Hi all, I've been testing some roms, and finally found one I like nfsans 6.5. Recently while I was tethering my sprint touch, i had the phone sitting in the window seal for better reception and it was really sunny and warm, my phones screen started rolling by itself and there was nothing I could do. I did a soft reset then the phone would have a white screen. It boots up because the green light is flashing, but it's still a white screen. I can receive phone calls, and if I knew where stuff was on the screen, the screen is still responsive to touches, but it's just white. I tried hard reset, bootloader mode, and taking the battery out and nothing still white screen. I put the battery in the freezer for about 15mins, then put it back in the phone and it boots up and the screen is normal for about 10-15 mins then the screen starts flickering or rolling then it turns white. I took the battery out and stuck the phone in my cool basement for about 30 mins, then put battery in then it does the same thing, it works for about 15 mins then rolling screen then white. Please any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

OK, so your battery gets hot - but have you taken the battery out and ran the phone on a different battery?
It may be heat from the battery causing issues although it would have to be really hot to do so I think or perhaps in your window the sun could have baked something on your phone directly and after the device runs for a while it blanks out the screen
I read through your posts regarding this as well on PPCGeeks - looking for a different answer? Dont think your going to get much of one other than you already got from over there its most likely a hardware issue just how and what is the hard part to determine across the net

Thanks, but I don't think I have a thread over there. Looks like I'll have to use my squaretrade warranty with this thing.
ok i am going to bring this back into the light to see if there have been any resolutions. i just flashed to v13 of NSFAN's and just started having the white screen. however mine is not really hot at all. neither battery or phone. i figured i had a bad flash so i have tried to reflash a few other times and i still get it. no ryme or reason i even tried flashing back to v12 since i never had a problem and right off the bat, white screen. i think i will post in the mega nsfan's mega thread as well just to maybe get a few more eyes on it.

I am having this problem for last 1 week or so. My Touch HD screen won't turn on, stays black but in the background it's working. it's responding to touch gestures. vibrates when i press call,end, home buttons. I have installed My Mobiler, so i can see the screen in my PC but it's all black in phone. Sometime it comes back in few minutes and sometime it takes hours. I have tried hard reset, different roms, stock rom, stock spl, updated radios but nothing so far. Is it a Software issue or is it hardware based?
Thanks in Advance.
anyone?.......

no i don't think i have ever dropped mine.
I have tried everything i can think of, it just started happening about 10 days ago. It's getting worse now, screen stays black for hours, even restarting the phone doesn't help.
This actually happened to mine as well, and I was very close to sending it back under warranty. However I removed the battery & SD Card overnight and tried phone again. This time it rebooted fine with screen working properly. Try this and see if it works.
The problem with the HD is its not very well put together and a number of people have had issues with motherboards & faulty/loose connections with the screen resulting in the symptoms you are experiencing.
If has since happed again and I decided I couldn't wait so I took device apart and fixed loose connections again.
Under no circumstances should you try this unless you are 100% comfortable and know what you are doing as opening up device will void your warranty
hi guys
well ok here is the story
I got htc touch elf
in past i have flashed many roms, upgraded radio,uspl & all & everything was working fine but today phone was in my pocket & when i take it out no display but network led flashing, so I soft reset it but it didn't turned on. I even tried charging but the orange LED light didn't come on(even after 10 mins of charging). than i removed my battery & after 10 minutes i placed it in & turned on my phone this time it starts. So i quickly hard reseted the device & it worked fine. But within few minutes when its customizing the device it turned off & screen goes black. I tried turning on & it turned on & quickly adjusted back light settings. & was editing time it hangs & again turned off. I tried again & again sometimes it turns off at smart mobility screen. & later it didn't even turn on & no charging light even when plugged into charger. I took out battery again & placed it in & it utrnd on but turns off in few minutes.
My touch is almost 2years old & orignal stock battery since i purchased touch
i guessing that it may be battery issue cause i was able to go in try colour boot loader screen but it fades & changed in to dim white screen.
It also happens in smart mobility screen & turns reddish or blue & than turns off.
any ideas guyz
watz this issue
I am guessing battery issue but in try color screen it fades to dim white screen & from past 20 minutes its still in that dim white light(picture attached)
so is battery corrupted or any hardware issue.
any help will be so helpful
thanks
waiting for your replies
PS:- & when i was able to log in windows i checked battery status it says 70%. after 10 minutes of without battery I reinserted battery & goes to tricolour boot loader screen This time it didn't fades.
But when i soft reset device it stays in red colored smart mobility screen see pic attached
no one wid any idea
here's what u can do...try to hard reset till u see the tri color screen and then flash it with a stock ROM with the W/O 6.1 it should turns into green color..then just configure it as usual.
Try with a fully charged battery, if battery is not the issue then put in a fully charged battery and then flash a stock ROM, don't risk a flash with this battery, it may die in between of a flash ( maybe battery cycle issues 2 year old batteries can give these ). Flash stock with a new battery which is charged to 100%.
If not just manage a flash to stock and go to HTC support, maybe issues with harware.
You sure no moisuture/water went it ? These phones are tricky if moisture goes in and creats issues with motherboar an the tocuh screen can cause re-boots etc etc.
thanks for your reply guyz
I visit service center & they told me that its motherboard issue.And they cant fix it..have to buy new motherboard but as it costs 70% of the price of mobile so better to buy a new one
After searching web for it I found that HTC has these motherboard issue. There hardware is not long lasting.
As promised, just replying to this now. have just seen your last post. It does indeed sound like a hardware issue - I was going to guess at the mainboard. Have you tried flashing on a different ipl/spl etc? I wonder if that may be de stabilising your device for some reason? Also, guess you could try another radio. I have 3.21.90 on both of mine. Can't remember what IPL/SPL combo I have going.
Sorry to not be of more use. By all means feel free to see what JTAG can do for you, but I seriously doubt you will be able to alleviate this situation, and at the same time, HTC/Service Centre would be a little less willing to help.
They also tried to charge me £90 GBP to fix an ELF.... that is more then I can buy them for!

