Greetings, Interwebs !
2 days ago I sat in a subway and had my Xperia Play R800i Unlocked Bootloader w/ TrueAncestor in my pocket. Till then it worked perfectly fine. Some time later I took it out to check the time and looked at a screen filled with random pixels of different colors. I took out the battery, put it back in and booted. As soon as the kernel`s bootlogo would normally show up, I got the same distorted screen. But the phone boots. It vibrates and the LED flashes as usual. Note that I didn`t change anything software wise before it bricked.
So when I got home I took out the battery again and went to sleep. The next day I put it back in and got the distortion where the kernel logo should have been again. But then it showed the ROMS` bootlogo and booted normally. The only thing strange was that the screen would flicker and have random glitches on everything thats rendered by the CPU. Every game worked just fine. But the random glitches also would vary in strenght and quantity. Eventually I would get none for about half an hour.
So today I flashed AOKP and again, I can`t even see the bootlogo.
Am I right in the assumption that some hardware is broken ?

Hello Guys
Till last week I was a happy user of HTC One X.
I had it rooted and installed and played around with few custom ROMS.
Then I started having issues mainly with the screen.
If it turns off (after a minute or so) then I could not make the phone wake up.
If I leave the phone ON (dont sleep) then I would have no pb...
I formatted , and reinstalled the RUU original of the device..and still the same problem
Now its gotten worse that sometime rebooting the device (while the screen is black !) doesnt work all the times (since I dont know what I am doing.. the screen is all black and the capacitive buttons are flashing...and turning on and off...)
then when i succeed into turning it on , then I have distorted screen (big time distortion) or sometimes I get a screen like a TV with no signal..
Please help me what to do...
I got it as second hand phone and it has no waranty...
Thanks.

A couple of days ago i received a new G2.
As soon as i rooted it i installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605016
Everything completed and the phone would operate normally. I let it fully charge during the night. Next morning i installed some apps from the market (skype fb and a weather widget), then i let it charge again for 20 minutes or so. When i got back to see if it charge, the screen was dimmed like in power saving mode, it wouldn't go back no matter what and the phone hanged there.
I got the battery out and upon rebooting the screen was still dimmed.
I got back to 2.3.3 stock which i had backed up to SD from clockwork, but the problem continued.
I contacted the seller and said they would ship a new one as soon as i sent them the shipping back notice. The thing is i don't want to wait half a month or even more to get the new phone.
I've attached a video of the problem.
I played with the brightness levels on 4.2, you will notice that if i put it on 100% the screen goes completely black.
Also when i put it in standby with the power button and push it again the screen starts flickering for some seconds before it gets stabilized again.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Are you using automatic backlight?

Sounds to me like it is really a hardware issue... while it's understandable that you don't want to wait for a new phone to arrive, it is better than ending up with a dead backlight...
It really was a hardware issue, took another one back after a month and it works great.
Thanks for your help guys
Hi today as usual i was playing with my phone ,battery under 15% appeared.
It was on 12% and i recharge it
After about 2 hour i came back to unplug the charger. I saw the phone is off and it did not turn on !
I take out the battery and Turn it on
But when i turned it on the screen did not showing the colors correctly it was like when you change the color depth in windows from 32bit to 256colors
And a big problem with black colors
Actually the black colors were shown in red And the at&t boot logo signs was remained in screen.
I dont know what happened and the charge level was in 60%
After about 10min the screen became better from top sides but i could feel the att logo in screen
And after 20min it was clear and every thing was ok .
It was frightening and i thought that it damaged.
did anyone had the same problem before?
What happened to this phone !?
I did restart it many time and recharge it. My nitro seems to work fine.
Is the screen damaged ?

