i dont have a clue! maybe an application that messed up the device? try using the device without any extra applications for some time and see if the problem appears again.
or try duplicating the problem. i hope its not a hardware problem!

black line across my screen too
i thought i'd post this here, i've the device for 5 months now, and just today suddenly after a soft reset a black line appears across my screen 1mm in thickness, just as roachie has described. and honest to God, i'd rather send it to HTC and get it checked than hard rest and hope it doesn't come back. any thoughts...

My guess is that their first troubleshooting techniques is to hard reset your phone anyways. If hard reset fixes it then why should they spend money out of their own pockets if it's a software problem?
just performed a hard reset, didnt work. i'm taking it to HTC no other choice.
just received my phone back. they changed the LCD MODULE.
and to mu surprise no sound comes out of the ear piece, i can only hear the person i'm calling across the speaker or headphone, so i took it back today, and was promised a new unit in a few days.....
Hello to ya all,greetings and respect
I have a ORANGE SPV M5000 for some 9 months now or so,i bought it new decoded from some other network,and i'm very very happy and satisfied with it and all the software that comes on regular basis for it
But when i bought it one thing i didn't realise at all,i saw it later home but then it was too late. For refund or anything ofc. I got used to it for all this time but anyway i would like to know what it is,would be nice if it's fixable,but i doubt that The thing is : on the screen,there is this red vertical line from top to bottom,in the left half of the screen.it's mostly visible on black backgrounds,not so much on other colors. does anyone maybe know,is the screen ****ed up,or maybe a software mess while decoding the phone ? And if so,is it in any way fixable. At least i would be at peace,knowing why that is. On it it's the original wm5,i never had guts to try upgrade to wm 6. Cuz my fiancee lives in anither country still and i use IM+ over gprs almost 24/7 to be in touch,so i can't risk to lose that lifesaving option.
Thank you all in advance !!

not sure but i guess its a problem with the screen, you should check the cables that connect the screen to the mb, maybe that fixes the problem...

Thank you for your very very fast reply. As soon as i saw it,i opened my PPC carefully and checked there the connector stuff,but with no changes,so at least i know it is not that. Thank you very much again for your quick help
First time opening,but very easy to open the PPC,not tricky at all like it was on my old SE P800,almost breaking it while opening
So i guess,maybe the screen is defected,but it was new and like that from the first day,so maybe the only thing possible is flashing the UNI ? Any ideas still from anyone ?

sorry, never had the problem, but i don't know what else could cause such a fault...
And still
And still after so much time,i have the red line
Nothing changed,only that in the meantime i flashed my UNI,which til posting this the first time i didn't do. I flashed the UNI i think 50 times since then
But still i am curious,if maybe anyone has an idea what that can be and is it fixable.
My X1 died tonight do I may have dropped it one time to many, thusly the screen started to malfunction also the phone will not start anymore..
I have switched to my Symbian Samsung Phone as of 10 minutes ago.
Tomorrow I will put my old X1 in into the box which it came to this Earth and send it Vahalla.
I will post a video of it passing on Youtube tomorrow and post the link.
X1 - May You rest in peace.

p.s. I will switch to the HTC HD2 later in the new year.

My condolences. My parents told me my last phone ran away. It happens ALL the time they said. I caught them flushing it down the toilet. It didn't run away at all. It was dead... DEAD!!!11!!!1!! *Sob*
Anyway so what puppy....er phone... er pupp... whatever will you get to replace it?
Ohh sorry to hear that dude....I just got my phone up from a half dead state..I cant even think of dropping it...So next time when you get your HD2 never let it drop down, or else you will have to make a tribute video for that too...Dont drop the phone...
Hey Euroman28!
It's sad that your X1 died, may it rest in peace
Maybe you are interested to donate it for some research action.
I still need some broken device for deeper hardware investigations.
You may look at this thread:

Kind regards,

you could get good money for it as spare components anyway most of the case when phones die due dropping is because the some of the ic's becomemlose on board sometimes is just take 10 min to get it work again with a BGA rework station (what gonna happen to your computer if you take the cpu out)? as my boss would say nothing is inpossible...
The old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come
happy with your new device, i suggest HD2
I think my X1 is very sick.
The screen is not working like it should.....gives weird colors etc.
It felt in the snow last week....that same day it was constantly restarting and restarting whole day. Then about 1 week it worked just fine and now the screen is acting a bit weird....
I think at has to go to the repairman.....
Display Going crazy
Hi, I also have a problem with my xperia x1 display it doesnt work very good when I boot it up the display and the buttons bellow the display arent working, there is no light nothing, then I have to wait till the windows boots up and start pressing all the buttons (d-pad, call button etc.) so the display could start working, but there is another problem when I press the on/off button to switch the damn display off the backlight keeps working and the backlight of the keys its just so strange. I tried changing windows but its the same. Pls HELPPP!!!!!

