I refer to this thread because it is the summary of our knowledge (such as it is) on the "physical" white screen issue. No perfect answers and no perfect solutions (but things that have worked for some)

My Cingular 8525 is having screens issues that I thought I'd post to the community if anyone has seen this.
The normal screen will go to all white under thermal conditions it appears. Thermal being inside a hot car, in my holster against my hip, gripping in my hand, heavy use with BT or wifi... thus I suspect thermal. I've changed battery's, no change. If it has changed to all white screen, a soft reset will not revert the screen back. The pda appears to have to "cool" off before screen will recover.
Could this be a LCD driver chip dieing? The screen itself? Worth repairing? Got my eye on the AT&T Fuze but wanted to keep the 8525 going for a few more months.
Thanks, Craig
holy crap I'm having the same problem. I havent determined heat to be the problem, but the only possible clue is that once, right after i hung up ona phone conversation, the screen turned semi white. If you looked real hard you could tell that the menus and programs were still operating normally, but the screen was screwy. using johkoss's V8 w. Manilla2D
Major problem, theres a MASSIVE thread going for this, sometimes it pays to use the search function.....
this is "the most common issue" on a hermes device.
I, personally, experienced it 3 times with 3 different hermes. Each time I had to send the device back to the shop. Because my device was under warranty, I always got a new one, free of charge.
You guys might want to check the Wiki, cause I believe there's a section there just dedicated for this issue.
I can't remember what the details are, but if my memory serves me right, it has something to do with the hardware (connection of cables to the screen).
I don't use hermes anymore, but I still come to the hermes forum every now and then...
Therer are actually a myriad of reasons you can get whitescreen, both hardware and software. From the descriptions though, it sounds like hardware.
This can be one of the most difficult things to fix as there may be multiple reasons and fixing one thing won't fix the issue.

I am agree with you. White screen may be appears occasionally and may be not. When white screen appears in my experience, it's enough to soft-reset.
May be different solutions with another?
HTC TyTN White Screen Issue with S/N Starting with HT6's
is your TyTN S/N start's with a HT6 you have a defective model for sure they are one of the first breads and are being known too have issues, so anyone make sure it starts with a HT733G4323 Etc, if your buying one of these used.
Or Even new Watch Out.
HTC TyTN
1.10
mobile 5
With 6.1 Plug-in's
Can't say that MY HT6 is a problem.. I actually found it faster than a HT7 (I have both). I did have to replace the LCD, BUT, it was because the touchscreen died, NOT whitescreen.
I bought the HT7 as a broken Hermes off ebay and found that it was actually less responsive than my older model. Used it to fix my older HT6 than use the HT7 motherboard in my, now, Frankenphone....
The "broken" Jasjam had a broken camera. It was actually just unplugged from the board. Liked my older model better...
Cheers...

Hi guys,
I did do a search and found some info on the 'white screen' issue but most seem to be as a result of failed programming.
Mine, well, it just shows nothing other than a white screen! If I remove the battery and then refit, all I get is a white screen.
I know the unit is working as when I connect it to my PC, Activesync establishes a connection and I can use SOTI's Pocket Controller and view the MDA's screen content on my PC even though all the MDA shows is a white screen.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Is a replacement screen required?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
John

Hello all,
I'm newby at the forum and sorry for my bad English. I just read all the threads concerning my problem, before post this, and a can't find any solution
I bought this phone on ebay faulty. The seller tell that it only problem was white screen. I thought was simple to fix with flashing but... I tried to fix it using all the solutions even i just open it and clean with a soft brush but no luck
When i turn it on i just see a white screen. When a plug it in ac adapter he charge and when a plug it at my desktop e charge too but don't syncronize with active sync 4,5. For this i don't know if is a software or hardware issue.
I can't put into bootloader too.
Any Help? I don't want spend my money in a new lcd without your opinion.
Thanks in advance for all e regards from Portugal.
This topic has been covered many times, which is perhaps why folk will not answer in a new thread about it.
Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321163
But in summary:
Flashing will not cure it.
A new screen will probably not cure it.
In many cases it is caused by a fault on the d/pad. Replacing that might be successful. In the thread above look for the bit about putting padding on a d/pad chip - that seems to have worked for many (but not all)

