Yes. I notice that mostly when the screen is dirty. Mine requires constant cleaning.

Maybe the glass/plastic isn't that good with moisture. I may get a screen protector today to see if it helps at all. I'll report back when I try it out.

Hi. So i have had a broken G1 just sitting on my dresser and was wondering if it can be repaired. Here's the thing. The reason it is not working anymore is because I dropped it on the floor of my flooded basement. Mind you, it does turn on, but the screen stays black. You do notice that the screen is on because it turns slightly gray. There have been instances where I have not touched it in months (just happened today) and it would fully work, but then after a couple of hours playing around with it the screen goes gray. So do any of you think that this can be repaired (at no cost). haha. I have a working g1 but it'd be nice to have 2! Thanks in advance.

It sounds like some things got damaged inside the phone, there really isn't a free way because you'll probably need to replace some parts. But there's someone in the forum that sells them pretty cheaply (don't remember their name)
I thought so. But just thought I'd ask the pros. Haha. Like I said, I already have one, so it's not that serious to try to fix it. Maybe I can sell it for cheap. At least I'll get something out of it. But thanks for your help. Really appreciate it.
I've got a similar issue, don't know if anyone can help but...Came out of work one day turned on my phone and started having issues with the widgets and a few apps on my phone (A2SD). Got home tried rebooting and recovering from a nand backup but didn't help, re flashed which didn't help, rebooted 1 more time to find that my phone would boot past 2 splash screens and then just stop at a black, backlit screen. I have it under warranty, no water damage, it was dropped aaaages ago but worked fine and this problem happened like 3 months after I dropped it so...Any ideas anyone?
It might be the flex cable inside the G1, the same thing happened to my sisters, she dropped it and you could only see the backlight light up. By the way, the Flex cable is a Pain in the ass to replace... well at least it was for me.. Good Luck
But wouldnt that mean none of the screen would work?
after water damage
My G1 fell in the bath tub while showering my kids. I quickly took the battery out, blow dry it and let dry for a month. Now, it turns on but each time i hit any button it gives a power off option.
I have taken it apart and cleaned the keyboard with alcohol. but still same problem.
Did i forgot to clean something or i need to replace a part?
please help!!

the problem is not the phone drop into the water, the problem start when u turn the phone on after u take it out from the water, so still wet and if u turn it on u gonna damage the circuits, so what i do its let the cell phone get dry not with a dryer ok, just leave the cell phone on a place is warm enough for like a day or 2 if u can and later try to turn it on maybe u get lucky and nothing get damage just get the steam it screen well thats my theory it works for me most of the time

put in in a bowl of rice to remove the moisture. its probably a short thats causing the keys to be recognized as the power button. check for anything that could be responsible for the short

I'm thinking your screen isn't connected correctly anymore, would probably need to open it and go check that out. There's a guide on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740022

Hey guys, my xperia z recently got wet and all the flaps were closed but somehow some water managed to get in. The phone is still working fine but there seems to be water bubbles on the screen and the screen color gets washed out. I used a vacuum to suck them out and it worked. The screen went back to normal, but after a few minutes it starts to fog up again and I have to vacuum it again. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I could fix this? Thanks

Take it to service. Or if you have experience you could try disassemble it by yourself and let it dry.
Thanks but I was thinking maybe there is an easier fix since nothing is really wrong with the phone. It's weird that if I just suck air out of the port the screen goes back to normal. After a while when it heats up the screen gets washed out again. I tried putting it in rice for 3 days but that didn't work.

Your screen is damaged with water, you can't fix that. You can only replace it to fix that problem.

Alright thanks for trying to help, but if u had read what I said carefully you'd known that the screen is fixed whenever I blow air into it but after some time it gets washed out again and I have to blow in it again. If there was something wrong with the screen it wouldn't be working at all. I was only looking for a way I could keep the air out on my own.Thanks anyways though

I'm not sure that I would describe that as "weird". It is obvious that you scraped it across that part. Not much you can do to fix it besides sand and paint.
Yeah, looks like you scuffed the bezel. I think the only things you can do are either repair it yourself or replace the device.

I'm not sure what to tell you. There's some kind of anodized finish on the aluminum frame. Polishing might make it look worse?

Hi, has anybody else experienced that their screen goes blank and doesn't come back on when on a call and what makes it worst is I can't hang up my phone after I'm done with my call. Basically I'm at the mercy of the other person hanging up when the conversation is done, the only way that I have resolved this problem is when I restart my phone. What causes this problem?
Do you have a tempered glass screen protector on?
Look to the left of the top speaker and you will see two sensors (proximity and ambient light). Is there anything covering these, such as a screen protector, skin, or case?
I do have a screen protector on the phone. Should I just remove it? I just find it strange that once I restart the phone that everything works as it should.

Because it doesn't check that sensor except when you're on a phone call.

When I bought my first smartphone, a Galazy S2, I bought an expensive (£10) screen protector. All it did was attract grease and fingerprints, so after a couple of months, after a sudden attack of common sense, I threw it away. The screen was suddenly always clean and smooth, and on every phone I've had since there has never been a single mark on any screen. Admittedly I do look after it - unlike colleagues who seem happy to literally throw their phones on to tables - and keep it always in an empty pocket with no coins or keys.
It seems very odd to me that we have incredibly tough glass on our phones (see the many people on Youtube trying to scratch their phones deliberately) and yet we feel the need to reduce their performance with pointless pieces of plastic...? Bizarre...

It sounds like your sensor maybe going. I have always kept a screen protector on my device and never had issues until I used a tempered glass one. The tempered glass was to thick to allow the proper amount of light in which kept the screen from coming on when a call came in or when on a call.
I would run a logcat and try to catch it happening. This will tell you just what is going on.

First before you get ahead of yourself. Find out if it is the screen protector. It is a cheap fix if it works and cheap to replace if it doesnt.

Because you are not sure if that is even the problem. The only time I had this issue was with a tempered glass one. This is a known common issue. I never had this issue with a normal one.

Have you bothered to pull a log at as I advised? This will tell you. Have you tested it without the screen protector as I also advised?
Just because it is the same sensor (which I doubt) doesn't mean it is programmed the same way.

I am running a logcat now and so far I have not experienced the same issue. I'll see what happens this weekend.
I had the same problem some weeks ago WITHOUT a screen protector but it never happened again. Could be the sensor which fails sometimes or a software related error. Are you using the stock phone application and stock kernel?

If it's a Phone app bug the only thing you can do is deleting its cache and/or reflashing the factory image. If this doesn't solve it, I would say it's an hardware fault, but I'm still prone to think it's software related.
