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...

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.
Hello everyone,
First of all I don't post this issue in the yellowish side thread, because this isn't what happens to me. Mi tint applies to the whole screen and it's more a green kind of tint.
I've got a SGS2 since the day it was released in Spain (20ish of May), but until yesterday I didn't know anyone else who had it. A friend of mine bought it recently from Vodafone, and yesterday we compared screens (I was showing him roms and introducing him to Android etc.).
Point is, both on Cognition KH3, his S2 showed a real grey-blueish colour, whilst mine has this greenish aspect. I couldn't make a photograph in that moment, but I simply did a screencapture of the notification tray, and opened it from my pc displayed on a correctly calibrated monitor.
This is the result:
h**p://img689.imageshack.us/img689/4429/img2776wp.jpg
(Can't post pics, sorry about that, new user)
I've tried full wipe (memory cards included), stock roms, cognition, leomar, lightning, speedmod, ninphetamine; been tryin' supercurio's Screentune app (which partly solves this phone's banding problem) and nothing.
The phone is set on autobrightness, Standard effect, no LED energysave or whatsoever.
Question is, should I take it to the tech service? Is this the usual SAmoled screen? Am I just a neurotic a**hole?
No big deal I think, I have simillar greenish tint, doesnt bother me that much, I believe it's not that much visible. Yes your's is little bit deeper, I also have phone released as one of the first in UK, maybe a problem of first batch? Question: what are the 2 arrows pointing up and down on your picture in the info pull down menu? Next to wifi icon and bluetooth? Is it something added from your operator? What it does? I don't have it on my SGS. Thx.

It's relieving to know I'm not the only one, and that maybe this is a general issue on the first units of this phone. Maybe could be solved with software?
ps: The arrows are simply a Data Connection toggle added in the some custom ROMs . In this case as I said it's Cognition's latest ROM.
Hi all,
Help pls, i have a major problem now on my Wave, the screen of my phone turns darker several times up to the screen turns black so that i cant see anything on the screen. Ive tried hard reset several times, but still this problem occur.
What will be the cause of this problem? Pls help me.
Thanks
Hmmm...
I saw this effect only if battery is nearly empty...
Then Wave reduce light... or shut down Display...
Maybe some Error in battery check?
Best Regards
hmm i think you are right, so maybe the problem is the battery? If yes, how to do the battery check?
TIA.
Note: This problem occur even the battery is almost full and not yet empty. When the phone's screen are darker, i am going to wait a certain period of time to back to normal screen then after few minutes, screen turns darker again.
Did you check your display time out settings?
Check Display and Light in settings then check your backlight time settings.
It may be just following the time out settings in there.
Its normal for the display to turn off after a predetermined set time.

thanks but its not with the backlight settings, coz even i set the backlight settings in 15 seconds, my phones turns darker before 15 seconds.
i think its a hardware problem, but im not sure of that, that's why i am asking some experts here
I only knows that battery can die... or be half dead.
I bought new one for my S8530...
Maybe you have chance to test OTHER battery.
Best Regards

just tried to test with a new battery but still my problem exist. Some technicians said that its a hardware problem, it needs new LCD screen replacement (new amoled screen) to be specific.
Sad that my phone has this problem, its almost 2 years but i've damaged my phone. I dont know why this happen, i love my phone i cant do anything wrong to make this happen
Maybe its time to replace my phone with a new one no Bada anymore its time to try Android
If you have to buy a new phone
If circumstances do force you to buy a new phone, get the galaxy s2 or if you can take the size, the galaxy note.
My wave is still alive and kicking so i wont be upgrading anytime soon since i bought my mom an entertainment system instead of buying a new phone.
Didnt really need a new one anyway.
ive read from internet about my problem and it seems that this is a common problem of super amoled screen.
anyone knows what is the cause of dimmer screen on super amoled/amoled?
Common?
The amoled version of the desire that my friend has is still going strong almost 3 years ol and lots of wave 8500 phones are still going strong, i think what happened to your phone was luck of the draw.
If your forced to buy a new phone just get the galaxy s2 or the droid razr max.
Hello everyone,
Got a problem with my Galaxy note 3 amoled screen. Couple months ago some lines appeared on that, look like artefacts or dead pixels or something, not really sure. Didn't drop/drop in water the device before that. No idea why that happen. But, they don't go.
Tried some dead pixels apps from market with no success.
Due to certain reasons cannot give the device to repair service, so, need to try to fix that by myself.
OS version is 4.3, if that matters.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Will attach the screenshot. The line in the middle. Have few of them already. Background is green, to make it more visible.
Thanks!

Looks more like heat damage to the screen adhesive than a software/electronic defect, to me. I'm just guessing here, but could it have been left in a spot where a beam of focused light could burn the screen? Mine has a few little defects on the screen from where a water bottle on a window ledge focused the sunlight onto a point on the screen.
factory reset.
Flash stock rom and see .
Thanks for replies guys,
One more thing I probably should mention,
The line on the attached pic is maximized, the real lines are quite small, like 3-5mm length. Really small. But anyway visible...
Jaitsu,
Hmm tried to recall but don't think something like that happened. Sometimes I use my phone as GPS when riding bike, means it's outside under the sun (but not a focused light or something), max. 1 hour per time. Could that be reason?
Also, did you find any way to fix that, by yourself?
I read about several ways to fix screen issues, including leaving phone without battery for some time, or even placing it into the freezer. Tried battery method yesterday with no result, but kind of worry about the freezer...

Yes factory reset is a common advice but you really think it might help? Looks like a hardware issue to me. Can a software glitch damage the display? Also, lines are everywhere on the screen, not like one certain place.
Will give it a try if nothing else found, just, sounds uncommon...
Agree probably hardware but a factory reset rules out firmware .
Thats the first step for a service tech sheet .
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.
