Strange screen problem TF3D2!!Help me please - Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development

hi everybody!! i've a touch pro and 3 days ago i decided to flash energyrom 2.0 31909 whit the new tf3d2 interface!!really beautiful and a really fast rom!! i installed also the last version of S2U2!! this mornig, after i charged my TP for about 2 hours when i slide the bar of yhe S2U2 to unlock it, the bar still remain blinking on my screen, all program and TF3D2 interface are working..but the slide bar still remain on my screen, such a trasparent bar blinking...i've made a soft-reset, an hard-reset and then i decided to re-flash my Tp but the screen problem still remain!! that strange bar il also present in the screen during the flashing of my TP, during the boot screen...it's always present!!!!
Did you have someone a problem like this??
What do you think??

ASK YOUR QUESTION IN ENERGYROM THREAD
DON'T START A NEW THREAD!!!

If possible, flash back to a stock ROM first.

nope
this user is right to start a fresh post
if i understand correctly, you have an 'overlay' of the unlock bar on all of the screens after and a slight flickering?
i also have this issue, it comes and goes and as a result htc wont fix it because when they test it, it decides not to present itself!
this is due to a dodgy lcd screen, you may notice it happens when the device gets warm

Yeah that image Retention glitch happened to me...it freaked me out too...but its seems it's when the device is warm or over used i had it off for a few hours while i was sleeping...when i turned it on the next morning it was all gone.
hope it turns out ok!
good luck

I just started to experience this issue about an hour ago. I left my phone charging just now plugged into my laptop.
I was running the same ROM as you, but v 32009
Problem is I left my phone on my laptop to the left of the trackpad RIGHT ABOVE THE DANG HARD DRIVE. I saw the image retention/blinking horizontal bands at the bottom the the screen, but only on the bottom half of the TF3D tabs. So I went to hard reset, and the bottom of the reset screen was doing a 60hz refresh blink. I figured the earth magnet got it, maybe its just a heat issue? Leaving GPS on by accident probably didnt help either. And it was tethered.
Im flashing back to stock, then to rre to see if the problem persist. Maybe I should just kill it for a few hours, TBattery reports 42c.
edit: left my phone off with the battery out for an hour and the issue persist. Flashing back to stock..

I decided to remove the battery for about 2 hours abd the problem magically disappear!! I don't know why, but now my screen is perfect!! thanks for the replay and sorry for my poor english...

so it's an hardware problem not software?

I got 2 HTC Touch Pro in my home, one is mine and the others is my sister own, and I get this on others ROM's the original ROM from HTC and the cooked. I was looking for something about and I found a HTC Touch HD Issues about flickering the lcd, nothing was mentioned about TP...=//
And the flickering only show up on my TP, my sister TP works fine.
I notice the contrast was really higher than my sister

i came across a fix for this on the HTC site..but its for the Touch HD
im not sure how it would work on the TP

so my guess, its SOFTware related

after flashing back to stock and leaving the phone off for a few hours the issue has been resolved. Been back on ENERGY ROM since and no more flickering.

This issue happens to me as well. But it seems to come and go. I don't think it's the ROM since this happened to me using the ROMeOS and currently the Energy ROM. Definitely hardware issues. Sometimes this happens when I keep on switching from portrait to landscape mode. It goes away after a while though so it doesn't bother me that much. I just shake my head whenever this happens and say "f***ing phone".

thanks man! that did the trick,I've been flashing roms for two days thinking it was the rom. the response has even improved.

I've just emailed HTC about this too. Clearly there's some issue in the touch hardware or software which is causing this. It's pretty annoying that they have fixed this on the current model but are forgetting their older customers (I say old, I've not even had this thing 8 months!)
Very, very annoying. I hope HTC solve this quickly

