[Q] Screen Issue (a small circle) - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

img843.imageshack.us/img843/9871/plama1.jpg
About 1 week ago I noticed I have a dark circle on the left side of the screen. I don't know what to do, should I just send it back on warranty? Or it might be something wrong with my new MIUI?

Don't be a noob and post that picture somewhere where you don't have to register.
2. It definitely won't be a software problem.

Edited, additionaly I saw people with SGS2 having same problem with such circle.

Strange... Which MIUI? I am using MIUI XJ (the latest) and do not have that circle.

I am using 1.11.11 but I don't think that this is about a software.. I haven't see this circle before or I don't remember it but really I don't think that this is about a software

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Is there anyone else with such problem?

I saw something like this before, you just must've pressed on your screen too hard, or had a coin in your pocket with the phone and sat on it, something like that.. basically it's your screen that's damaged, and don't know whether HTC would cover it or not.

Desire's Screen Dying?

Hi,
Have any of you seen this/heard of this issue. The bottom right corner of my Desire's screen has an outgoing circle, it looks like its fading out and then the rest of the affected area turns into pink.
Hard to put into words, but I will try to get a picture when I can lol.
Thanks.
No, I do not notice any issue like that.
Which rom / hboot are you currently running?
SwiftKeyed from dGB with Transparent XDA App
I'm on the Cyanogenmod nightlies.
Alpharev CM7 R2
HBOOT 6.93.1002
I recommend to change rom. If issue still there, go back to stock. If issue still appears, call HTC.
SwiftKeyed from dGB with Transparent XDA App
Its definitely nothing to do with the ROM as I have been on this ROM for months now, I am certain its a physical issue with the AMOLED Display.
If you are so sure what it is, why the hell are you asking here?
To see if anyone has encountered it before and too see if they have replaced the display themselves.

Don't worry about the screen , Desire is also dying.

Some people can really turn into tw*ts behind a computer screen.
Simple I was checking if someone had encountered/seen the issue and maybe resolved it themselves without having to send the phone out for repairs.. is that so hard to comprehend?
I wasn't been condescending or anything like that, I appreciate the help and all.

SOLVED! - Camera not working, tried several roms with no joy

First of all my appologies if this is in the wrong section...... As I don't have enough posts I can't ask the Dev's directly or even post in their threads....
I have a rooted and S-off unbranded htc desire. I flashed the LeeDroid HD port and everything was cool. Since then Ive gone on to Revolution 3D v1.5 again no problems at all.
The issue is with the camera, it wont work at all. this happened when i flashed Revolution v3 xmas edition. To be fair to Tamirda he's got a link labelled "camera fix" i flashed this and still no camera
Thinking this has got something to do with the kernel (as that was the only difference I could see after installing the camera fix) I've tried various other kernels but still no joy.
Since then I have tried re-flashing ALL of the Revolution roms (completing a full wipe incl sd/ext, dalvik etc) all work great but I still have no camera, Ive flashed RCMixS v2.0, still no camera and I've just this minute completed a FULL wipe and Nandroid restore that I created on the 26/12/2011, the day after flashing for the first time (LeeDroid HD port) when all was good, but STILL no camera
Any help or suggestions or even just a nod in the right direction would be MASSIVELY apreiciated as Ive been trying to solve this now for a few weeks
I've now re-flashed RCMixS v2.0 and I still cant use the camera.......
Heres all my phones current info:
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC sense version: 2.1

Thanks again in advance, Tom.
Just to clarify.... when the camera/camcorder icons are pressed, sometimes the screen blacks out and the only response you get is by pressing the 'home' key exiting the application while other times the white camera logo comes onto the center of the screen but instantly disaperes and closes the app.
Ive also tried non htc camera apps purchesed from the market like 'pro capture' this took ONE photo and never worked again, when you try to use it it simply says 'cannot access camera'. I also have tried all other ways to access the camera like attach photo to mms and choosing camera instead of gallery and it still doesnt work.....
Don't know the answer, sorry
Please can you make the thread title more specific? "no camera since xxxxx"

