[Q] Screen problem - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi guys, I m new here. Recently, I dropped my phone and it was okay for the day...However, the next day, the screen has a little problem.
The sensitivity is cool, still the same. No crack whatsoever.
However, the screen sometimes become blurred/double image (as shown below) or completely went black.
With "luck", the screen would turn on. If not, it will stay black for most of the time.
I called the service center and was told that my phone was no longer under warranty. Thus, the repairing fee would be quite hefty according to the operator.
Guys, if I may ask, what's the problem with this? How can I solve this and how much would it costs? Would a factory reset be useful under such circumstances?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think a factory reset is going to do any good, it looks to me like a hardware fault. You can try replacing the display yourself, there are guides on YouTube. There are three different types of screens that went into this phone so you need to make sure you get the right one, I believe they're differentiated by colour coding on the connecting flat cable (you might want to check this). You'll need to disassemble the device to identify it. You'll want to get the screen + digitizer as separating the two without breaking either is almost impossible. From memory I think you can pick them up for under $100.

Too bad I have no idea how to fix it myself. The service center is charging me roughly $250-300 (after conversion of my currency)
Thanks tima. Do you happen to know what kind of screen i should get? I heard some screen leaves gap at the top of the phone.

As long as you match the screen to the one I'm your device it should be ok.

In Panic Mode, help please--screen went dark

My screen worked fine earlier today, then out of the blue went dark. It is as if the backlight is set at a permanent low setting. I can barely make out what is on the screen. It is not totally black, but it is by no means easily visible. I have not made any reg changes or application installs that I did not previously have.
Please help. This particular device was an insurance swap out made in November. I have tried hard resetting, and nothing. It is still a very dark screen--even the initial TMo boot screen is dark.
I am running Jaguar 3.1 by NTS.
PLEASE...help. I would very much appreciate any insight. Is my screen fried? Is it able to be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

you can try the prog Mymobiler to see if your today screen is really dark (if it´s dark on your computer too, than i think it´s a software failure) if it´s shown normal on your computer than i don´t know, maybe hardware failure...
sorry can´t help more
steph
I have that program too, and didn't even think about that. I will try it and report back. Thanks for the idea.
EDIT
Everything works fine using My Mobiler. I was able to make sure power and brightness adjustments were made-but to no avail. I even flashed a different rom just to rule out rom failure. My screen is still dark. In bright light I can barely view the item, and that is with some serious squinting.
Could it be my screen needs replacing, or is this a bigger issue like the mobo? If you suspect the screen only, could you please suggest where I can get a replacement screen?
This sucks big time. I love my Wizard and really do not want to move to an inferior device (like a "regular" cellphone, or the Wing--which is what insurance would swap me with).
PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY WIZ!!
I remember a long time ago...

The first time I have use a Pocket pc in settings I uncheck the square that say "Turn on backlight whena button i pressed or the screen is tapped".. or something, jeje every time I turned on my wizard, it hasn't light jaja.
But I think that your problem is hardware, you need another wizard to change displays... cause if you buy a new display... maybe the failure isfor the motherboard...
Think about it...

Thanks for your quick responses!!
I was worried that the issue could go beyond just screen issues. Does anyone know a way to troubleshoot something like this? To find out if it is just a screen, or if the MoBo is going out on me...
**Or is anyone willing to sell me their working but no longer used wizard? I can afford about $100 (+shipping costs/insurance) for a used but working device. My hubby is unemployed and I am on disability so right now money is tight.

Check ebay, you maybe able to find a working phone for 100 bucks. Gook luck!
have you checked the wiring (flat cable) that connects to the screen.
maybe you just need to replace that. if the screen works, then it is just the LED's that are not responding. maybe just a loose connection, or a broken contact.
Does the keyboard light up?
i think i have the same problem or at least similar.
my screen backlight goes black from time to time when i press the screen "too hard", but that comes and goes.
interesting: i'm using homescreen plusplus (ex-batterystatus) to overclock my cpu with the option "set cpu speed at wakeup" activated. when i turn off my screen with the power button and then turn it on again, in most cases my backlight turns on, too.
but that's to enerving for me to live with that, so i disassembled my wizard and found some sort of black dot on the flat display connector. maybe it has something do with that? and if so, where can i get such a flex cable?

