Hello !
The bottom of my screen is completly black but the touchscreen is still working.
I went running with my phone in my hand and the weather was vert cold. At first the bottom half of my screen was flickering/grey and then it went completly black
What I already try to solve the issue :
- install TWRP and wipe everything
- disconnect the battery from the phone
Any thoughts ? How could I know if it comes from the motherboard or the screen?
Water droplets must of have got into the motherboard. Unfortunately you can't fix a hardware issue through twrp. I would recommend replacing the motherboard. Good luck

Hello !
Got a problem with my hermes yesterday, all fine ten i got white screen, to soft reset and remove of battery fix it for half hour. When i get home i unscrew back cover and without it all fine, no issue as i will put it on top of the phone again white screen ?
I try everything and still the same, cover up white screen, cover out no problem.
There are lots of posts on the white screen problem and no very easy answers. In your case it sounds like a connector problem. The connector is getting squeezed with the back cover on. The most likely connector to cause the problem is the D/pad to screen ribbon cable connector. (the one with two tiny screws).
Beware though, if you dismantle and re-set that connector it might not solve the problem and could make it worse - it's a gamble you take!

Thx mate !
It worked very well ! But now i have to get rid of this mobile
THx Very much !
Hello,
I'm facing the following situation:
I droped my Trinity and the LCD broke on the left side pretty bad. It booted fine after that (the LCD was still visible on the right side) but after 10-15 seconds it just froze. The hardware buttons were not working, nor the touch commands. I could only rest the phone with the stylus.
I successfully replaced the LCD by myself and now I'm stuck with the freeze. I was hoping the freeze will disappear but I have the same symptoms as before.
I tried a hard-reset but after that the phone froze during the booting process with the logo on the screen.
I entered the bootloader and connected the phone to the PC. It worked just fine and the freeze didn't occur anymore. I uploaded a new ROM but again, during the booting process I got the goddamn freeze.
I was hoping that everything beside the LCD survived the crash but I'm starting to have second thoughts.
I would appreciate any advice or hints on how to find what could cause my problem.
Thanks
If its freezing up on you then I would imagine you've caused some hardware damage.
Like you, I would have hoped that replacing the broken LCD woudl fix it, but there's nothing to say you havent partially damaged or dislodged something else, especially if it was a high-impact drop...
PS
I wouldnt try doing any more uploads to it either if I were you. If it freezes up during one of those then you could end up trashing the program area of your device too!...
Hi guys,
I had quite the same problem, without braking the lcd but anyway it fellt from a airplane onboarding bridge :-( and then it has started to randomly freeze.
I think I may have found something. I've noticed that when I press strongly the battery it's not freezing anymore!
I've opened the phone and saw that under the little metalic protection's plate there were a contact plate between a little black component and this metallic protection'splate. I've cleaned it, apply some thermal past (like cooling artic) and the I've put a little sheet of paper between the plastic frame and the metallic protection's plate. I've all remounted.. And surprise!!! not one freeze since two day!!
I hope it will last.. but if yes this s F### great
ähm.. I release any kind of responsabilities concerning this action. I'm not a professional but as soon as it has work for me I wanted to share it ;-)
Seeeervus!!
Dodjob.
hay from today morning my htc touch shows a white screen and a crack on the bottom corner of the screen.i am sure that it dint fell down.
then what may be the problem?
anyone knows pls tell me...
white screen?
When you turn on your phone, there is no smart mobility.
Crack?
Is that an LCD problem?
i have the same problem with the WHITE SCREEN. bought my ELF 3450 second hand over the net. i am from the Philippines by the way and HTC units are not yet very common here and also the parts/accessories. it worked fine for about 3 months with minor problems such as Auto-Restart/Auto Power On/OFf which was solved using the "plastic on the OMAP chip method" - tnx for the forum for the info by the way and charging problems which was also solved by buying me a aftermarket charger. but recently the problem of AUTO OFF occurred again until it did not work at all. so, i tried to check the Plastic over my chip but to no avail the fone was dead. so, i decided to head to one of our local cellphone repair shops and have my OMAP heated thinking that maybe there are just contact points inside who became loose. when we tried to power on it was good for a few minutes then i noticed the screen went darker and darker and then it was all WHITE. we restarted it but it's just WHITE. tried to send messages and call it but there is no response from the fone. i'm afraid i toast it bad or may be it's just the LCD who got toasted, i am clueless.
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME WITHMY PROBLEM. CAN I GIVE LIFE BACK TO MY ELF? WHAT'S THE CHEAPEST & BEST SOLUTION TO THIS? THANX ...
Generally white screen problem are caused by defects in flex connecting the LCD to the mainboard or the connector itself. Try to disconnect and reconnect the LCD, if doesn't work - replace the LCD.

