Srry title is supposed to say Help with HTC Touch Pro for sprint....it Woke up with a bad case of stupidity
So i wake up 2day and i find that my Sprint Htc Touch Pro's screen is like jumping around like crazy...the touch screen still works and all but it moves around non stop. i can still make out where lets say the all the button are so i can still find my way around the phone but its sooooo annoying. so i pressed the restart button on the botton hoping it would fix it and when is turns back on it just goes 2 a blue screen. so i pressed the button again and now a green screen which soon turns white. pressed again and not its a black screen with the logo Touch pro on the bottom and the red little numbers and letter on the top...(the Touch Pro logo is usually in the middle and the Numbers and letters on the bottom....) so it finally loads up and the screen is still messed up. so i went crazy, i got home from school and i saved all my contacts but coping the Pim file to my 1gb memory card and did the clear storage to once again hopefully fix everything. well it didnt but atleast i still hav my contacts. ha ha...(im laughing so that i dont cry) everything still work though, i can send txt, talk on the phone, and do everything else....but cant see anything cuz he screen is jumping around. and no im not an imbecile and messed up on the modding and messed the phone up...or else it would done this a looong time ago.... so any help will b soooooo helpful. oh and i took out the battery and put it back in the still doesnt fix anything. sometimes the screen stays blue and doesnt do anything...*tear falls on keyboard* lol
have you tried a hard reset?
i did...i went into clear storage and did the whole 1234 and then press yes. didnt do anything beside erase everything and then go back 2 crazy jumping screen....
Any fixes?
Black_Yoshi,
I was wondering if you found any solutions to your "screen jumpiness". I have got the same problem happening on my Touch Pro. Just started happening acouple days ago. Cant put a finger on what caused it, sprint will probably say water damage. I have the TEP except its my 3rd one in 12 months so they will cancel the program..
Any luck? Thanks
Flickering
YOur display is most likely going out. That started happening to my touch pro and with in three days the screen just went black so i took it the the sprint store and they change the screen display
Hey guys,
I am going crazy here, searching forums did not help me at all.
The lower section of the screen keeps flicking, and not always, what do i mean by flicking, its like the screen at the lower section keeps doing like a strange low refresh rate, and has an old imprint of some old menus. Happens especially when there is the color of gray.
Made a screenshot of the phone, no problems, there, so its not a software rendering problem, might be a drivers problem though, or a defec tin the screen itself.
Frequency is high but not always, and am unable to determine when does that happen exactly. going crazy here, is this a defect? or all touch pro's have this?
Exact explanation summary:
1CM from the bottom of the LCD sometimes flickers as if that 1CM is having an extremely low refresh rate. Mostly happens when there is light gray, but not necessarily, and a soft reset for the phone does not remove it. It happens on random!
Hey,
Yeah it happens to me too! You don't need to do a soft reset, it actually fades away if you watch it closely! I don't know what it is either, and yes it is random as you have stated! I initially thought it was an application I installed as it only started happening after that, so I did a full hard reset and its still happening! Not sure what or how, but hoping next firmware version stops it!
Cheers,
mpls-te
As it happens, that's exactly why I've logged on here today! Any ideas whta the cause might be?
OK, good to see that others have this, so am not alone here, experts here, any ideas? other touch pro users, can you please leave your statements?
I hope its a driver issue.
But from what i noticed, its like, the screen is OFF, as in blank and no back light, but somehow, the application working on the screen before you turned off the device is somehow printing something on the LCD, something that we don't see, and when we actually start the phone and its back light, that OFF LINE imprint pops on screen. Something like that.
Its completely illogical, but dunno, can't find any sense here and am going crazy
Same thing happened to me and a few others as well.
See my thread here.
What rom is everyone using?
I've noticed a similar issue with mine, except rather than something software it seems like it's the backlight for the bottom 1cm of the screen flickering slightly. I don't see any weird pixels or inappropriate screen information, just a dimming/high speed flickering of the backlight in that same regionas yours. It comes and goes. Sometimes weeks without it, then maybe 3 times in a day for a minute or two at a time. Everything else works fine and whatever screen I go to displays fine.
I'm assuming it's a hardware problem with the LED(s) that light up the bottom portion of the screen, and I'm going to use it as an excuse to get a warranty replacement somewhere near the end of the warranty when the phone's getting a little old and worn.

Lool, evil, lets just hope that this problem DOES occur when you go to their shop for your replacement
Good idea though, might do the same thing except that i have to travel abroad to where i got the phone from to actually get the warranty working. Don't forget to re-enable stock SPL and stock ROM
It happens frequently enough I'll be able to get it on video just in case they need proof, but typically they just exchange by mail.
I just posted in another thread about this issue. I have run into the same thing a few times. The bottom portion of the screen flickers, and when i do things that have a dark gray or black screen I can see a ghost image of the left and right soft keys from my TFL3D home screen. It seems to be most noticeable when the screen brightness is set to max. To get it to go away I usually do a few soft resets, and then, if needed, i will turn off the phone and take the battery out for a while. I have never tried waiting it out to see if it will just go away on its own.

