I wonder if anyone can help. I did search the site but couldn't find anyone with similar problems.
The problem is the screen colours are 'messed up' and it rarely displays the screen correctly. I know its a problem like a lose or damaged connection inside the phone but I want to know if it will get fixed out of warranty? If so where do I start?
If the warranty is useless then I will crack the phone open and have a look myself, but I didn't want to open it if HTC will fix it.
Its an O2 XDA IIs by the way with the latest O2 software.
Here is a pic:

It doesn't look too bad in that pic, but it gets worse and sometimes fades to white.
Thanks
F355,
Akthough I'm no specialist, it remonds me a problem I had with a graphic card a while ago. It could well be that the graphic chip on the main board is giving way.
If such is the case and the device is still under warranty, u know what to do!

Thats the problem I think its out of warranty. I remember I had a Nokia 8210 about 4 years ago and they fixed that even out of warranty, just wondering if HTC are as good customer service wise. Its probably wear and tear but surely it should be designed to last. My XDA I is much better quality, shame its so big, slow and has no features.
Well I contacted O2 data support and they said that O2 XDAs come with 2 years warranty (the phone is 1yr 1m old) so they are sending a pre-paid envelope and hopefully fixing it.
The only problem is because its 'screen damage' they might not fix it even in warranty and I will have to pay £17 handling fee. :roll:

I payed £90 for my XDA2s, which seems to be in about the same condition apart from the camera works, and anyhow, i wouldn't think a non working camera tis that big a deal on these things, it isnt amazing anyhow

HI everyboy
I've got a problem with my Qtek wish someone can help me
So, i'm asking about a braid (wish it's the right word) compatible with my Qtek, the problem is that hear i can't find original one, so i'm asking about any other phone that got the same.
Wish you've got a idea
Thx in advance
What?
What do you mean with braid?
Here you can't? or you can't hear?
Please give us more info men!
Hi and thx for the quick replay

Flexible.... well i know its hard to get one of this parts cause are very weak... i has one... how many does you thing it costs?
hey Que...nice pimping with your BA..love it man!
basically if the flex that connects the lcd to the board is damaged it is more advisable to replace the whole lcd itself but of course it's kinda expensive. I got the same problem way way back but sadly did not find any replacement here(phil) for the flex so I was forced to buy a new lcd....
HI
thx for the replies, thx i think i'll never forget it the FLEX, i don't know how much it cost, even i can't but one from europe or USA, cuz i'm living in algeria, so there's no way, i was just thinking that maybe there's some cellphones that got the same flex so i'll just use. if you have any idea, please inform me.
Thx
Mmmmmm?
I think there are two different flex types i mean version!
My bro has a BA but he bricks it when he tried to change the Audio plug in... I know he is a fool
BTW if you want... I can send you the flex just pay the shipping cost... let me check that flex maybe is hard solded to the display...
I toldyou that history cause i tried to connect that display to my BA and it wont works... i think there are differnete revision versions of the display or mother board... ou can check the Part Number behind the flex... may is the same i got... what do you think?
I'm considering buying the phone because i loved the phone's light weight and crisp display. But, a reviewer(for pocketnow) said that the VZ Navigator always crashes and makes the phone almost unusable until he reboot it. So, I wanna ask if this problem occurs in every Lg Spectrums...

So just uninstall VZ Navigator? I mean, I don't know why all these carriers slap their own navigation on top of the G-Maps one.
Well.... Maybe I should.
But I don't like installing a custom launcher or jailbreaking the phone.
I received an message from a reviewer works for Wirefly, saying that his LG runs VZ navigator smoothly. So, maybe that's just his issue.

I don't mean any offense by this at all, but if you're not going to root (jailbreak) your phone, you're pretty much on the wrong forum. That's all we do around here.
I have a reason for that;
after i use the phone for a month, i will bring this back to korea, where LG provides excellent customer service. But they don't take care of handsets bricked by rooting. So, I want to root it at least 1 years after I bought the phone.
Before you do anything to your phone, would you please make a screenshot of Settings -> About phone (scroll to the bottom)
I'd like to make sure our unbricked phones have the same data there.
Screenshot can be taken by pressing at the same time power button and home button, the images stored in /sdcard/Captured Images/
(first time I see a linux with spaces in the filenames..go figure)

About a week ago I started having the same issue as the person who started this thread:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25020-screen-pixelated/
Now my question is, I have a ding in the casing of my phone that happened long before the screen issues. Would Verizon warranty my phone even with the ding in it? Seeing how the screen problems aren't related to the ding? And if they were to, would they charge me full retail for the replacement phone once they get my old one and see the ding?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Here's a picture of the ding in case anyone asks.
It looks worse in the picture than it really is.

Bad thread URL, bro. But for them to deny warranty work, they have to prove that the ding is related, so I would say you are good, as long as you arent taking it to them for the ding.

Link fixed Adryn
Thanks for the catch.
That's a little bigger than a "ding"...
As adrynalyne said, unless they think the screen issues are related to the case damage, you should be good. Kinda depends on the CS rep you get.

Hello,
I've had my desire for almost a year now, and it broke yesterday... I was playing with my 6-year old nephews, and my desire fell out of my pocket. I didn't know that it was broken until I wanted to check my whatsapp a few hours later, and when I did, the screen was like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
... (lol the image is way too big)The touchscreen is working fine, I can turn it on and unlock it, I can even send an whatsapp, because I knew where the icon was. So what should I do with it? Repair it if it's possible? How much would that cost? I now have an iPhone 3gs as stand-in, should I keep that for as long as my contract lasts (1 year)? Or should I buy a new one? If so, which one would you advise me? A cheap one please, as I want to save for the PS4 later this year.
I'm running Sandvolds ICS for those that want to know...
Thanks!
There's a possibility that the screen cable is slightly disconnected. Try to disassemble the phone, and check the cable.
Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try
Edit: Yeah I tried to take it apart, seems I've got no T5 screwdriver at home... Basically, if I would take it apart I would have not any idea what te screen cable is... Is it the LCD connecter? I do know quite a bit about software and that sort of stuff, but I'm a n00b at replacing hardware :S

I had the exact same screen on my Desire :silly:
That screen is broken and you need to replace it. I would recomend a professional to do it because I tried to do it myself and I destroyed my phone. And the other thing if you decide to go on with replacement - Desire had two different screen types and every type had one or two subtypes which are NOT compatible with each other so you need to know exactly what type of screen you have
