Has anybody had this problem? only thing that I recently added was the tegra 2 app that lets you play high quality graphic games and such. Tried everything but phone screen will not turn on.
More info would be nice, rom, kernel...
So it is turning on, but not the screen, or is it not turning on at all?
Running the randomrom 2.2 with vision kernal on a ec05.. No idea. i was on the phone and some grey lines appeared and then got bright, froze and turned black. It would briefly turn back on depending how I slid open the keyboard but now its totally dead.. A new one is on its way right now though. No water damage but I'm guessing a faulty connection between the keyboard and the screen. the phone itself will work but the screen itself is just dead but the touch sensors still work lol
Well since you cannot see what you are doing on the screen, I have a feeling it was the tegra app, since the epic is not compat it could of been some issues. You stated you tried everthing, but dont say if you also tried going into clockwork..etc...I would first take the battery out so that the phone will be in the "off" state then try to see if you can power up the phone and get display when doing the (3) finger boot into clockwork to reflash/restore or try to flash via the "download" mode in Odin to start fresh all over again. If you get display there you go, and if not it looks like the display is shot.
I always try to do a backup in clockwork here and there just in case stuff like this happens after I install an app that screws up the phone.
Yeah i actually got the display to work the same day but the screen had to be slid open exactly right so I did a restore and nada.. Same with the battery pull which is always the first thing but I have a feeling its most likely a connection issue with the screen and the keyboard. As far as the app goes it is the chainfire 3d app that lets you play tegra games so sorry for that confusion. Ill just end up odining it back to stock and sending it back when the return package comes since I can still do that without having to see the screen.
10-4 sounds good
One way to fix it if it happens again is to set low end of mhz at say 400hz. The issues is that the screen goes to sleep and does not wake up. It happend to be a few times and after I changed the low end it never did it again

ok so i searched on the sites for a fading to a white screen problem but it looks like its related to the dpad... my phone was really low on battery last night it kept beeping continuously... so by the time i got to plug it in the screen started to fade to white... now the screen has vslight vertical lines and every time i shut off the phone with the power button and turn it on it comes normal but as soon as u touch the screen it fades to white!!! was this caused by the low battery. i fully charged it but still have the same prob. i tried clearing my storage and that didn't help..what do i do?
white screen
you will need to replace the board for the dpad.
ok thanks. is this the same issue that others are having as well? the wierd thing is half the time it works the other half it doesnt...
I had a similar problem. I had pressed the power button to check the time and screen was white! SR rebooted and after the first splash screen the screen faded to white. I finally founded a product called Pocket Controller http://www.soti.net/ (trial ver works fine) that allowed me to see my phone on my computer. I was then able to backup my data to the storage card. I reflashed the phone and it’s worked fine afterwards.
yeah man thats what happened to me exactly... im reflashing the official wm6 rom now... ill post what happens... thanks

damn it didnt work with me my screen still goes in and out when it chooses to. and it is my dpad b/c it stops working when the screen is gonna go..
Hi,
Try tightening the screw behind the red hang up button on the dpad. There is a component behind there which causes this problem. If tightening doesn't work try loosening. It's all to do with the pressure on the chip. Very odd problem.
Also try squeezing the bottom right hand corner of the phone and SR.
Bonkers solution for a bonkers problem but it certainly fixed one of mine.
Good luck!
yes, the screw tightening/unloosing thing works for me. same thing happened when i dropped my unit. i even completely dismantled it (managed to fix the microsd card spring). something loose with the connections.
niec guys thanks... i will try the tightening and loosening the screw... i tried holding down the bottom right and SR didn't work but thanks anway... i guess i have to buy a screw driver to open this thing up... god i remember when i had to take apart my mpx 220 im getting flashbacks!!!
Had exactly the same problem but mine was due to an phone shop employee dropping it. It would do exactly the same as yours. Sometimes it would work fine and once when I reflashed it the problem went away for a few days but if came back.
I used to control it using Soti pocket controller but them migrated to Net Support as that allowed me to control over wifi. In the end had to get it replaced.