I have the manual--I used it when my usb was fubar'd--but I am a bit intimidated about doing something with my screen. Is it something that can be easily screwed up if I even look at it funny, or can I handle it carefully and not worry that the mere act of touching it will make it explode??!!
Perhaps I am being a bit dramatic, but you get the idea I think.
Do I have to be totally grounded out first? Do I need gloves on? Or do I just rip the dang thing apart and go at it?
Thanks for your help and responses.

You can get an anti-static kit in Radioshack!
Well I don't have a Wizard, so this might not be much help; however, I have had a similar problem with my Touch Elf after installing a new app. The dark screen did not appear until I performed a soft reset and I really started to panic because there was nothing I could do to change it. I could barely make anything out that was being displayed it was so dark. Even when I turn my screen brightness down it was not ever that dark. Just out of luck though I pluged my phone into my computer VIA USB and voila, the backlight came on. I could use my phone again and immediately navigated to my brightness display settings and turned it all the way up (it was set all the way down for some reason). I have not had this problem ever since. I don't know if you have tried this already or not - It was not mentioned in any posts.
Good luck

Check out eBay for a replacement LCD, I got one last week for € 32,- ($45,-) including the shipping costs.
BUT...when buying from eBay notice the following 2 things:
1) The screens are most of the times used screens with a new (hand-soldered) digitizer on it (but it is done nicely as far as I have seen).
2) Disassemble your Wizard, check if your LCD has a BLACK or a GOLDEN flex ribbon cable at the back.....when you purchase the wrong one, it will not work!
An alternative is just to buy a 2nd hand Wizard for like $70 / $80, buy a new housing for it ($40) and it looks brand new (except for the LCD, most LCD's do have some scratches on it).
A HTC Wizard Service Manual can be found in the Wizard section on the XDA Dev FTP Server (I use it a lot), sometimes when buying a LCD on eBay they will also send you the tools needed to disassemble and reassemble the Wizard.
Good luck!

I can furnish you with a flex cable for $15.00, plus $5.00 for shipping. Let me know if you have an MDA or 8125.

[Q] Screen issue, can only see pixels

Hi,
I'm not sure if there already is a thread about this problem, so sorry if there is
When I grabbed my Nexus 5 out my pocket, the screen didn´t work. It only shows pixels. I´ve tried to reset it to factory settings using a hard reset but that doesn´t work. It still only shows the pixels. I can´t send it back to LG for repair because I´ve changed the kernel and I can´t get a connection with my pc. Does anybody have any idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
What do you mean by "can only see pixels" ?? Blurry lines?? Distortion?? If so, there's a possibility that the flex cable might have gone bad.. In any case, you need to send it in for repairs.

Yes I can only see blurry lines in different colours. But is it possible to repair it by replacing the screen + touch module?

May be, May be not. No one can know the extent of the damage without opening up the device.
You need professional help. So, it's either Google (if you've bought from play) or LG. There's nothing you can do here as the screen is completely useless. Just send it in and hope for the best.
If you want to backup your data, you could boot up the phone (if you can) and use adb to backup if you've enabled usb debugging. But that's about it..
Good luck!

