About 10 mins ago I was in the middle of typing out a text message then the screen went like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

It's very white, but you can make out some text and icons, the touch screen still works.
I'm using the original O2 ROM on my O2 XDA Stellar, and have never flashed the ROM or HardSPL (Yet!).
i tried booting into the bootloader but the screen is still like that, so I presume this is not a software issue.
Any suggestions before I call O2 for a replacement?
EDIT: I must point out that the screen is still at it's proper brightness, it is just mostly white! Kind of inverted infact.
Hi,
I've the same problem!!!!!!

No way! What device is yours, the Stellar?
Just tried a hard reset with no joy.
About to call O2. Have you done anything bout it yet?
My device is an Italian HTC TyTN II.
I also tried with an Hard Reset, but nothing.......
I sent it to service center.......
Well I've called up O2, who were very good. Because I have had the phone for less than 28 days, they are sending me out a brand new one immediately, and I just swap the broken one with the new one at the door when it arrives!
Same thing exactly happened to me tonight. I guess it's a hardware problem. I'll be calling AT&T tomorrow.
Well I've received my replacement fine. O2 sent it straight out, next day delivery, swapped it at the door.
One interesting thing I have discovered is that the keyboard and external side keys are much better than in my old one. I had initially complained about them,the keyboard was not very responsive, some keys hardly clicked and it was hard to tell if you had actually pressed them sometimes. The new one is almost perfect!
same here humm this is gonna suck now.. anyone know how to return att phone with out an account
Well, my phone started doing that same thing last night.
I bought my Tilt about six months ago and it has been the greatest phone I've ever had.
Last night after touching the Contacts icon at the bottom right corner of the screen the whole screen turned very white just like the photos posted on the first post of this thread. I can still read the text, but the screen is too bright even though it is set to the lower brightness level. If I increase the brightness it gets almost unreadable.
I slided out and tilted the front and it came back to normal. It hapenned again and I did some very small hits with the tip of my finger and it came back to normal. It happened like 5 more times and got fixed back with some small hits with the fingers. However, after the sixth time it has not come back to normal.
It seems to me like some bad or broken contact, specially because it seems to happen when I touch the bottom right corner. I don't think reloading any software will fix this.
Whatever the problem is I will have to solve it myself since I bought this phone over Ebay and mailed down to me to Costa Rica.
I'm planning on opening the front and examining the display today in the afternoon. If anyone has some tips to share with me on this particular problem or on how to open the thing I will really appreciate them.
I did open my Tilt today as well as another good working one from a friend of mine.
The display from the working Tilt works just fine in my phone while my display does the same too bright behaviour.
Looks like a defective display to me. I already ordered a replacement.

Hello,
I've had my tilt for less than a year now. Today, my screen, when I turned it on, shook and while it was shacking, it was showing multiple lines on the screen. At the end, the screen was complete white. I can still make/receive calls, however, I wouldn't know what's going on since the screen was white. It seems to me it was a loose connection???? It got me extremely worried. I took off the battery, made a hard-reset, tried to physically move the screen, non worked. all of a sudden, the screen was fine. Later today, it happened again.
Can anyone please explain this problem to me and how to fix it. I would really appreciate that...
Thank you
Not sure what "shacked" means.
But given you are under 1 year, you probably have a warranty. Would be best to try and get a warranty exchange.
To have you dig around inside checking connection and voiding your warranty, would not be wise with an active warranty.

Ok, Find mikechannon's disassembly guides and wiggle all your connections. Sounds like a loose connection to me.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply, I dismantaled my device and made sure all the connections are fine. The problem still appears....
Ok Next Thing it, The LCD panel is "dieing" you will probably need to replace it.

I noticed that when it happens, if I touched the OK and the end call button together, it would sometimes solve the issue. I would have to do it several times though. Is that any hint? are there screen related connections underneath those buttons?
Thank you for your continuing support, much appreciated!
OK, I've noticed that once I click on the call button, the white screen shows up. As I said, I dismantled my device and checked all the connections. However, I didn't go further than the 15th page, i didn't go further because I though that it wasn't necessary.. That's the websites of the tutorial I followed:
http://www.mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/Replacing the LCD on a Kaiser.pdf
So the two connections I made sure they are properly in was the small and big one only like in the picture below....

Those connections you have pointed out in those pictures are the keyboard ribbon connections....I think you might have to dismantle a bit further to get to the screen.

