[Q] Screen not working - Desire General

Hi. When I wake my Desire, the screen is blank. However, the 4 hard keys are lit up, and a tiny crack at the bottom of the screen is lit up. When I put my finger at the slide to unlock, there is a small vibration, indicating that the phone is responsive but not the display. Issue persists after taking out the battery and reinserting.
Thanks in advance.

You mean that your screen doesn't work at all, or at wake up only?

I'm guessing that your screen is broken (not the touch panel, the actual screen) because mines dropped the other day and the same thing was happening so I replaced the screen and it works fine now

Was it covered by your warranty? Where did you replace the screen?

Well if it didn't worked when you got the phone and/or you haven't messed with it (did not drop, change radio...) (eg. it stopped working one day) and the warranty is valid,I don't see why it shouldn't be covered..

I didn't bother with the warranty, I just got it replaced at a local phone shop
You could just order a screen online and try it yourself but make sure you order the right screen

The exact same thing happened to me too. It went into service, they've replaced the screen and the motherboard (wtf?), and now it's all ok, all of this free of charge. Don't bother buying the screen yourself, just go the easy way. It might take a bit longer, but it sure is cheaper.

White spots on black background?

My desire had this problem when I just bought it, whenever there is a black background, the screen would have 3 very dim white semicircles at the edge of the screen, should I send it back to HTC?

Will they replace the lcd or the whole phone?

I had a few bright spots on my LCD. HTC replaced it (got it done in the US) and now they are gone. They did a very good job.
Yours sound like back light leakage? Mine has a pale glow on the mid right side against black background, stayed that way before and after replacing the LCD.
Yeah dropped my phone then screen had a few white dots

[Q] Accidently dropping a call with your cheek

Hello guys
Me and friends using DHDs are having the same problem.
Sometimes hangup the calls with cheeks or ear or ....
Especially it is annoying then you in rush with something, receive important call, hold your phone between shoulder and ear and .............. after some time you accidentally press END CALL button.
It is the biggest minus having touchscreen phone.
The thing is that screen turn offs after some time of talking but it turns on again as you are moving around.
Did anyone find out how to solve this misery?
Would be grateful.

Sounds like an issue with the proximity sensor, if I hold mine wrong I tend to turn on loudspeaker with my face. It's tweaked in some of the ROM's I believe - are you running a ROM or still on Stock?
Hi, thanks for responce.
I have rooted sence 3.0 Rom by nitr0. But this problem is not dependant on my rom as before i had original virgin mobile branded rom and the problem still persists.

Definitely a proximity issue. On CM7 I also had the issue of putting calls on hold with my cheek! You can remove the hold button in the call options.
yes. my screen turns off only when i close proximity sensor totally. though it should do it in a distance.
Unfortunately indigolemon's posted app does not work on my kernel. as my radio is 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M. and Kernel 2.6.35.10.

In cm7, this accidental hold was a b**ch before i removed it; but it took me quite some time to figure it out

Turn off auto-brightness, and power saving.
whats weird
thanks for the advice... i tryed but its not it.. i know what u mean were it can go from light to dark.. but this is a very quick flicker of the screen.
could this be kernel related or even hard ware... im gonna try stock kernel.. im using faux 009.. this didnt happen on the 003 kernel...
faux says not all chips are created equal...just a guess... id hate to return for a refurb phone.. when this is my only problem...
time will tell... i was just wondering if anyone gets this very quick flicker.. not a shift in brightness......

I rarely get them. Once in a while if I am switching from an apps to home screen via home button . I see the main apps on the home screen flicker very quickly once.
I think it started happening when I installed the wicked rom red. Before I was full stock . Matter of fact while typing this message I seen it flicker twice.

If you are in your 14 day period, I would exchange the phone.
This seems like a hardware issue, not a software one.
If the flicker continues then it will only get worse.

[Q] Screen going crazy

My screen is going crazy and automatically opening Google Now whenever I unlock the device or it will just flip out and open other apps or switch screens without touching the screen. Any reasons why this may be happening?
Using a non stock charger? That may be it. Have you dropped it or installed anything new?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
It did it when off the charger as well. I LGNPST'd it but now I can't click on the address bar in Chrome or flick the notification drawer back up as if the screen has unresponsive spots.

If you LGNPST'd your phone and you're still having screen issues, you actually just might have a faulty unit. Are you under warranty or anything?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I think I have the Sprint protection plan and I've had the phone for less than a year.

Very sensitive screen

My screen is very sensitive. Especially when im driving got my phone between my legs and every touching turns on the screen. I owned lg g2 and hadn't that problem

Go into acsessibility and try turning touch respone to medium or long that helps a lot on some 9
Already did that and still the same. I was wondering if somebody there has the same issue.

I thought mine was extra sensitive too, turns out the screen was the problem and send it back for warranty. Lucky for me they took 2 days for a screen replacement.
Now everything seems fine, and for more, check my profile for my other posts.
