My milestone was experiencing phantom touches so I had to get the touchpad replaced. Made my pockets a whole lot lighter. Within a week, I started having a really weird problem.
I could see the screen underneath but there was no backlight. And the battery was really hot. So i took out the battery and left it like that coz I got busy with college and all.
But after i took it to the service center, the guy put in a new battery and it seemed fine. He told me it was a battery issue and i bought a new battery. That was yesterday. Today morning i wake up and the issue with the backlight is back.
What do I do??
Now the screen has gone completely black. I have a hunch that the battery has completely run out.

So, question to the great Milestone community. A couple nights ago, my lovely girlfriend placed a Slurpee on the screen of my phone while I was asleep, and unable to defend my year and a half old handset.
When I woke the next morning, the phone had significant moisture underneath the screen. I placed the phone in a warm dry area (dash of my truck) to evaporate the moisture. After several hours, the problem seemed to have gotten worse as now instead of two square inches of droplets on the lower right portion of my screen, the moisture now consumed roughly 80% of the screen, panicking a little, I removed the battery and put my phone in a bag of uncooked rice, a trick I've heard many times.
24h later, the moisture had dissapeared. I noticed when I went to put the battery back in that the water damage indicator had tripped and turned red... so I was a little disheartened at that. The phone booted fine however, and the touch screen responded as well as it had before. Now two days later, the touch screen goes beserk frequently, and after a reboot, works fine for about an hour before going nuts again.
Now to the point. I have heard much of digitizer issues with the milestone... would this amount of moisture damaged mine? Is there any further steps I can take to save my phone? I am locked into a contract for another year and a half, and would like the phone to last nearly that long... any help and input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Braidonh

Hi today i got my nexus 6 back, after a smashed screen, i put it on charge and at first i had the green light in the speaker grill, then after a few minutes that light went out and nothing much happened when i tried to turn it on, i left it to charge for a while and when i went to check on the phone, it was getting quite hot (probably as hot as it would on heavy gaming).
Basically i don't know the issue here, im hoping it is a minor thing as at first something did happen, then the overheating with nothing happening. Do you reckon this is done for, or it is saveable?
Thanks

Personally, I'd return it because they messed something up during the repair.
I reckon so. Because i opened it up myself and a bit later on after i had a fiddle, i was able to boot it and get off photos, so clearly the only issue here is the screen. But now the screen at least looks fixed, the rest doesn't seem to want to do much.
...well, mostly.
Started crashing sometimes weeks ago, but dunno if that's related. A few days ago it crashed completely on me, backlight on but no response to anything (OFF button included). Came home, battery seemed to drain, charged up just fine.
The next day - died again, some funky artefacts on the screen first, then same as the previous day except no backlight. Fixed when I came home that day too, started taking it apart and the LED started blinking red (= dead battery). Charged up fine; cleaned up my ROM/kernel too, updated etc., minimal app setup.
Next day again, fine in the morning, then a few crashes aaand dead. Took it apart completely, found out that I get *some* LED response if I unplug the battery and press down onto the motherboard.. Rebuilt it, booted up, crashed again. Seems to turn back on if I mess with it after a few hours, but battery charging is VERY slow (~50 percent in like 5 hours).
I'm going to try flashing stock when/if it comes back up, but I'm leaning towards hardware failure right now - either a damaged motherboard or bad battery.
Most likely getting a new phone anyway at this point, but I'd still be very thankful if anyone would know how to fix this and could share
Welp, that is indeed a very weird problem to me. Sadly I can't recommend anything
Sorry
my xperia sp need 5 hours until full charger:crying::crying::crying: and draining very fast, 2,5 hours only for browsing with data connection
Hi everyone, yesterday I used NeMa's battery calibration to reset the batterystats on my Xperia Z3 Compact running the latest Cyanogenmod. I had done it when the phone was charged at 100% and noticed that the battery instantly dipped to 99% afterwards. I took note but I wasn't worried at the time. Last night I left the phone on its charging dock and slept for about 5 hours and 30 minutes. When I woke up I picked up the phone and noticed it was hot. The screen was fine at the time so I checked the battery percentage, saying it was stuck at 99% which leaves me to believe that the battery was stuck in a charging loop from a bad calibration. I texted someone and also noticed that the Swype keyboard was laggy and unresponsive, but with my lock password, etc. it seemed to be fine.
I powered the phone down and slowly tried to dissipate heat with warm water and later colder water. When I tried to power the phone on, it had shown normal booting until the end when the screen gave out. Currently, it will show normal LED lights up top and calls will still register, but the screen is dark and doesn't seem to have promising digitizer input because I can't answer the call even though I know where to touch the screen to answer it.
Has this happened to anyone? This is my first encounter dealing with this. Any fixes (screen response or proper calibration), or would I just have to get it repaired?
Hello, check this things out
only 2 ways to find out if the screen is working or not working at all
a) a very dark place... start the phone.. maybe the screen is not iluminted proprey ! and maybe the screen is visible ...but very limited.
b) buy a mhl to hdmi cable.. to connect from phone to a smartv.
And see if the touch respons.. if yes the only the screen i out.. if not the screen +touch is out ( dead)
Yeah the screen and digitizer are fried. I'm going to try and return it to the seller stating a defective battery. Has this happened to anyone else? I just need to know if there are any fixes to this if I were to get the same phone.

