HELP!! Artemis blank white screen and not responding :(

ok everyone my first post here and I am not very familiar with the technincal stuff so please explain the fix properly (if their is any)
I have the o2 xda orbit and I never tried to modify it (change firmware, rom etc) or upgrade to WM6. Everything is original the way that it came. I have been using the orbit for about 6 months now and I had bought it off ebay.
Just yesterday I was chargin the orbit through the usb cable and I removed it since i had to go out and i just put it in my jeans pocket and after 5 min when i took it out there was a blank white screen. I took the battery out overnight and turned it on in the morning but still the same thing happens. The images below show exactly what shows up on my screen
I dont know what to do The minute i turn it on that is the only screen i see. No windows logo nothing. I removed the sim card and memory card. But still no luck. Can i change it through warranty eventhough I live in Canada? ANy help is appreciated!! I would be glad to give more information to you if I can.
If you know of any other forums where i can get better help, please let me know.

Switch it on but hold in the voice record button when you do it, do you get a Red/Green/Blue screen?

Maybe, it saw a ghost?

nope same blank white screen with a line in the middle.

Looks like a serious hardware death there. Did you buy it off an ebay shop or private? If from a shop you may be able to make a warranty claim, if not you'd have to post it to a repair centre and cross your fingers.
I am presuming here that you have tried a Hard Reset too, ie holding down both softkeys whilst resetting, then releasing the softkeys when you get a confirmation message.

if i press the reset button nothing happens. Orbit only responds to the power button. I bought it off ebay and hence the problem. Do you think it is only a screen malfunction and if i buy a replacement screen I should be able to solve the problem? is it easy to replace the screen by myself?

I DONT KNOW IF IT'S WORK for you BUT... I work in a big shop where a lot of clients buy differents models from Htc and, 2 months ago, somebody have the same problem (with 2 lines) WITH a Tytn. We have flashing his tytn with the original rom and the problem has gone !
Have you try to make a connection with you pc ??? If activsync work...(maybe the bootloader work and ... of course, you can't see if the htc is running because you screen d'ont work for the moment)... you have nothing to loose if you try... If activsync dont work, try to put a original signed rom from htc to the root directory of your microsdcard and follow this tread from the xda-wiki section : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
REALLY, I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL BUT I REALLY THINK THIS IS MADE BY SOMETHING WRONG (FOR ANY RAISON) IN YOUR ROOT DIRECTORY AND THE SCREEN CAN'T WORK NORMALLY... oF IT'S MEABY DUE TO A BAD CONTACT BEETWEEN YOU SCREEN AND THE "MOTHERBOARD" FROM THE PDA.
I HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOU.

Could you give me step by step instructions on flashing the xda orbit rom. Out of frusturation i tried updating the orbit to WM6 and it successfuly updated according to message on my computer screen. So i have wm6 on my phone now but still the same problem.
I exctacted the file and put it in the root of my sd card and pressed the voice button and power button. Now how do i know that the ROM is being flashed? (since i just see the white screen). Even for the orbit should i just name the file on the microsd card as ARTEIMG.nbh ?
Thanks for all your help..but since i am new to this could you please explain teh process in more simpler terms?
Thanks again

Sorry to tell you dear friend but your LCD is cracked, you can see it very clearly on the first picture, bottom right hand corner.
simple way to test if true is to connect to the pc and see if its recognised.
sorry to give you some bad news.

i dont mind the bad news. So if i just buy a replacement lcd from ebay would that work? How hard is it to replace LCD? Is it something that i can do by myself? What should i be buying THIS OR THIS. You guys know of any other cheap places where i can buy lcd screen? My computer does recognise the orbit once i connect it to the computer and activesync successfuly completes the operation. So i am guessin there is something wrong with the lcd screen.

If You Put Out Your Battery More Than 30 Second, It Make The Same ?? And In The Same Place???

