Strange colors on HD2 screen. HELP

I have HD2 since 2 months ago and it worked perfectly till a few days ago when the screen appears with some strange colors, not the normal ones. The touch screen works perfectly and the phone works ok. It's just that the colours are different from the original ones. Then after a few minutes or so it comes back to normal.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.

did it fell off the ground before ?

nope, never felt down

any idea?

maybe your LCD flexband/cable is not tight fit in the slot..under the lcd-glass
had that before with sony cellphone
i would take it to service if you dont want to loose warranty.

yes, I a agree powerslave69
After receiving back my Laptop from repair's (manufacture). A week later your problem came about. It was discovered by manufacture on return that the 'Wire Tape' connection was lose at one end between graphics card and screen. So when the Laptop was first repaired it was overlooked that the connection not right when the manufacture put it back together.
Best to send It back right now and they should replace it with a new one
Problem gone !!

Had the same (I think) problem. The colours on the screen went "blurry" & lost it's sharpness. Took it to service and they just re-flashed it with the newest ROM. Don't think that's the right solution to the problem though...

i already tried to flash it with the newst rom available on htc web site but it didn't work.
I brought the phone to the service. I'll let you know.
Thank you.

just curious, did you happen to have a custom rom with 576MB of ram enabled?
see this thread h t t p : / / forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677979

no, it's the original rom. never applied a custom rom

Did you get this sorted out?
I think im having the same problem, since about a week ago i get horizontal bands of discolouration across the screen, at first it seemed to only affect Sense, but now any program running shows these bands of colour (like a purple colour band across the screen). Sometimes it is fine but now seems to be mostly like this.
Still on the original ROM...

dont solve anythink, the issues continue....like yours...sometimes less sometimes mucher.

Has anyone sorted out this issue ?? Cos now mine is having the same problems...
I have checked around on other forums and no one seems to have the problem.
oh, and my HD2 is out of warranty, so I hope it won't cost a fortune if ihave to get it fixed....

Sorry for digging up an old thread but:
another one with strange colors over here. White is whit, black is black, but green, red and blue look a lot "paler". The colors are much less vibrant then they used to be.
The backlight of my hardware powerkey stopped working a thesame time. Other hardware buttons are fine...
question is.. will this get fixed under warranty? Anyone had thesame issue and sent his phone out to be repaired?

same problem now and then...someone help
if i apply a little preassure near the bessels or the usb port...screen becomes normal but you can never say when the problem might appear again...help !

Seems like a loose contact on display ribbon cable. It happens after caring the phone long time in pockets usually in the summer when it's hot and sweat can enter in the phone. Contacts don't like moisture, in special sweat, it's corrosive. In addition, when caried in back pockets it will be slightly deformed and it is the second cause of that failure.

Strange colors on HD2 screen
I had a similar problem a while ago, horizontal green/yellow bands across the screen. At first it was intermittent but then became permanent. I had to send it back to HTC for a fix.

Does my touchscreen have parkinson?

Hey everbody,
I can't remember if i've had this problem before, but my DHD came back from repairs 4 weeks ago. Touchscreen was removed to refix it because it was a little lose at some points.
Got it all back and repaired, new camera coating etc. But.....
I (Sometimes!) notice when i pull down my status bar, or my lock screen, and i stop before pulling it all the way down (So holding it in the middle of the screen with your finger).. the bar starts shaking like hell.
It's like i have a really big finger and the screen doesnt know where to go with the status bar. Even when i just hold the screen with my nail the problem stays.
Problem only occurs vertically, not horizontally and doesn't always seem to be there..
Do other desire HD's have this also? Is it normal? And if it isn't does anyone know a quick fix? (Tried cleaning screen, restarting..etc)
Thanks in advance!

Here you go! Seems that every DHD has this problem.

Noticed the topic, but not sure if it is the same.
I also have the problem with drawing lines diagonally when doing it slow, not fast.
But it does not seem to be the same problem as i am referring to right now.

This other brand phone seems to have the same

Incorrect my friend, you will notice that the OP states the problem is in vertical scrolling and not horizontal. That thread is all about the horizontal scroll problem that affects a huge number of touch-screens in a great many devices.

haahah funny title hope u fix that.

Unresponsive touch screen :(

The top part of my phone does not respond to touch anymore... it is impossible to bring down the notification bar... and once in a while the whole screen goes unresponsive.. tried factory reset but still the same problem..

am having the same problem since 2 days back
after reading some of the posts i found that the Digitizer For HTC G6 Legend A6363 should be replaced with new one i ordered mine from ebay
ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5039.m570.l1313&_nkw=Digitizer+For+HTC+G6+Legend+A6363&_sacat=See-All-Categories
waiting for the item to be delivered

I've also got a touchscreen issue: the area of the notification power widgets is unresponsive... the rest of the screen works fine, but I don't know for how long :/

Do you have widgetlocker, by any chance ?
Or a lockscreen replacement which disable the notification bar during the "slide to unlock" state ?

