My screen has been unresponsive for a full day. It was fine when I went to bed last night, and today it's completely unresponsive. I flashed to a different rom, and even to the original sprint rom hoping that would change something - it hasn't.
I'm hoping to relock my phone so I can take it in to a sprint store tomorrow. I downloaded the Securelock.exe file I found in the WIKI but I'm unable to execute it since I can't get past the "align screen"
Does anybody have any suggestions, or anybody run into this problem before have any helpful advice?
I recently noticed that when the screen turns off by itself after being idle, there is a green flicker on the screen the very moment that the screen turns off.
The fact that this doesn't happen when I manually turn off the screen suggests that this might be a software problem but I'm not sure about that.
Does this indicate a bigger problem? Should I take it back to Tmobile? I think my 30 days is about up this week and I didn't get the insurance. I would gladly try to exchange it for a new one tomorrow if we didn't have this huge blizzard right now.
Anyone else experiencing this? All you have to do to check is turn on the phone to the lock screen and wait for it to dim then wait for it to shut off. My screen turns bright green right as it shuts off.
Thanks.
I just checked mine, and it doesnt seem to have this issue ...
It's not a big thing though, but you might wanna go and change it with a new one.
You just need to turn off the phone and it won't happend after that

I discovered that restarting the phone makes the problem disappear but only for a little while. After a day or two it comes back.
I'm assuming that by "restarted" you don't mean a factory reset. Am I right?

I discovered something interesting ... Today i replaced my HD7 with a new one because of an issue ...
Then i had this green flickering problem. It happenned while i was using the shipped rom (1.23). I upgraded the ROM to 1.57 and the issue seems to be gone ... at least for now.
Can you check this? what rom version are you using?
Just soft reset the phone
I'm running 1.20 from t-mobile and you said that 1.54 it's compatible with t-mobile
I'm new to the forums so i don't know about the rom version but the phone says bootloader version 1.20.2250.0.

ok, so i can confirm that the issue is because of your rom version (1.20), since i didnt have this issue again (after the rom update) until now.
but since there are no rom updates for tmobile yet, you gonna have to wait a bit longer.
Just dont worry about this issue, its not a hardware problem.
I have tmobile HD7 and I also so mine doing that a few times. Recently I haven't seen it again, I don´t know if its because I reduced the off screen time.
Hopefully it is purely a software issue.
Just to share my experience, I also notice the green flicker, but only around 1 of 10 times. So don't get too excited when do you don't see one. Problem doesn't resolve after a hard reset either. I understand there's a wp7 update to be released later this month? Hopefully that'll help.
Just a question, these rom updates, are they official and released by Tmobile or whichever carrier you're with? I purchased mine outright online, and so don't have that option.
I have noticed this intermittent issue occur when applying a chosen wallpaper for the lock screen through settings or album but the strange thing is when I re-apply my chosen wallpaper the issue is gone no green screen flicker on screen timeout
I could be wrong but there seems to be a bug when the OS applies the wallpaper, on occasions it does not do it correctly hence the green screen!
I hope the upcoming wp7 update fixes this issue!
Weird situation started tonight. Phone is my sons and is completely stock. If i pop the battery out and boot it, i am able to get in from lockscreen and use the phone without issue. If i let the screen timeout or lock it the screen will not respond to touch what so ever essentially locking me out of the phone unless i pop the battery again. Ive tried the basics, hard reset, changing lock screen settings. Any ideas? Even with a reset im leaning towards a software issue as it works fine once i do get in. I appreciate any input, thanks
Had a simular issue mine was caused with an issue regarding superuser permissions and my set cpu enabling when screen timed out. Seemed my cet cpu wasn't getting superuser and wasn't abling my phone to turn on.

Restore using a SBF, if you look under the general tab, probably page 2, look for my fast/easy unbrick. This can be applied to a unbricked device as it restores EVERYTHING back to 5.6.890 (leaves SD cards alone though). That should fix your problem.
First I want to thank all the people on here who have help me out many, many times and never knew it. That's why this is my first post but unfortunately I can't find an answer this time.
I have a AT&T GS4 Active that up until yesterday was rooted since new with no issues. About 3 months ago I noticed a yellowish half moon halo on the left side of the screen halfway up that does not show up on screenshots. Then two days ago I was dialing a number and the screen just froze and would not respond to any touch. I pushed the power button to black out the screen and then again to turn the screen on and it worked fine for a little while but got progressively worse throughout the day to the point where it was unusable.
I than un rooted it and that did nothing so I re booted the phone to factory and attempted to do the OTA update many times, it would download and then reboot and at 25% it would stop and not load the update. Since the factory reset the screen has frozen twice so I can only assume it is going to get worse again. I don't know if the "yellow halo" means this is a hardware issue or not. I am willing to SS and install a ROM if anybody thinks this will help.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

It sounds like a hardware issue, but you could always try flashing the ML2 Odin files to see if it fixes anything. Make sure you do not flash the ML2 bootloader or you will be stuck on ML2 with no way to downgrade.
about a week ago i started to have an issue were i push my power button to turn the screen but all my icons would be unresponsive until i turn the screen off than on again it would work fine. i called att and was told the software update messed up some setting in my phone and they needed to do a hard reset and it should fix it well that only made it worse. there sending me a new phone but has anyone else had this issue?
I have the exact same issue. Did AT&T send you a new phone? How did you resolve the issue?
Guys there is already another thread that's been going on for some time.
Mods please close this!
@cheetah2k is right.
