Can anyone confirm if this is hapening to them.
when you turn on the camera, especially on something white it tries to adjust the colour but then stops when everything looks pink. Even when turning the camera off and on again it just takes the whole thing in pink.
flash doesnt help.
Ill try to do more testing and see how i can recreate it
Had you bothered to take 30 seconds to look in the forum (less time than it took you to post) you'd see that this is already under discussion. Absolutely no need to start a 3rd (4th?) thread about it at all.
actually yes. but i guess i was using the wrong keywords sorry mate
speaking of which, there are some good threads there that could be good stickies.
Thanks !

So Yesterday for no reason at all my 8525's screen went white. i thought it had frozen or some thing but it didn't snap out of it. I pressed the ok button on the side and could hear noise. I decided to restart. Nothing. Did this like 7 times. Finally I let it sit without the battery for like an hour. I worked but the colors were all messed up. Reset and it worked fine. So i set my alarm went to sleep and woke this morning to an email and a white screen. Turning it on and off a couple of times did it and I was already frustrated.
Then I read on a forum about Activesync automatically opening throughout the day to try and connect. So I tweaked that to manual connections. Still the same. So I decided to take advantage of the warranty but I needed to set back my rom b/c as you already know, it voids it. Also thinking that re-flashing might get rid of whatever it was failing in. No, still the same, and now worse. As or an hour ago, my navigation pad doesn't work either. It actually works for about a second when I turn it on and then after I press anything on the pad or surrounding buttons, it's gone.
I really would like to fix it myself at least for now and use the warranty exchange at about 11 months but if theres nothing I can do, I guess I can go get a new one. Also, I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I downloaded Google Maps to my phone yesterday on the road (through 3G) and that was the only new program installed( I think it mightve been this).
Has this happened to anyone else?
Any help would be much appreciated. I hope I explained enough for anyone to respond. Thank you in advance to anyone with anything really.
Actually if you do a search under white screen you'll find many entries. Any attempt to fix yourself will void the warranty. If you are lucky it may only be the d-pad connector that is loose. This it is possible to check yourself but if have a warranty then I suggesting using it.
Otherwise see the link to my site in my signature for dismantling and service manual guides.

Thanks. You know I think I will take advantage of the warranty sometime this week. I don't know what happened. But I'm to update my situation. It now seems as though my directional pad seems to be the problem. it glitches on and off and using it sometimes creates the fade-out to white screen. I have to let it go to standby on its own to get my screen back or play around turning it on and off for a bit.
Also, once i re-installed me ATT rom with no applications, my screen seems to be off. I have a 1/32th sliver of the bottom of the screen at the top of my touchscreen. Even in landscape it shows my scroll bar and everything. I didn't even drop it but it is now slightly skewed down. Any input on this?
I also found this website talking about the same problem having with and unorthodox solution (which I tried to no avail). Here's the link if anyone want to check this out. http://www.htcwiki.com/page/AT&T+8525+Display+issues:+Display+is+dim,+blank,+white,+has+lines,+etc.?t=anon
Anyways, I'm gonna call ATT about this see if they can help but I think I will replace, I just didn't want to so soon.
Thanks again for the quick answer.

Everything they suggest on that site you have tried I guess, the soft and hard resets etc.
I agree with you about the d-pad (directional buttons). Those with this problem often report that the d-pad or it's connector are re;lated to this issue.
Pleased you have chosen the warranty route. You see evn if you opened it up, it can work for a short while and then return again. Also push hard for replacement not repair. They may do this automatically but if not try to persuade them. The reason is that quite a few folks have reported that even after an HTC repair the problem can come back. Actually I think there may be more than one physical cause of this issue and sorting one thing does not mean it won't come back via another route.
The good news is, if you get a good one as I did on the second attempt, I never had white screen or alignment issues - despite heavy use.
Mike
Once again, thank you Mike for all your input. I will be issuing an order for replacement instead of repair. Being at work all day today I've seen that it hasn't "whited' out, if you will, but has actually kept working. Ever so often the d-pad goes but comes back in a few seconds. It may be due to the WM6 i had on it so for now i will keep the original ATT upgrade of WM5 and try to hold off on the warranty as long as I can before it expires. That way I can enjoy a healthy new 8525 longer.
For now I will keep looking around in these forums and see if there ever is a solid solution. Thanks again, and good luck with all.

