Dears,
I faced the white screen the first time last Thu. I migrated my device (Jasjam) to Black Pro 2.0 on Wed. and started to get the white screen on Thu.
I was going arround it by few turn-of turn-on untill today morning when I noticed that the screen shifted down by 1mm. In fact more precisly, rotated down 1mm. Starting with the splash screens, the Windows booting screen and the Windows later. Everything is rotated down by the 1mm meaning what is disapearing from bottom is showing on top!
I got to the device through the mtty and ran task 2a, everything was okay. Then I ran task 28 and task 8. The deveice booted with the sae shifting problem. I installed the latest LVSW 05Apr07, the same problem still although the Windows is working fine. Switching the device off will not switch the screen off immediatly, the screen goes in fade-away type of action for about 2 minutes until it totally powers off.
Any idea? Does that mean I am loosing the mobile? Please help.
Appreciating all help.
Regards.

what bootloader version are you running?
Many thanks trashcan for your quick response. I have removed the battery for 5 minutes, the screen was still showing that last image. I keept the battery out for 15 minutes untill the screen was totally off. Reruting the battery resolved the ****ing issue, thanks again.
Also thanks to walshieau, the device has IPL-1.01 and SPL-1.40.Olipro.
Regards.
Regards.
The bad part of the news is that the white screen is still comming!!!
Any clue?
Regards.
I thought of sharing this with you
I have just done the follwoing:
> Updated (again) the device with SSPL-1.40
> Re-flashed the device Force through SSPL the new OS (LVSW)
The phone looks better, however I got the white screen two times in about five minutes.
Wat else I should do? Please share your experience.

Read?
1) Ensure that you have 1.40.Oli by checking the bootloader screen.
2) Run the upgrade, but, select AUTO DETECT! DO NOT CLICK FORCE SSPL!
3) White screen gone

not quite, the ROM image affects some devices, I'll redo Black 2.0 like I redid LVSW if this keeps happening.
It is getting worse now ... I do not know what is happening
Good morning,
Thanks LegoLasTheElf and Olipro for you input, I started to patch the device again and although everything was normal, the update program sayed the connecting was lost and took me to a recovery screens which just went into a loop (repeating the same steps with no hope).
The device is on the bootloader (tri-color) screen. I tried getting into it using the mtty and set 14 0 (as I found it on on of the posts) however it did not help.
Could someone tell me please to to get the device to boot normal again.
Regards.

Many thanks Olipro for your continued help.
I have gove through your topic on the white screen and I posted you a reply there. The megaupload site is blocked in my area, if possible please mirror it on another site, i.e. 4shared.com
Regards.
I have exactly the same White Screen symptoms and more recently, the 1 mm screen shift problem too. I removed my battery for 15 mins and the screen shift temporarily went away but on the next reset, it is back :-(
I have SPL-1.40 Olipro but am unable to download the LVSW to resolve White Screen as Megaupload never works in my area. Can someone post that ROM to Rapidshare please.
Thanks a ton!

Alright, I have the same problem here. Now before anybody comes on here and tell me to read this and that, I've tried everything.
From going back to 1.01MFG, mtty the OS, use 1.40, use customRUU, leaving the battery out for 5mins, 15mins, hours, over night. Even tried going back to the original ROM and still nothing, the same damn white screen. As far as I am concerned, the intervals are actually getting worse and it comes on more often.
Anybody has any other ideas beside the ones that are posted everywhere. Trust me I've been trying to fix this for over a week now and I have read everything on here.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys

