Interesting. I just got a brand new one and it has this same problem!!!!
I'll have to get it swapped then, shame as apart from this, there are no problems

I saw this case yesterday on a demo unit, both cameras had the problem. Had some pictures on the phone - older ones were OK, newer ones were with lines.

I had this issue happen to me this weekend. Weird green and red lines. You could even tell in the 2 pictures I took with the camera. Not as prominent as when I took the picture, but I can still see some areas of discoloration
Currently the lines are gone. I haven't installed or uninstalled any apps so I don't think it was anything to do with something that's incompatible.
Not sure if I should get it replaced or not.

I had the problem too...i took pics though and they weren't on the pics after viewing in the gallery. I did a reboot with a battery pull and it went away. Only happened to me once.

I did a thread about this issue, but got no feedback on it. Any thoughts?
Here is a thread of mine with embedded videos: http://androidforums.com/2830694-post1.html

Same here. At first green lines did not show on picture, then they did. I was able to reboot the phone by Long pressing the power button and the problem went away. Not only that, but the camera looked so much better. (seemed much clearer.) I also noticed some videos streaming from the web also had green lines. Can't say its related yet.

I just noticed I had this issue today and found this thread. I tried just a shut down and then started the phone again, that did not help. I shut down, pulled the battery, put it back and started up again, problem solved.
Someone else has also made a video:
Since the issue has gone away and seems to be fine now, I'm not going through getting a replacement. If it occurs again, I'll just do a battery pull to fix it again. It seems the fix holds for some time, although I don't know how long.

I called HTC to get a ticket on file. The guy I spoke with said even an HTC employee in his work area had the same issue once. A battery pull fixed it and they have not had the issue since.
They might get back to me for more information, but today I had to give them phone number, e-mail and IMEI.
They said they're investigating.

I had the same issue with mine the day after I got it. I turned off the phone pulled battery held down volume - and power and selected factory reset. Have had no problems since then. Sorry if someone already mentioned this solution but I'm at work and didn't get to read everything every one posted just trying to help

Your "solution" goes a bit too far. There's no need to do a factory reset and lose all data/settings. Just shut down, pull the battery, put the battery back in, turn it on. Problem solved.

Just pulling the battery didn't work for me so I did the reset. Just trying to help

I just purchase mine on Sunday from Telstra store $792 outright, working fine Sunday night, then Monday morning started getting corrupted lines on Telstra News and Sports. On Monday afternoon went to use camera out on site, and camera had all green lines on screen, took 3 pics and they have the lines as well.
Tues morning take phone and whole kit back to Telstra store where I purchase less than 48hrs ago. Asking for a replacement, they advised they cannot without sending it to repair to check on water ingress !! WTF ! My new phone has not been anywhere near water. All I asked for is a replacement after parting with almost $800, now Im left to wait for Telstra to send away for 7 business days to then decide if I'm entitled to a replacement ??
It appears from all over the net the current fix is to only remove the battery and re fit . After me removing my sim card and memory card, my green lines had disappeared however the shop employee did get to see the fault.
Dam why should I have to wait ! They have $800 of my money and I don't have what I paid for !
Come on Telstra.
GASM

This happened to me. Its just software. Mine did it for a day when I first got it but then disappeared and I haven't seen it happen since.

My friend has the same problem, Except when he restarts the lines go away but they come back after 2 days or so. It's really bothering him. The other thing is he doesn't want to send it to HTC as it will take forever to get back.

[Q] Wildfire S (new) digitizer problem. Can you help me?

Hello everybody,
I've read a lot of threads here but none could solve my problem... My sister dropped her Wildfire S and the digitizer (the glass) broke in several pieces. Even though they were still in place, only the bottom right corner would respond to the touch, so I ordered a new digitizer on ebay and installed it but it worked only in that specific corner... so I found a fix in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21203638 (launching a calibration app via hboot using a goldcard) and the digitizer then began to work (but with many problems) just on the left and the right of the screen, the center was dead. So I asked the seller a new digitizer and it worked on the left and right too, like the previous one, but more flawlessly. I reused that fix and now the digitizer is working perfectly but just on 3/4 - 4/5 of the screen! the extreme left is dead, so I can't press the Shift button on my keyboard + a couple buttons right there... I'm now supposing that the digitizer is not faulty since the center didn't work and started to as I used that fix... I've also put a cyanogen rom on the phone but it's still as it was previously... Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I misspelled something

So do you think I should send them the phone with the new digitizer installed?

Where did you buy the phone?

In a mobile phone shop... do you think they'll trust me if I just tell them it's not working? btw, I'd like to find a better solution... my intention is to fix this digitizer

I took back my Galaxy i5500 5 times in 10 months, it was rooted and had I had Cyanogenmod installed on it. I soft bricked it 4 of them times (The first time was shock damage, but the man behind the counter said my device was great and he really liked the appearance and customization of Cyanogenmod and even asked me for the XDA URL).
Just take it back, say it's stopped working, worst thing that can happen is they'll send it back saying it hasn't been fixed as you've tampered with it.
Good luck,
Curtis.

g2x touch screen keys not working!.

okay, so the tittle says it itself. but the normal screen works. :\ is the keys that don't do anything. "home, Back, search and menu" everything works flawlessly, but this keys just wont respond. the light turns on every time i touch the screen but when i touch any of the bottom keys. it just doesn't do anything. any one have any suggestions? that could help me .. ive done factory resets twice and the hard reset also. would flashing a rom fix this problem?

