Screen alignment issues... any ideas?

Okey dokey guys, I'm really sorry if this has been posted before, did have a look around but couldn't see anything...
Recently, my screen started to lose alignment quite frequently. Would take about a day before i had to realign. Then it was down to about 2 hours, then pretty much immediately after i'd aligned, it would need redoing.
Reflashed to another ROM yesterday, hoping that would sort it, but no luck. I'm on Laurentius's new ROM.
I'm thinking it's an old unit and probably needs fixing, but though i'd see if anyone else has experienced this, and maybe there's a quick fix?
Thanks in advance for thoughts.

How about the screen protector? Is it new or old? I had an experience once with my Sony TH55/E1 when appying a screen protector, it had the same effect as yours. The screen protector was too thick in my case.

I had exactly the same problem with my XDA2i, I have just had it replaced under insurance for an Exec because of it. The screen became loose after I dropped it and could be moved slightly, causing the misalignments.

Strange colors on HD2 screen. HELP

I have HD2 since 2 months ago and it worked perfectly till a few days ago when the screen appears with some strange colors, not the normal ones. The touch screen works perfectly and the phone works ok. It's just that the colours are different from the original ones. Then after a few minutes or so it comes back to normal.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.

did it fell off the ground before ?

nope, never felt down

any idea?

maybe your LCD flexband/cable is not tight fit in the slot..under the lcd-glass
had that before with sony cellphone
i would take it to service if you dont want to loose warranty.

yes, I a agree powerslave69
After receiving back my Laptop from repair's (manufacture). A week later your problem came about. It was discovered by manufacture on return that the 'Wire Tape' connection was lose at one end between graphics card and screen. So when the Laptop was first repaired it was overlooked that the connection not right when the manufacture put it back together.
Best to send It back right now and they should replace it with a new one
Problem gone !!

Had the same (I think) problem. The colours on the screen went "blurry" & lost it's sharpness. Took it to service and they just re-flashed it with the newest ROM. Don't think that's the right solution to the problem though...

i already tried to flash it with the newst rom available on htc web site but it didn't work.
I brought the phone to the service. I'll let you know.
Thank you.

just curious, did you happen to have a custom rom with 576MB of ram enabled?
see this thread h t t p : / / forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677979

no, it's the original rom. never applied a custom rom

Did you get this sorted out?
I think im having the same problem, since about a week ago i get horizontal bands of discolouration across the screen, at first it seemed to only affect Sense, but now any program running shows these bands of colour (like a purple colour band across the screen). Sometimes it is fine but now seems to be mostly like this.
Still on the original ROM...

Has anyone sorted out this issue ?? Cos now mine is having the same problems...
I have checked around on other forums and no one seems to have the problem.
oh, and my HD2 is out of warranty, so I hope it won't cost a fortune if ihave to get it fixed....

Sorry for digging up an old thread but:
another one with strange colors over here. White is whit, black is black, but green, red and blue look a lot "paler". The colors are much less vibrant then they used to be.
The backlight of my hardware powerkey stopped working a thesame time. Other hardware buttons are fine...
question is.. will this get fixed under warranty? Anyone had thesame issue and sent his phone out to be repaired?

same problem now and then...someone help
if i apply a little preassure near the bessels or the usb port...screen becomes normal but you can never say when the problem might appear again...help !

Seems like a loose contact on display ribbon cable. It happens after caring the phone long time in pockets usually in the summer when it's hot and sweat can enter in the phone. Contacts don't like moisture, in special sweat, it's corrosive. In addition, when caried in back pockets it will be slightly deformed and it is the second cause of that failure.

Strange colors on HD2 screen
I had a similar problem a while ago, horizontal green/yellow bands across the screen. At first it was intermittent but then became permanent. I had to send it back to HTC for a fix.

Weird colour problem on screen

Hi all,
I dropped my phone yesterday, oops! Its all working fine apart from the screen. There is a problem with the blue colour.
I'm using Android from the SD card, and from using any program where you can change the colour of an item, I can tell the blue colour is screwed up. There are 3 sliders, RGB to change the colour. With R and G at 0, sliding the blue scale should go from black to full bright blue. It kind of does this but its appears near full bright blue half way, then drops back to black just after half way and goes back up to bright blue at full scale again. Very weird.
Anyone heard of this before? Any suggestions to fix? Its all working absolutely fine apart from this blue colour wierdness.
Thanks for any help.

thats no problem it aint serious actualy its no problem at all...ur hd2 is fine

Err...nope there is definately a problem, its not fine. All the colours are wrong due to the blue component in them being incorrect I think. I have quite a few blue wallpapers, and basically wherever there is supposed to be light blue, its completely wrong. It looks awful, not just those wallpapers but everything is slightly the wrong colour.

Sounds like your HD2 is having a hardware iue due to what is called mechanical shock (being dropped). You should send it in for warranty repair or replacement if it is still under warranty.

What could actually be wrong with the phone, that I could replace to fix it, any idea?
Anyone know how long the warrranty is for O2 uk? I bought the phone Dec 09 I think when they first came out.

You might want to let someone else post to make sure. But I have read several times here I the HD2 forums that O2 gives you a two year warranty were as my provider T-Mobile only gives us a one year warranty.

