Same problem....
I'm experiencing the same problem on my herm100. It has been like this for a few weeks now. I'm running the latest T-mobile test rom. I have problems with the buttons and also the screen both going white sometimes and shifted down a little. So I also see some little part of the softkeys at the top of the screen.
Anyone know what is causing this, and how to get it solved???

[Q] Mytouch 3g Slide Screen Issues ? (WARNING : EXTREMELY LARGE PHOTOS)

So recently my mytouch has been getting worse and worse. I'm not exactly sure if it's me or if it's the stupid phone because it's been degrading over time for some strange reason. First of all, the camera is **** for some reason, this is my second replacement phone from T-Mobile and it's extremely blurry for some reason(apparently it's a common problem but not common enough apparently for the tmobile representatives I've met with have seen before). Secondly, it's been becoming unresponsive at times although i kill my apps after i'm done with them(I probably only have internet, and facebook running most of the time). Third, ever since I've factory reset it, it's become very glitchy for some reason. One of the problems is that I would close the physical keyboard but after sending a text and all of a sudden the screen goes black and the only thing to fix it is to hit the power button and press it again to get it off of sleep. Another problem is after i send a text i close the keyboard and the screen repeats but the location of buttons is still where they're suppose to be on the screen.

As you can see the buttons are on as the phone is on but the screen is black and unresponsive, i realize i can still go to apps while like that somehow but to fix it i just hit the power button which shouldn't be happening though

As said before unless you didn't read this happens after i send a message and close the physical keyboard...
And thank you for any suggestions you guys have, help is appreciated, also for taking the time to read the thread

Jezussss!!!!
Dude.. you dont need pictures, and if you post them.. resize them first.
Make the thread want to be readable, like-able. Ask yourself, would you read this thread?? and with yellow highlights that no one can even see????????
You also need to post if you're phone is stock, what rom you are on, what version..

Sorry,thought they yellow would highlight it but it actually made it worse . I think the red is better with the whiteish background....
This is a stock version, I updated the phone to 2.2.2 but i factory reset it and now it says i have 2.2.1 even though i have 2.2.2 features like Wifi Hotspot,Wifi Calling, and images for contacts on messages...

im not sure, i havent had stock phone in a lonnnggg time..
Hopefully someone else can help you out

This is a hardware problem (the repeating screen) that seems to be happening to many people. (it happened to me before which is why i replaced my previous slide). After my 2yr contract is done, im gonna stop getting phones with keyboards because this also happened to my previous htc slider phones

So it's actually because of the sliding part of the phone ?
I'm not surprised, this phone was pretty cheaply made imo, literally a piece of crap :\
I guess I'm getting the new iphone once it comes out and my 2yr contract is done

Oh I see, well I tried to get it replaced but HTC was a bit suspicious when they wanted my credit card before anything ......

I have the same issue with my phone
As I was looking at your photos I realized I have the same issue going on with my phone. Does anyone have suggestions on ways to fix it? Personally, I do not believe it is a hardware issue. I do believe it is more of a software issue. That update that HTC offered is definitely screwed up! Ever sine I updated my phone, all of these problems started. This problem did not occur beforehand! My phone was working fine - before this "software update."

Same Problem
I had the same exact problem with the Repeating Screen (and completely agreed about the camera lol). Yesterday I tried demonstrating to my friend the problem, and permanently blacked out my screen. Now, the phone works in the sense that it receives calls, the home keys light up, and the camera still takes pictures. However, with no screen to select any options or perform any functions, the phone has been rendered completely useless. I, too, would like to figure out what the problem is and if there is any possible fix.
Sorry I couldn't be of much help. Just know you're not the only one lol

My girlfriend had the repeating screen issue back in May/June of this year. It was more than likely a software issue, because it became incrementally worse as the phone opened and closed until it came to a point where absolutely nothing could be done when the phone was moved horizontally.
I had T-mobile replace the phone at the time. Unfortuntely an idiot I work with who was supposed to mail it back didn't, I got stuck with an extra $360 on the bill.
Worked out paying for the phone with them yesterday morning, this morning my girlfriend messages me to let me know the screen is acting up again.

Potential Fix?

I would recommend replacing your flex ribbon. It worked for me, and from other threads I've read, I believe it's the cause of these issues. It's a pretty easy fix ( coming from me, who's far better at breaking electronics than fixing them, lol ).
Here's the flex ribbon that I bought off of Ebay ( it's the cheapest I found and it comes with the tools too ):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170647168235?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
And here's a good video on disassembling your Espresso:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jgFHuVWlig
P.S.: I'd recommend being more delicate than he was with the volume ribbon though, as mine seemed very frail. Also, this video is for replacing the digitizer, so you only need to follow it to get to the flex ribbon.
A month ago, I had issues very similar to the ones you posted. Sliding my keyboard out ( in any way but gently ) would occasionally split the screen or freeze the phone. Even without using my keyboard, the phone would occasionally freeze while "settling" after the boot animation, and sometimes even during the boot animation. Slowly, those "occasionally"s become more and more frequent, until my screen just went black one day. The phone still seemed to work ( lit up when turned on, made sounds, etc. ), just the screen seemed dead. Figured that I was having a combination of software issues ( the random freezes ), and hardware issues ( split & black screen ), but replacing my flex ribbon suprisingly fixed everything.

This is what worked on my MyTouch 3G Slide
i just keep sliding the phone. and turn off the screen then turn it back on. but not turning off the phone.

