[Q] Help! Screen is tripping out! - Nook Color General

Ok so I ordered my Nook Color from Buy.com and got it on Monday the 31st. I rooted it using instructions located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
Everything was going great until the screen started going crazy. What happens is the screen will initially go to white on one side and then just turn off. I'll have to hit the power button to put it in sleep and then hit it again to turn the screen back on. This gets progressively worse to where the screen will only be on for 5 seconds before it shuts itself off. I've searched and I can't come up an answer. Thanks in advanced.

Have you tried cleaning your screen? The nooks screen is extremely sensitive.

Sounds like it's refurb and defective to me, that's very much not normal for the screen to "white out". I suspect you need to look into replacement, but you might want to return it to stock, which is easy to do.

Seriously. Yes I did read it. My next suggestion after he/she would have tried it would be that it is defective.

Make sure it is not plugged in when you touch it and and there is not moisture on your fingers.

Even more unresponsive Return button with Wrapsol screen protector

Hey guys,
I just installed the screen protector that came with the wrapsol skin (wet application) and I was just wondering if any of y'all ever experienced an even more unresponsive return button. I know that that button is already finnicky when pressed but now it seems like it won't respond at all half the time. Havr y'all experienced this? Do you guys think it'll go away as the liquid under the protector evaporates? Thanks.

I have, with Nexus and Vibrant. While the sensitivity will b slightly diminished it should not stop 50% of the time. Exchange it imo

Exchange again. A trick I learned is to not do an out-right exchange. Instead, buy a new one, compare it to the old one, and return the one you don't like. Not only does this extend you 14-day return period (assuming you keep the new one) but it also allows you to determine which one is "better".

[Q] Is my i9000 dead?

One sad day last week, a friend dropped his Galaxy and cracked the screen . When plugged in or powered on, the soft touch-keys at the bottom do light up and I can press them (they go dark as I press them, then light back up as they normally would).
I'm OK with paying $80 for a replacement screen/digitizer on ebay, as long as I know that will fix my phone. I'm worried that something else may be wrong internally?
Is there any way to check the functionality of the phone (perhaps through ADB?) or something I can do without having the screen turn on to prove that this phone will still work once I buy a new screen?
Thanks !
Very unlikely after a drop that's cracked the screen that there is more damage than just the screen.
It'll be alright... <---- famous last words lol
As long as it was just a gravity drop from a few feet.

You can only watch to see if something's broken. Replace the screen, and if there's another problem, you will notice. But i don't think there are other hardware problems, either.

Luckily, I found one on Kijiji with a broken charger port for $40. Only took a few minutes to strip it for the screen and fire up the old phone, no problem

put your phone in an oven and go in with it. heat it up to 100 degrees for 30 min. see what happens. might work lol

Visible backlight

My one arrived today and it's been amazing! However having just tried to use it in bed (pitch black room and brightness on lowest) I can't help but notice a steak of white light coming from the bottom right corner of the screen. Does anyone else have this issue?
Yes I got same but left lower corner and only visible when screen completely black or using deal pixel app to test the screen

Not a problem, nearly every LCD panel has some light bleed. Should be a problem if its on all corners.

O God Noooooo!!!!! I hate back light bleed !!!! Now to hunt one down without this issue.
If you hate back light bleed you better get an amoled screen. I've never seen any lcd that doesn't have some level of bleed... Some are definitely better than others though.

This thread reminds me of the g2x days lol. But ya a little bleeding is normal.

After testing it looks like it's the capacitive home button LED that's causing the streak. Is there a way to turn them off without having root access? Or is it going to have to be a return job until I get a perfect "One"
Here's a picture of it.
My one x also had light bleed from cap buttons so try this (maybe itll work on the one too):
If not rooted: hold power button until the cap buttons start flashing and then quickly release it while the buttons are off. Button lights will be off until the phone goes to sleep (they will light up again when you wake up the phone)
If rooted: download LED Control from market and turn the backlight from keys off completely

Thanks, i'll try it out tonight and see how it goes
Tried the non root method and it just turns the backlight on as soon as you release the button.
Not sure if I want to root as I may have to return it =(

No point returning them. There are lots that have this issue. It really isn't that big of a deal bud. I know it's a new phone and you want it to be perfect but getting it replaced could simply replace the issue with something worse like dead pixels or weird colours under the glass.
Think to your self... Is it really that bad?

Do you have a screen protector or case that is covering the proximity sensor next to the earpiece? That could be it

I'm willing to bet its the default screen protector. It doesn't have a cutout and makes the proximity sensor go crazy. Your phone thinks its in your pocket which is why active notifications aren't coming on. I had a similar issue with my screen staying off during calls, and not being able to turn the screen back on because the phone thought my face was next to it. Take off the screen protector and I bet your issue goes away.

Yea, I'm willing to bet the sensor is freaking out. And two of you in this thread that have the problem also have the original screen protector on that blocks the sensor, so it seems most likely.

Yeah I still used the original screen protector that is coming out from the box so it still look like a brand new phone . well you know the reason I did that because too lazy to get a new screen protector but don't you think default screen protector that came right from the box is too thin that will make the sensor went crazy ? I mean that's only my thought from logical point of view .

The original screen protector was making my phone go nuts. As soon as i took it off, the issue went away. My issue was that when I was on a call, my face being next to the phone would trigger the screen to go black (as it should). But then when taken away, it would stay black, because the screen protector was messing with the sensor.

Well thank's pyro, even I haven't tried out yet but I will do that and thx for the heads up about the screen protector. you know funny thing, even lot's of people loves Nexus 5, Damn I'm more prefer nexus 5 since the battery is like a beast its like Toyota Prius .
I wish for the next gen of phone Motorola will make this feature as their patent and will be the only phone that will have this kind of feature and also for google nexus too.
