Bad day today. This morning started out with a very difficult time getting the screen to work. Everything took 2-3 touches. Some things I had to give up on. This lasted all day. A short while ago I was reading some pages and it got so bad I just pulled out my tablet. 10 minutes latter I grabbed the phone and it would not activate...just a black screen. Battery pull required. I recalled reading about black screens of death.
Is this part of a normal pattern of quality decline I'm seeing? Ill keep an eye on it for a few days, I have a 30 day remorse period.
Thoughts, suggestions, words of wisdom? Just don't say root..won't root in the remorse period.

Everything is stock out of the box. If auto bright is selected by default then yes.
What timing for this to occur. My sensation just arrived in Seattle for delivery tomorrow. Was hoping for an honest comparison.
when i first bought the phone, the screen felt insensitive too, also 2-3 touch, especially that "touch android" in the beginning to set it up. It was ridiculous for first impression
But hey, i rooted it and flashed it with a rom & kernel so everythings all good
If it helps the first g2x I got 420 I didn't root and it wouldn't turn of after a week .. rooted replacement with faux and now its been good

Sounds like after awhile the phone starts to misbehave on stock everything. I have seen other ppl complain having same issues while on stock.
I had a my phone getting hot and it rebooted after that and then apn would not stick. I'm glad I had apn backed up so it wasn't much of a problem.

Well my sensation arrived this morning at 1113. Its now 137 and its still not running. Apparently are still downloading. On the G2x, same apparently 20 minutes tops.
First thoughts after that, sensation is only a few fractions wider. Side by side no wifi, g2x pulls 2 bars 4g. Sensation 2bars 2g.
Screen comparison ...toss up..both look good...better? ?? They are different...
Scrolling is different. G2x is smooth uni page, a continuous page action. Sensation is page by page.
So far I'm leaning strongly towards g2x...except for that touch screen worry. That plays very heavy here. With no fix in sight, g2x would go back. But I've got 30 days

Just perform a factory reset or reflash your rom and kernel to fix the black screen issue. Mine started doing it and that fixed it. Everytime I tried to unlock the screen it went black but was still on technically cuz I could unlock and open apps. I had to hit the unlock button and have mg finger on the screen already to keep it from going off, then I could unlock it.

hes all stock but yea he could do a factory reset of stock rom i dont really see it doing anything unless there is a corrupt app and the way to fix that is factory reset then when it says restore backup data you uncheck it, this way it doesnt restore anything or any app that was corrupt and then start fresh one app at a time, and keep it on for a few days then if its good add another app. thats the real way to find out, it is tedious and time consuming but it u will find out what it is. but... after the remorse period he could add throw on another rom and kernel that solved my issue with sleep of death issues on stock
With stock there is a bug where it is always in engineering mode or something like that. There is a patch available in the development section, but don't remember if root is needed to apply it. How long since you last shut the phone off? If I remember right, that bug would cause everything to slow down really bad after a couple days. Try rebooting once a day and see if this issue comes back. If that works, you may be able to get by until you are willing to root.

Yes root is required because it requires ClockWorkMod to flash it.
This is why the phone boots up so quick out of the box because it doesn't preload anything but this causes it to become overloaded and run out of memory after some use and locks up.
The LG O2x had the same issues.
Stock REQUIRES the patch to function properly. Or just flash CM7 and enjoy the wealth of great features.

My thinking...and pardon the train of thought....if something out of the box is broke...like this....then...rooting it still leaves me with a device that had to be fixed...by me. I had 10 days of no issues with the G2x. I ordered and received the Sensation only because my son has one...and its nice. I have 30 days to try them out. I wanted to test them side by side....for basic comparison, the way I use a phone. Once I decide which one to keep, then root will most likely follow. But rooting to be able to compare side by side....misses the point of the comparison.
3 hrs after starting the setup on the Sensation...the battery is charged and everything is setup to test. One of the first, less obvious things I noticed on the Sensation is the multi tasking....running things like restore and browsing at the same time...is way slower than the G2x. It took 90 minutes to download the apps from backup....on the Sensation....the G2x is maybe 20 minutes. That couldn't be right and I tried it again. Still a long time. Finally I tried it again..and just let the phone sit...didn't do anything else....it downloaded just like the G2x.
When considering which phone, do I think about that slowness...in comparison to say....the Touch problems, Black screen problems....and reported rebooting....sure...thats why I'm testing them side by side.

And, as I'm sitting here....the G2x just did its first reboot. this kind of tells me...well... lets wait a week....and see.
I got my charge as a replacement for my fascinate like many others. befor i do anything i wanted to give the phone a few days on stock to make sure everything works fine. So far the only thing i noticed was sometimes it lags when i hit the power button to turn the screen on. Sometimes it flashes a static filled screen for a split sec before home screen loads. also some times it takes a sec for my screen to come back on after i lower the phone from my face so i can hang up. Is this just a little minor known issue others are having or is there something wrong with my phone possibly? Phone is all stock, fully bloated and the only apps ive installed are xbox live stats and google googles (coolest app ever). I doesnt do it all the time but it happens frequently enough to notice it. I can normally recreate it if i hit power button to turn screen off and let it sit a few mins then hit the button again to turn it back on.
When running completely stock, I experienced the same 2-3 second delay. Now that I am on EE4 with a custom kernel, the delay is closer to 1 second.

did you ever see black/white lines or static? I only ask because if its a common thing that most have exp then its really no big deal. ill root and flash to help fix the lag. But if its not then i would like to get it fix asap. Other then that i havent seen any other issues yet.
I see the lines and"static" on mine when the screen comes on. Not every time though.

