Screen problem or graphics card? Broken Kaiser?

About 10 mins ago I was in the middle of typing out a text message then the screen went 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_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"
}
It's very white, but you can make out some text and icons, the touch screen still works.
I'm using the original O2 ROM on my O2 XDA Stellar, and have never flashed the ROM or HardSPL (Yet!).
i tried booting into the bootloader but the screen is still like that, so I presume this is not a software issue.
Any suggestions before I call O2 for a replacement?
EDIT: I must point out that the screen is still at it's proper brightness, it is just mostly white! Kind of inverted infact.

Hi,
I've the same problem!!!!!!

No way! What device is yours, the Stellar?
Just tried a hard reset with no joy.
About to call O2. Have you done anything bout it yet?

My device is an Italian HTC TyTN II.
I also tried with an Hard Reset, but nothing.......
I sent it to service center.......

Well I've called up O2, who were very good. Because I have had the phone for less than 28 days, they are sending me out a brand new one immediately, and I just swap the broken one with the new one at the door when it arrives!

Same thing exactly happened to me tonight. I guess it's a hardware problem. I'll be calling AT&T tomorrow.

Well I've received my replacement fine. O2 sent it straight out, next day delivery, swapped it at the door.
One interesting thing I have discovered is that the keyboard and external side keys are much better than in my old one. I had initially complained about them,the keyboard was not very responsive, some keys hardly clicked and it was hard to tell if you had actually pressed them sometimes. The new one is almost perfect!

same here humm this is gonna suck now.. anyone know how to return att phone with out an account

Well, my phone started doing that same thing last night.
I bought my Tilt about six months ago and it has been the greatest phone I've ever had.
Last night after touching the Contacts icon at the bottom right corner of the screen the whole screen turned very white just like the photos posted on the first post of this thread. I can still read the text, but the screen is too bright even though it is set to the lower brightness level. If I increase the brightness it gets almost unreadable.
I slided out and tilted the front and it came back to normal. It hapenned again and I did some very small hits with the tip of my finger and it came back to normal. It happened like 5 more times and got fixed back with some small hits with the fingers. However, after the sixth time it has not come back to normal.
It seems to me like some bad or broken contact, specially because it seems to happen when I touch the bottom right corner. I don't think reloading any software will fix this.
Whatever the problem is I will have to solve it myself since I bought this phone over Ebay and mailed down to me to Costa Rica.
I'm planning on opening the front and examining the display today in the afternoon. If anyone has some tips to share with me on this particular problem or on how to open the thing I will really appreciate them.

I did open my Tilt today as well as another good working one from a friend of mine.
The display from the working Tilt works just fine in my phone while my display does the same too bright behaviour.
Looks like a defective display to me. I already ordered a replacement.

May i ask where you ordered the screen?
Thanks

Any camera app causing reboot - broken buttons flex

Hi, i recently bought used xperia z and it was all ok till i've decided to wash it so it is water resistant. Sadly the water came in (maybe back plate loose or something, flaps were closed im 140% sure, suddenly power button stopped working and with up volume button i could unlock the phone, after some time the button started working but not for long, now it is pressing itself randomly and it makes me go mad.Y esterday i dissasembled my phone and suddenly when i was taking the battery out i broke flex from the volume button (photo) i've disconnected the flex and plugged it in and nothing more, when i turned on the phone, everything was working great (with buttons, sound, microphone etc) but any camera app is causing resart of the phone (with some apps i can see the preview for a second or two the it restarts) My question is: It is possible that this broken flex has the influence with the camera ? i didn't damaged anything more, just that small ribbon, It is weird that everything works with this part broken, but why camera ? Sadly after some time i have the same issue (power button pressing itself) but for that i just buy a new flex. I just want to know will my camera work after that. Maybe someone had some issue like that.

I discovered that the broken flex is for gyroscope which affects camera app propably camera firmware is affected by lack of gyroscope, with service test of gyro phone reboots asweel. Maybe someone can make some use of this info.

I have the same problem with my Xperia Z.....Is there any rom in which the camera will work with out gyroscope?

did you change the flex?

My phone also reboot if any app that boots the camera. Any clues?
EDIT: I just tested the gyro, it crashed the phone too!

I thought the gyroscope was on the main board
source - electronics360.globalspec.com/article/3563/sony-xperia-z-c6603-mobile-handset-teardown
I thought this cable only looked after on/off, volume and speaker. What is your source for a connection to the gyroscope?