You warmed the OMAP? Interesting....
This problem sounds really complicated.
And im quite surprised of your 'warming' method.
I've had the exact same problem combined with the fact that my touch was resetting constantly. I was about a minute away from throwing it out of the window when I tried the plastic-piece-on-omap processor-technique described in one of the threads here. It solved the rebooting problem, but not the white screen issue. After a very frustrating couple of days where the screen started to blink and shake and then eventually turned to white alltogether, I lowered my brightness to the second stop from start, and since then I haven't experienced the white screen anymore. I believe it is heatrelated.
Whilst not being a full solution to the problem, at least it renders the phone usable.
Hope this helps anyone.
Heating the device very seldomly solves anything, but causes more problems that you originally started with.
iam using htc touch (p 3450) for nearly 18 months . (bought & using it in india ) my hand set fell two times in water and about 15 times fell on the floor (from shirt pocket) . still its working fine .
and iam using "opera mini " for browsing the internet . for some sites iam using "opera mobile " . when iam on opera mini , continueously for long ours , suddenly it turns white . never come to normal screen unless restarted . but it happens sometimes , may be because of memory or heating up of some H/W .
Hi hotchamo,
my htc touch elf hat a similary issue, and my father just "wringed" it gently until the white screen disappeared. You should try it carefully, since it may help and it won't harm. Just take in in both hands and turn them in the opposite direction, so that the case gets slightly twisted.
If that doesn't help you should open it and check the LCD flat cable connector...
Best regards,
scheutak
Again - flex connector problem. 'Wringing' it gently will eventually result in your LCD cracking, by all means - go for it, it will solve your white screen problem. Permanently.
Ok..so i've been using my TMOUS Hd2 for sometime,but suddenley i see a scary brown patch on the white screen of my hd2..like a ghost looking at me..you know i mean..my question here ,is it a faulty lcd? or motherboard issue? or digitizer? but hey wait let me tell you everything works fine..the touch is perfect no screen lags,no freeze on screen..working flawless only when the phone pulls up white background like browser & start up screen "stick together" overall any white background the brown patch shows up..can anyone confirm this issue..any fix?Please let me know.. appreciate all the help..thanks much
Attaching the pic of brown patch ghost sitting inside my Hd2
if it is located around the middle, top half of the creen, it could be pressure related to an expanding battery. Does the patch get worse if you press on it? It seems illogical that a glass screen would be susceptible to newtonian pressure rings, but in the case of an expanding battery, when you press the screen, the pressure is actually coming from the back.
I've had like a dozen HD2's, and first noticed it when I used an aftermaket battery, which after a few months started getting thicker and thicker and I noticed the newtonian pressure rings. If that's the case with you, go back to the stock battery, or take out the battery door and try it again to see if problem goes away. If it goes away, you know it's time for another $3 ebay battery!
@ atlaswing did you actually check the screenshot attached? the brown patch is not just in the middle it's starting from the bottom and going upward..like a volcano eruption..u know i mean?..i haven't used aftermarket battery,but yes i did buy one to keep it handy..so i'm using the original battery,but well i see that the water damage sticker on the phone battery outlet inside it looks white so its not water damaged i still got void sticker on..so never opened for service,but yes the sticker on battery has turned lil pinkish white..not red to be called water damaged.probably moisture or kinda stuff,but my concern is what i said above ,its like a brown patch all around the white screen,which don't make any issues with the usage or touch or any hang or freeze
Anyone know if this is an issue with the digitizer or just the lcd screen?
I would lean towards lcd but would need device in hand to be more sure.
lcd has a plastic film on it so could be an issue with that ...
Hello,
I have phone D802 , it didn't fall down or anything but since I turn it on today the screen turns just grey with points (like a tv without signal) or it boot's up normaly (Shoes normal bootanimation of RR without flickering) and than when it boots to system it's total crazy colors and flickering, I can't see anything, when I go to TWRP it flickers too so I think it's hardware problem? I have no more warranty... Anyone can help me please?
Mine got that problem too. I had to put some pretty thick (about 1mm) double-sided tape between both 2 display (I guess) connectors and plastic screwed shield.
It's my third day without flickering screen since the fix.
I hope it'll help
