Hello there.
My HTC HD2 has been giving me some problems lately.I have recently noticed that there are flickering magenta/pink bars flickering horizontally across screen.
I have neither dropped the phone nor have i applied pressure on the screen since i carry it in my jacket breast pocket.
I am just wondering if anybody here has came across a similar issue.Virgin media are trying to absolve themselves of any responsibility, claiming that the fault is down to reckless handling.
Thanks
bumping the thread
I'm getting blue and pink bars intermittently appearing. My HD2 has been sent off for repair under warranty. Gutted. Back to a very bog standard SE handset for the time being.
I'm glad your getting yours repaired.Virgin are claiming that the HTC warranty does not cover this particular fault.
lying bastards.

Have you in the mean time got the problem fixed, and if so, how? As of today I am experiencing the same problems, and don't know if its worthwhile sending the phone in to HTC for repair.
I occasionally get vertical green flickering bars but only ever when sense is on screen which makes me think that it isnt a hardware issue. Anyone else experiencing this only whilst on a manila screen??
Hi,
I work in telecomms at the moment and can tell you that Virgin Media are not responsible for Hardware faults but should replace the device if you have the original boxing etc. This issue must be linked to the Pink Hue problem that the stock wm6.5 roms came with on the camera, try downloading the HOTFIX for the pink hue and that should do it, if not then I recommend trying a new ROM; as it only happens every now and again its not the physical screen but the ROM itself that is causing the flickering. Im not an expert but these two potential fixes come to mind.
If you need more help then let me know.
Blue lines on screen
For about a week I had blue lines across the screen no matter what screen in the phone I was on. I tried changing ROMs and Radios and nothing changed but then after a few days it just stopped happening and hasn't re-appeared since. I would say just upgrade ROM and radio and hopefully that might help.
Good luck
had that before, its a sign of problems with the screen, usually causes by faulty connection of the digitizer or of the LCD. you might want to call HTC as it usually caused by influx in temperature.
this is covered by HTC warranty just call HTC directly and they will fix it for sure, might only have to pay for shipping there.

Hey I never thought of that, thanks dude, you learn something everyday here.
Hi guys same problem here, for over a month now. It got worse and now is: color failure, lines that flicker or constant remaining lines especially in the home tab. I will check through my guarantee, i have done nothing wrong to harm it.As much as i like this phone it seems that problems are endless(...restart...etc)
Hey,
the easiest way to repair sir is call HTC, mail it in to them and they will fix as it is a hardware fault. If you call T-mobile they might not, but if u directly call HTC they will.

Hi guys I got my phone 3 days ago and I'm completely in love with it but I see many people complaining about ghost touch and burn in effect (ghost scream or dead pixels), mine is just perfect, I avoid using my scream light more than 50% or use while charging but I'd like to know if we can avoid those problems that seem to be a regular in Moto G4 plus because we need support here in brazil we are lost hah
So are there any suggestion on how to save my phone of having any of those problems in a near future? thank you
@lexie90
Actually this problems can not be cured, just reduced...
Check which type of Display panel does your phone have.. [ https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...ntifying-lcd-panel-ghost-screen-burn-t3470472 ]

Thank you, by what I have read in this thread my scream is LGD so I mostly like will have a burn in than Ghost Touch? if so can I avoid it by using lower brightness and blue light filter before the problem happens? any suggestions?

Frankly saying, i never had any of both, i don't know how those apps work.. but i read from many one, screen burn can not be completely avoided, you can just reduce the effect.. most of them says to use "bluelight filter or similar app at ~15% value.. it will reduce the display performance, but as it's new phone and don't have any problems you can see at what lower % it looks fine...:good:

So I have a boe panel. Been experiencing Ghost Touches when connected to home theatre or Charger. should I change my display?
Note - since the MPJ24.139-63 update, Ghost touches have been reduced to 5 to 10 percent while charging.
Thank You.

No need to change OR you can, no one will guarantee that you will not face same in new one too.. Just lock the screen, it is only we can do to prevent functioning unwanted apps / actions...

