[Q] Android NAND - occasional pale screen - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey,
I've got the HD2 running extremely smoothly with the NexusHD2-Gingerbread v2.2 build.
Since moving to android and trying out WP7 I have been experiencing an issue where after a whole day of running perfectly I will turn the screen on to find everything is washed in white - it's like the screen turns greyscale but in white so everything is still visible and works but in white.
i don't seem to be able to find this problem anywhere else but it has happened with all the android nand roms and the WP7 rom - a soft reset fixes the issue. I'm currently using radio Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 and have switched around but haven't found one that fixes the problem...
Any thoughts on what could be causing the problem??
Thanks, Luke.

I have the same problem sometimes. Will be glad if someone can explain!

Ive also experienced this, disappears after reboot or sometimes if i turn the screen on-off a couple of times, kinda weird.

Glad to see others are having this problem - seems to be so rare but I cannot find a solution. Would be interested to see if it still occurs now with standard wm6.5.
Anyone else experiencing this or have some idea of a fix?

i too have this problem.many times screen just go off like greyscale.can anyone help?

One more with the same problem...

Never had it with my currentrom (Hyperdroid) until I've read this thread.
Bump for wisdom.

Are you morons really that stupid
Get the screen out of the sun and away from hot surfaces you dumb bastards and it wont happen, it isn't a nand but a screen issue.
With stupidity like that you will be admins of XDA in no time

Erm what the f*ck? No need for that. Any actually, it's not a screen issue, it's an issue in earlier ROM's (well from what I've experienced). Like flash Cotulla's Desire ROM and it happens a lot. I presume you don't really like XDA due to your username? Banned maybe? Why would you even bother making a new account and just trollin'? That's sad, lol.
I only had it when the first batch of ROM's came out. Never withing the past month and a half.
It's like the screen goes negative.
But yeah, there isn't a clear fix for it AFAIK, you should back-up everything on your ROM and try an up-to-date ROM and see if it's still happening. I doubt it.

having the same problem as well
usually happens after i wake up, so during its idle time which is kinda strange
i also noticed it started happening after i installed cracked widget locker, any of you using that?

It happenes to my phone quite regulary but only running android roms, i think around september 2010 it happened the first time. I suspeced my phone, but even after getting a new hd2 it happens sometimes. It usually just happens randomly, not after specific actions. Sometimes it stays only for some minutes and sometimes it can be only fixed with a reboot.
I'd really like to know when this bug will be fixed.

I was having exacly the same issues with my old build. But since im using CoreDroid this problem has dissappeard.

+1 I've only experience this twice, and not since December, but I found it weird both times. I think both times were during a phone-call. A reset worked.

Wow...another keyboard hero....you are so brave typing that, we are all in awe of how awesome and manly and strong and tough you are!!
ANYWAY......STFU...it's not a screen problem.
I too have this problem, and it is my 2nd HD2 and happens VERY rarely, but does happen and has happend on both of them.
OH, and Mr Tough Guy....I live in the UK...VERY rarely get warm weather over here, so it AINT the sun.
You, Sir = FAIL.

Same here happens once or twice a month no big deal though
Sent from my HD2

I'm currently running imilka's RAM Desire HD v2.0 since a month or so, the pale screen appears sometimes up to 2-3 times on one day and then not for several days. A reboot allways fixes it, sometimes it fixes itself after some minutes.
But i really find it annoying.

This happened to me in most desire/desire hd sense builds.
Now, I use the official hd2 MIUI and gingerbread seems to solve the issue.

Android screen inversion problem

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a problem with android on the hd2 where very occasionally on waking the screen up the colours become inverted? I couldn't find anything on the forums about it and it doesn't go away unless u reboot. U can still use the phone completely fine, it just makes things difficult to read.
I don't remember having the same problem in winmo which makes me think it's linked to android as I've only been running it on my handset for about a month.
I am using the cyanogen 6 android froyo rom with chucky's Droid rom for win and radio v2.10 (just in case that makes a difference!)
Next time it happens I'll try to get a screenshot too!
Any help/ideas on how to fix it would be much appreciated!

I also had that problem before, happened to me about 3 times with shu8i's previous build. But when you take a screenshot of, the screen shot is fine. CM6 related I guess but dont have clue. I just reboot
Same as above, couple of times on shui8, not a real pain, just rebooted.

