sometimes i get a weird issue.. half of the bottom screen does not refresh correctly... sometimes its all washed out.. i can't see anything .. i have to do several page/transition for it to refresh properly.. is this normal e-ink behaviour?
No, it's not normal.
That sounds like a hardware problem with the eInk hardware.
If your device is out of warranty you might try reseating the eInk panel connector.
i don't get it all the time.. just sometimes .. a restart usually solves it... i took some photos... i bought it on ebay with international shipping.. will be difficult to get it exchanged

Do I blame the onboard video or the LCD itself for this problem? I've taken the phone apart and re-seated the motherboard connections, which was no help. If I connect using EveryWAN the phone appears to be working fine, in fact I flashed the T-Mobile ROM and than the Button ROM thinking it was a IPL/SPL issue. Even if I try to start in boot loader mode the screen still looks the same.
Just trying to decide If I need to replace the motherboard or the LCD.
Thanks,

Screen seems intact without any damage visible, no cracks or out?
Had this problem once with my old Universal, was the colour transfer wires that were loose, but pretty sure the Uni is totally different to our wizards.
Prehaps open her up and see if theres anything thats loose prehaps.
I had it opened and re-seated both the connecting cables, but no luck.
Ive had this problem with my wizard .. i couldnt find a solution. tho i didnt really try very hard. Basicaly just picked up another one on ebay for like £30 seemed cheaper than spending the time and effort fixing it. I think mine got progressivly worse. It used to do it occasionaly and now just it as soon as its switched on
i have a same sort of problem...
left of the screen fills with lines and the whole screen fades to white.
turning on and of the screen via power button takes it back to normal but then it happens again.
noticed it only happen in portrait so i have to set it to landscape all the time
for some rom and spl's it happens just a few times a day and others i cant use it in portrait.
If i find a solution it might be working for you to
Fading white screen of death
Could be the battery. Have you tried a new battery?
Solved.
The LCD itself was bad.
i got a crash i resetted ther phone .
after that phone works but the screen stays verry dark.
as if the backlight is broken.
i can see verry little on screen since its just so dark.
phoen works i can get phone cals etc but i just cant see a thing.
whats the problem . is my screen broken ?
please explain the word "crash".
did it fell down or did just windows crash?
if windows crashed and it didnt fall down, you can call htc or go to the shop where you bought it.
DN41
i got an sms .
then phone stopped working .
the touch screen didnt work anymore and i had to take the battery out.
i put it back in and turned on phone.
phone worked but screen stayed dark , i can see something things on screen but its verry dark.
now i put it on the charger and battery was goin empty verry fast even thoug it was on the charger it didnt seem to recharge .
while in the charger the phone was getting verry hot also . so i cant do a thing now .
edit .
im thinking isnt it just possible that since the battery looks dead, that the screen just isnt getting enough power to be lighter ?
since both problems came at the same time i guess they must be connected in some way .
i mean is it possible that a new battery solves the problem or isnt it worht ordering a new battery ?
CRashed ...from a window
My phone crashed too... Crashed onto a carpetted floor from a window (about 5 feet) while being charged, and landed on the edge of a barbell. What was it doing there u ask? I wanted to get the best 3g reception thats why. I use it as my main modem/router y'see...
Yes i got a really dark screen too, and two vertical bright lights. the screen was alright, no cracks, nothing. but the buttons was dented since it landed on the barbell(which was on the floor ).
Sent to the shop and told me it'll cost me about 170usd to fix the lcd,..and said it's gonna cost another 50 usd to fix the touch screen. Knowing the shop was b.s'ing since i know the lcd could just be the only one affected so i plan to buy just the lcd. did a few practice disassembly, and eventually after the 3rd disassembly and reassembly the screen was completely dark...even if it did lit up, i cant see any image.. so i guess i'll just get the lcd+touch screen. since i dont wanna go through the hassle of soldering the fine connection anyway, i decided to buy the lcd+touchscreen online cositng about 140usd..
well, obviously mine's a hardware problem.. Buy yeah I'd say that the hd2 is sooooooooo fragile, your hd2 problem might be mainboard related.
ps. still waiting for my replacement lcd+touch.. who knows if mine is motherboard related too(since the buttons get hot, but i can still recieve calls+use as a modem)

