Hi!
My phone got a broken screen, but I got a replacement device from the insurance.
Trouble is, after a while with screen on the screen seems to become hypersensitive - it's nearly impossible to enter text through the display keyboard or just to zoom and move a webpage
After switching the screen off and back on again immediately it's OK again for a while.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I reckon it's a hardware problem, but maybe someone has a different explanation for this problem?

So I'm getting my girlfriends fascinate from her since she got an Incredible 2. The only little problem is the screen doesn't work. A little background on the problem. She woke the phone up and the screen no longer displayed all of the picture. Very little of it can be seen and it is discolored. The actual touch screen works though, you can unlock the phone if you can navigate the lock screen. The phone was dropped in water a week prior to this however it still worked fine up until the screen problem. Does this sound like just replacing the screen would fix the problem or do you think there's a deeper problem?
Greetings XDA'ers, i have a Galaxy S II (international) and it's running stock ICS (XXWLPG) and the "problem" is that right before the lock screen comes up there is some screen flickering, black and white lines flickers vertically across the screen in about half a second before the lockscreen comes up. Its very hard to see this. But its easy to see it in dark rooms, like cinemas and such.
I have already returned the phone to where i bought it, the first time they changed the front LCD panel. and 2. time they didn't fix anything. And here in Norway the third time can get my money back for the phone if the same problem exists for 3 times. And if i do that then i can get the money back. And buy a S III ))
But anyway is this normal, they said they discovered the problem when i send it in the first time. and its still happening. so is this happening to you guys??
-Thanks for your helpfulness
Anyone???
I've not seen it, and you may need to wait longer than 2 hours to get a response from someone who has. This is a forum, not your personal instant messaging support client.
no it's not normal, pretty obvious
Hello! So my Xperia Mini pro has been broken, it doesn't show any image anymore, I think there is a problem with the screen but I want a confirmation or recommendation to find out what the problem is.
First the screen "touch" capability stopped working, and then two weeks after that, the back and option buttons stopped working too. And a week after that ,there was like a screen "flickering" (I tried to recreate the problem in the attached image) when I tried to either open or close the slider.
Finally the screen stopped working anymore. I tried to connect the phone to the PC but says that windows cannot recognize the hardware. And there's one more thing: I can turn on the phone, it vibrates, but the keyboard lights seems that are not working, they are permanently off.. and when I try to Increase the volume it doesn't sound either... There is only the black screen and a backlight.
Please Help me to find out what is the problem, I'm thinking to buy a screen replacement on eBay, but some people told me that is the "flex" cable. I'm not sure if there is a fix for my phone's problem.
Thanks!
Hey there.
Based on my experience, yes, your problem is most likey a flex ribbon issue. Your flex has been ripping apart lately, causing many of its wires to break. This can cause a lot of unpredictable problems, such as a misbeheaving notification LED, inactive ambient light sensor, or "dead" display/touch digitizer. Your problems have gotten worse over time, which is clearly a symptom of a broken flex.
You phone is no longer booting up to android because the kernel no longer detects a proper "response" from the display driver and halts the bootup. This is why you can feel the phone vibrating when pressing the power button, but nothing else happens. Your screen assembly is fine, I can assure you that, unless your glass is broken, of course.
Here's one hell of a good teardown guide: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Sony+Ericsson+Xperia+Mini+Pro+SK17i+Teardown/7275
I used that very same guide when I repaired my own xmp. I regret messing with my screen assembly because I destroyed it and had to buy a new one, which is costly
Thank You so much for the advice ! Now I'll try to repair it, It doesn't seem too difficult. Thank You Again!!!
Hello everyone.
I have a problem with my smartphone Sony Xperia Z2. I dropped it and the display broke. I bought a new display. When I connect he went crazy. He began to open the application, clicking like 10 fingers working on it simultaneously. Because I thought that the display is faulty, I've exchanged for a new one. But now even bigger problem. When I turn on him, he does not show anything on the screen except the backlight. Do you know what the problem is and whether anyone had a similar problem? So, when the smartphone turns on, lights up only the backlight but nothing on the screen showing a. At first, there is a lot of vertical lines on display, and once he just fade out, and from that moment display is blank only backlight working. I try to update software, but nothing change. Restarting, and turning off also nothing.
Please help me solve this, for me very frustrating problem.
anyone?

Did you ever get this resolved?
I had this issue after a screen replacement for a shattered screen. I was sure I had damaged something in the process (ribbon flex cable, motherboard, etc). Turns out the replacement screen was faulty. A new working screen solved the issue.
Hi guys,
Would like to hear if I am the only one with this problem.
It pretty often happens that one of the displays decides to shut down.
Exact symptoms are following : I am using the Surface, mostly as a "book".
For no reason, one of the display goes dark and displays "To change screen, double tap here".
It can be the left display or the right one. That is totally random.
Of course once there, there's no way to "undo" that stupid message : either you tap and you get output on that display only or you do nothing and the display goes black after 10 seconds or so.
Anyone else having this problem ?
Yep. I even had my phone replaced by MS - twice for this issue. It seems like it is a hardware fault. I use mine in my car in book mode and have this happen when driving - frustrating. Here's the resolution for me:
When in book mode, tilt the phone back to a ~45 degree angle for a few seconds and the missing screen comes right back.
This has been a problem for me when I used the phone in something other that straight up.

Hi,
I have been in touch with Microsoft and they indeed offered me to replace the device.
As I am still under the 60 days money-back warranty, I told them we'd wait until september 22 to see if Android 11 is released then and if it solves problems.
What I suspect is following : when it happens, I noticed that the hinges were covered with some dust from my pockets. I wiped that out delicately and it seems the problem is gone (at least so far... but that reamins to be confirmed).
Regards
