Hi all,
A couple of months ago, some sort of a ghost image started to appear on at the bottom of the screen (I don't know if it's a hardware defect or a software related issue)!
However, few days ago that ghost image started to occupy a much larger screen real-estate, which is quit annoying especially if you are using the device in landscape mode!
I've already restored my device, refleshed but it didn't help!
So my guessing is it's a hardware problem (please refer to the images below)!
Could anyone please advice on this?
I would guess part of the ribbon for the LCD has come off

If so, does this require replacing the screen?? or is there any other way to fix it?

Hey guys,
My screen woes just won't go away. I dropped my phone a few weeks back and cracked the screen. Ordered a new one from eBay (Item number: 260818538062) with the faceplate and everything. Had it installed but then started noticing that SWYPE wasn't working as well because my words would start breaking midway. Installed Yet Another Multi Touch Test and when trying to paint realized that there is a very evident line on my screen that isn't working as well. That was one continuous movement of slow up and down jestures but as you can see, the touch sensitivity is much weaker as well as the screen sensing a second touch at some point.
What can I do? I will gladly take the thing apart and clean the connectors.. if that will help. But somehow am inclined to believe that the issue lies with the screen. Is there a software recalibration fix that exists perhaps? Anyone experienced the same thing and walked away with a working solution?
Please help and thank you in advance.
(EDIT) I've added a second attachment where I started going around the outer edges working my way in, there's definitely one faulty line in my screen!
(EDIT2) Found a native Android touchscreen test (white and green) thanks to a member named BryanNL in a different post. Basically had to dial *#0*# and chose it from a menu. This test claimed that I passed but you can see that it is not made to tackle an issue like mine.
Bumping.. Anyone please.
Hope someone can help me with this as it is a bit of a strange 1.
I recently replaced the digitizer screen on my X10i because the one that was on there was smashed up good.
Everything went together ok and it all switched on ok but for some reason only half of the screen will work(the bottom half). exactly half way through the screen/digitizer when it is vertical, it stops working. The top half does not work. The digitizer and everything else is in perfect condition so I am very confused as to what it could be.
I have replaced 100's of screen in the past and have never come across this problem.
Is it possible it could be a software issue? Does the software need to be re-calibrated to suit the screen? sounds a bit odd to me but ya never know.
Any help would be great.
thanks
Nobody can help me with this??

Considering the above, last thing to try is to factory reset the phone. If that doesn't fix it, its a hardware issue.
Hello! Everyone.
am in desperate need of help. A white line across the screen of my DS5 suddenly appeared. Sometimes it's not there but more often than not it's there. Especially when I'm using a reading app or it is in the lock screen. Plus, when I reboot it, while rebooting, the white line is visible.
really don't know what's wrong with the screen. I read a lot of the problems the DS5 has and all the problems that learned seems not applicable in my case.
attached some of the pictures. hope you can see the white lines clearly. Hope to get some answers on what it is and what are the steps or options to do in order to fix the problem. It is not that a big issue on other people, however, I'm not comfortable about it and find it really annoying. It would be great if you guys can point me the right direction.
Thanks you so much!

So your suggesting that it is not a dead pixel? or the hardware (screen) can be fixed? Thanks!

I just did. The white line is still there.
There are two possible causes of this:
1. A fault in the ribbon cable.
2. A fault in the LCD itself.
A fault in the ribbon cable could be related to the connection to the motherboard or a break in one of the lines. LCD displays have tiny transistors at the edges of the screen which control the on/off state of the pixels. Sometimes they get stuck. If this is the cause of your problem, then it appears that yours is getting stuck in the "on" state, resulting in the white line.
Your options are few: purchase a used Streak with a good display and bad motherboard to swap parts with, purchase a working device and put yours up on ebay, or purchase a replacement LCD display and glass.
So it looks like a small part of the top of my screen is dead, already tried everything and no luck, The draw line test shows about a 10% of the screen not working. I think this might be a hardware problem, but not sure.
If its the hardware, is it possible to only replace the Digitizer glass, without replacing the LCD screen?
Where can I buy the part (hopefully Original, I read that third party replacements are usually disappointing, because of quality.)? I tried searching in ebay and amazon and was only able to find for the HTC one X not the plus version.
Is it too hard to replace or i'm better saving for a new phone?
Do you mean the area where the status bar is? My HOX+ also doesn't recognize touches there. It happened suddenly 5 months ago when I was playing games . However, I used to it and it is not a big problem, I will give it to repair when I get on vacation .
I already made some researches on the internet and it is not an uncommon problem for touch screens. Yes, it is the digitizer's fault.

Exactly the same problem, upper part of the screen (all notification bar). I have an OCD and this tiny things bug me a lot. I guess now I need to find a digitizer to replace it, the problem is that on ebay and other sites there are not HOX+ available, all are for the HOX.
Is there any difference between HOX and HOX+ digitizers? I thought both got the same screen.
I'm not an expert so I won't fix it on my own, better send it back to service .
Btw. I've read one time that you can put a piece of paper between the bezel and grill to clean some mess up which could get inside the phone. I was wondered that I was able to slip the paper there, but it didn't work .

yes it will work, but you can't only change the digitizer, it's too hard glued together. I broke my LCD connector while replacing the screen although
I was really careful, so it's not as easy as everyone says.
Thx, i will keep that in mind.
So recently my phone has ghost images, leftovers from other apps on the screen. (eg. The top bar showing up ghostly when it shouldn't, controls of a game showing up on home screen after closing the game in a ghostly effect) It is not a software problem. I know it goes away on its own after some time, but it's very annoying and its freaking me out. Anyone else got this problem? How do I fix/prevent it
i got it to.not know hot to fix it
Very disappointed from xperia screen
I have also the same problem and it looks like a hardware issue. It's very noticeable when you increase the screen brightness. Notification bar icons/time appear all time against any dark background. Very annoying, even cheap phones don't have that problem.
Example I found online -> lnv.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79782iF19656F933D1C741

I read that certain types of screen cause it, and it cannot be fixed except wait, which sucks, but I can't say for sure
Screenshots showing problem
I took these photos from my phone to show you how the screen retention problem looks like in Sony Xperia X.

Yes, thats exactly my problem. I noticed that it gets worse if the device is overheating
Sorry for the bump, but is any else having the same issue?
Mine seems to be getting worse and worse over time, to a point that it can literally retain half way up the display.
I use to have the same issue with my iPad Mini Retina until I took it in for a replacement and it hasn't happened since (2 years ago).
Any experiences with Sony replacing the display under warranty?
Thanks,

Not really. After buying the phone, I used it for two months without having this problem, then rooted, so no warranty

It started creeping in after 3 months for me.
Oh and it seems like that I have full screen retention now....

Wow, yours got on the next level. Mine isnt so bad. Actually , I rarely have the problem lately. Do you run poison 7.1? That particurar ROM I was using was problematic, causing the phone to overheat and the lcd problem was present all the time
Mine is completely stock and unrooted.

running completely stock & unrooted. Mine has this problem too. However, the image disappear after 10-20 minutes :|
I had this problem on my unit as well. Tried to adjust the white balance and it seems the issue was barely noticeable on the status and navigation bars.
The good thing is that screen retention falls under manufacturing defect and you will get a new screen.
Mine got replaced with a brand, spanking new one, but the issue has started to creep in just a little bit after a few months, but its very faint.
