Motorola Cliq :: Screen Image Is Offset And Sometimes Black
Oct 26, 2011
After unlocking and entering my password, the top drop down menu jumped to the bottom. The menu accessability was still functioning from the top, however the entire screen shifted up. When I try to tap an app in the new, offset position, it will select the app below the one I am going for, suggesting that the digitizer is okay. When this shift happens, I press the lock button twice, swipe to unlock and it is good as new.....at least for a while. Now, there are times that, when I press the unlock button, there is only a black screen that lights up. I then press the lock button until my unlock screen appears.
I am running 2.1 and this was a replacement cliq, as my original took a swim in the terlit
I have a Motorola Cliq xt from T-mobile. I switched to AT&T with unlock code provided by T-Mibile. All works fine except for contact list. I downloaded contacts from SIM and now contact screen is black. Worked fine with T-Mobile. I do not use social network, any idea what causes this. The contacts are in the phone because when i dial a number in my list the name appears on the dial pad, however, contact list is black.
i just tried to check my emails on my phone, as i reached for it and slid the screen up everything scrambled with a yellow then blue then total black image of my background, and now the phone screen will not turn on at all. My keyboard still lights up and my green light is still blinking but i can not see anything on my screen.
My defy (Im in Australia) has just suddenly stopped taking photos. It goes through the motions and the flash still works and everything but when you goto the photo in the gallery its just a plain black image, there is no photo!
I just got this phone from someone who upgraded up. If I only want to use it for calls and texting and nothing else, should I update from its current system version 1.6 / Firmware version 1.5?If I wanted to do this manually, are system and firmware updates done separately and where are the download pages to do it manually?There are threads talking about how updates slowed down CLIQ MB200 phones. Do they slow down the basic functions of this phone? I see there are Android platform versions all the way up to 3.2. Is version 2.1 the last version compatible with MB200?Some threads compare updating this phone to installing Windows 7 or Vista on older computers - they would slow down basic functions on them so it's really not worth it to update. Is that comparison true when it comes to this first Android phone?
I have a Motorola Cliq updated to 2.1.5 through T-mobile.Up until this weekend, I had no problem getting Data pushed through whether I was in my area or my boyfriends area (his is non 3G and he does NOT have WiFi) ...I was at his place this weekend, and my Data ONLY pushed through when I was in a WiFi area and I had WiFi enabled.he problem is, now that I'm home IN A 3G AREA my Data STILL only pushes through when WiFi is enabled. I get NO INTERNET CONNECTION at all.I can't even get my phone to be recognized through the Motorola Troubleshooter now when it IS plugged into my laptop via USB ....Hoping to avoid a reset, even though I have everything synched through my Blur acct and Gmail
I inherited a Cliq 2 from my father-in-law and I have a T-Mobile sim in it right now. When I look at the system version, it is saying 1.1.28. From all the info that I've read, the latest version is 1.1.30. I've tried doing a system update from the phone, but it tells me that I am up to date.
The screen has been cracked recently, so my brother took it upon himself to buy me a Cliq (MB200) from someone off CraigsList for my birthday. I am not sure if this is the route I would had gone but it's not like he can take it back now. Luckily it is a Cliq with a T-Mobile emblem on it, which is my carrier, so there shouldnt be any problems. And it appears to be in excellent condition.OK, time to transfer the SIM card.First, we cannot get the newly purchased Cliq to recgognize my SIM card. It is an old T-Mo SIM card that has been transferred from A Samsung T-719 purchased in 2007 to a BB Pearl to a BB Curve and then to the Cliq2 bought in 2011. I do have newer SIM cards that have never been opened or activated, so that could be an option. But the SIM works fine in my Cliq2. But in the newly purchased Cliq we immediately get the "Please insert SIM card" message on the screen.Yes, we did do a factory reset and then re-tested the SIM.Wi-Fi works.We were curious if the SIM Card can't be read until we go through the Motoblur registration.Also, can the Motoblur info just be transferred from the Cliq2 to the SIM Card or SD Card so I don't have to login on the newly purchased Cliq?I forgot my Motoblur password and it is registered with an inactive email address, so a password recovery via email is not an option. Should I just open a new Motoblur account? Will it let me connect the same emails and social media accounts as the old Motoblur account?
