So, a few days ago i received my xperia arc s housing in the mail from ebay, So the next thing i do is replace the housing and put it back together, Its all working but i notice the back button not working, open the phone up again and mess around a bit while the battery was still in the phone, but then the screen stopped working, and i just put it back together cause i couldn't do anything about it. The touch screen works but it doesn't not display anything, i can start up the phone and unlock the screen and feel the vibrations but the display is really dim, like if i take a flashlight and put it over the screen, i can see everything but when i take the flashlight away i cant see anything, The LEDs near in the home buttons are not working either. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thank You

typical problem with the touch pro...because its a slider you probably need to replace the flex cable from mother board to screen, i had same problem with mine i thought at first it was the digitizer but dont be fooled.
back up the pim file on the computer and see if you can get the phone replaced under warrenty would be my suggestion.
Not sure if you have fixed the problem yet or not but I just recently had this same issue. I replaced the phone under warranty and before I sent it back I installed MyMobiler to navigate the phone and save any files I wanted to keep locally on my PC. Obviously activesync saved all my contacts and whatnot as well.
The sad part was I had only had the phone a month and 2 weeks so they couldn't give me a brand new replacement since it was over the 30 days, so I had to settle for a Re-Man. blah
Oh well good luck mate!
I have the same problem. I just called tech support and had them sent me a new one. Something that may elongate your use before you get it replaced, press down on the screen between the lower buttons and the LCD screen (the Verizon logo). It seems that the more that i do it, the worse it get, but slowly. Here is a video of me making it work.
Good luck!
Ok... I apolagize in advance if this has been muted before, but I really dont know what to search for.
My problem is, that when i make a call the screen turns off, ( As it should ) but when Im asked to tap in an extention number or 'press 1' etc I cant turn the screen back on, all the soft keys light up but the screen refuses to come back on untill I end the call.
If I dial in the number and the screen goes blank on connection, some times im able to turn on the screen if I move quickly enough and press the sta key.
Im running a htc hd2 with an the latest energy rom.
ditto
have the same problem, would love to find a solution...
Same problem here so I D/Ld Phonex from Iconsoft. Really like this a lot better and is so much more user friendly.
I'm not sure if you're having the same problem I was, but it sounds very similar...
What I discovered is that at the upper left of my screen protector, there are two round cutouts for the proximity sensor. The screen protector has never adhered very well at this point, and it was pulled away from the glass, causing the phone to belive that it was constantly near a face, and blacking out the screen.
I discovered this after being so frustrated that I removed the screen protector, and *voila!* the telephone worked as advertised. I used a hair dryer to warm the screen protector to re-adhere it, and the phone still works properly, but I don't know for how long.
I understand that there is a registry setting to disable the proximity function for the phone, but I haven't gone to this length.
I hope this helped!
I had the same problem till i change te Radio version to 2.10 or above then it disappeared
I have the same problem, screen protector causes this problem for me....
Hi I recently dropped my T-Mobile HD2 in a puddle of water very briefly i took the cover off and battery right after it happened and wiped everything down. The phone worked flawlessly for about 6 hours then I finally got a black screen. The phone will turn on boot into android(2.3 NAND) and the touch screen works plus im able to recieve calls and messages BUT the only way to tell is to use a bright flashlight to see the screen as I have NO BACKLIGHT. Help me please?
You have probably dead light emission layer. By all means, LCD is to be replaced.
You shouldn't turn phone on immediately after accident. Removing battery immediately, complete disassemble of every possible piece and letting it rest for 2-3 days in warm dry place is a proper way to do this. Next time of course.
So just replace the LCD? Should I order a digitizer with it? Thanks in advance.

hey, everyone...
quick question to see if anyone has come across this particular issue.
i've been running dirty unicorns, toast kernel alex uses for that rom.
woke the phone up yesterday am after spending the night on the charger.
still plugged in, i checked the time.
pushed the power button again to put it back to sleep.
nothing...the screen stayed on, but frozen.
unplugged it from the charger, screen powered down.
haven't been able to get the screen back on.
strangely, the home, menu, back and search buttons do manage to light up, though.
oddly, enough...the phone still works normally.
i can guess as to what my security pattern is, hit the magnifying glass to power up google now and ask it questions.
i can also receive phone calls and swipe to take or hang up the call as usual.
once on the call, i can guess as to where the red bar is for hanging up.
phone works like normal...as long as i can guess as to where everything is.
also, when in lock screen mode i can side swipe to get to the camera and take pictures.
so, essentially, screen doesn't work...but, it still recognises and accepts touch input.
i just can't see a damn thing.
any idea?
took it to a sprint corp store and they changed the housing for me...for free.
changed the screen, top housing, etc.
they said it looks like it might be the board.
any ideas beyond that?
thanks again, everyone!
also, on a weird note...my battery is bulging in the middle.
i guess it's on the way out...with everything else.
I've had this phone for years and am having this issue too. Anyone have an idea?
yeah, it turns out that my screen's fried.
at least that's what the sprint tech told me.
pretty much everything works perfectly.
impeccably...i just can't see it.
i guess that's it for the phone unless i want to replace the screen.
they're rather inexpensive...depending on where you source it from.
