I have a problem with an Xperia Play, the screen goes all 'fuzzy' sort of like a untuned TV. Sort of like this -:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But with different colours in.
This seemed to happen with an upgrade to 2.3.4, but I think that might just be coincedence.
Any else experienced this? Pressing the screen in various places does seem to bring the display back.
I'm thinking this is probably hardware related.

It could be a loose connection to your LCD screen. (Just speculating though)

That what I thought, but tempting as it may be to crack it open, I'm going to to send it back to Sony. They want me to run update service program etc, then arrange collection if it is still broken.
Guess I'll have to re-lock my bootloader before hand
I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

I experience this from time to time since my recent software reset. Didn't happen much in the beginning, but I'm sure it must of been something I installed and uninstalled of a program I tried out. Could be Batti causing the problems, as it seems to have come about when I started using Batti.
There would be junk at the top, as well as almost all hardware buttons don't work. Some soft buttons may work, but don't do much. Blank Menus occur. Start button doesn't work, so I can't get to settings to manually deactivate Manila. Manila may restart on it's own, but no resolution and bugs still occur. Power button doesn't work, so I gotta open the battery case and soft reset.
Does this happen to anyone else (particularly Sprint users)? Are you also using Batti?
Here are pictures and Video

I have, for a very short while, used Batti with no problems at all. Maybe another piece of software you've installed??
If this problem persists, the only way out is to do a hard reset.
Hello!

No way to know for sure without physical inspection.
If I had to guess I'd say the cable connecting the screen may have come loose.

Yeah. Was about to think that cable too. Gotta wait till i get opening kit and report after!
Okay, after disassembling and investigating i found the problem.
When i press this part of the phone with finger(red circle), it starts to flicker and bug like in the video above..
What this cable actually does, and how i could fix it..? Is it connecting to screen? Didnt found good guide to disassemble more so didnt do it.
Do i need to replace whole piece of phone.. (rounded with cyan color)?
without the back cover it works way better than with it.

Should i just order this?

Or hmm. I just check is the cable connected properly. Need to disassemble whole phone. sigh.
Anyone know if buying this would fix broken/non functional capacitive buttons on the captivate glide? Seems like a simple enough fix, i've honestly only worked on fixing computer my whole life and the occasional ps3 as well. cell phones are something I've never attempted so if anyone could lend a hand that'd be great. I'm sure tearing the phone apart i'd be able to figure out where it goes, i just need to know if that's the right part. would make my wife's day if she could use the buttons again! thanks in advance!

I can't comment if that piece will fix your phone or not, however in the meantime for a workaround::

that actually doesn't work on any of the newer stock ROMs that I've tested on. It was also less than helpful because it leaves a 2 pixel opening for pressing the shutter button on the camera. ha. i can get the nav bar enabled in cm10, but without camera my wife won't let me leave it installed. thanks though!
My brother has this widget/icon on his rooted S III and I'm trying to identify it so that I can eliminate it. It will move from screen to screen, and when you touch it it powers the phone off. Anyone have any idea what it is or how to get it off the screen?

This may sound stupid but have you tried long pressing on it and then dragging it into the garbage bin?

I haven't physically seen it or been able to play with it myself, but he said that whenever he touched it that it would power off the machine. And, to be frank, it is one of those cases where the phone has become smarter than the owner, so trying to diagnose this remotely has been a challenge. LOL But I think my nephew figured it out as some kind of power app that he'd installed.
What is happening to my phone!? I dont even know how to search for this. The LCD still works fine. Touch works fine. Its almost like something is separating internally causing a contrast difference in this odd, blotchy pattern among the pixels. A white screen shows the issue the best. Less back light makes it harder to detect. It was just slightly noticeable in the upper corner 24 hours ago.... now its 20 times worse! I got this phone from Verizon the day it came out. It is unlocked using Sunshine and running Viper10 and has been since I got it unlocked. Cant imagine that has anything to do with this though...
Has anyone else ever seen this or know what it is or what causes it??? I am at a loss here.

Wow, not one response in almost 2 weeks... Has no one ever seen this before on any device!?
As strange as this was, whats even stranger is that the phone has healed itself! The screen is now 100% back to normal. I have no ideas what happened, but ill take it!
That's awkward
