Hello
I have a wired problem with my G2 screen. All was fine till this morning, I was watching a movie on my phone and suddenly the screen started waving a lot and a couple a seconds later it became normal. Some time later the display went up and down and started jumping...so i rebooted the phone and it seemed fine. But it started again. So I fired up recovery and within a second the screen started to dance. Somehow i managed to flash rom but when i was setting up the rom the screen went totally black. However everything is working fine like touchscreen, got detected in my pc and could copy files. I could even take call and talk to the other person by guessing the spot on screen to take call.
[have never dropped or submerged it in water]
I have rebooted the phone many times but the screen is still dead black... Any one any ideas??

Everything works fine except that the screen is white with jumbled colored lines. I had MyMobiler running and I could see the phone perfectly from it and use it. A soft/hard reset will not work and I tried flashing back to button rom with no luck.
This happened to me before but I flashed button rom and everything went back to normal. Then it happened again 2 weeks later and this time I decided to try stuff out and discovered that putting backlight to nothing then putting it back on fixed the problem. But this time, nothing seems to work.
Any ideas? Should I try the method posted in this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424553
Aye, I posted that, and it is the fix of choice around here for that problem. Do it and all should be fine again.
Ok I will try that in the morning but I didnt think it was hardware related since I managed to fix it by flashing the first time.
Well, it seems to be a tempormental problem. Some people can "slam" their keyboard shut and it will fix it for good, while others have to take their phone apart to get it back to normal.
Thank god! I successfully fixed my display by flashing the original cingular 8125 rom !!!!
Now I have regrets about slamming the keyboard/'gently' hitting the display poor phone.
Ok I spoke too soon.. after the flash was completed, it went back to the messy display.. Well I know now that it is not hardware related.
Update: I had my phone plugged to the PC with USB and had backlight constantly on.. 3 hours later, the screen came back to normal... Hmm?
I have found a permanent solution for this. I have noticed this problem occurs when my battery is very low and my phone turns off right when I switch the phone on.
So to solve this, if powering on phone didnt restore the screen, just press the reset button until the screen fixes itself. It has worked everytime my phone had those white and colored lines.
I am having this problem for last 1 week or so. My Touch HD screen won't turn on, stays black but in the background it's working. it's responding to touch gestures. vibrates when i press call,end, home buttons. I have installed My Mobiler, so i can see the screen in my PC but it's all black in phone. Sometime it comes back in few minutes and sometime it takes hours. I have tried hard reset, different roms, stock rom, stock spl, updated radios but nothing so far. Is it a Software issue or is it hardware based?
Thanks in Advance.
anyone?.......

no i don't think i have ever dropped mine.
I have tried everything i can think of, it just started happening about 10 days ago. It's getting worse now, screen stays black for hours, even restarting the phone doesn't help.
This actually happened to mine as well, and I was very close to sending it back under warranty. However I removed the battery & SD Card overnight and tried phone again. This time it rebooted fine with screen working properly. Try this and see if it works.
The problem with the HD is its not very well put together and a number of people have had issues with motherboards & faulty/loose connections with the screen resulting in the symptoms you are experiencing.
If has since happed again and I decided I couldn't wait so I took device apart and fixed loose connections again.
Under no circumstances should you try this unless you are 100% comfortable and know what you are doing as opening up device will void your warranty
On my second HD2, I had missed flashed the it, forgetting to flash it with HSLP first, so not surprisingly, It bricked. 1st the LED wouldn't even come on when plugged in. After accidentally leaving it plugged in for about 2 days, I noticed the light cam back on.
After trying to boot it, It only stayed at the Tmo splash screen over and over...so I decided to just leave it at the screen, Hours went by, and it stay a that horrible pink stick together screen. Then I fail asleep.
This morning I mistakenly picked it up thinking it was my other one, and to my surprise, I hit the power button, and it was working normally, even had the custom ROM. So I re-flashed everything correctly this time, and BAM, another HD2 up and running.
Maybe this set and forget technique will work for others sometime. IDK...lol
My little sister observatenly identified that my phone was extremely thin. She then suggested it could snap easily and attempted to do so. Obviously she failed being reasonably weak. however!
I stopped her, and proceeded to use my phone to surf the web. In rather strange fashion, i was on the standard google home page when for no reason the letters google went all over the screen, the gyroscope stopped functioning. In panic I turned the phone off and restarted it. The phone booted as usual, however, in that bootup animation screen where the 'S' changes colours, suddenly random pixels turned green, red and blue at random and a million 'S's' appeared. I was convinced at this point that the screen was broken.
I took out the battery and rebooted and the phone just started as usual and has worked for 24 hours just fine since.
Do you reckon there could be any long term damage here?
Why would you let someone do this test on your phone ?
well now you can return your phone, lol.
The only permanent damage should be to your fkwit of a sister. Something like a phone will obviously snap if you apply enough pressure on it.
Hi,
I bought my Flipside at the beginning of June and it's been fine up until yesterday. When I slide the keyboard out the screen spazzes out and sometimes works afterward but usually fades to black, causing me to have to take the battery out and turn the phone back on. I can still use the on-screen keyboard but the screen is too small for that to work very well. If the screen starts spazzing out (everything moving around and flashing and jumping) and I try to turn the screen off and back on once it's off it doesn't come back on. Also almost all the time the first time I try to turn the phone back on it hangs on the "M" screen and i have to take the battery out and try to turn it on again. I tried a hard reset but that didn't help anything. I'm worried since this phone is barely a month old that it might be a hardware issue but I don't think I got insurance on the phone and can't afford a new one right now so..any ideas?
Thanks
EDIT: Also, there is no water damage and I've only dropped the phone a couple times, and there's a case on the phone
