Hi,
when my wizard is in portrait mode the screen goes totally white.
when I slide it a little bit(towards landscape mode) the picture comes back, but if I slide it again towards portrait mode it goes white again.
I tried soft/hard reset and it is still the same.
in bootloader screen it is the same: when the screen is closed(meaning all the way towards portrait) the screen is white and when I slide it a little bit the 3 color screen appears...
b.t.w I don't think it has to do something with the rom cause every thing was alright till recently
Does any one know what I need to do?
Thanks
Alon
Please anyone...it's getting worse.
now I can only see the screen somewhere in the middle between portrait and landscape mode...
I went to the store and the guy said he thinks it's the flat cable...is it expensive?is it hard to fix it alone?
I agree that it is probably the ribbon/flat cable (called an FPC cable in the guide below), but I don't really know anything about disassembling the phone/fixing it.
This post has links to a disassembly/reassembly guide which may or may not help:

Guys,
First off - Way to go Mods - its great to have a TyTN only forum at last!
Ok my problem is -
When i 'awake' my TyTN, the screen is sometimes in landscape mode, even though the device has teh keyboard shut and is being used in the portrait mode.
Is this a part of teh infamous alignment bug? And does anyone know of a fix?
ptm
As far as I know, this seems to happen when the device is being used with the case. It seems that the magnet in the belt clip makes the phone go to landscape.

aaah....now that would make sense. it seems to have started when I used the case.
I like using a case. Are there any recommendations for adecent replacement?
Thanks for helping out fella!
Been using the case since got the phone.
Sometimes it does indeed be in landscape mode when I take
it out, but it always reset to portrait mode as soon as I get it out.
Happens to me too.

So after installing the WM6 ROM Core 2.0 and using it for a while i started to get this white screen, after using it for about a month, that would keep on appearing if unless i had the keyboard slightly slid out. So i decided to switch to Faria's Pro ROM Kitchen hoping it would fix it, but it didn't. This white screen that keeps popping up covers the entire screen and nothing i do seems to make it stop. This screen is really annoying especially when trying to watch movies and when coming out of wakeup and receiving phone calls, as it covers the whole screen not allowing me to see. Is there a way to fix this so this white screen does not keep coming up. I would really appreciate the Help.
What do you mean exactly by "white screen coming up" ???
Does your screen turn blanc or is there a window popping up?
If you can do the following without having too much trouble with backing up and stuff like that: install you shipped ROM for a while and see if it still appears!
Other than that I guess there is a hardware problem!
Well its a blank screen that covers up the whole screen its not like a window the whole screen just turns white. I did install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM when i switched to Faria's WM6 ROM, but it still was there for the short time i had it.
Do you have your phone passworded? That causes a white screen to come up just after you wake your phone if you don't have it set to ask for the password upon wakeup. It usually goes away after about half a second but maybe yours is sticking there for some reason. Try turning off your password and see if that fixes it. You may not want to keep your phone without password protection but at least you'll know whats causing the white screen. You might also try changing the "prompt if device unused for" to a longer duration and see if that maybe helps.
well i dont have a password set, so i dont think it is the password, the thing is that it doesnt only come up after wakeup, if the device does not have the keyboard slid out slightly it will come up just after about 40 secs. Sometimes it comes up right in the middle of me doing something like changing some options. If i have the keyboard slid out all the way it will do the same thing. It only does not come up if the first rows of keys at the bottom of the keyboard are visible. Has this happened to anyone else? is there a way to fix this?
Someone help PLEASE.
Sounds like your phone is undecided whether it wants to go into portrait or landscape mode..
What do you mean? if my phone has the keyboard closed then after about 20-40 secs the entire screen will turn white, then when i slide the keyboard out just slightly the screen goes away, and as long as i have the keyboard slightly slid out the screen wont turn white. I am thinking of sending my MDA in to get a Wing, does anyone know if i am allowed to do this since my MDA is acting werid?
Hey guys... I'm having a lot of troubles with the lcd screen on my 8525 and this start about a month ago.. I've had this phone for almost one year... bought it as a refurb.
1. when i'm using the phone portrait mode the screen alignment would be perfect... however when i slide the keyboard open the screen goes to landscape and my alignment would be completely off. Heres the interesting part... say if it is still in landscape and i align it then.. it would work perfectly in landscape but then when i close the keyboard and go back to portrait the alignment would be extremely off again.
2. now when i'm in portrait mode and i go to start -> settings -> system -> screen and switch the screen to landscape (w.o sliding the keyboard open) the screen would be perfectly aligned... but when i slide the keyboard open... the alignment would be completely off again... now if i align it while it is in landscape (keyboard open) and go to start..settings..system..screen and change it to portrait the alignment would be perfect... but when i close the keyboard.... it would be off again...
is there anyway i can fix this? I've done a hard reset and flashed the firmware all over again... btw i'm using WM6 from the htc website. if anyone can help...lemme know what i have to do....
thankz
p.s my phones starts with s/n ht649.
Can't say I've seen that reported before. Sounds software based. You could try backing up and hard resetting.
Mike
I already tried that.. it didn't work.
Sorry, my bad - you clearly said you had done that already.
I can't fathom what hardware problem there could be. The magnet orientation switch is clearly fine it seems the X Y co-ords are not swapping over - but that seems a software matter, yet your hard reset suggests hardware - Im stumped.
Mike
If the whole screen is moving, including the start menu etc,
I have seen this before, when building my phone, if the lcd ribbon cable is not alligned perfectly this can occur... but resetting the device did not resolve the issue in this instance.
Cheers
Steve
So I guess I'll have to take it to a cellphone repair shop and have it looked at. I just hope it won't cost too much... the phone was a refurb and i got it for $100. Do you guys have any other suggestions?
Lifted up my locked phone when i got a text notification and the sceen went into landscape mode (I lifted it in that orientation). Half the screen was corrupted. i turned the phone into portrait orientation and the screen adjusted (no corruption) then I went back to landscape and the screen changed again, this time with not ocorruption. I unlocked it in landscape and the Today screen appeard in portrait. Sent myself a text to see if this was repetable and it's not. May have been a gliche in BSB Tweaks or something but it was an "interesting" moment.
Does anyone know of a too, (that actually works) that auto-switched the Today screen? I still miss not having a rotatable home screen.
Sorry my post may go against the rules of this forum by not talking about Windows Phone 7 Series or porting Android to HD2

My screen ocasionally shakes and turns half white and half with black stripes on a white background, it recoveres after i put it in standby.
I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem because if i press the phone (i press the top part against the qwerty keyboard part) the shaking goes off but the screen still turns white. I have sean a video on youtube on how to fix this but i don;t know how true it is and i don;t belive that is the solution. back home i have a spare motherboard... but home is farrrr away so i am looking for another solution.
I changed the rom thinking that was causing it but it was not. i am thinking about overclocking the cpu , maybe that will help ( you can see that i am desperate )
I hope you can come up with a solution.
thank you for taking your time to read my post.
since i did the trick presented on youtube i don;t have that screen shaking problem.. this is 1st day , i will come back after a week and tell you if it really works
