My Phone Is GOING CRAZY HELP!!

So after updating to a couple WM6 ROMS and being happy, my phone starts to act weird, my screen starts to turn white at random times and i have to keep the keyboard slid out slightly to keep the screen from going white. Then after a while it changes again, and now my screen always goes white until i slide the keyboard in and out a couple of times and then slide it back in, but it will only stay normal for a little and my screen will go white again. In hopes to fix this i switched back to my official T-Mobile 2.26 ROM but i am still having the same problem. Can someone please help me fix this, my phone is almost at the brink of not working and i would have to wait about half a year before i can get a new one. Any help will be appreciated.

are you overclocking at all when you are experiencing the problem???
I have heard that overclocking to too high of a speed will cause the phone to go to a white screen..
just a thought

also, if you could, please list all third party apps and the current ROM you are running
.:Nstefanelli:.

Well i was overclocking to 260 using battery status, but i dont do that anymore,i am currently running the T-Mobile 2.26 official ROM, and i have these programs installed:
Wm5torage
Fizz Weather 2
TCPMP 0.81
Pocketdict

If you need some more info you can look at my signature too.

how do u do that ?

killerkhatiby009, you can check if it is a hardware problem by performing a remote control (PC controlling PPC, google for it) and start messing with your phone, see if the PC gives you the same problem.
IF the PC gives a good reading (e.g. no white screen) while the PPC gives you a white face, then it is probably the screen problem (not sure what).
IF both the PC and PPC gives you the white face, it is then either software error (hopefully so), OR internal harware error (e.g you've burned your microprocessor?).

Ok thanks for the help, ill go and try that ppc remote controll thing and report back.

Ok after testing it the PC comes up fine while the Pocket PC comes up white.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me, which may be a result of your constant overclocking. It may also be due to a bad switch in the keyboard slider.
You might want to contact your provider and see if the phone is still under warranty and/or if you can get a replacement.

Well my phone is no longer under warrenty, does anyone know of a way to fix my phone or get a replacement?

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to upgrade my IPL please ?

found my answer. Thanks anyway

I have the EXACT same problem
Ignore my signature - I downgraded back to the latest stock T-Mobile ROM. I see the same problem no matter what ROM I am running.
It is EXACTLY the same as you describe here. I can usually make it stop by pressing the sides together (holding the screen and keyboard slider tighly closed). Once it stops if I set it down and don't touch it it will work fine.
Also when I reboot the splash screen never has the problem - the problem starts as soon as WM boots.
So what did you have to do? Buy a new one? Or were you able to get service or an exchange?
It seems to be the mechanics of the display connector that are causing this. I looked in the service manual and it shows a stiff flat flex-cable connecting the keyboard to the screen, and it seems to me that this cable is the problem - either it is damaged or it is not fully seated on one end or the other.
I considered trying to dissassemble it and clean/reset connecters - for about a nanosecond. But it looks way too fragile and full of hidden little plastic hooks that will break off if you don't release each one in exactly the right way and then it will never go back together again.

[HTC s710] Display turns off all the time

Hi to all!
I have a strange problem with my HTC s710.
I bought it a month ago and it worked fine for a while, then it started to shutdown the display. Then it appears again, and the it turns off... it continues to work, but you can see nothing because the display turns off.
It's impossibile to use it. The HTC customer care sended back my phone after having upgraded the software but the problem is still here.
They wrote: "upgraded software and no problems found" but it's not really true.
I can't use the phone because the display turns off while i'm using it...
i tried to hard reset it several time without results.
Please, help me...

I would take it apart, clean the contacts and make sure it is seated properly. Does it happen when you're not using the device? Say if it's sitting on the table will the display flicker?

Unfortunately this is a very common problem with the S710... Since so many people are experiencing this issue with their phones even after hard resetting & changing roms I strongly believe it's a hardware issue.

It's not s710 only, even the microsoft emulator also have the problem

Look in the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power The Dword-key "Display". It sets the seconds for display timout. It overrides every other setting!

It happens while i'm using the phone...
for example, if i'm writing an sms, it suddenly turns off the display... then i have to wait for a while and the it appears again... and this go on for all the time...

same problem to me.... dunno what the source of the problem is
guess gonna have to take it back and ask for refund

i've already send it back to the HTC customer care and they said there is nothing to do because it works fine... (oh my god!)
I think it's an hardware problem...

Display blackout
I got the same problem too, did rom upgrades but no success, it s**ks
Its an intermittent fault.
Should someone identify the problem pls let me know !!

This is almost sure a connection problem of the Flex-cable between upper and lower part of the device. Search related threads here or on MoDaCo.

s710 display issues
Hi Guys,
This is not a LCD or flex issue, neither is it a connection issue.
The actual fault is the display driver on the main board, it seems to be an intermittant fault.
please post your findings on this topic....

bro am also havin the same problem but they say it seems to replace the board which costs 9k... hw can i fix this problem pls help me i bought this stuff for 17 k...

What makes you so sure it is not HW related? The only thing that really changes over time is the HW (as you slide in/out the keyboard, move the device etc.pp) - SW stays as it is and if even ROM reload does not fix it, well I feel rather sure it is HW.
Anyway, hunting intermittent faults is hard to do and you may construct a causality from just coincident events - no fun nailing this down.

any solution for my problem..?

