So I'm getting my girlfriends fascinate from her since she got an Incredible 2. The only little problem is the screen doesn't work. A little background on the problem. She woke the phone up and the screen no longer displayed all of the picture. Very little of it can be seen and it is discolored. The actual touch screen works though, you can unlock the phone if you can navigate the lock screen. The phone was dropped in water a week prior to this however it still worked fine up until the screen problem. Does this sound like just replacing the screen would fix the problem or do you think there's a deeper problem?

So I made the jump from Android (Nexus One) to the Radar and I really like it so far!
I do, however, have an issue with the phone that I am wondering if anyone else has noticed.
I have noticed that sometimes when I go to touch a tile(or other UI object)...if I quickly touch it, it seems that the screen doesn't always detect my touch. Sometimes I'll even hit it a couple of times before it responds.
The behavior is inconsistent though. After it smartens up and responds to my touch, then it seems to detect it fine. It's squirrelly and a little disconcerting.
I also think that the region of the screen might have something to do with it. The tile 2nd from the top on the home screen ("messaging" in my case) seems particularly susceptible to this problem.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm a little paranoid because I bought this phone "new" from someone on CL and when I took it home I realized it was a refurbished model.
I had this problem when I had my 7 Pro. After a while it got worse, as I had to put the phone on standby and then turn it on again to be able to use the screen. I sent it in to HTC for repair, and they swapped the entire front panel with a new one.
Im having the same problem with my sprint arrive I think the problem is related to what is in this thread:

but I still cant seem to get it to work
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
Hello All,
I have a serious problem: Today I cleaned my htc evo 3d's display with glass cleaner,
but I took too many drops and swiped with a cloth arround the display. So after a minute, the display began to flicker and then it went black.
Not the colour black, I mean that the light got entirely disabled. But I noticed, that the touchscreen and everything else is still working fine (I got vibrations: for example unlocking the lockscreen) .
So what are my options?
I still have warranty left but the device is unlocked and I see no way to relock it while the display is off.
I'd appreciate your help!
Hello,
I got a really weird issue with my samsung galaxy s5(SM-G900F). Out of nowhere my screen wont display anything anymore when i booted it this morning.
I did let it fall like 2 months ago and has a little crack but only in the top layer and nothing happened last night to my phone, no water damage either( also since its waterproof).
Even though i cant see anything, its still responsive. I've tested it with Vysor( screen mirroring software). Now the weird thing is that in Vysor first of all the resolution is messed up, and the region of my android seems to be horizontal in the top of my screen, with left being the top and the right side being the bottom. I've tested this by simply touching the screen in my lock screen and seeing where the bubbles would pop up.
[cant post image links apparently because i dont have 10 posts. can i add an attachment somehow?]
Additional information: My phone is rooted since a few days and I had installed xposed framework, didnt boot after that so uninstalled it in recovery mode and that was the end of that, was working fine again. Since then i had already rebooted many times without problems. Also sometimes when i restart i see a thin horizontal line in the top of my screen flickering for about 0.2 sec. Led, buttons and sound are all working fine.
Anyone seen this problem before and what could be the fix? I'd rather keep re-installing the firmware as a last resort as I can still use WhatsApp in my browser(my main communication method) and also not get my screen repaired for €150 untill im sure about the cause.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys,
when my phone is in charge at 100%, after some minutes it start to flickering when there is at least an orizontal black line and a white part, for example if there are 2 notifications there is an orizontal black line that separates the two notifications, right? The white part of the notification start to flicker. I tried to hard reset and nothing changed, and also got my display replaced and nothing changed (huawei customer service said they will replace the mb, but idk if this will solve my issue).
Anyone have this issue or it's really a faulty mb ? I tried searching online but it seems that no one have this problem.
I'll upload later a video that will show my issue...
Have you dropped the phone? Even from a small height it could cause problems.
My old p10 plus fell out of trouser pocket and hit the inside of door panel but was enough to cause screen flicker.
I had a hairline crack in digitiser/screen.
It only showed when screen brightness was on low or if phone was cold.
Got the screen replaced and was ok after.

I dropped my phone only 1 or 2 times and always with protection, but even after the display replacement the problem didn't solve. It only flicker when it's in charge and already at 100% and when I unplug the charger, it stop. I noticed this problem only after I got my display replaced for the gluegate... but even after a second replacement nothing changed. I hope after the mb replace, my phone stops to flicker.
I have the same flickering problem with my Mate 20 Pro and have never dropped my beloved smartphone. For as of right now, the current (.232) update may have resolved the issue but it's only been a day since the patch. I will see how it goes.
edit: nope, even after the (9.0.0.232) software update, the flickering issue still remains as the original poster has described.
