[resolved]I think my digitizer is broke. maybe its the rom

I dont know it it is a software issue to what. Last night I put my phone in my pocket. I pulled it out and the screen was a frozen white noise image. I dont know it my phone is locked up cause I used the revolution rom or the screen went bad. Any ideas?
I will try to add a phone. I currently am using my old pantech c300 due to lack of back up phones.

Before I offer any advice, what have you done so far to try and remedy this (i.e. battery pull, reformat phone, bang it on a desk...)? I just need to know what you've done before I try and offer you the same solution...

WHat I have tried
I have currently tried battery pull. Restore via power/volume down. I just tried to restart again for giggle. my bt headset did say phone 2 connected.
currently this is what the screen looks like,.
You can just text me with advice if it would be easier. thanks again.

Where you overclockign at all? GPU,CPU or OV~UV gpu failure could do that

No overclocking I know of. Heck I'd stock if I could get it back

I'm not sure exactly how this applies to HTC phones, but for Samsung phones, the 3-button boot into recovery usually clears these kinds of issues right up!
Once you get into recovery, we clear data, cache and dalvik cache, potentially restoring your phone back to stock condition. Yes, you lose all your stuff, but whatever was causing the malfunction is usually gone at that point. There's a possibility it could just be how your ROM was interacting with your lovely manufactured equipment (YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary, meaning not all phones are built the same so what works for some may not work for others due to the small differences in every manufactured part...)
Now as far as your screen goes, did you drop it or anything like that? Do you think this was physically damaged while in your pocket at all? Does it get pretty hot when in your pockets or was it hot this time when you pulled it out?

Not hot. It wont go into boot loader

I followed this. Several time. I changed batteries. changed sd card. and left the battery out for 30. Still not working.
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button."

So the phone works.just had the alarm go off. If that's any help.

It was found out to be the screen. I had a friend mess with it and he said it just came back on. he made it stock again and it goes out Monday for warranty. I gotta pay for shipping but its alot cheaper than a new phone.

Interesting. Who manufactured the screen? There seem to be a lot of issues with the Sensations display, it would be cool if we could isolate it to one of the two manufacturers.

Might want to change your title to reflect "[SOLVED]" somewhere in it, also.
Sorry I couldn't help more, but hardware isn't my thing

When you say he messed with it, what exactly did he do?

I quoted wdhat he said. sorry for the vague wording. I believe he took the back off and suspended it upside down from teh back for an hour then restarted it 15 times and it came back on. after that he went put it all back together. From what he said if you press on certain parts of the screen it goes out. but then others if comes back. Similar to a teeter totter. as he put it. I am guessing a ribbon has come loose or something

Flicker screen

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

Sooo... mine started doing something weird this morning...
Is it anything like yours is doing?

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.

my screen will have a black square in the top left that will occasionally flicker only on the home screen when I swipe through. Does anyone have this specifically? Really hope there is a fix, it is quite an annoyance.

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.

[Q] G2X screen not visible

Afternoon all. I know the title might seem like a BSOD post but my situation is different. I've searched but can't come up with anything.
When I turn my phone on, it completes the boot but the screen never appears. How do I know it's on? Three things, the ROM I'm using, Eagle'sBlood I think, has an engine revving theme instead of standard Android chime. Second,the menu, home, back space and search buttons on the G2X body illuminate. Lastly, if I swipe in the area where I think the unlock icon should be, the phone unlocks. If I hold down the power button and wait for the shutdown notice, I can guess the 'Do You want to shut down' and 'confirm shut down' icons and the phone turns off.
I've tried removing the battery, SD card, sim card and rebooting in each variation but with no luck. The phone has been rooted for over a year and so I tried booting into CWM (powerbutton, down volume). I think I'm getting into CWM fully but without the ability to see the screen I can't navigate.
This started happening yesterday. I was listen to Pandora and using a GPS app to track my run. The battery died during. I plugged it in for several hours but haven't seen the screen display since.
Any suggestions? If this is a hardware issue I'll get a new phone but without being able to see the screen, I'm not sure how to diagnose the problem. Other than rooting and changing the ROM, the phone is stock. The issue I had before this is the battery icon doesn't display. It just shows a battery outline with a ?-mark inside. The battery level only shows when the phone is charging and powered off.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Really sounds like a dead lcd or maybe just the backlights. I don't really know how the backlight works on this phone but typically if there is video but no light you can put a flashlight onto the screen and barely make out the display around the flashlight. Either way it sounds like hardware.