Ok, I was having some software issues with my Tilt 2 (TP2) and I talked to Tech @ AT&T, cause I wanted to get it exchanged. So they had me go and check to see if my ROM was outdated, which it was. I bileive it was on 1.59-ish, and now its on the most current one direct from HTC's Support site. My main problem right now is that the phone is 99% unuseable at the moment. AT&T has already agreed to send a replacement after talking with them a few hours ago, but its going to take about a week to get here, and it'll most likely have the same ROM and the same problems, so here I am posting to let people know whats going on, and see if anyone else knows what causes this/has this issue.
Right now the phone is completely stock, only installed app is MS My Phone so I could sync my contacts. I can let the phone sit till the screen shuts off from idle, but if I need to turn on the screen once it turns off, it requires the battery to be taken out. Right now my phone is sitting in front of my keyboard, with its screen black and off, while the keyboard is lit up. Something to note - the keys on the bottom of the screen are NOT lit up. Pushing buttons on the keyboard does nothing. Caps Lock and FN do NOT light up their coresponding indicator lights. If I am lucky, I can get the phone to come out of this state by having someone call me, but aside from that, taking out the battery has been the only way to reset it. Only way to keep the screen from freezing is to constantly use the phone. Using the phone is slow as balls. I thought TF3D was slow, Sense is just as bad. It worked perfectly fine at first, right after it was updated, it was nice and fast, but now that its been used for a few hours, its sluggish.
Anyone ever had this issue with this ROM?
And does anyone know how to possibly fix this issue, or at least get it so the screen will show that its on? I can deal with it being slow, so long as I can use the screen
Thanks guys

You already ruled out a software issue by flashing another stock ROM. This is something hardware related. Sense on the AT&T ROM is dreadfully slow. Use a custom ROM if you want the features of Sense, but in a faster iteration.
Well, something very odd just happened to my samsung focus (at&t) when I rebooted it. After the samsung screen shows, a pure red screen shows up for about 2 seconds and then it goes black. when I push the power button (or hold it) it simply goes back to the red screen again! Naturally, I thought to battery pull which simply put it back onto the samsung screen only to then go back to the red screen again.
I then thought 'maybe this is some sort of glitched state that it is in (it does seem to be stable in this state of redness, the capacitive buttons seem to give haptic feedback when pressed and the power button turns the screen off and on) so I decided to battery pull again and then connect it to my pc to see if it would detect that the phone was in this special "mode". after the battery pull, the phone booted back as normal??? It had about 89% power according to the battery percentage app when I rebooted??
it is fine now, but WTF was that anyway??
EDIT: ok, now it gets weirder, I got it to go into this state and quickly connected my usb cable to the computer and... zune pops up and it goes to that screen with the phone wanting to sync, but the phone being grayed out?? when I dragged a picture to my device, IT STARTED TO SYNC WITH DEVICE! It didn't even get an error and, after a successful reboot to the actual phone, THE PICTURE WAS ON MY DEVICE??? oh, and btw, it boots insainly fast when it is in redscreen mode...
i am now seriously confused beyond all hope
happened to my omnia 7 yesterday.
Just as well since i was going to flash the new rom anyways (and i did.. hasnt happened yet)
I think...it happened when i took my sim out.. i put it in and dont think it happened.
Might have to do with samsung. Other than Dell, Samsung has proven to be the weakest OEM in terms of hardware/software/firmware reliability.
I had this after I tried the 16Bit gradient hack. Setting the values back to 16 solve the red screen problem.
Wow... Ur right! Thanks for the fix =D
Sent from my mailbox
it is related to the 16 bit banding reg hack. It has been discussed/mentioned in that thread several times...
Has happened to me 3 or 4 times in the last month, ever since I changed the values to fix the banding on my Samsung Focus.
Just yank the battery and restart, hasn't been a continuous problem for me, and definitely a small trade-off to get rid of banding, IMO.
Same over here
Now that you mention it. I have the same RSOD problem with my Omnia 7 after the 32 colour bit hack. In my case it will happen after I have switch the phone off for the night and switch it back on in the morning. It's fine when the phone is switched off and on again.
