Display has a lot of thin white lines

OK I have a T-Mobile Dash with Kavana's WM 6.1 and it *was* working just fine. I flashed the ROM about a week ago, installed SmartToolkit, and it's been running fine for a few days.
Today, out of the friggin blue, I now have a bunch of white lines on my display. They start at the very top of the screen, and fill up a little more than 1/3 of the screen. Each line is 1px thick, and it skips every other line.
I did a screen capture, but it didn't pick the problem up (the captured screen looked great), so I photoshopped the screen shot to show you folks EXACTLY what it looks like on my phone.
This morning, it was fine. I made some calls, sent some emails, and it was working fine. Just about 20 minutes ago, I noticed this problem. I have NOT adjusted any settings, added new software, dropped it, submersed it, or modified it in ANY way. I didn't power cycle it, plug it in, or do anything more than let it sit on my desk next to me.
After I noticed the problem, I reset it, and it was there. I took the battery out, let it sit for a few minutes, rebooted it, and it was still there. The lines DID appear in the windows splash screen as well as the HTC boot logo (the boot logo is not pure white, more like a light grey, so if you angle the phone down a little to darken the grey, you can see the white lines)
These lines appear above ALL screens, including running programs, system menus and messages, and even when shutting down. It does NOT, however, seem to affect the phone's performance, so I can live with it for a few more hours until I see some replies here.
Unless this something that is easily remedied, I figure these should be my next few steps (unless a guru tells me otherwise):
- Soft reset (tried, not solved)
- Soft reset including battery removal (tried, not solved)
- Re-flash ROM with Kavana's 6.1
- Re-flash ROM with T-Mobile factory install (link, anyone?)
- Call T-Mobile for device replacement.
That's my battle plan for now... any thoughts, anyone? Thanks in advance for your help.

Attached picture in my first post updated... I used photoshop to make it look *exactly* like the actual screen. That's the best I could do without actually taking a picture of the phone itself. :\

"Bump" <-- Sorry... don't know if that's against the rules here, but at this point I'm ripping the hair out of my head. Can someone please help?

I had the same problem except it was with i screen I purchased on ebay. It looked exactly the same as yours right after i installed it. It seems the screen was defective. I couldn't fix it so I got the vendor to replace my screen and the new one worked like a charm. So you may, unfortunately need to purchase a new screen.

Like hell I will... the damn thing is less than a month old!!!!!!!! T-Mobile will buy a new screen! LOL
Hey, thanks a lot, I really appreciate that!!

for sure. I wouldn't void my warranty either. Unless someone else has another solution, I would just reflash the t-mobile rom and get replaced. That's a bummer man. Hopefully you get it worked out. Glad I could be of assistance.

Thanks again!
I'm on the phone with TMo right now, and I'm starting to get pissed. I originally signed into t-mo in October last year, so it's been what, 6 months? Since then I've done 3 warranty replacements with the Wing, then they did a "Multiple exchange" to the Dash (which I cant figure out, seeing as the Dash is cheaper) and now this, with a dash less than a month old.
I think I'm going to start a new topic about this so everyone can see what kind of run-around t-mobile is giving me.

Can you say that in plain english now.

I left Sprint for T-mobile in October of 2007 (last year), when I bought the Wing. Since then, I have had to replace it 3 times. Then, on the last warranty replacement (about a month ago) I asked for an alternate model. They sent me the Dash.
Better?

Dude, who put sand in your shorts??? How the HELL do you work out this is ME?? The phone was sitting on a DESK when this happened. It's never been dropped, submersed, abused, struck, anything...
Oh wait, that's right... When I asked T-Mobile about this and they said it's a KNOWN PROBLEM, I suppose that's my fault too, right?? I think you should do a little less talking, because you're a pretty ignorant and useless member that just likes to reply to posts with meaningless, unhelpful, rude messages.

You know, I love the way some people act on this board... (Don't get me wrong, most of you are excellent and helpful, and I'm grateful) But some of you just like to sit here and make absolutely no useful contributions... you just like to chastise people and act all superior without giving any real advice or help.
Ever think maybe people come here for help? If you can't ask for it, or you can't give it, then what are you doing here?

