HTC m8 screen flickering - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wake up today picked my phone and it was like that ( screen flicker / shake a bit from the top , much noticeable on white color ) I thought if I restart it might fix but didn't help . the flickering was also on when booting . when I first unlock the phone the shaking was on the whole screen but then after unlocking it disappeared and stayed on the top side like 20% of the display also it's less on the black color . didn't try to wipe or anything as I thought it won't do good so what is that actually ? and is there anyway to fix or maybe prevent it from spreading to the rest of the screen ? that is hardware issue right ?

Screen flickering issue?

My friend has a desire x and has the screen flickering issue. Is this software related? should she update her desire x ?
Always better to check with service center...
Settings, development options, turn off strict mode and show screen updates...

I had similar problem with the screen that when I touched anywhere on the screen a shadow appeared on the center of screen similar when someone press a TFT LCD screen with a finger.
I have returned it back and got a new one without similar problem.
Although I have seen the same problem (but with the shadow at one of the edges) on a demo DX device.
Hi or so that you have the DX screen by pressing a finger to the screen as he swam like a laptop screen ??????
I have another flickering issue...
I've never mentioned anything wrong when touching the screen, but I've noticed that when the brightness is at low levels, the screen will flicker (like that) if the background is set at (light) dark colors.
I had never seen this happening with any of previous smartphones, so I'm gonna sent it back to htc (for this and the hiss issue) after finishing my exams and I'll report back.
Exactly, but I had this in the middle of the screen not matter where I pressed on the screen. And it was of course more obvious on dark or grey backgrounds.

Screen Brightness has gone very very low!

my 4 month old S3 has started behaving strangely. The brightness automatically becomes so low that screen is unreadable even when in recovery. even after increasing to full brightness it is very difficult to read. the screen has a strange coloured hue. For a few minutes brightness becomes normal n then again goes south. Phone is rooted since the day i got it . No problems earlier. Tried changing roms,kernels no improvement. currently on XXEMC3!!! Is the screen damaged???? any advice. thanks.:crying::crying:
You need a service centre possible buy a new screen / digitiser if so see DIY posts on XDA .

GSM - display not working/black

Hello All,
I have a serious problem: Today I cleaned my htc evo 3d's display with glass cleaner,
but I took too many drops and swiped with a cloth arround the display. So after a minute, the display began to flicker and then it went black.
Not the colour black, I mean that the light got entirely disabled. But I noticed, that the touchscreen and everything else is still working fine (I got vibrations: for example unlocking the lockscreen) .
So what are my options?
I still have warranty left but the device is unlocked and I see no way to relock it while the display is off.
I'd appreciate your help!

Hi this also just happened to me. Image is working but no brightness in screen except some bright ess in top right corner. Phone overheated a couple kf times and shutdown after this initially happened and consumed 2 full batter chages in minutes. Now the heat and battery problem is gone but screen still dark. Any ideas
Hi guys!
I`m having the very same problem. Back light of the main screen is gone, and it doesn`t matter how I adjust it, it is always dark.
Have you guys solved your problem already? Any ideas?

Having the same issue as of yesterday, been Googling possible reasons and it seems the 'backlight controller' has malfunctioned and the entire screen needs replacing (allegedly). Considering a new screen costs almost as much as the V10 itself on ebay these days I'm going to be trying to take mine apart to see if an easier fix is possible, it is more than likely there isn't, but I at least have to try. Let me know if any of you guys have any luck in repairing your phones

Update: Having replaced the screen with a new replacement screen, I am still having the same issue, indicating an issue with either the mainboard and/or the chipset. Can't really go much further with this it would seem so unfortunately I don't think the issue has any DIY fix...
Sorry guys... RIP my V10

I have Same problem,, Any solution ? please help me
My LG70 just did this for a few minutes
My LG70 just did this for a few minutes. Scared me to think my phone was dying. Restarted, still the same. While I was googling it, the screen came back on. Hope it stays that way. Really strange to take it out of my pocket and only have the screen lit in the upper right hand corner. I hope this wasn't a preview of things to come. Love this phone and want it to last!

Screen Overlay

Is anyone else noticing that you can see ghost images behind every screen?
Is there a fix for this?
TIA

It is called screen burn, there is a thread dedicated to this problem. Search for screen burn on this forum!
I'll check that out but how could it happen and this is the 3rd one I've had and they all did it. That's why i assumed it had something to do with the screen overlay.

life is this with V10, all have the same issue...mine only have 9 months since i buy it and have ghost images since 2 months from today and no solution...the only solution is send it to LG Repair Center and they change it, but mine lose the guarantee when i unlocked the bootloader so...i will not buy the screen since this is a known problem with V10 display.
better keep it going cool and avoid high levels of brightness only when is needed and avoid playing games since that warm up the phone and the screen will show ghost images. Then when it happens lock your phone, shut down the screen for 3/4 minutes and the ghost is gone...you need to do it everytime you see a ghost image and have trouble with them.
i dont bother with that...i love the phone anyway, when the screen die by itself i change it for another, but now let it rock even with ghost images.
Sofwtare side has nothing (mod or app) that can fix your problem...its the display problem (hardware).
Mine has heavy permanent ghosting that appears after minutes of use when the phone has rested overnight. Though I can prevent any ghosting from becoming visible by installing "Bluelight Filter for Eye Care" and set the filter to the black color with an opacity of just 3% (hardly even affects the maximum brightness). Stopping the display from showing the whitest of colors prevents the ghosting to apperar no matter how high brightness you have or for how long. At least on my unit. So now my screen is permanently perfect instead.

Thank you. I'll give that a try. Mine isn't that bad and sometimes doesn't show at all.

I had just did a factory reset and it's actually gone this time. I'm sure it will come back though.
I've been using v10 for a year now this image retention/ ghosting is really annoying but there's actually a solution to it by using screen filter.
if you apply the filter as soon as you turn on your phone after a while, when there are no temporary burns on screen. They won't come back if you keep the filter on.
I use blue light filter but I'm sure every filter will work even if you keep the filter at low opacity for example at 20%, it'll still work.
Give it a try.
and one more thing if the filter is on you might get an error while giving permissions to apps. so you have to turn off the filter when you get "screen overlay detected" error.