@BCRX7- After the WHITNESS from LVSW and then black1.2 I used this QTEK rom. It got rid of the white screen. Then I used Olipro's modified ROM. I am now running BLACK2.0 with no problems. Props OLIPRO and JasJammin!!!
i solved my white screen in a different and strange way, but easy
you may not believe it, but i did it, i solved the problem of my white screen in a very simple way.
i put my hermes in the fridge for 20 mins at 2C and i keep it on and put it over night.
(no charging, no sync, .... nothing)
this is the way how i solve it.
try it at your home, and tell me what happened to it.
thanks for all.
Hardware or software issue?
Hi,
Did anyone figured if white screen is hardware or software related issue? I wonder if there is anybody that doesn't got any whitescreen since they upgraded to WM6. I observed that the number and the severity of the white screens was different depending of the cooked ROM used (I have Olipro 2.10 SPL, Radio 1.50). Unfortunately I didn't count the white screen number for each version in order to choose the right one
I want to be sure I have tried all software methods before I will send my Hermes to the mobile operator for a replacement (if it is a hardware issue). Thanks in advance for any suggestion!
Hi all.. I had the same prob and it developed into this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303872
So its a HW problem... You can get it back to normal by hitting(yeah not the nicest thing to do with a toy that has high price tag) the phone when its turned off completely -if its hibernating it doesnt work. If you have warranty time left -get it fixed. If not -you can try opening the hermie and doing whats told on 8th page in thread I mentioned. I got mine fixed by changing the front keyboard circuit board..
Hey.. kan anybody help me?. My P3300 goes black several times a day?? i have flashed it back to its original ROM to check if that would help, but i didn´t.
The phone just goes black and i cant turn it on again without soft-resetting it. Sometimes the screen flicker and some stribes are showing across the screen before it turnes black??
I hope you can help me
Best regards Michael
i had the same problem, i send it to repair by t-mobile and they changed the lcd screen problem fixed
Seems to be a common problem, as I have exactly the same with my P3300. Send and email to the HTC customer support to ask if it could be a software issue (no reply yet) - but now that I read this post I guess I can send my device for repair right away...
I don't think the LCD is to blame for this issue. (why would the phone firmware "crash" - and unable to reboot ? )
@MicTh : those updates you've installed ? were they recent Mobile6 (B&B > 4.1, Vanilla 2.0,.. ?) from this board ?
I've got the same problem, T-Mobile replaced my handset twice (new IMEI) - reason "motherboard replaced" ???
I DO believe that USPL unlock is causing this problem now - too many MDA 3c's failing - while HTC 3000 / Orbits seem to run fine.
No.. I run the original WM6 ROM
No.. I run the original WM6 ROM, and I have also switched back to the one it came with, but i does not help
I'm getting this problem too... screen fades to black, and only way to re-start is to soft-reset. I have had two new motherboards in my original, and now HTC have replaced with a new unit, with factory WM6 and problem is the same. I was wondering if it was anything to do with software, as i do have a number of applications installed - but which one is to blame?
After I removed Spb Time, my P3300 works fine (for a week now)
pnyg
do I have sbp time? (is it "standard" or 3rd party s/w?) if I do, how do I remove it?
no, I've not got spb time, so its not that in my case....
I also experienced this problem when I installed Meschle 3.01 ROM. Cant remember if its vanilla or full version as I installed both.
I am now back to Original WM6 WWE from HTC. No problem at the moment.

I've had at least 3 separate P3300s with this problem. I'm sure its a hardware issue, and I have finally persuaded my supplier to refund 75% of my purchase price, so I can buy something different. I am sure HTC must know this is a problem, but the uk repair centre seem unable to fix it, presumably as its a batch problem, and all the boards they have are faulty.
i have exactly the same problem with my Dopod M70 (Artemis300). Maybe it have some problem in the motherboard design which HTC should let us know
My orbit do the same, when it boot win everythink is working fine. Someone did say: When you apply pressure, it fade to black. I think it maybe have something with the housing design or battery.

