine a flashlite on the screen and tell me if u can see text, icons etc...

I'll do that as soon as I get home this afternoon. I could only hope that's all it is, but i'm a little skeptical that I could be so lucky. forgot to mention that I have also odin flashed the stock rom back on just in case of software corruption. I would also think that I would get full boot logo's during the boot sequence, but hey!....its definately worth a shot! I've seen stranger things . Thanks for the quick response.

No worries, keep us informed. I didn't even bother to ask because I just assumed someone at your level who can change a screen would intuitively know to Odin stock... I was right :good:

So you had display for start of boot and d/l mode? If so, then I'll go no farther until I get another replacement screen.:crying:. Come to think of it, when plugged in and off, the charge symbol shows up for a second and its discoloured (almost like its made of vertical lines that are pinks and grays). You may have just saved me a lot of time. I was leaning toward trying to adb error logs in hopes of finding something. Other than that it was going to be a reflow on the gpu since the phone did do a leap of faith from 6 ft up....and lost lol.

No dice icenight. Tried out of hope but its completely black. I was really hoping for maybe a fault that could be fixed with a flash.....whoa is me....looks like I may be sending screen back and getting another. I cant send it out for another day so if anyone has any other ideas, or wishes to guinea pig this unit until one comes in, feel free to chime in. And thanks for the responses so far!

And the winner is....Crashpsycho! After months of trying to find a replacement, i finally got my hands on two of them for a decent price. Popped one in, odin'd jb stock and voila! perfect phone again. Thanks Crash!

screen stopped working

I'm currently on holiday in Majorca, today the screen stopped working, the backlight comes on but nothing displays, I'm still getting notifications. I powered it off and left it for a while, now it shows the Sony and powered by Android screens but then goes off during the next animation
Any ideas what I can do?
I was using it for 4k video recording, photos and the only means of contacting people, currently on my wife's phone using the free WiFi in reception but we cannot use it for calls or texts.
Any help appreciated
I've used the 'off' thing under the flap a few times by the way, that's the only way I can turn it off at the moment

I'm on holiday, no access to a computer, hoping to get it going while here as it's our camera and video camera if something can be done ?

Without pc it cannot be done, or try to press the red button u mentioned above for 10 second let it off and charge it then turn it on

OK, left it powered off and in rice overnight, in case humidity affected it, this morning the screen now stays on but the touchscreen goes nuts like I'm pressing it everywhere, any ideas?

24 hours later, it's no longer going nuts but doesn't respond to my touch at all

Haha I am having a similar issue. I think mine is registering crazy touches too but my screen flickers like hell and then eventually goes black. I left it in a rice bag for two days but didnt solve it yet. I created a thread about it here because mine was directly due to water damage. Did you dip ti anywhere?

Question Phone wigging out

Hi,
I got the Pixel 7 Pro on release day, and now its doing some wacky stuff. Over the last couple weeks, the phone has started to wig out. Colors will become distorted, colors will bleed, when I turn the screen off, it will not come back on except when it feels like it, and when it does decide to come back on, the phone is in airplane mode. and whenever I hit the power button, a green flash will appear.

What if any modifications have you made to your phone?

My screen died. It kept wiggling out until it finally went black (aka black screen of death). I had to take it to a repair center to have the screen replaced.
Techs were familiar with the issue from the Pixel 5a. I had it back the same day.
If you have multiple repair centers in your area, be sure to call to see if they have a screen. One shop didn't and s said they weren't able to get it yet. Another one had it.

Covered under warranty. Google will refer you to your local UBreakIFix (ubreakifix.com)/Asurion for warranty service.
I was outside my return period, so it was the best option.
The other option is to ship it back to Google, but that can take up to 2 weeks to get your phone back. Keep a backup device handy.

For the green flash, do you have dev options enabled? The green flash sounds like the hardware changed= flash green option