Both of you should mellow out. I adore my dash, but I'm on my third one, (my first refurb) and it has ...issues. My last one died in it's sleep in my pocket. It isn't exactly the toughest phone around, nor the most stable. I suspect the wing is even less reliable, as I researched one at length before choosing dash.
Of course, every time one bites the dust, I think, "is it me?" It isnt that unreasonable for someone else to wonder the same.
Peace love, and good luck with TMo. I've gotten a lot more help from them with sugar than I ever got from Sprint or Verizon with any approach. Don't loose your cool.

Even though I agree with your sentiments, I'm finding it a bit hard to mellow out.
However, I disagree with you on one thing: Yes, I think it really is THAT unreasonable for someone to wonder if the problem is me.. One of the Wings TMobile sent me wouldn't even power on, right out of the box... how the HELL is that my fault, and how the HELL is it natural for someone to think that it is?? What, did I open the box the wrong way, sending a static charge through the foam and frying the circuitry of the phone??
Furthermore, to assume that I'm the problem, when I've shown no signs of incompetence or admittances of dropping, submersions, etc. is not only unethical, it's also pretty insulting.
I know perfectly well how to care for electronic devices, and if I did accidentally drop or submerse a phone, I would be embarassed to try to blame T-Mobile for it.
No, I'm sorry, but it is 100% NOT my fault, and without PROOF it IS unfair and unreasonable for someone on this board to assume so. Certainly if T-Mobile thought it was my fault they wouldn't keep sending me phones, now would they?? No, I'm sorry, but I think people here that are that ignorant are simply posting because they have nothing better to post... and perhaps they just get off on ripping into other people. Perhaps they had their lunch stepped on a few times too many in high school. Maybe they weren't hugged enough. I don't know. All I know is they have no right to make assumptions about me. I didn't do that to them, so they should show me the same respect.

Wierd bubble/discoloration under screen. Help!

Don't exactly know what this is or how it happened. This alteration is in a perfect square in the middle of my rectangle. Also, there are a lot of small "dots" visible. The screen shows through it perfectly, so I know there is nothing wrong with the actual screen or LCD. Maybe the digitizer? The phone functions perfectly, touchscreen and all. Does anyone know what this is or how to fix it?

If this puppy's still under warranty I'd be hitting that up ASAP. That doesn't look right AT all
note: you have 1 year from the date you purchased the phone with AT&T for hardware issues.

If it isn't your screen protector, it is a "Newton Ring", a defect in the LCD. Send it in for warranty replacement.

I had the same issue with my TP2... I would be able to see the colors only under white light or under bright sunlight. I figured it might have sprung up after I dropped the fone. Luckily, mine was under warranty and I had the device replaced for no cost by TMo...you can go down that path or search for the LCD replacement for your fone

Okay guys answer this for me. I didn't buy the phone new, rather I traded my Iphone 3GS for it in or around January. I know the phone didn't come out until September 2009 (I believe). Can I still claim the warranty?

i got the exact same thing, and seeing how my phone is acting up now as soon as i fix it i guess i will be sending it up for a replacement. I thought it was just from the screen protector but i guess its more than that

I got my phone in December.... just called into ATT yesterday to get a warranty exchange because the microphones on my phone stopped working. as long as you have only had it for a year it should be okay. Did you get it from AT&T or did you just trade a friend for it or something?
Either way, it will only take you about 5-10 minutes on the phone to find out if you can exchange it. Might be worth just taking the time to make the phone call to find out.

Ok, so my Tilt 2 just started doing this exact same thing. I called ATT and they said this voids the warranty. They also said if I go through with an exchange and htc feels that its out of warranty then they will charge my account 400+ dollars for the phone.

You know, the issue the thread is about. But I will share the rest of my story in my next post.

Alright, So I'd like to elaborate and share my experience with the "newton's rings" issue. Before via phone call, AT&T said that it was physical damage (even though I treated the device with care) thus voiding the warranty. They told me that if it was a common problem, it would not be a big deal, and then continued to claim that it wasn't a common problem even though I found numerous forums discussing the issue. After discussing the issue further with them, they directed me to a device care center where techs can look at the phone. Once I arrived, I showed the phone to a young lady with a very dry and cold personality (but that was fine) and she took one ultra quick look a the phone and said it was covered, even said that my screen would straight up go out soon because of it. She set up an overnight delivery of a new phone (she swears it's not refurbished) and I was on my way in less than a few minutes. I was baffled that I couldn't get this done over the phone and don't really understand why the employees at the device center seemed so much more knowledgeable than the WARRANTY customer care people I spoke with on the phone.
Overall, it wasn't a super awful experience, but I did have to jump through some unnecessary hoops to get it done. I hope people can learn from my experience today! Good luck!

