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?
Someone is selling one for $300. It comes with everything including a case, extra battery, and charger. The only problem? There is a scuff on the top left corner, both on the chrome and on the black part of the LCD.
What do you guys say? Yay or nay?
My main device right now is a BB9700, solely for the UMA. I also have a HD2 and a new Vibrant I'm trying to get rid of (unless the later gets 2.2 ASAP).
I would say
1) make sure the power/lock button works reliably and feels solid
2) while charging, turn on gps navigation, and then start watching some flash videos in the browser in warm weather and make sure the thing doesn't reboot on its own from overheating.
3) when you boot it, does it show an icon of a padlock opened? if so this means the bootloader is unlocked, though not necessarily a bad thing, could spell trouble getting it serviced under warranty.

All electrical items should have at least one year warranty so there should be a few months left
Its a good price for a great phone, especially if youre a developer.
The metal scuff wont be visible if you use a case.
Go with what #2 said. The second point is an extreme stress test. I'm pretty sure my phone in its case would reboot if the room temperature is above 100F.
i would buy it. good price and the scuff shouldnt be a big deal unless u have ocd with scratches like me hehe.
but a case should come to your aid

Warranties don't transfer, do they?
get it. i paid 300 for a used nexus one with a few body scratches and the name "gabriel tran" engraved on the back. a $3 case from ebay and one cyanogenmod6 flash later, i'm a happy camper. don't regret a penny spent on this bad boy.
EDIT: one thing to check for also is screen burn. didn't think about it when i bought it, everything looked peachy. but later i noticed a pretty bad screen burn where the status bar always is at the top of the screen. doesn't bother me since it doesn't really affect anything, but keep your eyes peeled since it's pretty ubiquitous on amoled displays.

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?

I didn't quite understand your reply, lol sry, but I did see one big clue....2.2.1. Which means you should have no problems rooting again.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I don't have any problems with rooting again, I was just saying that I was confused that I got my device repaired for free, although they unrooted my phone.
The phone definitely boots up because the lights on the buttons flash on then turn off after some time. The keyboard also lights up. You can tell the backlight turns on on the screen, but there is no picture.
Anyone have any idea about what I should do? Thinking about trying to restore to a stock Tom somehow tonight. Then I'm thinking about looking for screen replacements.
I was curious if anyone has had this issue before.
Update 07/14/11
So I got the screen and switched the old one out for the new one. This one also only has the backlight turning on, but I noticed when I put a part back on, there was a little bump in the middle of the phone. Haven't had a chance to fix it, but I noticed it's a piece hitting this rubber piece that seems to "transport" the sound for the mic from the bottom of the phone to the actual microphone module within the phone.
Removed that rubber piece, and I'll try installing it later. I was getting some blue and red visible in the middle of the phone. Anyone know what's wrong?

How sure are you it's the LCD screen? Replacement screens cost more than what I bought the phone for...lol
it's mostly the physical connection to the screen.
and on your note about it costing more than what you bought the phone for... there are tons of parts on the phone that will cost more than 30bucks. not much you can do about that since you got it non fully functional.

Never had to do it myself, but there is a cable connecting the two parts of the phone. That is usually where this problem originates from. It's not easy to fix though if your not familiar with fixing electronics from what i have seen.

I've taken apart my laptop completely and put it back together before. Completely as in taking the lcd off and different chips and wireless modules and stuff. I think it may be something I can handle. I'm going to take a look at it now. Restoring wont do me any good because not even the boot screen shows up.

So I completely tore apart the phone, got to the point where if I had another LCD screen, I could have easily switched it out. But I don't, so I just put it all back together. I really hope this new LCD will fix the issue. I really hope it's not some other motherboard issue. If all else fails, it goes up on eBay for $70-$100 as is for the phone. If I fix it, I just got myself a phone that goes for $200 used for only $57.
sure. goodluck with it. if you can do it then you're all set. good luck