Hi there. I just open a new thread cause i had read all the things in the link you gave, with no luck for me. But thank you for the help.
Hello! I have the same problem with my Hermes. But I know how to solve it - at least in my case. I had to open PDA and look inside. There's a tape (strip?) which is connected by two screws. Well, one is gone. The tape doesn't lie as it should so I had to connect it by glue. Now it's fine. It was physical damage, flashing wouldn't help much, especially here but my thougts were similiar in the beginning.
Good luck and Cheers
Hi,
many of Yotaphone 2 users complain about their e-ink screens, that are not completly black if needed, too grainy or some fading different bars of grey (a scale of w-b rainbow) instead of one shade of black screen.
Others complain about ghosts problem.
There are some advices to fix the problems like:
- to uncharge the battery to 0% and keep discharged for few days,
- to downgrade Android to version 4.
Sometimes it helped sometimes not. In my case that did not solve e-ink problems at all. I have tested androids 4,5,6 and few times discharged the battery and left it so even for a week.
When i came to terms with a problematic e-ink screen and decided not to bother my head with this anymore, the solution came
One evening i took my YP2 to my pocket, plugged earphones and went for running for about 30 minutes. The phone was jumping and shaking in a pants' pocket (which is not tight) during my run.
I got back home, leaved the phone on the table for the night (even not looking at it) and the next morning there was a big surprise, a perfectly black e-ink screen. No shades, no bars, no ghosts. It has been working perfectly for a week now and i hope this fact will not change
Try it and give here response if my advice help you or not.
My YP2 is chinese YD206 changed with Android 6.0.1 RU version (1.1.47) to YD201.
Best regards,
Peter.

Hi, do you wish to suggest mechanical shock helped the display to settle into a uniform state? Considering that the EPD does involve an electromechanical mechanism for changing states, yet it's practicality is uncertain.
^ I think he means sweat, I'll dump my phone in to the sea, expect reports in 10 hours
My "broken" line appeared after running battery tests on different roms, so I think heat causes it. So far I have not seen any reports of fixing e-ink screens with thise kinds of problems. My kobo reader is perfect after almost 6 years.

Yes, mechanical shock was exactly what had helped with the epd problem.
I know that seems to be wird but it really helped. My EPD was not functioning properly since purchasing the phone as new one about 6 months ego.
Non of advices available on the Internet did not help. Maybe there was some poor connection on some electrical terminal of EPD until mechanical shock improved the connection or something like that.
I am really curious if my notification on EPD problems is going to help other poeple who strugled to solve their EPD problems in vain.
Just wait and see.
I have to add that now i really like my phone. The dark theme is awesome!
I drive scooter on bumpy road and it has no effect on my e-ink "dead" line.
I am afraid dead line is more serious problem and requires display replacement. I never had dead lines problem. My EPD problems were: ghosting, too grainy, too bright and b-w rainbow scale in the background instead of one shade. Dark theme was unreadable, white theme was better but still not perfect.
My Yotaphone developed dead lines yesterday, and I'm not inclined to use it anymore. It's difficult to understand that the feature they romanticized the most, is inherently flawed.
Hi friends,
Newbie here, recently bought a Megane 2 that had installed an after-market tablet (see pic) - not sure what the model is but I know I've seen it in other people's threads, so I guess it's popular.
The problem is I am not able to configure the SWC for it - in the manual it says to press the desired button on the steering, then the according on the tablet and when it turns blue its done. However, in my case, when doing that the button on the tablet it's only flickering blue a few time and then going back to green, sign that it's not able to establish the connection.
I am not stranger of technology, however I know little to nothing about wires and cabling, so if you have any ideas regarding how to fix this please describe it as easy as possible - it would be much appreciated.
Also, if there are other threads where this issue was fixed, please point me to them - I searched the forum myself, but I couldn't find anything helpful enough.
Thank you all!
