I just lost my DHD on the floor and now the screen resolution is really bad. It seems there may be missing a color. Anyone else who has experienced similar?
what? you lost your DHD on the floor? I think you mean you dropped it on the floor, right?
if you dropped it, it's possible that there is something broken now. can you make a picture of it with a camera, so it's easier to see whats going on with your display.
you can also try the system test by typing *#*#3424#*#* in your telephone app.

The screen on my Atom shakes in bright light. It's almost like there's two of the same lines and one of them is moving up and down maybe 1 mm or so. Has anybody else got that problem? It only happens in bright light, and it doesn't have anything to do with the veiewing angle, so it's not a trick of the light. The screen actually shakes! Oh, and it has done that on all the four (I think four) ROM's I have tried: The original it came with, the leaked ROM, the "Not for sale" ROM and the latest official ROM.
Er.. I have experience similiar problem too.. not with PDA screen, but with certain pattern (e.g. diagonal lines). As far as I know, it is my own eyes that is causing the problem. Before you go around finding answer for your PDA, try asking another person (the more the better), to look at your screen under the same condition, see if the person can see the same thing or not
If it is the screen problem, probably because it is a transflective screen? You are seeing the image of the reflective mirror at the back together with the actual LCD screen?
It would be a good idea, but my wife has seen it too, and this is my fourth or fifth PDA. They have all had the same or similar themes, and neither of the other units has had this problem. It's specially visible on the home screen, with the small writing for appointments and stuff. But this gave me an idea: I will try to change to one of the standard O2 themes and see if that changes anything!

A have the same problem. Not often, but looks like you discribe, but it doesn't depend of light. Usially its several seconds long, and after that it becomes stable. I think its hardware problem. As I know some people have prodlem with pitch noise of the screen.
screen flicker and sound
Have the same occurence with the flickering screen(thought something was wrong with my eyes, as well as the high pitched sound coming from the screen everytime i turn the unit on. i don't really mind the screen but anyone got any solution to the sound? :shock:
Shaky Screen
Well I have this problem too with my Atom. I think it has to do with the transreflective screen--mainly a hardware problem with the direct sunlight messing with the screen. As far as I know it doesn't hurt it or damage the screen. It just makes it annoying to use the Today screen or the Wireless manager in direct sunlight. (I got this info by doing a search for the screen, try 'TFT' or 'screen problems.')
As far as I know there is nothing you can do about it.
Also with the high pitched noise--mine has finally gone away, or my hearing has just gotten worse and I've lost the ability to hear a sound at that high of a pitch.
I hope this helps!
I see... I hope mine goes away too :wink: I can leave with the flickering screen but the noise is just plain annoying :?
Just my expenrience.
I have read and tried the overclocking thing on my Charmer. And I've noticed that, if I were to underclock the unit approx 110MHz, the screen will flicker under the bright day light. I'm not sure if you can overclock your Atom (e.g. is it OMAP processor? Do a search before attempting anything, it may kill your unit). Maybe you can solve the problem overclocking it?
Hi guys, I need some help here. I literally threw my wizard out of the window shaking out my bedsheets and it dropped three stories into the backyard.
When I turned it on again (the drop had opened the battery case), at first the screen was bright white, then turned darker and darker showing some sort of noisy stripes (static, not moving). When it goes into standby and is turned on again from there it does the same thing.
some facts:
- there is no visible crack in the display (neither from the side, I disassembled it)
- all buttons and the touchscreen are still responding (u can see that because the background lighting responds to them)
- the wizard is still accessible via usb
- I don't know whether the phone still works because I can't enter the pin w/o display.
It seems strange to me that the display should stop working while the touchscreen and the background lighting remain unhurt. I am thinking about replacing the display (only available together w/ the touchscreen and bg-lighting), but I am afraid that it might rather be a problem with the communication between the main unit and the display, even though there was no visible damage there.
Does anybody have experiences with that kind of behavior of the display?
Is the display that vulnerable that it breaks before the rest (light, touchscreen)?
I didn't find any cases similar to mine in the forum. If there are and my questions would be answered there, please direct me there.
Thanks for the help