AT&T replaced mine, but stated the cause was "stress" related. That's bull crap though, it just started doing it on its own. They wanted to claim it on my insurance, but after arguing with a supervisor, they shipped me out another one.

Faulty Desire? Safe Mode and button problem

Hi all,
My missus has a UK T-Mobile Desire, it is bog standard, not been updated with a new rom or even Froyo. Today it showed the Android boot loader and then when it eventually decided to boot it seemed to be stuck in Safe Mode and the Home, Menu and Back buttons don't work.
I'm not sure what might have caused this, it's been running fine.... would a hard reset possibly fix the problem?
Thanks

if you havn't done anything to the phone, return it and get a new one just back up all your things to outlook or gmail or whatever you prefer and you are ready for a new Desire
hope this helps! good luck!

Yeah fortunately there is the return option...
Another thing about two weeks ago the Facebook Friends Stream Widget apparently stopped working for no apparent reason, I don't know if this and the bottom problem is linked...
I'll backup all her contacts etc later and try a hard reset then if necessary speak to T-mobile tomorrow.
Thanks

Tried a hard reset tonight and that made no difference. But playing with the buttons on boot and the phone booted normally..... all the buttons fully operational
Didn't last for long though.... the phone locked and I had to remove the battery.... guess what - SAFE MODE
Holding down the four buttons prevents the Safe Mode words displaying but the four buttons still don't work. I am going to call T-mobile tomorrow and see what they say.

Very angry indeed... outcome of me sending the phone to HTC... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8133471&postcount=32
Any advice would be really welcomed.

omg i just saw the email in the link
****ing outrageous
i had so much trouble with HTC when i had the HD2 but after enough arguing over the phone and threatening them with the sales of goods act they played fair and not only repaired the HD2 but gave me the Desire and a better contract.
how long have you had the phone for?
if you've had it for less than 6 months then phone T-Mobile and demand a new phone because it is covered under that law. That's right, T-Mobile, not HTC, because your contract is with them and it is up to them to supply you with a working phone for the contract agreement and the act states that these goods must last a certain period of time. So phone them up and tell them.
http://whatconsumer.co.uk/the-sale-of-goods-act/
EDIT: read them line by line this:
http://whatconsumer.co.uk/how-long-should-it-last/

To be honest with you I would have sent it to Tmobile and let them deal with HTC. When you bought the handset you entered into a contract with the retailer for the warranty, not the manufacturer. This is not the airtime contract I'm talking about by the way, that is a seperate issue.
I think you should get on to Tmobile about this and tell them you want it sorted asap. You can also contact Consumer Direct by clicking HERE. They will advise you on what your rights are and how to sort your problem out.
You should also look at getting a report from HTC to state exactly what they say the cause of damage was. At least then you will know what you are up against.

I called T-mobile earlier today to tell them what had happened... I was routed through to a call centre in Asia. The person was helpful to an extent... listened... went away... and returned and said that if the Manufacturer said the the phone is damaged and not covered by warranty then there is nothing they can do.
They suggested I take the phone into a T-mobile shop and pay for an exchange (yeah right!). I quoted the SOGA stuff and they have now said that a manager would call me back in 24 hours - the operator could not put me through to a manager nor could my call be re-routed to a UK based agent.
So at this stage I'm no better off really.
I have since heard back from HTC... and a rather abrupt message that I am not happy about... they have also taken two images that I assume shows "damage" there is no explanation with the pictures though...
One image shows a small white stick that half of which has turned red, another shows the motherboard and some circuitry and a small arrow pointing to it.. it looks fine to my untrained eye. Assuming it is damaged in some way is it possible that this is linked to moisture or as there have been issues with Desire motherboards could this be the same thing?
If anyone wants to see the images then I will email them...
Here is the content of the message and my reply however:-
From HTC:
Here are two images of the broken handset there are some more if you want some, as the phone is out of warranty you either pay the quote have the phone returned un-repaired or if you don't respond to the quote the phone will be discarded 30 days.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My reply:
I have viewed the images and am unclear what exact "damage" exists, I will need this to be described fully in a report that summarises the exact nature and extent of any damage and repair required. I assume that the red label indicates the existence of moisture however is it not possible that this could have been activated due to ambience or humidity?
Under the Sale Of Goods Act, any fault that develops within the first six months of a product being sold is deemed to have been present at the time of sale. Since owning the phone, no incident that I am aware of has occurred that would give rise to the damage you say has been discovered, so the Sale Of Goods Act would come in to force. T-Mobile provided the phone in a sealed box, so I do not see how the damage could be down to them and as the ultimate supplier of the phone, I would have to hold you responsible for the sale of defective goods. Under the terms of the Act, it IS FOR YOU TO PROVE OTHERWISE or accept the repair or replacement of the phone at your expense.
In addition the handset is not out of warranty, in fact it is only 4 months old. It was also sent to you in a semi functional state - in other words it could be used fully except that just the bottom row of bottoms (excluding the roller) were not working. Can you please confirm that this is still the case should the handset be reassembled and returned.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU, HTC OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF HTC DISCARD THE HANDSET AS THIS MAY CONSTITUTE A CRIMINAL ACT
I wish to make a formal compliant about the way in which this case has been handled, namely:-
1. I was never told nor did I agree that charges for both repair or return could be charged.
2. I was led to believe that the handset was still within warranty and would be repaired accordingly.
3. I have been told that you must replace items that do not need replacement, such as the LCD screen and the plastic surround which are known to have minor scratches consistent with fair wear and tear.