Twitch - Thanks for the reply. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by backlights though. When the phone is on and the screen is not asleep I see lights around the edges but the screen itself is black. For my own knowledge is LCD and 'digitizer' synonymous? I saw another thread describing how to replace the digitizer for $60-75.
I'll try checking it with a flashlight when I get home.

I know there is an opinion thing but what is a good upgrade from the G2x for a non-hardcore user? I rooted and changed the ROM b/c you guys made it so easy to do, not b/c I was looking for the phone to do more than it already does. Up until this, and the battery display issue, and a wifi issue I forgot to mention, I've been happy with the G2x but there is no reason to spend $100+ repairing a 2+ year old phone that I pickup used off CList in Q1, 2012 if I can find something better on the used market for $200

Yeah I'm not too sure how these phones are set up, I have more experience with lcd monitors and such. But I think it is all in one piece on phones.
If you're looking to upgrade pretty much anything that came after the g2x likely has a lot more to offer in development. Good thing about this phone is everything is an upgrade. I have a samsung galaxy s 4g that's nearly 3 years old and single core but it runs 4.3 like a boss! Aside from GPS...

Flashlight didn't show any screen images. I think the next step is just trying to guess my way into debug mode and connect via uSB to my laptop and retrieve data before dumping the phone or trying to replace the lcd/digitizer. I saw an app mentioned in another post that should allow me to mirror my phones screen on a laptop. We'll see.

Thanks again. Anyone else had this issue?

last chance
Last chance in case anyone has any great ideas. I'll be ordering a new LCD and digitizer (probably don't need both) but would prefer not to spend the coin if that isn't my problem. all suggestions welcome

Hmmm, this an odd and aggravating problem you have here lol. I've ran two versions of eaglesblood, their CM7 version on 2.3.4 and their ICS AOSP version on 4.0.4 and have never heard an engine revving in any boot animation so I'm not sure what rom you're running either. Have you tried the hard reboot? While the phone is on at the home screen (if you think you're there I guess) hold the power button and the volumeUP button and the phone will reboot. I've read on here from a more experienced user before that doing this clears or does something to the caches that makes for a more complete reboot or "reset" of the phone's condition. Try that and see what happens. The only other option I would try to take is to flash a new rom and before doing so doing a COMPLETE wipe (to include format /system) and full instillation of a new rom, gapps and kernel. Can you see any images if you boot into CWM when shining a light on the phone's screen?

Maybe I'm wrong about the ROM. The flash screen shows the android graphic in electric blue and a comet type animation zooms around. During the zooming, the sound is an engine revving. I was using the ROM for 2-3 months before this issue popped up so I doubt it is the cause just wanted to give those more knowledgeable than myself as much info as possible

That's my real problem, I can' t see anything! With the phone on, when I hit the power button and unlock the screen (guessing), the only illumination is the menu, home, back space and search buttons on the G2X body. I can tell from the haptic feedback once the phone is unlocked and I can occasionally guess the proper location to shutdown.
I tried the hard restart (Power, Up) but same result. I've downloaded an app called MobileGo for the computer that displays the phone screen but I can't get USB debugging turned on.
I have noticed another odd issue. With the phone turned on and the SIM card installed, when I call myself from a LAN line it goes straight to vmail. I know the SIM is good b/c I've been using an old nokia candy bar phone with the same SIM while troubleshooting. When re-inserting a SIM card, is there anything the user needs to do for the phone to recognize the SIM? Just wondering if this 'direct to vmail' is another sign of ............something.
Thanks

Sometimes when I take out the sim card my apn gets messed up. Ideally you'd just go into settings and load default apn and it'll work again.

But calling should work.
Seems like a busted screen from everything being described here.
Try connecting to a tv using hdmi... maybe the ROM would allow it to display. Worth a shot.

