is it my screen or the ROM?

hi everyone, this is my first official post on the forums, and well i need ur help on my phone, for some reason when i slide my phone the screen shows like random lines etc, then when i slide it back it does the same, and itll take like a good 30 mins to get the screen right to its proper look, usually itll show like blue, or green, and even sometimes i get that "White Screen" where id see it everytime i slide or slide it back so idk, and even when i soft reset, either the screen is out of line or itll show those random lines again also to add to that sometimes the soft keys on the front dont work at times soo idk if its the ROM i just put in which was from T-Mobile or my screen :/.....i need ur help, cuz i might consider getting the screen replace or load the bootloader....appreciate the help and btw heres my video i just posted to give a good clearance of what im talking about and when i show the phone up close im fiddling with the power button to show how it is, thnx
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2Lnwzqkt8k

im sure its the rom, i used pdaviet's rom and it did that ****. i replaced it with a different rom and it never did it again.

well i just redid everything and EVEN on the bootloader still had the whacky look on the screen...

ok well i put the old rom, the one that came with when i first got it, and still no luck....could it be a faulty screen connection? or the screen dying? and btw the phone has a real irritating noise.... and also on bootup he screen wont be aligned....idk what to do...

God..... Vital information you didnt put in... if you hear the noise, then its a goner. it prolly has a leaky capacitor, or the screen is some how desoldered and shorting out the board.

well whats the best bet? should i get this repaired as soon as possible???? or get a new one? and doubt bout the second reason, cuz the noise stops when my screen is off(of course) and sometimes when its in portrait mode, ya the screen would be on and would be white but none of that hating noise

Stuck on "Stick Together" screen for no apparent reason

This is odd. I'm running a stock TMOUS ROM, haven't done anything out of the ordinary, and my phone froze up (which happens several times a day) so I unplugged the battery to reset and now I'm stuck at the "Stick together" screen.
All other cases of this that I've seen are from people's unsuccessful attempts at flashing a new ROM, but I'm running the stock T-mobile rom that I've been running for 2 months.
Please help. Id rather leave hard resetting as a later resort, since I dont really want to reinstall my apps and reset all of my tweaks, but if it comes to that so be it.
Oh, and the only thing different that I did was install the new bing maps mobile app that came out this morning. I did that several hours before the freeze...

Update:
I got impatient and hardreset despite my reservations to do so, and it's booting up now.
Well there's clearly no better time to flash a new rom than now... Off to the drawing board.

Take the battery out and make sure the pins are not bent, usually this is what happens when they are, the phone keeps rebooting itself but never fully starts. Gets to a tmo logo and restarts.
Edit: glad it works now, on my old one i had this problem and it was due to that...

mine did that once, took the batt out like twice more....then i just left it for like 15 mmin and it booted up

Can someone tell me if the 3 pins on HD2 for the battery are all aligned up horizontally or is 1 higher thn 2 and 3 is way up there?
Kind of like --- or _ -

Thanks that helps

I am having the same issue. I have dutty's rom.It had been working fine and then I got the issue where the screen wouldn't light up so I took out the battery and now it won't go past the boot screen with the stick together and doesn't even display the three things at the bottom left hand corner.

I did hard reset and still stuck on stick together, and my pisn don't appear bent.

How long have you been running his ROM?

3-4 weeks. It was working fine and now it just shows the stick together and not the rgd at the bottom riight. I can get to the HSPL boot loader, but I don't think I have installed any programs the last week or so. I guess I could try task 29 etc, but it seems kind of strange i would have the problem all of a sudden.

[Q] Android wont run anymore after HD2 has been repaired

I've got a problem. two weeks ago I sent my HD2 to be repaired.. it had those white bright spots on the screen. Now I've got it back (they replaced the screen) but Android doesn't work anymore :S
I installed HSPL again, flashed chuckydroidrom and as far as I know all the settings are the same. Still when I try to boot android haret runs normally... then I get a black screen with some small text in the upper left part of the screen telling me that windows is being shutted off and some android parts are starting. After that the text gets a copy of the text behind it in purple and green. and after that the text fades away, leaving a full lit up black screen behind.. Then is doesn't do anything anymore..
I don't understand why it behaves differently after being repared and I don't understand why the android booting stops. as I said. I use Chuckydroidrom, HSPL 1.42.HSPL and I tried several different versions of android. Mdeejay desire Z-rom, and ofcourse my favorite mattc 1.8. plz help
SOLVED. thanks, thread can be closed or removed

[Q] Vertical line and/or white screen while unlocking Android

I've searched around the forum and the whole Google results. Found nothing about it. Every time I unlock my HD2 (Android on SD - now Hyperdroid CM7 2.1.0 rom but used to happen with every other) I see, for just an istant, a vertical yellow/green line on the screen after which the lockscreen appears. It's pretty annoying but what I'm really concerned about is that it could be a sign of an almost broken screen! I'm trying to find a solution as soon as possible because I know is a software related problem (only with Android, none on WM6.5). Thanks to anyone who'll try to help me! I'll take a picture as soon as I'm able to lend a good cam! In the meanwhile keep in mind these things:
- It only happens while unlocking the screen (vertical line on black background then lockscreen)
- Sometimes the screen becomes completely "whitey" (You can distinguish icons, text etc. but the screen seems to be made of white LCs! Weird!). Can't do anything but reboot. I'll try to take a picture of that too!
I repeat: this doesn't happen with Windows Mobile! So it's not the screen itself.

