htc desire screen problem

hello. i have bought a desire few days ago. yesterday i notice a problem. i have search the internet but havent find anything similar.
when i press the power button to turn of the screen after i press it again to turn on my screen sometimes the screen turns green and i cant do anything.
this thing doesnt happens all the time. but is preaty annoying and i have to remove the battery.
does anybody have an idea what is the problem

I think it's a hardware failure. Best way is to contact HTC Support.

i am not sure if ita hardware problem. because i notice that moso of the time that this happens is when i lock my screen when an application is open.

I don't think you'll find that's an unusual thing to do! I do it all the time, and have never experienced the problem.
As has already been mentioned, chances are it is a problem with you particular device - especially since you haven't had it for long. However, it could be an app causing the problem, so I'd suggest a factory reset in the first place and see how it performs in a more "vanilla" state.
If it behaves itself, start adding your apps back in again, and hopefully you'll find one causing the problem.
Regards,
Dave

i have already did a factory reset a nothing change. i thing the problem is with the lock screen after i press the power button.. i install no lock now on my phone that disable the lock screen and seems to work ok now.
one thing i forgot to mention is that the problem apear after i did a factory reset.

if this was a hardware problem shouldn't be happening all the time?
i just send an email to htc and inform them with my problem.

Turn it round the other way - if it was a software problem, it would be happening to everyone using the same ROM as you.

yes i know that. but since i disable the lock screen. the problem dissapear.

Today I took my phone to the shop I bought it and after half an hour of trying to show to the guy there what's was the problem. He gave me a replacement.

Hello everybody, i'm fresh new.
Also on my htc desire I have this problem, if you are able to use the device, without see the screen content, you can also shut down the phone. I say shut down because the problem disappear if you stop the phone (or leave the battery) for some minute. it's like all the meroy needs to be lost.
I had this problems some months ago, I unistalled one-by-one the apps, and it worked, now I have installed (during the last 5 months) other apps, and from 3days ago it restarted with this problem.

Do the same procedure like before: uninstall apps until problem disappears.

I am doing but I'm not sure it's the best solution.
I think it is related to some apps, some software problem, but I removed almost all my apps.

I noticed also that if I press the lock/unlock button for some secs, the problem there isn't. But it happen again (most of the time) when I put the device on charge, without turn it off, then when it finished it's a little bit hot and the display doesn't work.
I think it's a problem of the lock button, not software.

what is the name of this app?

I think is a problem related to the memory of the phone. Because I don't have new apps on my Desire.
If I move all my apps on the SD Card, it never (almost) happen...but if some Widget, on the phone, starts in background..
when I push the bottom at the top...the display doesn't switch on.

screen problem
Hi just wondered if anyone else has had this problem bought a desire a few days ago seemed to work fine but it has begun to act a little strange from time to time. from time to time the touch screen will not work just locks up, also the screen goes crazy flipping from one screen to the next, came with android 2.2 but upgraded it to android 2.3 from the HTC official site using HTC sync thought this may stop it, it does not happen as often now but still does it have to turn the phone off then back on again for it to work, anyone got any ideas on this and how I may cure it Thanks for your time.

[Q] Lock screen keeps re-appearing!

Hi all
My lock screen is going crazy. Every time I lock the phone, and the screen goes off, it immediately comes back on again - just like I've pressed the power button. It's very odd. The phone actually reboots if I press the power button a couple of times.
Any suggestions? I've even reinstalled the rom bit it's still happening.
I've checked the timeout and it's set to 30 seconds. Also there are no apps running and no animated wallpaper. There is no issue with the power button - the phone works fine apart from this.
I'm running CM7 on my HTC Desire. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jonny

Do a backup then wipe. Still happens?

Yes still happens. ALso installed a new rom from scratch. Still happens!
Very bizarre. Incidentally my down-volume button on the rocker no longer works. And reboots are more frequent, mostly when the phone has been locked for a few seconds and I press the power button...
I've screwed about with it a lot over the year so I think I'd like to unroot and install stock HTC rom again. I'd like to give it to my Dad when I get my galaxy nexus anyway.
Are there any instructions/steps available detailing how to unroot and put back to the factory rom?
Thanks again for all your help.
Jonny

I dont think that will fix it. Sounds like a hardware issue on the motherboard. Perhaps water damage...
But yes, search for RUU to return to stock. You can use the GB 2.3.3 one from HTCDev.com

Having read your first post I thought it was the accelometer that might be faulty, but now I'm not sure. As the previous user said it may be water damage.
To remove root, just install the latest official RUU. Normally found in the Android Dev Forums

My HTC Desire freezes after reboot!!!