I rooted the phone using odin, then threw lost kernal on the phone. then used odin to flash the stock pulled kernel to eliminate the yellow triangle then used CWM to flash back to lost kernel. then went to zedomax V3. phone has been working very good. did freeze one time when opening a game and then restarted on its own after a few seconds but this is only once so far. I never knew about this problem until last night when i attempted to do a 100% charge with the phone off so I could reset batt stats. well, EVERYTIME I turn the phone off, it stayed off for a few seconds but then it would always turn itself back on... just flashed back to lost kernel (stable version) and it is now sitting powered off charging just like normal. I liked the OC ability but I will sometimes need my phone to stay off, say when I get on a plane...
anyone else have this problem
Same here I am running version V3 of Zedo, stock rooted.....and have the same issue the phone will not stay off. I have tried it both ways with QuickReboot and also manual with the power button and still have the same results. For me it is NBD but I have not been in a situation where I need to have the phone stay off.
I also tried it with quickreboot (not sure if I have the same app, blue circle with a yellow lightning bolt?). also, does your phone do this? when I shut down using the power button long press, choose power off and then hit ok, it shows the sprint logo with the exploding boxes looking screen, capacative buttons stay lit up for a while as its shutting down, quick reboot just SHUTS DOWN! lol, its like the difference of being on a PC and choosing shutdown or just flipping the switch on the back of the PSU. is it better to shut it down the stock method?
(side note- my palm pre power button started acting up so now I do what I can to use the epics power button as little as needed, which is why I have a screen icon to lock my phone and reboot with quick reboot)
yea we have the same quick reboot program....as for shutting it off which way, I think it is better to shut the phone down using the power button and have the phone go thru the shut down process vice just shutting down right there and then like a light switch. I do the same on a pc i try never to just hold the power button to shut down the pc unless it freezes, I just do the regular shut down process.
I flashed zedo v3 too and had problems too. At random moments i couldnt text, browse web,make calls or get calls unless i reboot. I unrooted it and phone went back to normal. Im sure zedomax will put out a better kernal, he knows wats up. Has anyone else had dat problem?
actually the not-staying-off was the only problem I even had on that kernel except the freeze that happened one time. today on lostkernel, right in a row I had 4 texts say they failed to be sent but then when I talked to the people later they all told me that they were actually delivered. I even rebooted the phone after the first 2 and the next 2 still said failed so I highly doubt that it was anything other than a weird problem with the network though... although I dont know exactly how the whole process works. I think I am going to go back to zedomax later though, I dont fly often so if I end up on a plane Ill just flash lostkernel again since I leave both files on the card on a daily basis. and I like the setcpu profiles. could always go with the experimantal build of lost kernel since technically the zedomax is a beta as well...
Hi i have this supper anoying problem after 5.0.2 update! So basicaly What it does is when ever i will pick up the phone it would turn off like the screen would dim (not rebbot or shut down) and after a little tapping on a screen it would turn on again and sometimes when it does that it would glitch a little. While typing this it happened twice its sooooo anoying idk what to do now if i wont find any solutions i will just buy samsung galaxy or something like that. Also my carrier is Virgin Mobile thanks
Same problem, same phone.
Definitely annoying! Seems random but especially while rotating for me. I have not been able to dig up any solutions thus far.
Check out your proximity sensor settings in the HTC testing app, or try Gravity screen. Mine did the same thing a couple times, also clean off your screen at the very top left, if you look real good you can see the sensor just under the front camera hole in the glass, also sometimes a screen saver will mess with this sensor. One more thing is the stock lock screen can cause an issue similar to what you are talking about, hope one of these help yo out, cane0716

hi
thanks for information i already gave that phone to my friend and i think he fixed it by actually having different lock screen i currently have samsung galaxy s5 its wayyyy better lol
Phone turns off during use and will not complete boot unless plugged to charger even when the battery is almost full.
This error started last night after I did factory reset because of observed phone lag. I did mistakenly "wiped internal storage" but got the alert of "no OS during reboot", so I restored from my backup from SD.
the phone started properly but went off during initial setup and will go back off each time I tried turning it back on. I thought it was battery so I plugged it to power.
it did boot but will go back off once I have few touches on the screen.
I had to leave it plugged to setup my accounts else it will go off.
I'm using its Wi-Fi to send this message via my PC because any 2 - 3 touches will switch the phone off.
once it does that, it won’t even boot to bootloader before it goes off again unless plugged to power.
what I do to solve this please??
