Help screen goes black. - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a problem with a rooted my touch 4g on dark side sense 3.5 I think it is.
My problem is screen goes black after I go past the my touch 4g boot screen and it loads up normal in a black screen and after a couple attempts to get screen to turn on it goes on for like 3 min then goes black again. And I have to keep trying.
I can't get into recovery when I press vol down and power it takes me to the soff screen witch works i can see it. I'll boot it into recovery and it goes black again and I can't see recovery at all.
Any help would be nice. Thanks

Try using pdimg15.zip to restore to stock. They even have one in the sticky section that allows you to keep s off provided you have s off. Otherbwise I have no idea. I am far from a dev, more like a somewhat educated noob lol

Just so your aware it sounds like the power to the screen is being interrupted, that could be a ROM issue but since you experience it in recovery i'd say its very very likely i hardware issue. This means it is most likely time to look for a new phone. I could very well be wrong but if i were you i'd start looking right away. If you have the long term warranty from TMo i'd look into using it now.
Sorry mate

I had a similar issue that would only happen when I would boot into recovery (4ext recovery). My screen would almost be black but not completely off. I called Tmobile and they're sending me a new phone so I had to revert to stock for the past few days

I had this same exact problem, what I did was let my phone sit with the battery out for maybe an hour while using an old "dumb phone" I still have, then when I put my battery back into my phone, I hurried up and booted into recovery and flashed a gb ROM. Stayed on that for a few days and then went back to ICS. I think it was a kernel issue or something, idk.

[Q] TouchScreen Death =(

Yesterday my touchscreen no longer responded to input. Hard buttons worked. Took it to T-Mobile and will have a replacement within 7 days. Anyone else have their touchscreen die on them?
Is the HD2 black? Yeah, everyone it seems has suffered from this...especially if you run Android alot.
Mine died today. Unfortunately I have bought it second hand and don't have a receipt.
Any hints for fixing it would be nice.
Mine did it too. Got the replacement and it did it on that one too the next day. I just kept flashing random roms and after 2 or 3, it unfroze. Lesson i learned? If in android, your screen freezes, DON'T reset or take out the battery. Wait til the screen turns off and it apparently is safe to reset. (I quickly do a reboot command in android)

Wow, interesting, if true, that Android could affect our touchscreen like this. I'd test out flashing new ROMs but I already reverted back to stock ROM and SPL when I took it to T-Mobile. Think I'll just use the loaner in the mean time and await my shiny new HD2 =D

happened to me again today. I had to flash 7 different roms but eventually it did unfreeze. I picked a new kernel from a thread in android, the one where it prevents screen freezes and it so far has worked. For some reason, for me, it does it when it gets near moisture. Doesn't have to be on the phone, but if its raining out, misty out, foggy out and even humid out, and it constantly freezes up. Nice dry sunny day and i know i am good all day. If its acting up, gps will kill it for sure.
Special Delivery =)
Well I just received my replacement today! =D Talk about a quick delivery, it got here before they even sent me the tracking number lol. Can't say its a "New" device. Telling from the hex screws it looks like it has been torn down. For a refurbished phone it looks new =)

Interesting theory.
It started acting up this morning again so i changed the kernel to this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787588
because its supposed to have the touch screen freeze/g sensor issue patch built in. And it has not yet. (And the backlight to my keys work a LOT better vs. the bangsters one.)

I was so happy with my HTC HD2 leo ever since I put the Energy sense 2.5 rom on it with radio 2_10_50_08_2 until today. Have the same problem with non-responsive touchscreen but hard keys work fine. I didn't even get to put Android on it yet : (
Not sure if I should try random roms or switch back to the original rom; newbie here and need quickest and easiest solution. Input greatly appreciated.
Try going back to the stock 2.13 ROM and see if it helps. It more than likely won't, but it's always worth a try!

Someone stated that multiple flashes fixed his, so maybe going on a flashing spree may do it. Best of luck and if you still have manufactures warranty I'd say use that.

Does the phone boot properly and hard keys still functioning? If it's the same issue I and others had then your best bet is to flash roms untill it works again.

This recently happened to my GF's phone, She said she was just playing a game one day, it froze so she popped the battery out and rebooted. Now every time she uses the End/Power ( red ) hard button to shutoff or wake up the device, the screen stays locked and won't respond.
I have tried soft reset, hard reset, different lock screens and what not. The only solution I found, besides sending it in, is to let the screen shut off by itself, and then wake it up with the Call/Send ( green ) hard button.
You can also try using the End/Power hard button to lock it, but then as long as you wake it with the Call/Send hard button it should be fine.
It has worked every time now. Try it and see if it helps! It's a little annoying but it saves money and insurance!
Going to repost this in all those previous listed threads to see if it helps anyone else.
Good Luck!
Happened to me the other day too. Mine was stock rom and t- mobile replaced it immediately. The new one came to my house within 16 hours and it runs silky smooth like mine never could have. I noticed it has a newer rom version than my original one.
rom 3.14.531.1
radio 2.15.50.11u
I found a work around, I have only tried this in android. Press the power button to turn the screen on, Then when it comes on it will not be responsive.
However if you turn the screen off then back on and try and unlock it it will respond and also i have noticed if the phone wakes it self up it will be responsive again.

