I believe the quality control for these devices to be very low. Anyone who received a deffective device? I realized mine was deffective on the 40th day, T-Mobile replaced it with a refurbished one and it was deffective as well, so I called the executive office and they gave me $300 credit to my account. There was a signifficant gap between the lcd and the metal frame at the lower right corner, I could see metal parts through it if looking from very close.
My screen went out last week had the phone for 3 months.

How exactly the screen went out ?
More info will be appreciated cuz I aint got a single problem.
Started flickering purple and just turned off.. Still had leds and sounds so the phone was on with no display. Sometimes I'd get it to reset and the edge would just have a purple line stay on for bout 5 seconds and turn right back off.. I sent it to Samsung for warranty.

Mine did that too last week. Only had the phone for 2 months. When the battery dropped below 38% the screen would start to flicker. After the flickering it would soon go to black screen. Sound would still work. Just no screen. Got a new phone out of warranty from t-mobile. Received it but now I noticed a dead pixel on display. Have to go back to t-mobile to see if I can get yet another replacement phone.

There is no reason these phones should be defected at all.

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.

Nope, that's all you.
On an other hand, my phone is only getting worst every morning I wake up.

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.

My phone has turned almost completely black from a reason unknown. Yesterday it started with a blue/purple mark on the left side of the phone an slowly spread around and is all but completely black this morning. Does anyone know what caused this. A manufacturer defect or putting too much pressure on the screen?
Sounds very similar with what happened to my sister's s3, the screen just took a crap. It did the same thing you're describing except it started at the top and worked its way down. Had to be sent to Samsung and got it back in 2 weeks, but was under warranty.

I took mine to verizon and they said it was probably caused from putting too much pressure on the screen. I don't know if i want to take the chance because they charge you for the phone if they suspect it to be from damage.
My N7 4.4.2 Not Rooted has been playing up lately. For the 2nd time in 3 days, I picked it up and it wouldnt respond. I could hear the screenshot being taken so the phone was on but the screen was black. It vibrates after using the power button and it finally boots up again. The phone has been perfect for about a month and this error only started recently.

Do a factory reset. Keep in mind that this will wipe your internal storage so be sure to back up and data, photos, etc. before hand. If that doesn't fix it then flash the factory image over. As to how, refer to this thread.
Your problem should be fixed after the Factory Reset though. Good Luck!
Thanks. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but oh well. Is there a cause for this?

Were are talking about the N5 right?. I had this issue with my G2X a couple years ago. It turns out that after I took it apart the flex cable looked like at had been torn a tad bit. This sounds like a flex cable problem. Software could be the issue and a factory reset may help. However in my experience that's usually a flex cable or pop connection. Send it in if the reset does not work. Don't bother trying to do this yourself. It may be the front panel flex cable. Or the pop connection of the main board. When these cables are made, they are literally thrown into barrels and sent to The front panel assembly line. So chances are. One of these flex cables suffered some damage. Same goes with the tiny connection on the main board. These tiny pieces are put on one by one. I think robots do it. The device turned on for their tests. But the long run? ...Well you get the point.

Im just facotry resetting my phone right now, i'll post later the results after a few days of testing
Well? did the factory reset work? I have this issue and it's driving me nuts!!!! I read somewhere that squeezing the case helps, and indeed this seems to work something, to it looks like hardware issue to me
black screen nexus 5
I was totally desperate with this random black screen. I tried everything including change of flex cable and also screen, but the same random black screen
I changed the 2 years old battery with a new one and.... ooff... this resolved my problem .no black screen anymore
I hope that, with this solution, I give You another direction of thinking about what is causing this annoying problem
My screen is now black and blank , showing nothing , once I start my device I can feel the vibration , and boots up normally but with no screen , beside the lower left corner starts to get warm , I need any help available, and I need to know what's the main problem and how to fix it or is there any way to fix it?
Something else at the beginning of this problem there was a bright white light at the same lower left corner of the screen now is e gone

I have a similar problem with mine - the screen is gets really dull intermitently. When the screen is dull, I have to set brightness to the max to see anything. So I now have brightness set to max all the time which drains battery - I also notice the phone getting warm towards the bottom as well.
And now my device refuses to start at all . Today I will send it to repair and we how things will go

So have any of you had a problem with the M8 switching into dock mode randomly?
Mine has been doing this, first time it happend it only got stuck in dock mode for an hour or so. I charged the phone and it went away.
Then low and behold dock mode comes back with vengeance, and when it changes to dock mode it turns on the speakerphone. Which on the M8 we all know is wicked f'ing loud when you have it up to your ear.
So i was on the phone, dock mode kicks in, turns of the speaker, blows up my ear, and i drop my phone. The screen shattered into about 100 pieces. It was in a dot view case. This happened today.
I called verizon yesterday about the dock mode issue and they wanted me to do updates on the phone, when it was obviously a hardware issue. In order to replace it they said to bring it to the store. The verizon store doesnt open till 10am, seems weird they open so late. So i went to work, had to make a call then the above happened.
Verizon nor HTC will replace the phone because of the broken screen. I'm trying to argue this would have never happened if this phone didnt potentially blow out my ear drum.
What do you guys think? Any advice?

since april 9 over 6 mo. HTC says they will fix the dock mode issue, but will give a price quote for the screen.
Depending on how much HTC charges I'll probably go that route

Htc had the screen replacement for free as a perk on the m8. In setup was a section about on last screen. HTC advantage I believe.

I think that was only for the first 6 months they would replace it free.