NOW YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOOSE... if is it the screen, you must change it...
But before, try to flash one more time your artemis with the original wm5 and, for sure, begin to make it supercid before (so you are sure you dont make a second problem !).
The client with a same problem (but not with the little trace at the right side from your screen) is happy now ! Play also a littlebit to make hardreset, softreset, usb bootloadermode ... And maybe you will see the color coming back!
I said one more time, i am not a professional for this problem but, "still trying" is never bad.... And for the screen... if you command him, you must waiting... so... try it first and if you have no more solution to try, send the pdaphone to htc... And if it's the screen, pay the replacement to htc and dont make it you self ( ebay?? are you sure 100 % the screen you buy its working???!!!??? ).

Yeah, if your computer recognises it, it'll just need a new screen.

Ok, first bit, there is a section on this forum on linking where to buy a lcd with touch screen, and there is also a guy who has done this, you can read up on it, but it will take you some time and hours removing the covers ( trying not to damage them ) and also hours of painfull cleaning, dust is the worst thing you could ever imagine,as soon as that nice lcd comes out of the package you will have dust all over it and once you have the phone back together the smallest amount of dust trapped inside will drive you crazy.
The best action for you to do would be to send it off for repair, in the end you will have your phone fully working.
the price of the replacement LCD is around 80 Euro's + sending cost.
the price you have to look into for a repair could be double.
but look into this carefully and ask yourself these questions.
1. Have you ever done this before.
2. Do you have the right tools.
3. Do you have a lot of paitience.
4. Is it worth doing it yourself and causing more damage to the phone ?
if you cannot say yes to all of these points that the solution is to send it off to repair.
hope this helps.
Regards.

i've just sent you a pm! please check

Does anyone know, where can it be send for repair to?
I have a bricked phone (even bootloader is not started).
And it was bought at eBay, so no any warranty or so.
This is XDA Orbit and I'm in Austria, where O2 has no representation.
Could you, please, advice the companies/possibilities to reapir it (chip change or direct reflashing - not via USB).

Thanks for letting me know..i though it was a pretty simple thing to do by myself. But now I definitely dont want to take that chance. I will shop around for some local cell repair shop. But since this phone is not available in canada I dont know where to go. Does anyone know of a repair shop in Toronto?

I would think the quickest turnaround would be throught HTCamerica. Its located in Houston Tx...
http://www.america.htc.com/support/service-repairs.html
thats just my two cents, turnaround time is like 5 to 7 days after receipt... if they service your phone, they do p3300, you would have to call to find out

This happened to mine too,and screen was not broken.Working internally but white 'screen of death' showing.Sent back to 02 but no mention of fault on return.I think rom suffers corruption since it was after x close, fix.Not sure though!

[Q] My volume button is broken

I just realized that my volume down button is not working
I am really frustrated right now coz I really love my phone It is not even a year old or dropped in these few days it suddenly just stopped working. Is there anyway that I can fix this ?

Well first U have to figure out what reason cause this. Is this becuz of the software or the hardware? Try to flash another clean and stable Rom and see if your button is working now. If not,well...Go to the prepair store to try to fix it...Cheers

well.. my volume rocker just stopped working aswell, and it is caused by hardware fault.
it is completely loose aswell. and i think i can live with it..
you just have to find workarounds for things like vibration mode and stuff like that.
there are apps in the market that can help you.
search hint: Volume.

Hello
This is my first post, so hello everybody
I had a problem with volume button as well. I flashed another ROM and it doesn't help, so i decided to send the phone repair under guarantee, and the phone was repaired free of charge

...and if we don't have warranty?

i paid 50e for repair few days ago...I have 6 monts warranty jet but my mobile provider sad that he cant accept hardware issues like that in warranty

There are kits on ebay (or other websites) that include a tool to take phone apart and install a new volume rocker. I did this and it now works better than it did before. However, the volume up does not work, only volume down, but that could be due to the fact I may have done it wrong

if it is not a software issue you gonna have to open phone...
check that metal piece(look picture) on flex that is on right place,
and also check that it makes "click" when you press it with a nail or pencil.
if it is not in right place it wont make contact and it won't work.
to place it in position you can try using hair dryer, heat it and move it to center(look picture to see where it must be)
why that happens?
combination of high temperature (in the car during the summer...) and high usage of volume button.