Hello!
I got the same problem! First, i changed the screen, but i did broke the microphone, so i could not speek which i though was pretty annoying... Everything else worked perfectly. So i ordered a new flex cable with mic to solve the problem, and it did, but now any camera app will reboot the phone...
is there anyone who has gotten anywhere with this problem? I can not see any visible damage to my flex band

lol the same thing happened to me today, sent in my phone under warranty.
first my camera lens had water condensation
on my way to the service centre, my power button acted randomly on its own.
looks like i saved myself lots of trouble
I was weighing in whether to try drying it on my own, this makes me sure I did the correct thing.
There's a service manual available at the main thread
You guys seem pretty handy with the phone but just in case it helps

[Q] Anyone else had this screen fault?

Charged my G Watch R last night as I always do and put it on this morning. Noticed at my breakfast meeting that it had froze earlier on 6am when it was now gone 7.
Pressed and held the power button for 8 seconds to restart and now just get 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"
}
It's still working underneath as it vibrates with notifications and calls etc.
UPDATE: Randomly as I'm writing this post the screen comes back to the normal face, I have a go to flick through my notifications then it freezes on email and won't move even when the power button is pressed but again is vibrating on notifications.
Obviously it will need to go back but wondering if anyone else has had similar issues?
Thanks

Try a full reset before returning it.

I havent had that issue? Odd for sure. Check over in the Moto section if anyone has.

In the brief moments the screen returned to normal I managed to initiate a factory reset, it rebooted with the LG logo and set back up but within minutes it went back to how it is in the photo.
Thanks for your replies.

Same problem as mine?

Blinking screen in dimmed mode
Skickat via Tapatalk

Our devices were meant to be together
My LG G2. Same situation. I just have to whack it on a table a once or twice and it goes back to normal.

I had that pixelated screen popping up once, while I was testing some heavy customisations on the watch maker app ... since I'm using faces with less objects I did not saw that weird screen.
I suggest to do a factory reset or to choose one of the default watch faces ... anyway, something else than what has been on when that stuff occurred.

I had the same issue with my first one
Mine did this after getting fully charged, i had it next to me on the table ready to be strapped on when it happened.
I am amazed you could reboot, mine did not even responded to the main button any more, got really hot also.
after an hour in the box (ready to be send off back to the retailer) it did a spontaneous reset, and showed 5% battery left. I turned it off and send it back, my second one developed the blinking issue in dimmed state, so also back, now on my third one. I do hope this one will be all right, i love it dearly! The recessed screen prevents the random activations i had with the LG G, bloody annoying when playing music with Music Boss, pause/play every few seconds when my sleeve touched the screen..
I wanted to post the photo of the crashed screen, but i am not allowed yet

Thanks for all the replies.
I contact Clove Technology where I purchased it from and they have replaced it, awesome service from them. New one is working fine so far, fingers crossed it stays that way.

So far so good!

Got my new watch the other day. Works great so far, hope it will continue do so [emoji2]. Really like it !!

I got this yesterday when i tried to use Watchmaker watch face app for the first time. Reboot, happened again. Switched back to Facer. Haven't seen it again.

My match Same situation.
i need hepl.

I'm not sure if it might be an LG thing but I had the EXACT same thing start happening with my Nexus 5 a couple of weeks ago. The screen would freeze and be pixilated but the device would be working and ring and vibrate for notifications. I don't know what triggered it but coincidentally it was right after the lollipop update that it started to happen. A reboot usually (but not always) solved it. LG replaced the device as it was still under warranty.

Huh, that sounds troubling, but then again, this is the first time i hear of this on the Nexus 5, so maybe it is a software problem after all, I hope the soon to be release 5.0.2 will fix this, at least it seems to fix the battery problems some seem to have after the 5.0 update and the performance issues some see on the Nexus 7 slabs.
But as LG has swapped your N5 for a new one, i am very afraid they have a real quality issue in their production line!

S.A.M.E. ! :crying: I didn't do anything wrong with it and the screen just died after a nap.
Sent it back to Korea and it's fixed now.

