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!

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
hi all
my htc touch elf (P3450) display turned to white with black patch at one place & some lines all of a sudden. it was working all fine. i was charging when a call came. i disconnected recieved the call. after that the screen turned white
Tried restarting but no result.
I can hear the notification of a message coming. but no ringing tone when i tried calling from other number
Please bail me out.
regards
Hardreset could be the solution
not resolved
i cannot see anything on the screen except white screen with black patch.
i tried hard reset with imaginary screen but not resolved
i see no visible screen cracks
how to check if screen is crack?
It may be that the LCD is cracked, thats what it sounds like to me, anyways. Check the connector as well though to make sure it is all connected correctly.
The white with black patch does sound broken to me though (Sorry!)
Stu
Hi Stu, I just received my friend's ELF. His display turn white, but the device still be able to receive phone call. trying to enter bootloader, all I get is white screen with some black-horizontal-thin lines. Tried to hard reset, now it seems the device is on phone setup position so I can not get anything.
Is this LCD issue? Could it be broken? FYI, before this happen, there's already one dead pixel on the screen.
BTW...is it possible that upgrading to cooked ROM can bring LCD broken? may be, unsuitable ROM?
regards,
Bom81
Not sure if flashing a cooked rom would kill the screen - although I would say thats very unlikey.
It does sound like the sceen is broken, theres one way to find out - If you don't mind giving it a go - you could always try your screen quickly in his phone - I'd imagine you're fairly familiar with the internals by now
(I do have a spare screen laying around now - JTAG is no longer able to pick up my bricked elf at all - full battery etc how I was doing it no longer works - guess it is dead for sure now!)

Hahaha..LOL, Today I did want to put my LCD on my friend's elf. but I forgot to bring the opening tools to my office. guess I'll do it tomorrow and see how it goes. I'll let you know after my experiment with this thing.
A little bit Of Topic on this thread, I think so, your device has problem
so even the JTAG method will not be able to connect to the processor. Too bad you're in england, otherwise, the spare screen could be very useful here. LOL
UPDATE
ok..confirm the LCD is broken. I've changed the LCD with mine, and the device is working fine. i guess the dead pixel is the cause of the problem.
Should be able to find one cheap enough on ebay - I do seem to find it cheaper to buy another faulty one (maybe even bricked) as long as the screen is working
Need help on my HTC Touch
Hi Guys,
I really need your help badly. I have an HTC Touch (Elfin), I presume (128/256MB). The problem is i have downloaded the official windows mobile 6.1 rom and extracted the .exe file using Winrar. After which, i copied all the files to the sd card and renamed the .nbh file to ELF0IMG as instructed in the forum.
I put back the sd card and pressed the camera button and the power button at the same time. When it booted up it says reading from SD card and I can see that it is extracting the roms and ext roms. Afterwhich, there was a progress bar and then soon after a while screen turned to blue and then white. Currently now, as I am tying this the screen is still white. Please advise me asap in what to do? Thank you very much.

Ur display screen has been broke as simple as that..
Ok. Here is the thing.
I've droped my phone down, straight on the screen, no problems. 5 minutes later, when my brother was trying to play on it the screen turned white, with no stripes.
After 1 month i even forgot i had an htc, found it in my office drawer, and i thought of reinstalling the rom. But before that i pushed very hard on the screen, i took the battery out, pushed it in the battery space and after i started it worked like a charm.
Sorry if this has already been posted about or if this is this is wrong place to ask but have used search and couldn't find anything.
I tried to boot the Desire build on my HD2 but after a few seconds teh white writing looked as if it just melted and froze which was really weird and concerned my allot.
I pulled out my battery and rebooted into windows but now I have noticed that when my white HD2 splash comes up I have a very distinct brighter part of back light I think like a smudge of light behind screen.
I did disable auto backlight when booting btw.
Can anybody explain what went wrong or if I have done any damage and will it correct itself.
Again sorry if this has already been discussed, if so can you link me to correct place.
Regards and thanks.
the "melting" is normal.. wouldn't worry about that...

When I say melting I dont mean when the writing moves down screen fast etc, I mean it physically looks like the writing freezes and then white text melts away into black background.
I also have a HD1 and have used android on there allot and didn't have teh same melting look which concerned me allot as I though it was damaging the light or digitizer etc.
[edit] Just watched a youtube video of desire booting and it did the same thing so am gunna give it another go, can anybody explain the light issue though regarding teh smudge of brighter light after booting rom as its still there and concerns me a bit.

