HI All, have an intersting problem, was surfing the net via wireless when the unit locked up. Soft reset and now all I get is a white screen. The unit seems to hard reset with the startup sound that the unit makes when you first start it up out of the box, but the screen stays white.
Any Ideas? :roll:
mmm.... Hard Reset :twisted:
HI Xeon,
tried that and still comes up with white screen, but does all the correct things re sounds but all you can see is a totally white screen.
You could try leaving it with the battery removed overnight but it sounds like a hardware problem to me, could be the lcd has died or the connection has come adrift for some reason.
I suggest u Upgrade or reinstall the ROM , maybe something happened to one of the files that should not be modified , anyway , u won't lose anything , u already Hard.Rstd .........
i had the same problem before..i did an upgrade that fixed it. but still have a backup even if its a white screen..after i upgraded i had another problem with the Storage Folder missing..and the list goes on..dont wory you'll know what i mean when you get it..
It happened to me the second day I got my O2 XDA IIs. Hard reset didn't seem to do anything... The unit didn't response to a soft reset either... It was just frozen... I removed the battery, boxed it up and was ready to return it. The next day, just before I was about to drop it off, I was curious and did a reset and everything went back to normal... It never happen to me again... Don't know what happened :?
I have the same problem...
The phone shows white screen white it can recieve & make calls, activesync can recognize it.. But the screen still white !!
Any other suggestions for helping solve this problem..
Is this means that the LCD is dead ?? or the problem in its connectors or it's a software prob. ???

just get a mda3 with a problem
sometimes when i switching the phone on (power button) the backlight is working but the screen remains black so i can't se anything. the phone is working, i can browse the folders, i hear all the sounds but the screen remains black! after a while hes working again.
does anybody had the same problem? and how can i solve the problem?((((
have u tried a hard reset? ive never had this problem so i dont know, tho i guess if u sync with pc and save all all your wanted files and do a hard reset, it may sort it.
i've already tried hard reset, rom updating etc...
the problem is still there...((
i've switch "turn off the phone after 3 minutes" off, maybe it would help...
because problem was appearing most of the time if device was lying for 10-20 minutes without working...
update: nope, it's still black(
Think you have a bad device. A problem that is know is that the backlight will turn itself of (but you can still see the screen). This is some times the case with mine and I have the 1.40 rom, however I have had this problem with other roms so it must be some software that I use.
i'm also thinking so...
now i noticed that if you turn the device on and get a black screen, if you wait a minute he will switch the screen on. but why?
I have this wierd experience with my Imate PDA2K, yesterday, when I open my phone (imate pda2k), the screen suddenly flicker... and then it fades. so i did a soft reset, as i thought would help me out of the problem...But to my surprise, nothing happened, it goes on flickering and fading, until such time, that the screen totally faded, all you can see is a whjite screen with no thing visible.. after minutes of doing a hard reset, still nothing happened, i leave that **** phone on the shelf. after 30 minutes, I checked it and all things back to normal, the screen was ok till a couple of hours, and that same problem happened again till now... What im gonna do? I always end up as if I will throw that silly damn phone to the trash can.. hehe.. What could be the problem then? Is the poroblem was on the LCD? Will the upgrade to v1.40.. solve this? Pls any idea, im desperate
u could try upgrading to 1.40but if that wont work, or if u rather not, if its still under warrenty, get ur provider to fix it.
I have been using CRC 12.11 for a while. A strange problem started all of a sudden. My screen went white although it is working. Soft reset didn't solve the problem. Hard reset solved the problem for a while and then it came back. I noticed this at the time it happens. While everything is fine, the screen fades out, a few lines like scratches appear and then the screen stays white. I hear system sounds, the phone rings but no display. What has caused this?
I flashed another ROM but when my phone restarted it was still white. I hard reset and now I am waiting. If it reappears, it means it is a hardware problem right?

I had this same weird issue once on my rom, i think it's because of the Big storage bug.. Flashed OEM rom and went away.. only saw it once!
I reflushed several ROMs that I used to have before without problems and still have the same. I can't install OEM, I think it's because of the bootloader version but I don't remember exactly the procedure to correct this and I don't know if it's worth the effort in downgrading to OEM.
Another thing I just noticed is that the screen is not aligned in the center. There is a small gap on top of the screen as if the image has moved downwards. Maybe this is the cause of the problem. Noone had similar issue? I don't believe it has to do with big storage because I have been using it fot a while and this never happened before, not even once.
Any ideas will be apreciated as my only choice right now is to buy a new phone.
same thing
i´ve been looking around and some people say is because the magnet in the pouches, affect in some way to the screen ribbon or something like that.
that is a common problem with the hermes, if u search the forum u'll find a couple of threads like this.
it's a hardware problem, next symptoms will be the green/red buttons and d-pad stoping to work
I know theres a few links in the FAQ about the white screen issue, its fixable in some cases.
problem solved!!!
i just took it apart, one of the ribbons which connect the green and red buttons was kindda folded also the connectors , so i just blow some compress air and tried to unfold the ribbon, put it back together and voila! like new. Just be carefull cause it´s like fragil.
same exact problem word for word
The same exact thing happened to my hermes. I guess I can attempt to put mechanical skills to work and fix this problem.
So, I left my Artemis in my RAM Aqua Box waterproof phone case attached to my motorcycle while I ran into the store.
I came out, started the bike and started the ride home. That was when I noticed the white screen and my tunes had stopped playing. I've seen it happen before (while turning off the phone in camera mode, etc), but a simple soft reset always fixed it. Not this time...
For two days now I've flashed it back to factory, installed my latest ROM (twice), reconfigured all my settings, etc, only to have the phone seize up by fading to the White Screen Of Death. The only fix is to remove the battery and let it sit for a bit. I have found however I can get the phone to run longer if I put it in the freezer for 15 mins, then it runs as it should until it warms up.
Sometimes it will work for half a day, other times it will fade out even before the soft reset boots up again. It really doesn't like being plugged in to charge or sync.
Now for some more background info. It did get deathly hot in the case I have because it has a clear face, is sealed, and it was sunny. Also, I started the bike when the phone was plugged in. I've heard this is bad for the charging circuit, but I'm leaning to the overheating as being the seminal event of the start of my sorrows because I've started the bike/truck many times with the phone plugged in. Did my luck run out?
What have I done, and how do I fix it?
i have had a white screen problem on my phone to it would go like this when just left on or when wanting to flash it in boot mode i have taken both sim card and memory card out and i have found that the memory care is curupted and works fine now will have to formate the memory card in order for it to work properly in the phone again
htc artimis 02 orbit
Yes, you can remove your memory card.
Just had similar problem. Possible reason: ROM update. Possible solution - ROM changed again (different) and hard reset. Hopefully everything will be ok. Until now (9 hours) - it is!

It may help someone.
Now I am going to try android on my phone, wish me luck.
