Hi,
I have noticed something strange on my Titan, just when I wanted to reply on an email. I was typing (black letters on the white background in the mail app) and suddenly I saw some strange shadow of the keyboard in the mail I was typing. When I press, let's say the Enter button, I can see the shadow of the Enter button a few inches above the keyboard itself as well. It's hard to explain, but I think it has something to do with the lcd itself. I was wondering if anyone noticed this as well?

I have noticed it numerous times and you will see it more often it you tend to swap from landscape to portraite mode with white background. I don't think any other phone has it. It's just the LCD itself like you said. Why it does it, won't know yet. But you will see it very very often even in apps at times if you keep white background permanently.
Thanx for your reply! I was searching for it on Google and I found somewhere that a few other users of WP7 (on different brands of phones!) have this issue as well... Strange stuff!

Oh haven't come across that on other WP7 bit. But now that you've posted in WP7 general section, probably we will get more insight!
This has been a visible issue on a number of phones since the Mango update. I've noticed it on every Windows Phone I have owned, though it's not enough of a bother to me to get all up in arms about it. Hopefully just a little bug that will be squashed one day.

Funny... I noticed this a few hours ago when I was replying to an email as well... Before reading this thread so not like I was even looking for it

Hey Ive seen issues with people having trouble with the distribution of LEDs on the keyboard with not seeing keys and others to bright and thats not me haha. I was wondering though if anybody knew a registry hack or something that would let the backlight on the keyboard stay on longer than 5 seconds? That is the biggest annoyance of this phone that ive seen so far.

Do a search for a utility called Advanced Config, it has a setting to change the backlight timeout, among a lot of other things. You'll need to have the ARM4i version of ppc .NET 3.5 installed also.
BEWARE: Use the tool at your own risk. Don't turn menu animations and start menu animations on, as it has caused my start menu to go really wonky (all the colors are jumbled and its impossible to read) Turning this off made it behave as expected. Just a warning
Hey thanks man. I didnt even know that setting was in advanced config and ive used since the mogul lol.
Doesnt work
I have tried the tweak in advanced config and nothing changed, has anyone else had luck with this?

This is one of the most annoying things about the TP. Anytime you pause for 5 seconds the keyboard backlight goes off! Grrr!
No kidding. I completely disabled the light sensor on my P4000, it was always on as long as the slider was open. I even watched an hour long episode of top gear while I sat in a Mazda dealership while having an oilchange done on my car.
I too have been equally frustrated with this. With no solution in sight, I think I might have thought of a program that could save our sanity. The only problem is that i've only THOUGHT of it and it doesn't exist yet. I've started a thread in the 'Development and Hacking' section. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490267

I have had the 3vo since monday and on two occasions the screen became unresponsive. While stuck in that condition the 2nd time I noticed the bottom half of the screen was indeed responsive. i navigated that way until the issue disappeared on its own. I then became concerned enough to search out if anyone else was having similar issues. I ran across this while searching for the official htc forum. Basically the EVO 4G and the incredible had the SAME ISSUE.
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/3264.aspx
I have searched htc's site and xda and haven't seen anyone else reporting the same issue on the 3vo. I then called htc support and of course they weren't "aware of the problem on any of those phones".
So I'm thinking of calling it a factory defect and returning the phone for a replacement. Anyone with more info to add?
Edit:
Found this as well.

I can also confirm this. Lasted about a minute. Noticed it after I plugged my headphones in.

It has happened twice to me while trying to search my concact list. I just backed out and opened people again and it worked fine.
What were you running when it was unresponsive?
I believe I was in the launcher. Also, phone was in my hands.
Had the happen 1st time ever tonight. And it was the same...the bottom half was responding and buttons but not the rest of the screen. Can't recall which apps I had open. No headphones though.

Uh oh...... I hope it's a small batch.
It has happened to me too a few time. Usually when i select kill all under task manager.
I've had it happen once or twice, I think both times I was opening a forum thread with lots of embedded images ie a show your screenshot thread.

The phone thinks that the notification menu is "dragged" down and it keeps you from tapping any icons or flipping through the screens.
To solve it without rebooting just pull down the notification menu and slide it back up and everything works fine again.
Definately a bug with Sense 3.0

DEFINITELY not what I saw. I was able to do everything except the top half of my screen was totally unresponsive.
It has randomly happened here too.
Ok i thought I was just crazy, but I have been having the same issue. It has gotten better and haven't had it happen in a while but It's a pain when it does.

You aren't able to click on any of the icons that the "pull down" notification menu would be blocking until you "repull" down the notification menu and slide it back up.
I was just offering how I was able to "workaround" the issue on my phone.
If this doesn't work for you, fine.. I was just trying to help with the experiences I have had.

