[Q] need help with a strange screen problem

I have an HTC Desire Bravo and it suddenly developed this screen issue.
I uploaded images of the phone to my flickr. It seems that perhaps the lcd oil has leaked or maybe water has gotten in. I'm sure it was caused by pressure on the screen as the LED backlights are more visible round the sides now and the inside screen (LCD) seems curved outwards but the outside (digitizer/touchscreen) doesnt seem bent. anyway here's the links to my pictures, If anyone finds a way to fix it without sending it off to get a new screen please let us know!

In order to fox the screen yourself it literally requires you take take apart the ENTIRE phone from back to front. I'm sure you can find a guide on Google, but you'd be really putting your phone at risk if you haven't got any experience with this.

You can't fix this yourself.. needs to be sent for repair, you'll only make it worse mate

I kinda figured. I was hoping to see if it was possible to open the phone and just blow air between the screen and digitizer.. that way i could theoretically pop them apart with like a bit of surgical tubing and an industrial strength blower.
But if the screen isnt connected with a ribbon and is just silicon stuck on then i'm not doing it. HATE that silicon ****.
Oh and thanks bortak

I had the same problem on my Samsung jet. It's a LCD leak. U can fix it ur self but it is very complicated and requires you to dissassemble your phone ..

Screen problem. Help?

I have only had my hoc about 3 days and now out of the blue it starts doing this. It's a band about 1.5 inches wide and it doesn't have touch screen responsiveness. Here's a picture I drew in a little doodle app that shows the problem.

That is almost certainly a hardware failure. Try a factory reset but I don't think it's likely to fix it, if not, return it for repair/relacement.

send it back...go to the store or carrier you got it from. tell them what is wrong with it and they should replace it for you since you only had it for 3 days..best thing to do really

Sounds like a hardware problem. Send it for repair maybe.

thats the thing i bought this item on ebay. but i dont think it was something that he did,or that he is scaming. i think it has happened since i have had it. at any rate. a problem like this would be the digitizer or the screen itself?

Could be, have tried a factory reset? If not, try it, if so, return it.

same problem I had and tried everything including hard reset and removing calibration. none helped.
sent it back for replacement. you should do the same . i hope it is not rooted

And one question :
Did it happen after a few days from 1.29 update. Mine did so.
And here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617009 ) it says that :
"I just had a reply from my contact at HTC (he's been off for a few days) confirming that 1.29.xxx.11 will recalibrate the screen over the course of a few days."
May be this recalibration (somewhere else I read that it was reconfiguring the voltage settings of the display) process damages the hardware.

I forget what version i wad on but i personally hadnt upfated the phone ter. The og owner may have tho.i contacted him and he daid i could return it for a full refund.

[Q] What should I do with this screen?

Hello,
I've had my desire for almost a year now, and it broke yesterday... I was playing with my 6-year old nephews, and my desire fell out of my pocket. I didn't know that it was broken until I wanted to check my whatsapp a few hours later, and when I did, the screen was like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
... (lol the image is way too big)The touchscreen is working fine, I can turn it on and unlock it, I can even send an whatsapp, because I knew where the icon was. So what should I do with it? Repair it if it's possible? How much would that cost? I now have an iPhone 3gs as stand-in, should I keep that for as long as my contract lasts (1 year)? Or should I buy a new one? If so, which one would you advise me? A cheap one please, as I want to save for the PS4 later this year.
I'm running Sandvolds ICS for those that want to know...
Thanks!

There's a possibility that the screen cable is slightly disconnected. Try to disassemble the phone, and check the cable.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try
Edit: Yeah I tried to take it apart, seems I've got no T5 screwdriver at home... Basically, if I would take it apart I would have not any idea what te screen cable is... Is it the LCD connecter? I do know quite a bit about software and that sort of stuff, but I'm a n00b at replacing hardware :S

I had the exact same screen on my Desire :silly:
That screen is broken and you need to replace it. I would recomend a professional to do it because I tried to do it myself and I destroyed my phone. And the other thing if you decide to go on with replacement - Desire had two different screen types and every type had one or two subtypes which are NOT compatible with each other so you need to know exactly what type of screen you have

HTC one x touch screen issues

Hi the centre of my screen has decided to stop working?!?!
I think it may be
Screen
Screen connection
Software related (I doubt)
I have used a touch screen app to show where its stopped working. Any one else had this problem?

Any help appreciated

Hi!
I have exact the same problem! After I spilled a little bit of water on my phone this part stopped working..
It is an hardware failure.
This all happened a few months ago, and it's annoying, but I can live with it. If you have to touch this exact part, you can rotate the screen to landscape mode and click the part you want to touch.

That's good to no never thought to rotate the screen! Thanks for that I havent dropped or spilt anything on my screen so I have no idea how it happened its a bit annoying.

Hi friend..... your motherboard would have to be changed or the digitizer. Had the exact same issue. If it is under warranty then replace asap....if not ...its costly.... Mine was fixed under warranty.
This was some known issue I believe last year, then it went quiet.
Regards.

Sorry for digging up this old thread, but I'm having this issue 2 times 1 a row. The first time was at the beginning of this year, I sent it to repair under warranty. Everything works perfectly until yesterday, the problem came back again. Any tips or tricks on how to fix it without replacing any hardware? I have ran out of my warranty contract and my phone is rooted so it's gonna cost me if I send my phone to htc

Bump. I also have this issue with my HOX, I'll report back if I manage to fix it.

[Q] Anyone else have a gap like this?

There is a small gap between the face and the body on my watch. Does anyone else have this as well?

Wow that's weird. Return that one! Definitely not ip67

Mine doesn't do this, but the two I have show stuck pixels. The quality control (if there is any) on these things is really disheartening. Dead pixels and now things like this start showing up?!? They hyped the watch for months, you'd think they could figure out how to make it correctly?

I talked with Moto support and they escalated it saying they hadn't seen that issue before. Since I bought it from Best Buy just 2 days prior they recommended I take it back and get another.
Well of course they are out so I just got a refund. Back to the waiting game again. :crying:

just checked mine, doesnt have it.

Went back to BB today and they had a silver. No gap, no stuck pixels, and it's charging as we speak. Since I used it for a few days before having to return it, I really missed some of the functionality. Will be nice to have one again. :victory:

Nope. Mine just had a gap like this on the left but not the right