I had a Motorola CLIQ for about a year already and after all the trouble i had with it...i dealt with it. Then last week my phone was totally messed up with the ghost screen problem (screen moves by itself). SO i called T-Mobile and like always the only thing to do is to reboot which i already did once when my phone was stuck on the moto blur screen. I asked for new one with my warranty. 5 days later (today) i get a new CLIQ. Started it up...waiting...Moto Blur sign in screen comes up...sign in...waiting...google sign in screen comes up...sign in...waiting...DONE! NOW I CAN FINALLY TEXT! i guessed wrong. The normal screen comes up with the green leaves with the old vesion of Android 1.5 (Cupcake) and then all of the sudden the screen turns black. The notification window (on the top) shows but under that its just black. 1 second later it shows the wallpaper...and then another second later it shows the black screen and has been doing that for 4 hours already. I pulled out the battery turned it off, charged it but nothing works and I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT ANOTHER 5 DAYS TO GET A NEW PHONE THATS ALREADY BROKEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. Is anyone having or had the same problem because i cant get anywhere through my phone. I also put a video since i dont see this problem anywhere in the forums.
2 weeks ago I dropped my cell phone, shatering the screen. I replaced the screen myself today (looks good a new) but I have 1 problem the calabration is all off, so I am wondering is there a way to calabrate the touch screen, I remember back with my old palm pilot there was a program that would have you touch the screen in 9 points to calabrate the screen is there a way to do that with the cliq?
I recently replaced the screen on this phone and since then I have not had a successful boot up with the phone. I have checked all connections inside and everything is intact. Without any display I am able to do a factory reset but cannot 'Recover' or 'Fastboot'. Additionally, I am able to get to USB Bootloader Init but do not know steps to proceed. I am not able to read SD card from USB connection to PC. Senses phone but does not show SD or content. Some clarity about whether this is a salvageable situation or not. I'm thinking that OEM ROM software is toast and needs to be reflashed onto ROM but not sure what the steps are for this.
I have Motorola CLIQ and updated to Blur 2.1.5 on April. Currently, when I click to start recording, the screen will freeze; but the recording counter time on top left is still continuing. Once click again to stop recording, the file will shows error and cannot play. I try to reboot the system, and it didn't work. The App I have are: Angry Birds, Barcode Scanner, Gas Buddy, Google Maps, Skype, Translate, WhatsApp, Zillow.
I see an unusual image like a black rectangular clock with the second hand sweeeping round a contact number shortly after I dial and sometimes just before I end the call
So I recently have been having problems with my phone and its screen not turning on. Its the original droid and I guess alot have people have had this problem. But I am at a fork in the road:(this is the thrid time the screen has done this)Last night I went to check my phone and it appeared to be off, my power button does not work so I have to plug it in to turn it on. But the charger light was on so that meant the phone was already on. the buttons lit up still as well. Being this is not the first time I took the battery out for about an hour and put it back in, plugged it in, and still nothing. The M sign that comes up when you first turn it on doesen't appear and neither does anything else on the screen. But when i recieved a call I could answer the call like the screen was working but still was not on. I left the battery out all night from 8pm-6am and still nothing but i can still answer the calls. Left it out until 2 this afternoon and still nothing. I have no idea what to do.
I am at the 2.2.1 level.When I "power-up" my BRAVO from a standby state, the "contacts" or "dialer" screen appears without any request from me. When I touch the "revert" button, the screen goes black except for the notification bar.I then need to hit the HOME button to get started.Is there some parameter that controls what "starts up" on wake-up?
After an attempt at upgrading, my Bravo now shows only a black screen with the small white bar at the top. I can receive calls, but that's it. I thought there was a discussion of this problem here, but I can't find it. Any way to get back to normal without losing home screen setup?
