i have this very weird problem that happened to me a couple hours ago. i was checking a GV text and when i closed the keyboard, it seemed like the screen just died. i thought it bricked, but fastboot worked. i found out that it would do the "screen death" when i closed the keyboard. so basically, it only works when it is landscape; keyboard open so to speak. when i go back to portrait it "dies". can anyone help? is maybe because the lines inside are messed up? HELP!!!
*****solved. BAD SCREEN RIBBON*******

Hi all!
Yesterday, my X1 started behaving weirdly for no apparent reason. It simply stopped responding when I slid out the hardware-keyboard (i.e the screen didn`t "flip").
Secondly, when I write with the hardware-keyboard there doesn`t seem to be any response until I slide the keyboard back in, and everything I wrote appears on the screen. It started happening spontaniously, and did several hard-resets and ROM flashes to no avail.
Anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance.
Yup, I did
It is a hardware problem (flex cable)

My friends G1 is unresponsive whenever the screen is closed, but seems to work when sliding it open. The funny thing is, while the device doesn't perform any actions when the screen is closed, it still seems to be responding to touch. When the screen is opened again, your touched actions will "catch up" and the phone responds. This happens from recovery mode as well as in Android.
Can anyone help?
Anyone? Please?

The phone is in standby/sleep mode while screen is off, so you cant use the touch screen. You must double tap Menu to get to the home screen.While in recovery mode you cant use the touch screen cause you have to use the hardware buttons or the trackball. Im guessing you were unaware that the phone goes into sleep mode. When you slide the KB the phone wakes from sleep mode and allows you to use it.You only have to slide it when you need it not just to do it randomly.
No no, sorry if I worded it incorrectly. The screen is on and it is frozen when the slider is closed. Once you open the keyboard, everything works fine. As soon as you slide it in, the screen freezes on its current display and stops updating.

What rom are you using?
If it is a hero rom then it doesnt work while in landscape mode so you cant open the KB while on home.
Its a 2.1 ROM by Kingx
The screen behaves the same in and out of android though...such as in the recovery (JFv1.4) console. If the screen is closed, the screen "freezes", but the frozen picture is still displayed. If you slide the screen ouţand expose the keyboard, it works fine. The phone otherwise operates normally, as does the standby mode.

You need to upgrade your recovery though

Try wiping and reinstall the rom and wipe everything.Also you need a task manager cause you might have a billion apps open.
I'll try it on his phone when I get off work. Thanks for the recovery link. Do you prefer this over JF?

JF is super old and lacks many features from Amon_Ra. But it's based off of Cyan 1.4 recovery. It makes a lot of things easier like partitioning,wiping,backup,restoring roms.
Alright,
Home now with his phone. I swapped JF's recovery with RA. The issue still exists, and I'm wondering if it's hardware related...
This is frustrating. I don't know if I can fix it for him...
The problem seems to have gotten worse on its own. If the screen is closed at all, the screen will go black with a slight image shown with what seems to be an unworking backlight. However, upon sliding the keyboard open again, the backlight does not return until the device is rebooted while leaving the keyboard open.
Edit:
The backlight seems to come on sometimes when you slide the screen open...

You might wanna wipe and install another rom to see if the problem stays.There might be a hardware problem with your phone.
I've wiped and tried a couple of other ROMs but the issue persists. If it's a hardware issue, is there anything I can try to fix it?

It could be the ribbon that connects to the display.If you can find the assembly guide you could replace the broken or loose piece.But i'm not 100% on which part of the display needs to be replaced.You could ask someone at T-Mobile or at a electronics store what the problem is.HTC offers a free 2yr warranty so you might be able to get a replacement.
Bumping this to see if this was ever resolved. Having the same issue, and considering replacing it brand new, but wanted to know what exactly needs to be replaced so I can order it.
Hello hello, for like 30 minutes ago something bad occured to my phone..
The screen got black, both in landscape and in normal mode.
For like a month ago I dropped the phone on the floor, and the landscape mode, when opening it I had to push it a little harder than normal, not that dangerous I thought, until now.
For like 30 minutes ago, I couldn't close the whole screen so I pushed it harder than normal and the problem occured, the screen got black.
The phone is turned on, I can hear sound from it by pushing the sound volume.
Please, does any1 have a clue what the problem is, or how to fix this?
Yours.
probably something similar

Thank you for the reply, but when I looked at it, they had a similar problem not exactly the same as mine.
They only have the problem when the screen is in landscape mode, I have the problem even if the keyboard is in or out..
I also noticed something, that the touch screen still works?
I can hear sounds when touching the screen.
Something strange happened to me today.
The unit lost power, the screen went weird, then the unit shut off.
After charging it when I got home, I wasn't able to boot it; it wouldn't even go into recovery via home & end.
I saw something online where someone suggested trying to go into recovery mode with the keyboard open.
This worked & I wiped & reflashed the SuperBad rom.
What I've come to realize is that my display isn't working at all when the keyboard is slid under the display, or shut - so to speak.
Any ideas? Might there be a 'simple fix' to this that I don't know about?
Also ..
What happens when I close the unit is that a bunch of black lines appear across the display (looking at the unit in Portrait mode).
Looking at the unit in Landscape mode, the lines appear vertically across the screen & the homescreen appears to not rotate, but stays in Portrait mode.

Everyone that I have talked to has said it is a possibility that it is the ribbon cable for the keyboard. The replacement procedure for that is a bit complex (small parts involved) but it is possible to fix. And truth be told, I could also be totally wrong. But you had said that you re-flashed it and it continues the same problem. That sounds more like a hardware issue and less like a software issue.
Hi everyone, I was hoping I could get some help with my LG P990 (Optimus 2x), I recently changed the screen and digitizer (it was broken so I replaced it myself with a new original one).
The thing is that since then sometimes the digitizer just stops working. The screen works, the buttons (screen lock and volume up and down) works, but the touch screen is dead. Obviously I can't reboot the phone so I take off the battery and put it back, the phone shuts down, reiniciates and there it goes, everything is good again, working perfectly... until it stops and the whole thing goes like this over and over...
Any clues of what might be causing this? I think it should be something software related since the digitizer works PERFECTLY until it kinda freezes... but I'm not sure, really not a smartphone guy so...
Thanks a lot!
P.S.: Tried to use the developer tools > locate pointer function and touched everything everywhere accross the screen and it's fully working, no dead zones, so the problem is "random" i mean it just stops working randomly, and I also didn't notice any patterns like "it freezes when i'm doing something specifically" it's totally random, happened when receiving a call, when making a call, while playing a game, while just browsing through the menu, while trying to unlock the screen... at least APPARENTLY random, maybe something i didn't notice if I do, i'll add later...
