When I try to wake my phone from standby the screen lights up half way then becomes interlaced and sometimes gets filled with bars of color. If I keep pressing the power power essentially taking the phone out of standby and putting it back into standby the phone will eventually wake up from it's slumber and everything will be just fine until it goes back into standby again.
SO, before I scrap the phone I was hoping the wonderful people on this forum would have a magical solution. I'll post a vid of what's happening tonight when I get home if needed.
BTW
my phone is running
cyan 4.04
Danger SPL (I think that's what we're still calling it)
apps to sd on
refer to my post and see if it's kind of the same thing.

Well it's similar but not the same. Mine does sometimes go completely white but not often it usually displays half the screen for a second and then goes completely black with the backlight still on. Mine happens whether I press any buttons, slide it open, or any other way to take the phone out of standby. My phone has been doing this for awhile now, how long I'm not entirely sure it's just recently become an annoyance that I will no longer put up with.
I've tried using a new battery and a new sd card neither seemed to have helped. Now my only ideas are [A] the phone is just f'ed (meaning mainboard issues) it's a side effect of the danger SPL.
Does anyone know if it is possible to flash hard SPL or reflash the danger SPL on a phone without bricking it?
maybe you're having the ribbon issue as described in the link below.

To the naked eye my ribbon cable seems to be alright, a bit dusty but alright. It doesn't have that white piece protecting it but other than a little dust it seems to be fine. Should I be able to see the problem?
Edit:
I'm not sure if this will help but I do seem to have better luck waking up the phone by sliding it open rather than by pressing a button.
Edit 2:
I've pretty much given up on this phone I'm just going to buy a Motorola Cliq when it comes out. Hopefully the wonderful people at XDA will be able to root in in a reasonable amount of time.
Does anyone want to buy an unlocked rooted white g1??? It works but have to play with the screen sometimes.

Nope. It's made by motorola and this XDA is a HTC only forum, many many people have asked Flar and others to add sub-forums for other popular smartphones and the answer is always no. You will have to find either a good motorola forum or one of the android forums because I can tell you with 100% certainty they won't support it here.
I am in the same boat as you though, my screen is all f'ed up it turns on when it pleases and sometimes it won't at all. I was able to send it to HTC for like $30 and they are fixing it and shipping it back so thats not a bad deal. Also, I would advise against the cliq as its gotten some pretty bad reviews (boygeniusreport.com) and the screen is a tad smaller then the G1. If you can hold out another month or so then get the sholes, also made by motorola. It will be for high end users where the cliq is entry level, sporting a 600-800mhz processor, 512mb ram/rom, 5mp camera, 3.7" screen, qwerty slider, 8gb sd (comes with), gps wifi bt and all the other good stuff. Will only cost 199 with a 2yr contract from verizon and if you prefer gsm it will be coming to att soon after it debuts on vzw.
Ya I was thinking of getting the sholes but I thought it was only going to appear on the Verizon network. I'm also contemplating whether I should just buy another g1. For awhile there it looked like support for the g1 would be dwindling. but with the two open-source android projects gaining momentum and both being focused primarily on the g1 it looks like the phone will have support for quite awhile still.
I'd love to be able to send it into HTC to get it repaired but I don't know if it's under warranty still (I bought the phone used) Any idea how much it would cost to get it repaired if it's not under warranty??
It should be, I think it is still less then a year old isn't it? You can call them and they will ask for the ESN, worst that happens is it's not under warranty but if it is then your all set.
Well it is also rooted and has a custom spl on it .. the danger one to be exact. Would I just have to throw on an unrooted rom or would I have to roll back the spl .. and if i have to roll back the spl would I be able to seeing as it is the "danger" spl.
And thank you for all your help so far, i really appreciate it.
this seems to be a more popular thread than mine, since you've actually gotten replies. I'm not trying to hijack it or anything, but I noticed tonight, since it was my first actual phone call, since my screen went screwy, that around the ear piece speaker gets REALLY hot immediately when I picked up the call.
I completely disassembled my phone, and put it back together. Thus reseating all the connections, and that didn't help mine at all.
Current state of mine is when the screen slider is closed, the display is jacked. Either just a full white screen, full black screen, or white with thin RGB (red, green, blue) lines horizontally across it. If I open the slider in that state, it stays the same, but if the screen is locked, and I slide it open, it displays fine. If the phone is locked, but the slider is open and I unlock the screen, it displays fine.
So I have no idea if it's the slider mechanism, a ribbon, or the board. I know mine is not under warranty, plus as soon as I cracked it, I voided the warranty.
Is it worth getting a full housing + slider from ebay for $55 and take the chance that it's the slider mechanism and not a ribbon or board? or go the extra $100-$150 and just get a completely new phone?
Hopefully this link doesn't violate the "no external links" policy, since it's to ebay, and not another HTC dev forum.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, and might even help the fellow who started this thread.
Edit: When I close the screen 90% it switches to portrait, and when I tilt it, it goes to landscape and back just fine, but when I close it that last 10%, then it goes all funky.
really? nothing?
Let The Games Begin...
Post And State Your Reason(s) why you exchanged it.
Im on my 3rd, going to the 4th!
Reason(s): Washed Displays, Wifi Busted
I'm on my third MT4G and here's why:
- First one had a loud creaking sound at the bottom, most noticeably when pressing the back button.
- Second one was dropped less than two feet from the ground with the Flex case on it, and the phone's bezel was scratched and misaligned.
5 times
1. change color
2. power button quit working
3. Tried to get a good screen
4. Tried to get a good screen.
5. I got the good screen Happy so far.
this is messed up i bought mine from craigslist brand new and i called tmo try to exchange it they said they wont do it. because i did not buy it from them. the ime number is not in their system what can i do?
Got mine the day it released and still on the same original one. No creaking, good screen, cameras centered.
Knock on wood...
Exchanged once to get a good screen

