Display Problem: it's flickering...HELP!!!

I've had my new Touch HD for a few days now.

It didn't take me long to notice the horizontal bars flickering on the title bar. If I pay attention to it it drives me nuts. but if I don't pay attention I mostly don't notice.

I assumed it was either a perfectly normal artifact for some LCD, or something perfectly normal for the way our eyes work. I've seen it every now and again on my LCD PC monitor at certain web sites. I always assume that it is just bad art design and I assume the same this time.

Sometimes I can see it and sometimes I cant depending on the light... the angle of the screen and how close I put the phone to my eyes.

I want to just replace that graphic with something that doesn't flicker. I thought it would be an easy solution. However, after searching through all the many images in the windows directory on the devince, I couldnt' find one that looked like the horizontal lines that are causing the flicker... too bad. Maybe somebody else might have better luck

To remove the flickering curtains on your screen, I installed this cab, attached in another thread:

Now the only flickering I see is when I change to the ring volume screen.

But many others don't have it...

Everybody has it, not everyone admits it though

No seriously, it's there for all HDs.

Well, in few days I will verify it by myself. But other people who get it replaced, could verified that the new ones don't flicker...or they all are liers?

If you read all posts then you would notice that some who had those HDs replaced "started" seeing the issue after a few days.
My take on this, it is always there. It's a placebo effect for those who just got the replacement. Some are kind enough to mention it here, some are... well maybe just upset that they went through all these troubles for nothing.
Also in many posts here you can see that people describe the same effect seen on their laptops. In my opinion this not a defect it's just the way it works.

well, i also replaced my hd through amazon 2 days ago... really the flickering is still there... best to see in the system overview after clicking in title bar...

not sure what the nocurtails.cab do - but it's still there....

maybe its a failure and maybe we should wait till replacement 6month...

Yesterday I got my new HD from Expansys. It's a WWE while the previous one was an ITA TIM Brand. Well after one day of test I can see that there's NO FLICKERING. I will wait some further day to confirm it definitively.

i can confirm this. Got a HD for my Dad today, no flickering. It has a new ROM-Version GER, date: 11/05/08 V 1.14.207.2 (24011)

Well after 3 days...it started to flicker as well...I would say in my opinion it's a combination of causes...

...jup, just the same i did, works perfect

not really a "problem saver" but a very elegant way of getting rid of the flickering top bar

Yes It does...
What can you say about it?

obender · Jan 7, 2009

I'm wondering why is it that UK and Europe in general get ROM updates last?
Seems like everyone got them except UK and EU.

Olaviman · Jan 7, 2009

Now hotfix is available on eu site.

yep and UK too

That "fix" from HTC just seems to remove the strips in the top bar in TF3D so surely that's just covering up the problem?
