Is this the beginning of the end?
If I press hard enough on my phone screen, the screen turns off until the pressure is released.. Any fix that won't cost me money.. Is my phone on the road to the trash can?
I'm actually pretty angry right now...
And it does this with maybe 1-2 pounds of pressure applied to the glass.. and it's never done this before -.-

Perhaps applying pressure is loosening the ribbon cable. Ive taken one apart and I find that ribbon cable disconnects rather easily. ofcourse taking the onex apart is a ***** as far as im concerned.

Maybe the cable is loose, but I watched some video where the guy said if the cable isn't plugged in completely the display turns off.
Maybe the pressure is pulling it away until released? I just hope the screen isn't dying for good.
I'm not sending it in to get it repaired, because I can't live with doing "fastboot flash boot boot.img".. If I can fix it myself (for less than $30) I'll be happy.
I'd hate to have my phone die on my now, especially since I started devving :crying:

Don't mind any talking.. my friend was talking to me on skype.
Anyways, that would make sense, because I *think* the area where my thumb is, is where the ribbon for the screen is?

Try putting some pressure on the right edge of the screen.. theres 3 connections there.. 2 that clip in and one that slides in and fastens.. I can't remember which one provides power... hopefully not the one that slips in.

If its the cable.. I believe the one all the way to the right is power. The thick copper looking one. And it slides in.. I'm thinking it may not be cable related... maybe the LCD itself.... you can always try reseating the cable though.
Wait.. no that's exactly where the cable is.. my bad. I think its the cable
Sorry for my confusion. Almost positive the cable is loosening when you press it.

Well the screen will only stay on if the housing is removed.. works perfectly fine without it.. can press down as hard as I want and the screen works
FML
As far as i know, it is not a good thing,As with the Housing, the housing applies pressure to the phone..that's part of the reason my one x developed screen flex, on the right side...and it is issuing your problem as well. Or it is more likely the cable. Lucky i haven't had this problem yet :victory: . Hmm

well my phone is trashed, and I already took it apart and unscrewed the screws that say "void".. at least I can get my files off
gonna lock it, RUU it, and throw it in the trash I guess. HTC won't repair it, AT&T can go out of business for all I care.. and I'm not paying $100+ to warranty it..

I have the housing from the one x I took apart. You're welcome to it if you want to try a different housing. Its white though dunno if yours is black. Youd just have the pay the shipping which should be pretty cheap.

Hey guys. So I know a few things about this phone and have been taking pretty good care of it...only two drops from about three feet away from the ground. However, I dropped it in the toilet today. Now, I put it in rice for two hours and then got it out. I tried to turn the thing on, and it succeeded. The bad thing is, when I turned it on, before my boot animation ended, the screen flickered and turned off, and that's when I pulled the battery out of my phone and continued to leave it in rice as I type this right now. Is my phone busted permanently, or is there some hope?
You should have left it to dry like 24 hrs or more. You might have fried it. Let it sit at least over night and keep your fingers crossed.

I got a friend who dropped his phone in the water once. He did the rice trick but waited for more than 24 hours before attempting the first boot.
Now his phone works great except for battery issues. He has the Galaxy Nexus, so he can't change the battery easily. He'll just wait and buy a new phone someday. He just has to keep a charger near!
What about your phone? Anything new?
Well I tried this morning, the screen first started to go sort of whitish during the boot animation. Then, the screen returned to normal but remained unresponsive to my touch...I'm leaving it to dry more because I guessed that water was still near the screen, causing it to be unresponsive.
I've done this exact thing and the phone from it, mostly. I had constant signal issues afterwards and got rid of it.
The rice does seem to work, but.. you're supposed to take the battery out immediately and put it all in the rice to dry. 2 hours isn't going to cut it.
Ok guys...so my phone turns on and does function properly...problem is,,,the touchscreen doesnt work...should I put it back into the rice?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but, sounds like its toast.. you can try though. Continuing to take it out of the rice and turning it off/on wont help.

You should have taken it apart and left it in the rice for a couple days as soon as it got wet. Now it really doesn't stand much of a chance. You screwed up bro.
You can still try though.

Agh...well I didn't have anything like a screwdriver available. Oh well, time to get a new phone.
All was going well with me and my sensation, once my phone got dropped on hard surface and now splash of green dots (dead pixels?) are appearing on the screen.
Help me to sort it out, I'm not liking to see my sensation in this condition.