Just call them up and ask for technical support. Tell them you want to verify the IMEI number is correct in the system so you can get the OTA update. They may not find it in the system but they can manually put it in. I know because I called them 2 days ago and they told me mine was not in the system. She put it in for me manually.
Then you could call them back up and ask them for a replacement as it will be in the system. you don't have to tell them where you bought it.
If you are the very first person to use the phone, warranty will apply to you. If anyone else has used the phone, your screwed because the warranty only applies to them. I'm still in my original one, I see no reason to exchange it, I swear some people just abuse the system. Eventually it'll end up ruining it for the rest of us.

Exchanged once because the phone earpiece made a buzzing noise.
This is my second one. The first device had a dead pixel and everything else was great. The second one has a clean screen but it's the washed one and it creaks from the bottom of the phone, but the most frustrating is the GPS, it's not working , it detects like 10 SATs but never locks the location. Wifi is acting weird too, it tries to connect to the same network like 2 or 3 times before it connects . I don't like to replace phones that often, if I have to replace a phone more than one time it does say something about quality or their quality check process. I mean how hard is it to check the phone for a misplaced FFC (for me I don't care about that ) ? I am done with the phone and I am going to try the NS. I liked the phone, and I can't understand HTC, how can you build such a great phone and forget about such basic quality issues. I think companies try to save on quality tests and throw their production directly to people to work as cheap test engineers. If a company knows that their phones are that good they will not make it that easy to replace the phone for several number of times for the same customer.
First one exchanged because of creaking buttons.
Second one exchanged because of light leak from bottom edge of screen and a gap between the bezel and the body.
I'm on my third one. Build is fine. Battery life is questionable but tolerable. Screen quality is fine for me but pales in comparison to samoled. I'm keeping this one until the next best thing comes around.
Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G

if you want quality control Samsung is not the company to go to I had my Vibrant replaced 4 times all had problems right out the box.
first phone GPS all have this problem plus the phone would freeze where I had to take out battery.
second phone a visible line down the screen.
third phone. turned it on and it just started opening apps and settings randomly.
fourth phone no bugs yet but it is rooted with custom rom on it now and my wife uses it I just got the mytouch 4g sick of samsung.
I bought 2 myTouch 4G and exchanged both of them 1 time. One for a bad screen (see this) and the other one for bad color screen.
After reading this thread. I regret selling my Blackberry 9700. That, and the battery life still sucks. Eff you HTC. Make better quality equipment.
Hoping nothing eff's up on my phone. I use it for work, I'm almost regretting paying in full for it as I need a phone that lasts ALL day under email and internet use. IE. 9am-2am.
I'm hoping third time's the charm....
1st: Creaky back button, sucky HSPA+ speeds
2nd: leaking battery acid from battery!
I'm pretty sure this battery was FUBAR out the box. With moderate use its dead by 4pm, even with using task killer. Whats the best/fastest story I can tell tmo for my first exchange? I've had the phone almost 3 weeks. Would the store do the exchange, or do I need to call Tech Support?
1. Phone app kept fcing and acore fcing.
2. Wanting a better screen and where the bottom on the screen meets the buttons. The light was showing theough the seam.
3. Got a chinese phone. All issues resloved. Very happy now.

