Display problem in 8525

Hi guys,
My phone's display seems to be sliding downwards.. The bottom most part of the screen is slowly showing up on the top.. Seems like its sliding down and going round to the top .. Any ideas why is this so.. is it something to be worried about... or can it be easily fixed..
Cheers..

i was just making sure it was not the rom he had installed, sorry if you thought i was talking about redoing the rom and that would fix it but their is no way a rom could fix that he prolly dropped his phone 1 to many times

Yeah, i have dropped it a number of times.. but never it happened like this. this has been happening since a week now.. I have WM6 Premuim V2 by Dutty.. Its been on my phone since almost a year now.. Recently I had installed WM6.1 S64 Lite.. But that was very unstable and slowed the phone down.. So now I am back on WM6 Premuim V2 by Dutty..
Hope this helps..

You should DL the htc maintenance manual and try reconnecting the lcd cables. I had whitescreen issues and bottom of screen jumping t top so I bit the bullet and opened hermes up. was considerably easier than expected ( though do yourself a fovour and get the torque set (torque 6) ) and had it pulled apart then put back together in less than an hour. there is a lot of unneeded dissassembly in the maintenance manual (just take apart whats needed) but read thoroughly and do step by step and you should have no problem. Hope this helps you out...cheers....

hehehe that will work for sure.

Yep.. it was the issue with LCD.. also my screen would go fully white and nothing would happen after that.. That happens everytime I slide it.. It is found that the slide strip is the issue.. so that has to be replaced for it to solve..

Start Menu problem- opens when tapping screen anywhere

Hi,
Every second or third time I tap my screen wherever it opens the start menu instead of touching the area I want.
Is this a config problem, a WM61 build problem, or maybe a problem linked to my HardSPL, or is it a harware problem?
I had this problem with different ROMS, and different screens.
Thanks for your help !!

Search for TopBar 0.10 it's a fix for big finger on today screen that made pop up the start menu, you can edit it in registry. Go there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370478

@the-uki
I have the same problem on my HTC P3600.
It seems it's because you have dust under the edges of the mobile screen.
Anybody can confirm it ?

I dont believe that it is the dust under the edges of the mobile screen.
Go here: http://www.xiaprojects.com/?project=TopBar
Description from website:
This bug will popup your starmenu when:
you are using "huge" thumb while tapping the display (xt9 sms writing for example)
cpu is overheating (because it's near the diplay area)
Try installing this as this does fix the problem!

I report the same here. Also HTC3600. I just doubt its problem with dust. I guess its the touchscreen or some sort of WM setts.
It happens when I hit larger area. Eg with whole finger. Not just nail, which is OK.
It cant happen with multitouch if Im right.
Soo.. if there is some solution, help someone Its annoying "feature".
edit: Well, now I see sphinxy's answer. Thx, man

I believe your screen got problem... (hardware) or too much dust...

this is a well-known problem and TopBar is the solution...I'm current using it

Yes, I can confirm that topbar works. Here it is http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Tweaks/TopBar-P3600-Screen-Bug-Fix-60642.shtml

everyone, installed Topbar but still have the same problem.
So it must be a hardware problem, and since it happened with several screens, it must be on the motherboard, not the screen itself?
Or maybe it's because of my hardspl (very early version before WM61 came out)?
thanks for your help

I had a similar issue. After reading around I followed someone's advice. I don't know if this will help you but it worked for me:
1. Remove any screen protector you may have on.
2. Place a credit card under the edges of the screen frame and press it upwards slightly. Work your way around all the edges of the screen frame, lifting it up gently to release pressure.
3. Not only can a lot of dust build up under the frame, it can also sometimes bend down so that it actually makes contact with the screen when you press an area elsewhere on the screen.
After 10 minutes or so of bending, the screen suddenly started working again, but it was all out of sync. So, I reset the screen configuration with taps (like you do after a flash). Once I did that it was perfect again and has never troubled me since.
This may not be the problem in your case, but may be worth a try.

Silence....
I'm wondering if you sorted it, in case anyone else has the same issue...?
Mattster.

It seems that the Topbar made it's work for me...We'll see....!

Great. Very pleased for you!

topbar works for me

All,
topbar did not work for me, and I ended up buying a new screen on ebay;
installed new screen, and, problem gone!
Not all screens on ebay are good quality, careful!