This has been happening to me for a few months too. It clicks but nothing happens, I can't get it fixed and I've flashed dozens of ROMs so it's not a software issue.

To be honest, its just one of the terribly made bits of the phone. That and the sim card cover.

[Q] Capacitive buttons stop working

Today is a very sad day for me somehow my new htc one x's capaticive buttons stopped working i restarted and even factory resetted and they are not working anymore
my previous htc hd2 was stopped digitizer working too. How unlucky i am.
I guess I neet to install CWM and using on screen button
which rom do you reccomend? ı used to install couple roms to hd2 but i havent tried with one x
thank you all

Factory reset will only reset it to the rom you have flashed. Have you tried flashing the correct ruu for your phone? When you say it's new, how new? New enough to return to where you got it for replacement?

capacitive buttons stopped working
my htc one x touch sensitive buttons have stopped working like a week ago, i then installed the coldjellybean by which i got that onscreen buttons after 2 days the buttons started working n i thought of selling the set but as i was going to make a deal with a person that day the problem appeared again, i dont have the warranty left and the screen replacement is quite not an option. Is there any trick that i can work on to make them work again.

it could be just the digitizer and on ebay you can find it quite cheap.

i took the phone to my local market n came to know that the their isnt any separate capacitive buttons cable, it is embedded within the lcd, so if i have to order then whole complete lcd + digizer + module, and i checked the online purchase price is almost the same price the local market ppl are offering that is near 60 dollars.
Just that i am not sure why does the buttons stopped working and if somehow why they started working n now have again stopped ;(

not sure what you mean.. look at this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Touch-S...865?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d02ec98e9
anyway it happened to me with another phone that a portion of the digitizer stopped working for a few days, then it started working again and then it stopped for good and had to replace it.

it is hard to separate the digitizer from the lcd but it's doable and nothing like the iphone digi+lcd that uses an epoxy adhesive. so if you are carefull (or have someone skilled doing it for you) you wont break the lcd and you'll save quite some money. it's true though that the new digitizer wont stick to the lcd as well as a "genuine combo digi+lcd" and you will notice dust building in between the two. my advice, if you know someone that is skilled enough, try get the digitizer off without breaking the lcd and if you manage that then buy the new digitizer. otherwise since you said that changing the whole digi+lcd is not an option you can always try sell your one x as damaged or use it as an expensive paperweight.
best of luck mate, i hope you solve it one way or another.

haha that paperweight thing made my day... well thanks for the advice but i think i am going to wait until it gets ok by itself as it happened before until then icecoldjelly rom would be a temporary solution for the onscreen buttons. Thanks anyway

Random (and ghostly) touches on screen

Hi guys!
I have a F180L (converted on a E975), my phone never fell from any distance, or had any kind of impact, BUT...Since I updated to last version o Carbom ROM, I've got a issue on my screen...
There are random touches on my down-left corner of the screen. It's completely random, while the charger is plugged, or not. But it only happens when an app is opened, while in homescreen (even on google now cards) everything is ok...
I've already flashed another rom, the AOKP Android L release 11, the problem still here...I installed a screen tester app, and this corner is not recognizing when I touch.
What can I do? Is there any kind of fix for it?
It's really annoying (mainly while typing)...
Thank you for any help!

I guess its time for a replacement.

Made some research on other forums and found some people with the same problem, but on other devices...On Nexus 4 and Xioami (mostly)...They solved this by replacing the battery...I'll try to do that this week...
But any other tip about can help...

it might be a kernel issue
if u have jolla kernel try changing the kernel first

I have also the ghost touching on my E975.
Tried to do a scan with antivirus with no luck.
For instance it's hard to dial number, because there are ghost touches often.
It's like on tihs video, but I have touches even more often:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHFtafL-HKc
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Any ideas about the issue?

It's relatively common issue, hope it will not appear again...