Hi, thanks for the 'heads up' .. Ive changed the title to better suit the thread. I'm sure I'm over looking something, just can't think of anything else to try....
This is odd. To me, this seems to be some sort of a hardware issue. If i were you, i'd flash a stock 2.2 RUU and see if that fixes the camera issue. If it doesn't, then i'm afraid it's off to a repair center for you, my friend.
Three things:
- Maybe the recovery didn't properly wipe the partitions (happens sometimes) and some system files got fubared. Try wiping each partition 2-3 times before installing ROM/back-up and see if that fixes it;
- Open the back cover and GENTLY nudge the camera's "lens" with a cotton swab (the ones used for cleaning your ears). Maybe it's stuck (it should "float" - for focusing reasons) and the camera is reporting some sort of an error because of that and refuses to work;
- Please post a dmesg for the camera, if possible.
Mind you, you're not the only one with this issue. Check out this thread.
Ok cool, thankyou that gives me something to work with
Yeah Ive read some posts where people are saying that roms which use sense hybrids can cause this issue but none that Ive read seem to go much further than that. Tbh Im hoping it is jus a case of a bad wipe/install thats been made worse by several re flash / full wipe attempts....... Fingers crossed eh!
Will check out the link before I go any further and will post what happens next.
Thanks again, Tom
Ok, not great news but I know whats wrong with it....... Big thanks to TVTV for the link as thats where I found the answer.
Its a hardware problem having being dropped on its face a couple of times (DOH!) the floating lense doesnt float any more causing the ap to force close or sometimes stay on black screen. Gently tapping on the lense brought it back to life, briefly, but that'll be because its damaged and not software....... so yeah off to the shops I go
Thanks again TVTV
You're welcome!
Just a quick note...
Anybody who has this issue, with the same symptoms, can temporarily get there camera working again.
Take the battery cover off and have a look at the camera lense, you will see that there is a small , square piece of glass sitting on a slightly larger metal square frame. You need to GENTLY ease that metal frame away from the phone. On my handset the frame is joined at the top right corner, I used this join to hook the corner of my thumb nail under and lift it up by a FRACTION OF A MILIMETER MAX!
A good way to see if this is working is to start by pressing the camera icon untill it blacks out the screen, if you get somebody to watch the screen, or use a mirror, you will see the screen come back to life showing you all the on screen camera options and the image of what ever the camera is looking at as you GENTLY and ONLY SLIGHTLY pry the frame away from the phone.
It took me a night of fiddling with it using this method and so far I've been able to use my camera without faults..... Good job really as for now this has saved me a trip to the HTC service center, with no warranty
Before you try this though you MUST be incredibly carefull whilst moving this frame that holds the lense. You must NOT attempt to do this by touching the lense itself (small square shapped piece of glass) as this will more than likely break it, then its off to HTC which will cost a fortune if like me you've allready voided your warranty so BE CAREFULL!!
Hope this helps
Solved here also
Hi everybody,
I know this is old discussion, but I just wanted to confirm that I had a same problem with camera and flashlight not working, and with a half of hour dismantling I realized it was problem with the cable connection.
Gentle push, and everything is fine again!
Thanks for advice!
Hold the off button then press reset it worked on my HTC desire

i said: mine goes in real time. so, no, it is not normal.
yes but maybe in your phone work right because the rom you use, im asking in stock rom if anyone have the same issue..

YES! This is a known bug and normal. It is know as Live Wallpaper bug, it does happen in SENSE Roms, specially using SENSE launcher.
I never use live wallpaper anyway, so I don't care, but it is anoying for those who use it.
For those who says, no it's not normal, using a Custom ROM, it doesn't help the OP.