I for the life of me cant figure out why my camera is completely dead! I have FULLY wiped all caches,everything under 'WIPE' via AMONS and even formatted my SD card as well as trying an alternate SD card(both 8GB--C6speed)--never had a problem w either card on ANY ROM...ALL OF A SUDDEN the past 2days my camera goes to a FULL BLACK SCREEN,when pressing the CAMERA icon. Occasionally the taskbar will remain uptop but will timeout when screen display shutsoff. Now if i launch CAMERA via DESIRE ROM(KING),ill get the notice about clicking trackball to resume camera but as soon as i click it,the message dissapears and the screen will go back to black screen again...and repeat. I SWEAR i have DONE MULTIPLE COMPLETE WIPES AND REFORMATS so im left to believe its THE HARDWARE itself! CAN ANYBODY PLEASE LEND ME A HAND IF the similar problemhas occured...On the Nandroid backups that ive restored from FULLY FUNCTIONING bkups,if i launch NEXUS TORCH it will say CANNOT ACCESS LED---this is THE ONLY info besides the "camera wake message"mentioned earlier that i can provide. Thanks in advance and pleas edont flame for NOT being in Q&A bc this is more of a DEV related restore question.
**oh and BTW--I DID TRY TO INSTALL the DESIRE R2 cam fix and does nothing. I tried it when all was working fine early in the week and it did nothing to help FLASH timing for me,so i NAN restored back to prior state and CAMERA continued working until about THURSDAY night--regardless--PHONE is in OUT OF BOX STATE--MINUS UNLOCKED and it STILL doesnt work!---PEACE and Happy Mothers Day to any Mothers out there in XDA world!

Your hardware has malfunctioned. Contact HTC for a repair.
1. you may have a broken camera, try a stock rom
2. your caps lock button is definitely broken
3. you posted in the wrong section

1. i should have known you were from Philly and cant read--I TRIED STOCK ROM
2. CAPS is to put highlights on key terms so idiots dont read over the fact that I DID TRY STOCK ROM---see how that helps?
3. Thanks for your informative responses---any suggestions from CAPTAIN OBVIOUS how to get service on a ROOTED device without being charged full price on the phone?? Ahhh--thought not!--So i tried here to see if anyone else had similar situation. AGAIN-thanks for your help as well SERIAL TOON--geez
If it's a hardware failure they won't charge you.
I think it will help if you go through Google Cust service first...they will end up redirecting you to HTC repair. Provide all truthful information on your issue, proving that you have done some legitimate trouble shooting and they will realize that it is a hardware issue, not the ROM flashing or bootloader unlocking that caused the problem. Someone else on the xda forums had a rooted phone with bluetooth problem and was able to send to HTC for repair for free...with a 4 day turnaround!
Good luck!

I didnt intend to sound rude,im just a little pissed right now..I Only ask bc i already had an issue in January days after receipt of phone. Issue was solved by sending me a new battery bc other was causing random shutdowns (ive since forwarded this info to another XDAmember that had exact same issue and they give him replacement phone at 1st but issue continued to occur--i told him about my story after he posted his problem, he contacted them this weekend and confirmed with me today that a new battery was on the way..see my public IM's for info). Anyway,when i was dealing with the battery issue they said they would definately NOT be able to fix under warranty bc the phone is rooted and unlocked. I can attest to the few people on here that said theyve been successful in such cases,but either way,IVE ALREADY STATED that i tried the DESIRE R2 camera kernal to see if that helps,so im not going to be dishonest and tell them i havent tried anything other than custom roms. Again..positive suggestions or similar experiences with warranty info would be appreciated....trollers looking for a funny post or to degrade people can eat one!

