I'm hoping you guys can help. I have searched and cannot find reference to this problem, but I cant believe I'm the only one... I have the HTC Wizard in the O2 XDA mini s form.
Whenever I slide out the keyboard to write a text, within a second or so the screen freezes. I can continue pressing typing but nothing on the screen changes. If I press the screen off button to turn just the screen off, then back again, I can see the newly typed text, and then it freezes again straight away.
Is anyone else suffering with this problem please?
Has anyone solved it?
Thanks for you help.

Well, sounds like the keyboard inputs are getting there (a good thing), perhaps something is running in the background eating up resources not allowing the display to update. What’s in your “windows/startup” folder? Also, what today plugins are you running? Have you burnt a new ROM or are you running the original?
Hi, thanks for the reply. Im still running the original ROM. I don't think its a background task issue. The screen freezes and distorts (lighter coloured lines across the screen.) Im pretty sure its not just a refresh issue.
I guess I just assumed something like this must be a common problem, that others have had and solved.
Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem and I really dont know what to do. Its happening on every ROM I install, even if I revert back to the original ROM. I have a feeling its my SD card, but I cant tell which folder specifically.
Maybe bad flex-cable could cause that kind of problem.
Yeh, same here.. I think its about the flex cable also. It stopped on my case for a while when i dissassembled the wiz and cleaned it up... but it continues now propably would help if got new flexi cable, or could it come when phone gets cold? its pretty freezy in finland sometimes sry about bad language.

Hi,
Does anyone know why my screen just suddenly goes white?
It started when i heard someone called me. I looked at the screen and it was totally white. Pressing buttons didn't do anything. I tried soft + hard reset but the fone was still like that.
Has anyone got this problem before?

i haven't had the problem but it would be helpful if we knew what kind of a phone and rom you have
my fone is cingular 8525, and I have no idea what kinda rom I have. I only unlocked it with the software available here, and still haven't had time to play with other stuff yet.
oh, and i don't think the front buttons work, btw, so when i said i hard reseted it, i was wrong.
it also seems like this problem:

Don't you think? Now I'll have to buy some tools to open this baby up. Does anyone know where I can get the right tools?
It's always best to start at the beginning. Go HERE to a page that I created for new members that has links to EVERYTHING you may need to know about fixing your phone, flashing ROMS and Radios, etc.
Best wishes,
I just fixed it i just fixed it ). I don't think the light sensor for the keyboard work anymore thou, but screw that, the phone works ).

hi everyone, this is my first official post on the forums, and well i need ur help on my phone, for some reason when i slide my phone the screen shows like random lines etc, then when i slide it back it does the same, and itll take like a good 30 mins to get the screen right to its proper look, usually itll show like blue, or green, and even sometimes i get that "White Screen" where id see it everytime i slide or slide it back so idk, and even when i soft reset, either the screen is out of line or itll show those random lines again also to add to that sometimes the soft keys on the front dont work at times soo idk if its the ROM i just put in which was from T-Mobile or my screen :/.....i need ur help, cuz i might consider getting the screen replace or load the bootloader....appreciate the help and btw heres my video i just posted to give a good clearance of what im talking about and when i show the phone up close im fiddling with the power button to show how it is, thnx
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2Lnwzqkt8k
im sure its the rom, i used pdaviet's rom and it did that ****. i replaced it with a different rom and it never did it again.
well i just redid everything and EVEN on the bootloader still had the whacky look on the screen...
ok well i put the old rom, the one that came with when i first got it, and still no luck....could it be a faulty screen connection? or the screen dying? and btw the phone has a real irritating noise.... and also on bootup he screen wont be aligned....idk what to do...
God..... Vital information you didnt put in... if you hear the noise, then its a goner. it prolly has a leaky capacitor, or the screen is some how desoldered and shorting out the board.