[Q] Using Roms 4.1.2 - codefireX & JellyTime : stripes on display issue

Hi everybody,
I have an annoying problem using roms based on Android 4.1.2 . I've tried codefireX and Jellytime. The same behavior has been noticed on both roms : there are main vertical thin stripes on the screen, falling from top to bottom, as if pixels were streaming. Most of stripes are visible on left and right parts of the screen, almost not in the middle. When I take a screenshot, problem is absolutely invisible. It can only be viewed on the touch screen directly.
When I tap on the sides of the phone, I have the impression that the stripes are lightly blinking or sparkling.
When I rotate the phone, stripes are not rotating. They still are going from the true top of the phone to the bottom.
And finaly, when I reinstall another rom, based on Android 4.0.4 (with or without Sense, suchas IceColdSandwich or ViperDHD), the stripes disappear.
Does anyone know anything about that ? or even heared something like that ?
Thanx a lot in advance,
Tom.
(sorry for my poor english )

Yes i have noticed that too. It seems to be a kernel issue not compatible with the phone. Forinstance if you flash lets say any 3.0.xx kernel onto icecoldICS rom you will get the lines just as in JB rom. Read that someone is trying to fix it so just keep your fingers x:crying:

Hello,
thanks for your answer.
If it could be a kernel issue, why am I feeling so alone ?

You are not alone. In JellyTime's issue tracker there is an open issue. Until now nothing changed. And with the new 4.2 release I wonder if JellyTime will get any stable updates in the near future. But that's the only place I found where the bug is reported. Is there an official codefireX bugtracker?

Even with HW overlays of u will still get the line. Even 4.2 has vertical lines bug! As said before its a bug which was introduced aftre 3.1 realise thus after 16th August. If u flash an older rom lets say rom builds before the 16th of August the bug is not present. I strongly doubt if the bug will b fixed cause it seems to afect only a few users and am one of them. I wander why RB pr synergy dont want to fix it
I know synergye was working on it and asking for logcats. I don't think he doesn't want to fix it. He might just not know how, since his device doesn't have the bug, and needs more info (like logcats).

How do i produce the logcats and where fo i post them? And if am correct there should be a logcat about this on issues tracker. Its sad that we aren't able to enjoy these good roms cause of this bug. Really wish someone looks at it soon

Original JB 4.1 and HOX green pictures?

Hey all,
i have a little problem since the world wide update for 4.1 JB - when i take pictures the flash causes the picture to become green! i know its a problem with Custom roms but mine is an original update from the server. the pictures looks like it was taken at the Matrix..haha
well its nice for effects but for real its annoying...how do i get rid of it??
BTW uploaded a pic when i tried to snap shot the cover for a friend of mine
thank you!
Another one confirming same problem as i have, and i have seen people with HOX+ also having this.
Problem seemse to be KERNEL related. ICS works great on my phone with flash but when i load any version of JB Sense i get greenish images like yours.
This is a REAL PROBLEM but apperantly no-one is noticing it besides me and some isolated users. Either people dont notice ( how can you not?) or they dont use flash that often.
I realy hope the .27 build fixes this. If i get official JB and this problem persists i realy hope HTC gets around fixing this.
Btw. this seems to be a problem with handsets all the time, small problems but still something in particular HTC have a issue with.
I can confirm this is NOT a HARDWARE issue, changing kernels fixes it so it has to do with post processing - a B/W image looks just right but with the green boosted up way to much.
Try change sarturation to max/min aswell as iso 100/800.
tnx for your answer!
its obviously not HARDWARE problem, because the regular pics goes perfect!
i tried it all - non worked its still the same...
i guess ill be waiting for a new update to come or maybe go rogue and install an unofficial ROM...
the same Something with software.
thats not fun \=
well i have posted a new question for help on HTC main Facebook page, and showed them this thread i hope we all get final answers for that itchy bug :cyclops:
Same problem
I have the same problem with stock JB...
It's software and to do with the flash bleeding, on SLR you get a florescent filter but try this.
Go take picture again this time press the cog and go to white balance, change that from auto to florescent.
Let me know if that works, I can't get mine to do it to test.