[Q] Touch problem....

I m facing an awkward problem with my WFS's touch.... It works pretty fine with everything for sometime but after some irregular time, it starts acting erratically and I simply loose the focus on the screen...... the touch buttons automatically start acting until I lock the phone using power button.... As soon as I do so, it works like a charm again after sometime....
Notes:-
1. It doesn't happen in any particular ROM.
2. It doesn't happen in any particular apps.
3. It doesn't happen in any particular time interval, it just happens, sometimes after 10 seconds only, and sometimes not even for half an hour continuously.... (I was watching a movie on phone on mxplayer.... It worked pretty fine for about 45 minutes, and all of sudden, the touch closed the movie....... I turnt the screen off and then again came back, then it happened again within 10 to 20 seconds continuously for about 10 times so I got pissed off and kept the mobile aside.......)
4. I have tried almost everything out there related to touch fixes for WFS, like unlock freeze problem solutions etc, but neither of them happens to work in my case.....
5. I just have a hunch that its moisture problem.... I guessed, that when I use my phone's screen continuously, it works like a charm like earlier, but when the screen gets heated up ,it starts reacting erratically......
If anyone has any solution of at least knows the accurate problem, I wold b really thankful to them...........
I have tried using different ROMs, Kernels etc...........

I'm having same problem...
Some guys from forum suggested that it may be caused by using non-HTC charger or damaged charger...But my problem has not resolved after changing charger...
Do you have any other suggestion?

Sorry everyone, my apologies for breaking the rules.....
Solution
I went to HTC customer service center and they just saw the problem and said they'd require to update the touchscreen firmware.... I asked them to do it, so they asked me for some time to get it from other service center.... They said it'd flash everything, but as of now I'm not sure whether they're right or wrong, but I'm waiting for them to get the card....
Apologies again to everyone for opening a wrong topic.... I request the mods to remove this thread....

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Sleep of Death

Problem: Cannot turn on the screen by pressing the power button sometimes. The screen is black or very dim, I cannot tell. One can see nothing on the screen, and it doesn’t accept any touch input, either. The phone still rings if there’s an incoming call. If this happens, the following several presses (about 10 - 20) on the power button will probably lead to a reboot. The “screen auto-rotate” and the proximity sensor may fail after the reboot, but will recover after a manual reboot.
Frequency: Fewer with higher Rom version. About once per day for 4.3.
Other description:
 The problem frequently happens when I just take the phone outside my house/office, and seldom happens when the phone just stays somewhere.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the remaining battery capacity or the uptime, but it never happens when charging.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the Apps installed.
 The problem seldom happens in the first 3-4 days after flashing a Rom, but happens more and more frequently as time goes by. My guess is some cache is stuffed by some trash, which causes the problem. The phone may be fine as long as the trash can be cleaned up on a regular basis.
 I manually reboot my phone at most every two days.
Solutions tried, but don’t work
 Flashing official ROMs 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3 following the procedure “adb reboot bootloader; fastboot oem unlock; flash-all; fastboot oem lock”, without google wallet, not rooted.
 Turning off the auto-brightness control, as suggested by some post on the Internet.

Does it look like it goes to standby normally or does the screen show gibberish and then turns off?

Thank you very much.
I think it's standing-by normally even through the screen is black (or very dim, I cannot tell), since it rings if there's an incoming call. I can see nothing from the screen, and I don't think the screen accepts any touch input, either.
Does this answer your question? Thank you.

Was just asking if you had gibberish yes or no. In that case i've got a different issue than you (Suspecting f*cked GPU).
Have you tried a different ROM/Kernel combination maybe it's related to that.

No, I just tried the official ROMs. Any suggestion?

Perhaps it's just busy in the background and running low on RAM. Give LagFix a try. Sorry can't link atm as I am on mobile...

LagFix does NOT help in my case. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I've also had this blank screen with calls still ring issue for as long as I can remember, nearly 2.5 yrs.
I've always suspected it's my ROM and so I'd try out another ROM'S, BUT no other ROM works like how I'd like, so I always come back to my ROM.
It doesn't happen every single day, but it does happen very often.
I've tried using apps that auto reboot daily, but eventually this blank screen issue will return.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find any solution, so I just put up with it, it's like the 1 only flaw with my ROM.
&
Not to be at all rude, but I'm really glad op has had this issue from testing other versions of Android, cause then at least I know I don't need to give up my great tablet mode ROM.
LOL

I think I've finally found a work around for this screen of death.
Using Exposed, download/install this module/extension:
Disable Proximity
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mrchandler.disableprox
It does exactly what it's name is and ever since then I've not once had to remove my GN battery to work again because the screen went completely dead.