well whats the best bet? should i get this repaired as soon as possible???? or get a new one? and doubt bout the second reason, cuz the noise stops when my screen is off(of course) and sometimes when its in portrait mode, ya the screen would be on and would be white but none of that hating noise
After I installed new rom on my blackstone a new problem came out...
Time to time something hapens to my touch screen. It gets very very imprecise. For example, when I'm writing a SMS message I press the "V" button but then "G" is written on the screen... But this doesn't happen just when I'm writing a SMS but it happens no matter what I'm doing with the phone... Everything seems to be "shifted"/moved for about 1 centimetre upwards.
I made a hard reset and reinstalled rom but nothing didn't helped...
But it's funny because this isn't happening all the time but just time to time. Then I recalibrate the screen (voUp and voDO + tap the screen) and it helps for a few moments and than the same problem again. Then I'm doing the recalibration procedure till this problem vanish...
What is the problem, how can I solve it???
Please help because it is really annoying...
Hi,
May be that the change of Rom is only a coincidence?
It is not excluded that the touch screen of your blackstone can be a little damaged.
I have a pda that sometimes have the same problem, but I not updated any Rom to it.
Simply I stressed his touch screen with some abnormal pressure (I think).
thanks for reply...
It's funny because it works fine all day but suddenly you need to write a SMS or just answer the call, but that is not possible.
Well the screen might been damaged but it's weird because when I start calibrating the screen I tap the cross and it's not moved...
What can I do?
Same problem
I have same problem and I didn't make any ROM update. I didn't install any new software, but suddenly my screen started to be unaccurate and shifted somehow. calibration helps but after while it's shifted again. I was thinking about updating ROM, but if this is not a solution, then I don't want to ...
Well I send my phone to repair. They said that it was a mechanical issue so I think you should send it also due it looks like this is the only way to solve this problem. I hope you still have your phone under guarantee...
Oh and make sure whether you need original ROM or you may use the changed one, because in Slovenia you need stock ROM and no programs installed (like Garmin etc.). So the best think to do is to hard reset the phone and then send it to repair, so you don't have any problems...
Hi everyone
I have a problem with my hd. It starts yesterday. My touchscreen is responsing randomly. I explain, when I touch anywhere on the screen, the only thing that happens is the backlight switching on. The four keys on the bottom of the screen are not responding too.
I dont know, if it is a hardware or a software problem. I hard reset my phone, but same thing. Does anyone get an idea?
Thanks for your answers.

Hey!
Im having this exact same problem at the moment. Started a few days ago but kept coming back on, but now, 3 days later the screen is totally unresponsive. Im pretty sure its a hardware problem because I have hard reset it too, but now I can not even get it past the alignment screen.
Really hope someone knows whats going on with our phones so we can fix them!

Someone has an idea? or i have to bring it to get it repair. Guess i have no choice....
search back through these pages and you'll see this happening to alot of people, me included, check the stats under my name and all posts under my name, and you can read some of my long winded descriptions of the issue, if you can manage to put the stock ROM back on there, I would !!, and try for a warranty fix, or else (like me) you are on your own....., I was without a way to flash stock ROM back, so as it stands now, I've got a HD, sittin at home for parts, I'm pretty sure it's the motherboard, as some people have suggested, there are screens available on ebay but no motherboards..... so I'm screwed...., good luck !!
Sorry for jumping in here. I've got one of those winmo HD2 jobbies.
But a non computer literate friend of mine has a problem with his legend.
The notification swipe from the top keeps randomly obscuring the screen when he's using the phone. Mid text. half way through dialling. Just when you don't want it the notification pane will swoop down and obscure everything.
Is this a known problem?
Is there a widget to restart just the sense part of the phone without doing a full soft reset? (I have such a button on mine)
He has updated the software with the latest release from Vodaphone and it still does it.
Any tips?
Thanks loads

You can restart Sense by closing it in the running Applications list, or by using any application management app.
However, from the description of the problem I'd say there is something wrong with the screen. I had similar symptoms on my 2nd legend when the lefthand 8mm of the screen went wonky. There are multitouch test apps in the Market which you can use to check the functionality of the screen, they helped me pinpoint what was going on.
Had it before. The way I do it is to swipe it down again and you can swipe it back up. The other way is to flash another ROM. That did the trick permanently for me.

Hi,
I have the same issue on my Legend, seems total random.
I have to restart my phone in order to get it back to "normal"
As this seems to be a software bug , I really hope they will fix it in 2.2
(if we ever get it
Thanks for the replies. He's taken it back to the shop and told them to fix it.
Now he's worried he's going to get a reconditioned/refurbished one instead of the shiny new one he took in.
No pleasing some people
