Broken screen? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Accidentally sat on the flyer (I'm not fat, my butt just isn't tablet friendly) and now I have a discolored area in the middle of the screen that doesn't go away when the screen is off. Also, the touchscreen is wonky around there. I broke it, didn't I?

Search the posts. There are a few possible fixes here.

Sounds like you had the same problem I did. Go to this thread and read through some of the fixes. The suction cup worked the best for me

You're right, it did work! I appreciate it. Maybe there should be a sticky on this issue...

I did the same thing but I just waited and eventually it went away.

[Q] screen lag and skipping Swype while charging Flyer

Dear all, I've an annoying problem with my flyer.it becomes lagging and can't Swype well while I plug this unit to a wall charger not USB cable. Do anyone experiencing the same problems? What is the solution? This problem is happen to some other gadget to beside flyer, (find it while googling to find solution).

I've had this same problem. It started the exact same way yours is acting. (glitchy touchscreen when plugged in) and then it started getting worse. Now my touchscreen doesn't work at all (plugged in or not). I've Googled it and it appears my digitizer has gone bad or something like that.
Have you recently sat on your flyer or anything ?

Hi.Gumby..I've also complaint it to the store but he showed me something, he turn on the tube light on his display store and put my flyer near it.and it showed me some massive electric jerk on my touch test application.he said it happened because of bad electric installation which is not properly grounded. In the mean time I accept that reasoning but I'll keep looking more reasonable answer.

I've seen this happen to many devices, not just the flyer/view. Most often I see it with chargers plugged into car outlets. I've even seen it on an iPad ( and got into a huge argument over whether an iPad sync cable is the same as an iPhone sync cable, they are, but the dude swore up and down it was because he was using the wrong cable).
If the power source is glitchy or spikey, this will happen. An improperly grounded outlet could easily do it.
Hi, quickquest..thanks for the advice..I think that's the reason behind this lag.now i'm trying to figure out how to make my outlet have a proper grounding

Ice Stream

Just came across this app. Not perfect, yet an amazing streaming app for movies, tv shows, etc. Worth checking out
Old app no longer works. Updates can be found here. Not perfect, allot of links don't work. Most recents do

Since finding the app I have watched 3 movies and 3 episodes of dexter from the most recent serries. I am using the free trail of v player as it appears to support the most formats. Will likely pay the $5 for full version if I do not find a better replacement. Some streams don't work, some are choppy, but all in all the amount of content is amazing.
Maybe there are better options out there that do the same, but for me this has quickly become my favorite must have app
Anyone know what happened to the app for the View in the market? I upgraded to HC, then back to GB and during that time it vanished! Can anyone provide the apk? Thanks

I think they removed it from the market for piracy reasons. It reads its info from icefilms. I love that site between that one and mrbrownee70 I don't need cable TV. Since most of the links are megavideo links you can just use megastream and click the link from the browser on the main site and it will stream the video for you.

I've been using this with several different media players over the past few days. When I launch it, it plays the 1st video with no problem. If the 1st video is interrupted or finishes and I move on to a second, it always says the video file cannot be played. I figured out that if I toggle the wifi off and back on again that it will play the next file on a consistent basis.
Does this make any kind of sense as to why this is necessary?
When it's working properly the app is awesome.
It is a bit tempermental. Part of the issues comes from problems with megaupload

Seems to work well with Rockplayer Lite.

Any idea if this app will work now that MU is down?

Most links are gone. There is some stuff left but it is diminished greatly. Still nice to have and I am sure over time it will repopulate, but mu being closed down was a gigantic hit. It is also a scary foreshadow of things to come.

I see there are fewer links... but none of them seem to load with the app anymore, so I assume the app was limited to accessing MU only?
not certain and I do nto have my flyer on me at the moment. take a look at mobilevids.org though.
Most icefilms links are mega

I loved this but gave up on It when I noticed nothing was working. But today I decided to Google why and found this this. While there aren't nearly as many movies/shows/ect like there was when I first discovered the application, I'm pleasantly surprised on the improved functionality and smoothness of how everything plays. Also when loading a link up. It would sometimes take over a minute before it would begin, now its just a few seconds.
Thank you for this.

Search Button Half Lit On Boot Up

Discaimer: I'm apologizing in advance of this seems like a stupid question or post.
I noticed that my search button partly illuminates when I first turn on my phone if it's completely off. Once the phone is fully booted and my home screen comes on all of the other buttons light up properly as well as the search button.
It just seems a little odd, but isn't causing any problems. Anyone else have this? I'm just hoping it's not a sign of potential hardware problems. (Yes I have insurance but enjoy full root with hboot 1.4)

Mine too. I was always kinda curious about whether it was common or not, but it never really bothered me too much
Yes, its normal. They should have got that fixed before finalizing this model.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Mine is the same way as well. It's a light leakage. If I use one of the kernels with dim LEDs, my buttons look like ass because of this. Most people can lower their value to 2 (in ..../button-backlight/currents), while I can only lower mine to 14 before it starts looking dumb.
Mine is most prominent when in recovery. Only time I notice it.

Cool, thanks for all the replies. Happy to know it's common.
By the way it's nice to see some fellow Evo/Hero guys in here. I recognize Leukay and Tailsthecat from one of those 2 forums. Don't know you guys personally but nice to see you in here. Actually I think I recognize Rydah803 and Ducky1131 too so good to see you all here.

I've noticed this too. It does make the phone look like crap when the LEDs are off.
It's light "bleed" from the screen to the search button. it most visible in recovery, probably because your screen is completely white and it's easy to see the white light bleed.
Kinda sad that HTC didn't fix this issue before releasing the phone.. Cheap internal build quality, perhaps?
I think it may be due to the fact that they used some sort of clear plastic to put together the inside. If you open the batterycover you can see what I'm talking about.

I got it too and my phone is a recently assembled device on one of the latest h boot builds. Doubt this will be fixed so i guess we live with it...
Same with me I thought only i have that issue.
Seems like HTC did a bad job in this area. I also have hardware build 0002 so I guess it's an issue with that build.

HTC flyer pen with leedroid

I am using the leedroid flyer rom and I've come to use my pen and found out its not working. The flyer isn't detecting its there.
I've looked through forums and I've checked leedroids pages but can't find any fixes. If there is please tell me or help me find some answers.
Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
I am using Leedroid and use the Fujitsu digitized pen - no issues . Did it ever work ? Did you try a new battery in the pen ?
I'm pretty sure the pen works fine with Lee's build, but I'll confirm when I get home tonight.
The ROM works with the pen. Try a new battery or sometimes just taking the battery out and re installing it in the pen will make it work again.
It's probably your battery
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using Tapatalk 2
Cheers guys I've got the pen working now. I just panicked because I checked Lee's list and it didn't say the pen was working or wasnt. I can confirm it was a battery issue.

Bar on htc amaze screen no response.

I have this small section on my HTC amaze that doesn't respond to touch. If I touch thus section, it detects it as touching down or up, not exactly on the spot wanted. Is it a defective screen, or a software issue. I'm on stock 4.0.3 3.6 sense.
