[Q] Can you tell me what´s wrong with my screen? - HTC Sensation

Hi,
Just rooted my phone few days ago, and then one time I picked up my phone,
the screen was like this. Don´t know what is wrong. The phone works, and
the touchscreen works. I was actually answering a phone call, which I could do.
I could be related to the running I had just few meters while the phone was in my pocket, but I´m not sure.
Can someone tell me what is wrong, so I can maybe search the correct search word. It has not been very successful searching, faulty screen .

Can someone help me, Anyone?

What happens if you try to reboot it? Can you still get into CWM ? (if you have CWM)

I can access it but there is no display on the screen then, but I now I´m there through adb. but the screen only lights up when in the rom itself. I can also turn the screen off and on just as normal.

try using ddms.bat in the android/tools folder.I used it by taking using the screenshot function then hitting refresh when i smashed my screen on the old Legend

What Rom / kernel did you use?

I did this guide and then installed android revolution HD. And everything went well.

yaya it is now working again...
somehow the screen cable was a little loose, took it apart and assembled it and voila just like new. Thanks for pointing out ddms.bat

No problem i seem to replace ALOT of HTC screens and DDMS always help backup contacts and stuff before.

was just about to say about the flex cable being loose... that happened on my hd2

Phone screen won't come on!

I'm not sure if it's lag or what, but my phone screen won't come on. I think it's a ribbon that was disconnected or something though. For about a few hours if I were to press power to see the lock screen, all I saw where a bunch of rainbow static. Then I powered my phone on and off because nothing would work and now it's jut black! Does anyone know what's wrong? I can't boot into clockwork so I don't think it's a rom problem. Does anyone know the problem or have any idea to fix? Anyone I should ask specifically?
maybe water? even having my phone in the bathroom while i take a shower cause me that
It's not water, I never bring my phone close to place with water :/
can you boot into the screen where there are 3 droids with the skateboards? (i not sure whats the name)
I think I can boot and my phone still works, because it still rings when someone calls and it still vibrates when someone text it, but I just can't pick up or reply (because the screen won't come on). I should be able to boot into that thing, but I can't anything :/
well bro sorry i cant help you :/ maybe it could be the screen,the ribons or somethings loose. did it fell?

Seems like either broken ribbon that connects the screen to the "motherboard', or dead screen itself. That's exactly how 1 of my phones died (it was too complicated to disassemble and fix it myself)
But once I had similar problem with my TP2, the screen first become unresponsive to any touch, and then it went just black after restart (and every next restart). However all keys did work.
Hard reset somewhat helped, the screen actually came back, but it was still stuck on setting up Windows Mobile (if you know WinMo: the part where you calibrate touchscreen), apparently "touch" part of the screen didn't work.
I thought it is ribbon or screen assembly, but since all the keys worked I flashed another ROM and what do you know: all problems went away. It worked fine for as long as I had it. I never figured out what caused it/was the problem.

Yea I think that's the problem here. I think I'm just going to borrow a friends mt4gs to use and navigate recovery and do a back up and just buy a new one and restore. Thanks for all the help guys

Hello people on XDA!
I hope anyone can help me out here
I broke my glass on the phone , and I got a new glass installed over the old LSD screen, by an prof. but the new glass with the old LSD could be calibrated together, then he did it, and it works after that.
After some time, couple of weeks, the right side og the screen dons't work proppely.. When I turn on the phone there goes around 20-30sec before the right side can be used, but after that its works perfect!
Its allso when I turn on after the screen have been off (lockscreen) its the same, 20-30sec the it work, otherwise its dead
Remeber there is a picture(The LSD allways work), but no control at the right side of the screen
I have tryed allmost all RADIO's and so on!
allso tryed the ground pin and the back cover.
I have tryed everything I could fine on the web, so now I need help!

Your phone has an LSD screen? Whoa. Jk, sorry man, it's most likely that the screen is installed wrong, nothing any radios could fix... Maybe take it back to whoever installed it and complain?

Maybe its the LSD screen that's why it isn't working properly

Take it back and have them correctly install the screen. Do it soon while its under watentee and don't take no for a answer, they messed it up they need to fix it properly! Best of luck. Reinstallation is the only option at this point. Nothing else will fix this issue. Sorry.