yup. I tried flashing diffrent radio and roms. But it didn't worked. will flash ipl spl if it comes back to life again
thanks again for your replies
No need to say thanks. I wouldn't be on this site if it wasn't for others helping, not would I have bothered posting my attempts at jtag etc
Let us know how you get on, I am intrigued to see what could be going wrong on your phone.
Hi,
I bought my Flipside at the beginning of June and it's been fine up until yesterday. When I slide the keyboard out the screen spazzes out and sometimes works afterward but usually fades to black, causing me to have to take the battery out and turn the phone back on. I can still use the on-screen keyboard but the screen is too small for that to work very well. If the screen starts spazzing out (everything moving around and flashing and jumping) and I try to turn the screen off and back on once it's off it doesn't come back on. Also almost all the time the first time I try to turn the phone back on it hangs on the "M" screen and i have to take the battery out and try to turn it on again. I tried a hard reset but that didn't help anything. I'm worried since this phone is barely a month old that it might be a hardware issue but I don't think I got insurance on the phone and can't afford a new one right now so..any ideas?
Thanks
EDIT: Also, there is no water damage and I've only dropped the phone a couple times, and there's a case on the phone
Hi
I noticed this two times now and sadly I did not make a photo of it. I will try to describe it:
The phone is in standby, I press the power button and the display stays black. Over 10 seconds, the black slowly faded to a sort of gray blur. It somehow looked like a can of white wall paint was spilled over the black display. Another buttonpress turned it off again and then it worked normal again. So the phone was still working in the background, not crashed. This also happened one time while I booted the phone, right at the google logo.
What is this?? Is it a defect, or just software bug??
Thanks!

Flash the stock Nexus 4 image, and if it still happens, get an RMA
I can do that, although I am still on stock and unrooted. Only applied ota 4.2.1 update. But I will give it a try!
edit: found two people on german forum who also witnessed this! so more possibly a software problem?
edit2: Got RMA
Got my S7 Edge for just over a month now, and yesterday it started showing a black screen from time to time when navigating the phone. Note that I haven't dropped the phone, changed anything to it or made it wet. So after the black screen flickering, it only got worse, the black screen appears everytime for like half a second when i touch the screen, and when it gets noticably hot it simply stays black with rainbow lines flashing over the black screen.
Booting in safemode doesn't help. The flickering seems to be reduced just a little when I put it in the charger.. Not sure why.
I feel let down by Samsung (again), and I am bringing it to the service center tomorrow to have it fixed (and trade / sell it when I get it back) but I wanted to make 1 last cry for help on XDA, since maybe someone has a magical solution that will prevent me being without a smartphone for 2 weeks+.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Nothing we can do.
Factory reset phone is your last resort.
