Hi,
Picked up a HTC one S of off a mate today who dropped it and cracked the screen. Replaced the screen for him but it's still not working. Here's symptoms and what I tried.
-black screen all the time
-phone boots, three buttons at bottom lit up, LED flashes green and if I call him the phone vibrates
-if I hold down the power and volume buttons down, once the home lights have flashed 15 times I see a few lines of flicker for a fraction of a second on the screen and then nothing.
-Touchscreen appears to work as it vibrates when touching it (and I'm inputting text presumably?)
-He hadn't customised/flashed any other ROM on there.
Can someone perhaps shed light on next steps for troubleshooting?
Thanks
Tobias

Short description.
One morning I tried to check time, but noticed, that only backlight is working, LCD doesn't show nothing. Thirst opinion - LCD dead, but i have turned it off and on. After pressing power button, left green LED blinks tow times, with second one right LED turns on, and for one second both lights are on, than they turns off. Backight is on, after some time it turns off, than on and agian off. After that i tipe SIM car code and phone is working, but without LCD. As normal, right LED is blinking.
After locking keypad, and whaiting for several seconds, left light turns on, but right LED still blinking. Left LED turns off only after pressing any key.
Any suggestions?

Hi.
I have S6500D with CM 10.1 build 30.08.2013.
I've tested latest 4 builds and white screen issue was not a problem for me, until today. Phone starts with white screen, when touching volume keys plays sounds with a little lag, home button and power buttons works but white screen remain.
But, problem is that i have white screen even in recovery mode ( CWM 6.0.3.3 jena) and download mode. I cannot do anything.
I flashed with Odin 3 v.3.04 original rom and white screen persist.
After power on, the phone plays sound logo, display turn on in white screen and stays on, then phone vibrate 3 times, periodic.
With the phone off and on charging, white screen appear and display turn off after few seconds.
What do you think ? Is there any chances to repair my phone?
Update: -now phone don't want to enter in recovery mode
What can i do ?
Solved.

Hi guys, I just got a uleFone U007, and having a black screen problem.
The thing is that, after every few hours when I press the power button to unlock the phone, the screen stays black .
I am able to blindly unlock it by swiping on the screen, and I can feel that the screen in responding in background.
The navigation buttons are also responding (phone vibrates on touch).
However the screen still says black. And if I restart it (keep power button pressed), the screen is coming back, but again, only for few hours.
Do you know of any solutions for that? For me it seems like a software issue rather then a hardware problem. A GUI crash...
Also if any ideas on how to further investigate that will be helpful.
Thanks

Are you on the latest update? is your phone rooted?
Hello everyone,
I bought a LCD replacement for my OPO, and asked a friend to replace the screen (he had his own OPO, and changed the screen on it a couple times, so I trusted him).
The frame was not included, so the phone is without it unfortunately.
But I have this problem with the screen itself...
I boot the phone, everything goes well, it boots, everything ok, I can do everything...
Then the phone goes to sleep after the 30s, and sometimes when I press the button to turn it on, the lights in the bottom light up, I can hear sounds, I can swipe to answer calls for example, but the screen stays all black.
If I press the power button to turn it to sleep mode and then click again to wake it within 1 or 2 seconds, it works everythime.
Its just when it goes to sleep... And then I have to press the power button to reset the phone, and it boots again.
I'm using the LineageOS Rom, and I never had problems like this before replacing the LCD.
What caused this? Could the screen be "broken" when I bought it?
Thank you for reading this and for the help!

Well,clearly the issue is lcd itself.Happened with me on my last screen replacement,it was defective.Though in my case,I had to power on/off the device to get the display back.Get a refund or replacement,there's no other alternative.
Hi,
I got a Z3 which was described as stuck on the boot screen but it actually seems to work to some degree but no image is displayed on the screen and there is a robotic voice which sounds like a visual description tool/app.
When I collected the phone I was told they installed talkback then it all went wrong.
The phone turns on and displays the ‘SONY XPERIA’ start screen with a tiny strip of fuzzy lines at the bottom of the screen which disappear after a while but the white Sony text remains.
Then the backlight dims and the robotic voice starts like it is describing things on the screen BUT it is not understandable or in a foreign language. Every now and again there is a word which can be understood.
Pressing the power button it seems to lock/sleep with the voice announcement ending and it just sits there but occasionally it says something random.
If you press the power button the backlight comes on but the screen remains black - no image.
Using a stylus to tap around the screen the voice responds and it vibrates and you get pings and clicks as you would expect.
I seem to be able to get into the dialer/keyboard because it then reads outs numbers in English and possibly some letters.
Plugging in the charger the LED lights up as expected; Red - Orange - Green
It rings when I phone it and then the LED flashes white for a notification.
Powering it up while holding volume up - it vibrates 3 times.
Holding the off switch the red LED comes on and it vibrates.
When I connect it to Windows an icon appears in file explorer but blank when double clicked.
PC/Xperia companion opens & recognises it but displays the warning “Your device is locked - 1. Set Xperia to MTP mode”
I have tried one of those USB screen emulating/mirroring applications but it can’t connect either.
I tried Sony Mobile Flasher, but it tells me "Device connected with USB debugging off. For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode"
What can I do?
Your help much appreciated.