Well i was 5 days over my 14 day remorse period. just went in and told then i would like an exchange. So if i were u just give it a shot. I got lucky and got a China made MT4G with a superior screen! Dead Centered FFC. All i did is just ask.
My phone: Original. FFC is slightly off, there is a small cosmetic defect around the BFC bezel, and a -very- small chip in the front chrome near the FFC. Annoyed about it, but not enough to swap for a refurb when everything works -great- (S-OFF, rooted no problems, good screen, etc).
Wife's phone: 1st swap. Original one would -not- take S-OFF or root at ALL. It would even take the ENG HBOOT, but still be S-ON! Replacement has been great and went S-OFF easily like mine
We actually swapped my wife's via 611 even though we bought both phones in store. The store was completely useless in help with anything and will never receive my business again! Called 611, 'cancel' at autoprompt to get a retentions person. They suggested the store, we explained what horrible service we've had since they sold us the phones, he chuckled and said ok no problem new phone on the way.
I swapped out my original MT4G with a washed-out display for a replacement unit with a good display.
I just took delivery of my SGS2 yesterday, and I gotta say I absolutely love this phone. Coming from an LG eXpo with WinMo 6.5 and never having used Android, it doesn't even feel like a phone. Plus with all the easy integration with my Google accounts, I've never had a smoother transition to a new device before. All this makes it all the more difficult for me to have to send it back...
I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this problem, but it looks like my phone came pre-packaged with burn in or something in the form of a dark circle near the upper right side of my screen. I've attached some photos of what it looks like.
I noticed this abnormality in the first 10 minutes or so of using the phone while looking at some photos on my Picasa account. I almost feel like this phone could have been a refurb unit, or the screen was reused or something. In fact, there appears to be more substantial burn in than I can photograph, as there are several other places where I can see strange distortions. Most, if not all, only show up when the brightness is less than 100%. I'd thought maybe it was some widget that caused the burn in, but I haven't been able to figure out which one it could be.
Anywho, I've already arranged an RMA thru Expansys-USA, and they did so without even asking any questions after my email with photos of the problem. So far I've received amazing support from Expansys-USA and definitely recommend them. Also going to see if I can request a replacement sent before I send back this one so I won't be without a phone during the shipping time, something they mention is possible in the RMA email (though they do charge you for it, to be refunded once they get the defective unit back and inspect it).
Would be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem. If there's already another post on this subject, sorry about this new one... didn't see any when I searched tho.
I can see the same thing on mine if I put it on the lowest brightness setting and display a grey image. Nowhere near as pronounced as on yours though, have to really really look for it, so can't be arsed to do anything about it.
Interesting that it's a perfect circle though, could it be just above the CPU or something?
Nope, haven't got that circle on mine at all.
Maybe an assembly worker lost their wedding ring, lol...
You'll be fine, it's an RMA for sure!
Defo a faulty phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I believe that mark is from the vacuum suction cup on the assembly line from the automated machine that handles positioning the display component. It technically should disappear over time, but I don't know how long.
I don't think it's the CPU, though to be honest I'm not sure where it is under the screen. There is that odd gold-colored sensor or whatever under that area, I think.
If it's a wedding ring, maybe this phone's worth more than the sticker price! haha
Vacuum cup huh... that's pretty bad if it's damaging the screen while doing that. I don't want to wait and see if it will disappear. If I do wait and it doesn't go away I'll be out $725 on a phone with a screen that'll constantly bug me.
Kinda funny, as I was looking at the photos I attached, I saw two rings... one in the photo, and the real one. Startled me when I first saw it.
I didnt have the same problem as you but i had line banding or something on my one.. i had to replace it 4 times then noticed it overheated+smell coming from it.. so i just returned it and got my money back.
Just be aware that you might get another faulty phone.. If i was you i would wait till it comes out in the US.
That sucks, and it's not good that other people are having some issues as well. Good to hear that Expansys is honoring their agreements though
This is why I don't import anymore

Could well be spot on. I don't know if I'm imagining this, but I'm having more and more trouble seeing this ring on my display heh (had the phone for 9 days now).