Poor seller, you blew up your phone with bad software and water and you want someone else to pay for it.

Hello
My screen cracked so I ordered a new on ebay. However after I have put the phone back in its shell the top part gets pretty hot. I opened it and started it without the aluminum shell to test and there were no heat? Anyone know what it might be?
Thanks In advance!
That isn't likely to be the screen. My phone gets warm too. About 4 days ago out of nowhere I noticed the upper part of the screen feeling warm, it turns out my phone had stopped sleeping properly and Google services had resumed chomping on my battery when the screen was off.
Tho when i don't keep it in the aluminium case it's not warm at all, turned on and I have logged on my simcard/wifi. I have left it on outside of the case for 1 hour and it don't get warm at all. However in the case it gets super hot as soon as it boots and then after 15-25m it turns off probably because it's too hot
Happened the same last night with me.
Put a download and slept, and in the morning it was all drained of battery and it showed that it shut down after minutes after I slept with 90%battery.
It was weird. Had to keep pressing power button for 40 sec approx for the phone to turn on.
It's working fine now though
did anyone of you even read my post? I said after a screenreplacement. It didn't just happened randomly. however i fixed it. I removed the camera and the earspeaker and reinstalled them used some alcohol on the contact points on the case and the earspeaker and it seemed to fix it if anyone has this problem later down the road
Hi jullleee, I have the same problem as u after I replaced the screen. The phone getting too hot on the top (one plus 3). On charge it becomes more hot and faster on very high temperature than without charging. Also the battery dont charge . Why did u reconnect the ear speaker and the camera ? Thank you in advance

For anyone coming across this thread I just had the same problem when replacing my Oneplus 3 screen. It seemed to work, and I plugged it in, but it said "battery too low charge for a while", then I got the 0% and seemed to charge and then restart, and then be back at 0% and be stuck in this boot / charging loop. My battery had died hard when my screen died so I thought maybe it just needed to charge for a while, but the top half of the phone got very hot.
So I took it apart again and it turns out the issue for me was with the top ribbon cables that cross the battery. Where they connect to the main board was very tight and it was difficult to get both of them in place properly. Usually they kind of overlapped and one stuck up slightly. It was fixing their placement before bolting down their cover that fixed this issue for me.
Edit: Never mind. Still searching for my issue. Taking the back case off will let it work normally but whenever i snap it on it goes back into this charging loop, I still suspect it's an issue with these two cables and the case is putting pressure in the wrong spot or something but I'm not really sure yet.
I had the same problem, the issue was the fact that i plugged the ribbon cable the other way around.
