Screen problems

I wonder if anyone can help. I did search the site but couldn't find anyone with similar problems.
The problem is the screen colours are 'messed up' and it rarely displays the screen correctly. I know its a problem like a lose or damaged connection inside the phone but I want to know if it will get fixed out of warranty? If so where do I start?
If the warranty is useless then I will crack the phone open and have a look myself, but I didn't want to open it if HTC will fix it.
Its an O2 XDA IIs by the way with the latest O2 software.
Here is a pic:

It doesn't look too bad in that pic, but it gets worse and sometimes fades to white.
Thanks

F355,
Akthough I'm no specialist, it remonds me a problem I had with a graphic card a while ago. It could well be that the graphic chip on the main board is giving way.
If such is the case and the device is still under warranty, u know what to do!

Thats the problem I think its out of warranty. I remember I had a Nokia 8210 about 4 years ago and they fixed that even out of warranty, just wondering if HTC are as good customer service wise. Its probably wear and tear but surely it should be designed to last. My XDA I is much better quality, shame its so big, slow and has no features.

Well I contacted O2 data support and they said that O2 XDAs come with 2 years warranty (the phone is 1yr 1m old) so they are sending a pre-paid envelope and hopefully fixing it.
The only problem is because its 'screen damage' they might not fix it even in warranty and I will have to pay £17 handling fee. :roll:

[Q] need help with a strange screen problem

I have an HTC Desire Bravo and it suddenly developed this screen issue.
I uploaded images of the phone to my flickr. It seems that perhaps the lcd oil has leaked or maybe water has gotten in. I'm sure it was caused by pressure on the screen as the LED backlights are more visible round the sides now and the inside screen (LCD) seems curved outwards but the outside (digitizer/touchscreen) doesnt seem bent. anyway here's the links to my pictures, If anyone finds a way to fix it without sending it off to get a new screen please let us know!

In order to fox the screen yourself it literally requires you take take apart the ENTIRE phone from back to front. I'm sure you can find a guide on Google, but you'd be really putting your phone at risk if you haven't got any experience with this.

You can't fix this yourself.. needs to be sent for repair, you'll only make it worse mate

I kinda figured. I was hoping to see if it was possible to open the phone and just blow air between the screen and digitizer.. that way i could theoretically pop them apart with like a bit of surgical tubing and an industrial strength blower.
But if the screen isnt connected with a ribbon and is just silicon stuck on then i'm not doing it. HATE that silicon ****.
Oh and thanks bortak

I had the same problem on my Samsung jet. It's a LCD leak. U can fix it ur self but it is very complicated and requires you to dissassemble your phone ..

Skin/ Phone Template Request

Hi there.
Iv been looking for a case for quite a while now and to be honest i dont really want one. So my next choice is a skin for the phone.
Before buying either the Ghost Armor or Skinomi TechSkin.. i was thinking of making one myself.
How you might ask? Well my Dad has all types of vinyl and a vinyl cutter.... He makes signs.
What im looking for is a template of either skin or a template (dimenstions) of the phone itself so i can design one myself.
If it all goes well ill take a few pictures of it and post it up here.
I havent had much time to search for a template/dimenstions since i only thought of it now.. and im going a sleep pretty soon. I would be greatful if anyone could help me out.
Last resort would be to scan the phone with a scanner lol...
Thanks.

I just done some quick free hand work of the back cover and a little bit of the side..

Dont mind the color.. i just picked it at random from lots of different ones haha.
After tonight im free for four days.. so like i said before.. any help on finding some sort of template etc would be very helpful.
Thanks.
edit:
I was event thinking of doing a full 1 piece skin.. which covers the back and sides since i never remove my battery or sim.

Bump... no on?
Im finishing work in a few hours and would love to start straight away

Honestly for $15 you can't beat gelaskins. You can use any image you want. So basically the sky is the limit.
I just don't know if it is worth all the time and energy since gelaskins is so affordable.

Back cover door replacement for sprint note 2

I see few of them on Ebay and I am interested in the metal back cover rather than going the case route, but I wanted to know if the back cover on sprint is compatible with nothing on the back of it(nfsc etc etc) if someone can post a picture of both sides of the back cover that would be greatly appreciated

There are no contacts for NFC. You may be able to pry off the contact on the OEM back or get another one and do that. But NFC and metal don't play well together usually. May work, may not.

But you can get this, it has nfc. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009NIRX14/ref=pe_152840_26435120_pe_vfe_dt1 Ive used these batteries before on my gs3 and they were really good.

On Note II NFC is NOT part of the battery but is a part of the back cover. That little black plate with two contacts on its side... there's NFC under it.
Whether our Note II has a way how to route NFC signal from the battery I consider highly unlikely.

Hmm, didnt think about that, just thought they would work like the gs3.

[Q] What should I do with this screen?

Hello,
I've had my desire for almost a year now, and it broke yesterday... I was playing with my 6-year old nephews, and my desire fell out of my pocket. I didn't know that it was broken until I wanted to check my whatsapp a few hours later, and when I did, the screen was like this:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
... (lol the image is way too big)The touchscreen is working fine, I can turn it on and unlock it, I can even send an whatsapp, because I knew where the icon was. So what should I do with it? Repair it if it's possible? How much would that cost? I now have an iPhone 3gs as stand-in, should I keep that for as long as my contract lasts (1 year)? Or should I buy a new one? If so, which one would you advise me? A cheap one please, as I want to save for the PS4 later this year.
I'm running Sandvolds ICS for those that want to know...
Thanks!

There's a possibility that the screen cable is slightly disconnected. Try to disassemble the phone, and check the cable.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try
Edit: Yeah I tried to take it apart, seems I've got no T5 screwdriver at home... Basically, if I would take it apart I would have not any idea what te screen cable is... Is it the LCD connecter? I do know quite a bit about software and that sort of stuff, but I'm a n00b at replacing hardware :S

I had the exact same screen on my Desire :silly:
That screen is broken and you need to replace it. I would recomend a professional to do it because I tried to do it myself and I destroyed my phone. And the other thing if you decide to go on with replacement - Desire had two different screen types and every type had one or two subtypes which are NOT compatible with each other so you need to know exactly what type of screen you have