BEFORE YOU RAISE YOU QUESTION,
1. did you make a search for an answer yet?
2. you need to provide details for you problems inorder to let other seniors here to help,
for example... which rom, how is the history....what had you done to it.......
ok ?
[QUOTE=..................
the same problem (i think it is the same) here..
it occurs generally while i am playing games and typing so many letters for sms's.
the problem has been existed since i have bought my prophet. the problem was there on official wm5 rom. using wm6 or 6.1 roms didn't fix it, but decreased a little (or i quit playing games so much).
since i couldn't enter the pin to unlock, two or more times i couldn't make an urgent call, then i soft reset it..
i thought that it is affected by heat changes when the battery consumption is high or when i hold it in my hand very long time. i also thought that it is a hardware problem, but not sure.
recently, i do not use my prophet so much, then it hasn't annoyed me for a long time..
sory,
i should have defined the problem mentioned above:
- when i touch a point on the screen by stylus (or any other way)
it assumes that i touch some pixels left of the point i intend.
- in a few minutes, sometimes this shift increases about one or two centimeters, sometimes it stay one or two letters left of the intended letter on a standard keyboard.
- this shift is much more on the right part of the screen, it gradually decreases towards the left side, and finally it exact macthes that your pressing point.
think of a rubber band, fix one end onto the left edge then stretch it to the right, this is the touch screen you see. release it to shrink it, now this is the way that it assumes you touch on it.
- after soft reset, generally the problem's gone, sometimes not.
- after re-aligning the screen, it's gone, but when somehow the cause gets remedy after a while, it occurs reverse way, then you should correct the screen alignment again (
screen misaligned
I have the exact same problem for years, I would say ever sice I got it. It's happens just like atakatas says.
Just something I noticed, It happens to me when I keep it in my leg pocket, and usually I don't soft reset nor realign the screen. I used to do that, but then I found out that waiting a few seconds it would get back to normal.
So I never asked anything arround here because it really didn't look like a software problem. I would say it is climate sensitive
Cheers

Unresponsive touch screen

I just bought this EVO 3D and sometimes the touch screen becomes unresponsive and I must turn the screen off and back on to get it to work again. After I do that the screen works fine until it happens again at random times. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am on a fresh install using the latest RUU 2.08.651.2, all stock and not rooted. I have no other problems with the touch screen other then having to cycle the screen on and off once in a while. I am hoping this is a stock rom issue and not a hardware problem.
That happen to me but is not the screen is the htc sense...the issue went away with the wtsb rom....

I had dead pixels had to return Phone now on new hboot good luck
I'm thinking my EVO 3D might have an issue like the EVO 4G. I went ahead and unlocked my phone then flashed CM7 alpha. With CM7 it also stopped responding at random times. I also noticed if I hold the phone with my hand wrapped firmly around it the issue will not happen. Last night I used the phone for over an hour straight without having to cycle the screen on and off. Today it happen 6 out 10 times I used my today at work without holding it firmly.
Or maybe I just have a bad digitizer?
I've had this too after flashing a new rom. I'd have to turn the screen off and back on again to fix. I'm not sure if there is a permanent fix at all. Been trying to find one.
What is driving me crazy is I can't figure out if I should just go ahead a replace the digitizer or is it software/firmware related. It seems to be app specific and its always the same spots on specific apps that don't work. Sometimes the phone will work normally depending on how I hold it. Also games do not seem to be affected and pulling down the status bar usually always causes the screen to not respond to touch. How can the screen recognize my touch in 1 app but not recognize the same spot in another app? If anyone has dealt with this before could you please advise me on what to do, thank you.
I am having the exact same problem and my phone is now getting to the point where it is unusable. I took it in to sprint and said listen this isnt just a software thing my touch screen doesnt work. so i left it there for 3 hours to come back and them say... oh it was a software thing we did a hard reset and its fine. and then an hour later it started happening i dont know what to do sprint wont fix it and i have all the insurance and protection plans. I feel like I was railroaded on this pos phone!

Def. Software related, a ported swype keyboard on miui wouldn't work for me, would show up just couldn't use half the bottons, have you calibrated the touch screen any issues with that?

Nevermind, link is down.
I took it into sprint because of the same problem about a quarter of the bottom screen would not respond I didn't have insurance, I did have to unroot it before I took it in, but they swapped it out with no hassle.
They said I was the 3rd person with the same issue? Could be a HTC problem? But my new EVO 3D is running infected eternity ROM no problem

From sleep to lockscreen LCD blank problem,any solution?

Hello.
When I leave my phone in sleep mode (screen locked and light off) and try to wake with On/Off button, sometimes I get a black screen with a faintly image. The touchscreen works and all the buttons, and if you click 2 times On/Off button - the image appears all ok. I tried to flash another stock ROM - all the same. Then I`ve unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone and even did the S-off with wire trick (1.53 Hboot). Then I`ve tried 3-4 custom ROMs with 6-7 different kernels, from stock to custom, but all the same. Yes, I`ve updated the firmware file, also, but with no difference.
Well, I see that this problem is not so usual, but I couldn`t find any real solution. Did anyone have this kind of problem and solved it? Since I got this phone from another country - official warranty is out of the question, I need a DIY solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
THX in advance!!!
I would have to say it looks like the light for your screen is dying, I had my screen replaced once, my screen would flicker from very dark to very bright

hmmmm, but when I get the OK image - it doesn`t flicker or go from dark to bright, it only has trouble to "wake up from sleep mode". even when i relock the screen quickly and don`t leave it unused for 2-3 minutes, the screen works OK every time....it looks like a software problem, but still I didn`t manage to fix it with all the ROMs/kernels/firmwares I`ve flashed....

