I just flashed KH2 and everything was working fine, Facebook crashed once so I took out the battery, now the screen's very dark and dull, colors aren't sharp as they were, I tried to increase the brightness but it was still dark. The phone functions greatly but the screen is the only problem. I thought maybe the backlight is broken but there's no backlight in AMOLED screens, I been using the phone for a year.
Any suggestions/solutions ? I appreciate it.
Bump.

Just re-flash
I think the Firmware is buckled or that's my suggestion
It would be awesome if you could attach some screenshots?
I had this problem too...
Take the battery out for 10 minutes ensure the phone isn't plugged in... Put the battery back in restart and you'll be good to go...

Hi. I recently used the camera app to take some pictures. After that, I locked my phone. When I tried to unlock it, the screen remains black. I decided remove and put back the battery. After I did that, the phone still does not turn on. I connected the phone to the charger, the LED does not light up. Is my phone bricked? I did not flash/install anything, I was just using the camera app. I hope anyone could reply as soon as possible. Thanks.

Take out the battery and wait at least three hours until you put it in again. Now try again.
If it's still not working, try to get into FASTBOOT (start ith with pressed back and power button) or HBOOT (start with pressed volume down and power button).
Hi. Thanks for your quick reply. I tried to go both into fastboot or recovery but nothing appeared on the screen. What can I do now?

So just to clarify - you can't do anything? No LED when charging? No bootloader or fastboot....
Tell us about your phone, rom - bootloader info (what you can remember) s -on or off?

I mentioned everything in the first post. Responding to your question, no led appeared and when i tried to go into bootloader or fastboot, nothing comes out.
sorry must of missed that... it doesn't sound good - did the phone get hot when it turned off?

Thanks for replying quickly. The phone was'nt even hot before it turned off. At that time i was using the camera app before the phone turned off.
I'm a bit baffled...
Take out sd + sim ... battery back in - does it boot or do anything now?

No. It does not. The screen remains blank. No sound came out.
Ok... how about the taking only the battery out and plugging it into charge... does the LED come on?

No. I did that a few times but the led won't come on.
Sorry but it sounds like a HTC repair is needed... hope you have warranty
Unless anyone else has a suggestion?

Thanks for offering out to help anyway. I'm still shocked on how the camera could corrupt the whole system.
Yea i'm really confused as to why it does absolutely nothing?!
Technology is great.... when it works

camera didn't cause this, same thing happened to me when the phone was just idling. I have also seen cases with problems exactly like this before - you're not the only one. HTC will repair this for you.

it does nothing because it died for one reason or another, like I said before it happened to me and a few others too.

who cares, what are you House? not every mystery can be solved - for one reason or another it died, and considering I've seen a few cases of this I'm guessing it's a factory problem with a small percentage of Desires... perhaps a mainboard problem

I sent my first phone for repair 3 times, after the third I got a new one, then a month later it broke again. Works fine now though.. these things happen.
I had to restore a backup last night and now whenever I remove it from the charger it still thinks that it is charging. Has anyone had this issue or have a way to solve this? Thanks in advance!
EDITED: Problem solved! 2nd battery pull worked. Thanks to jd1001!

Do you have to remove the battery to boot the phone up? Or is it just the battery graphic just shows up as still charging?

Just the battery graphic shows up as still charging. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything at this moment. Just annoying, but I would like to take care of it before it could cause any issues.

Strange dude, you could try a different kernel. I had that issue before but it was when the phone was turned off and charging. The phones used to hang with the charging battery logo and I had to battery pull to turn the phone on again.
Once I switched kernels the problem went away. Hope that helps.