Occured to me once on a sense build on Energy WM ROM.
Had to reboot to fix it
hmm guess its not necessarily android related then, and if the screenshot's coming out fine could even be the hardware! just seems to be happening to mine more recently, however since putting this post up it hasn't happened (of course!)
Cheers for the help guys, like you said its just an annoyance more than anything, just hope it doesnt get worse

I've had it once in FroyoStone V1, rebooted and then everything was fine.
inverted screen
hi guys, i've also experienced this problem, I was running at the Feather HD rev.3 at the time (great build BTW), and had this problem two times. As far as I am concerned I used my phone as usually ,so there is no root of this problem I am aware of. Obviously it is not even build related. I also attach screenshot.
I got the same inversion 4 times now with FroYo 4.6.
1/2 year with WiMo I didn't got it.
First I thought this occurs when unplug the power cord
but 1 hours ago I got an inversion just going from standby
to work.
This happened to me only once, while using sense ui, locking the screen and waking it. Rafdroid Desire HD Rom - MDJ Kernel
Can someone merge the thread with this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11161353#post11161353
same inversion
Hi, I have the same problem till reflashing to android, now I have MIUI and it happens approx. every 2nd day od use. Do somebody have any advice to this yet? Maybe it's related to version of RadioROM...?

[Q] Screen Issue - Bright negative on wakeup.

Just done a search about this prob and there is a couple of similar threads but they are not really same issue.
This has happened 3 times now with different roms over past month and not sure what is causing it. Phones screen seems to go bright white on wakeup, looks like a negative.
Is there any experts out there who could shed some light on it. Does it sound like a slow hardware failure or is it more likely a software issue. As I say its only happened a few times and a reboot brings it back to normal but it just concerning
Has anybody else had this same issue on wakeup before?
My first reply post here...
I have the same issue...reboot will recover it...but ones it recovered after normal stand-by upon wake up...I assume it is just some incompatibility of Android with HD2 graphic processor, minor issue.
Current ROM
Omega WM6.5.x v14
Current Android Build
NexusHD2 v1.8
I used to have the same problem and put it down to an incompatibility. Since moving to a Nand ROM it seems to have gone away.

I used to have this issue, but only on SD builds, and very, VERY rarely. From about 5-6 months of SD Android, I probably had it about 4 or 5 times.
I agree with madmillsy that I've not seen it on a NAND build, but I don't think I'd seen it on recent SD builds either.
Is it an SD build you're running, and if so, how old is it?
Edit: Forget that last question - just saw your current ROM in your sig.
I saw this effect twice, never in WM, only in Android. First time with SD build, but second time, last week with gauner's HD NAND build.
As it was already described, there is probably some incompatibility regarding graphic, when waking up from idle mode. I do not think it is related to SD builds only, they handle graphic same way, with same kernels.
By the way in gauner's build I noticed also problem with activating sound from idle mode time to time. So maybe it is not directly graphic driver part, could be somewhere else and this is just consequence.
At the end, it is rare and minor issue, the only discomfort is because of restarting the phone.
Had a few times this issue, and didnt need to reboot to make it worn off. Just put it in a colder environment, and it will go away after 10 minutes orso. So I honestly thing is has todo with the temp of he device. Mostly it came up after a long phonecall I had, which maked the phone a little 'hotter'.
Just a speculation though, didnt have this issue since I use NAND. But I guess it can come-up randomly, but I don't worry it to be honest.
Its happened twice on SD builds and once on NAND build.
I was concerned that I was starting to get a hardware fault but im relieved to hear that others have had it so it must be simply a soft bug.
It rare anyway so no big deal.
Thnx for replies guys.
happened to me once with NAND - sorted with a reset. Scared the hell outa me

the weird thing is that since I posted in this thread it happened to me twice today!...total 3 times so far... Im getting worried...
Never happened to me with an SD build (after 3 months of use) but happened twice to me with DFT's NAND, reboot fixed it as stated and yes...it scared the **** out of me the first time lol
For anyone that might be debugging the issue - it might be connected with calls.
I receive a call. After I'm done with talking, i turn on phone and it's on negative. Alright, i restart it. After restart it works fine, until i call somebody. After call, again negative screen. It happened two times in a row.
Also i don't really need solution to this problem. Only some kind of workaround that will allow us to fix problem manually without restarting phone. Maybe a script that will reset display driver or something?

My HD2 screen gets inversed color after a while.