NVM
Screen still goes dead.
Anyone find an actual fix to this?

isajoo,
I had pretty much the same problems with my Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod 11 M12.
It got better by doing the following :
Blowing dry air in the earpiece… though the proximity sensor is clearly beside it. Can't do any harm though, I guess.
Settings/Applications/All/menu/Reset applications preferences (or whatever that's called in english) : that seemed to do a lot of good to my phone ! However, it's a very unsatisfactory answer on a technical point of view, as I still don't know WHAT was precisely needed. It's a "magic wand" solution for which I can't give an explanation.
Not specifically related, but greatly helped my phone in the responsiveness area : Trimmer (fstrim) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fifthelement.trimmer), an updated version of LagFix that you may already know
Hope that helped !

LG G PRO e980 Touch sensitivity

my phone touch is not as responsive as it should be like my old samsung s3.Anyone would like to tell me how I can increase my phone's touch sensitivity?
Any help would be highly appreciated///

You mean like it's not as responsive? Such as when you have to swipe two three times to accomplish something thwart normally takes one swipe? Go into your developer's option and turn on the option where you can see the colors that responding to your touches. See if everyone you touch the screen that a trail if color follows the movement of your fingers in the screen. I'm trying to figure out if your issue is software or hardware. If it's software, you may need to reinstall the ROM you're using. Else if it's hardware, you may need to replace the digitizer. As for now, you can try clean the screen, and get an iPad compatible stylus, which is more sensitive to the touch than the human fingers, since our fingers are dirty, and they leave dirt and greasy residue on the screen. BTW, how and when did you started to notice that your phone screen was less sensitive?

What do i have to do in developers option Please elaborate if you can?
I recently got this phone so comparing to my s3 I think the touch is a bit laggy.Its not all time but for a mere second like when I play games like subway and temple run at some point the touch lags.Also when my phone is in pocket and I receive a call or text sometimes screen stops responding.
I am currently on G3 optimus g8 rom.One more thing I recently flashed bliss rom 5.0.x.In that rom the touch stops working till I press the power key to lock my phone and then unlock it and it starts working again.
I don't know if this is a rom thing or digitizer?
Any help from you would be nice.

You know, in the developer's options, under input section, there is an option for showing the touches, such as ever time you touch the screen the color will show under your finger, which tells you if every touch you do on the digitizer screen has registered or not. If you get a color response every time you touch, but the command seems to lag, then you may have to flash different ROM. But if color doesn't come up every time you touch the screen, then there may be something wrong with the digitizer. If you purchase a second hand phone from an unknown owner, the digitizer screen may haven been replaced before without you knowing it. Try different ROM first, such as blisspop 3.2 or vanir's newest nightly, which are lp 5.1.1.

Now everytime I touch screen a pink mark shows with the whole led flickers shortly every time I touch that happens.I think the digitizer is quite okay because every time I touch the dot shows with pink flickering.What is your opinion on this?
And yes you are right this is a used phone.

It sounds like your hardware is okay. If the lagging responses are only occurring sporadically, then you may want to think flashing a different ROM the solution. Also, if the digitizer is working, sometimes when the screen is dirty, or if your fingers are wet, that will all cause the touch response to lag. Try using a stylus, and see if that helps. IMO, using a stylus on this phone makes the touch more precise and responsive. Besides the touches being unresponsive, do you notice anything else is lagging, such as when opening up an app?

Thanks again for your time.
I dont see any lags in apps etc.I will try some other rom and see what happens then.
One more thing with this phone is that its camera pics are blurry at the top and bottom and sharp at the centre.it gives a miniature like effect to pics.the focusing is not accurate.It seems that its lens cover has been replaced.Do you think its a hardware fault or maybe dust particles on the inside lens.
Any idea what might be the cause?

Try different camera app, if issue persists, try clean the lens, this phone is easy to take apart.
