[Q] Help: Did I brick my Incredible?

So i rooted my incredible and tried to install a theme from the ROM manager i think it was called and when it went to reboot it just went to a black screen with a white stripe down each side and now i cant get passed that point even if i hit factory restore in the s-off menu thing. i am very new to this stuff so i am an idiot for just jumping in but if anyone has any ideas on what i could do it would be much appreciated. HTC Incredible on 2.2 rooted.
thanks

Turn your phone off then back on normally. I think someone mentioned once that this happens with newer DINCs i may be wrong but i believe that may help

SLCD bug strikes again!

ok so i tried just turning it on normally and it goes to the HTC incredible screen and then it turned off again and turned back on by itself and after the HTC incredible screen for a second time it just goes back to the black screen with the two stripes down the sides again

The newer Incredibles have an SLCD screen, the originals have AMOLED screens. From what I understand, they use different display/touch drivers. Not really a "bug" but I'm sure it bugs a lot of people... Did you just recently get it?

Have the same problem **sorta**
Ok new incredible as of the last friday. Unrevoked 3 worked until it hit the rom selection. Rebooted into recovery & thats where I get the black screen with the 2 lines & cant select anything. Pulling the battery will reset it and I'm able to boot but I still cant get the ROM to install.
Any suggestions

Search is your friend. You have a SLCD screen. Since your phone has different hardware, it requires compatible software.

PM'd cause i cant post links cause im still a noob

If you haven't fixed it yet you can search in the Q&A section for black screen and get instructions for a complete restore to the day you got it. The SLCD thing got me too.

This is exactly my problem...then I reflashed with pb31img. Now all it does is turn the charge light on...
How did you get it fixed.
I don't know if my phone is slcd or amoled....almost sure its AMOLED

the way i fixed it is on this thread......http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...t-after-incredible-boot-screen.html#post56442

When I press home my apps dissapear for a while

This happens a lot. Is this normal? If so is it a ram issue with the phone? And is there anyway to improve that?
I haven't got around to permanently rooting my phone I have the stock OTA but if it can fix this somehow I will definitely do it. Thanks in advance

You mean when you press home your homescreen reloads and apps reappear in a few seconds? Seems normal as of now. Running CM6.1.0RC1 still happens. Haven't found anything to really fix this.

Root and overclock problem solved. Zoom zoom
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Same here, when I overclock more than 1 g that problem seems to go away.

I used to have the same problem with the good old G1. Back then I thought it was because if not enough memory. Enabling "lock screen in memory" in launcherPro or AWD solved the problem. If you are not using them, run to the market and download one if them. No root needed
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Yea I press the home button and my apps are invisible I guess and it last like 5 to 10 seconds and it happens a lot like every other time I press home.
Well in that case ill try to get around to rooting it.
launcherpro seemed to fix the problem so far thanks.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

I'm overclocked at 1.1 and still always experience this problem. Also locked home app in memory in CM settings as well as enabled system persistent and still no fix for me. It's not bad, homescreen always came back. On my myTouch when this happened they'd sometimes just stay gone.

My myTouch stopped as soon as I enabled system persistent and enabled compcache.

Setting my mhz to the lowest number in the screen off setcpu profile seemed to take care of that problem for me, but it only happend to me when I was overclock to 1400+ and only when i unlocked the screen.

Bud the rosie and your widgets are all connected through sense so if you messed up your rosie your best bet is to flash and start over or restore a nandroid that you made b4 it happened

Whatever you flashed messed up sense on your Rom which will eventually cause you problems

there was no FC. i had my phone on and it was working perfectly, the battery went down to 1% then died and an hour later when i connected it to charge and turned it on it was just all gone. it was just my wallpaper, the app drawer,phone,and shortcut buttons on the bottom. and widgets had disappeared. i dont see what i could have done to cause it.

oh i just adb pushed the rosie.apk from the skyraider rom and it was fine. i had rebooted twice after i did that too so i dont think it was that. and sorry i thought you were talking about the more recent problem.