Sorry. After some searching on eBay, I found some sellers selling it for a few dollars less than 30, e.g. 27.
But I decided to go with a seller who sold more than 200, who claims the screen is an OEM screen, and who is top rated. He sells his for $32. Which makes my phone $62 after all is said and done.
The housing has some scratches on the top and bottom though, which decreases the value a bit, but hey, if it works I'll probably keep it as a backup. Currently have the HD2, but I got a Vibrant with original box and accessories for $100, so I think I'm going to sell the HD2.
That was kinda off topic, sorry
LCD screen should be here by the 13th.
Updated OP
someone help =|
I don't own a G2 but I still think this could be a similar issue to what we get over here on the HTC Droid Incredible. First, what makes you believe its still a screen issue if it lit but just didn't throw picture? Usually thats the symptom of having the wrong recovery version for the device hardware version. Normally for us what happens is we will get somebody who is new and rooting for the first time and they'll end up flashing the wrong recovery or freak out because they don't realize the root process takes a little while and yank the cord. End result being exactly what you've explained above. Phone starts but no screen. So we end up having them do the ruu or a second option which we call a "blind install" where you drop whatever your p file(ours is PB31IMG.zip) so whatever it is for the G2 drop that on the SD and reboot to hboot and do the update process by simply knowing how long to wait between key presses and what keys to hit without useing the screen. Its a unique process and all very magical. Haven't lost a single Inc yet because of this issue.
Anyways bud just a thought...

It doesn't seem to be a ROM issue.
Update 7/18: Sold the G2 on eBay and still made a good lump of money. I was very happy, until another G2 popped up with the same exact issue. Got it for a steal as well, and I tried the OEM screen I got from eBay, and it was still having issues, and it seems to cause the phone to overheat while charging. Definitely a defective screen and someones getting a great deal on a decent condition G2 because I already took the payment after I figured it was the screen I got.
I'm going to try to get a replacement from the guy that sold it to me on eBay, but I already left him positive feedback thinking it was the phone's fault.
Will update probably late July or early August when all of this gets sorted out.
TL;DR: bought 2nd g2 with same issue, turns out replacement screen didn't work in the 2nd g2, too late to not sell the first g2, getting another replacement screen to fix 2nd g2. First g2 was in better condition though =|
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
Just installed the second screen that I ordered, and it works PERFECTLY. Phone is perfect nowwww yay. I can't use it right now though, previous owned put a lock pattern on the phone...

So today I noticed my phone had a purple blotch on it and well I thought nothing of it until I saw more of it at the bottom and when I turn the brightness up it gets even worse all over the screen on my phone. I've found one other person with this issue and they hadn't received any help, so I'm coming to you guys to ask you as to whats going on with my screen. Some information as follows, I am using the RandomRom with gingerbread and the modem is EI22.
my phone is kinda doing the same thing..
but. I took my phone in because the screen wouldnt come on..
and when I got it back the screen colors was all messed up..
I asked them about it.. and they said thats how I Gave it to them..
which is a lie.. but I didnt want to give them my phone back for another 4 to 6 hours..
I plan on taking it back.. but right now I'm too lazy to unroot my phone and put it back to stock.. then give it to them for god knows how long..
people say my phone screen looks like a old school GameBoy Color screen..
right now I don't even notice it anymore.. I got use to it.
so when ever I do decide to get it fixed.. its gonna be like I got a brand new phone..
Right, so does anyone know why this happens?

Had mine serviced last week. Its the ribbon for the screen. Covered under TEP if ya got it. At least this what the issue sound like. If you guys are anything like me, its probably from over clocking and such.

Well I didn't overclock my phone, unless the ROM I installed did that itself.
So is this covered by Sprint for free? I can't exactly afford another replacement.
It's entirely pink now and the bottom itself is progressing to a darkish blue blotch and slowly replacing the pink.

Well I think we have insurance on the phone, but I'm going to run it into the store sometime this week. I'm gonna keep checking this thread though for any updated information. But on a short note... when I got this phone replaced, the left side of the screen could be pushed up more than the other side. In my experience of having this phone a few times it has never done that so I assume it's on the department stores part. But do you think it has anything to do with my issue of this funky screen?

Okay so here's an update I haven't had it replaced yet but the screen is now tinted blue with black coming from the bottom. I managed to bring my phone back to Stock EC05 after bricking it apparently. So the download mode triangle is stuck on the uh overlay of blue and the entire bottom is basically black.
