Hi Guys ,
I searched every where but all i could find was that Motorola Atrix 4G has some technical error / hardware failure that many of the devices have face a problem with a non-working screen portion in the LCD , Has anyone over come this , atleast by replacing the touch screen.
Also , my volume down button is not working . I am not sure if its a hardware fauilure coz i can enable fast boot protocol while the phone boots.
I had theses issues before the phone was rooted or the bootloader was unlocked , which left me empty handed.
Only thing I had done was an OTA update 2.3.6 , but buy the time i got this phone the OTA update was done and these issues were there and i didnt identify them at that point
Please advise ...
Thanks !!!

I'm havving the same problem! Some parts of the touch screen stopped working after updating to the 2.3.6, but i did'nt do it OTA, I did via RDS lite
Digitizer borked.
Had exact same issues on two different atrixes....phone was still under warranty..returned to store a month before warranty got a new one..a month later, out of warranty the volume down stop working,...if u are out of warranty( most likely)...you have to replace digitizer....the volume button u have to do without it, I use notification toggles app to control volume from status bar...
You can find both digitizers and camera flex cables (that include vol buttons) on ebay for cheap

Sorry guys..I think this is my first post here..I tried to make I resarch on my prob but I haven't find nothing similar (correct me if I am wrong..)
By the way I was using Dutty crem de la crem for a month with no prob after that the following issue came up:
Once my phone is on if I keep it pressed the power off button the page with power,lock screen or terminate data options show up but at this point the touch screen is freeze doesn't work...only thing I can do is repressed the power button, switch off the screen and re and press for example the "answering" button and I can unlock the phone (in this case the touch screen is operable)
Same thing if is the phone is in locked and I press the power off button I can not operate the touch screen (and unlock the phone) and again...only thing I can do is repressed the power button, switch off the screen and re and press for example the "answering" button and I can unlock the phone (in this case the touch screen is operable).
I tried the following:
-change the rom to last energy and dutty v11,change couple of time the radio version, format the memory card,operate the phone without sim card and memory card but no change.
Last I installed the original rom from HTC...and still the problem persist...I start to think is something related to the hardware..could be???
Any idea?
Other question why after I installed the original rom I can still see the hspl 2.08 if I switch on the phone keeping the volume down?
Thx guy!

it has to be hardware if the problem occurs with different roms / radios. (a different though similar problem happened with me- eventually it all stopped working.) i would try to return it...
no matter what rom you have you can enter bootloader (like you said with volume down) and see what spl (or hspl) you have. if you flashed the original rom from your pc hspl will still be there; if you flashed from your sd card it is likely back to spl.
cheers.
yep it's a hardware problem. i know because this just happened to me last week, except that the start menu would pop up instead... i did multiple hard resets but nothing. t-mobile said it's a common issue with our phones though your the only other case of this happening that i know of... other than me lol. you'll have to get a new leo
so if I have properly understood your verdict is to flash original rom from the SD and return the phone to HTC get it fixed (it is obviously still under warranty!!),,,right?
How strange.
My HD2 has just started to do the exact same thing. When WinMo boots the screen works fine but when it has been in standby and i press a key to waken it up, the screen does not respond.
I have done a hard reset also and it is still not playing up.
Looks like i'll need to call the insurance company.

yes.
flashing from the sd should get rid of the hspl so all should be back to normal (i would double check though with a quick launch into bootloader...)
good luck!
damn I have the same issue right now. i thought it might have been a bad rom that i flash. i have to reset my phone every time i want to you use it. I cracked my screen so I don't know if that would void any mfg warranty on it.
Sent my handset to HTC on 8th Sept. Got it back on 28th Sept with new screen and new outer case which had a few chps and scratches.
All working fine again. Long time to wait tho. A day off 3 weeks
I am having this exact same problem. I had a feeling it was the hardware after it started doing it in Windows as well as Android. If we didn't purchase the insurance from T-mobile do we send the phone back to HTC via our T-Mobile store. I have had the phone for about 6 months now. Is it a costly fix?
Hello xda friends!
Yesterday i left my optimus battery go to a full discharge, later when it was on full charge i noticed that the search physical button backlight was gone...just the menu, home and back physical buttons are lit.
I`m on LOL v2, but i don't know if it's a rom related issue.
Also the touchscreen have one stuck pixel, and the anoying dust problem.
Someone has experienced to lose physical buttons backlights?
Time to ask for Warranty?
Uhhhh , I think you should first reinstall a stock firmware through KDZ ( that should also get rid of custom recovery me thinks ... not sure , you might want to considers asking other about this as well ) .
But either way , yeah I think you should go into warranty with your phone. But don't forget to send it in it's most stock form

man i'm sorry , but you have bricked Screen !
Hi
What do you want to do?
If your screen is broken, you could "do" something via ADB, but not so much.
PERHAPS you could delete your lockscreen (you can do, search), make the device boot wisthout sim cadr (=no pin), install (adb install) something like airdroid or similar (i do not know such apps), launch it (inside ADB with "am" + something) and hope you can "use" your phone via PC.
Ok looks more like SCI-FI!