Sorry. No animosity intended.
Same here..
Able to do everything except the top half of my screen was totally unresponsive.
And also the back button (capacitive button) is not bright enough as others (Home, Menu, Search).
Already sent to HTC for the screen replacement, but have to wait till next week because the screen no stock..
- Reboot the phone does fix the problem, but it will happen again & again..
- Already performed hard reset as requested by HTC cust service rep, but same thing happened within 24 hours, in clear system.
Unrooted EVO 3D..
I also experience touch screen problems, i just turn the screen off and back on and it works again for a short period of time.
Sup everyone,
Loving the GS3 so far. Whole new experience after using iPhone for yrs. I have a couple questions.
1. Sending a long text ends up as being a MMS(stupid). Is there anyway to split the texts? My brother owns a HTC ONE X and when he sends a long text it gets sent in separate messages?
2. Whilst being on the phone, if I receive a call(call waiting) or text message or even press buttons the other person can hear it all down the phone. Is there a way to disable this?
3. I have taken off auto brightness. Now when I'm in the home screen/menu the phone is nice and bright (I have it set to maximum brightness). However if Into browse the screen goes really dimm to a point where I can't see. I even try tapping the screen it doesn't go bright unless I go back into the home screen?
Will appreciate the replies. Thanks

I wasn't sure but if you meant when you launch the "web browser" the screen goes dim then I would check the brightness settings of the browser. If this is anything like my old Note there was a seperate brightness setting tied to the browser itself.

yes this is very stupid! install GO SMS or CHOMP SMS from the play shop and use that instead
I recently moved from a fried Sprint Epic 4G to the new Evo. Fully stock, I've noticed that there is a momentary screen flash of... something (can't quite make out what it is, it's so quick) while typing a text message in landscape mode. This is true even on my current ROM (MeanROM ICS 4.2). As far as I can tell, there aren't any strange pauses or whatnot, and it doesn't matter what keyboard I use (stock HTC or Swiftkey 3). First - does anyone else have this problem? And second, has anyone successfully solved it? It's more maddening than anything else, as I can keep typing my texts just fine after it happens (like once every 5-15 words).
Thanks
Just did a landscape test. Didn't notice any flashes on the screen. Not sure where Im suppose to be looking. Fully Stock

Same issue here using swiftkey but in portrait mode. Its like the keyboard flashes real quick.
Yep same here. Imma SwiftKey user as well. Beenn seeing this for sometime now. No explanation for it either

Same here... SwiftKey on two phones, EVO Lte and GS3 does it on both.
Stock swypes been doing it for me in portrait mode as well. It looks like the screen is tearing over the keyboard with part of it getting garbled.
Redraw issue, might be something in the HTC framework
Ok, seems like I'm not the only one. Also, I've noticed it comes more often right as a text is incoming in the messaging app. The problem seems to persist across some keyboards and across some phones, but not others. Smells like a simple ICS issue.
Now, howbout the screen backlight flickering issue during onscreen grays and while looking at photos in the Gallery? I'm thinking of switching out my phone in the Sprint store tomorrow.
I've also started running in to this lately. For me it's only been happening with SwiftKey in portrait mode, and only in the messaging app, haven't had issues with this anywhere else.
Hello everyone,
Today I was checking my phone and I noticed this big oval spot at the bottom left of the screen.. It only appeared in the morning, but I never seen it before! It's like it came all of a sudden! VERY STRANGE ON AN OLED SCREEN!
it's not visible at all on a pitch black background, but only on light colors like white, gray...etc check the attached photos below !
anyone have or had same issue on their Xperia 1? and if anyone knows what caused it to appear and if its gonna be permanent or if it will disappear by the time?
Please let me know in the comments!
thanks for your contribution and help!
Since you are using the gesture mode. I believe it's something with the sideswipe rather than screen/display problem.

yes, since i got the phone which is 1 year and 3 months I've been using gesture swipe option.. do you think it's a software rather than hardware?
Yes. I think it's software.
In my phone, I sometimes see that the clicked gesture keeps showing in the back button.
I have seen it many times.
I guess it's similar to what mine was in yours too.
.... and it exactly looks like you are going back from the app or menu.
Maybe you can try using the two-finger or 3 classic types to check.

do you still see your spot or it's completely disappeared as it never been there?
also, have you tried to factory reset your phone and see if it's software or hardware?
thanks for keeping up!
It's gone but appears sometimes.
Mine disappears by pressing the power button, or back key or recent apps.