I didn't know there was such thing as widgetlocker. I use CM7 latest nightly, never seen that thing.

I also facing this problem from last 2 weeks and i also think this is digitizer problem. If anyone else found the solution else changing the digitizer, then please post.
This is beautiful phone but htc added a poor quality things in it, due to which many users facing such problems.

Nah.. I dont think its because of widget locker.. its the digitizer..

well that's a shame, gotta buy a new digitizer on ebay after just over 1 year of use...

I know.. this sucks... Im planning to upgrade though.. Any of u guys have any suggestion?

Depends on your carrier if you want suggestions for an upgrade.
...but that would drive the post off-topic.

I have the same problem. my screen doesnt work anymore because some water got in from the grill above the screen :S
should I try to take apart and dry off or shall I buy a new digitizer directly?

I think it may be a good idea to try disconnecting your digitizer and reconnect it as it just might be helping. I did it on my girlfriends legend and it has been working perfectly ever since. Maybe a good idea to at least try that before buying a new one. So i guess it could be in the connector to? At least this worked for me.

My touch screen dosent work at times. but after rebooting the phone the problem becomes solved. But the problem comes again after a week or so. Any suggestions guys??

I also have this problem, but if I wait a couple of minutes the touchscreen
becomes responsive again. Half of the screen works when it's unresponsive (right half of the notification bar and down). It's quite annoying but I cannot afford a new phone at the moment.
I'm also wondering if this might be temperature related, this problem reoccurred very often during the summer but stopped during the winter. But now (spring) it's back again.

My problem got worse and the phone became totally unresponsive, changed it, got a new phone.

exact same problem here, mine works when it feels like working, totally random, I simply can't understand why, I doubt it's the temperature... I think its in the device theres something wrong, I smack it numerous time and it works right after a big smack on the screen, or rub your whole hands on the screen, also, the angle you are holding the phone affects this problem, if none of these work, a phone restart always makes it work at the beginning. Oh boy did my phone took and taking much beating... oh well, I wish I could permanatly fixed the problem here, as I was thinking of handing the phone to my brother when I upgrade, I'm using CM 6.1.

I still recommend the same thing that i posted earlier here, her screen still works perfect.

I had the same problem few months ago. The problem is with the touch digitizer. I bought a digitizer on ebay and replaced it myself. After that my phone has been working fine. Its not that hard to replace it if you have a small knowledge about hardware.

I use to get that unresponsive screen issue only in the summertime, plus it gets worse if I add humidity (read: sweat). I just need to give it some time then to dry off/ cool down outside my pocket, and it's all fine again.

New Note 3 screeen showing unusual behaviour

7 days ago I have purchased this new note 3 N900 , the screen today is acting in a weird manner.
Here is what happened, I switched on the phone and then there was only the wallpaper and a dark triangle on the right side of the screen, I rotated screens but the thing remained the same, that is only the background with a dark triangle on the right side of the screen with a little flicker so I had to restart the phone.
Now it's working fine, please suggest should I get this phone replaced, is this some kind of hardware issue.
Also I had purchased a cover for the phone which was actually very hard to remove and I applied a lot of strength on the right side of the screen to get the cover removed, can that have caused the problem.
Also is there any app which I can use to check is there is a problem with the screen or not.
Thank you for your time, please give your valuable suggestion.
I'm running stock android 5.0 the same software that came out of the box.
The screen roughly looked like the image attached below -

Forgot to mention above that earlier I also had this issue where the all apps button on main screen turned to blue while everything was working fine and won't change to normal so I had to restart the phone again in that situation which did fixed that problem.
Would it be possible for someone to clarify that is this some kind of problem cause due to applying excess pressure as the Urban Armor Case I have purchases was really really hard to remove so I had to apply a lot of strength on the right side of the screen, it was so hard to remove that even the official back cover came off with it, can that have caused the issue or is it just a software problem.

S5 top bar random presses!

Got my phone more than a year ago. Had some issues with the damn camera in the first place so I took it to the shop and it was replaced. Then the screen flicker, took them 3 visits for them to finally decide to change the screen. All these were covered by my warranty of course.
Got the marshmallow update around 2 weeks ago and I noticed the phone has been acting weird. Don't know exactly how to put this.
SKIP TO QUESTION
For example if I go to the camera mode and tried changing it from front to back camera or vice versa, I can't until I remove the battery and restart again. It feels like there is a permanent press on the icon you need to change this.
Coincidentally, the position of this icon also lies at the same spot of the whatsapp call icon. So my whatsapp makes random calls to friends.
In short the top part of the screen is randomly clicking itself (don't know if to call it that). I can't swipe downwards on the notification panel without S health opening up too.
Tried formatting the phone but that didn't work. I will probably give it another go and stick with lollipop but I think it is an hardware issue. Anybody else having this problem?
Would have taken it back to the shop but warranty expired few months back.
