screen flickering - Desire General

hi,
Yesterday I updated my HTC Desire to 1.21 ....
And today I noticed that when i have the screen with more white than any other color (like the notification screen for example) the screen flickers, and it does this with little horizontal lines...
I also realized 2 things:
1. it flickers when the automatic brightness is on and I am inside (so the brightness was set to under 25%)
2. It flickers with battery fully charged once the voltage got under 4.08v, it stopped..
Has anyone seen this on the desire after the update or before? Is this normal? Is my phone faulty?
Thank you

I had this once, several weeks ago. It became less off a problem when I pressed hard on the right side of the display. I figured it was a flaky connection between screen and main board.
Right now I don't have it, it went away by itself. The irregularity of it might be related to falling (mine fell once), heat or humidity.

i had it when i flashed the kernel for USB HOST but after i flashed the MCK1.1 it was everything ok

[Q] Screen problem after charging

Hi today as usual i was playing with my phone ,battery under 15% appeared.
It was on 12% and i recharge it
After about 2 hour i came back to unplug the charger. I saw the phone is off and it did not turn on !
I take out the battery and Turn it on
But when i turned it on the screen did not showing the colors correctly it was like when you change the color depth in windows from 32bit to 256colors
And a big problem with black colors
Actually the black colors were shown in red And the at&t boot logo signs was remained in screen.
I dont know what happened and the charge level was in 60%
After about 10min the screen became better from top sides but i could feel the att logo in screen
And after 20min it was clear and every thing was ok .
It was frightening and i thought that it damaged.
did anyone had the same problem before?
What happened to this phone !?
I did restart it many time and recharge it. My nitro seems to work fine.
Is the screen damaged ?

I'm having the same issue and having a really hard time finding any info on it. After booting it looks "ok".. but during boot it looks as this person described it: windows in 256 colour mode.. Very strange. My phone drained down to 0% today during work, and I just tried plugging it in and turning it on.
Hopefully this goes away. Running CM10.1 RC5 with Wind 2.3 and I have flashed the new adreno drivers and changed max layers to 2 in build.prop to make camera buttons display properly.
i switched back to modded ics stock after cm10.1 had 3-4 nightlies that didn't even boot and all kinds of bugs in the last 3 weeks, i'm waiting for a stable release to come out before i switch back, i recommend switching back to stock while they deal with recent issues, that's just my opinion tho. u guys could try backing up ur cm10.1 and flashing a stock rom to see if the problem is fixed, even if u decide to switch back to cm after, it's worth a shot.
if flashing a cwm flashable stock modded rom fixes the issue you might want to consider doing a full wipe and going back to rc2 or nightly 19th-22nd of may before the issues started

Literally the exact same thing happened to me just now. Lower corner screen darkened, and after reset I'm burning through the battery at a record pace with no way to lower brightness. Wish someone knew how to fix this

[Q] Phone stuck in screensaver mode

Hi!
I brought my Xperia Play phone USED two years ago and I've never had any problems with it.
However, recently, the phone has started to freeze itself in "screensaver" mode (Where the screen goes black after 15 seconds and locks the phone), but the screen won't light up no matter which button I press. I've had to restart the phone every time this happens.
It's been behaving strange at start up as well, as it sometimes take 20 minutes just for it to turn on, while on other occasions, it won't turn on at all!
Is this problem caused by the battery, or is it the hardware?
Is it with stock firmware?

Yes.
I've never modded it or installed custom firmware/apps.
Have you tried factory resetting it?