I have had so many power related issues so far. Sometimes it is the battery, sometimes it is the charging connector, sometimes LCD and sometimes even the whole circuit board.
When i had the same problem relating to intermittent off displays, I got it repaired in the warranty and they had to change the main board. I dont think there is any other solution to your problem!

Display failure
The failure of the screen is not the problem on my Vox. My screen always jumps back to the Home screen. Even while writing an SMS or scrolling in the application menu. Is there a possibility that there ever comes a Dutch version for my Vox?

It happens to me also. I tried to open the device, take everything apart then mount everything back. The problem stays. I tried hard rest, ROM flashing, soft reset, changing settings etc etc etc... The problem is still here.
Then, I left the mobile without using it for 6 month or so. I am using it again and the problem doesn't happen so often but still happens. Any news on this matter?

I solved this problem because my device was still under warranty: I had to get back it to HTC four times before to fix it.
They changed me three motherboard and finally it seems to work fine...

And what is supposed to happen after that? Also, I guess we have to open again the phone to find this switch because I can't see any switch otherwise. Can you please post a picture of it?

[Q] Display Pixel Noise

I got this display issue before I disassembled my Senation XE. It had a broken touchscreen, but the display worked. But while I was waiting for a new touchscreen the error occurred. It still boots and the automatic screen brightness is still working but I even don't see the green HTC logo but only this screen
Before I used the RUU (to see, if the root was not the issue) it was unlocked with S-Off.
Is it a failure of the display or of the logic board?

Hello mr B, see those videos:
1) you can fix the display with static staff in engineering(soldering iron etc).
But don't do that after knowing all the real problem, mabye is some of those connectors in the modules. Mabye some of universal serial or paralel lines. For example is gived in this video:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
I mean in hardware/backend motherboard/ all the modules must be checked out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) you can fix this problem with dynamic/software/ all those kind of frontal developing:
There's a pixel bug/bud/noise. You can fix this with a software installed right in the pc crossplatforming by an usb cable between the smartphone: The soft for example is named "fix pixel noise" ("Расмагнетизирование") or to ind the real video source of the component compound of the VGA module. Is checking where is the real point or pixel broked inside captured of the screen. This pixel is making thenoise as result the burning process of the screen, inside this pixel it's working like a LED diode tape for christmas(the resistence of the pixel is stuck) so the image cannot work fine. Affter 2 or 3 second the Amoled Screen is black, there is no voltage or amperaje. Anyway when you buy something first verify. In case if you fix with the software "Fix pixel noise" or broked resitence the screen may be adjusted but with some of errors: a) the sensors or the buttons won't work as ussaly, I mean you block the bad pixel, and unblocking the others pixel. This circuit of the screen will work fine, but U will use this screen only for videos. The rest of the package installed for example office, photoshooting, gaming, calculating, social website, editing videos will not work good. Will appear a lot of errors. The screen is not plug/playlable. Link in the description bellow:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the conclusion:
------------------
You will use the screen after Fixing pixel noise just for watching video, the touchscreen won't work.

[Q] Screen in colorful snow mode. No damage, I broke glass in September.

First I would ask someone who can do it to change my name to Paradox1_CRO.
Autofill did it! (e-mail = username)
Back on my case;
name of the video:
Nexus 5 Screen....bug?!
can't put link, because I'm new.
c/p description
My N5 was bought on 31.8.2014.
I broke my screen on 3.9.2014. (fell asleep with him in bed)
Just glass broke, nothing more. Everything was ok until today.
Full stock, updated on 5.1.1.
The problem first appeared today, on 14.06.2014. about 11:25 in morning. He was in my pocket and I was playing Belote, on table in the shade. I went on whatsapp and then N5 started to be very slow ~3s from typing password to whatsapp, then I reset him. The same scene has happen before this video. I can hear screenshot sound, but still got black screen. Also those screenshots are saved (I have few of them on my HDD, look a like normal screenshots of start screen).
Also, if I don't restart N5, he stays in same position for ~25mins.
I left him for 25mins and still same thing. N5 stays cold all the time.
So;
what is this?
How bad is it?
What should I do?
When connected to PC, PC sees like usual. :good:
Yes, I know my camera is.... piece of crap, but it does record, somehow...
EDIT:
To find video, go on YT and set the filter on today!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/n5-broken-t3129641/post61219230

It's not that video but it's same thing.
Oh, nice news for me!
I just hope it will end up good for me too, because I broke my screen 3 days after I buy it.
Warranty is questionable :crying:
As soon as I find out the newsm,
I will infom you.
It's just strange that only now I got error. Like 10 monts later....

Black screen phone - no usb debug - need to find associated email

Hi guys,
i have a crappy problem with my mother-in-law's phone (please abstein from jokes )
So she put her p8 lite (the model is not relevant) in the washing mashine, turned on. She realized pretty soon what she did and managed to take it out.
Having no experience in these things, she saw that it was still on (with bubbles of water under the glass but with the screen still on) and she panicked.
Now she gave it to me: the screen is all black but the phone works: i can take pictures with the volume shortcuts and see the memory (and successfully copy files).
Here's the problem: she doesn't remember her gmail associate account and usb debug was not on.
Is there a way i can find this out? All her contacts are there, plus whatsapp and everything else.
I thought about fastbooting it but without any screen its very difficult to do so...
Thanks a lot!
