A few weeks ago my Sensation screen turned to colorful pixel snow. After opening the sense lock ring and flipping the main screen for a few times it became ok. A week later it went back to the snowy screen permanently.
I went to recovery and re installed the Rom (revolution 6.80) and the problem was solved. A week later I got the snowy screen back, but now the snow appears the very first moment the device is powered on.
Due to the face I had airdroid on the device I managed to connect it to the computer and see the mobile screen on the computer and it looked as if everything is ok, I could see the sense and all the screens and operate all the applications by looking at the computer and touching the snowy screen.
I bought a new screen and connected it instead the original and I still got snow....so I know it's not a screen problem.
I do not have warranty on the device and local labs will charge half the price of the device for fixing it, so I prefer to find out what's the problem and but the parts myself and replace them.
Anyone has any experience with such a problem and fixing it?
Thanks a lot
Try using a blower, those that people use to blow off dust, blow off every spec of dust you can see on your device, clean the connectors of the screen too.
Then, try installing a rom which is not ARHD, and test it out. If all these doesnt work, it might be your GPU hardware is faulty.
I already cleaned all the connection and checked that everything is connected correctly but it didn't help.
Do you know where the gpu seats? maybe if I knew what it looks like i could check problems around it or replace it.
No one knows how to solve the snow problem? :crying:
That's it? the device is dead? I used it only for one year...
Can you take a photo of it and post it?

wow... I've never seen anything like that before. Hopefully someone else can help
maybe the connector of the lcd panel is disconnected a little bit.
I bought from Ebay defective Sensation, it has exactly the same problem.
Did you find what you HTC was wrong?

I'm also having the same snow problem on my HTC Amaze, for the above i assume there's no fix to this as i was about to purchase a new screen.
This phone is a complete lemon so perhaps it's a blessing
Seen that 2 days ago at a friends phone. No solution oder fix for that?

Hey guys,
I've had my Sensation for a couple weeks now and this weird issue just popped up. The Camera seems to have some green lines running through it. These lines appear on any Camera app (Panorama Beta, Camera 360, etc.)...
Restarting the phone fixes it... But only for an hour or so before it just comes back. Is this some sort of hardware failure? Anyone else experienced this before?

That picture was taken with a Galaxy S2... The irony.
The fact it goes away on a reboot suggests to me it's more likely to be a software issue of some sort, although I wouldn't completely rule out hardware.
Have you performed a factory reset?
I had the same problem. Called tmobile and they had me do a master reset. This fixed the problem. For how long though?

Yeah, I imagine a reset will fix it.
But, what's the point? I might as well get them to replace the entire phone. Both scenarios result in me having to start from scratch again. At least I can be assured it wouldn't happen again if I get it replaced.
battery
I had the same issue as you. No need for master reset . Just pull the battery for about a minute and that will work. I never had that issue happen to me again
“Green Lines” and “Distorted Widgets”
I had the very exact problem with my phone as well. My problems first started with the distorted widgets and then about 10 days later, my camera started showing the green lines. -->Please see pictures <--
I went back to the T-Mobile store and showed them these “Green Lines” and they were kind enough to replace my phone for me. I've had my phone for a little more than 15 days and usually TMO will not validate returns past this point. I WOULD HAVE BEEN FURIOUS! Anywho, I resolved it by taking it back and they replaced it. Hope this helps anyone out having the same prob.
Still, I'd like to know what the cause of this is since it seems to be happening on more than just a couple of phones.
With the “Green Lines” and the “Distorted Widgets” problems, I’m beginning to wonder if these issues are related to one of the two LCD manufactures.
“It has been confirmed that the Sensation has two different LCD panels. One made by Acer (AUO) and one made by sharp.”
It would be interesting to find out if all the problems are occurring on either the Sharp or the AUO displays? I can’t confirm which one I had since I returned the phone already, but if any of you still have your phone with the “Green Lines” or “Distorted Widgets”, try finding out which of the two companies makes your screen on the Sensation 4G and compare the results with others. You can find out to d othis in the link above.
Suddenly (well, I had just installed WifiKeyboard when this happened to me, but I don't think it's relevant) my touchscreen develop a dead zone. Just above hardware buttons. If i touch this zone, my phones thinks I'm pressing with one thinger above this zone and with another thinger below it. Just like the picture shows.

(Note that it's a complete symmetrical dead zone. It's a perfect rectangle)
It's strange. I was on Codename 4.1 JellyBean. I didn't change anything, (I descarted that this might be a Rom problem, I put back the stock rom and the problem persists). I don't rember any serious smash in the last few days. I had already changed the touchscreen once, because I broke it and the jerk that replaced the screen glued it terribly bad so the screen is a little bit loose (i think that maybe something entered through this space and ****ed the screen, but i don't know)
Also read someguys talking about chep chargers that might broke the touchscreen or something like this ( I recently used a blackberry's charger for a day) and that It might be something with the drivers of the touchscreen.
I had no idea.
Any clue?
Thats Strange...

