Hi i have a question to ask what is wrong with my phone screen? I washed my phone yesterday using tap water and its all good. But last night while using it the screen suddenly turns fade white or like a negative effects. Everything on my phone is working correctly i meant the touchscreens, wifi, and other functions is working well. I assumed the problem is the same like on this thread . Tried drying my phone using the hairdryer (i don't have heatgun) for a few hours but still no luck. The problem still persist. Please help me someone? Maybe the screen need to be replace? Or maybe the motherboard is damage because of water?
Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance.

Hey guys,sorry for bringing this up.
Whenever i dial,screen goes black and doesn't come back on.
If i place it flat on a table,then it gets lit but as soon as i rotate the device it goes black again.
My HD7 recently started having this problems...
It started happening after i replaced the micro sd inside with a bigger one.
So my concern is that somehow it moved or got dust when i removed the back plastic cover? Where is it placed anyway?
I tried hard resetting 2 times but nothing works. It would be cool if there was a registry or app to take control of it. Can somebody help?
PS. i cannot send it back because i live in Albania (no official htc shops either around here)
Thanks!
Hello,
The proximity sensor is located on the top left of the device, you can see it when viewed under a bright light. Have you applied any screen protectors which can interfere with them? Replacing the sd card should not have any effect on the proximity sensor. When you rotate the device when the call is placed, the screen should go black by default cause of the sensor
@rhn thank you for your reply.
My phone does not have any screen protector or cover of any kind. Also,if i rotate it while in call it still remains black. As soon as i press the call button,screen goes black and wont come back until the call is ended by the person on the other side.
Really really annoying... Oh sometimes it even flashes after the call has ended...
Sounds like a hardware fault ...have you tried updating your rom?You can find a compatible rom in the rom development subforum..
Yep,tried that too. Just updated today and still the same issue.
It also happened after i changed the micro sd,so maybe something has moved in there. There's no other way than try to open the device and check it out,i guess :/
If you can think of something else,let me know

Thank god i still have my great HD2 so i can start opening this phone without fear
I just bought a Galaxy S from ebay and am facing this problem. Everything works fine on the phone and it doesnt look like there is any water damage. When I try to make a call the screen goes completely blank. I cannot disconnect the phone or do anything since the screen is blank. The only thing that I can do is remove the battery and install it again. Based on my research it seems like its a proximity sensor. I even went ahead downloaded Z-deviceTest and all hardware seems fine. I also upgraded to the official 2.3.3 from Samsung so I dont have a custom ROM, no root nothing! What can it be? Should I ask the seller for a refund or there are any tweaks for it. Any help is appreciated.

I'm not an expert, but seems related to a faulty proximity sensor indeed...

I am pretty positive that it is the proximity sensor as when I insert the headset calls can be made without the screen going blank. I dont have a screen protector and I tried to put some compressed air to see if that changes anything.
When making a call and the screen goes blank can you cover the proximity sensor for a while and see if its turning on the display? I kinda have the same issue sometimes and covering the sensor would normally do the job.

Same problem here, seems that plugging headset does the job. It is kind of lose or lose situation, even turning off (any idea how?) proximity sensor would not help as screen would be touched by ear Any other solution anyone? Or some kind of calibration? Check? Most applications from marked I have checked are crashing or showing 5cm from sensor regardless.
Hello, you are the owner of Xperia X1 and some days I see a black screen. It happened after I opened and then closed the track and suddenly the colors and pixels began to disappear until the screen became black.
I opened the phone, I got the ribbon flex and everything seems fine. No broken or cracked (not even). Once I touch the screen appears black work but now I noticed that not do anything you give him the finger.
From what could be the problem? After what I read were others with this problem but we found no concrete solution.The phone is no longer under warranty.
Excuse any grammatical errors but I am in Craiova, Romania.
No one help me? please!
why is the blue screen? The phone works, can speak on it but not see nothing...
The flex band is the problem?

Each repair center has its price, try asking to some center of your city. Let him check the phone because many times when a phone drops in water the motherboard may be damaged.
Put your phone in a bowl of rice and let it stay there for about 12hours. If there is any water inside the screen it should fix it. I also had that problem, my screen would fade to grey etc. and my camera got blurry. So i left it for one night and all water got drained. Try it before taking your phone to service.

I'm an informatic/electronic technician, this method sometimes works and sometimes not, all depends from some factors: the time that the phone spent immersed in water, the timeliness in removing the battery, if the phone was switched on immediately to see if it works etc. Control that the rice is humid after many hours, if is too humid empties the bowl and put another dry rice.
Yes I know, but i saved many phones using that method.

I'm not saying that it doesn't work, just that can work like can't work I tried only once just for test and worked, other times didn't work for factors that I wrote in previous post, more than anything else I say because if the method doesn't work the user can't say that doesn't work while sometimes works and sometimes not

Xperia V is not a waterproof phone. People sometimes mistaken it as one and handle it carelessly... In this case, most likely the display got fried because of water damage. There's no other solution than changing the screen.