HTC Sensation Touch Screen and Buttons issues

Hi guys, I've looked online and couldnt find anything about this issue. So the touch-sensitive buttons on my display light up when I press the home button. The screen doesn't activate or anything ,they just light up . Interestingly enough, they don't do it if I touch the screen or another button at the same time. Weird. Anyone know what the deal is here? Or is it just a wonderfully done job of HTC's?
Second issue, a more common one, but the solutions provided didnt work for me. The screen goes nuts when I plug it into a USB port and sometimes when it's plugged into the mains. I can't use it properly and if I try to type something, it will just go berserk with the keyboard. It's very annoying because I can't control it at all. I have managed to find a way to half-fix it which is: I take any cases I have on the phone and make sure to touch the back of the phone with the same hand that I am using the touch screen with. But I can't use it if I don't do that, and even so it doesnt work all the time.
I tried the "aluminium foil" trick and the "pull the little metal flap" trick, none of them worked at all. Anyone know if there's something I can do?
Just to give you an idea of what I have, the phone is boot-unlocked, s-off -ed (using JuopuntBear) and running Android Revolution HD - with XE and Beats Audio. Using ext4 as recovery. Obviously, my warranty is non-existent at the moment so taking it to my network provider is out of the question (plus, that takes ages and I dont want to be that long without a proper phone).
So, what can I do? IS there anything?
Sorry about the long boring post though.
idk. One search i did said that installing htc sync helped. Other than that or loading up an RUU i couldn't say right now.
So would an RUU just restore me to the stock ROM? Because I wouldnt imagine that to be a solution, since It's been acting up since before I unlocked the boodloader, s-off-ed or did anything to it. also, I had HTC Sync for a while and it still went bananas. Thanks for the advice, hopefully, if this is a hardware problem (which it looks like, at the moment), HTC will say something about it soon.

Touchscreen stopped working after soft brick...

Ok..
I had this phone for a while and I started using it again recently. I have fully replaced the digitizer/lcd bezel before with no problems (been a phone repair tech for 10 years) And it has worked fine.
The other night I reverted it back to stock because it seems to be the only way to get a constant data signal. Worked fine. I then updated it to the newest OTA update without a problem.
I then rebooted it and it stuck on a black screen loop with the buttons going on and off for hours. I spent 7 hours trying to figure out what was wrong, flashing, re flashing.. Nothing. Finally I get CWM recovery installed and find out my SD card is fried. So I put a new one in, and transfer over the roms I want t flash. 3 different roms, all with no touch screen.
Revert back to stock, still no touch screen.
Could something have gone bad on the board to have caused this? Is there something system wise not getting wiped that may cause this? Its to much of a coincidence that the touch screen and buttons would go out after all this happened.
Any help would be appreciated. Im waiting on a new digitizer now to check because Ive already gone over all the connections. But if its something software wise, Id like to try that before doing another digitizer replacement.
Thanks
funny you made this thread. i just got my hands on a soft bricked g2x that was stuck on the blue lg logo. after a quick nvflash it boots right up......but with no touchscreen. not sure if it ever worked as im not the original owner.
but i'll be keeping my eyes out on this thread for sure!
Id give a pretty to see inside both of your phones. Sounds like a bad contact on the ribbons.or one of them may have been ripped during a screen installation. I've never heard of the screen just up and quoting working without some major stuff happening to the phone. My guess is these screens were replaced with the wrong screen.just a guess though.

I have done phone repairs for quite a few years, It wasnt a wrong screen and has worked fine for a year since its replacement. I have already opened the phone again and made sure all contacts were fine. What Im trying to figure out is if there is maybe some part of the system/boot that holds the touchscreen drivers and they have bee erased?
Again, I find its a huge coincidence that it worked fine up until this happened then as soon as its booting again, stops working... Which is why I think its a software issue.
Try touching the corners of the screen after booting up start with the top left and go clockwise. One of the roms used to mess up the connectivity between phone and screen. And that is supposed to reset the touch screen. A old g1 trick

[Q] water damage - can't get past htc symbol

Hello,
after my sensation xe got kind of wet (got hit by a waterbaloon...), the touchscreen didn't work anymore. So I removed the akku and dryed it a little, it was not really that wet. Then I switched it on again, but after it showed the htc symbol for a while it switched itself off. I can get into the bootloader, but not into the recovery, if I try it's the same problem.
What is damaged? thanks!
my phone is rooted and I used albinoman's latest rom
EDIT: I just tried to switch it on again, and, it worked. I also tried it yesterday but then it didn't work. But if anybody has an idea why it was that way, please tell me, I am curious

So the problem just disappeared? interesting. It might be the NAND that was wet (or corroded), and somehow it "fell" off. So now you can access it. you're quite lucky if that's the situation. A neighbour of mine once gave me his faulty Desire, and although I got it to boot even further than what a service center could, I couldn't make it boot, as it's NAND was faulty. all I managed to do was to restore it's ability to boot to bootloader.
I once had my sensation under running water. The backlight stopped working and the screen was black. Had to wait a few hours before it dries out and backlight works properly again. Sometimes the backlight flickers and turns off at the HTC logo
Anything can happen when your phone is wet