OK, I went further and was able to see the screen ribbon. I made sure the connections are in tight. However, after putting everything back, the problem still persist. Now, I'll be more than happy to buy a new screen IF it solves the problem... Please correct me if i'm wrong, doesn't seem more like a connection problem; maybe the chip that holds the ribbon cable is loose? In this case, it would need soldering???
Moreover, I noticed that the screen ribbon is underneath the talk button. Like I said before, touching the talk button solves the white screen*. Isn't that more proof that its not a screen issue?
I am very grateful for any advice...
Thank you
* Before completely dismantling the phone, it used to be touching the talk button brings the white screen problem, now its the opposite
hello
I have got a problem with my xperia, the top bar shows that my stereo headset is connected but is not...therefore, i cant hear anyone who is trying to call me or i call anyone.. i have been in a vodafone store and they could not find a solution, i also have done hard reset and is still the same... now im about to flash new rom. would that be a solution or any of you got different?
please help me, thanks in advance
try connecting headset again but give it a wiggle about, not too much also try pulling it out and puting it back in quickly several times in a row. be carefull.
i tried that already, not working
after a hard reset i can only assume it's a hardware fault, so i would go get it fixed because if you flash a new rom that will invalidate your waranty.
do that in the FMradio application
thank you guys, i also think that i should return it for vodafone service..
i tried in fmradio and still no working
sorry to hear that. good luck with that
last time that annoying thing happened to me i had to go to the htc HD fm radio app and plug and unplug the offical 3.5 connector to make it work( try plugging->listen to radio->set output to speakers-> then unplug)
a bunch of questions:
-what rom are you using
-did you try different 3.5 connectors
-is the earphone that caused the problem low quality?
the last time this happened to me i used the stylus and just waggled about for ages and ages and eventually the sensor registered that the headphones weren't plugged in.
do a search as plenty of people have had the exact same problem ...
good luck !
yes - just waggle the stylus around in it until it goes - worked for me
thank you..the thing with stylus works, hopefully but its still anoying to do that every time i put my headset
i have got an original vodafone uk rom
yes, i have tried many different headsets
the quality is fine
I have the exact same problem on my 4 month old X1, and now i dont rly know how hard i should wiggle with the stylus...

try waggling and then try inserting the headphones a few times and taking them out too
I've had the same prob for a week now.
After reading up on other HTC phones with the same issue I've found that what went wrong was a little hardware switch inside the jack failed to reset to its off position when the headphones where removed.
To locate the switch:
Turn the phone onto back so that the screen is facing upwards. The switch is at the 4-5 o'clock position if you look directly at the headphone jack, at around 1cm in.

I inserted a small pin which was bent a little at the end to relative position I have described and after I felt it snag just gave it a small wiggle. When doing this I noticed the headphone icon would disappear for a second and return.
This is how I knew I was in the correct position. Then I gave it a good twist.
(I think anti clockwise, but you will know from which direction worked when you wiggled)
The headphone icon disappeared for good and now I'm back to normal phone use!
(Do this at your own risk! But its more precise than sticking the stylus in blind)

DO NOT RETURN IT. This happened to me once, and ONLY once after using the phone for like 6 months. I soft reset and nothing happened.
There is something wrong with the way the device toggled the connection. Just replug and unplug and press play and pause on your video/music player. It should purge sooner or later.
You can also hard reset your device you will find that the problem will most likely purge.
@Charcobeans: Thanks, it worked within 5 seconds Thats just the instructions I searched for. Waggling around did not work, but more precise it was easy. Thanks!
Charged my G Watch R last night as I always do and put it on this morning. Noticed at my breakfast meeting that it had froze earlier on 6am when it was now gone 7.
Pressed and held the power button for 8 seconds to restart and now just get this:

It's still working underneath as it vibrates with notifications and calls etc.
UPDATE: Randomly as I'm writing this post the screen comes back to the normal face, I have a go to flick through my notifications then it freezes on email and won't move even when the power button is pressed but again is vibrating on notifications.
Obviously it will need to go back but wondering if anyone else has had similar issues?
Thanks
Try a full reset before returning it.

I havent had that issue? Odd for sure. Check over in the Moto section if anyone has.
In the brief moments the screen returned to normal I managed to initiate a factory reset, it rebooted with the LG logo and set back up but within minutes it went back to how it is in the photo.
Thanks for your replies.
Same problem as mine?

Blinking screen in dimmed mode

Our devices were meant to be together
My LG G2. Same situation. I just have to whack it on a table a once or twice and it goes back to normal.
I had that pixelated screen popping up once, while I was testing some heavy customisations on the watch maker app ... since I'm using faces with less objects I did not saw that weird screen.
I suggest to do a factory reset or to choose one of the default watch faces ... anyway, something else than what has been on when that stuff occurred.
I had the same issue with my first one
Mine did this after getting fully charged, i had it next to me on the table ready to be strapped on when it happened.
I am amazed you could reboot, mine did not even responded to the main button any more, got really hot also.
after an hour in the box (ready to be send off back to the retailer) it did a spontaneous reset, and showed 5% battery left. I turned it off and send it back, my second one developed the blinking issue in dimmed state, so also back, now on my third one. I do hope this one will be all right, i love it dearly! The recessed screen prevents the random activations i had with the LG G, bloody annoying when playing music with Music Boss, pause/play every few seconds when my sleeve touched the screen..
I wanted to post the photo of the crashed screen, but i am not allowed yet
Thanks for all the replies.
I contact Clove Technology where I purchased it from and they have replaced it, awesome service from them. New one is working fine so far, fingers crossed it stays that way.