Thinking about how to troubleshoot if hardware or software. When in sleep mode, instead of using the power button, I would have the phone plugged into a computer and use the " adb reboot " command to reboot the phone without touching the phone a few times and see if it lights up correctly. The first thing you should see is the boot screen, and if it works every time, then you do have an issue with your firmware. If you don't see that boot screen first every time, then as much as it sucks, I would guess there is a hardware issue.
Good luck, but this is the easiest way I know of to help determine what the issue likely is.
Minor update here, the first thing (at least on mine) that I see is the lock screen for just a quick second or two, then it quickly goes into the boot sequence. This is important as in "sleep" the ROM is running, so if the first thing you see is the boot sequence every time, and not the lock screen, then it points more to a software problem than a hardware issue. CM9 had an issue for the epic4g where you had to turn it off and on sometimes to get the keyboard to light. They found the issue in the firmware causing it.
Just wanted to make this as accurate as possible.
Wow so I am not the only person with this problem. The EVO 3D that I have was replacement phone that was given to me from Sprint from the first EVO 3D that I had which had issues with the digitizer. I received the replacement phone this past Tuesday and it worked fine for two days. It was not rooted and I did install the ICS update. On Friday morning I took it off the charger and went to work, while in the break room the screen suddenly went black and I could not get the phone to display anything after that. The Android function buttons at the bottom will light up but the screen wont, the phone also gets hot even with it powered off.
Long story short, I took it back to the Sprint store where they ordered me yet another replacement EVO 3D. Has anyone had to go through 3 EVO 3Ds or more?

Excellent thinking, I didn't think in that direction. I'll try this tomorow, since I'm not at home. My personal oppinion that it's a software problem but if I did all the above - what did I miss? If I flashed the firmware, ROM and kernel, what else is left untouched that could affect the LCD? Could anyone suggest a good kernel? Or can I downgrade the firmware, since no one had such a problem with GB?
just to inform all - I tried all soft solutions, but all the samo. finaly - I replaced the LCD and everything is OK.
THX all for help

[Q] Screen flicker/dims/blacks out issue

Any help much appreciated....I have an issue with my screen flickering, dimming very faint and going black when i touch my screen. sometimes my screen will go black for long periods of time and phone is practically useless. This is not an issue of just a slight flicker on light colored screens that I have read other people describe. The screen does not always do this but is definitely getting more frequent. The flickering/dimming happens when I touch screen and especially when I touch it with more pressure. It also seems to be more sensitive on the bottom half of the screen.
I consider myself as the "scientific type" and have been testing many different scenarios trying to find a rhyme or reason to this happening. The only thing I have found is that if I keep my phone out of my pocket the problem seem to not happen. Then I can put my phone in my pocket for as little as 5 minutes and my screen could be messed up for hours. Everything else about phone seems to work great.
At first I was thinking this was a software issue but now I am leaning towards hardware? I am rooted, unlocked with s-on and cannot send back for warranty. I was running mean Rom for many versions and have also gone back to stock rom and stock kernel and experience same problem. Many reboots and clean installs too. I have also taken phone apart and reconnected all ribbon cables hoping there was a bad connection.
My Evo lte is only 4 months old and has never been dropped nor has it ever been wet. There are no scratches on screen and has been in otter box since the phone was brand new. I am running out of ideas and am I dire need for advice.
Thanks,
Mike

[Q] Backlight faulting

Has anyone else had issues with their back light faulting? I've searched and have seen that other sprint evo lte users have had issues with screen flickering, but my problem seems to be more serious that that. when i wake up in the morning the screen is blank. thank god i have a custrom rom installed and can manually mess with the status bar slider to get the backlight to turn back on. It just needs to be tweaked here and there. the backlight seems to only like to work on full brightness, if not, it will flicker like crazy. if i press with more pressure on certain parts of the screen the backlight turns off completely until i remove my finger. I dont think its a proximity issue since it'll just flicker sitting on a desk. Do I need to replace the screen? is this worth it? i havent dropped to phone or anything for this to default. I can upload a video later. gonna use my OG evo for that which is still kicken by the way
I realize this thread is incredibly old, but did you ever find a solution to the flickering problem? I just started seeing the exact same behavior, including the screen going dark when putting pressure on certain areas of the screen.
Thanks!
I have a PJ75100 doing this, but the screen does not function at all. I get the orange/green light while charging, and if I power it on it acts as if it's doing it's regular startup, but nothing shows on screen.
I did update the stock firmware with the latest release ruu, but still no screen.
I'd really like to get this one going as it's not the normal Jewel, it's the white and silver one, and my girlfriend wants it to replace her iPhone 5c.
