Just bought IPhone 4 cheap figuring I'd fix it & make a quick buck. The screen is black. I've replaced screen but still same problem. The seller says he dropped it. Could it be water damage.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1
I can really blame this one on the dog. Walking to my desk, phone in hand, excited puppy races along and bounces into me, phone goes flying. Lands face down.Screen is white, and will sometimes flash grey lines when it seems the phone is trying to do something (like reboot). The music that was playing before the drop continued to play after. The touch screen does not seem to respond. The phone rings when people call me, and my alarm that I had set still went off. Itunes recognizes when my phone is plugged into my computer.
I've been doing research for a few hours trying to see if this is something I can fix - I opened it up to re-seat all the connections, and that didn't help (it didn't seem to make things worse either, at least). There are no visible cracks/breaks on the outside (I have not completely dismantled the inside to see from there).
Phone is a week past warranty, and I don't know that this would have been covered anyway. I'm prepared to fix it myself, as long as I have a good idea what I need to buy. Should I be looking at an LCD replacement? A digitizer replacement? Something else? I've read conflicting things on this. Thanks for any help that can be offered.
First off when I take my phone out of lock or wake up it from sleeping the icons are missing till i wipe my finger across the screen.. its weird to explain but its kinda like i have to swipe the whole screen for the icons to be visable the same thing happens when my phone goes to sleep and the keyboard is open.. any ideas?
and another thing is sometimes ill be writting a msg and my phone will make 3 beeping prompting type of noise any idea what this is?
I normally put my phone in it's case, in my bag or whatever in a spot I know it won't get banged up or such. However today, the one day I do not, it falls between the car door and my seat just as I am closing the door. I hear a crack, I open the door, and viola! There is my phone, bent, the LCD screen broke so I can't see out of most of it, however it still can make calls and the like. It's only a couple months old, so it's making me rather upset that it got wrecked so soon, versus my old phone that lasted me three years and never got a single ding. I know the touch pad still works, since when I go to click on things or drag items that I cannot see at the top of it, they drag down. So it's just the LCD screen [I believe, feel completely free to correct me if I'm wrong, on ANY of this. Please, do. There are pictures attached as well to this thread.]
It still makes calls, I can hear just fine, the battery isn't busted. The only thing wrong is the LCD screen... and the fact it's bent a bit... [I can live with the bent part if I can just get the screen fixed!] any ideas on what I should do? Should I try to fix it myself, should I go see someone about it, or should I just replace the phone entirely?
I can notice a streakiness, almost checkered texture on all midtone colours. I think this is distinct from the apparent 'dottiness' of the pentile display. It's very apparent when scrolling around photographs because the texture moves 'underneath'. I noticed it immediately in the grey setup screens when you turn on the phone for the first time. It resembles what it looks like when an LCD's backlight is uneven or poor quality. Which might be the case. It's faintly visible on the flat tiles and when viewing large areas of white.
Between this and the streakiness visible when viewing black text on white, it's pretty disappointing for a fairly new smartphone.
I've tried turning off the screen lock pattern recognition by Settings -> Location and security and making sure Use visible pattern is unchecked ...
but the screen still locks and when I try to unlock it it shows the patern recognition dots .
I bought my Xperia active last Monday. But last Sunday, I noticed that the screen flickers. I usually use the phone with the brightness setting set to the lowest and that makes the screen flickering more visible. And also I am kinda new in using Android phones and Sony Ericsson phones, so I am no expert in manipulating this device.

The intensity of the spot changes it depends at which angle I am reading the text, etc. (well, this is rather obvious, I guess). I tried to reboot the device by removing the battery, it didn't help.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI always noticed a very subtle shading about a half-inch wide around the screen of my Xoom. In the last few days, I've noticed that it's much more pronounced, particularly on a blue background. It's very distracting when watching videos. I've tried various players, formats, etc...but I even see it on the home screen if I have a blue background set. Is my screen defective?

Upgrade to IOS 5.1 deleted all my received email on my iPhone and iTunes doesn't backup email. I can fix that just by resending all the messages from PC email client so nothing actually lost in this case.
However, my immediate issue is that I don't see a Mail option anywhere when I go into Settings. My previous mail account is still there and does actually send A forward from iCloud also works so it looks like I can receive at that previous mail account on the iPhone. But how do I get to a screen that will allow me to add/delete/modify mail accounts?

As per different threads I used BlackRaIn and performed the JailBreak Process. I was able to see GeoHot logo and I got a message saying, the jailbreak process will be done once its rebooted. After Rebooting, I don't see a BlackRaIn icon at all. I ran this process again and same thing, I don't see BlackRaIn icon.
I didn't get any errors and everything went smooth. Now in order for me to unlock, I wanted to install Snow but since I dont see the BlackRaIn icon I dont know how to proceed. Did I perform the correct steps and did I use the correct software(BlackRaIn). Appreciate if some one could shed some light for unlocking my device further.

Just switched from an ancien NOKIA to E52 and at the moment it's a struggle. I wonder if the white LED visible between the Home key and the Call Send key is normal. Sometimes it comes on together with the screen and sometimes it does not - so I guess it's not normal. And I didn't see it in any of the You Tube videos on E52.