I see that everyone posting in this thread,that has their signature filled in, is using the Energy ROM. I find that very interesting.
i am having the same problems, sometimes touchflo3d will flicker at the bottom, near the edges. I also get text that can be read through other screens. Like on pocketshield i can see the left and right softkey words still at the bottom. its so odd !
P.S im on energyrom
I'm on NATF v2.2, not an energy rom. But then again, mine looks more like a hardware issue, as I've never seen any ghost images of text or softkeys, just flickering.
can somebody post screens?
maybe the same problem here...
hardreset, other roms > problem still there:-(
Same problem here and I am using stock rom!
here are 3 screens of my xda diamond pro, using latest official o2 rom and newest romeOS eng
hope you can see this prob?! same like yours?

Well, i doubt EnergyROM has anything to do with that problem, since my Stock ROMz had same problem, never got fixed with any updates HTC used to release. MAYBE some Cooked ROMs out there have this solved, if any, please let us know And my problem is nothing close to screenshots above :S

Dude, those photos are awful, after seeing them am happy with my phone flickering, its nothing close to this.
You see, in your photos, all three of em, you some kind of shadow effect, where text of a button for example has that same text beneath it 3x6mm, that is not my case at all.
My case is as follows, IF i am on the home screen for example all looks ok, except that the bottom 1CM of the screen is flickering. If i go to another window, either a total black one or any other screen, i would still see a ghost of the old home screen, for example, and only at the bottom 1CM.
Will post photos once i get my cam back. Cheers
similar issue
my issue is kinda similar, instead of getting the bottom 1cm or so discoloration or stuck pixels, I get streaks of red or blue on my screen. I have had this happen on each version of NATF I have tried, but don't remember it happening on the stock version (which I am tempted to try again to see if that's the issue).
Could this be a driver issue?
mind is even worse than all you guys, the touch screnn dose not response, and i have the energy rom on it, before it goes wrong. it just suddenly dose not response, than i send it to HTC, they ask for 425.00 for fix.... I will just send this to Asia and get some one to fix it.
But I hope before i send it out, some one can help me here.... anyway can fix it easy!!!!
Hi all, i have the same problem, here's another topic about it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447891&page=2
I have read this forum and many other internet sites until mys eyes cross!
I have Sprint HTC Touch Pro2 running winmo 6.5. duelboot android.
I have flashed many times and the problem isnt fixing itself.
Its like when my backlight goes to sleep I cant wake it up. I can still here the
phone ring and answer it.. just cant see anything after it has gone to sleep.
In Android i dont have this problem..
Anyone know where the registry is to do some editing??
Your help would be so APPRECIATED!!
Thanks in Advance.. Tammy

I Have the same issue. I Recently tried to flash back to 6.5, and somehow it all went wrong and i got the white screen of death. i could get to the boot loader(tri color) screen but it would just go right back to that White back ground with Green letters 'htc'. Now I finally found the post that helped getting to that tricolor screen then loading rom. IT WORKED! then i tried the sleep/ pwr button and sure enough it STILL WON'T WAKE!!!! Seems like the only answer is to break down and get the droidX. but i need windows for a 3rd party program i use....so i might just stick to the lil slide fone i have as a back up...
I just leave the light on 30% if Im expecting any txts or calls, when Im not I just turn the light out I can still hear incoming calls and if I hear a couple txt I pull the battery and stick it back in so that I can see the screen again.. its all I can do for now.
Im amazed with so many smart folks here I havent had anyone offer any fix's yet??
I have been hoping for easy registry fix.
Good Luck and please let me know if you get any help with yours??
yes, its becoming a problem. pulling out the battery to get the screen is more damage than good
sometimes when im typing away in a message on my phone, some parts of the phone turn into resistant areas making me press hard on my phone for a touch response to occur...so the phone turns from a capacitive touch screen, to a resistant one that requires a considerable amount of pressure from my fingers. Why!!! is this because of a rom im using? when i click the sleep button on and off the screen returns to normal, but this is so frustrating when im attempting to type long messages. any answers? thanks!!!
I had that issue once.. I tried calibrating the screen but it didnt help so I did a battery pull and it went back to normal.. Havent had the problem since then but im scared itll show its face again..
hah yeaa aafter posting this i havent had the problem, lol lets hope it doesnt come back!
OP are you using a gingerbread rom? it's a VERY VERY common/known issue in all gingerbread roms from gingerbeast to ARHD. I don't know if there's a fix in the works or if anyone cares to make one but i think everyone just flashes teh screen on/off to get around it.
Hello everyone, I have a problem with the screen, a long time ago a printer tonner hit my screen, it's started to show wrong resolution (no hd) so I send it to change the part that has the problem. They change it and the screen never light up, the phone turn on, the touch screen work perfectly, the sound, all the buttoms but the screen it's black... Only I can see it with airdroid... Someno know what it's happening?. Obviously they doens't charge me the work. I'm from Argentina and the model is C2105, I send the phone to my brother in Spain and there couldn't make it work.
Never gave me an answer

Maybe no one here had any solution for this issue, because it is a hardware problem, so no one can help in software manner.
Maybe but this thread it's for all the problems I think.
