Alright so recently my Prophet has been causing the problem as stated in teh topic.
If I put it in sleep mode (screen off) and leave it like that for a while, on wakeup I get a white screen ... after many retrys, it somehow gets back to nromal, occasionaly going white in white out before stabilizing. Once the screen is stable and working, it pretty much never bothers me.
Im using some updated ROMs (WM 6.5) ...
Any idea if this is a hardware fault or a software/driver problem ?

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
I did search for this issue, but didn't find anything that matched my issue.
I have the latest Mighty Rom for Touch Pro. It's been working beautifully until recently. I usually keep my phone in my pocket with the screen turned off (locked). I've noticed lately that the screen keeps turning on without any interaction. I've gone through configurations to turn off screen blink for notifications and it still keeps coming on. This is driving me nuts, as it's draining my battery much more than it would if the screen would just stay off until I turned it on.
Any suggestions?

Do you have BT on? It could be that it is waking up because of communication between the device and a BT device.
Also will wake up when switching radio antennas. Maybe you are in a low coverage zone?
Wish I saw this thread before I posted this:

Sorry about that.
I have the exact problem. But I've had it with multiple ROMs, and even the stock Sprint ROM (original, and even after the firmware update). I've been suffering with this "wake up" for well over a year now. Pissing me off.
To answer the questions above:
No, I do not have bluetooth on.
I have a strong 3-bar signal at all times (3 bars under WM 6.5). The ANT is less than 500 feet from me, up on a water tower. My phone even has a clear line-of-sight to the ANT!!!
I have same isue!!!
Same exact issue, it's been going on since the day I bought the phone, when it came out. I gave up on trying to fix it
Hi,
I have a touch screen problem with seems like if the screen "feels" a non-existing touch so that when I actually touch it with my finger it activates pinch-zoom mode.
The problem appeared after I left a phone on a shelf switched off for about 1.5 month waiting for a new battery to arrive. When I switched it on with a new battery the mess started.
Tried the old battery, factory reset. The problem persists, sometimes right after boot, sometimes 1-2 min after boot.
From searching the forum I understand the most common problem with Hero screen it bottom freeze, but that's not my case and I couldn't find problems similar to mine.
Thanks for help in advance.
My friend has a desire x and has the screen flickering issue. Is this software related? should she update her desire x ?
Always better to check with service center...
Settings, development options, turn off strict mode and show screen updates...

I had similar problem with the screen that when I touched anywhere on the screen a shadow appeared on the center of screen similar when someone press a TFT LCD screen with a finger.
I have returned it back and got a new one without similar problem.
Although I have seen the same problem (but with the shadow at one of the edges) on a demo DX device.
Hi or so that you have the DX screen by pressing a finger to the screen as he swam like a laptop screen ??????
I have another flickering issue...
I've never mentioned anything wrong when touching the screen, but I've noticed that when the brightness is at low levels, the screen will flicker (like that) if the background is set at (light) dark colors.
I had never seen this happening with any of previous smartphones, so I'm gonna sent it back to htc (for this and the hiss issue) after finishing my exams and I'll report back.
Exactly, but I had this in the middle of the screen not matter where I pressed on the screen. And it was of course more obvious on dark or grey backgrounds.
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.
