[Q] Screen Not Showing Anything - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys today my phone's screen I think just died. I turn it on and then the screen lights up (like its still black but it gets brighter), the phone vibrates and then loads. The thing though is that it also loaded up android and everything. I can tell because I wait for a while and then put my phone to sleep, then I wake it again and since I have no password on my phone I just slide to unlock it. It vibrates showing that I unlocked it so the touchscreen still works. Can anyone help?

Loose cable in screen? U rooted or anythin? Return for repair if you can.

Camera causes reboot?

As titled, anyone else?
I am surprised tht all the other reboot problem is from overheat because my desire doesn't get hot at all...
As for my desire, not rooted, definitly not caused by apps because i specifically tried to use the stock rom (unbranded) and it still exist...
It happens when i start up camera, te screen will turn black and if i press power button quickly enough, it will turn screen off as usual, when is unlocked, it will go back to the home screen. If i leave the black screen for a second or not, it will reboot my phone (soft reboot)
Problem only occurs sometimes, no symptoms that show if the camera will cause reboot or not.

HTC Desire frozen lock screen issue

Hi,
Recently, my Desire HD has crapped out during the process of changing my back ground wall paper. It restarted and some how the screen got stuck on lock screen with the screen being totally unresponsive. I can tell the device is "semi-working" as the top bar shows that the phone does all its start up processes and the top lock button works (although it is with a delay).
Is there a reason why this is happening?
Any solution to it? (Yes I have gone through google for 2 hours without solution found)
If I have to resort to hard reset, is there any way I can back up my messages + things in the phone aside from programs before resetting?
Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance!
frozen lockscreen
my desire has done the same thing since rooting and using android rev rom. the only way i got mine to respond was to drop the battery out then put it back in and reboot with the charger plugged in and switched on. as soon as the phone is on, unlock it and use it. this did the trick with me. hope it helps.

[Q] Lock Screen Remains Black on Unlock

This is a problem that seems to be getting worse and worse for me.
I'm running the stock ROM from HTC on my Desire HD.
When the phone goes to lock and and I press the power button to unlock it, 95% of the time the screen does not come on.
The touch screen is still enabled however, as I can unlock by swiping and make the phone vibrate by pressing the home key, and the back light does come on and off every time I press the power button. But the screen just doesn't come on.
I've read that the DHD has had a lot of problems with the proximity sensor, but I'm not sure that that is my problem as the back light comes on and the touch screen can still be operated blindly.
Any suggestions as to how I might fix it?
Seems to be a hardware issue from the looks of it. Rooted? Which stock firmware?
I bought the xda app. Problem?
If you are s on then there are two things you can try. First I would clear app cache, turn of fastboot and re boot phone. If problem persists then re install ruu.
If you are s off go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and see if that works. If not do a backup of your downloaded apps and re install ruu.

Just wanted to check, does your screen come on as normal when you enter hboot?

Thanks for helping out.
the hboot screen has the same intermittent problems as the phone normally does. If I turn it off with the screen working, the hboot screen will probably come on. Though there has been one instance where I was in hboot with the screen not working.
I'm going to try wiping the cache (I'm still s-on) and turning off fastboot.
Here's more details about the phone itself:
Kernel Version:
2.6.35 10-g931a37e
Build Number:
3.13.161.3
Android Version:
2.3.5
I really hope its just a software problem I can sort out myself. Hate sending my phone off the HTC.
Yeah I would try software first. Though since you say it happens in hboot as well it is most likely a hardware issue. Probably not what you want to hear.

Damn, I'll send it off to HTC and let you guys know how it goes

Oops. Uninstalled a sense app and now phone display isn't working.

So, I feel like I should preface this with the full realization that I am an idiot.
Now that that's out of the way, here's what happened.
This thing runs crazy slow, and I heard HTC Sense (Amongst other things) slows it down. So, I Unlocked the bootloader and rooted my CDMA Virgin Mobile One V using the steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751004
Afterwards, I tried to flash a rom of CGM 10, which didn't work. When I attempted to boot into recovery mode both from ROM manager and from the bootloader, I got a phone with a red ?. I tried a few times, couldn't figure it out, so, I gave up on the roms.
Then I found out you can uninstall apps using titanium backup. I uninstalled an app related to sense. I'm not sure which one exactly. After this, my home button stopped working. Upon realization, I did a factory reset through the bootloader, thinking it would resolve the issue. Now, when I boot the phone, the htc screen shows, the VM screen shows, then it goes black. The indicator light is flashing like I have a notification, however. Additionally, when I received a message on facebook, my phone vibrated. My theroy is that the phone is working in the background, but just don't display anything on screen.
When I use vol down + power to attempt to load into the bootloader, the phone just turns on and displays the symptoms above. I don't know of another way to get into the boot loader so that I can attempt to flash an RUU. Am I totally screwed here?
Good news is that I have my old Optimus V as a backup, but the thing is ancient and I'd really prefer to get my One back up and running. If the one is a turtle, speed-wise, my Optimus is a gargoyle.
Oh, and for the record, *facepalm*.
Update: I plugged the phone in to charge, and the unlock ring came up. I am able to get into the settings and notifications from the top bar, but the home screen still won't come up. I still can't get into the bootloader, either.

I guess ur best shot is to get new rom flashed or use some nandroid.

Sounds like you removed the Sense launcher which displays your apps, wallpaper, etc. I would try flashing another rom

Just reflash the ROM you were on WITHOUT full wipe

S III sgh-i747 turned off and wont turn on URGENT

i apologize if this has been solved but i am on a very tight time frame as i need this phone for work and cant spend any longer searching. my phone randomly turned off by itself this morning and will not turn back on. it gets to the samsung splash screen and the screen just goes black and the phone wont do anything, its like the screen is stuck off, i have to take the battery out to make it turn do anything at all again. it was stock this morning, never been rooted or anything, i just rooted it about an hour ago and installed twrp and flashed jedi invasion 5 on it in hopes it would help. now it gets past the splash screen and to the initial setup screen but it only stays on it for about 3 seconds before the screen goes black again and i have to take the battery out for it to do anything again. im not an expert by any means but i have flashed note 2's and played with them a bit and know my way arround them for the most part. any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
almost forgot to mention, in download mode it says qualcomm secureboot: enable
not sure if that means anything but i didnt get any errors while flashing or anything
thanks everyone

I would make sure you have to correct drivers installed for the phone on your computer and ODIN back to stock. You can give that a try and see if it helps.
I'll check that out when I get home but I'm pretty sure everything is right, it was doing it before I even flashed anything so I think something else is the problem

Faulty battery or power button. You can try ODIN back to stock, not likely it will help.
It's not a battery or power button problem. Before I rooted it if I took the battery out and turned it on again it would turn on fine if I kept the screen from turning off. and the battery was staying charged, and if it wer a power button problem why would it work to turn the phone on but not again after its on?

My vote is a faulty power button. Has been known to happen on the S3. Could be power issues though. Bad battery could be the culprit. If flashing stock does not work see if you can get a battery to test out.

ok so i flashed stock and it fixed it temporarily. after i flashed it it was working great so i decided to root it and flash jedi. so i did this and it still worked great. (at this point i should mention that the sim card in the phone has been deactivated this whole time) so since its working i activate the simcard, restart the phone, and the problem started again. so i took the sim card right out and turned it back on and it works perfectly fine without the sim card in... what do you guys figure? should i try a new sim card? has anyone ever herd of this happening before?
EDIT: tried my other sim card in it and it doesn't work either, so it snot the simcard itself
Bump