LED Camera Flash is dead

I was using Torch to help my friend install his car stereo and I guess I had it on too long, because when I went to use it again the LED wouldnt light up anymore. I tried taking a picture, recording a video, different settings in Torch, but nothing works. Is this something that can be replaced/fixed or do I have a phone without a flash now? I thought LEDs were indestructible...
LED flashes can overheat and burn out.. Oddly enough, their normal lifespan is 20,000 hours. :O So either you were doing some serious lighting, or it was a manufacturer's defect.
try flashing a different ROM and see if the flash works afterwards, if you've been using a custom ROM and are rooted.
If either it does not work after a different ROM, or you have not rooted and flashed a different ROM, i would recommend backing up your stuff and getting a replacement phone. A burned out flash after little, if any heavy use, is a reason for a factory exchange. Definitely.
Good luck, there.
I have the same problem. I will be getting my phone switched out soon. I guess I won't use death ray anymore...

Have u tried reboot?? Sometimes reboots fix this kind of problem..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I tried reboot. I am rooted and using a custom rom (Villain's gingerbread 1.2) so I'll try backing up my current setup and restoring a backup from when I know it actually worked. I really dont want to send my phone off, its my only phone line but I may have to.
I think you should just exchange it.
Keep in mind that when you exchange a phone with t-mobile they send you the replacement before you have to send back your own, so there's practically no downtime.

Oh I didn't know that. I'll get it swapped. The flash makes the camera so much better.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Damn, but torch clearly gives you the warning that after 45 minutes the LED started glitching. I guess you shoulda thought of that before.
The lifespan of a product might be of many many hourse, but not on one use, just like a normal bulb.
I definitely didnt leave it on for 45 minutes, maybe 5 continuous minutes at the most. I'm thinking its lose or it was going bad anyway. It went out once before randomly (not using Torch that time) and just started working again on its own, so I ignored it. It still hasnt come back on, so I think its dead this time.
I've left mine on strobing at several house parties for at least 3 hours each time (while charging). Now I read this... I'm scared to do it anymore!! Lol

I have found that different apps produce different levels of brightness. For instance, the app "Tesla LED Torch" uses the full brightness of the flash compared to "LED Light" which uses a much less intense and most likely more sustainable level of brightness.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
The Torch app that comes with most Roms now has 2 different levels. Death ray, and normal. There's a disclaimer when you select death ray because its inviting impending doom upon your phone.
Tmobile has a new one on its way. They were really good about sending me a new one, I just had to follow a few troubleshooting steps and pretend like it wasnt rooted. I told her (helpdesk lady) my original G1 was rooted and custom romed and she started going "nahnahnahnah cant hear you!" Probably the funniest thing any customer support has done with me on the phone.

very strange...

so my phone has been acting very strange lately. every once in a while when i turn the screen on i cannot unlock the phone.. it actually is unlocking but the screen in not registering.. i figured it had something to do with my cpu speed dropping too low or something but i was just playing with it and it actually works perfect if i slide the cover off the back just a tiny bit... if i take it all the way off it freezes the screen and if its all the way on it also freezes the screen....

[Q] Slow Start up (white htc evo 4g screen)

Hey all,
I have a rather annoying issue and I'm not sure what the culprit is. Anytime I have to reboot my phone it stay on the white htc evo 4g screen for nearly 2 minutes every time. Once I see the CM7 splash screen it goes rather quick, just getting to that point takes for ever. So I flashed the sprint lovers rom and of course it is fine and quick to boot. Wondering if anyone else has the problem?
I've wiped everything many times in hopes of fixing it but no joy. Also I am running cm7.0.2 (which i just did a fresh install after wiping everything numerous times in hope of clearing this problem).
--Steve
What recovery are you using to wipe and flash with? I have had the same thing but it does not always happen. I have flashed the newer nightly 57 and have not seen that problem yet.
I'm having similar issue, it will hang at the htc screen till i do a battery pull and then start it up and goes right through. I'm using clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 which recovery is the best?
I have the same problem with cm7, and i reflashed it multiple times. This doesnt happen with any other rom i use.
This happens to me as well, it's rather annoying. You're using clockwork, I'm using amonra and it's happening to us both
Sent from MIUI IS BETTER THAN YOURS
I'm using Amon recovery. I guess it's time to logcat what is going on during that time.......
well during the time that it is on that white screen you cannot connect to the device, I was able to right before it flashed over to the cm7 splash screen. So it just sits at the white screen doing nothing???

becaue its very annoying and for example sometimes when something doesnt work like GPS ! i need to reboot the phone and it takes 2 minutes on a white screen with full brightness which eats up the battery for 2 minutes as well ! this is a big bug is there any suggestion or explanation for this ?
Not sure of I'll be of any help but... I've noticed that after wiping cache that most roms boot slow. Maybe boot info in cache?
Also considering it doesn't affect the actual rom, and its quick to get to the unlock and home screen, vs sense which is slow to boot imo, its not really a bug... Besides if youre playing around to where you are rebooting you should be near a charger.