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I seem to have a problem with my screen, not with the ghostly touches but my screen has like one part of it not responsive to touches especially the keyboard. While typing in portrait mode I can't type in the letters x and d and the whole line of the screen above those letters can't respond to my touches. The others are OK though. Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Already flashed different ROMs but same problem

So...I didn't manage to get a new battery to perform a test yet...Maybe I'll do that until the end of this week, and post the results here...
About the kernel...Mine is "3.4.0 [email protected]" ...
Going to update to new Kevin's L ROM and see what will happen...Hope I can help u, guys...

I had the same problem as well, unfortunately my phone was just out of the warranty period so I couldn't get a repair or replacement. I tried everything to do with the software and firmware at first to see if that was the issue(no luck). I noticed when my phone was either hot from heavy usage or charging, it was at its worst..couldn't even put my lock pattern in without it spazzing out. After almost throwing my phone at a wall numerous times I decided to get a new digitizer (easily bought online at reasonable prices). Watched a tutorial on Youtube and replaced it successfully and haven't had a problem since.

That's exactly the SAME situation the occurred today, almost threw at a wall...when data is on heavy usage, it gets worse...I'll try this, but I seriously thinking about to get a new Moto G...'cause this digitizer gonna take a long time to arrive at my country
Thanks for ur information, dude!

So tried the touchscreen test and found out it was like a whole strip of screen that got affected. It was okay just a few days ago though,

Yeah no problem and thats unlucky. I've got the Korean variant and wasn't ready to wait weeks to get my new digitizer either from Asia. I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit). Yeah the Moto G look great but it seems to be more of a downgrade from your current handset right?

I live in the UK I managed to find one here on ebay. I know you can get some from Italy , Spain and I'm positive there some in US aswell. Search "E975 housing or digitizer" depending on what your after. Do be careful as some replacements screens lack the LG logo or a bad quality. Im would give direct link but im not sure about the forum rules on that are. If your still unsure do PM me your country and I'll PM you back an appropriate link.
Hope I helped.

Screen fades to black/Flickering (Issue)

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere but i haven't found it. Has anyone had this issue where your phone turns on and it just fades to black? I've found a few people online have this problem. I had to send my phone back and just got a replacement yesterday. It seemed to work fine for a few hours. Then i went ahead and rooted it and the problem came back to this new model they sent me. I wonder if it's a DPI or motherboard issue when you root. I have read that it is a batter issue. Another person says it's the motherboard. And another even says it's the screen that need replacing.
Here are a few videos:

Mothernoard and LCD. I'm guarantee this for You. I had the same problem with lcd, but it was broken. But i had almost the same symptoms mate. So, probably you'd buy a secondhand G3. Maybe ... I dunno right now how much will cost you a new mother board with the LCD. I'm really sorry mate ? ? Take care ??

I had to send my phone back and just got a replacement yesterday. It seemed to work fine for a few hours. Then i went ahead and rooted it and the problem came back to this new model they sent me. I wonder if it's a DPI or motherboard issue when you root. I have read that it is a batter issue. Another person says it's the motherboard. And another even says it's the screen that need replacing.
Here are a few videos:

Hey, I had a similar issue then I disassembled the device and checked the connectors, board and other components, then I procceded to only reassemble the device and it now works perfectly! I believe it was bad connection maybe caused by dropping (guilty lol)

Hi
finally I found the perfect solution for this issue,
No need to call LG company
No need to replace any part of your smartphone
No need to pay for anything
this is a software issue believe me or Not !! it's not about any piece of hardware ........... yeh it's look like a hardware issue but it's not
I have an LG G3 and I was have Exactly the same problem .
All what you have to do is :
* 1 Root your phone [ be careful in this step ] .
* 2 Install TWRP recovery mode
* 3 use TWRP recovery mode to install CloudyG3 2.5.
That's all and your smart phone will be look like LG G4 , fast,smooth, and New

I find this implausible. It is most certainly a hardware issue. Software cannot fix a physical hardware (overheating) problem, although it can manage power more efficiently.
What tests did you perform before and after in order to fix the problem on the device to which you refer?

