I got a serious problem with my mda vario here.
sometimes, 7 out of 10 times, when i get a call the screen gets totally corrupted and jumbled like on the picture in the attachment. i can only see black vertical lines on a white screen. in order to make the screen work properly i have to turn the phone off/on (stand-by mode) then.
does anybody know where the problem is?
i have to confess, that the phone slipped out of my hands and fell on the ground 3 times so far.
thanks
well, you say youve dropped it 3 times already? is it possible that something may be loose inside? is there cosmetic damages from dropping?
yes, there are some scratches on it. i don't really think that something is loose or broken, because the screen gets only on icoming calls corrupted.
so i don't think that it is due to a loose contact or something like that...
I have exactly the same problem. I personally think it is unlikely that dropping the phone has caused it as it corrects when you cycle the power button. Any help on this from other forum member would be much appreciated.

Any resoluation this? I have the exact same problem!!
Oh dear ... somethings in the air...
mine's got it also. first time i saw it was a couple of days ago. only happens with the alarm clock in the morning :?
My phone is crap like hell... gotta hard reset and reconfig the damn thing. acting up lately...
(ps... AFAIK i barely dropped the phone... maybe 1 or 2 times. nothing more)
I have the same problem
I have read the service manual of wizard and said:
Unusual Vertical / Horizontal lines or partial display
(1) Check the connection of LCM FPC whether is properly connected. (Is a conector between motherboard and LCD)
(2) Try with another LCM. (LCM=LCD Screen)
(3) Try with another Main Board.
(4) Replace LCM if necessary
(5) Replace Main Board if necessary.
(6) Once the defective part has been identified, verify it again with the defective part whether the
symptom could be duplicated
Any sugestion?
Okay..
so far, i have installed Molski 2.26 rom (30meg free version) and upgrade the radio rom form 2.25 to 2.47.
I have not had another occurance of this so far.
Maybe a fluke.
Screen fixes when pressure applied to bottom of the screen
Guys,
I now have to keep my finger pressed hard against the bottom of the lcd unit to get the screen to display to work properly. it is under warranty with Imate but they want me to send it to Abu Dhabi for repair. I'm in Canada and concerned that I may not get it back.
So has anybody else identified this as being a loose connection rather that a real hard fault. Also has anybody fixed their unit by dismantling and reseating the connections.
Finally has anybody used the Imate repair service and was it timely & reliable?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Mick
This is a real hard fault.. had it with my mini s, took it into the shop, it was away 2 weeks... and in the end they gave me a replacement!!
I agree - took it completely apart and cleaned everything ....
And still have the issue.
Serves me right for buying something in Middlesbrough I suppose
It must be a hard fault with the LCD assembly. Will have to see how Dixons handles an overseas repair.
Take care & thx,
Mick
I had the same problem, in the end i took it into my local t-mob shop to have it repaired, they ended up sending me a new one.
Well, I've exactly the same problem since the past two-three weeks, it also occurs only in the morning. I'm living in the Netherlands and this is happening since it's rather cold over here, especially in the morning (3-4 degree Celcius). Since my bedroom window is open during the night, it gets rather cold in my room.
During the rest of the day it is +8 degree Celcius, and the phone works flawless. Maybe this problem has something to do with the Temperature?
Temperature
Bebob - don't thin so as I have had this problem for a number of months and the temp here in the summer is high (30+ degrees C)
It looks to be a bad connection type issue and may be a bad screen cable. It makes sense though that the issue is at the bottom of the screen cos this is where we press the select buttons all of the time.
Pls keep me posted on how you do. mine is going to a local repair shop (on my dime) tomorrow to see if they can fix it.
If not can any of you guys recomend a new unit that could be considered an upgrade to the KJAM ?
Many thanks
Mick
suggestions needed
friends, i have o2 mini s and got the same problem with screen for the last 3 weeks....
can anyone tell me that will the problem aggravate or else will i be able to use my cell properly for few months...
and also what will be the approx cost of repair..
all suggestions will be warmly appreciated...
It's happened to me as well. I have lived with that for one month now. It is happening, when I touch the cursor keys or when touch the lower part of the display. I tried "shaking/hitting" the xda and it looks better, so I assume it is a faulty connection cable.
I have active Cleartype and no more vertical lines for the past 2 days.
I seems to be a problem when background is white and leters are black.
Regards
similar problem
i dropped the phone (T-Mobile MDA Vario) and now when i turn it on the screen is fine for 5-30 seconds but then it scrambles, but works again if i smack the bottom of the phone on my hand!
t-mobile staff told me there are sensors to identify if it has been dropped. I'm suspicious that it could even be programmed to go "faulty" once it is dropped as the screen is fine for a limited time so it obviously works somewhat. do you know if this is the case? or what's happened? also is it a simple thing i could do myself? i didn't take out insurance so that's why i haven't just claimed off that as i'm really broke
Any help is appreciated
Regards,
Steve
whiteish screen / over temperature
hi,
I have a problem smilar at qtek 9100. I had upgade to my ppc wm5 to wm6 around 3 week ago and overclocked to 221 mhz with batery status today plug-in . 2 days ago Screen became whiteish (almost no contrast or over gamma) and working temperature is around 30c. I tried to re-flash with many kind roms but noting chaged.