Man, that's really unlucky! Knock on wood, I hope I don't get another bad one. However I'm not sure waiting will do me much good. History has shown me that branded devices tend to have a lot of crap on them and lack certain features at times, and I don't have as much time as I used to to keep up with the scene to make the phone operate better all the time. Also, I'm contract-free with unlimited data on AT&T, and I don't like being locked into contracts. This isn't my first non-US phone, though. I'm happy to pay the extra money so long as it means I don't have to sign a contract.

From the Expansys-USA thread, sounds like they'll ship the phone back to the UK to have it serviced for you if it ever goes bad. This doesn't sound uncommon, either, as I've had a friend here ship his JP Xbox 360 back to Japan to have it serviced (with a another friend's JP address), and another friend in Japan had his laptop sent back here to have it serviced. Also, there's always the chance a non-import one will be bad, too. Luck of the draw, I guess, and perhaps early-adopter woes. lol
Got my replacement on Saturday, been playing with it ever since to see if I could find any further problems. Definitely no circle this time around, and some of the vertical banding I saw on my old phone in the notification screen is gone, but now has some very slight horizontal banding. Not a deal-breaker tho, so this one's staying with me. Also, hard to tell but I think the yellow/dark left screen problem is present, but so slight I can barely detect it if it's there and not a trick of the eye.
Gotta thank Expansys-USA for their great customer service. I'll definitely order from them again.

I would have it exchanged for another if you can. I had mine exchanged, but since I went with the cheap option the whole ordeal took almost a month (slow shipping). My replacement doesn't have a defect, but it's possible I have the yellow tint problem others have been reporting. I don't see it tho, and if it's there it doesn't bother me.

Hey guys...
So, I have my Desire Z since about 4 weeks and nothing went wrong with it.
Really NOTHING bad happened, it didn't fall on the floor, didn't fall into water, etc etc.
So this afternoon I unlocked it and suddenly I got a blank grey screen.(worked perfect in the morning) The phone did react to my power up/on button, but I couldn't see what I was doing. Also the touchscreen worked, because I could unlock it (I heard the unlock noise) but I only get a blank grey screen.
I tried Bootloader and Battery pull. Also I took out my SD/SIM/Battery and just blow through the whole phone but nothing want to happen:-(
By the way, my phone is fully rooted and running on Cyanogenmod7 since 5 days. Everything worked perfect until this afternoon...
EDIT:
Looks just like this http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/forthcomingtangent/DSCI1196.jpg
C'mon guys:-(
So is it grey from bootup till it gets to the rom or can you see your boot splash screen and whatnot?

Yes, when I boot it up it's grey, I notice that it's still working because I get the bootup noise. So I can see nothing. But what I noticed is that the grey screen gets a kinda bluegrey screen while the cyanogenmod7 boot animation(the loop)
Sounds like a hardware issue to me, I'd send it in for warranty if I could. Plus, with your screen being the issue I doubt they would check for something like S-off or anything like that
sounds to me like the ribbon cable for the screen has either broken or not placed in its socket properly, does it make a difference when the keyboard is open? try opening it and closing it a few times... watch the screen. otherwise it could be a fault with the screen board or the screen itself
i would try and claim off warrenty or insurance
No it does no difference when the keybaord is open:-(
Problem at the whole thing is, that I have no warranty because I bought it at amazon.com
you either have to see how much htc will charge to repair it, or take it apart yourself and just check the cables... if any are loose then refit them... or buy a new screen, vga board and ribbon cable and fit it
How much would the last option cost?
And how much do you guys think HTC will chare to repair it?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-SLIDE-FLE...944?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a10708cb8
something like that if its the ribbon cable.... but that gives you the whole kit
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Touch-Screen-...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2a0fd454a5
thats the digitizer but i dont think youll need that but just in case
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-H...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2eb3f529d0
thats the screen
but in fairness your better off taking it to a repair shop and getting a price... if you havnt got a warrenty then you dont have to worry about loosing one
Wow thanks, you're really helping me.
So I found a warranty document, since I bought it over amazon.com from another seller(mobilejoker) and it says that they'll repair me my device if it is defect and not my fault. But they also charge 40$ if it's an obvious damage made by myself. Well, I don't know, it wasn't my fault right? I mean it's not like it dropped in water or fell on the floor.
looks to me like its the ribbon cable or the vga board for the screen, as long as you havnt dropped it in liquid, on the ground or opened it up then it cant be your fault... id go with the warrenty first before you open it up
Hit the thanks button please matey
Done
And thanks again for your help.
alrite glad i could help, if you get stuck or if the warrenty doesnt work come back
hey guys I'm having a very similar issue on my phone, I bought a screen on ebay from a USA seller, as well as a flex cable cus both were damaged in my phone. I've got both of those installed and the phone boots up, gives off noises and vibrates like his did, but no video. Backlight lights up, but just black. I've been googling a lot and apparently the grey screen is just a precursor to what I have. Where exactly is the VGA board? is it on the main logic board? does it need a reflow like some laptop chipsets?
Hey guys I just thought I give you a quick update.
So I got my device back, it's working perfect and I didn't have to pay anything for it.
I'm just a bit confused, because my phone now is totally unrooted, and I always thought that root hurts your warranty.
Anyways, thanks for your help!!

