Hello all! ive searched for this subject and only found results on another site, but he ended up replacing the phone. Im sorry if this is in the wrong area but im pretty sure its right ha, anyways. My fascinate for about a year now has lines and flickers like crazy until i physically twist the unit and it will go back to normal. Im wondering before i try, if i open it up and mess with the ribbon that connects the screen if that would help or if i need a replacement screen, i found one for a little more than a hundred bucks! totally alot haha. anyways, lemme know if you have any suggestions. thanks in advance!
time to upgrade to a new device...i sold my fascinate linke new for 85.00. So yea I wouldnt waste over 100.00 on a new screen.
Dammit droidstyle I would have bought that I need another phone mine is starting too go out and die

Got my replacement phone from t mobile and noticed that its a lot bulkier, when I hold my original vibrant its pretty thin and weighs nothing, but this new vibrant is a little heavier and a little bigger, wonder if they are built different?
In your head.

I have the Vibrant from launch date.... I have tried about every ROM that has come out for our phone, and I have NEVER had ANY issue.
#Fail (SIX Vibrants???)
I got my Vibrant from T-Mobile corporate the week prior to the launch (long story) and I've flashed more firmwares than I've had hot dinners.
so im worng meaning i just got smarter unbrickin my phone at 6th time , sorry for missleading information !
Every now and then when I activate the screen to unlock my Rezound I get a blue screen. Sometimes it's a split screen and others it's the whole screen. It flickers back and forth between the unlock screen and the blue screen.
Sometimes after maybe 15 seconds it just goes back to normal. Other times if I turn the screen off, it will turn back on just fine.
Has anyone else had this issue? What was the solution?
Here's a video I made of it happening. Sorry it's sideways I had to use my DInc

return it asap. my friends does the same thing but she's a dumbass and won't let me swap it out for her at the store because she's lazy lol

Had a similar problem with my DInc. Didn't deal with it early, and it came to be a real problem. Take it back ASAP.
I have that problem too once in a while, not that big of a deal yet.

Have you tried a factory reset? I would guess that is a software bug.

Just got my Rezound last week and just experienced this blue screen exactly how you described, any ideas why this happens? I pretty sure i'm going to exchange it for a new one but just wondering what the cause is...
Does anyone know if this is a hardware issue or a software issue? I've had it happen three times now, and I'm wondering if I should call VZW for a replacement before it's too late and I have to settle for a refurb POS.

So wait, if we work at the store, we could just swap our **** out whenever **** happens, instead of waiting 3 days for a refurb?
Damn, makes me hope I get the job even more now, lol
nah lol my store has a 2 week return policy..if it's a defective unit, we swap it out for them, and send the defective one right back to verizon.
My first one did that too occasionally... About 5 times in the second month of owning it... And then one day the screen just never turned back on.
Return it.
I would take that back. As many have said, it could lead to more serious problems down the line. Give the Verizon rep a link to your youtube video.

I called them this morning and they are sending me a new one out. I hope it doesn't cause an issue that I unlocked it. I'm going to flash back to gb and relock it, but I guess I should have waited.

I thought this had something to do with the ROM. i remember i have seen it before... i think it was on my Dinc as soon as sense 3.0 roms came out and eventually it got worked out so i think it is just a bug.
It did it the first time with me on stock gb. But it has happened twice since then on nils business.

I just bought one used but looks brand new cosmetically and I've had it less than 24 hours it's happened 4 or 5 times already. So I'm sending it back. As for a cause only thing that comes to mind is maybe it's the result of somebody overclocking the piss outta it and now the GPU is permanently damaged, although some people in other forums claim the same thing has happened to brand new phones as well so who knows...

hmm, never overclocked my rezound and I get it occasionally. There were a couple of stock ics kernels that had this problem pretty severely. I would update it first and see if that resolves it.