[Q] Unbelievable - the LCD cracked!!

Unreal, can't believe this has happened. Bottom right hand side of my phone. Glass is fine and everything works but the key component that lets you see everything.. ruined.
Of course it happened two days before im supposed to fly off on holiday
This is a nightmare, need to now get some answers/fixes whatever.
Who will repair this thing? T-mobile my network provider or HTC? Do I even have a leg to stand on with any of this? Surely my consumer rights have to come into play, all i did was put it for charge and checked it ten minutes later to find it had cracked. If the battery or something has caused it to overheat surely it's their fault?
Can i leave it for two weeks while i go on holiday?
If i leave it for a whole two weeks will someone like the companies i mentioned refuse to fix it because i left it? With all that's going on i would really prefer to leave it till i get back. It won't get worse so this would be the best option for me.
My head is all over the place at the moment - What are my next steps now that i've found the LCD has cracked?
Just to add, i got the phone in November so it hasn't been a year yet.
I would really really, really appreciate any sort of help on this, even the slightest bit!

Sorry to hear, it's an awful feeling when such things happen just at the wrong time.
From other users experience and my you send to htc, which have an awful service center.. A mate and an xda member had his phone with them for a month before they decided to send him a new one, that's after number of phone calls and a believe a letter and from my experience then sent me my phone back in the same state as it was send.
Others have better experience with the network provider. And it shouldn't be a problem at all leaving it 2 weeks, I say that I confidence.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA

Very reassuring, cheers!
So if HTC tend to give you a new phone then my next step after coming back will be to grab every last bit of data off the thing. Good thing apps are linked to your Gmail account.
I might just see what my network provider says so it gets done quicker. It would be good to have a chance of getting a new phone though, haha.
To be honest I have three ways of sorting this, get it fixed with HTC, get it fixed with t-mobile or try and get it fixed with mobiles.co.uk the place I got it from. Essentially carphone warehouse.
I always prefer going the official route i.e HTC and I may even wait a while for it. Anyway I have to call them first and see what they say.
Again, very helpful cheers.

Send it to htc. The others will forward it to them anyway. The repair centre has vastly improved recently. They changed locations a while ago which slowed everything down but it's much better now. They also send a courier to collect the device the next day (after reporting) so you could send it away now and have it repaired when you return. Hope this helps.
Sent from my Motorola Startac running Atari 2600 software!

Will they just repair it? I had a HD2 a while back and my screen cracked sent it off to HTC for repair they rang me couple days later and told me that accidental damage was not covered by warranty. I asked for it back as they were quoting silly prices. They may try to fob you off with this and try to say it your fault.
Ricey

If the repair centre CAN repair it, they definitely will (that is one of their main performance indicators, repair vs replace). Yes, send it to them direct, cut out the middle man.
If there is no obvious impact that caused the crack, ie it's not your fault, I'd recommend you research heat (?) as a contributing factor and take them down that path, so that they don't spend too much time on the diagnostics. Doesn't sound normal to me, but they may have prior experience.
My only experience of a HTC repair centre was excellent, although it was 2 years ago and for a WM Prophet . They were in front of where I was working at the time and they took 2 days to fix, not replace the phone.
Oh, and install Titanium Backup, and do a full backup to your card.