Ok bro. I will just lock the screen next time. Thanks a lot. It's a great phone. Pity we have to face such a pathetic issue. Also do you think I should return my phone? The only problem I have are This ghost touches. They ain't severe, just happens sometimes when I connect the phone to a charger. Do you think they will get severe in future?
10 days down with this phone and no problems. I avoid using while charging and always use low light, as for now its working, hopefuly as mine is made on 12/16 motorola fixed this thing up

Well I am happy for you bro. BTW what Charger do you use?
Have you tried charging with a different Charger?
I face the same issue of ghost touch (since the beginning of when I bought the phone)... However the only workaround I could get is that now I use a power bank to charge.. I guess it's the AC supply that's causing some grounding issues to ghost touch... power banks have DC output so I don't face any ghost touches with this..
OK, so I am unfortunately also a prey to screen burning , leaving screen burns all over the display during heavy usage.
solution : install blue light filter (hardy-infinity) from play store
After installing, select black colour as the filter colour option and set transparency/opacity to 3% ,. Done !!!! No more screen burns ! Enjoy??

So guys I got to see a little burn in today, not that bad and seen to have disapeared by using one of those apps that will leave collors lighting on your screen for hours... I left it for like 1h and it seem to have worked but I'd like to know if there are any way to fix it without having my panel changed
I have ghosting on the screen. I can see a ghost of a few iconsfrom the home screen and the statusbar. How can I fix this or do I need to buy a new phone?

They are prob apps you had their a really long time and you prob run you brightness up pretty high as most daytime users do causing the images to burn into the screen , unfortunately you will need to replace the screen itself off me phone time
Iam planning to buy moto g4 plus, i heared there were 2 batches with 2 types of screens LGD and BOE . please tell me how to check the screen details of this mobile. and also please tell me what should i check before and after buying this mobile as this is highly controversial model. Thans in advance
Install DevCheck System Info. Search for the 'Hardware' section, and then scrolll down till you find "Panel", it displays which screen do you have (BOE or LGD).
You shouldn't check anything else, since the only bugs of this model come from the screen (always can exist an exception, like in every smartphone).
Short story:
LGD = possible image retention (can be fixed).
BOE = possible ghost touches while it's connected to a PC/Charger (can't be fixed).
Thank you
Thank you very much ..
Sir,
I just found that my screen is an LGD . should i worry about image retention ? is it common in all devices ? (my device mfg date - september-2016).
Is there anything else should i be careful at or worry about ? please suggest..
thank you

Sir, I have a BOE display. As per your post, it can't be fixed. But will it be replaceable for free, if I go to the service centre?

Yes, it should. Since it's a manufacture fault recognized by Lenovo. Some BOE screens will never suffer from this fault, is not my case, mine has ghost touches when is conected to a PC, since the zero day, but it is not big deal for me, obviously is a clear failure and can be very annoying for these who need to use their phones conected to a PC or wall charger (in my case i never faced ghost touches while is connected to a charger).
@pinke93
In the case of the screens made by LG, the image retention can be corrected setting all the 3 RGB values to 240, you will need root for this. Some people uses a blue filter app from the PlayStore that does not requires root (i didn't test this method).
I "fixed" a normal moto G4 from a friend, with LGD screen doing the RGB value re-setting.
You should not be worried about something else, and is not a certain that it's going happen to your device.

Thank you very much. I agree with you. It's not a problem at all since I do not use my phone that much while it is charging. Moreover the turbopower technology gives me at least 80% charge in nearly 1 hour or so. But in emergency cases, say during doing a phone call, sending important messages, when the ghost touch starts popping up it is indeed really annoying. So as per your advice, I will have to go to the service centre to replace the display panel. And by the way I have rooted my device on the very first day I purchased my device.

Same here haha, i bought this device because my Nexus 5x die, that model has a terrible design failure (same as LG G4), suddenly it went turned off and never could relive it (hardware break: the welding that holds the CPU attached to the mainboard get broke). So, the ghost touch issue for me is literally nothing.