Doesn't hurt to try. Do a backup and re flash rom or a different rom if problem is consistent than it might be hardware
Sent from my LG-P999

Thanks for your quick reply tomorrow morning i'll do that. I have to figure out,how to flash a rom. I have not yetrooted the phone or Flashed any rom. If flashing rooms don't work, would replacing the screen, lens or digitizer do anything??
Sent from my MB525 using XDA

Forgot to mention, did you try rebooting and/or hard reset?? Well before you start messing with it, is it still under warranty? If so send it in. Wait till tomorrow like you said maybe another person might have a better answer. If you haven't rooted your phone then you should Imo. Best thing a g2x can get is a custom rom! You will be very impressed. It may be
Sent from my LG-P999

i think i mentioned it on the first post. yes i have done a hard reset and I've done the "pull out the battery, take the sim card out and the Sd card and just turn it on with just the battery. and i believe is not. this phone has been around for a while and like i said is my friends. I wouldn't know if it is but I'll ask him when i get a chance.

It may be the digitizer I don't know for sure I'll actually do some research cause kinda interesting...

I want to go with you needing a new digitizer.

if not find an ICS launcher type thing it'll put the onscreen keys lol. I couldn't much especially on either the G2X nor European variant O2X... and I got bored reading about people spilling water, so make sure it doesn't have water damage other then that... new digitizer.

any suggestion would be appreciated!! I'm sure this phone is not under warranty, so replacing the digitizer wouldn't be a problem for me. at this moment I'm installing ClockworkMod, do any of you know which Rom is the best, as of in "stable/No Problems/Fast"?
Edit: Just Flashed CM7.1.0.1 to my phone and no luck at all. seems like I'm going to have to buy a new digitizer. Hopefully that solves the problem.

You can use the app, Button Saviour.

Well the manufacturer I bought it from is in china and I live in the states so its going to take a few weeks to get here. But as soon as I replace the old digitizer with the new one I will post the results here.

While you're at it, may as well make a video/pic tutorial.

I know the aokp ICS rom has a navigation bar that puts a Home, Back, and Menu button on the screen for people that don't have physical buttons. I'm not sure if other ICS roms for the g2x keep this feature. This may work as a temp solution until your new digitiser arrives.

There are plenty of videos/tutorials how to open the phone and replace the digitizer on YouTube.
@linelock, Thanks for your suggestion. but sadly the phone's digitizer/screen got cracked somehow while it was in my backpack, :\ so now I'm just waiting for the one I ordered since the touchscreen doesn't work at all... For now I'm just using this defy..

As far as I know, manufacturer warranties is 1 year, depending on when the phone was first sold...don't know if you'd go that way. I don't think it applies to secondhand phones, but some have tried it and it worked.
As far as tutorials on youtube, I found this was the most comprehensive.

Tempted to make a white g2x...

digitizer came in just a few hours ago, i managed to replace it and now everything works!!! I AM HAPPY!!!. so to answer some Users questions, yes replacing the digitizer did fix the Issue!!

Display showing only colored dots

Since yesterday my HTC Sensation shows only a screen with colored dots - it seems to be some kind of physical problem, as removing the battery and rebooting does not help. Has anybody experienced such problems in the past or has a clue what's wrong with it?

Are u able to get into hboot?Recovery? Have you connected to PC and tried adb devices?Or tried to flash an ruu? Are you on stock or rooted rom.

Can't get into hboot or recovery on the handset (screen stays black).
But seems that I can get into recovery over adb pressing volume down and turning on with a PC connected.

I don't think so, actually I believe I've always been good to my phone. Can't even remember it falling down once and should also not have been in contact with water. That's why I'm posting here, I was mainly interested if anybody has seen such problems in the past (and especially if he/she knows a reason for them).
It practically happened all of a sudden - well, actually I had the problem already for two or three times about one month ago, but at that time only for a second, not reproducible (first even thought about a software problem). Now it suddenly changed to a constant problem.

[Q] Tab is running - display stays dark

Hey. hope someone has a good idea:
tablet had a display crack
was unlocked
i let it repair with rma
they wanted to change the motherboard. i said no motherboard is not brocken, just unlocked
they repaired the crack
i got tablet back
now i can start the device. but nothing is shown on the display. it stays dark (with white background light).
But tablet is running. i can hear starting sound and if i connect tablet to PC i can access all files on the device like normal.
but still nothing is shown on the display. not even starting logo, recovery screen... nothing.
any idea?
Customer care says: yeah you have to replace the motherboard, because its broken.... but it is not broken. it works fine. it just seams that the connecten between display and motherboard is not working correctly.. any idea? any help?
asus wants over 250€ for the motherboard!
i feel tricked

Well the motherboard is fine if the tablets does boot and work but it might be that the connaction to screen and the motherboard isnt working right .
And if the screen worked befor you sent it they should have fix it themselves because the problem happend when they had the tablet.
Btw. I am new here so i might be wrong
But i do know a few thing and it doesn't look like it should happend if tge glass itself was the only thing broken.

thats the way i see it. thanks for the reply.
i think they try to make money and say "MB is unlocked = brocken = need new one" $$
and i dont like that!
anyone got a good idea what to do to create more pressure on asus end?

Once you have unlocked you cant do anything because it voids the warenty
And i have a problem with my tablet and i cant realy do anything about it .
So bad luck for us