Yes, but it didn't fix it. The problem still occurs.
tldr: Black screen, no display, everything works "under" (I can answer the phone etc). Not a flex cable problem because occurs randomly, regardless of the slider being open or closed. The problem also occurs during boot up, so rather not a software problem.
I think I have something similiar. Everything was fine until a few days ago the screen didn't want to unlock..or at least I thought it was that.
Basically the phone sometimes works OK but sometimes if I turn off (lock) the screen, it won't go back. To be precise, the phone works and if someone calls me I can pick it up moving the finger where the slider should be, it's just the display doesn't turn on. Same goes for booting, bootloader logo etc, so IMO it's not a software problem.
Strange thing is that it just randomly pops back, sometimes when I move the gamepad slider, sometimes when I put in a jack cable or if I hard reset the phone (remove battery). I've had problems with the flex cable in the past and this time I know that it's not it (no difference if I open/close the slider).
My guess would be some power supply or LCD driver IC issues, because the screen stops working almost everytime if I put the phone into the dock. Moreover, if the screen doesn't work, the orange charging LED is not working (green and blue are OK). The moment the screen starts working, the orange charging LED starts working too.
it's very strange but I'm used to electronics doing strange stuff. Just wondering if I should give a try disassembling the phone and trying to fix it or just buy a new one or something?
I might add that I have bought a new battery ~3 months ago, but it's been working fine to this point. I have tried if the same problem occurs with the old/original battery and it's the same.
well, any ideas?
edit: This video shows something very similiar (except the backlight): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4p0-kv1cxA
Same problem. And I guess this guy has it too.

Phone working but screen black

Hello everyone,
I have since the first time an LG G3 (D855) that I root and that works very well.
Recently I bought a new one from a friend for my girlfriend.
He never root it, he reset it and sent it to me by mail.
At the reception, I turn on the phone and there, I have the LED lights, sound start but nothing on the screen.
It reacts when I put the finger on the screen so the touch sensor works.
I try a restart and battery removal but nothing better.
The screen has no shock but I told myself that perhaps during the trip he took a bad cut.
I hope it's just a miswired table, so I dismounted to check, but still nothing.
ThenI try something, I disconnect my phone too and I swapped motherboards.
And then the screen with my card in it work.
While my screen with the motherboards of the phone I just bought stay blank.
So the screen is not broken, perhaps it was a install problem.
So I use LG Flash Tool to reinstall the original rom (following a tutorial )
Everything goes well and ends without worries.
But that didnt change anything, the screen is still black.
Do you have an idea ?
Thank you in advance for your assistance and sorry for my bad english
I just realized that if I strongly illuminates the screen I can see that it works.
It' like brightness was at zero.
It's not a screen problem because when I plug it to the other motherboard brightness is ok.
Someone had this issue?
Same problem here
So I'm having the same problem at the moment, but this is the 2nd time that this has happened to me. Last time. I fixed it by changing charger. It worked for like 2-3 month and then I switched again and the problem came back. I suggest you try a few charges. It took around a week before it got fixed.
Hope it'll work for you.
BTW it was a Nokia charger

Exactly the same problem on my LG G2.
It often go to black screen, but it's not totally OFF. Touch work, and the screen the same, i noticed using a torch that the brightness when to something like zero, but if i increase the level, it stay dark. Only press power button sometimes come back, but few second later... Dark screen again.
It happens everywhere during boot, in home, in lockscreen, in TWRP.
I tried:
- Change rom
- Flash stock firmware...
- Totally switched off for 2 months
- Detach and reattach the screen
- Test proximity sensor in hidden menu
Nothing worked.
If anyone has an idea...

Screen gets pixelated and phone crashes. What might be wrong?

I have a OP3 for 2 years. It is running stock OxygenOS 5.0.6 with f2fs partitions. For the last year, the screen gets pixelated and the phone hangs and switches off. It can be restarted almost immediately. This usually happens randomly and is accompanied by a loud beep sound when it happens while watching videos.
I have noticed that the top right edge of the screen is popping slightly (barely noticeable like 2mm from its normal position) out from the frame.
I have tried resetting the phone several times to no avail.
This crash is happening several times a day now instead of once a week like earlier.
Is there something wrong with the display or logic board or some loose connector? Wanted to know if anybody has a fix for this.

That happened to me and it was a faulty mother board. It took me to send it to repair twice as their standard test showed everything was ok and they never tested it with use only connected to program and ran tests.
I hand the same color pixels after the last update 5.0.6, few times but differnet scenario - the phone was entering deep sleep and shuting down (usualy when charging), I got this pixels few times on black screen - when trying to "wake it up".
What solved it for me - I disabled "advanced battery optimisation" from the battery menue -since then it is stable.
Not sure it will help you - but you can try it.
Good luck!