Today suddenly my motorola droid razr screen went black. i can see the notifications tray on the top and am able to slide it down. the 4 button on the bottom also don't seem to work except the back button. if i press them longer then they seem to respond. i have restarted twice already and even reinserted the microsim but no change. i got the device 4 days back.
i bought Motorola Razr XT910 from local reseller. though i am very satisfied from this great handset but i have a manufacturing defects. i have black spots on my display in black background which only show up when watched closely in very dark environment ie in night. i obeserved them almost after 5 days of my purchase and are very rare in daliy use. i researched on web and it is a common poblem with this handset and others with amoled screen but my spot decresed and have changed there position. i am big motorola fan and i have used cellphones from different make and build which include iPhone HTC Hero etc and witnessed various issues and defects in each of them.
My droid A855 shows a lit up black screen when powered on. When it finishes powering on, its still black. The Motorola logo and the droid eye don't appear while its powering on either. Now I can raise the volume, receive messages and phone calls, I just can't see the images at all; its all black. The back, home, menu, and search buttons at the bottom of the screen still light up white and work as well as the keypad. I turned it off and on and took out the battery about 8 times. I never dropped it or got it wet. I've had it for two years already so I guess the warranty is up. It just randomly froze and went black while i was texting my friend.
I haven't used my original Droid in about 2 months. The last time I used it, no problems. Booted up, used it, shut it down. I go to turn it on, and nothing... to be expected, dead battery. So I think I charged the battery. The charging light turns on. The backlight turns on, and that's it. It just stays like that. It either automatically does that when I plug it into a charger (car, home, or usb on computer), or if its unplugged, when I push the power button. Other than a black screen with the backlight turning on, I get nothing.This is not a stock rom on this phone. It's been a WiFi/Bluetooth toy for about a year now.I've tried powering it on while holding the "X" key, and it doesn't get me into the boot loader, just the black screen.
Got My Defy 2 days back. Last night it rained heavily and I had to walk from my office to home. It was a 30-35 minute walk. I put my Defy in my pocket and started walking thinking its a water proof phone. When I reached home, first the phone's screen didn't respond to any touch. After a minute it went completely black and I could see heavy moisture under the glass. Only sensors were throwing some colored lights. I tried to call from my friend's phone on my number, and I could listen to the ringtone only. I could not pick up the call since there was nothing at all on screen. Today I put the phone in rice for around 8 hours still the condition is same. Its very unfortunate that I could use and explore my phone properly even for 2-3 days.
My phone used to keep a charge for THREE days...it was wonderful! Now since the update, I have to charge it every day even if it's just standby. Plus, if I'm on a call with the screen turned off, when an incoming call comes in, I am unable to turn the screen back on in order to answer. Plus, sometimes the phone is so sensitive that when the face is pressed up against it, it goes haywire and cancels out a call. The sensitivity is way too high. I am using Straight Talk as my provider so is there a way, I can remove all the AT&T stuff? And which ones do I not need? I don't like a lot of bloatware on my phone.
I am helping out a friend who has a Nokia 6280. She claimed that it's infected by a virus because her problems started after using a Bluetooth headset. I don't quite believe this as I've heard it's more likely to be struck by lightning than to have this phone infected with a virus. Anyhow, the problem is the following: When you power on the phone, you get the Nokia handshake, then the phone loads. However, as soon as the phone loads, a bunch of black lines appear to streak across the screen rendering it black. That's not a huge issue because it goes away after a few seconds. Now I've read this could be an issue related to the ribbon that connects to the screen, but the screen turning black does not occur in any other instance other than right after when the main screen appears. I can play with the slider all day and nothing will happen, but like clockwork the problem appears after the phone loads.What gives? The phone works fine otherwise, so what could the problem be? If you need any more information I will be happy to provide. I've uploaded a video of this issue here (using my 5800 XpressMusic at night - the quality isn't that great sorry, but it does show the problem). Pardon the audio - my kids were watching Spongebob Squarepants so you might want to turn the audio all the way down! I guess my question is two-fold:
1) can this in fact be the result of a virus? 2) if this isn't due to a virus, what is it due to?
I had over half a charge after sending a text message yesterday around 3pm. I looked at the phone at 4:30 and the screen was black and the device doesn't respond. I removed the battery and put it back to no avail. If I plug it in, the green light comes on - the Motorola splash screen displays - then a battery meter displays.