Thanks JOSH, ill look into it tommorrow--as i stated tho--i feel im being dishonest for trying the DESIRE R2 cam and saying that they should cover it---uninformed people will assume THAT couldve caused it,even though i used phone afterwards for a few days w no side effects
Hey Milton, like others have mentioned in here might want to try flash back to stock and seeing if the problem persists. If it does then your looking at a hardware problem and you should contact HTC/google for repair.
Yea...i was thinking that from get go--(hardware prob). Im on cheesy STOCK ROM right now and have been for cpl hrs...but its obvious its gotta be hardware...NOW comes the crappy part of trying to explain it to HTC when attempting to get an RMA!--Yee Haa!
MOD PLEASE CLOSE OR DELETE---THANKS!
Milton, among the items on the very small list of things folks around here want in return for helping you is that you lay off the caps. Doesn't highlight anything that you'd want to highlight.

Okay,,,this is weird!!..My TORCH hadnt been working at all either, the whole time ive had the camera problem. Now ,the torch will work for ONE TURN ON, then if i launch CAMERA, the cam still doesnt work. i have to HOME and HOME only to get back to home screen..BACK ARROW does nothing except vibrate,indicating touch response. If i then re-launch TORCH, it doesnt work....!??SOMETHING is ODD--and im split whether its hardware- or some sorta SYSTEM file that stays stuck even after all STOCK FLASHES and everything!--again,reminder..the LED TORCH hadnt worked up until this point--unit has NEVER been dropped,slid out of pocket from 1foot high onto superthick carpet,so i doubt its a loose internal cable...Hmmm...

That seriously hurts my eyes to look at. Try using proper punctuation and grammar. It's very simple and still gets your point across.
As for your phone. Call Google which will probably have you call HTC. People have gotten their rooted devices fixed for free if it's a genuine hardware problem and nothing caused from the rooting process.

You should send it to HTC for repair. Charging fee or not, but thats the only option to you right now because its a hardware failure.

I was thinking the exact same thing, don't know where he must have learned how to type. Then you criticize people from Philly, or whatever its called somewhere, for not knowing how to read. I would say mirror that advice and learn how to type.. type properly.
Torch will work until camera app is used then it wont work again until i reboot. After reboot, torch will work ONLY on regular/lower setting. MAX brightness will not work. Toggle back to LOW setting and torch will work again. Im going to try what DOUG suggested bc that is the only thing i havent tried yet...but the way torch and camera are acting up and requiring reboots keeps me willing to try software tricks first...WHAT ties the TORCH's HI setting to the camera app adn yet keeps the LOW setting seperate!??..ill try the TORCH dev real quick for some insight on how the two work hand in hand.Thanks for anyone using their time to help instead of criticize. Sorry for mocking ones ability to read but i was quite [email protected] time bc i lost a major function on my phone.My apologies to all

The attitude, hostility and the caps are not welcome here.
Along with the others I have no sympathy for you. Learn proper grammar and get a better attitude.
Troll much? Go tell your mother happy mothers day if you have that much time to pull up old posts from people asking questions in a 'kernal forum' about basics. Basics that anyone should know, if not they stand a much better chance on damging their phone. It wasnt being ignorant. Since you know everything there is to know about everyones posts, tell me where the topic dealing with my specific camera issue has been previously posted and ill be glad to read and search thru that forum. I wasnt the one asking questions about something mentioned in the OP (uh oh i used caps--oh geesh-someones gonna be saaad now!)and numerous pages before. Im sorry i dont spend all my life on forums to know that only words approved for caps are indeed CAPITALIZED. Petty little boy-and by the way, i was trying to stress your good advice by typing your name in caps so people would credit you with the help-Sorry to have taken your precious time sir. Good day.
So I gave my Galaxy S4 to my friend because i couldn`t hear the caller neither the caller could hear me and he said that he could help me.
He hasn`t done sh* and gave my phone back after 2 months and now the screen is doing some werid things,just after the "galaxy s4" logo the screen shows some lines or colored dots ,remainns black,the luminosity increses fast and then it reboots,almost everytime it shows something different.
It`s interesting because the screen works perfectly during the logo,in recovery menu,downloading mode and when i`m charging it.
What should i do?
P.s:sorry for my english
Dead GPU. Recovery doesn't utilize the GPU when performing its functions, which is why it works when on a regular boot you get a green screen. Fixing the problem is going to require a new motherboard. In your situation, I would be suspicious of the "friend" swapping motherboards or the entire device.
So i took it apart,i haven`t seen much inside,i took the motherboard out and put it back together and now the phone boot up and it seems to be working but for how long,it is second time when I kinda fix my phone myself because the service couldn`t do it.
Anyways, thank you for the reply.

same problem here, do you think that heat will fix the problem?
I don`t really know what to say, the problem came back after i charged it
I really think the phone is dead,I must change the motherboard,it might be the only solution.
