Screen Distorted - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got this new MyTouch 4G here and it's been working well all day. While waiting on a red light in my car tonight, I turn on the screen and I see this. It's on 2.2 (no OTA). Has anyone seen this happen on this phone?
I uploaded the short vid to youtube. Pardon my voice, it was recorded on a MyTouch Slide.

Edit: I wanted to watch the video on the YouTube app (on the phone) and after I watched and backed out of it, the screen flipped out again!

My phones been doing the crazy screen flippy thing as well. I'm new to the mt4g (coming from the g2)... But I assumed this was a known issue with the youtube update...but is it not? Is the flippy screen thing an issue I should be concerned about?

There's nothing wrong with the phone... its a known youtube bug in the updated app

I just uninstalled the update and used the preinstalled version.

Off topic but what kind of case is that you have in the video?

Funny, I thought I was the only with this issue as I was on the phone with T-Mobile and they wanted me to exchange the device. I fixed it myself since the phone is fine otherwise. Since I was on 2.1 I simply followed the 2.21 update instructions and have a rooted phone now with a functional YouTube update.
I have a video of it is as well but I'm restricted from posting links since I'm not "verified".

Thanks guys. The issue was resolved after installing the OTA. I didn't have this issue on my first MT4G so my first reaction was hardware issue. Then I accidentally tried playing my YouTube video back and realized it was the app.
Thanks for the help!

I had that problem on stock before the most recent Youtube update, which fixed it. I think everyone did.
I'm not running baconbits though so not sure about that specifically.

Qik is good for me until we get Gingerbread. Not enough of my friends even have FFC on their devices yet.

co-sign i know maybe 3 of the top of my head and they use qik lol
Please post questions in Q&A section.
@cdw9800
when you said co-sign i immediately thought of the Calculus homework i have. Thanks for unconsciously reminding me of things lol
qik isn't working for me, bummer. is there anything you guys did to make it work or did it just work? mine always shows me to them, but all I see is a rainbow fuzzy screen but I can hear them.. hmm

The front facing camera works, and most apps that detect it are doing it the right way. Tango does not detect it when using CM6, they are probably not doing it using the official APIs, OR they are doing some kind of device/firmware check.
I sent them an email, either way is completely wrong.

Desire HD camera not working

Hi everyone I need help, I am not a noon to flashing etc. However my camera and camcorder have suddenly stopped working, everytime I open either one it just freezes at a backscreen. I thought it would be a bug in a Rom so I switched but It's not working. Tried everything ...if anyone can help it would be appreciated

If you tried another rom with full wipe and the issue is occurring the next think to do is to flash an ruu file.

It night be the kernel

Fixed...for now...I switched to stock sense and it wasn't working, I turned my phone off for the night and when I woke up in the morning it was working. Will have to see if its working on other roms, thanx for the tips though
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Have you concluded that the fix was leaving your phone off over night? I have the same issue and have tried a few different rom's none of which have fixed it. I was at the point of returning the phone to be repaired.
I guess I'm really asking, did you do anything else? Remove some software, try a specific rom?
It happened to my camera...but that might be due to the fact that the plastic cover in front of the lens has broken orf and the actual camera unit has taken quite a beating! Works now, I went for a run and when I came back it was perfect
Maybe the running jolted it back into position? Try the same thing xD
Could be that you need to go back to stock and make it like it came from the factory. I wonder if overclocking can damage the camera unit?
I just full wiped and went back on the stock rom, turned my phone off and woke up in the morning and the camera was working switched back to other roms and it was working on all of them.. Hopefullly this will work
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
if you have changed rom and the problem persists chances are it's hardware related. I have seen a dhd with similar problems, aswell as wifi problems and it was due to overheating. If you took out the battery it would work for a few hours but then it would do the same
Anyone still having any camera problems??

Im having this problem as well. Exactly like the OP. Not too keen on flashing back to stock rom however.
I did see someone mentioning problems with wifi in conjunction with the camera problem. I have this as well.
Anyone with a fix would be greatly appreciated

Reboot and see what happens.
Have done that a few times, I thought the cause was changing the kernel.. so I cleared cache etc.. and re installed and still nothing

Are you rooted

I changed my kernal to faux kernal and now it works fine... looks like that was the cause.. try that
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
It,s not kernal cause I flashed sense rom with snq,s kern. and also villain with richard,s kern. and all the same...

Nope, it,s not cashe, cause I don't have it at all..
It,s empty allready. I flashed few sense rom,s and then restore nand off my old rom (villain) and every time did full wipe, also changed few hboots etc. Something,s generaly wrong here due to the fact that I get bootloops on roms I normaly flashed before... now bootloops. Nothing to do with hboots or sdcard, I pay attention on rom needs : )
Sent by mesage in the bottle ...
Same problem
Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? I've flashed my phone plenty of times and this is the first time this has happened...it's frustrating
I've posted on this months ago and I guess no one else found a soultion....atleast not in this thread...but from what i've been hearing from other people with the mt49 it could be a problem since the shipment of the phone. I was told from someone else with the same phone that they had the same issue and it turned out that his phone just had a defective camera =/. But now I have a Sensation 4g. I just wanted to put that info out there. If you're still using the MT4G and have warranty on it I suggest you just send it back to get fixed. Thats what I did and it came back working perfectly. Yes it was time consuming but cheaper then buying a new phone at the time. I still have my MT and use it when im working long hours and my sensation dies