I got this yesterday when i tried to use Watchmaker watch face app for the first time. Reboot, happened again. Switched back to Facer. Haven't seen it again.
My match Same situation.
i need hepl.
I'm not sure if it might be an LG thing but I had the EXACT same thing start happening with my Nexus 5 a couple of weeks ago. The screen would freeze and be pixilated but the device would be working and ring and vibrate for notifications. I don't know what triggered it but coincidentally it was right after the lollipop update that it started to happen. A reboot usually (but not always) solved it. LG replaced the device as it was still under warranty.
Sent from my Oneplus One using XDA Free mobile mobile app.
Huh, that sounds troubling, but then again, this is the first time i hear of this on the Nexus 5, so maybe it is a software problem after all, I hope the soon to be release 5.0.2 will fix this, at least it seems to fix the battery problems some seem to have after the 5.0 update and the performance issues some see on the Nexus 7 slabs.
But as LG has swapped your N5 for a new one, i am very afraid they have a real quality issue in their production line!
S.A.M.E. ! :crying: I didn't do anything wrong with it and the screen just died after a nap.
Sent it back to Korea and it's fixed now.

Strange, for me it was the other way around: the pixelated screen just appeared out of nowhere... It did seem to respond to button actions, so I decided to keep the button pressed very long.
Result: it rebooted, and I have never had any problems since

EDIT: DEAD AGAIN 2 DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR!!! I may probably NEVER going to buy any LG product in the future. Considering switch to the 360.:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Hi you all!
Has the title says, sometimes a white glitch in the top appears, normally after a charge overnight just after I disconnect the device from charging. The problem in my urbane appeared after a forced update by adb sideload, don't know if it's due to that but I'm not sure until I hear other persons that made the same thing, adb sideload of course.
Anyway I'll probably gonna take it to warranty, cause I'm afraid it might be an hardware issue... :crying:
When I have some kind of an answer I'll give the feedback.
Already posted something similar in other thread ( " I've already done everything to the watch, unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and also pushed by adb sideload the new version of Android wear, the bass version one (LCA44B) and all went fine.
Although I will going to take the Smartwatch to warranty, cause lately, not always, he's been doing a strange thing... After fully charged, the screen in top center, starts to blink (of White color), kind of a flat-tire inverted really strong like a flash! Obviously it's a glitch of some kind that affects the screen... Even with a reboot, he keeps doing it while booting... Lucky of me... Damned...")
The unique solution I've found was to switch of the device, not reboot, I must switch of the device or else it keeps doing it...
It only happened two times... But... Its f****d...
Edit. Posting some pics in a while...
Sorry by taking too long but here are the photos and video....
Still had the time to take it to the store were I bought it due to work shifts and free time to do so...

Yes, mine was very intermittent. It first happened after landing on a long flight... figured it was an air-pressure thing... it went away.
It was then intermittent / infrequent over the next month but last week it suddenly got a lot worse, and more frequent (i.e. all the time).
New video:
Contacted Amazon, and had a replacement delivered yesterday - so I've swapped it out for a new one - so far so good

First post updated...
Common issue on LG Watch. Few thread on LG R section.
Hey guys,
I am back to the real OG forums of Android after spending a few good years with iOS devices. Ngl, missed this place a lot!
So I have been using a Pixel 4a (5G) for 2-3 weeks now, and everything was perfect until the May security update 2 days ago. Although, previously, there were a couple of touch screen issues observed by many anyway, a friend too who uses the same phone, same variant g025-e and we used to observe extremely **** typing experience while charging our phones, until this update, literally destroyed the whole experience for me specifically, and not my friend.
This update was about 16.9 mb and on the night of 1st of May, I put my phone to update and slept, within hours it was released. The next morning my frustration begins. There is a part of my screen, specifically between the app dock and home screen separator that doesn't work anymore. There is absolutely no damage to the phone, neither have I dropped it or anything. The whole "asd" row on my qwerty keyboard barely works. Tapping the letters on that row a million times might register a touch magically, but you get my point, its just extremely frustrating.
Furious, I immediately took it to Pixel Community (Pixel Community Post here) and I haven't received a reply there yet. I took it to Reddit (Reddit post here), and there isn't any help either.
I have run a couple of tests on my phone testing my screen, and to my surprise multi-touch isn't working either (I can't zoom into photos, can't use maps or anything for that matter) and my phone only detects one finger. Attaching screenshots below where you can see touch break (there is no point of posting multi-touch test here, it can only show its detecting 1 finger, and that also breaks in the area shown below):

As last resort, I have also tried removing my screen protector, playing with the screen-protector mode in the display settings but in vain.
Now I am thinking something definitely went wrong while my phone installed the update, and thinking of a full fresh flash of the Software after unlocking the bootloader. Please suggest what to do. Hoping for positive replies. I am not doubting the hardware because my phone just stopped working right after the update, even though the new update suited my friend's phone just fine.

Oh damn I'm sorry its that much for you mate. Did it happen after the update or just randomly?
the day I updated the phone, the touch screen started to not answer again on the top and then the problem is repeated gradually on the rest of the screen. I just made a factory rest, the touch screen no longer works, I will change the screen .
