How do I fix the white screen of death on my at&t tilt? And if you don't know what it is...its just a white screen..sometime with some weird colors...No matter what I do it won't go away. I try taking out the battery and putting it back...and all that.
No double posting, you already have this question posted in another thread.

You can search around the forum for what other people have done, but I think that it is a hardware failure.
That is why they call it the white screen of " death " and not the white screen of " only sick ."

I just bought my tilt from at&t about 2-3 weeks ago, and now I believe the screen is broken. The weird thing is its not cracked, it was sitting on my bed and i recieved a text and I picked it up and the screen was out. I didn't drop it or hit it with anything, now the screen is completely white, with what looks like ink in the lower right corner and thats why im assuming its the screen. So the question is, is it soley the screen or could my rom, duttys latest hybrid version, have messed with anything? And I'm not sure how that would affect anything anyway. I just don't see why it would go out all the sudden and nothing have happened to it. Im under the assumption now that it is the screen, but was wanting to if it was a hardware problem. I've searched some threads and I havn't found one where there wasn't a crack in the screen.

It's definitely the screen, the 'ink' color is the liquid crystal layer that's ruptured..
After being in my pocket for some time, there is a rainbow effect on the screen. I can change the location of this effect if I push elsewhere on the screen; however, it seems to concentrate itself right in the center. It has no ill-effect on the touch screen but it is visible under certain angles when the screen is on. I am using the screen protector that came with it. After some time being out of my pocket it dissipates and looks normal.
Anyone else experience anything like this?

Yeah, I have.. I haven't noticed it's touch sensitive, but I've seen the problem while rebooting and also randomly while using the phone.. And it seems like for me the screen gets progressively worse and starts losing all contrast and fades to white. A reboot always fixes it.
My guess is something in the video drivers flips out. But the first time I saw it I thought I had a hardware problem because I found it that way in the morning out of the blue, but I guess it had started doing it 'itself' overnight or something.

I dont think it has anything to do with the screen itself. But the digitizer and the multiple layers on top of the screen that the digitizer is composed of.
Newton's rings isn't it?

Yes that is exactly it - the diffraction of light between 2 surfaces, is it normal; however?
Thanks!

Nooo, then maybe what I'm talking about is different. I'm talking crazy screen, weird 'rippling' going on, screen slowly turns more and more white. I know what newtons rings are.. It's sorta visible in sunlight.
So perhaps I'm describing a different issue. Mine is definitely something with the phone, not the layers.
My diamond has a yellowish patch towards the bottom left hand on the screen. Its only visible when the screen is showing something white only. Anybody else having this problem? any solution?
This is a very common issue with the Diamond... The yellow "clouds" is easier to see when the phone runs hot or with white backgrounds as you mentioned...

There's nothing you can do to make the yellow spots go away, either you will have to live with it or change the display (or phone).

Hi .. thanks for the reply. at least i know i'm not alone in that case. i guess i used the wrong keywords to search for this article on xda. Hm.. i'll have to live with it then i think..
You will eventually get over it and completely forget that they ever existed.
Hi all! can anyone help me.... i tried rooting and installing lag fixes with speedmod the other day, then i reverted back to stock with a fresh froyo 2.2 DXJPA. the problem i have now is my screen has a very thin straight line across which is noticible when the the screen is white or in light colour. is this becos of what i have done with the phone?? plz help cos im afraid it wont be covered under warranty...
.... or is this due to any liquid entering the phone?? plz guys...
sounds like a hardware issue to me.... go into testing mode by opening your phone type *#0*# and do the LCD test at the top, there is red, green and blue. if you see the line in any of those then it's a hardware issue......if you did get water in there and the dye pack is still good they should replace the phone
Sorry i know that it is an old post but i didnt want to open a new topic, i have 2 or 3 thiny grey lines on my sgs screen. i did perfom rgb tests and it barely noticeble on r/g/b colors, but when i open a web page with white backround i can see it clearly. more strange thing, that the lines almost dissappearing when charger plugged in. i have my screen been replaced two weeks ago. never dropped and never been in contact with water. will appreciate any ideas. thanks.
