Ive had my touch pro2/tilt2 for some months now...and it has absorbed basic wear and tear...but last week something strange happened. My screen is acting strange. When I turn the phone on the phone boots up as normal, but I dont see my splash screen. When it gets to the unlock screen, the screen is just like the scrambled random colors and what not. Sometimes if i press really hard on the screen, it will return to normal. But most of the time it wont properly work. I can still get calls and text, but i cant see anything on my screen. I was about to do a hard reset, but i couldnt see my screen. Does anyone know whats going on with my phone?
Hi

Maybe bad contact on the flat cable.

I think you can open PIM Backup files with Excel or OpenOffice Calc. I haven't used it in ages, but I'm pretty sure.
My brother was out last night and out of nowhere his phone screen went blank. The LCD is displaying the color black but will not show anything else. The touch screen is responsive but you can't see what you're touching. I've tried entering the bootloader and recovery mode, and I'm pretty positive it's working but there is still nothing displayed on the screen. Never heard of this happening to anyone else with the G2. It was running CM 6.1.1 with the original kernel.
Sounds like sumat has come loose. Send it in on the warranty pal.

i am randomly getting a fuzzy screen on my xperia and cant do anything with my device for a few minutes does anyone know what the cause of this might be?
fuzzy.....maybe you need glasses?
..........sorry couldn't resist.
Had someone else with this problem. Have you tried restoring it using the PC Companion software?
My Captivate Glide's screen does this whenever I turn it on:
I didn't drop it or get it wet, it just started doing this randomly.
I live in the UK and ordered the phone unlocked over eBay so I can't take it into an AT&T store, sadly.
Do you guys know if there's anything I could do myself or anything someone more experienced in repairing mobile phones could do to fix the screen?
This is bearing in mind that not many people over here have seen one of these phones though.
Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks guys.
you was using still GB right? just flash ics via odin, with one click or with a tar file
This is UCLH2 without one click

And here is the latest version with bug fixes (like keyboard light)
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11/...ptivate-glide/
and there is for one click

i think that only one click wipe your internal storage. but is the bes (in my opinion). try it, dont have anything to lose
No, I already updated it to ICS. Should I reinstall it? Will that fix the screen? How will I manage to do it with the screen all messed up?
if you can put in download mode, then you can. Its weird because i only see that problem with GB. Put in download mode and then reinstall
I just tried putting it into download mode but I get the exact same thing.
Thats weird, the problem is weird because it never happen to me in download mode, maybe you can try it without battery, or let the phone without battery a couple of hours, etc.
Dont Know what you cand o, because if you cant enter in download mode, you will be no able to flash ICS
Hrm... that purple splotch in the bottom left of the screen doesn't look so good... Almost appears as if it had been dropped on that corner at some point in the phone's history. I am tempted to say that is a hardware issue, though. Reminds me of when the flex cable for my laptop's display started shorting out many years ago. Might be repairable, but, might be a costly repair depending on what all needs to be replaced. I can't imagine replacing the software on it will do much, though, sorry to say. You could give it a shot, you can verify if your phone made it into download mode without the display by loading up odin and seeing if it detects under that, and then running the one click install (or any other since you'd have odin running anyway) but I wouldn't expect much.
If you're not getting the Samsung/Rogers logo screen, you're done. Either the screen is physically damaged, or the bootloader is corrupt. There's no saving that one, sadly.
yes, try what Artemis-kun say. put in download mode and connect, and see if odin detected. Or maybe just turn on the phone and wait a little, then try to call to your phone, if the phone ring or appears to be on, then is a hardware problem.
But try what Artemis-kun, maybe you have luck
PD: now i see better the image and it seems little different from what it happens to me. if you turn on, inmediatly happen that? or screen banish slowly?
AW: [Q] Screen's gone fuzzy and weird - need help please
There should be a cable, connecting the hardware to the display. Maybe it loosened, you should check out the video of a guy tearing his glide apart, hopefully youll find something to repair there.

Hey guys, you'll be glad to hear I finally fixed my Glide by installing a new screen assembly from Repairs Universe.
I'm having a somewhat weird issue with my ACE 2's display. When I turn it on, the screen went blank (not black) but blank, everything still runs but the display isn't showing anything. And by blank I mean the background is kinda like the one in CWM recovery but without the logo. Right now, all i can do to solve this is by removing the battery and turn the phone back on.
I'm hoping someone is also having this problem and have a better solution to it.
PS : My friends say that it's a hardware problem but I don't think so.