Im starting to think the conection for the screen is faulty.
But I'd rather know for sure than send the phone off for weeks to be fixed only to be told they wont do it
The colours have been going pink/purple ish, and the whole picture has been jumping to the right.
It happenes for a while, but when I switch the screen off a few times it fixes the problem.
Is the conection for the screen around the bottom of the device? where the buttons are?
Because it seems to happen when I press hard around that area.
Id rather know for sure before I start opening it up
If it happens again, ill throw up a photo if it will be of any help.
Thanks
SORRY
thinking about it, this thread should have gone into 'HD2 Q&A' - But I forgot it was there!
Feel free to move it mods
Booooiinnggggg!
Come on people help me out
Names have been changed to protect the innocent
Enter Power Control widget... Added Brightness to the widget on the Angel recovery Rom.
While on a call Booger is playing around on the phone and hits the Brightness widget to see the three settings it has....
Screen goes black (literally!), Booger thinks nothing of it and finishes the call he is on.
Booger not able to get brightness back. The nightmare begins....
Wipe and Reset nothing....
Mr. Odin didn't help with Stock... not even An Angel could fix this... no light in sight!
Booger decides to try and be crafty and Throws Mr Galaxy i9000 on there to fix the issue or maybe Mr. Galaxy s "pit" would solve the issue by erasing the Fascinating memory... Works, but it shows yellow and red when it tries to do the wipe...
Booger turns to Mr. Vibrant and his 'pit' or recovery....
We now have the story of the Homicide of Mr. Fascinate! Lucifer (The white and red VZ) decides to grant Booger with a New Fascinating Body.
Moral of this poorly written story? Don't use anything to mess with Brightness except stock Widget or Tool! And never ever turn of usb debugging!
Yikes, sorry to hear about that. I was luckily able to recover from an extended fight after flashing the i9000 kernel.. It was a nightmare, but I got it back.

dude i just lived this horror story with the app Power Manager from the market...turned my screen completely black reboot to recovery and wipe data-nothing, restore system through odin, nothing. going to the store tomorrow for a replacement- i am livid.
listen to these warnings, dont f*** with the brightness
I will never turn usb debugging off. If you have it on you can fix it! I posted something about creating screen-cast. By doing that you can see everything you do on the phone on the pc. Let me know if you have it turned on. Don't get creative and flash anything else!
I'm glad some of you got this goofy cryptic story. I have my reasons for not making it 100% clear. I wanted to give a warning, but without being to obvious about certain things. I have a certain connection with "The Devil"
The root options never worked with my DX, but maybe Droid Explorer, Android Commander or the like would work as well.
I had the same problem I got a new one a few days ago

Is the threat of this total darkness issue (via brightness widgets) something that is unique to rooted Fascinates only?
...or is this a potential problem with stock 2.1 ROM Fascinates as well?

I did it to an unrooted phone. Don't mess with brightness widgets.
Brightness = serious business

If you have the time, a link or instructions would be nice. This black screen problem keeps happening to people.
chopper the dog said:
I use the one called "Backlight!" but when I installed and saw the default value levels of 0,50,150,255 and saw a zero that instantly threw up a red flag. Before using widget I just edited the custom brightness levels to 34,65,103 which translates to 13%,25%,45%. Are there other devices where you could assign the toggle to a hard button? That's the only way I can see having a 0 default level on a device.

My expirience from another thread, but I didn't get burned.
good day.
I had the exact same thing happen to me after installing powermanager. The only thing that saved me was the fact powermanager has default settings for different power sources. So although i botched my battery setting and it went black, i was saved by the fact i could plug into a pc our AC power and get the brightness back up to where i could fix the battery setting.
HOpe this helps spare some people some trouble.

