[Q] Green lines through Camera. Broken?

Hey guys,
I've had my Sensation for a couple weeks now and this weird issue just popped up. The Camera seems to have some green lines running through it. These lines appear on any Camera app (Panorama Beta, Camera 360, etc.)...
Restarting the phone fixes it... But only for an hour or so before it just comes back. Is this some sort of hardware failure? Anyone else experienced this before?

That picture was taken with a Galaxy S2... The irony.

The fact it goes away on a reboot suggests to me it's more likely to be a software issue of some sort, although I wouldn't completely rule out hardware.
Have you performed a factory reset?

I had the same problem. Called tmobile and they had me do a master reset. This fixed the problem. For how long though?

Yeah, I imagine a reset will fix it.
But, what's the point? I might as well get them to replace the entire phone. Both scenarios result in me having to start from scratch again. At least I can be assured it wouldn't happen again if I get it replaced.

I had the same issue as you. No need for master reset . Just pull the battery for about a minute and that will work. I never had that issue happen to me again

“Green Lines” and “Distorted Widgets”
I had the very exact problem with my phone as well. My problems first started with the distorted widgets and then about 10 days later, my camera started showing the green lines. -->Please see pictures <--
I went back to the T-Mobile store and showed them these “Green Lines” and they were kind enough to replace my phone for me. I've had my phone for a little more than 15 days and usually TMO will not validate returns past this point. I WOULD HAVE BEEN FURIOUS! Anywho, I resolved it by taking it back and they replaced it. Hope this helps anyone out having the same prob.
Still, I'd like to know what the cause of this is since it seems to be happening on more than just a couple of phones.
With the “Green Lines” and the “Distorted Widgets” problems, I’m beginning to wonder if these issues are related to one of the two LCD manufactures.
“It has been confirmed that the Sensation has two different LCD panels. One made by Acer (AUO) and one made by sharp.”
It would be interesting to find out if all the problems are occurring on either the Sharp or the AUO displays? I can’t confirm which one I had since I returned the phone already, but if any of you still have your phone with the “Green Lines” or “Distorted Widgets”, try finding out which of the two companies makes your screen on the Sensation 4G and compare the results with others. You can find out to d othis in the link above.

AT&T Software Update Ruined my One-X!!

K, let me start out saying this phone is nothing but pure evil. I have gone through 4 since I got my first on June 9th. 1 has been my fault.
With my latest one, I got my replacement, synced all my apps, and did the software update. When it rebooted I got a symbol that had a phone with a red triangle with the exclamation point in it. Then all of my screen animations stopped working and all I got was an illuminated black screen. I restarted it maybe 5 times and all I had was the initial HTC screen with the brown bar that keeps refilling, then the screen goes black. I don't understand what happened because I had updated my previous One-X and it was fine (save for the Wi-fi problem). I didn't install any new apps either. Any help or is it unfixable?

If it's a new replacement and you haven't done anything else other than what you mentioned here, take it back and get a new one because it looks like it got hosed during the update process.

No need to return it, the same exact thing happened to my wife's phone and after ordering a replacement over the weekend, I found a fix. Go to HTC's website and download the newest update. You have to manually install the update. You also have to download HTC Sync manager. The file is in the area of 560MB, and takes 10-15 minutes to update on your phone. The tricky part is since you can't see the screen you have to power down by holding the power button for 10 seconds. If it's like my wife's phone, you will see the white HTC screen and hear the AT&T chime but the screen is black, right? It may take a few tries for the program to recognize your phone as it did mine, but once it does, it re-writes everything on the phone. Also doing this method unforunately you lose everything. Let me know how this works out for you. Here is the direct link to the software upgrade.

You can download the RUU from HTC's website and run it.

Other than that, take it back.

Strange Touchscreen behaviour

Suddenly (well, I had just installed WifiKeyboard when this happened to me, but I don't think it's relevant) my touchscreen develop a dead zone. Just above hardware buttons. If i touch this zone, my phones thinks I'm pressing with one thinger above this zone and with another thinger below it. Just like the picture shows.