Nexus 5 showing only pixels
Hi
Even I am facing the same issue. My nexus 5 is only 4 months old and from the past few days, display is not working consistently. It only shows pixels all over the screen and there is no image at all. Also, there is no physical damage to the phone at all. Although It just fell once recently on its back from a chairs height but it already had a strong spigen slim armor case that provides pretty good protection so i dont think that fall could have caused any internal damage.
A few days after this and after i upgraded to 5.1, I first started to see the screen hanging and then suddenly when i tried to restart, it started showing pixels all over the screen. A few times when i press power button multiple times, then sometimes (say 1 out of 20 times or even less) ,home screen appears but even then it does not work. I am very frustrated with the problem and not sure what could be the issue. Could you please let me know what could be the problem. I have shown it to some repair shops but it looks like they are just looking to grab money and they simply tell me that they can replace display.
So i thought its better to post it here in xda to get feedback on this. Please can you let me know what could be problem, is it hardware or software issue and how it could be resolved. Please help me urgently as I am not able to use the phone.
Thanks.

[Q] Dead Screen, but Nexus 5 otherwise boots

My Nexus 5 took a dunk two days ago. Screen was off when I got it out and it wouldn't wakeup so I assumed it was off, but looking back it might still have been on and the screen was simply dead already. I took it apart and disconnected the battery and then left it in rice until today. I reassembled it and tried to turn it on, but nothing seemed to be happening until my N5 vibrated. I decided to plug it into my PC and adb picked it up and started spewing a logcat. Then Pushbullet started forwarding notifications, so it's clear that my device is on and working, but the screen is clearly dead.
Is there any possibility of fixing it?
EDIT: Seems to randomly reboot every once in awhile.
Sure can, for about $50usd u can get a complete new screen/LCD/digitizer and to replace it is fairly easy, I actually offer screen replacement, fixes to and can provide tutorials, as I just finished the same fix on my phone, let me know if I can be of any help...

How easy is "fairly easy"? My hardware skills aren't that great and I might not have the needed tools.

If you buy an entire front panel (glass, LCD, digitizer, etc) it shouldn't be too hard and is mostly a swap.
If you buy individual parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYG66MFuwcU & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XevDmI5zpjw
Water damage is one of the worst things you can do short of complete destruction, and it might be a good idea to consider just purchasing a replacement device as it could fail at any moment afterwards.
so did you find a solution
In the end I backed up all my stuff using ADB and bought a new phone. Wasn't worth the trouble of fixing when I couldn't be sure that it was simply the screen that was busted. With there being so many decent devices these days in the $200-400 range it was better to just invest in a new phone. I picked up a lightly used OnePlus One to replace it, and then got a new ZTE Axon 7 Fall of last year.
Check Swappa if you need a good deal on a phone.

Display Screen is pixel or scrolls

Hi,
I have Nexus 5 and was running good with Marshmellow and suddenly one day the screen started scrolling up. Restart or factory reset did not help. While starting the boot logo was also corrupted and I use to get is display with random pixels lit with different colors, mostly white and red. So have tried different bootloaders and even downgrading to 4.4.4 but the issue is still there.
Called up Google and LG as well. Since device is not under warranty now, it is going to cost for repair. So would like to know if there is any solution to this problem before I try the repair or give on this device.
Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you,
Sandeep.
Was the phone ever dropped? It's possible that there is a loose connection inside the phone. I suggest removing the back and inspecting the phone's internal components and connections.
If everything appears fine, it could be A problem with the lcd of motherboard, neither of which is cheap to repair. I suggest trying to find a used nexus 5, either with a smashed screen and working internal components or one with a working screen and damaged internals to troubleshoot your own phone.

I do not recollect dropping it. I would wait to see if any better option comes up. And will keep an eye for an broken Nexus to see if I can get the motherboard swapped. Thanks for ideas though.