It's still on GB but I'll try that.. Do you happen to know what the latest stock GB software number is? Mine is on 2.01.605.11 I don't have a sim card at the moment so I can't check if it's fully updated till I get one. Thanks

dev section should have all the stock roms, I would probably flash the newest GB stock ROM, RUU would be best to make sure it isn't a software problem.
the bottom 2 mm of my sprint evo 3d is not working right. by that, i mean that its sorta uncalibrated. my phone is rooted and it was normal until yesterday. now, if i put my finger on the bottom to mms of the screen then it claims it to be higher that it is.
for example, the dev options gives me a screen pointer overlay option and if i have my phone on the very bottom possible it says its at 888.5 on the Y. my finger trace is followed but higher.
thats a really bad explanation so ill try using a picture from paint
http://imgur.com/lAR48
any questions (i know i did i bad job of explaining it, but its hard to explain.. for me atleast) just ask..
thanks,
colin
That is the most funny drawing I've ever seen. LOL!!!! However, must give you some points for the try. lol *gives you a Thanks point for making me laugh*
haha thanks
my photoshop trial ended a month ago so im making due on paint for this
but i think im just gunna take it in to sprint... i already flashed an ruu and unrooted and got s-on... on the bright-side hopefully ill get a new phone!
same thing happened to my phone. took it to a sprint repair store they told me to come bak in 2 hrs i did and they replaced my phone with a refurb. unfortunatly my refurb is also borked and will restart whenever i connect to wifi. anyways best of luck to u =)
uh oh. i hope i dont get one of those... i never turn wifi off! :O
i plan on re-rooting or rooting whatever phone i get, so hope its not messed up and is in good condition...
you think theyll give me a refurbed white one if i ask?
They originally told me that they didn't have any refurbs at the store and would have to order one but theymagically found one...
I called sprint and complained and they helped me out with a loop hole to get a new phone a year ahead of time and I got the s3. I wasn't dealing with any more crap phones from them even tho they say they r HTC certified

Maybe the digitizer? If it's under warranty, take it to sprint. If not, you can get one on eBay not to pricey.

Hello guys im a long time lurker here, but this is my first time posting.. sadly for some reason my xt910 went down on me today, the screen cracked just by having it in my pants, and it seems the lcd is broken and the touch interface too.. im goint to take it to my provider for a warranty but since they most surely will wipe it off clean when they replace the screen, i wanted to backup my data.. notes, pictures etc.. i have everything saved in my phone memory ( the rest is on my sd, safe and sound).. the thing is... how do i access the data on my phone with the screen like that? i cant access through my PC because i cant unlock the screen..
any ideas? please help...
Try plugging it into your PC and see if the drive shows up. Should give you access. Sorry if you've already tried this.
Pardon my ignorance. I didn't read the last line.

Yeah already tried that, thanks anyway man...
I wonder if tere is a way maybe through motocast? i dunno..
Just an ideo,but how about telling them about that or leaving a sticky note on your phone ??

Well i just came back from my Provider offices aaand... they will let me know in 7 days if and how theyll fix it and if i approve by then they will wipe all the info.. i tried to tell them not to.. but its useless, narrow minded people are all around here in Mexico..
So i have those 7 days to figure out a way.. and try to get everything back.. still from the estimate amount they told me i will have to pay (300 dlls) for the screen replacement i doubt i will go on with it.. for less than that i can get another high end phone.. and i guess ill wait until the screen replacement for this one drops to an affordable 100 dlls..
Ive seen in alibaba.com that they have it for 100 dlls now.. but im not sure.. have you guys ever tried using that site?

I was running GE Rom 4.2.2 on my S4. Everything was great, until my girlfriend put my S4 in the washer with the clothes.. I let it sit in rice for a couple days and now everything works, except i have no signal at all. I have the circle with a line through it. I have tried multiple tutorials on how to possibly fix this issue but none have helped. I have been trying to go through asurion so I can get the replacement, but I don't have a printer at home to fill out the affidavit. Plus my work hours are crazy...Anyways does anyone know how to fix the signal issue?
Dude, if your signal is not working after putting your phone through the WASHING MACHINE, there's water damage to the phone. Unless you replace the motherboard in the phone, there's nothing you can do. Go to a library, print off the stuff you need, and get a new phone.

Wow! Why didn't I think of that?! Although your answer did not help me one bit I appreciate you throwing in your 2 cents. Maybe I work an upwards of 70 hours a week and usually during the day. Plus EVERYTHING else on the phone works, so why couldnt it be a simple software issue? Instead of telling me what I already know (need to get another phone), you could have nicely told me there isn't anything I can do. I apologize if this comes off as "a**holish" but you aren't helping, and instead just throwing out a random response. I was just looking for a part time solution until I do get my replacement as I NEED my phone for my job. Again thanks for at least replying.

What version of the GE edition rom are you running? I at one time ran it and had issues. Before you do anything else try flashing another ROM. Also you could try to get another Sim card. Besides that I would say let it sit in rice again.

You could try flashing back to stock that would/should eliminate software issues. If its a no go then I would say its hardware related.