The first issue I don't know. The second, if you mean by white, everything is in similarity to white/grey/light pink/purple, then it is common. Just reboot.

screen starts glowing from center out when turning on and glows from out to center when turning off, it sounds like you are talking about the screen-on and screen-off animations in cyangenmod settings/display options.

@montecarlo5: Well, I'm not talking about those animations My screen doesn't glow in or out. It simply shows this vertical line then the lockscreen appears. That's all. Oh and I disabled all the animations
@Kailkti: I supposed it was very common. But what I'm concerned about is that it could damage the screen. Can it?
Thanks for your answers!

I have this problem too..... only with Android system, none with WM6.5.
I have attached a pic as well...

I had this problem once.. when I unlock the phone (running on Android, can't remember which ROM) and everything was in white.. I was like.. WTF? I can still see icons, but everything was like real whitish.. some sort of blown up screen or something like that.
Thought my screen has busted, touch still works, so I rebooted and never seen that thing again.. phew!

HD2 Black screen after a call?

Is there a fix for this? No matter what rom I use, Didn't try Froyo, but after receiving a call, the screen stays black, so I spam the hard keys to wake the screen after about a minute or so. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem with 2 HD2 phones. Not aways, but most of the time. I ask this question before - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349809 , but i didn't get the answer.
May be it is hardware problem, but if it is it's gonna make me a problems every time.
If you figure it out, pls PM me.

Once in a while i have the same problem, but when I clean the screen (until it looks shiny ) and it gets better…
(I clean mostly the top of the screen)
I don’t believe it is the “solution” but works for me…

If you push the End button (or any other button) before clean the screen, what happens. Does the screen stays black???
I think that this is a software problem, because other ways every time when I press the End button (or any other button) it will give me Nothing.

I have the exact same problem. I am using the SD card android version. I've tried different ROMs, but with all I have this problem. When I boot into WinMo I don't have this problem at all, so it doesn't seem to be hardware related.
I can use the phone with anything else without any problem using the SD android version, only when I recieve a call or call out myself the screen blacks out and the phone seems unresponsive. After about 30 seconds to a minute the phone shows the lock screen.
I would love to work with the Android version for normal operation but because of this I still boot into Winmo within office hours...

Your better off doing what I did. In Android, sonewhere in the settings for calling, change the sensor to off so it never blacks out. In Miui rom its in program's, then calls.

Task 29 and start fresh. Only thing that got rid of it, test when you first start the rom to make sure it works normal, then start adding your apps and such.
Or increase the 125mhz CPU settings to 245mhz under cyanogenmod settings/performance/CPU or governor settings.

my screen stay black (off) when i take the phone away from my face EVERY call as well. this is what i do and it works everytime.
1.)pull the phone away from my face (duh)
2.)starting with it facing the sky, i turn it to face the floor (when i say facing i mean screen up ... then screen down)
3.)as soon as i turn it back over (screen face up) it turns on
im thinking its a sensor issue??? either way it works and i dont go on a hardware button mash fest to turn my precious leo back on.
if this helps please send thanks ... if not tell me im crazy :-D

I just download this apk and will try it ....
But I think it's hardware problem (may be with the sensor), because when I turn back on Win Mobile 6.5 i have the same problen ...
I think to bring the phone to service
... when I take it back will tell you what is exactly the problem ...

Task 29 then install windows, next install the right radio version , finally install the android

like dragonovus say´s try completly reinstalling android.
and please feedback here

BUILD.PROP baby!!! there is a tweak for this and i believe it works( in the prop ) dont know exact address but google "build prop tweaks" also use setCPU and set the lower number to about 350+ also try to use the end hardware button less cuz this has been addressed in another thread..... the button sticks or sum crap..... i use zmooth and never use the red end button........... good luck

Will try all, but now I use ' Screen stays on '

well ... for me Screebl Lite didn't help me

Reinstalling Windows is not necessary. Just make sure you have the right Radio and HSPL then do a task 29 before installing Android. But your problem is most likely hardware related. The end call button is most used and therefore prown the wear and tear... Try using the red end cal softbutton. I guess you only have that problem when you use the hardware button right?
In that case it's the problem with the button and not the software...

And at the end did anyone of u solved this? If u need help post reply or pm me. I think i have a solution for u.

Yes, man! I have the HSPL2.08 and radio 2.15.50.14 ... I think we all do. I can't use the soft buttons, because I can't see them. That's is the problem. The screen is black and won't lights up. May be I can't read you ... but I try to run back Win Mobile just to check is it from android OS or the sensor...

build.prop does not help
I tried the build.prop thing. I added those 2 lines at the end of the file:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
mot.proximity.delay=25
No change, still a black screen after any call.
Any other idea ? How to completely deactivate the proximity sensor ?

Fixed !
I finally fixed the issue by removing the screen protector sheet and cleaning the upper left part of the screen with a dry towel.
It works fine now. It was just a problem of the proximity sensor not being exposed enough.
I hope this helps.