hello to all,
I've searched many white screen problem threads, but didn't find any similar.
i am sorry if I missed one.
I am asking you for help.
I have spv m3100(hermes 100)
I bought it used and it had instaled htc europe wm6 rom. after few days I decided to flash black x rc.
before i did this, I made super cid with RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe and than also flash hard spl v7. everything was fine until few days ago when butons stop working. and at the end the green led was blinking all the time and green and red phone light was on all the time as well (also if phone was in flight mode).
I decided to flash official rom and I checked my bootloader it was showing ipl 1.04 and hard spl 2.10.
I flashed WWE 3.54.255.3 with radio 1.48.00.10 and everything went just fine at the end was written congratulation....
it costumized and make one or two soft reset and than I start to instal my favorite programs (few spb, smartmovie, dictionary...).
I do not remember why but after I set regional settings I did not soft reset with stylus but I put out battery when phone was stil on.
after that screen is white all the time. I made many soft resets, hard resets, try to enter bootloader but screen is all the time white.
when i turn it on and it is white I connect it to computer and it connects normal and i can also explore my files, but screen is all the time white.
I left it more than 20min without battery and try again but is stil the same.
after that I keep battery out of phone and leave it sop over the night. in the morning was stil the same.
i do not know what to do.
please help.
thank you and best regards

since you mention a problem with the buttons, it *could* be hardware related. There is a thread up here where those problems (connections usually) are explained.
would you be so kind and tell me which thread you meant.
it seemed nothing wrong is with my phone only colors are missing (everything is white). i think also touchscreen is working. if I turn it off with power button (holding for few seconds), it beeps and you get message if you realy want to turn it off. because I know exactly where yes button is, the phone goes off.
I apreciate every help I can get.
thanks
I had a white screen issue .. do this in this specific order
1) make sure you have olipro latest version (use the search)
if problem persists
2) Use an WM5 rom and see if the white screen is happening
if problem perisists
3) Replace the battery (cheapest option)
if problem perisists
4) Its a hardware fault and you will have to send it off to get fixed or replace the unit .. sorry
alive again
I solved the problem.

Hi my P3300 ( artemis) has suddenly startet to freze and or turn it self off, only thing that helps is to take out and replace the battery, i have read all topics i could find with simmilar problems, and i was hopping it was my battery that was going old so i bought a new one, but it didnt help.
i have tried diffrent roms wont help,
i tried to "push" the battery closer to the conectors, no help and it's seems like its hard or software problem but not battery.
some times when i turn the device back on with out replacing battery it works but sometimes when i do like that it gets to HTC page showing rom info etc. then it fades out and i can see blackscreen but it "glows" and the phone is dead nothing works.
i chaged the screen a couple of months ago but the fault dosent seems to have with the screen to do.
It seems that it is a hardware issue. They replaced motherboard for me, it is working now.
hmmm i have no warenty left. and my phone does look used so i guess im screwd?
sorry for that..
an issue happened with me witha nokia mobile before and when i sent it to be fixed they told me there was a problem in the radio chip or something like that..
so try to install a different radio ROM ... that's all i can think of.
and sorry for your loss
i will try that, but the problem ocured before i change radio last time....
hmmm
I changed back to original HTC wm 6 (swedish) yesterday and the phone worked all day, and i thought i have solved my problem, but whilst driving my car for about 15 min and the phone was in placed in the a space in the middle of the dashboard under the stereo i found out when i toke it back up to call that it was dead......so i was wondering could it have something to do with heat or lost GSM coverage (thinking i have multiple faults on my artemis)
htc arte100 freezes on startup
can any one give solution for my arte100 it freezes on startup
how can i restore or put it on bootloader mode in order to upgrade it
thanks in advance
for the boot loader see the WIKI
if your device is unlock flash it with any rim you want.. if not get the original ROM for your mobile and then flash it..
for flashing try using RUU or the SD card flashing..
all can be found on the WIKI
totally dead
now i cant start it again its dead as it can be?! i tried to have it with out battery over night, with battery and usb cable over nigt, old and new battery, usb from pc or from orginal AC adapter or waths it called.

