The LCD on my G2 seems to be faulty. The backlight turns on, the buttons function, but I can't see anything. I've tried to take the battery in and out, and even tried to do a hard reset, but the screen won't show the options for the hard reset. Does anyone else have this problem?

For some unknown reason after I press the power button to bring the phone back out of standby the screen is defaulting to the power save setting for the backlight (which means no backlight/dark screen) I have to goto the brightness setting under backlight and slide the bar back to the middle in order to light the screen. It never did this before and I did not change anything. It would just come back on tho the normal backlight setting (in the middle of the bar). If anyone knows why this would happen or if there is a setting in the reg I can do. Please help as I really do not want to do a hard reset and reload everything. I did do a soft reset, but it did not do anything.
Wish I could help. I have had that happen several times. Sometimes it clears itself up, last time I had to hard reset. I never did figure out what caused it...
Try searching, I know others have had the issue, too.
Today I noticed my hardware buttons aren't working(camera,red,green). I can't figure it out and it's making it super hard to use my phone. The lights on the buttons are also on full time. I can't do a hard reset because my buttons aren't working. Ive also tried installing other roms but i keep getting error 262 in the rom installer. Please help me guys.
Ok, I couldn't hard reset the phone, but I was able to reinstalled the bell 6.1 rom. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. The lights on the buttons are still permenently lit, even if the phone is turned off. The red, green, camera buttoms DONT work. Please help me. I've tried leaving the battery out for 20 mins as well as countless soft resets
Same problem
I have the same issue, but my lights aren't staying on. the phone will sit there and i can turn it on, then i can't turn it off or use the hardware buttons. I'm curious as to what you have installed on the phone. I had an issue with the hard lights staying when i used google latitude in their maps application.
Do you have the new version of Skype installed? Vers. 3?
I have had the Touch 3G for nearly a year now and for the last 3 months I have had this recurring problem which is fixed with a hard reset but will recur again after about 6 weeks. The symptoms are:
1. When turning on, the backlight dims just before the HTC flash screen and startup sound (when it says "Smart Mobility")
2. Touching the screen doesn't bring the backlight back on.
3. Pressing the power button doesn't turn the screen off from this dimmed state, but after pressing touching the screen will turn the backlight back on.
4. Pressing the power button again will now turn off the screen, but pressing it again won't turn the screen back on! If I call it from another phone, the vibrator goes on but it doesn't ring, the screen stays off and you can't answer the call. If you hang up on the other phone it keeps vibrating and you need to do a soft reset to stop it.
If I do a hard reset the symptoms are gone and reinstalling the exact same software doesn't cause the problems immediately but withing a month or so it happens again. All I did just prior to these problems was use TomTom a bit more than usual, but otherwise nothing different. I have used TaskManager to see if there is anything weird running in the background but it all looks fine. I have had a cursory look through the registry but also can't find anything?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like it's going all haywire. If you've had it less than a year, I'd send it in real quick. Sounds more like a hardware problem.
I don't think it is hardware as a hard reset fixes it...it just recurs down the track. I have done a hardrest and reinstalled all my apps and it is working great again but I was wondering if I should be checking somewhere in the registry for an aberrant setting. I am u using a backup image program so at least when it happen again I an restore my system more simply.
But then again, all the symptoms you mentioned point to a hardware defect. You could try to find a tweak, but like all electronic devices, it's the luck of the draw. Try emailing HTC and see what they say.
I am wondering if there is any way to recalibrate the touch screen on the surround? It seems that it keeps on reading that I am touching it when I am not and I am not sure what is causing it. I tried resetting the phone to defaults but that did not help. Any help is appreciated.
Do you have a case on it and or a screen protector. This might be causing pressure on the screen not sure but just a thougth. Otherwise send it back and get a new one.
I had the same problem and tried reset from within the phone that should clear everything and it did not work. With the phone powered off I held both volume up and down in and pressed power and released it and got into the bootloader screen and chose to do a master clear and it worked. Mine was acting funny not seeing the P key I would press it and nothing but been working ever since.
Hey guys,
i have a serious problem, which happens really often lately. like 10 times a day. The screen just turns off sometimes. The touch-functionality is still working. I can feel the fingersensor "unlock" the Zuk Z1, but the screen just stays off. Then i try to press all the buttons and sometimes the screen turns on again. But sometimes it just turns on after some seconds even though I didn't touch it at all.
First I thought that this is a hardware issue, maybe a loose contact. But recently a new problem showed up. The screen brightness just goes up to 100%. I turned off auto-brightness and move the slider. Nothing happens. Restarting always fixes it. But mostly after 1-60 seconds it goes back to normal.
Any ideas what might be the problem? Or what I could try?
I haven't rooted the phone and its the newest CyOS version.
Cheers, Oliver
Perhaps you are using the flipcover with magnetic auto switch off when you close the case?