Did you restart your phone?
If that doesn't help, do a factory reset.

Then it's broken.
It's not the software, then it must be the hardware.
Last suggestion: Turn off the phone, take out the battery and touch the pins where the battery goes. Put the battery back in, turn on your phone and see if it works. I've heard of static electricity giving all sorts of problems. Grounding the phone (touching the wiring) might do the trick.

I'm sorry you paid 80 dollars for your touchscreen? What a ripoff... I got mine off ebay for around 40...38 to be more precise. 80 is way too much for an SL.
i don't have the proper term for this but let's call it screen discoloration
screen sometimes turn into purple hue randomly but when i turn off the screen it goes back to normal immediately
my device have stock ICS and rooted
please see attachments for picture.
the purplish tint disappears when i lock the screen
the blue pics shows the normal screen
screenshots appear normal so i took actual pictures instead
do you encounter the same on your device?

even once? it rarely happens but kinda annoying..i also have that bright millisecond flash on the left edge every now and then
yeah this looks familiar, happens only if I fiddel with gpu voltage and speed..
the white flash is something everybody get from time to time
Just had this happen on mine, running CM10.1...not sure why, maybe overheating...

It happens to my P6800 from time to time though very rare.
I have not yet found out why and when happens it.
My guess is that it happens while surfing in stock browser
My device w/ PA 2.55 JB v4.1.2 custom rom modded by Daniel.
I have to admit that the both Androguide and Daniel made awsome job and let us have such a gift.
Anyone else?
i'm also have this problem and since that my acren look not have a good color depth o dont know if this just my imagination anyway mine happen when i played 10 pin bowling any auggestion on how to fix the issue?
Today I face this issue when working with stock file manager
Any solution/reason yet?
No solution yet, would you mind edit your post and supply what rom ure using?
I can trigger the inverted colors more often when uv the gpu, maybe a voltage glitch??
Normaly I experience it once every 2 months or so, but others might get it often..
hey guys that issue i posted above has no fix yet since it only appears rarely
i thinks it's a hardware glitch..after reflashing the latest ics fw i haven't had it again
Hi,
I got this weird problem and im not sure is this a hardware problem or not. For example. when using menus with white background, the background goes partly blue. Sometimes the graphic error is only blue lines in some part of the white background.
but when checking one option in same menu the background turns normal or atleast there is some change in the background. So these errors reacts only when changing options. And theyre always in the same position when going the same menu.
Also when using camera. the view is messed up a bit. there is a clear line somewhere in the picture when going dark to bright. With my english its hard to explain especially when i dont have any idea what is causing this problem.
Below are two attachments that explains the problem much clearer than i can write:

And before you ask. Yes, it has dropped and i have replaced the glass. But i got it with broken glass so i dont know was it like this before it dropped and the previus owner couldnt tell either.
Any possible solutions?
Thank you in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue, just for the heck of it I would open it up and check the ribbon cable to the digitizer/screen, it could be loose.
Pp.
Checked it. Same problem. Tried to change brightness level, hard reset, rooting etc with no luck.
Its just so weird that in some situations the screen looks totally normal. only these few situations cause errors in the screen.
Hmmm, there are dialer codes that are used on phones that run a series of tests to check screen performance and output, don't know if this can be done on a tablet, but I would research it.
The only other time I heard of this was on a phone that recovered from falling in a toilet, the phone was dismantled and cleaned and assembled and it worked fine for over a year, the only glitch was an occasional color spasm on the screen similar to what you discribe.
Pp.
Thanks for the tip! Need to look for those codes when i get back home. I removed the logic board and cleaned it with denat. alcohol. No visible damage at least! trying to assembly it back later today. I decided to order a new LCD flex cable. Its the cheapest part to change.
No luck with the codes i found. after cleaning still same graphical problems. Now i can only wait the new flex cable and hope it will fix those errors.
Anyways thanks for replys and suggestions. :good:
As title says, the backlight started shining through on my U11+.

It happend today, i was on my phone. i put i down to go get something to eat and when i came back the bleed came. it's around the entire screen.
i haven't contacted HTC yet because i wanted to ask you guys and get your opinions first.
i haven't dropped it, i haven't thrown it after somebody. i've been looking after it.
Sorry for the unacceptable quality on the picture, it's taken with my work phone.
That's not good. RMA it if you can.
Did you get yours repaired? My u11 plus just did the same thing today. I am wondering if too much squeezing the edge sense warpped the screen.

It happened to me too: I was watching a film, checked phone and it presented the same symptom, but in always on display. Rebooted and same problem. After a little time (just 10 minutes or down there).
I am using edge function and it is no longer happened .

I think the last time it happened to me was in January.
It's a bit bizzar that it comes and goes like that, I still haven't figured it out what's causing it.
But it doesn't seem to be a problem any more so I'm not worried.
