[Q] LCD not displaying

Hi there,
My phone is semi-bricked, that is, when I boot, after the Sony Ericsson logo there's nothing except a gray-black screen
(like this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I've done before:
Flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595058
I was using this rom for about 3 weeks and everything was fine. Two days ago while playing Plok! on Snesoid the phone froze(the gray-black screen popped up). I rebooted(had to take out my battery) and everything was fine. Yesterday while playing "Gravity Defied" the phone froze again. I rebooted again but now I get this gray-black screen right after the SE logo. Recovery doesn't work. I tried to flash the rom from the above link again but it gave nothing. I flashed 4.0.2.A.0.62 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399 and the same problem still occurs.
Is there any way to repair it on my own or do I have to go to a service center?
update: I kept the phone on with this gray-black screen and after about 30 minutes the screen changed to normal Android "desktop". Any idea what's going on?
update2: Maybe that's important -> when the previous 2 freezes occurred I had the PS buttons slide extended. I have played some games in the meantime with the phone slide closed and everything was fine.
Update3: It's definitely not a software problem. If the slide is closed everything is fine. After I extend the slide, the screen stops to refresh(the touch screen works, I can pick up calls etc. when the screen is gray-black). When I close it back it takes some time for the screen to work again. My guess is that's a problem with the ribbon cord but I've no idea what can I do with it...any suggestions?

try flash to original firmware

Its the flex cable. Its what connects your display to the gpu.

Warranty is void when you open the bootloader.

As usual, a better description of your problem would be way more helpful that:
does anybody have seen this.
But I guess you are missing some displaying of icons.
Though I have not that many experiances with geh Google Nexus, I would guess it's an hardware error of the graphic chip. (If it's a stock ROM)
Else there could be a problem with the graphic driver.(of a Custom Rom)

My apologies for the vague question. But thanks for the input. Those 'black boxes' were my widgets and folders. I'm running a completely bone stock GSM phone from the Play Store with the new 4.1.1 OTA update.
Everything seems to be back to normal now that I did a reset. Should I think about doing a warranty service?

Did you try a reboot and did it change anything? Or did you go straight for a reset (=reset to default or reinstalling?)
How long did Android run? (I ask because I know of an Issue of Windows (which might not be true for any Linux/Andoid/Unix system, still.....)
e.g. there was (is (?) a problem once Windows runs out of memory. then it stops displaying Icons correctly. but in such a situation it was also very, very slow but a reboot helped

NO!
looks like a software issue.. there is nothing for warranty to repair..

@dna99 - Wrong choice of word, I performed a soft reset(reboot) not a complete reset. I'm not sure how long android was running for didn't check before I rebooted the phone. I can believe that (running low on memory).
@pdx - Thanks for the advice.

Check this out!

I had a weird thing happen with my signal today. It kept going out, and data just wouldn't work! Although the 3G icon was there nothing would download. Here is a pic of the connection status! Look at the mobile network type!

i had this happen to me for like two weeks on and off. After a while it would do this to me while the bars were blue! I tried toggling my data on and off, toggling airplane on and off, rebooting and even calling sprint to have them restart my data. This even followed me from rom to rom. The only way I got rid of it was to download the complete FH05 jellybean tar and odin back to stock jelly bean. I tried to odin to FD02 and except the ota but it followed me there too. Its wierd, and it started after I flashed a certain rom(wont name it cuz i cant be sure it had anything to do with it) and then the rom gave me some probs I wiped and restored my nandroid of cm10 I had before I flashed the mystery rom and thats when it started. And cm10 was working awesome for like three weeks before the mystery rom flash. I mean problems dont just pop up, theyre either there or theyre not.

Well I ended up calling Sprint today to find out what the problem was and they told me it was due to some tower being worked on! Maybe it has to do with the LTE?

I've had that happen to me a couple of times. Mainly its when I had it set to run on GSM/Edge/LTE/HSPA+ mode.
Its just due to the way your phone finds the best tower. It shouldn't hurt your phone, or affect your data in any way. Just switch your roaming profile to home only. It should fix it.
And to the Photoshop guy...
Are you that stupid? Seriously, use your mind. It doesn't look photoshopped. Even if it was, it would be a decent work.

Google + is eating all my battery since 4.2.1 update...

Hey just thought I'd post this here and see if anyone else is having similar problems. I updated to the latest firmware a few weeks ago and ever since then my phone is dead after only 6ish hours with pretty average use in between. My battery stats are pointing towards the Google plus app as being the culprit so I force close it but it obviously keeps restarting.
Before the update I was able to go over a day before it would go completely flat.
Here's a screen grab of my battery stats, anyone have any ideas on what I can do to sort this out?

Oh and I forgot to mention, the phone is completely stock unrooted, locked boot loader etc.
Cheers.

Maybe try and uninstall updates to Google+ and reinstall. I had a problem after updating to 4.2.1 where Google+ kept syncing and it was solved this way.
Edit: Forgot to mention, my phone is stock with unlocked bootloader.

Cheers, I'll give that a go and see how it works out.

I just took my phone off the charger not long ago. Will post another screenshot when it's been on battery for a while, should give you a better idea of reasonable ratios.

Worst comes to worst, wipe everything (including SD) and start over. You could have some spooky ghost files and some cobwebs all up in your GNex!

My 4.2 Experience
i have been trying several 4.2 roms and with all of them i was getting the worst battery and also a very strange bug or at least i think it was a bug :silly: since i was using my phone normally and then all of the sudden the screen goes black but the phone still funtional it wasnt a SOD for example i was playing a game and then boom black and the sound vibration and everything all was keep on working i the end i decided to go back to CNA

Took another screenshot. I haven't used my phone so much today, but what you're seeing, OP, is definitely not normal.
I uninstalled Extended Controls. Battery stats for the app was ridiculous if the system app showed correctly. If I'm lucky I'll notice improved battery life now

[Q] Gap between toggles and notifications.

So I noticed today that I have a gap that's really noticeable. Does anyone know how I would fix this without messing anything up badly? Running re-calked for jelly bean with agats 1.4.0 kernel modem is gb27 AIO is 4.4 by tdunham (spell check). Also have jellyverse blue toggles flashed over the 4.4 AIO.

I believe if you update to the latest ported 3 minit settings it will give you an option to reclaim that area'left by brightness slider.

Oh wow that's strange. When I rebooted it was normal again. You're right it was brightness slider but something caused it to crash since I do run it.

This has been happening randomly if you leave the slider active, a bug that hasn't been addressed as it hasn't been reported. I thought it was just me messing around too much lol.
