I am having this problem with my wizard where the screen frequently distorts. Most of the time the distortion appears in random, regionalized portions of my screen. Sometimes the distortions affect the entire screen. I have even seen the distortions once on the splash screen during a reboot. The first time this happened was the first time I tried to overclock my device. I set it at 240 mhz and saw the distortions in the first five minutes of testing it. I never tried to overclock it again but I continue to experience this issue and it has been a couple weeks.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Dude I'm having the same issues with my device and I haven't tried overclocking it at all! I have no idea what it is or how to fix it. It seems that the display is fine for the first day or 2 after a new rom load but the distortion comes back soon after... very irritating... Will be cool if someone has found a fix for this!

The screen on my Atom shakes in bright light. It's almost like there's two of the same lines and one of them is moving up and down maybe 1 mm or so. Has anybody else got that problem? It only happens in bright light, and it doesn't have anything to do with the veiewing angle, so it's not a trick of the light. The screen actually shakes! Oh, and it has done that on all the four (I think four) ROM's I have tried: The original it came with, the leaked ROM, the "Not for sale" ROM and the latest official ROM.
Er.. I have experience similiar problem too.. not with PDA screen, but with certain pattern (e.g. diagonal lines). As far as I know, it is my own eyes that is causing the problem. Before you go around finding answer for your PDA, try asking another person (the more the better), to look at your screen under the same condition, see if the person can see the same thing or not
If it is the screen problem, probably because it is a transflective screen? You are seeing the image of the reflective mirror at the back together with the actual LCD screen?
It would be a good idea, but my wife has seen it too, and this is my fourth or fifth PDA. They have all had the same or similar themes, and neither of the other units has had this problem. It's specially visible on the home screen, with the small writing for appointments and stuff. But this gave me an idea: I will try to change to one of the standard O2 themes and see if that changes anything!

A have the same problem. Not often, but looks like you discribe, but it doesn't depend of light. Usially its several seconds long, and after that it becomes stable. I think its hardware problem. As I know some people have prodlem with pitch noise of the screen.
screen flicker and sound
Have the same occurence with the flickering screen(thought something was wrong with my eyes, as well as the high pitched sound coming from the screen everytime i turn the unit on. i don't really mind the screen but anyone got any solution to the sound? :shock:
Shaky Screen
Well I have this problem too with my Atom. I think it has to do with the transreflective screen--mainly a hardware problem with the direct sunlight messing with the screen. As far as I know it doesn't hurt it or damage the screen. It just makes it annoying to use the Today screen or the Wireless manager in direct sunlight. (I got this info by doing a search for the screen, try 'TFT' or 'screen problems.')
As far as I know there is nothing you can do about it.
Also with the high pitched noise--mine has finally gone away, or my hearing has just gotten worse and I've lost the ability to hear a sound at that high of a pitch.
I hope this helps!
I see... I hope mine goes away too :wink: I can leave with the flickering screen but the noise is just plain annoying :?
Just my expenrience.
I have read and tried the overclocking thing on my Charmer. And I've noticed that, if I were to underclock the unit approx 110MHz, the screen will flicker under the bright day light. I'm not sure if you can overclock your Atom (e.g. is it OMAP processor? Do a search before attempting anything, it may kill your unit). Maybe you can solve the problem overclocking it?
I tested out the HD2 outside in below freezing temps, and it really had a tough time registering my finger presses. It took about 5 minutes, before it could register properly... Anyone experience these issues?
Yes, and the wind keeps pressing things which makes it almost useless. I'm hoping some of the hints here on how to make it less sensitive will help but I haven't tried it yet.
I've noticed the "ghost" pressing (the screen registered a LOT of presses when my fingers were nowhere near the screen) of the screen too. I also contacted HTC support on the issue, and they said it was not a known problem.
So, again, I'd suggest that if you're experiencing issues with the screen in cold temperatures (finger touches not registering, "ghost pressing" etc.), let HTC know about it!
i got that kind of ghost typing too. pretty funny to watch but annoying when you see its deleting mails, answering sms or calls people ... will contact htc as well to let them know.
Confirmed here too. Though I thought it was caused by constant rain/snow here in Moscow, which fell directly on the screen when the ghost tapping occured.
Yeah I get the ghost tapping but only after i've been in a call and hang up, it then starts doing all sorts of things by itself normally ending up with dialling someone!! :/
I dunno about the ghost-typing but isn't it a common fact that capacitive screens don't work well with low temperatures?
That's a capacitive touch-panel "Feature" . HTC can't do anything about it (besides lowering the screen sensitivity).
edit: Umiss beat me to it lol
you can lower the screen sensitivity either by installing the new 1.48 rom or using the cab from the hints and tweaks thread in opening couple of posts. Should help.
Hello, My G1 has just suffered a problem, i was scrolling down a web page and the screen faded out like it had lost power but the backlight was still on, the keys lit up and it still could make the trackball clicking noise when you moved it. I took out the battery and left it for 5 minutes and rebooted my phone and the screen turned on for about 3 seconds and faded out like before but it did boot into android as I heard the notification/startup sound. I think that the screen has burnt out but im not shore so has anybody had this problem before and/or might know how to fix it
Just some more infomation, If the screen dies and I leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it or slide the screen up, the screen works for a few seconds but then fades. Also the fading looks like the screen lost power or like its losing pixels
From my experience with phone hardware this doesnt look like screen problem, but rather the lamp driver in the motherboard. the only way to narrow down is test the motherboard /screen with another phone.
If this is the case, it might require servicing the backlight driving circuit, which by far requries soldering/desoldering some components in motherboard.