If it's not software related then it is probably a ribbon cable/connector issue...which would help explain why people are seeing recurring failures after replacing LCD's and motherboards.
I followed this youtube video and it fixed my friend's flickering LCD...it took about 15 minutes total and cost $0... http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/lg-g3-screen-fading-flickering-fix-t3326092
If it doesn't work the 1st time you may have to add some thickness to whatever you put on top of the camera connector. I just used a rolled up label from work and stuck it on top of the camera connector, reassembled the phone, and it's been working fine for about 3 weeks now.
Good luck

Solution for fading and flickering
I found a Solution for the flickerinv issue, you don't have to put something between the cam connector and the case.
1. Open the phone
2. Remove Motherboard
3. Search for a hairdryer
4. Blow hot air on the whole Motherboard until it heats up and you can't touch it.
5. There's a chip which doesn't sit on the Motherboard correctly, heating up fix this.
I don't take any response for demaged Motherbard or so on.
Sry for grammatical mistakes, I'm a german guy. :*

I spent days of googling and there are only temporary solutions for this problem.
After testing my phone for 2 days in different conditions I realised that the screen is going crazy when the light is changing too much.
If you do a sensor calibration everything will go back to normal:
-enter in Hidden Menu (model dependent)
-select Device Test
-select MT
-OK to restart the device
-OK and do not touch the screen for few seconds
-go to Individual Items+Power (you must push power button when you select this item)
-select Sensor Test and take care to not block the proximity sensor when you make the selection
-you will be instructed to cover the sensor (usuallyy twice)
-go down to Backto the Main List
-select Normal Boot+power (again you must push the power button to make the selection)
The phone will be restarted and you will have a working phone (I have 8 days without any screen issue)

So, let me get this straight,
The problem with the G3's screen fading is a hardware issue related to the CPU/GPU. The fact that someone puts a paper on the camera connector and it works is due to the fact that the tension applied to the motherboard flexes it and it makes the BGA balls re-connect. The only way to fix it is to heat it up gradually ( I've used a professional Bosch Hot Air gun and some special paste ) and before reassebly, to put a metal plate with some thermal paste between the CPU and the metal case. This way the CPU won't overheat that bad, and it will be pressed into the motherboard, minimising the risk of this to reappear.
For any other questions contact me anytime.

Thank you for your instructions - surprisingly it worked. You missed a step - the menu should be ELT test after getting into hidden menu.

Did this and now have an insecure boot error, going to give a fresh kdz install a go

I followed the baking instructions and the phone seems to be working again. At 375F (solder melting point) for 7 minutes. Then I let it cool in the oven for 30 minutes before reassembling the phone. Seems to be working.

Maybe, Maybe not
I started messing around with the settings, and since my phone, right now, doesn't have service, I turned data off. Where the screen would eventually fade to black, and became unresponsive, It would darken a little bit, then snap back. I said hey, why don't I get a cpu app(I used setcpu). I lowered the speed to a little over 1900, made sure it was using ondemand(using noop), turned off automatic brightness(set it to 61%), and rebooted. So far no flickering, fade to black, unresponsive touchscreen, with no touch, installed greenify. I'm gonna let it charge, and see about the battery life(thank goodness I installed greenify). Yes the phone's rooted, and twrp is installed, and xposed is in, but never changed roms, just stock. When I get a carrier for it, and it does it again, then there maybe something there.

Hi all,
I had issues after I acedentilly fried mine using maps, spotify and wireless charging when driving with it in direct sunlight. I didn't realise until I nearly burnt myself picking it up. A few hours later it started flickering and fading off suggesting to is an issue either caused or effected by overheating.
Anyway i took it apart and baked the motherboard at 175C for 8 minutesminutes and it worked flawlessly for 3 weeks until it overheated agian. Did it at 200C for 9 minutes this time and its fine, see how it lasts and maybe get some thermal paste and make some adjustments to keep it cool