Nope, I'm on Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1 with latest Amon RA and have the slow boot from White HTC to the fresh screen then its quick , and I assume by soap you meant to say AOSP
For the longest time I have had this issue and said fml whenever i saw the white screen. i literally put the phone down and do other **** until it boots up. Until now, i thought it was just me. Good thing somebody finally decided to make a thread about it. Someone get a ROM dev up in this *****
Ok, so, after reading this I became aware of my boot time. I am pretty sure my phone boots completely in less than a min... CM7, newest timat, and I use vrsuperwipe a couple times and wipe all user, cache and dalvik. Though it is cool to see my unrevoked splash.
Sent by Supersonic!
I used to have this problem a while ago, i did different things and did some monitoring...
I believe the culprit is if you only wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing a new ROM(granting you want to do a clean install). When you do this, some files are still left in SYSTEM and BOOT. Granted most files are written over by a newly flashed rom, but some old files are left behind. The newer version of Amon-RA have the options to wipe BOOT and SYSTEM as well, or you can try using Caulkin's Format All.
I would try giving this a shot. Make a nandroid backup, then do a Caulkin's format all, then do a fresh install of the newest nightly. Don't time the first boot because that's always going to take long. After you reboot a 2nd time, I would see how long that takes.
If that doesn't solve it, just nandroid back and make believe you never saw this message =P

Bought me a Fascinate to play around with...

I gave up my Tbolt for now and have purchased a Fascinate. I truly hate the icons and stock theme. I've been looking for the past 2 days on and off for a decent ROM but have yet to make a decision.
All i want is debinged, devzw, stock android icons, and all the phone features working. I can tell that GB is having issues on the Fascinate side as it was with the Thunderbolt so i prefer to keep it Froyo for now.
If anyone is willing to help me out and get started with this i will kindly appreciate your help!

You sir are one of the few people to actually admit that the weight of that phone is too much. Most people are too proud of their new TBolt to admit it weighs more than the moon. Co-worker got one at launch and i tried it out, almost dropped it after holding my Fascinate. Everything feels heavy compared to it however the TBolt is a freaking brick! I could not comfortably walk around with it in my shirt or pants pocket, it would weigh them down so much. The sheer mass has also lead to what I believe are more cracked screens than it should. The Fascinate weighs almost nothing so their's little chance of breaking the glass from an everyday drop.
Thank you all for the helpful links and replies
I loved my tbolt but i had some emergencies and needed the cash, now that the urgency has past i couldn't stand using my spare blackberry bold. so i poped it on ebay and went ahead with a purchase of a Fascinate since that is about the only other android that is worth owing.

Only issue with MTD-based ROMs (CM7/MIUI/OMFG-B) is the occasional delay on sensor when pulling phone away from head and a (sadly) very noticeable issue with in-call volume (and volume in general).

MMS got fixed so now its mostly annoyance type things. My sensors and camera and all work fine. Like mentioned, call volume is a bit low....but completely usable. It is my everyday Rom now. Extremely fast. If you talk on it as a phone all day I would wait but if you use it for a lot of surfing and stuff its pretty solid now. Data connection seems to be flaky for some people but on the EC09 modem I have had little trouble and GPS is back to super fast lock.

I'll add another testimonial to this one. I'm using CM7 with the Glitch kernel and it's been a ton of fun. The call volume is a bit low, but I've gotten used to it. When I come out of the call, I usually have to press a button to recall the screen, however, because the sensor doesn't register that I've taken the phone away from my face. By the time that happens, however, the other person has usually hung up.
I've had no data outages (EC09), but Wifi's been spotty. GPS locks very quickly (5-10 seconds) and everything else has been a dream. For a while I was too underclocked and I got some random reboots, but that was hardly the ROM's or kernel's fault.
ok so i was getting ready to get to work on the fascinate when i got stopped by a brick wall.. rooted with super one click, checked root and busybox. downloaded rom manger, come to find out clockwork recovery is not working with the new froyos... i am currently on ed05 Official from VZ....anyone knows or has the files to get the clockwork to work so i can start checking out roms? thanks!
rom manager dont work with the fascinate... you have to flash the cwm3.tar thru odin!
ok so i installed this through Odin....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