Screen with dead pixels? Xperia S

Hi Everyone,
I sometimes have this issue, I don´t know if it´s a hardware or software problem, as you can see in the picture (on top to the left) seems like pixels die for a short period of time.
It happened before with ICS, but now with JB it happens more often. It only goes with a reboot or sometimes it just goes away.
Please, let me know if there´s anything I can do about it.
Regards.
FA

If these were dead pixels they wouldn't show on a screenshot.
Can't help you any further but it's definitely not your screen.

Looks like one of those Small Apps automagically launching, freezing and staying on top. Do you have any unusual apps installed?

It's weird, sometimes happens with games, with a phone call, camera, etc... I haven't identified any particular app that causes this.
I have tried uninstalling some apps that show notifications on that area but it doesn't work.

You can be sure those aren't bad pixels though.
If it's happening often and you can't get rid of it, just create a backup and re-flash the phone

I just realized that it's a messy app: SwypePad
As soon as I stopped it, this problem is gone.
Thanks for your comments.

[Q] Touch sensitivity issue cause?

I've been reading through the previous threads and I'm still confused if the issue is hardware or software related. I have the AUO panel and have broken swipes, and times where I can't scroll properly. This has been going on a couple months now and it's getting on my last nerve since it's frequently happening when I need my phone to work properly. All this time I assumed it was software but a couple threads mentioned it was hardware. Trouble is, some people with the JDI screen also have issues so I don't understand. My question is, has anyone ruled out software by flashing an AOSP rom? I'd rather not send this to Sony if at all possible since they don't cross ship and I'd be without a phone.

I have rarely an issue with the touch screen, when swipe up or down, it doesn't swipe it acts like I've just touched (clicked) once the display. I think it is a software issue, because in my case, if I turn off the display wait for 2-3 seconds and turn it on, it works with no problems.
Can you point me please to other threads that have this issue in discuss?
Thank you!

Have you removed the asf from the screen and placed an actual screen protector on it? I found that this really helped with the weird screen issues.

I have a screen protector over the ASF. But that has nothing to do with my issue, because, like I said, when I turn the display off, wait 3 seconds, and on again everything is working normally.

Yeah, I reboot usually and the issue temporarily goes away. Then it will come back a day or two later. I'm afraid to remove the ASF because I've read some issues with goes touches even with a screen protector. I just want the issue to be fixed... I was thinking of flashing a AOSP rom but wanted to see if anyone with that ROM had any trouble or not. Maybe the L update in January will fix things.
Here are the resources I've read on this issue:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770293

I have rarely that issue, like I said I just turn off the screen, and after 2-3 seconds turn it on and it's gone. I'm sure this is a software related issue.

If it helps at all, I never had the issue in the two weeks I tried an aosp rom. However the camera and battery life were a bit lacking so I'm back on a stock rom.

I haven't have the issue too in the past weeks, I've wiping cache and dalvik cache pretty often , because I've installed some system apps. Anyway I will really want to know the cause of this
L.E. I'm still on stock firmware.
L.E. 2 : The Glove mode function, in the Settings-Display menu has an application or something? Has a file redirected to it? Is there in the phone's system a file than can be edited or deleted or something for the glove mode function? Maybe we will find answers there.
I'm not sure that I've made myself understood with the question.

Cannot pull down notification bar on any ROM (LG G3 d855)

Hello xda-developers,
as I searched for a long time and didn't find anything useful, i decided to post here on xda for the first time.
My problem is the same as mentioned in this post or in the youtube video:
Post
[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SLA0WctmuU
[/YOUTUBE]
It is not possible to pull the notification bar down in horizontal mode. In landscape mode, there is no problem. The screen is not reacting in this area, even in ladscape mode -> the navbar is not working in landscape mode.
This problem started a few days ago on Resurrection Remix (Marshmallow 6). After it did start, i flashed back to Stock G3 Rom and it still consisted.
Then the screen worked for a few hours again, thus it thought "Fine, it's working, you can flash back". I flashed to CM13 and it worked fine.
After a half day, it didn't work again. So, thats the normal case: It is working for a few hours and then it is not, for 4 days now.
I don't know what this could be and I wanted to ask you guys, if you have any idea, what to do...
So, I would be very happy, if you could answer my following questions:
1. Is it possible, that it is something with the software? I though, that every time I flash a new ROM the whole software is new and bugs are "away"... If this is true, than my problem can't be a software problem. Especially that I've flashed back to Stock, which does install everything new...
2. If it is not software, could it be hardware? But that's not really logical because it works sometimes. Only thing is a loose connection. But can there be a loose connection, which makes the screen not working only on this smart area of the screen?
3. As I flashed Stock ROM, there was the area thicker, because the notification bar was thicker. This absolutely makes no sense, does it? It seems, that the system says "Oh, thats the area which the notification bar covers, let's deactivate it"
4. Do you have any other ideas what to do?
I'm afraid of sending it in because I think, that it will work, when LG is testing the phone.
Excuse my english, i know that it is not the best:angel:
I hope, you can help me because this is a very ****ty problem...
Thank you in advance and lets discuss about it
Arkas96

Same here
**BUMP**
I can sometimes get it down from the upper left, but not always. For me it sometimes shows a persistent touch and the top center of the bar until I lock and unlock it again. Its definitely a software issue. Wish somebody would look into this!

Awkward Problem
Hello,
Nice to have an answer even in it is not a good one
I "fixed" the Problem by sending it to LG service. THREE TIMES. It really took 3 times that they found the Problem. Changing the touch panel solved it for me.
Hope everybody with this Problem finds a solution. Good luck