something i forgott to try?! or is this expencive toy gonna be a toy for my 8 month old kid?
Artemis goes Dead
I'm having the same problem, and have worked the same solutions. I noticed this started when I also had my phone underneath the radio in my car.
Replace radio rom
Upgraded rom to 6.1
New Battery
Unlocked Phone
Last attempt was uploading active sync 4.5 since loading version 6.1
I've got no solution yet, just posting to let you know we are in the same situation.
I have read about similar problems in different forums, and the conclusion is that it's a hardware issue. When I sent it in for support, they replaced the motherboard. I guess, there is something smaller wrong but they just replace it all.
No way.
Replaced battery, took out SIM and SD, changed ROM (finally it was long enough at life), but still:
Display freezes, turns white - game over.
I give up.
Until a few days ago I was very happy with HTC and my Artemis.
Artemis 110 (T-Mobile Compact iii) Back from the Dead
Artemis 110 (T-Mobile Compact iii) Back from the Dead, Flash via Active Sync then via SD Artemis
Since the XDA site is so valuable, I’m trying to consolidate my efforts to make a legitimate contribution to the site. Hopefully this post can also be of help to others.
These are just notes on what I’ve been through so far with my Mobile Compact iii. Hopefully, someone more advanced than I, will read through and possibly troubleshoot the errors I may have overlooked.
Upon returning from Germany, I needed to re-flash my ROM with an English version. Version of choice was the Blue & Black cube with WM6, thanks to the developer(s).
BLACK & BLUE v5.0 ROM WM6.1 CE OS 19716 ( Build 19716.1.1.0 )
First I used the USPL to temp unlock the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
I then loaded the Operating Version, and received many stalls and stops via the White Screen of Death. (I have some theories on the white screen of death, but do not have the knowledge to confirm) I suspect utilities are running in the background and are being loaded. Impatience at this point could quite possibly be my nemesis
Second, I loaded the unlock to permanently unlock the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400445
I re-flashed my ROM again the B&B cube. Still the phone seemed unstable, was shutting down and getting the white screen of death. I hard booted the phone many times, soft booted, battery out, and through no tangible reason of thought, the phone just did what it wanted to. Start, not start, and hung up at various points in the boot process, died in the middle of Wal-Mart.
I tried the over-clock on WM6, using WM5 over-clocking. Talk about unstable. I couldn’t find and over-clock for WM6, but now know it is an option in the Blue and Black Rom. Anyway my phone went out completely. To the point of not being able to get past the initial flash screen where the OS and IS version displayed and that was it. Left the phone overnight, nothing.
In a last attempt, I used the SD mini flash option found in WIKI.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
I used my printer SD card reader and the adapter supplied with the SD mini card. Home PC recognized the storage device, right click and format, then did the rename file (NBH file to ARTEIMG.nbh) as found on the WIKI SD Flash page. I initially tried without the format, and only got to the Red Green Blue (RGB) screen. Since I received no indication of status, I started over, formatted the mini SD, extracted the file to the SD, renamed, to ARTEIMG.nbh and I also extracted the B&B Cube WM6 Rom to the SD mini, for I found a couple of post indicating the ROM also needed to be on the SD. I followed the instructions, did the Boot-loader. (Power Button, Voice Button, and Rest with Stylus, release stylus, continue holding Power and Voice until upload prompt on the phone). I received the Update SD image, and followed the instructions. Here I got the prompts indicating status of uploads. OS 1 started to load, OS 2 loaded, phone when to RGB screen. I left the phone alone for 30 minutes at the RBG screen.
After 30 minutes, I rebooted the phone, and the phone went through setup and auto-detected my current carrier SIM card. Has been working for the past hour and 20 minutes.
Since the phone is running at the moment, I will wait and see. Next step is to load the original WM5 T-mobile version via active sync. If downloaded from the t-mobile site, the ROM update isn’t broken down enough to rename the NNBH file..
I’m also waiting to load a new radio version, for I’ve read that may be the cause of some of my problems.
Another theory I have is that T-mobile sent out kill phone code to stop my phone.
Any feedback from the Pros is very appreciated.
I have the same problem: Link to other thread
Apparently there are many devices with the same (more or less) problem.
I hope someone is able to tell what is malfunctioning....
My XDA Orbit went crazy today, first I couldn't start him at all, he wasn't react on "power button". After few attemts he finally started. I connected him to PC but he turned off after couple minutes. From this moment I can't start windows, it stops at starting screen (with IPL, SPL, GSM, OS). After a while screen starting to quakes (like a low frequency on CRT). I tried hard reset, it won't help and run it in bootloader mode but Orbit just reset.
Additonal info:
IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
ROM: Original WM6 from O2
Can anyone help me?
Have you tried a different barttery?
No, I didn't. I don't know anybody with artemis to borow another battery.
EDIT: I checked battery voltage, it's about 3,85V and now i noticed something, on battery sticker is printed it is for ARTE160 3.7VDC-1200mAh but on the phone it's printed ARTE200 5VDV-1A. Is that can cause the problem?
Finally I forced it to run in bootloader mode and flashed with the same O2 WM6 ROM. He started and I was abble to flash USPL and other ROM. It's better but still sometimes phone just poweroff with no reason