Strange, for me it was the other way around: the pixelated screen just appeared out of nowhere... It did seem to respond to button actions, so I decided to keep the button pressed very long.
Result: it rebooted, and I have never had any problems since

[Q] Ghost touches; bad grounding; static charge

Hello,
I've been having problems with the touchscreen lately. Everytime it is not 'grounded' via my PC USB cable, whenever I try to put two fingers horizontally or vertically they seems to disrupt each other ie:
http://i.imgur.com/ASwFmhw.jpg
This doesn't happen when:
1. USB connected to the PC. (seems to have the best result)
2. I hold the phone with my hands and it doesn't lie on a flat surface. (still ghost touches when I align 3 or more fingers in certain position)
3. It is hooked to a decent charger with proper grounding.
Seems like there is some kind of static charge leftovers or something that disrupts the multitouch in horizontal and vertical positions. Any way to permanently get rid of such static electricity? Or is it literally 'leaking' somewhere from within the device and the only thing I can do is RMA?
People on the MIUI forums reported similar problems but only while charing the device with improper chargers.

if You have root try adding persist.usb.hvdcp.detect=true to build.prop, always take a backup before changing anything, see if that helps

Tried, didn't work. The issues seems hardware based. The grounding of static electricity is simply broken inside the phone and there is no way to fix it other than to disassemble and see what is wrong.
Thanks anyway.

Damn that's bad, I've solved with this line, hope You find the problem but as You point it seems like a defective touch panel :good:

I also have ghost touchs while charging AC. I've tried a lot of roms and anyone solved it. Anyway, I learned I shouldn't use the pone while charging xDD

That's just a bad filtered charger, I own a 2A charger which is bad filtered, i hear the mains hum in my earbuds when connected to the phone while charging with this one, ghost touches and random taps included.
And then I have another 2 chargers, one is 1A, which came with my MI3 and the other one is a 750mA Nokia AC-20E which came with Lumia 520. None of these two make ghost touches or hum from mains. All depends on their filtration circuit quality. Try some other charger, for instance some Samsung charger and see if the phone is usable then.

I RMA'd the phone, the technician stated that a change of the touch panel was done.
Alas, the problem persists. I specifically said that there is a grounding problem yet they only service the touch panel. I am quite furious right now.
Waited almost a month for them to do exactly nothing with it.

Please help, I cant pull down my status bar,

Hi All,
I noticed an update for my z3 compact and done it, nothing gone wrong after that, but 2 weeks passed and i noticed i cant pull down my status bar, but the status bar can be accessible when the screen is locked or when im on landscape mode. So i assume theres no lcd or other part broken, just the system or framework got stuck somewhere. The phone is running Android 5.1.1.
I would be very grateful if anyone can help, im still Stock n not rooted. Should i consider rooting my z3c? Ummm i do try to find excuse to going back on my BingeFlashing lol
thanks.

Simply Factory reset your device and the Lockscreen should be working just fine

Might be a capacitative sensor issue.
Try entering the service menu (bring up the phone dialpad and enter *#*#7378423#*#* ), then select Service Test -> Touch Screen.
See if you can touch and draw to the top edge of the screen. If not, you might have a faulty capacitative sensor (it's eligible for warranty replacement).

Hi all
Thanks for the quick reply. Well i had done the factory reset suggested above and the problem still persist.
Try inputing the Z3c Secret code above. And i cant really assume its ok or not. Since i cant draw until the top part which is the location of the status bar, but on the other hand, well i cant draw untill the bottom part which the home n back area as well.

I had a similar problem with my z3c recently and I sent the phone for repair and it was covererd by warranty

Ummm somehow i fixed this issue by using a hairdryer on the top part of the screen,turn my z3c off and i blow it for like 10 too 15 mins or untill it feel heated abit, next put it on a air proof container with some hard salt inside well it suck moisture if ur guessing. Let it under the sun for like half day. Come back home n turn it on, and its normal again......... man i feel weird. Or maybe my screen got some water inside? I dunno

i have same problem

Anyone who cannot swipe down notifications or quick settings, due to a broken digitiser, can follow these instructions:
[emoji7]
Download 'All in one Gestures' app from the playstore.
Go to the 'SWIPE' tab.
Enable.
Under 'Edges' , select 'Top Area'.
Then via the apps settings, choose 'Personalization'.
Now under 'Swipe Area', go into 'Edge Preference.
Make 'Opacity' 0%
With 'Edge Sensitivity' start from 0% and keep moving the slide left until the swipe down works, mine is set at 90px.
'Edge Width' 100%
'Swipe Distance' 0%
Now under 'Touch Feedback' turn off both 'Toast Message' and 'Animation'.
Then turn down 'Vibration Intensity' to '0'
Done.
You now have the screen functioning as normal.

I have the same problem, and looking in some Italian forum it's a common problem.
My touch screen started not work in up right edge. After some time in down left one (I can't use back and hone button on the nav bar) and in the end all the top first 4mm stopped working.
This is the touchscreen test in the three moments

Obviously this started a couple weeks after the warranty has expired.
Now I'm using 'j touch' app to have a floating button with gesture and it's pretty good.
I will try the that you handed suggested...
There is anything else that I can do to resolve the problem? But I think is only hardware failure