Do you work for Verizon?
Sorry but curiosity takes over with anything resembling a riddle
Screen cast seems like the perfect tool for this problem..assuming you have debugging on of course.
Just wanted to post this here, because when I was googling "screen brightness android" looking for a way to decrease the brightness on the amoled screen of the fascinate this page came up, but it didn't have the answer I was looking for.
I have pretty sensitive eyes like most of you on this thread (otherwise you wouldn't be looking for a dimmer), so reducing the brightness on the Fascinate was a must.
I found this app, called screen filter. Don't really know too much about it other than it works fantastically well and its free. Reduces brightness to almost nothing if you want, and the app functions as a widget for toggling as well.
So anyway, just wanted to post this for other people like myself, looking for a way to dim the lights. I don't have enough reputation to post a link, but just look up screen filter in the app market and you'll be good to go. For some reason it doesn't come up when you search for "dimmer" or "brightness", which is a shame.
Hi guys!
A few of you mentioned that it beneficial to have USB debugging on in such situations. a little bit off topic, but I just in the middle of dealing with USB problem on SF. I been able to get in download mode at one point and flash odin. Now my comp able to see phone. Is there any tools to exploit this debug mode? What information I can get in debug mode? I'm trying to collect as much information about problem as possible, just to make sure I'm not going to have it in the future.
Scenario: I was playing... air hockey...and you know how that game can get intense?! Well I was jumping up and down and somebody was calling me but I was too into it to check it. Then it stopped and someone (Maybe same person) called again so I paused the game and checked my phone, it was just a black screen. The lights on the capacitive buttons were working, buttons were working (because the phone was vibrating) and the actual phone was still working but just couldn't see anything. I pulled the battery, turned it back on, put it in my pocket and started playing again. At the end of the game (Yeah, I lost) I checked and it was still black. The screen wasn't off, it was just black LED's I guess. I could scroll to unlock and everything, and now its just stuck like that. Stuck as in I can't see anything...
Not really asking for help because I think the phone messed up, but I'm just saying that the phone might not be perfectly built, or atleast mine wasn't...
T-Mobiles closed right now so I'ma call tomorrow morning.

Wrong Forum? But this situation is DEVELOPING as we speak...
It is an interesting DEVELOPMENT, to say the least.
Maybe he should take pictures and have them DEVELOPED so we have a better understanding!
I had a similar issue but when starting the phone, I would just get a black screen but with the capacitive buttons working but no widgets and no access to apps. Menu options works because I was able to access settings but that's about it. A guy from tmobile forum told me to do a factory reset as maybe it just a minor hiccup in the phone manufacturing so I did and ever since, I have not seen the black screen and I have done a few reboots just to check. Goodluck!
No I just can't see anything. It's like all the LED's are black, I can't factory reset it or anything. Unless someone can do it without looking at the screen....
same thing literally just happened to be about 20 minutes ago. i am extremely frustrated. the screen is just black but its like i can move around on the phone. does anyone know whats going on???
Hey guys,
After another freeze, I was able to actually connect via ADB. The shell was working fine.
Anyways, I did a logcat, and I saw the attached code looping.
http://pastebin.com/DV3uVYJg
It just keeps looping on these audio logs.
Any thoughts?
Anyone else get logcats similar or different than this?

Hi!, I have been having problems with my phone camera for a whyle (2 years aprox). Since I started using lolipop and marshmallow roms the camera hasn't been working fine. Actually it doesn't even work. I would post some images but this is my first post and XDA doesn't let me, so i will describe it the best I can. When I open the camera app, all I see is white, after a while some pink dots start to appear. This dots multiply all over the screen and thats all I get. If I zoom in this pink dots gets bigger, and look like pixels, like it's some sort of digital filter, and not what the camera is capturing. If I wait long enough, and point the camera into a light, the image gets clearer and it starts to show something. I am now using Dirty Unicorns 10.6. It's a D806 model, but inside the phone, it says it's a D805. I have always used D802 roms.
It looks like is a hardware issue, but everytime I go back to KK stock, this problem stops and the camera works just fine, then when I flash a custom rom after some weeks, this problem starts again. Also I have searched a lot and it seems like no one has this problem. If i try to film a video, the app crashes and it saw "it couldn't conect to the camera" but in the normal mode if I touch the screen, I can see the lens moving, like it's adjusting it's focus
Do you have any idea of what could it be?. I dont know if this is important but I have bricked my phone several times, to the point where one time even the download mode was broken, and when I pluged the phone into the computer, windows detected like 60 particions. I fixed this via pushing some files into the phone using ubuntu, and then doing the same thing in windows with a tool I found here in XDA.
Thanks, and sorry if my english is not the best, is not my native language.
