My phone just started doing this. The screen will go completely black for a split second. And the screen is not timing out because it did does it while I'm doing something. For example it just did it as I was typing this out. I am completely stock S-ON GB. No modifications at all. Anyone hear of this before?

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 So they had me go and check to see if my ROM was outdated, which it was.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.
A few days ago I succesfully (at least I thought so..) flashed my Desire to Cyanogenmod 7 using Amon-ra and it worked perfectly, until today out of nowhere my screen is black with a couple of white lines from top to bottom. One minute it worked as normal, and a couple of minutes later when I pressed the top button to unlock it, the screen was all weird. The touch functions of the screen seem to work as normal, I can unlock the screen, shut it down, power it up, enter my pin etc (blindly) but I see only the vertical lines so it's hard to check what's going on. I do see that the lines "move" when something changes on the screen, like when I unlock it, I see that the screen does react on it, but only some lines appear, move or disappear. For the rest, the sound works as normal when I turn op the volume, as does the vibrating.
I have a PVT4 S-on (thats all I remember) if it makes any difference.
Picture is from a camera, not a screenshot. Looks a bit yellow or so but the background is black, and the lines are white.
Does anyone know what it caused and what I can do to fix it? Maybe reset it or reflash it someway?
Many thanks in advance!!
Where's the picture?
You might want to give HTC a ring.
Request from puntchiel, a picture of his mobile phone:

Hm I forgot the picture, my friend len posted a link for me, for Im not yet able to do that cauz Im a nub
Thx len!
Yeh, send it to HTC or your carrier. It looks so ****ed
Well, sending it back and profiting from my insurance is my last option cuz I wont have it back for at least a month. Does anyone know what it could have caused or what could be a way to solve this highly annoying thing? I can't imagine that it is a hardware problem that occured this sudden... And the screen is reacting to my input but it only shows the frikkin lines! So I hope that it is a software problem. I just have no idea how to solve it, so thats why I'm asking the pro's on this forum
And btw, if I'm sending it back I need to make sure that they don't find out of the custom software on my device. That leaves me only two options I quess, fixing it or completely smashing it... So if someone at least knows how to use a RUU or something via my PC (without having to use the screen of my desire), your help is very much appreciated!!!

Ohh yeah thats helpful; i am sure he did not think to contact htc himself
That picture recalls bad experience with my ex Nokia 5800xm. I had to replace display.
Maybe it is not same case but it looks same.
I have exactly the same problem, flashed cm7 on my desire a few months ago.
Worked all fine.
Then yesterday all of a sudden i had a black screen with white lines.
Maybe you, puntchiel, have found any sollution?
I'm sorry Hanswurst, I had my ensurance company pick up my device and they replaced the screen, so I asume it was a hardware problem. I wish I could help you buddy. Good luck with it!
I had an issue with my EVO4G where the screen died and would not turn on.. Phone worked fine and I was able to make calls. I took the phone to sprint repair and they replaced the screen (which also replaced the front buttons and the volume front camera etc). NOW, the phone screen works but the bottom buttons do nothing. Im running SPRINT LOVERS ROM (latest) and also a custom BUNP CHARGE KERNEL. is there a fix for this issue??
Thanks ...
First thing to try, flash to a stock rom and a stock kernal. This will rule out those being the problem. Second, the bottom buttons arent really buttons, they are just part of the touch screen. So if the rest of the screen is working, that's wierd.

Tried all of that. It ended up being a bad replacement screen. I had them put another one on and it now works.

i have that same, but only when DZ lie flat on back on Table or samethig like this
when i tip DZ so that lie not flat, it works fine
doesn't that just mean it's frozen? kinda an android trait for now. this happens to me all the time. not ALL the time or else my phone would be garbage, but plenty of times, which leads to me getting pissed off. but it's kind of the name of the game with any android phone i'd imagine... it always unfreezes after 20 seconds or so though (usually something ends up not responding).
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