I have seen it on occasion. It's much less noticable on a custom kernel and ROM.

Thanks for posting everybody. It seams like its a common issue then. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just mine or that i needed to return it due to some kinda of defect. Nice to know a custom kernel will fix it for the most part. Thanks again guys. This phone is so much nicer then the fascinate
I set a lock pattern on my phone, and I haven't seen the screen flicker once since. I'll switch back to the puzzle lock and see if it comes back....standby.
*update* switched back and still no flicker. Maybe that's the ticket.

Anyone have their screen blink/flick on startup, on when you see sense rings for unlock. This doesnt happened all the time but you will notice it once awhile.
Is this hardware issue or software? Its not custome Rom I'm running. I tested out other and it sometime occur. On HTC One X it mention about this also.
Any input would be helpful. I don't like to flash Rom all over too see what caused it.

I had an issue with Apex launcher. Every time I would select a folder on the home screen, the screen would pixilate, tile and flicker, not in that particular order. I uninstalled Apex and now everything is fine.
I read that the type of screen used on the One S has a type of matrix pixel or something that can be seen by a trained eye. Could that be what you are seeing.
hTc One S
I've been testing with this flickering. It noticeable if I restart my phone and look at the screen before the "sense ring" pop up. The screen will flick once. This occur on stock, custome Rom so I might think the hardware is acting up. This issued is known on HTC One X.
I restore back to stock Rom and move between app it also flick. Messed with brightness seen to help, but once I select auto brightness it come right back.
Man I'm not happy

Talked to Htc rep. they might consider the display went bad. Usually, the screen shouldn't blink. Even when I reopen an app..it still flicker and turn black screen.
Next steps called back Tmobile and demand a exchange because I'm not happy with my $600 phones..that blink like strobe lights
Maybe I should never buy the first patch that released on launch day. LOL

Well it was weird, it was fine last night, even had done a backup on clockwork. took it off the charger this morning and restarted it. looked at it later and half the screen was like that. I restarted the phone again and it only did what you saw, tried restart couple times still came back but later on as I was finally leaving home I was texting someone and it just went away?? tried restarting it again nothing... not coming back?? no idea why. I did see on youtube another person with a one X doing the full screen like that, SCary.
I would return it but I'm rooted 2 months in and had to buy from someone else's upgrade so I'm not even sure what they'll tell me if I take it to the store or talk to HTC
I got replacement from T-Mobile since there 90 days exchange warranty and guess what? My screen still does it. I went ahead called HTC for advice and rep. Told me it just parts of O.S.
For yours side, if you sent to HTC for a repair. They might check if you tamper with phone and will charge extra :what:..
Hopefully it won't do it.

only once in a while, when on lowest brightness, the screen would flash up very bright, after pressing the on button but than goes back to set low brightness.
Don't have an Issue like in your video
I've reverted the phone back to stock, not only does it still do it, but it was doing it while on the restoring mode. I've called T-Mobile, they are sending me a new phone. Unfortunately now I will be getting a refurbished phone. Pretty unnoying.... Hope its not defective too in some ways.

I have the same issue, but in a bigger area. I noticed that it happens when the screen is too cold.
First time it happened was when I was taking some pictures outdoors and it was under 0°C and snowing.
Second time also outdoors, strong cold wind, but above 0°C.
Don't know if this is really the cause, but it always happens under these conditions.

Mine originally started on a random morning, I live in Cali and phone usually on my bed so granted it's not under the blanket I'd imagine it stays fairly warm at nights. tho I had touched the screen with wet hands before and I've always been curious if that would have done it. I did since get a replacement which I haven't babied as much as the original one, it's been few months and seems to handle itself fine now (crossing fingers).
But if it happened once, it will happen again, mine came and went couple times, here is couple vids of the way it got... but eventually instead making a transparent gray, it was a full shade of it blocking that half of screen that wouldn't go away.

Went to unlock my phone this morning off the charger and the screen is totally dead. Couldn't unlock or do anything to it or even see what was going on, called Google and ordered a replacement ASAP.
Went through the not fun task of doing a nandroid backup without seeing what was on the screen and doing some trickery with screenshots then backing up my entire SD card.
However, here's the strange and potentially dangerous thing that I noticed later when I got home this evening. I went to look at the phone and go to a fastboot flash with the factory images and went to touch the bottom of the screen. When I went to do so, to the little bit of the left of the LED light was a SUPER hot portion of the phone. I almost burnt my finger it was so hot.
Not sure what to do about the issue, I feel like if I just call the support line they won't actually take in my concern legitimately. Any suggestions?
thats something quite strange
let us know what google says about RMA and this issue
Agree, maybe it's just your phone, maybe it's all the batch. Which batch/model do you have?