IF somebody know the inverse option on photoshop when black comes as white and same for all colors it happens to my hd2 after a while when I unlock is cuz I press harder on it or is a soft problem?
I've seen a few people reporting this, luckily haven't experienced it myself. Nobody seems to have figured the cause as yet, but a reboot solves the issue (until the next time of course).
I had inverted colours recently. Was weird... I was on the phone when it dialed another number (possibly i did it with my cheek cos i'd been switching back and forth from keypad and loudspeaker settings). When i hung up my phone went strange with the 'inverted' look.
I'd love to know why because it's the only stability issue I have now.
Regards

This happened to me as well. I had to give it a restart. It happened after I waked the phone from screen off. It would be nice to find a fix for this.

Hope it is just a soft prob and not a sign of hardware fail.

Haven't tried it myself, but they say taking a screenshot creates a normal looking one.
So I'm afraid it is a sign of hardware fail. The bad thing is my phone is barely 2-3 months old.
edi: could you all please post the kernel you have. From what I've read, it seems an MDJ kernel problem. I used MDJ 0.2oc
I had this a few times before Xmas on one of Darkstones SD builds, only did it 4 or 5 times though. Taking a screenshot didn't work, just got a normal screen.
Since using NAND builds I've not come across this problem once, so I'm guessing the problem is Software/Kernel related rather than Hardware, which should come as a relief.

Did anyone find a fix for this?
I am using prj Clean Desire v0.3.2 (NAND) [Kernel: prj v0.4] and am getting the same issue, unlock the phone and everything is inverted but taking a screenshot with drocap2 comes out perfectly normal. It is happening every few days now.
I am going to try a different ROM and see if it still occurs.
Never had inverted colors in WinMo, with first Android SD releases I've had that problem quite often. But since flashed NAND Android 45 days ago haven't seen any inverted colors yet.

Had this problem today for the first time while in a call. A reboot put it back to normal...
Any known reason?
hyperdroid 2.1.0
I get this error occasionly on hyperdroid 2.1.0 but it happened to me again today.... its also happened on miui. No one found a solution or cause?
I have had this on various occasions and there i various topics on it but with no resolution of any answer as to possible cause.

[Q] screen turns white - loses colors! why?

have you got the same problem?
the screen loses colors and get like white - but you still see the android theme, but in extreme white/pink-ish theme.
how to fix that, exept turning on and off the phone? and why does it do like that?
I have the same problem, buy it happens from time to time
im using radio 2.10.xx, witch ver do you use?
Same here.Radio 2.15,using NexusHD2 V1.9G.
Every couple of weeks.
Android in general is like that for us. Remember android wasn't "meant" for our device so there are still some things to work out.
Just restart your HD2s.
also got it from time to time...
it happened when the screen turn off and on too fast.
the only way to bring the color back is a reboot.
exactly the same to me....what's happening?
i use on hd2 the 2.2 froyo nand rom
Ive had (and posted) about this issue in past, its happened only about3-4 times to me so nothing really for me to get worries about. Just curious on what actually causes it and is it a sign of anything other then a driver/software failure?
got this problem ,too. but it started on my device with winmo6.5 cwf´s. i dont think, its a problem with android. iam on radio 2.10...
Same here ... more frequently though ... maybe once or twice a day.
Android HyperDroid GBX v11
Like a previous poster said this happens for me when the screen is turned off and on very quickly, especially while in a call. I think, for a moment, proximity sensor tries to turn on the screen and then off again.
Leo 512 only ?
Yes, system too big or big ! get other build
Me to had this problem using MIUI rom
Decided to do a full phone erase and SD format.
Seems to have fixed it

[Q] [POLL] Screen-Off-Issue after call

Hi,
many people still claim there isn't such a problem but there IS:
After ending a call the screen stays off and can't be turned on again. Hardwarekeys don' t do anything.
Only option: Hold the phone in bright light or take battery out -.-
I tried the most popular roms here (NAND&SD)
In WinMo everything works fine.
So here i want to show that not only i but many others suffer by this issue.
Hopefully some real CHEFS/Devs realize this.
Making tons of senseless customisations and graphics tweaks isn't enough to be a real Dev...
Here are some of the threads concerning this issue so far:

this really helps! But now the screen stys on all the time, must be careful not to end the call by touching the screen XD... But it's better than having a blocked phone.
But still the issue itself isn't solved ...
You could try http://www.xda-developers.com/android/proximity-sensor-re-calibrator-for-desire-hd/ this?
yes tried this already before, thanks, but didn't work.
I know this problem sounds weird to those who don't have this issue but it's real (i'm not crazy XD) The hardware is also working correctly as on WinMo everythiong's fine
I'm been having this problem since my first rom. I actually thought it was just my phone. It drives me crazy, as I found that plugging it in gets the screen to return. Very annoying!