Hi
Had a similar problem!!! Try reflashing the rom....It worked for me..I used the o2 stock rom found on the the artemis wiki in the ftp section.... Can also highly recommend the Touch rom found in the windows mobile 6 section of the artemis section here..

I bought a new battery but phone still turning off and freezes. Now I can't even turn it on, sometimes it starts but screen slowly fades away and after few seconds its only black screen with black light. It's propably a hardware problem but what?
EDIT: I started it, working fine when it's connected with pc but when I disconnect it freezes after couple of minutes.
flisak
open the device and check the screen is connected propperly, piss easy, just be very carefull.
if this does not work buy a new LCD.
Hi, I have the same problem with my Artemis, did anyone find a solution? Can be a problem with the LCD?
And plus one here. The device always turn off, and is difficult to turn on again. Rplaced battery and is the same.....
I've got an XDA Orbit that periodically hangs (full black screen and occasionally this seems to drain the battery very quickly). I've taken it apart and reseated the connectors and these all look ok.
Seems to happen when you're taking it out of a pocket to answer a call etc. Sometime it just requires a soft-reset but occasionally it just doesn't respond. In these instances I have found that twisting it slightly across the diagonal (top left to bottom right bending back slightly) and then resetting the device seems to bring it back to life and it's ok for a few hour/days again. If I leave it alone, i.e. not in my jeans pocket - it's fine, so think it's hardware related but not sure which bit is faulty - screen, touch-screen, mainboard etc.
If I bend it the same as above when it's working the screen goes screwy and causes it to crash so think it's definitely this is what's causing the device to crash. However, the clock seems to keep going (I'm assuming so as in most incidents it doesn't seem to lose the correct time - although I might just be seeing the problem the instant after it has crashed) so don't know whether the mainboard is still ok.
Just thought it might help some if you try the slight twisting described above to see if that helps with these to get them working and if anyone has any ideas how I can work out which bit of mine is faulty I'd be grateful.
when I try to flash the ROM 6.5 for my HP3300 after 4% flashing it restrats again. Pls help me out. I think this problem might be with my Ext_ROM. How to unlok EXT_ ROM

Hi
Had a similar problem!!! Try reflashing the rom....It worked for me..I used the o2 stock rom found on the the artemis wiki in the ftp section.... Can also highly recommend the Touch rom found in the windows mobile 6 section of the artemis section here..

Well it seems that I'm having similar issues with my Orbit.
I've been having problems with it for a few weeks and they seem to be getting much worse now.
Occasionally it would just lock up and freeze, but after frantic tapping it will unfreeze itself and continue working fine. But over the past few days it's been locking up regulary. Removing the battery was the only way to get it going again.
But now it just won't do anytihing. As soon as I start it up I either get a white screen (it phases in during the splash screen), or it'll start up, freezes after a few seconds, then eventually switches itself off. Hard resetting it makes no difference at all. Changing the battery didn't work either. I always keep it on charge overnight, could that be the problem? Maybe I'm just overcharging the battery (if that's even possible).
Note: As I've typed this, I've switched it on again only to find the battery's flat, even though it's been off for most of the day (I gave up trying to start it up). The battery usually lasts for the whole day - maybe even 2 days if I don't use it much. I had it on charge overnight as I said.
I'll try another battery to see if that works. If not then what can I do?