Hello guys,
I was just checking the phone while suddenly after locking and unlocking with the power button it didnt react. It was all freezed and didn't react at anything. I took off the battery and placed it on, turn up the phone but it stopped at the unlocking mode with no wallpaper at all. Did the same thing 4 times with no results. Then tried connecting to the PC, but with no results too. Btw the network is ok, shows the incoming calls!
P.S. The battery was very hot, and the battery app notification was showing fast reduction of the battery level...
Help guys! Thanks!

What are the pros and cons of the rooting process?

You can do much more with your desire ^^
pro is that you will never have space problems apps can be moved to sd card much better than with the froyo app2sd and you are up to date with your android version 2.2.3 Gingerbread is working very nice und 4.0 ics is in dev... full control of your phone complete backup of your working rom and all apps with data. If your rom crashes youst restore it to the time it works
cons some roms have some bugs like no working gps but with scripts you can fix it by yourself.
you got no warrantee if it crahses. so much that you cant move it back to stock.
usb brick is also possible but with the 4ext recovery and the great community of XDA you can repair it
for me the space problem, the costum look and the full control on my phone are the reasons to root my phone
now its your turn to root or root not

Is HTC warranty affected by installing ROMs, CWM etc?

I installed Tigger's excellent WildChild ROM a couple of weeks ago using CWM. My phone is S-ON, so I unlocked the bootloader by downloading the file from HTC's site.
Now with typical timing my phone appears to have developed an unrelated problem with the touchscreen - after a short while of use, it starts glitching up and the touchscreen goes all screwy, acting as if I'm pressing in places I'm not pressing and stuff like that. I can unglitch it by pressing the power button off then on again, but it's really annoying and makes the phone nearly unusable.
So I'm thinking I'll need to return the phone to HTC - will my warranty be affected because I've unlocked the bootloader? Can I remove stuff like CWM and the modded ROM so when (if) I return it, they won't say I've invalidated the warranty?
Thanks a lot for any help.

No....they already know that you unlocked the bootloader since you did it via HTCdev.....
And PLEASE!!!! THERE IS A Q AND A SECTION HERE!! POST QUESTIONS THERE

Thanks for the suggestion, I actually use several different chargers anyway and it doesn't seem to affect it. I've reset the phone to factory setting and cleared the Dalvic cache several times. Unfortunately problem still exists.
If you've ever tried to use your phone in the rain, the problem is very much like that. I really wish there was a way to fix it, but it looks like I'm going to have to send it back, and hopefully HTC won't complain that I've installed modded ROMs etc.

When I have had that issue when I turn of the screen and look at it at an angle there's usually a little non-glossy spot or two that you can slightly feel.cleaning them off usually fixes it .happens a lot after eating greasy foods. May our Mary not help but better then having to replace it

[Q] Screen Flickering - Please advice How to Fix

Hi Friends,
After using this phone for 3-4 months, the screen has started flickering frequently. Earlier the phone used to get heated a lot when I do multiple task simultaneously but recently the screen is flickering rapidly - seems like the screen is dancing with some random screen selection happening arbitrarily, and at that point I simply can’t do anything on the screen. Only the power button seems to be working and need to lock the phone for appx. 10mis which solves the problem temporarily. Usually it happens whenever the phone gets heated up (guess only). As I’m still covered under warranty, I can carry the phone to the nearest service center but I’m scared just in case I can’t reproduce it there. I’ve checked setting like un-checking the option ‘Strict Mode Enabled’ in developer setting and resetting the phone but it does not help me (also searched this forum but can’t find any). Can anyone have any idea or suggestion to solve this. Please please help.
Thanks in advance.

thanks dude for your help but the ‘Strict Mode Enabled' is already disabled, Is there any app like Chrome or something which is causing this problem?? I'm scared just in case I cant reproduce it in the service center, as this behavior is quite random in nature.

As you've mentioned chrome. Try uninstalling it as i have had flickering problems with chrome installed

no uncheck all the boxes, all the boxes, which ROM?

I've just uninstalled the Chrome, just to check if it was causing this problem at all, would let you know guys after using some time.
BTW I'm currently on the stock Indian ROM (v2.24.720.1, boot-loader locked, no root), also I've every option un-checked (except Animation) under Setting --> Developer Options. Any other option to try dudes, it is just irritating to use this phone now

Still no luck. Reset my HTC One V, also un-installed Chrome, still the problem still persists, planning to visit service center this weekend, hopefully I'd be able to show them the actual problem.