I'm having the same issue and having a really hard time finding any info on it. After booting it looks "ok".. but during boot it looks as this person described it: windows in 256 colour mode.. Very strange. My phone drained down to 0% today during work, and I just tried plugging it in and turning it on.
Hopefully this goes away. Running CM10.1 RC5 with Wind 2.3 and I have flashed the new adreno drivers and changed max layers to 2 in build.prop to make camera buttons display properly.
i switched back to modded ics stock after cm10.1 had 3-4 nightlies that didn't even boot and all kinds of bugs in the last 3 weeks, i'm waiting for a stable release to come out before i switch back, i recommend switching back to stock while they deal with recent issues, that's just my opinion tho. u guys could try backing up ur cm10.1 and flashing a stock rom to see if the problem is fixed, even if u decide to switch back to cm after, it's worth a shot.
if flashing a cwm flashable stock modded rom fixes the issue you might want to consider doing a full wipe and going back to rc2 or nightly 19th-22nd of may before the issues started
Hello, i faced a serious problem this evening, just after i finished a call phone, the screen of the phone went Blue and then it went off, i started to put it on again and then it showed the screen with LG and then it went black no boot at all. i removed the battery and i tried again and still the same, so i tried to remove the battery and put it again and plug it with the computer, it went on with charging battery and then suddenly went to blue screen again.
So i tried to put the recovery mode with power down and on/off and it worked i got the recovery mode screen with factory reset but it was only with factory reset, i tried it and then i put yes and it reboot and then after LG screen, it went black again....
so i tried to put download mode with usb cable but it wont, always i got the blue screen. what should i do, where is the problem exactly for people who had the same problem ? the batterye ? the motherboard ?
anyone to help ? i changed the battery and it wasnt coming from it, and the phone showed others anormalies like sometimes u can charge the battery and you see the % and sometimes it goes blue screen and shut down. anyone had the same issue before ?
My LG G3 randomly started giving this problem for 3-4 days till it went completely bad. It just wouldn't get past the Blue Screen. Since I had to take a backup before taking any further action, I have been able to get it up and running for very short durations by keeping the cell phone in the freezer for an hour or so. Yes. I am not kidding. After it freezes, I can get it up on about 5th or 6th attempt. Sometimes even more. Be mindful that the battery is now showing a red humidity marker due to the freezer.
I am thinking of asking LG to repair it. What a piece of crap. Its only 18 months old for me.
There are similar threads but I think my problem is different from the others.
In the morning everything was fine for about an hour but once I left the house my phone froze out of nowhere. In the beginning It was still able to reboot into Android but always crashed shortly after and right now it's looping. I can still get into fastboot but recovery mode doesn't work, I just get back into the bootloop, probably because the phone crashes before it enters recovery mode (first google logo shows, then it crashes).
Sometimes when it crashes it produces really weird artifacts, which can cover most of the screen or are only a few pixels large, in different colors.
I found this guide which might help but I can't get into Recovery Mode anyway.
I read about the contacts getting lose, still gotta figure out if certain scenarios will allow it to boot.
Software is stock Android, on the latest update the Pixel XL received.
Update1: So after about 7 hours it finally booted to Android again, after taking of the case (cheap plastic one). And it does so consistently for some reason but sadly still crashes after a few minutes. Maybe it's heat related, the phone always got warm more easily with the case on.
I also just noticed that the phone restarts on it's own after crashing (and for some reason activates the night light) which could mean that it's trying to protect itself from damage.
Update2: Seems to be temperature related. I put it on a cold ice cube tray and since then it didn't turn itself off.
Considering the fact it restarts on it's own there could be some error logs, how could I retrieve those?
Update3: Higher tendency to boot when battery is low.

Maybe replace battery?
Hi there! I am not sure if your problem was fixed yet. But my Pixel XL died yesterday and did the same exact thing. It went into an infinire boot-loop, and after trying many times to power off and reboot, some weird artifacts appeared.
I think I messed up the phone, because at first the phone booted and then restarted, but now it just restarts and never ends....
EDIT: After some hours of rebooting, and more artifacts, the Pixel finally booted on android. Battery was at 4% so I guess that helped. It keeps rebooting from time to time, but at least I can copy my photos now haha.