Try taking it apart, the force of inpact could have made a connection loose.
Disassembling I disconnected everything possible. Next thing would be to take apart the display/bglight/tscreen.
did you mean that? looks pretty fragile to me...
thx
yeah, I wouldnt mess with the display .. lol .. I meant a connection somewhere inside the device... like a loose ribbon or something
Yeah, seems hopeless. Guess I'll have to buy a new display and hope it works :-(
I'll post again once I got some results...
Problem solved
For the archive:
I exchanged the display and apparently only the screen was broken and the rest was unharmed.
I'd also like to add that two days ago (1 week after I repaired the thing) I dropped a plastic bottle on the phone in such a stupid angle that it broke the touchscreen. the next thing I will report here is whether it is possible to exchange the touchscreen only by doing some soldering.
a/t
I have my Blackstone since almost 3 month and always with me. i wear it in my front trouserpocket - maybe it belongs to this.
When i turn my device in an almost horizontal attitude, so that the display-side is up, i can see a knik or bend in my display. I have to lock in a flat angle and from the inner-reflection (under the touchpad?) i see these bend. it look like a cut or something. superficial everything is okay, but on the basis of the reflection the bend is visible.
can anybody confirm this on his his own device?
So can i guess that nobody have this problem?
Now i experience differences in the sensetivity of the touch screen while i am typing on the display keyboard,
Can anyone confirm or deny it?
Last night, I flashed Touch-it 5.5 and got some new apps installed ...
Then I tested some of the apps...
Suddenly, I felt something was moving inside my device, exactly like a metal ball clashing the keyboard inside...But there is no G-senser in X1, why a moving ball?
Maybe some components fell apart? HTC ,you son of a...
I tried to slide the keyboard in, the sound got lower for a minute, something broken inside the keyboard?
While I was thinking the metal sound was back to the same level as before...
I placed my device on the table to keep it stable so that the "metal ball" won't move...but the strange noise still there...Definitely like a crazy cockroach hitting her head on the inside wall of a box which locked her for time...It really frustrated me...
Finally, I was thinking of the software even I strongly believe it was nothing about software as it was obviously a metal ball clashing sound. I reset my device...the strange sound disappeared the moment I pressed "yes" to confirm the reset operation...
From then on, everything is ok...Obviously it is nothing about hardware...
Anyone have the same experience?
seems only me...
What would any metal ball do inside Xperia?
Sounds like camera-related to me. Sometimes when you half-press the camera shutter (to make it focus), you can hear loud click (don't know exactly what makes it - either lens being focused or shutter - does Xperia even have a mechanical shutter?). This sound itself is probably perfectly normal - a number of other phones do that.
But in your case either software or hardware went haywire and focused again and again... Also I recall reading something about camera constantly focusing bug in some roms.
I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this. It is clearly a hardware issue, and I doubt there's much I can do since it's not under warranty AND has a hacked bootloader, but:
If it gets jostled too much, especially if a particular spot near the dock connector gets much pressure, the screen "glitches" and it becomes unresponsive. It even happened yesterday when it was on my lap at a 90 degree angle and fell over onto my stomach. It's very difficult to use it for more than a short 5-10 minute period without this happening unless I'm SUPER gentle with it.
The screen comes back visually and can continue to be "glitched" with that slight pressure to the right spots, but it never comes back to responsiveness. I have to hard reset.
I can create a video of this behavior if anyone thinks that'll help.
The whole thing is unresponsive - even with a mouse or keyboard attached, no response, so it's not like just the touch sensitivity is gone. I doubt anyone does, but if there are any ideas / good places that will repair it for a realistic fee, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Why not just pop off the back cover and take a look around for loose connectors? Won't hurt anything.