[Q] TV-LIKE(snowy) screen , any help with that? It must be a design defect

Hi all dear members. Since the first day i bought this phone i've been seeing lots of screen issues about it but i never thought i would have one. It's proved me wrong.
So here's my problem, my device has developed halo all around it when the bg color gets grey. Most of the time , it's not obvious. I can live with that. Recently, my screen starts to show me some tv-like stripes every now and then, it doesn't last long. after one second or two, it disappera and then it'll show from time to time.
I'm afraid it's just the start. It's similar to most of the issue ppl claim as screen flikering or screen jittering or shaking screen, it's a bit different though.
Has anyone encountered the same issue. More importantly, has anyone found any solutions yet? I searched google and failed to find answers. And i looked into it on Baidu,a chinese search engine, where i found some answers that claims it's not the screen issue ,instead , it's just the ribbon cable is lose. And anyone who replace a new screen for that is stupid.I'm just not sure about this.
My phone was bought on the internet and shipped to China, thus, I don't have warranty to rely on. And my phone is only 10 months old. I never dropped it and i have kept it well.(LG logo on the rear back still falls off), I just don't get why LG made this so vulnerable.
Even though i have ordered the nexus 6, my g2 running CM12 is still crazily fast and I don't want to give up on it. I'm so happy about my d802 except for all issues about the screen.
Any help would be aprreciated. Thanks again. Hi all dear members. Since the first day i bought this phone i've been seeing lots of screen issues about it but i never thought i would have one. It's proved me wrong.

Hi, I also have a problem with the screen on my lg g2, appeared to me that the white line disappears and comes back, when I do print screen and transfer the image on the computer that line is not visible, and that line is not always the same intenziteta.Try to do print screen and set an image or we send the mail to compare the problem

i'm so pissed about the screen, yes, my gnex bought 3 years ago looks yellow and ****ty. but other than that, totally fine, but for g2, ive read so many complaints about it. Guess no one has figured it out. Maybe I will open my phone and try to figure out when the screen completely goes crazy. During I type, it has happed for 4 times . so very annoying.

I think you should try to put in some rom, I hope it's a software problem, I found the solution for my phone cloudy g3:good:

i flash different cm12 nightlies. i don't think its a software related issue. I'm not the only one with this issue. Yesterday I opened this phone ,well with my fingernails. And coz I didn't have the right screwdriver, I wasn't able to open that black cover at the button down bellow the battery, but I cleared the places around the USB port and there's a black tape glued near the camera , I pressed it and I put the phone together and guess what, the problem was gone for one day, and I will continue to keep an eye on it.

[HUAWEI P10 LITE] Screen burn, ghost images, but it's temporal

I'm new to this forum, so I posted in general this problem I'm having since I don't know which category fits for this.
I know this forum is for software-related topics, but I've found hardware questions as well, so I guess this should be fine.
Basically, some time ago my phone started having this problem, which I suspect is hardware related, which is what they call screen burn.
Funny thing is, people usually say this problem is permanent, but in my case it's just temporal.
Sometimes my screen is working just fine, and suddenly starts flickering. If I try to switch apps, a "ghost image" of the other app stays there in the background, and until the screen refreshes, it takes time, or maybe I have to switch my screen on-off again, etc.
Another times It turns white, but I still can use my phone properly.
I've identified it's just a screen issue, because as I said, I can actually use my phone fine, but I have this flickers and ghost images. These ghost images are actually the most annoying problem when they happen.
To do some testing, I downloaded a burn-in test app to check every colour, and I've noticed that most colours work fine, but just the white and grey were weird? Like, maybe in the top of the screen the colour wouldn't show, but in the rest of the screen it was working.
Other times, the screen starts to display "colour lines" in front of everything, and after some time they disappear.
Want I want to know is, is this a hardware problem, or software? I guess it's hardware, I'd find it weird to be software.
If so, changing the screen would fix this ghost images and flickers? I haven't tried changing a phone screen before, but I can just buy one and there are videos for my model on how to change the screen so I could do it.
What I want to know is, how to fix this, and If replacing the screen would do. I honestly am against the consumerism trend of throwing away phones, so I at least want to try.
Thanks.

Hi...
so it could be software or hardware based.
first i would make a full backup and then try to completly reset the firmware and check if the issue is done
if not...it could be the screen or the mainboard or the connector to the mainboard.
at first i would try to change the screen to a new one. mostly the screen have problems. if that not work it can be the mainboard...for a buying a mainboard i would look at ebay for a completly damage devices just to remove the mainborad there and to buod in to your Device
hope that helps you

I commented my problem with a friend who studied CS with me, and he told me after seeing the phone that in his opinion it's likely the screen. I think so too.
It's ebay a decent play for buying a screen? Or better aliexpress? I've seen screens for huawei p10 lite in aliexpress

Hi...
Idk if ebay or Alie would be better. I would take a look wich one could send it fastest to me and if it is original Part or from another manufacture.

Hello, I've been experiencing same kind of issues in recent months and I'm interested how the story continued and did fixing the screen was the solution?
Thanks in advance.