Nexus 5 Audio and Black Screen Issues

Hi everyone, I'm have an issue with my Nexus 5 and hoping someone here can tell me whats going on.
It started off with the sound always cutting out, and I have to press the back part near the "S" logo for it to return.
Eventually the screen would go black but I can clearly see a back light is on. Now not only does the sound cut out, and screen goes blank.
It has become very sluggish to reboot it. I hold the power button until the phone reboots "Google" logo appears and the android animation. Now during this time the phone will be so slow to the point of being crippled out and i have to reboot it again and again until it is normal speed returns. Often it will black out during this time.
I'm just trying to understand what is failing. I tried safe-mode and it still has the issue. I cleared cache, reset the phone everything, nothing appears to fix the issue at all.
edit: I forgot to add, when I'm on YT or listening to music or browsing the web, even though the screen is blank with just the back light on, the sound is still going (when it works). I get text/call notifications still during this time.
My Phone Details.
Nexus 5
Android version, 6.0.1 (MOB30Y)
no ROOT
No replies at all, I guess I may have to garbage the phone. Idk what else to do with this device to fix it.
Please don't throw it away.
You said that pushing at a specific spot fixes the problem (or improves the audio situation). This means that it's a hardware problem. I have disassembled it many times and I know the layout. Behind the 'S' of NEXUS is actually the motherboard cover, and under it are 2 connectors; one for the battery and one for an extra 'board' that is located right underneath the LG logo on your back cover. On that 'board' is your screen connector, and also the speaker rests on there, as well as the primary microphone, 3G and 4G antennas and of course the USB port. The connector for this extra board is actually located a bit to the left on the 'S' (when you look at your phone from the back, it's more below the camera).
Now I have to note this: While using my phone, I have experienced some UI hiccups. At random times (very rarely) everything would just freeze for a few minutes, though music would still play. The power button was useless apart from the hard reset, it was so badly stuck. This was a software problem, although it appeared MOST at one point when my motherboard was faulty. Since I got a new device, it happened again but only once. I'm not sure that this is what you are experiencing. If this is the case, then it's a software fault. Never happened on CM so you can give it a try.
But since it's probably a hardware problem, you can always check it out yourself. Obviously if you have warranty you are covered. Otherwise, you can try disassembling it, at least take the back cover and the motherboard cover off, it's ridiculously easy, there is a disassembly guide from ifixit (I think) online, just be careful not to break the clips of the back cover (xp talking). If you open it, keep away metal things and the first thing you do after you remove the motherboard cover is remove the battery (xp talking again). Obviously turn off the phone properly before you attempt anything. Everything is sensitive in there so be careful. What you should look for is the long connector that connects the extra board that is located at the bottom of the phone with the motherboard. That's what you are pushing so if it's not sitting correctly, then that's your problem.
Plus, everything in there, apart from the motherboard, is cheap and can be found on eBay so don't worry if something is broken (unless it's the motherboard, then no hope ).
I hope I helped.
Firstly thanks for the reply. I did manage to remove the back and get to the connector you were saying. I reseated this and noticed the phone was working much better. I noticed the following still.
When it starts acting slow/crippled pressing this connector fixes the issue. However once the screen goes black with just a backlight this method is rendered useless. Also sometimes when I plug in the wire to charge it will cripple and or go black. So I wondering if the board is shot as you suggested to order a new one, or is it the connector strip ?
Again thank you for the response.
It seems like this board is causing everything. First, check the connector on the motherboard. Make sure that nothing is wrong on the motherboard. Then you can remove the bottom black plastic thing that has the speaker on it and 2 antennas. Then, inspect this board. Check the connector of the display. There is only one big connector on it. This board is glued on the frame of the phone. You can remove it but do it carefully. Do it slowly so that you don't break it. First, remove the antennas extension cables from either this board or the motherboard, and then pull it out.
This board is definately responsible for the black screens and audio issues (unless your display is faulty, check its connector), but I'm not sure about the phone being sluggish. Since this board offers input to the motherboard, I suppose that it could be its fault.
Remove it and inspect everything. Then, if you want, you can order a new one. If you come across D820 and D821 models, I don't think that this part of the phone has anything to do with it so don't worry.
I will take a further look into this for sure, and report back. If you can provide which motherboard is required for my device, so I can also read into this and so that I may order it right-away. Is there any model number or something that indicates which board to order once it is open?
Thanks again!