Is there anybody has these kind of experice. If I can not solve. I am planing to buy new LCD ( I am not sure new LCD will solve the problem)
Thanks
Same problem here. Dropped it ONE time and the screen went crazy. Sent it to my t-mob shop and they got it repaired. They said in the report that they changed the "flex". Dunno if this helps.
After reading through the faq and seeing that the screen alignment issue is a hardware problem and won't be solved with a ROM upgrade as I had hoped. I just wondered if anyone had spoken to T-Mobile about this and what there response is. Will they replace the device for one that doesn't have the problem how did later (serial no devices fix the problem? (Mine is a HT 634 Vario II)
(The SA issue has proved to be a huge problem for me and almost makes the device unusable).
it was such a common problem I'm sure T-Mobile will replace the unit. Get them phoned, get new handset, get happy!
Sent my device back to T-mobile and it was replaced but soon had SA problem back.
Contated them again and they gave me the option to send it to HTC, i did this and got the same device back but with new LCD and since no SA problems.
I was within the number of days from purchase (forget how many), and they replaced my device immediately. Had to go to CS and after checking that I'd tried soft reset etc, they put me through to tech dept who checked the same thing, but the upshot was, they couriered a new phone to me at work and I gave them the old one and kept the new one. A1 service.
I had no problem at all with T-mobile when I got the screen alignment problem. They were really helpful and did the same as the last post, sent a replacement by courier and collected the faulty one at the same time. I was two weeks into the contract and they told me that their policy is to give a replacement if the contract is under 30 days. After that I think you have to send it away for repair.
I bought my original 8525 in December, and it worked fine until two weeks ago when I started to get the white screen of death. I called AT&T and they overnighted another phone. I don't know if it's a refurb or new, but it came with just the phone and no accessories. I'm thinking refurb.
Got the new phone (and sims card) on 7/2, and loaded Majik, and a couple of days later, started having the phone quit any program I was using and going back to the start page. I was out of town, and it was a PITA. Got back into town and re-flashed just see if it helped, and the same problem started again soon after.
Called again, and got another phone today. I decided to keep this one stock and see what happens...10 hours later, the new phone starts the same problem.
Others seem to have the same problem, and it may be caused by pressure on the touch screen from too much torque on the screws underneathe the screen. With use generating heat, expansion causes the touchscreen to close out all programs like hitting the X button.
Thoughts? What's the next best phone similar in function and size to the Hermes?
Wait another month or so for the Kaiser. Much better specs and a bit thinner.
I contacted HTC America about the problems with my phones, and here's part of their reply...
"There is no such known issue with the device however, this issue can also be due to a glitch in the software and performing a master reset and go through all of the set up prompts once it boots up should solves the problem."
I find it hard to beleive that no one else has contacted HTC about screens fading to white and touchscreens failing.
Hi guys,
I could not find any other "help" section, so I decided to write my problem here. My Diamond 2 has some sort of display problem, device works, same with touchscreen. I can blindly control the phone, but I can't see anything because LCD does not work. I attached a photo of how LCD looks like when it is not in standby (light on). LCD looks fine with light off (in standby/turned off).
Anyone knows what this might be? I don't know how it happened, but not by my direct action. I checked a clock many times that day, and later when I checked the phone I just could not get LCD to work anymore. Just this.
I already e-mailed HTC service for support. I bought the phone from Amazon UK like 3 months ago, so I think warranty is still valid. I just hope they will not cause any problems and repair the phone without any fees. I am just checking here for your expertise on the matter. Maybe there is someone else here with same problem.
Thanks!
* I tried hard reset button
Hi
By pressing the button at the top (to check the clock) so many times the button may have got loose or the the wires connecting the LCD to the motherboard may be loose, I had this problem with my Nokia N85.
Best thing to do is get it repaired under warranty. First, ring or email Amazon and see what they can do. If your unwilling to send it off Carphone Warehouse will do the repair it for you but you have to find the repair centres. They have quite a few so it should be too hard to find.
Also Carphone Warehouse will not charge you as long as you have proof of purchase.
Man.
Is sending the phone to the Carphone Warehouse a good idea? I was just browsing the net and found many complaints about their repair services.
I sent my Nokia N85 for repair and it was ok. But I can see why your asking because I read the same reviews.
You should definiately try Amazon first.
Man.
had problems with the screen on their legend
my wife has had her legend replaced 3 times now due to screen faults
it's all happened since the froyo upgrade ...... i suppose we cant complain because vodafone replace it everytime it goes wrong but the wife is getting un-happy with continually having to set her phone up every time it gets replaced
i had strange problem with screen, i boght mine used so i thought it might be defected from the beginning. but the previous owner(which had eclair said it was working fine) now after froyo, the screen is acting strange, not responding, or i dont know the perfect word, flickering or shivering.
i'll send it to htc egypt to see if this is hw or sw problem.
Yes, mine went to HTC for repair for a screen fault (dead column).
It's been fine since thou. Don't know if they are fitting an improved screen. Obviously Vodaphone just swapping out units might be worse, as clearly all the units on the shelves may have the same problem.
Try contacting HTC for repair directly, that might put an end to it.