Either they gave you a new phone or...
They replaced the screen (or samaged parts) and wiped or perhaps upgraded to newest stock.
Do you still have all your info and apps that were previously on it?
What version of android does it show in about, and which hboot do you have now?

well i saw that this had been asked a long time ago, well i got "my legendary HTC HD2" from ebay.... i think i have been scamed by a hong kong seller, i think it was faulty and he kneww it and now im not under warranty, when i first powered the phone used it like for 15 minutes and rebooted into stick toggether and made 7 vibrations, and again and again... then i thougt it was software installed maglrd android bla bla... what is happening when unsing my phone at 1ghz in some time using browser or games it freezes and never returns back, about heat its warm the lowe part but not to hot i dont think overheating is the problem well you tellme and in bootloader it says security unlocked at the top. i dont know if has something to be with whats happening, its tmous unlocked,,,i think the chinese scamed me
WELL I FINALLY OPENED IT, and came to the conclution that was previously opened and filled with thermal paste, and red dot meaning it was in contact with water, scamed by hong kong celler sofwaytech, dont buy from them.
I thunk you have an underclocked kernel and that why you have those problems . I had those myself but when I updated kernel ( not Rom ) everything was working fine
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
no :S i tried like 5 roms with diferent kernels, no luck
It could be that the ROM's you are trying are overclocked too much for the phone capacity.
nope, i use them at 809 for not crashing if i use it at 1ghz i would crash, so its harware but i dont know who is going to fix it
isn't there a way to lodge a complain @ ebay if the unit is really defective?
BTW have you tried to restore it back to WP6.5 or try to install WP7?
also I bought one HD2 from Taobao (China biggest net seller) and had the same problem.
Everytime I turn-on data connection (actually edge), the phone freeze. Not too hot on the body, so heat might not be the problem.
Maybe the CPU frequency controll apps are the reason, but I have not experiment yet.
I will perform task29 and reinstall WM6.5 if i were in your case to test.
thanks to all for your answers. first off i knew i shouldnt trust in someone who is in hong kong, i live in argentina flew to miami and bought it, i think the compàny knows the problem, they unlock it and sell it to some resellers, and they list them as new and sell them, the freezes are when i turn on wifi or gps it dosnt matter, i know its hardware, but software goes with it, two problems damn
didnt want to revive this old thread for nothing, dont buy from softwaytech, bestpricellphones10, etc, i opened my hd2 since it stopped working, im on a galaxy nexus one, nvrmind, well i opened it and was full of thermal paste, o , well what could i expect? to the point i compared it to other hd2 disasembled and had a red dot marked with paper, bad unit, mehhhh. i burned it in the fire and throw it away, what a pitty, it was the greatest phone ever :crying:
outch! what a waste I couuld have used the digitizer one of my HD2's touch screen is dead

Did you get a picture of it? What do you mean by 'thermal paste' and 'red dot marked with paper'?
BTW how much did you pay for the phone in the first place?

Indeed.
I could have taken the back panel and probably the front buttons (if they can be disconnected from the LCD).

i think that the dot when it comes up in contact with water it changes colour, so i dont know, that paste shouldnt be there. saw some people disasmbling them none of them with that paste neither with red dot, i got scammed.