if you can see the screen at all, you might check your backlight settings to make sure they didn't reset to like 10%.
Otherwise, I would take it in to get fixed. Sounds like the backlight died.
Have you hard reset to make sure it isn't a software issue?
Hi!
I tried to replace a cracked LCD display on my Nexus One, but now the colors are all messed up. Have any of you had the same experience? It's like insane! The black is like grey, and there's like these horizontal lighter stripes across the screen. Could this simply be that the LCD connector is not properly attached to the motherboard? 'Cause it was kind of tricky to push it back in place. Had several tries where the screen was completely black, because of the connector not being attached properly..
Cheers!
There is a good chance you dont have the connector fully seated. There is also the possibility that you got a bad screen, where did you get the new one?
I bought it over at DHgate. I sent them an email, but they said they tested each screen before sending it out or something. But should it be THAT hard to press the connector into place? I've been struggling with this for a few days now.. I've also checked that none of the pins are damaged. Atleast what I can see without using some form of magnifying equipment
The connector on my phone just snapped in, as in you could feel it pop in and knew it was making contact, I really believe that if you could see a good connection you have a bad screen, try and take pictures of what it looks like when running
Did you get the right one?
AMOLED or SLCD?
Here are some images.
It doesn't look that bad on the images. Sometimes there's also flickering on the screen, but it stops after a few minutes of use.. Hehe.
I could feel the snap myself when i pushed the connector in, but it's still crap..
On my Dell laptop I have a similar issue where sometimes when the screen connector is pushed all the way in it shows weird colours just like in your pictures (sometimes also lines or other artifacts). For me the solution is to wiggle the contact with the laptop running until it is sufficiently loose where all pins make good contact.
I also remember similar artifacts when an iPhone I fixed had poor contact.
You could attempt inserting the connector with the phone running, but beware of static, and also note that not all electronics like being powered up that way (i.e. I'm not responsible if you break it more than it already is ).
Thanks for the tip, xdZKu7, but no luck. It was either flickering/tweaked colors, or nothing.. I don't want to waste any more money on this phone now, so I'm thinking of investing in a DHD instead =) And this time with proper insurance!
Hello,
The left side of the screen shows some Missingno type glitching (I've attached some pics)
Does anyone know where this type of problem comes from?
I had the screen replaced and it worked beautifully afterwards for a couple of days...
I also installed system updates.. so I'm wondering; is this a hardware or software issue?
Thanks for your time and interest

Happened to my wife. Needed to be returned and fixed, hardware glitch not software. I am not sure if it was a screen issue or some other hardware.

Did you have the screen replaced because of the screen flashing, or did the flashes start only after you had the screen replaced?
If the problem has been consistent over the course of two different screens, it would point towards a hardware fault on the sending end of the display connector, right where the ribbons leave the motherboard.
If this problem is brand-new, it might just be that the display connector was not fully secured when the new screen was installed.
Mine is doing the exact same thing. Left side goes all grey and static looking.
I took it apart and reseated the screen ribbon connector and at first I thought it made a difference, but now it continues to glitch out. I took it apart a second time and it has the half screen right at boot up. Sometimes it goes away just setting on the desk but seems to come back regularly. Its only the visual part of the screen, the touch points are still all in the same locations. And when I took a screen shot while it was glitching, the screen shot came out normal. So I am hoping its only the screen/digitizer that is going bad.
I am going to buy a new screen and see if that fixes it. Its only $60 on eBay and its pretty simple to take apart. I will post back if it fixes the problem. That way if someone else has the issue they will know.
Moto x style display problem
I have got the similar problems with display and I will return for warranty repair. I will tell you later what happened.
Downgrade to Lollipop , It worked for me.!

(This is the tip for everyone)
I replaced the screen and that seems to have fixed it for now. I haven't had much chance to use it since the screen replacement though. I will update in the next week or so and let everyone know how the screen replacement holds up.
The replacement screen only lasted about a week and now the righthand side has glitched out. I am going to take it apart and put it back together but i think its time for a new phone.
These phone are getting cheap and I really like it so I may just get another. Although the lure of a dual sim version is attractive.
I'm new to this forum, so I posted in general this problem I'm having since I don't know which category fits for this.
I know this forum is for software-related topics, but I've found hardware questions as well, so I guess this should be fine.
Basically, some time ago my phone started having this problem, which I suspect is hardware related, which is what they call screen burn.
Funny thing is, people usually say this problem is permanent, but in my case it's just temporal.
Sometimes my screen is working just fine, and suddenly starts flickering. If I try to switch apps, a "ghost image" of the other app stays there in the background, and until the screen refreshes, it takes time, or maybe I have to switch my screen on-off again, etc.
Another times It turns white, but I still can use my phone properly.
I've identified it's just a screen issue, because as I said, I can actually use my phone fine, but I have this flickers and ghost images. These ghost images are actually the most annoying problem when they happen.
To do some testing, I downloaded a burn-in test app to check every colour, and I've noticed that most colours work fine, but just the white and grey were weird? Like, maybe in the top of the screen the colour wouldn't show, but in the rest of the screen it was working.
Other times, the screen starts to display "colour lines" in front of everything, and after some time they disappear.
Want I want to know is, is this a hardware problem, or software? I guess it's hardware, I'd find it weird to be software.
If so, changing the screen would fix this ghost images and flickers? I haven't tried changing a phone screen before, but I can just buy one and there are videos for my model on how to change the screen so I could do it.
What I want to know is, how to fix this, and If replacing the screen would do. I honestly am against the consumerism trend of throwing away phones, so I at least want to try.
Thanks.

Hi...
so it could be software or hardware based.
first i would make a full backup and then try to completly reset the firmware and check if the issue is done
if not...it could be the screen or the mainboard or the connector to the mainboard.
at first i would try to change the screen to a new one. mostly the screen have problems. if that not work it can be the mainboard...for a buying a mainboard i would look at ebay for a completly damage devices just to remove the mainborad there and to buod in to your Device
hope that helps you

I commented my problem with a friend who studied CS with me, and he told me after seeing the phone that in his opinion it's likely the screen. I think so too.
It's ebay a decent play for buying a screen? Or better aliexpress? I've seen screens for huawei p10 lite in aliexpress

Hi...
Idk if ebay or Alie would be better. I would take a look wich one could send it fastest to me and if it is original Part or from another manufacture.
Hello, I've been experiencing same kind of issues in recent months and I'm interested how the story continued and did fixing the screen was the solution?
Thanks in advance.