HAHA...!! That might be sarcastic reply from the suggester, dont try to do that and i didnt take any special care for that as it was not interfering in my work, and it vanished slowly like a wound would heal
As stupid as it may sound the freezer solution actually works ..just Google ..dead pixels freezer xda ...you'll get tons of successful results ..
Also I myself used this solution thrice on my device ..I got same dead pixels after it has fallen
If you got those dead pixels after a fall then I bet my RC status on this solution that it works
Now what you need to do is
1. Remove battery, sdcard and sim card from the phone
2. Tightly wrap a polythene bag or any other plastic bag such that not even a single drop of water can enter it ( I used rubber bands to keep the wrapped bag intact )
3. Keep the phone in freezer for 6-7 hours ( or for a night )
4. After that take out the phone ..leave the phone outside for 15-20 minutes to let it go to room temperature
5. Pop in necessary stuff and turn on the phone and see the magic
Note: after the above process even if a single dead pixel was left keep the phone back in freezer for another hour ..because if you start using the phone with that single dead pixels ..all the other dead pixels starts coming back during the time you use the phone

Worse? They were worst in my case.. Covered half of screen and I kept the phone in freezer for two nights.. To completely remove them.. And this means yes the process removed the dead pixels completely
Btw iirc I made a post with screenshots of screen with before freezer and after freezer conditions long ago

Tried the freezer technique, left the Mobile in freezer for 8 hrs.
Dead pixels are certainly reduced but not completely vanished.
So I put it back in again. :good:
BTW @ganeshp, How many times you did this to get rid of ur problem with pixels ?

Hi everyone . I have been using nexus from about a month now.
Yesterday my phone went completely mad .
I had just come back from washroom and tried unlocking the screen .
My phone didn't even register my touch . the emergency call started itself. Buttons got pressed on it own on my pin screen . it took me ten tries to even enter my own phone . then the home screen wasn't responding. The touch went off calibrated . I tried switching off and on . tried touching power off . airplane mode started and was switching on and off . I finally got it to power off . then restarted it again . no use. Same thing. Tried again. Same . and again. Same .
Finally with great difficulty logged back in my phone and did a factory reset. That too buttons kept pressing itself . I dunno why this happened. I haven't dropped it or anything. I lost all my data . even after the reset it doesn't feel.like it felt first .
Did this happen to anyone else ?? Please help .
Did you get it wet in the washroom?

What this guy said.
Turn it off and come back in a couple days. You should have done this in the first place but hey, woulda, coulda, shoulda, you didn't know. Hope it works for you otherwise it's RMA time.
Try putting it into a bowl of rice for a few nights. This generally pulls all of the moisture out. It definitely sounds like you got some moisture in there somehow.
I've also read somewhere that putting your phone in a bowl of metho will pull out moisture. But do not quote me on that haha.

I had a samsung nexus s and whenever there's moisture on the screen (mostly sweat), it randomly presses anything. So I wipe it off and leave it for a few minutes, then it's back to normal. Didn't happen yet on my N5 though.

I know there are many threads about this but some didn't cover my questions and they don't say what to do when you have done things you aren't supposed to do.
So I dropped it in the toilet, I don't even know how but as soon as I did I took it straight out, dried it with a towel and TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND CHARGE IT. I later found out that I shouldn't have done these things. Anyway afterwards I put it in a container of rice with the lid shut. It seems to be much drier now but still isn't working, however the computer makes a sound when I plug it in. I then went and took the back cover off and saw one of the wires (on the right side) seemed to have a busted resistor, I was wondering if that was the problem and it could be fixed?
P.S. When I charge it all I get is a red light.
I'm from Australia so country related help would be great.
UPDATE: I just plugged it into the computer again and the screen seemed to light up a bit for about 30 seconds and the phone vibrates when I hold the power button.
UPDATE 2: I can hear noises like the screenshot noise and the volume up and down noise.
You forget tot wipe the sh!t of. What about the rice? Stil beable to eat it? Or taste it like sh!t? Wrong forum btw.

Sorry about the wrong section I didn't realize that there was a troubleshooting one there. Please use proper English next time.
I am getting notifications and the notification LED is working but the screen just lights up without anything on it.
Keep it a few more days in the rice. I hope you didn't fried it. Do not try to charge or connect to pc yet, don't power on for some time. After 2 or 3 days on rice, try to start it up. If it vibrates but not starting you need to wait some more time on rice or just go to a repair shop. Don't try to charge the damn thing !!!
I had to keep my x10i about 7 days on rice, I almost abandoned it, but it's working just fine now.
God luck.

turn off and leave to dry for at least 3 days before turning on again.
If you follow this rule, you'll have luck in 80% of the cases.

I know but seeing as I already broke that rule, is there much hope with this?
Should be completely covered in rice. Vertical positioning is recommended, keeping about 2 or 3 centimeters from the botom of the jar ( or bag or whatever ). Shake it slowly every day then put it back on rice. I have no idea if it will work or not, even without charging it, it's about how much water got inside.

Ok, thanks, I don't think very much water got inside, when I opened it there was just a bit on the back cover and some condensation on the front-facing camera.
I hope you get lucky. I didn't disassemble mine completely, just the back cover, battery, sim and SD card, but it wasn't a nexus.

Search for threads about how to clean the board with alcohol so it doesn't corode.
More than likely you're out of luck cause you turned it on and even plugged it in directly after. It's likely shorted out now.

It seems like everything but the screen is working. As I said it seems like a resistor blew, couldn't I just replace that little cable?

I had to leave my sons iPod touch in rice for two weeks before it finally fired up and started working as normal (even after I charged it and switched it on as soon as it hit wet)

I thought it was also important that you take out the batteries