Yes. Despite packing some decent hardware, the Nexus 5X always had these problems. Even some had filed a lawsuit against google. But I don't think its entirely google's fault. It was the fault of the OEM's, and LG (for Nexus 5X) and Huawei (for Nexus 6P) faced lots of criticisms from the customers.

Thank you very much sir,
But, I dont want to root my mobile . iam not a techie ,not good at this kind of stuff, so dont want to void my warranty... as you suggested i think colour filter apps might work.
And, Incase if i get this issue in future, can i request the service center to change my display to boe ?
when i connect my earphones to moto g4 plus, its not showing any icon on status bar ( headset icon that we generally see at the top ), please tell me how to get it.
Thank you once again.

The company is bound to replace your screen under warranty
Also you wanted headphone icon in status bar
For that swipe down from top on home screen and long press on settings icon you will see it rotating then leave it. You will get a toast notification that system ui tuner ....
Then go to settings you will see a new section at bottom called system ui tuner under that you will find status bar and then you can select icon to show
Thank you @ Sobhan Bhuyan.
will try it
It's no secret that premature screen burn-in is an issue with the 2 XL. And at this point there are a few solutions to prevent it from happening to you right from the beginning, such as enabling full immersive mode, using Nav Bar Apps to change the nav bar color per app, or Pie Control to replace the bottom nav bar completely.
However, this doesn't help those who've already experienced screen burn-in on their phone. This morning I stumbled across an article that discussed how to fix screen burn-in on the Galaxy S8 and prevent it from happening again. What really caught my eye with this article is the mentioning of a screen burn-in fixer app that reverses screen burn-in. Until now, I didn't think it was possible to reverse screen burn-in so now I'm very curious. However, reviews of this app on the play store are saying it reversed the screen burn-in for S8 owners, within minutes.
Since I've been in full immersive mode with Pie Control from the beginning, I don't have burn-in to test this with. So I wanted to post here to see if someone who has some screen burn-in on their 2 XL would be willing to test this app and let us know if it does, in fact, reverse your screen burn-in.
I'm very intrigued by this. If it does work then it would appear that this screen burn-in issue is not nearly as big of a deal as previously thought, since it can be easily fixed.
Here is a link to the app in question:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...edburninfix&rdid=com.tinyroar.amoledburninfix
and a link tot he article that discusses it:

The problem is my phone doesn't have burn-in because I've been full immersive mode since minute 1. so I'm not a good person to test it. We need to find someone with burn-in to run a before/after test. Ideally, a before picture of their phone showing the nav bar burn-in then an after picture showing the same screen area, ideally without the burn-in.
Haven't looked in detail but most of these apps invert the colors around the problem areas to even out the differential aging. "Burn in" as people call it is the pixels in (for ex) the nav bar buttons aging faster than the pixels in the nav bar background. So when displaying a uniform color those more mature pixels appear to stand out. So the theory is to expedite the aging process of the pixels around the buttons to even out the differential aging on those pixels. So in theory it should work if what you're trying to do is even out differential aging.

I don't use an app. I edited my build.prop to disable the nav bar completely within the system. This method requires root, though.

Question: Does active edge still work when you disable the navbar via build.prop edits?
you cant fix burnin
contact google via the support chat from your phone. tell them you got burning and theyll replace it for free
when you get your new phone you need to turn on immersive mode using adb
adb shell
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

I've had a crash at that part before during boot, without rectification (by turning off manually) it would have been there forever.... It would take something like that burn the G logo in for sure.
The nav bar isn't strictly burn in, it's the opposite. Because the nav bar is usually black the rest of the screen "burns in" earlier.
I have my nav bar white and have done for a couple of weeks and the burn "out" has almost equalised itself.

I RMA'd my first Pixel 2 XL for burn in and it had the G right in the middle of the screen. The same G as the boot sequence. Mine had never been stuck on the boot sequence like you mention, but I had rebooted the phone a lot in the first week (not rooted or messed with software).
My manufacture date was 7th October, so one of first batches.
Google RMA'd it straight away once I sent them a photo of it.
My replacement isn't as bad, but does have burn-in on the top and bottom nav bars.
I'm waiting a few months then RMA again, should be better quality screens coming out now.