On my Transformer Infinity, sometimes the screen won't turn on at all. On a few occasions, if I press Power enough times, I get a glimpse of a message saying the Launcher process has stopped, but then my touchscreen doesn't register any input. The tablet is also sometimes running quite hot at those times. The only way I know to recover from this is press the Power button long enough to force a reboot, then everything is normal. Could this be what's happening? Do you know if the phone is still running under the black screen? Have you tried forcing a reboot, and did it work?
As for the hot phone, I've noticed my N5 does get a bit warm when I'm using it intensively (4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and screen on all at the same time and in use) but not enough to burn me. Could be hard to tell which component is heating up like that since I think it could be the screen backlight, SoC or battery... Do let us know if you find out more.

Yeah, no its definitely dead. There were streaked lines across it, rebooted it multiple times. I ended up going into the bootloader and recovery via adb/fastboot and all that jazz. It eventually just would not work now.
In regards to the hot part I definitely think it was the lower part of the screen. It was quite literally half an inch away from the LED to the left. Was super super hot then once I shut the defective screen off (I could tell by the backlit light or whatever) it wasn't hot anymore after a minute or so.
Is it black/white? 16 or 32? When did you get it?

32gb black version. I ordered it immediately when they announced it that day.
mine gets really warm when i'm doing a TWRP backup then it goes into bootloop after and wont cool down. i have to force it to power off from recovery and let it cool, but i've always seen it happen. i wonder if yours was attempting to boot over and over for hours and cooked itself.....? i have a launch day black 32gb too, running Cataclysm with Franco at the moment but it was doing it on rooted stock with stock kernel
I had to send my 19 day old 32Gb Red Nexus 5 in to LG for the same reason. I was using the phone and all of the sudden had vertical lines and the bottom of the screen got burn your fingers hot. Waiting to see what LG does with my phone. The only thin I can figure is the synaptics chip which controls the screen is bad. Its the only thing in that area that could get that hot. I also noticed when I first got my phone the glass in the same area looked like it had a slight wave in it. Didn't think anything of it at the time. I'll let you know how it goes.
Is RMA/replacement applicable for Rooted and unlocked devices?
I don't believe its an issue with developer phones as long as the issue wasn't caused by something you did like brick it by flashing a wrong radio or something like that. It has to be a manufacture defect to get it fixed for free.

So my Nexus 5 (a couple months ago) has started to just randomly go black. I get notifications and stuff, and the backlight but no display. Not sure what to do or what part to replace. Would flashing/rooting help at all?
Appears to be a hardware problem.
Was the phone every dropped or exposed to water/moisture? Possible loose connection inside?
No way to tell for sure if the phone needs a new screen unless you are able to test the motherboard in another N5.

It's been dropped a couple times but not like any major drops or anything. Im pretty sure I checked all the connections inside and they were good. Im starting to figure out that the phone has to be off for a little bit then I have to charge it and turn it on and it works again
Sounds like it could be a damaged lcd or lcd connection. If it can work after being charged while powered off, could be battery or USB flex cable issue.

Ya I figured out I have to reboot it a bunch of times then it will work
I think it might be the battery because this is my dad's old phone so it's been in use for a solid 3 years.. I wish I knew for sure though
So I have discovered that if my screen is on for a while the task bar at the bottom starts to shift up and down
Have you found out more about this? I think I have the same problem. My phone never turns black while I use it. But when the screen is off/sleeping, it sometimes won't turn on again. So a force reboot fixes it. Sometimes this happens a lot, some times it works fine a whole day.

Maybe, I don't think so. My phone was useless, black screen on every screen unlock. But namelessrom took that away, so that tip about nameless was for those who have the same black screen I had earlier. But now I have the same black screens as you do.

Its happan to me also, with 4 nexus 5 of my family.
Is a firmware problem?
I'm trying to buy a new flex cable to see if it will help I'll update when I find out
You're replacing the USB charging flex cable? If you are, be careful with cheap third-party replacements as I have read reports of people having issues with charging, signal, or speaker functionality after installing the cable.

Have you found out more about this? I think I have the same problem. My phone never turns black while I use it. But when the screen is off/sleeping, it sometimes won't turn on again. So a force reboot fixes it. Sometimes this happens a lot, some times it works fine a whole day.

Ya so i sent it to LG finally and the diagnostic said that it was a flex cable issue which I was sure that it was anyway but I have a confirmation now
I've had a similar problem when my display suddenly started failing. First, there was colourful bands over the working display, then colourful static only and then black with backlight only. Bought a new phone, left it for a year and today after digging in the phone for a while I found a fix. The connection between the motherboard (the top bit) and the daughter board (the bit below battery with USB and connection to display) was somewhat loose and when pressed on, the display worked beautifully. I stuffed the insides with some tape to maintain pressure on the connection and phone works great.
Might not work for your problem, but it's worth a try if you're out of warranty and have tools to disassemble the phone.