Check the last visible lines of text just before this happens. Do you see something like "init panel" there? Then it should be perfectly normal.

I get that too...during boot...then it comes back and continues to load Is it not continuing to boot for you at that point? Have you disabled auto-backlight dim in Winmo before launching Haret? Are you seeing the boot text fade then just yanking the batt out?

Sounds like your screen crashed.. Happened a lot in the early Touch Pro Android days.

+1, this is just the system "shutting down" and booting back into linux, you are fine.

Yeah it does.
Ive just tried again, the text fades etc then just stays on blank screen and doesnt go anywhere?
Im prettt sure I turned auto back light off (unless it goes back on after windows reset), how long is it supposed to stay on the blank screen?
[edit] Just tried a second time....
Clean formatted card
Extracted desire build 5
turned auto back light off
run CLRCAD
run haret
get the linux boot text
get init panel
txt melts away
just hangs, waited for 10 mins, nothing.
Do these builds need any particular windows rom version/radio version/spl/hspl etc?

There's a definite requirement for the radio version: 2.08.50.05 or higher, as long as there's a 50 in the version number. People have been getting good results with 2.10.50.28_2 and 2.12.50.02_2.
ROM version might also influence things, check the Android thread. Some people are recommending EnergyRom, I'm using Artemis right now.
I got Desire v5 running very nicely here. My setup:
ROM: Artemis v25 WWE
HSPL: 2.08
Radio: 2.12.50.02_2

Ahh that will be my problem then, Only just got teh HD2 a couple of days ago second hand (mint condition though) and forgot to update radio, currently has 2.06.
Will update now and hopefully get something booted, will post back thanks for help.

green light flashed in top section of phone (normal message indicator light)
Radio version is 2.12.51..
I gave a NookColor to my oldest son 1 year ago, which was rooted & had CyanogenMod7 on it. The other day he said he was booting it & he pushed some buttons while it booted & when he did the screen turned green. It has never been dropped & he has never had a problem with it before this. You can see the icons, fonts & it still functions properly in all other respects...the screen is just green. The screen is also green during the CyanogenMod startup screen, then it goes black, then is green again during the CyanogenMod boot animation. I can tell that the screen is working normal, as it is lit up & black when it is switching between the boot screens.
I have spent many hours searching the net & cannot find this problem ever happening before. How can I change the background back to normal? Is this a hardware or firmware problem??? I have taken it apart & unplugged & reseated the video connector, just to be sure that that wasn't the issue & I've tried putting different Roms on it, including the new CyanogenMod10 for NookColor & it still has a green screen. I even restored it back to Stock & the screen looks almost normal, but when I played the Introduction video, the video doesn't look like the colors are right or something.
Does anyone know how to fix this or if it is even fixable?
Someone...PLEASE help!
Thanks!
Similar Problem here, except half of screen is green.

I have a similar problem, except only half of my screen is green. The half that is green remains in the same place, regardless of orientation, so I am guessing this is a hardware problem.

My experience is similar, except obviously I have half a screen of odd looking video and half normal. I also tried reverting to the stock rom, but with no success. Fortunately when reading books, i.e. just black text on a white background, the effect is not very noticeable, so the NC is currently back to being an ebook reader.
Still I'd love to know how to fix it. I see powerbookmedic (I have no connection to, or experience of, them) sells used parts for the NC, but is this a display problem, which seems likely, or a logic board problem? Buying both would be more than the whole thing is worth.
Hi all,
I have pretty weird problem with my rooted galaxy s4. I can't drag icons or anything. If I long press anything on desktop or any game or actually anywhere on my phone it acts like it was normal click. So in example if I try to drag browser to somewhere else on screen it opens it.
I have cleaned the screen so it shouldn't be the problem.
I removed the screen protector.
Cleaned screen again.
I flashed back to stock rom. (problem happens on cyanogenmod too)
I oiled my hands just to test if those were too dry or something like that.
I have no idea what is causing this.
It might have something to do with that when I was trying to call samsung to check if they had any ideas and when I was in their press this number if you want this menu my phone started to press buttons on its own so I ended up something like 31254665423213254 on screen. Although this was first time that I notices this kind of behaviour and I haven't been able to reproduce it so it might have been just some random event.
Does any one have any ideas at all what could fix this, Samsung does not and they won't fix my phone since it's rooted.
Edit I put the option that shows touches on screen on and it showed me tens of little balloons running on screen so there is definitely something weird going on. I have screenshot of it but I can't post it since I have too new account.
Since it happens on more roms, it's most probably a hardware issue