Well that first problem is the cause of your new problem you probably want get those widgets back unless you reflash.... sense is weird everything runs of of each other and the launcher is a big part of it

Root, now sense clock doesn't work

Noticed that after I rooted, my clock no longer comes up if I tap on it from the home screen. The sense clock/weather widget. Is there a way to fix this.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk

I had this issue before rooting. My phone started uninstalling different apps. I just did factory resets to get them back, but now that you are rooted, look in the android development section and find a rom you like and flash it.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk

here's the .apk for the deskclock from my old eris....i had the same problem so i just pulled this one from my old phone and pushed it to my Dinc2 using adb. the picture button doesnt work but the alarm, music and home do.

I noticed this last night after initially flashing a custom ROM.
Have you used a program like Titanium BAckup? If so, I would check that to see if any programs are 'frozen'. My clock was, so I thawed it and the widget works perfectly.

Delete, duplicate post... opps

If you have Titanium Backup, check the clock app, more than likely, it will need to be "Defrosted". That should get you back up and running
Edit... Didn't notice the above post

Ha, thanks guys. It was frozen in Titanium. Why was it frozen in the first place?
thanks again.

Not sure why it's frozen... My clock quit before I rooted, but after rooting and installing Titanium I took a look and it was frozen (I had heard about the unfreezing method from another post, and sure enough, it worked). My news was also frozen as well, crazy

Yep, fixed mine too

[Q] Where did my lockscreen go?!

When I was using my phone today, I noticed that a long press on the power button was shutting down the phone instead of bringing up the menu. Then, I realized that I had also lost my lock screen, which I really hadn't noticed because I don't use the pattern lock. Turns out, even if I enabled the pattern lock, password, or PIN, using the power button still took the phone straight into the home screen.
I don't know if it was an bug in a random app, malware, or what... I spent a lot of time searching for an answer on what might have caused it, but didn't find anything really helpful. I started deleting all my recent apps, but couldn't get the lock screen back, so I ended up restoring the phone to factory settings and starting from scratch.
The only reason I'm posting about it is that I'm not entirely sure what caused it... I'm debating the possibility that it could it could be a touchwiz bug. Anyone else ever run into this?

Yes, its a known bug. I just ran into the bug today and I refuse to do a factory reset to fix the issue since its just gonna happen again. Samsung should be able to fix it with a simple software update.

No, so far the only way known to temporarily fix the issue is to do a master reset.

Ah, that would explain it... I was tearing out my hair trying to figure out what I had done. Funny thing is, I don't even *like* having a lock screen. I was just bothered by the fact something was wrong...
How did you find out that it's a known bug? I must have been phrasing my search poorly, because I couldn't find squat about the issue.
Still, whether I like the screen lock or not, I think this is a pretty decent security bug, considering it removes the ability to lock the phone...

I know because I seen it under "list of known issues". If you scroll down a few post you'll find it. The downside to not having a lockscreen is that if you receive a text message your phone will automatically unlock and you may accidentally dial someone if the phone is in your pocket.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH THE LOCKSCREEN ISSUE I ADVISE USING A 3RD PARTY LOCKSCREEN. I AM CURRENTLY USING "AGILE LOCKSCREEN" (WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN THE ANDROID MARKET). I AM USING THE PRO VERSION, BUT THE FREE ONE WILL DO THE JOB ALSO.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Mine's gone too.... Now that we have root I've a nandroid backup which I believe still had the lockscreen and will try restoring from that. If that doesn't work then I guess I'll do a master reset and restore from Titanium Backup. Hopefully Clockwork Recovery will survive the master reset...

I thought that was just me yesterday so I did a master reset

I was thinking the complete opposite. I installed ripple lock and that's when i started having the problem. Uninstalling didn't help. As soon as i uninstalled and a factory reset, haven't had any issues since.

No, its definitely a software bug. I don't advise doing a master reset because the issue will continue to happen.

For people having issues of making calls/etc. when the screen unlocks:
Just put the phone in your pocket with the screen facing AWAY from your body.

I had this happen immediately after using the *#0*# test screen, I'm blaming that