My friend has a Mini Pro with broken lcd , he broke it 6 months back but he still manages to use till now with out any problem....
try flashing custom kernel and a new ROM , If that doesnt help.... u have to go to customer care..
Re:all
thanks all, but i'm sure that lcd is fine (maybe), because, before that (suddenly restart) my phone is allready fine with all function normally (although my lcd is broken but touch function is normal). until restart happen, my phone was not start up again. in lcd i see blank, no logo and anything. just vibrate 2 times. in that condition i think, i can make a call for test but the warning from sim operator said that my phone was turn off.

for Publiuss, i hope you can give me tutorial how to controllling my phone via pc in condition my phone like now.
maybe use the usb cable to know that my phone (until flashing rom or kernel) was working or not, and if i can getting that, means, my phone trouble in lcd.
i will keep out for cust care if i can solving my trouble by self, because maybe if i have to go cust care they will charge me cost not much different with new buying this phone.

Well Man i say is not software problem. If you flash stock firms, custom roms and kernels you manipulate all the system if the phone dont turn on is a ardware problem. Search a tuto how to open you phone and see if dont have nothing wrong. The conection screen "flex".you see all ok buy a new screen on eBay. Try. After all that phone is very important for you.
Press thnks if I helped to your mind.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
actually i had the exact same (or similar) problem after 6 months of ownership.
1) broken screen, dropped phone several times, everything still works no trouble
2) random restarts
3) boot problems, restarts got more frequent
4) can no longer boot, only a lit black screen, no SE logo
Does that sound familiar?
I understand it could be a HW problem but the only thing I can think of is the digitaliser/screen. Try to replace that and see far you get, you can find a replacement cheap from ebay (they come free with tools) and also disassembly guides are on ifixit
please post your results!!
Mini Pro screen is really vulnerable, so even a little defect can cause further issues.
I had a Mini Pro which its screen cracked when I dropped it, it was fully functionable for weeks then one Friday touchscreen didn't response anymore.
I visited a technician and paid about 4,000 Philippine pesos to get it fixed.
Second defect happened after I came back to Korea, when I dropped it toward the wooden frame of my bed.
At first the screen had several purple horizontal lines, then soon it completely blacked out.
It still exists inside my drawer, and since I loved its keypad, I recently ordered $20 screen set in Aliexpress.
I have a question: Did you fix your device after writing this thread? Was the problem related only with the screen?
Goodnight everyone .
Look my situation .
Bought an S4 i9500 the week of release in the U.S., at the end of last year the outer glass cracked a few weeks later I was replacing the screen with the technique of the " hair dryer " and ended up damaging the underside of the touch . The phone continued to function normally , with the exception of the bottom that was damaged . I bought a screen in mercadolibre of a seller with 100 % positive rating and over 300 sales , having exchanged the screen , the LCD showed the images perfectly , but the touch does not respond to touches of my fingers . I sent the screen back , he said the screen was fine, but he sent me a new one and the problem remains the same . Detail , with the old screen ( original ) I can feel the touch works, since the cell responds with vibration error when the default password . According to detail , my phone is rooteado with " Cooface CMM recovery 3.0 " .
What do you think it might be?
Some incompatible hardware or software of the LCD screen with cooface firmware or the database itself from the phone?
Some hardware defect motherboard ? Even working with the original touch screen damaged ?
What do you think it might be? Thank you!

I did the "factory reset/wipe data", is not the same?
Is there a chance to be a hardware problem? In motherboard?
Thank you.

I would try starting from scratch with 100 % stock by Odin flashing full wipe tar of the same bootloader version you are on...you would again have to root and get recovery back...may fix it by just flashing...but the stock ROM has all the debugging tools and utilities to possibly recalibrate touch...I think on stock ROM there is a mode that allows you to calibrate all touch related and also test hard buttons...

If it says its for i9500 then it should work...if you have networks issues you may have to change apns to fit the service for your area/network
Hi everybody i am asking for advice on trying to repair a phone for a family member the phone is a galaxy alpha F variant UK stock rom, factory unlocked and unrooted the problem started after finishing a call the handset was left un attended and when it was later picked up the screen was black but does not appear broken aywhere and does not appear to respond to touch
i have tried un successfully to get it into recovery or download modes the handset turns on and the blue lights come on and you can hear the start up tone but see nothing on screen, it also charges and i have tried a new battery, odin does recognise a device but as i cant get it into download i cant flash a stock rom which i have already downloaded.
So my question is, is there any software that i can download to diagnose whether or not the screen is dead or whether it is a f/w issue or is there a way around this where i can use a different tool to get into the handset and flash a new stock rom in case the current f/w is corrupted
Thanks in advance for any useful help and advice
Please understand that i am a newb to this so if i have made some mistakes or my questions have been answered elsewhere previously i do apologise
I think it seems pretty obvious that the problem is the display itself
Hi BigHands,
I faced a problem having the exact same symptoms as yours twice in the last few month: screen was staying black but phone reacted to some "external" actions (ON/OFF), blue light.
Not sure what happened exactly, but removing the battery and trying to restart the phone finally brought the device back to life after trying more than than 10 times!!!
So in my case, the display was probably not the (only) root cause.
Really weird however that I needed to reboot the phone >10times to make it work: usually when software is screwed either one single power cycle will bring the device back to life or it will never power up again!
Anyways, a FW issue is still a possibility considering the number of bug this phone has (for the price it was sold, that phone is definitely the worse gadget I ever owned!)... But it seems there is a bunch of FW updates on going on this model accross the world, so there is still a little hope things might improve... Samsumg may have woken up; who knows...