You don't need to change the motherboard, not to mention it's very expensive and hard to find. What you need to replace is probably the flex cable that goes below the battery. For example this.
This is not model specific, you can use it with all available Nexus 5 models (D820/D821, 16/32GB) so it doesn't matter what device you have.
FYI, if you think that you should replace your motherboard (you probably shouldn't), you need to take into account the storage (16/32GB) and the network differences (D820 or D821, the only difference is about the 4G networking, the american version has some bands enabled and some others disabled, and vice versa)
Okay, I just ordered the replacement flex cable. It is going to take about a month before it arrives from HK , I hope it fixes the issues. I will respond to this post once it is here and installed. Thanks again.

in the meantime, pray it isn´t a motherboard issue, the conector can go bad and lose a few solder joints
I have exactly the same problem... I unmounted motherboard and clean everything but didn't help to much... did you find any solution ??
Siamer no solution just waiting for my delivery of the part. However it is getting worse with the blackscreens and crippled lag.

my is the same. sometimes is working for few hours without any problems and than starting again, on the biggining it was power button problem but not I don't even touch that button (I use vol button to turn on) and sometimes screen getting black (with backlight on) and can't do anything so have to reboot... it's so anoying! Hope that parts will fix it, please let me know if you will find some solution. Today I will open phone and clean all connections etc...
Thanks,

I believe the part may fix it. I noticed if i run my finger along the strip the phone may uncripple itself or just turn black all together. I'm hoping it fixes it. I will report asap but this HK shipping is so slow it will be a month. Also there is no tracking
ATM i'am just trying to becareful with it trying not to trigger the issue. I just did an OTA update using FlashFire (6.0.1 (MOB31E) i wish v.7 will be available for my Nexus 5 ha ha!
Also if the Nexus 7p arrives I may just buy it to replace this Nexus5.

Hi Omega59.
Today I bought air compressed can(name: air dust) and open my nexus 5 as much as I could. I clean everything, every connector, every cable etc. and last few hours is working fine... even power button is working ok. I will let you know in next few hours how it will be, hope will be still ok
Good luck!
siamer
[edit]
there is still same problem, working better than before, black screen not showing so often but still showing... I think tomorrow I will order oneplus3... Would be nice wait to see new nexus but how... :/
Yeah I'm not sure when the Nexus 7p will arrive, they not even advertised much. I will assume next year?
OnePlus 3 looks nice, but compared to Galaxy 7 it's a bit better slightly. You should check out comparison charts
Maybe they are making a OnePlus 4 soon.
oneplus 3 already ordered. I don't like samsung. I would say nexus "7p" or "pixel xl" will be launch october as always prabaly 4th of october - leaks saing that... next oneplus will be launch around july next year as I know. the only phone that I was thinking about was oneplus, htc10 or new nexus but can't wait to see nexus...
today by excident I broke screen in my nexus 5, got a little bit angry

You probably don't want to hear this, but if it's getting worse, it's probably because of the pressure you apply to it, you make it worse. Be careful when you apply pressure around the motherboard since it's very sensitive. You REALLY don't want to break the motherboard. So if you find yourself pushing on the motherboard too often, you might want to leave it and wait for the replacement part so you won't ruin it.
Waiting for your news...
My part arrived yesterday. I put it in was pretty easy, however the first attempt i had to redo the top connector bc it was still black screen and no audio. After I disconnected the top connector ran some alcohol over it, re-put the top part things are working okay.
Just a note, the little USB connector (charger slot) seems to be very tight compared to the old one. Maybe bc it's new and not as worn down. But even just to put the wire in, requires more of a push, same with removing it.
I will see how it goes before I can really say that was the issue. I will report after a few days about it.

I don't think N7P will be out this year, they have not advertised anything and we are almost in Oct. Right now they are all rumors.

When I changed my screen and housing it was difficult to slide the USB connector in too. Just make sure that everything is in place, there is a rubber think for the microphone, maybe that's what's in the way. Don't stress the connector too much.