It's alive!!
My phone is alive, or at least it was.
I followed the directions on the youtube video I found to take the G2X apart and the first thing I noticed was the corrosion on LCD connector. I'd already purchased the LCD so instead of cleaning the old we just replaced it. The new screen worked, unfortunately I couldn't get a signal so we took it apart again to clean off corrosion on all the connectors. I'll let it sit for a few days to make sure everything is dry.
Don't be a fool like me, if you're going to do anything with your phone that might cause it to get wet, especially sweat, put it in a baggie or something. I'll post a follow-up if the thorough cleaning does any good.

I'm pulling for ya man, best of luck!

It works!!
The G2X is up and running again! :good:

For anyone else that runs across this thread, unless the digitizer or LCD is physically damaged I'd disassemble the phone and check for corrosion before buying new parts. I used the new LCD but that b/c I'm not going through the trouble of returning a $16 item.
Wi-fi still doesn't seem to be working, which is odd. Wi-fi stopped working two months ago, it doesn't even show available networks, but worked for a few minutes when I originally replaced the LCD last weekend. Both antennae are connected but oh well. if I had to choose network vs wi-fi connectivity, I'll take network!
Thanks again for all the help

Busted phone for a Dev if you want it

Alright guys, I had a conversation in Ax's "Run ROMs on different Carriers" thread, but I really want to get to the bottom of my issue, whether it be a hardware issue, ROM related, OR user related.
I've been having an issue with my phone the past few days. Started out it would read "invalid sim, need to reboot" or something along that. Anyways this was after flashing a nightly and I figured, OK, it's a nightly i'll live with it. Eventually my phone just started to power off/reboot all by itself; not real consistent but it was happening more than I would like. Today, the S*&% really hit the fan. I flashed a nightly Wednesday night(i'm not going to say which one, because i'm not sure if it was from the ROM itself or if this was a hardware issue). Anyways, Friday at about noon or so, I open a game to play on my lunch break, I get distracted so I lock my phone to attend to something else. I go back to my phone and it is powered off, now totally unresponsive to anything. I pull battery and try to restart, when I place the battery back in the phone it automatically reboots(WITHOUT ANY BUTTON PRESS) I thought to myself ok this is kind of weird. I try rebooting by using power+vol up...absolutely nothing, it's just a brick. Well, I pull the battery again, hold vol up thinking it will go into recovery...nope, it will boot for a sec or two, just enough to get the blue lettering on the top left of the screen then shuts off again. OK, let's put this b*&*h into download mode and see what happens. it goes into DL mode, all the way to the point of where it says " do not turn target off" then shuts down. I did both of these multiple times, with different batteries as well, plugged in and not. It won't stay on for a computer to recognize it. Someone suggested a stuck power button, I don't think so; it feels the same as it always has.
I was fortunate enough to be able to get another S4 with a busted screen so I switched out motherboards. I have a working phone again...which is all I was worried about. I've flashed quite a few ROMs, I follow procedure to the T when flashing... What do you guys think...hardware issue...user issue...ROM issue? I'm very curious to know because I don't want this happening again, obviously. I would even send the phone out to someone to play with(mind you, the screen doesn't work and the silver bezel is crappy because I just used my original one).

I would say stay away from whatever ROM you flashed. This could also be a hardware issue. I had my old note just randomly shut off on me and was unresponsive as well. Finally got it to boot and reset it. But in your case I would stay away from that ROM and maybe find something more stable. So as this is unknown to what happened I would not blame either. Sorry to hear about your bad experience.

Im saying nothing for sure, but a stuck power button feels just like normal. I had this issue on two separate samsung phones (they are known for this issue). I thought it was just bs, but i decided to tear it down and check. I used a q-tip and everclear and got plenty in there, wiggled and pressed the button for around five minutes. Re assembled, put the battery in and sure enough, the problem was gone. You cant always feel the button sticking. But hey, if you are offering the remains up, ill take em! I would gladly pay $200 for a replacement screen for it to test on.

Nexus 5 Black Screen, But Still Working

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.

I could also mention that this happen every time I unlocked the lockscreen on stock ROMs, and custom. But nameless ROM for some reason got it to this point at least. If any one have black screen on unlocking the block screen, try nameless rom...

So what your saying is to try the rom and see if it fixes it? Can I have a link or something, I don't know much about roms

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. Anyway, if you want to try it out, nameless-rom.org

Happens with my nexus too. The screen goes blank randomly ..... But i have managed to deal with it.

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.