Yeah CM are the business. I am using AOKP which utilizes much of CM's work. Might be worth checking it out. All the best.
Hello,
i have a new htc WILDFIRE S phone and I use CM9 on it..the problem is that recently...i was trying to recalibrate the battery...and my phone had 3% left and i was checking the brightness...when i suddenly by mistake slided the brightness slider to max...the brightness turned to max allrite..but then the phone got shutdown...it didnt start..i plug out the battery and plugged it back in...and it started ok..everything works fine..but the screen is set to be at very low brightness..to be more precise...well it looks like its stuck on DIM mode..you know...the brighntess level that your phone goes before screen time out?
I tried to changed the brightness setting now...and it doesnt work...the brightness slider goes as much as i want..but it doesnt affect the brightness....can anyone help please.......??? I tried wipping it all as well and installing a fresh ROM..still it doesnt work..i cleaned..factory reset/dalvic cache and everything before installling the rom again..
p.s: it looks like to me that because of very battery low..and very high brightness setting hte phone suddenly got in some kind of safe mode..with lowest brightness setting....and now its not getting out of it...i dont knw if its true or wat juz my idea...really need response quick..thanks..
Update: I wipped everything...and tried to do a nandroid restore of the stock rom..still the same prob...... i feel so screwed right now and no one is replying here either..?????????? also i can see a lil bit of flickering..not too prominent..but when i observe close i can see..

I guess you broke your screen. If you flashed the ROM and didn't get to high brightness in any way, most definitely the screen is broken.
Also when we boot our phone, (when the htc screen comes), the brightness is at highest at that animation, can you see the phone on normal brightness then or still it's dimmed?

no...the screen is dim on startup HTC logo as well... u sure its a hardware problem..? i mean it didnt get wet or anything..all that happened is...the battery was low as 3% i was adjusting the brightness...the phone went off and i had to plug battery out and insert back in..till then its dimmed..i thought some kind of power saver settings took place(fingers crossed..)but i guess i am wrong? any buddy got any idea?

me thought the same..... it should be a hardware issue... in addittion no one ever reported like this... so mostly hardware....
Im 100% sure its hardware issue now. The rom settings only take into effect after the boot animation of rom. Before that its all the bootloader and all. The brightness should be high when on htc screen.
Get the phone checked at service center.

ok thanks for the info bro...i juz have some question..is it the screen itself that is the problem? or its the LEDs at the back of screen that is not working? I mean i was searching around forum...and there were posts that suggested that the LEDs back of the screen has it all to do with the brightness of the screen...and as the screen works 100% perfect with 100% responsiveness...is it possible that it is those LEDs? im juz asking because i think changing those LEDs may not cost as much as changing the whole screen? Ofcourse, i will take it to a repair center but juz curious..any idea bro?
Thanks.
Im no expert on this matter but i guess what you are saying may be right. My old phone, which was a nokia worked the same way. I broke the led's which caused the screen to dim out. It was a simple phone without touch so idk how much they both resemble but you can ask any expert if you know of.

Hello guys, I hope some one can help me out here.
Yesterday, after I woke up I noticed my phone has turned off, I turned it on again with no problem, minutes later I tried to check something on it but the screen doesn't turned on, the backlight from the keyboard and the 4 button under the screen still works, I can press any button and it sounds like phone still works, even with the camera button I hear the shutter like the phone take the photo, the system is on while the screen is still off. The only way to see the screen now, is removing the battery and leave the screen on all the time, I notice then that the brightness adjust doesn't work and it got stuck in the last one used (about 40%).
I was at the moment with CM9. I tried with stock rom using Odin, also again with CM9, and CM10.2. Changed kernel in the last two but the problem is still there.
UPDATE: I just tried CM7 and brightness control works, but still has the problem.
Do you have any ideas for this? Thanks in advance.
P.D. Sorry for the bad English.

Hey mates,
My HOX went down in terms of charging yesterday and I charged it for a while(It didn't easily get charged at first)
After working for a couple of hours, my screen goes off, and doesn't come back.
The Capacitive Buttons are working, and random apps can be opened by touching on the screen randomly(like torch apps)
Is is a software problem or a hardware one?
Is it something related to the voltage that handles the Screen?
Any help would be grateful!