}
(Note that it's a complete symmetrical dead zone. It's a perfect rectangle)
It's strange. I was on Codename 4.1 JellyBean. I didn't change anything, (I descarted that this might be a Rom problem, I put back the stock rom and the problem persists). I don't rember any serious smash in the last few days. I had already changed the touchscreen once, because I broke it and the jerk that replaced the screen glued it terribly bad so the screen is a little bit loose (i think that maybe something entered through this space and ****ed the screen, but i don't know)
Also read someguys talking about chep chargers that might broke the touchscreen or something like this ( I recently used a blackberry's charger for a day) and that It might be something with the drivers of the touchscreen.
I had no idea.
Any clue?

Sorry!

Did you restart your phone?
If that doesn't help, do a factory reset.

Then it's broken.
It's not the software, then it must be the hardware.
Last suggestion: Turn off the phone, take out the battery and touch the pins where the battery goes. Put the battery back in, turn on your phone and see if it works. I've heard of static electricity giving all sorts of problems. Grounding the phone (touching the wiring) might do the trick.

I'm sorry you paid 80 dollars for your touchscreen? What a ripoff... I got mine off ebay for around 40...38 to be more precise. 80 is way too much for an SL.

[Q] Capacitive button light not working..fixable?

Hey guys, I was wondering what my options are at this point. One of the lights has stopped working...the button still works though. Will Costco/ATT replace the phone? I'm almost positive they will but does anyone know how long they take? I cant be without a phone for more than a day.

Yes they will replace it. This was seen on some of the first ones that came out. Just ask if they will just trade you a new one on the spot and make sure they let you turn it on to check for any other hardware defects.
Edit: this is assuming your hardware warranty is intact

Yes it is. Thanks! But I doubt they will give me a NEW one. Its been over 3 months.

Same thing happened to my AT&T HOX, It was working normaly then suddenly the recent apps light stopped, the button works perfectly tho...
I did factory reset, cache and davlink cache erase, changed rom and tried almost everything, the light started working again but dimmer, not as bright as home or back...
Today the home key backlight stopped working too (its like a virus spreading) and i got them to work after every reebot and when I answer a call but again, both backlights are dimmer than the original...
What did they say? could you replace the phone? Im still thinking its a software issue rather than hardware... maybe Im wrong!
Please if you find someway to fix it let me know! I will do so too!
Good luck!

No it was a hardware issue. Well at least that's what Costco said. I also factory resetted RUU'd and all that . They are amazing! After 90 days they still gave me a new one no questions asked!
EDIT: If your out of warranty (It hasn't been a year since the phone came out so that's not even possible but oh well) you can take the back off the phone and press the LED panel under the buttons down firmly and they start working again! I tried this on my new one (I know..i'm stupid )

blank screen

hey guys,
any of you had an issue with the screen going blank and never coming back on until the watch is rebooted? ( I have ambient screen on)
everything is still functioning, phone detects it as connected, i get vibration for notifications and can even get screenshots from the watch using the android wear app.
using stock watchfaces, not installed anything yet, only setup android pay, since i only intend to use for notifications and android pay.
this is really frustrating, it's happened 4 times within the first 24 hours...

if you can't touch and wake the device, you may need to send it for RMA. Do not waste time in testing, even it is a software issue. Let them fix it for you or simply replace it.

thanks, yeah that's what I was thinking too. just wondering if this was a common issue.
I'm based in hk too lol, just past the 7 day direct exchange period so i guess i'll just have to wait for a repair.

It is acceptable if the watch is loaded with many software. But not normal if it is freshly setup. You may try the official rom here and see if it is okay.

I have this problem now.
Screen sometimes starts working at random for a short while but goes back to blurry.

Mine also goes blank occasionally and only reboot helps, but it's so random, and maybe once a week? so I won't even bother sending for warranty because they might send it back saying that it's not happening to them.
Yesterday it happened while I was tracking my workout so that's a bummer but happily I was able to continue after reboot.
p.s.
I'm using always on display.