had the same problem its a hardware issue. tmobile sent me a new phone no questions asked
Thanks for the replies, it seems that it has fixed its self as I've been using it for about 5 hours and no problems so far, I'm using it right now to type this, if the problem persists I will try and fix it or just buy a new one
After hanging up from a phone call the top left corner of my screen was really bright. There were two vertical lines down the screen and the screen was transparent and flickering. I could still see my home screen and the screen was functional. I restarted the phone and it was still acting up. Only after turning the phone off for a few mins did it stop. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas on what would cause it? I haven't had any issues with the phone, no drops or anything. Currently running aokp with matrix kernel.

I had this issue too. My phone just arrived today. In my case the problem occurred after power cycling the phone (trying to get the WiFi to connect.. grrrr) The boot process was fine but once I got to the launcher my screen was flickering like a strobe light. I tried to power off and back on and it still happened. I didn't give it several minutes like you did so I'm not sure if it would have gone away. Since I hadn't really configured the phone yet I simply did a factory reset and it was fine. Seems to be a software issue. I hope it doesn't happen again but if it does I'll see if just leaving it off for a while helps. I hope so because I don't want to have to factory reset all the time!

What could be wrong with my phone?
The graphic glitch even happens on the samsung logo - way before it boots. Sometimes, it's stuck on the galaxy note 4 logo. And then sometimes, it would also crash with a loud, static noise.
I cannot simulate what triggers the behavoir. There are instances that it will boot infinitely until it finally reaches the homescreen. Doing a clear cache helps, but not 100%.
Phone is usable, but is not reliable once it does that.
Here are videos I've taken of it happening.
Before you play it, LOWER the VOLUME because it really is a loud crashing sound. It happens on the second video.
It can boot once it gets through that hiccup, but it can be annoying.
I hope you can help me.

Hi, no it isn't at all the same issue as I can see. The phone will boot-up to Lineage. Parts of the screen will work others won't. Unlucky for me the parts of the screen I need to work TWERP are just those screen segments or blocks of pixels I need. Bummer
Finding a working of my stock OS has been a non starter. All the d/l's I've found have all been corrupted.
There has to be somewhere on the net that keeps a working suppository of hash checkable stock-were?????
Thanks
Bruvs!