Cheers for the advice!
Will definitely get in touch with HTC before anyone else. It's got to be a heat issue but what if they refuse? Can i bring my consumer rights into it? The crack looks like someone has pushed on it from behind but there is no outside damage and i was sitting in the room while it was charging; nobody touched it. It was hot when i picked it up but it always gets hot around the back when i charge it. It's definitely a heat issue but god knows what they say.
Hope i can just explain that and they will help.
Haven't rooted my phone so cant get Titanium backup but tbh i might as well root and backup everything thenrestore it all to default.

What do i do now that HTC has screwed me over?

Just to give you a brief rundown of everything that's happened..
I'm 17 and saved up for a few months to buy a HTC One X. Needless to say, it's probably the most expensive phone i've ever owned, since all my other phones were hand-me-downs and old phones from eBay.
This morning i wake up and go to work as usual. Just to find my phone's display won't switch on. As you can imagine, I'm tirelessly panicking and try the 3 button combo.. to no avail.
Using Fastboot to reboot didn't work either.
This phone turned into a brick overnight, and i have no idea what happened??
Just before i left for work, i did check my phone and it was working alright.. Then five minutes later, it won't display anything.
The thing is, I can't take it back to HTC either because this is my 5th replacement phone!
First one had black glue smudged on the LCD it's self,
Second one had the screen not glued down and wasn't aligned,
Third one didn't even have any glue applied and the case wasn't even attached properly,
Forth one had this problem where the screen's LCD would dilate if i touched it - even lightly,
and this one is my 5th, the antenna wasn't properly connected and now the screen doesn't work.
I've had terrible luck, and i don't know what i can do?
If you can give me any information to get me out of this, it would be much appreciated.
Although i still can receive text's and calls fine, it's just the display..

Since you’re unlocked and running a non-stock kernel and ROM, maybe some of the dev-ish folks can help you resuscitate it if it’s indeed a s/w problem.
If it’s a h/w problem, what to do depends on where you bought the phone and how old it is. If it’s within the remorse/DOA period maybe you can exchange it. It’ll be hard for whoever you bought it from to see you’ve unlocked it if nothing’s showing on the display.
If it’s outside of the exchange period you’ll have to send it in for repair. If you can’t bring it back to life to flash it back to stock you’ll have to throw yourself on the mercy of HTC Asia in getting it fixed unlocked. HTC's different repair centers seem to all have different policies related to warranty coverage for h/w faults on unlocked phones. If it is a dead display maybe you’ll get lucky.
You might want to put a note in with it telling your “I’m 17” story and how devastated you are something you’ve worked so hard for has failed. Repair techs are people too. Good luck.

I shook the device out of frustration.. and it started working for a few seconds.
What's going on here? Is it a faulty display/connection? Is there a way to possibly just send it to a nearby phone shop and get it fixed?
Sorry about all the questions, I'm shocked, happy, and devastated all at the same time.

Are HTC refusing then? That seems a bit off/ illegal... Surely under the faulty goods act (I assume the law isn't THAT different in Australia to UK) they have to take it back as it CAN'T be a year old and they can't prove the issue was caused by your mistreatment. It doesn't matter how many phones you've had... Also, where did you buy the phone from? I think you should be able to return it through the shop as THEY sold you the phone, not HTC... They are still under an obligation as they sold you the thing.
Plus, the 'I'm a 17 year old and saved up for ages thing' might work too! I'd try not to get too technical with the law if you go down this route though!
Best of luck sorting this out. It's within your rights to get a replacement (you bought the phone new, I assume?) so I'm sure this will eventually work out. Don't give up! You just need to speak/ write to the right person...

What rom were you on?
I remember my One X not charging at all while it was turned off completely although it showed Orange charging led.
It could be that you ran out of battery and phone not turning on. Due to no charging effect.

@Op,
Reading your story there's one thing that's crossing my mind.
Could it be possible the battery run dry during the night?
It sounds stupid but those things you forget easy when you're in a hurry or stressed.
I don't read anything in your post you tried to charge.

Yes. But not in every region (yet). Do a search. It's been disucssed. Also, it appears Samsung's going down the same path.

Aware of the discussion... Using the xda app and didn't pick up that the phone's been 'HTCdev'd (my fault for not reading properly - sorry, folks!). Still not sure HTC/ Samsung can legally 'sign your rights away' though. Still, not a discussion for here...
Hope you got the phone sorted anyway.
