This morning i got up and my screen looks as it was broken. Just like broken glass or something. Since my phone is just next to my bed i thought i accidently stepped on it during the night, but upon closer look it was not the screen but the software.

Everything seemed to be working normally, only in TF3D the is a pattern that makes it look like your screen is broken. When you switch to WM 6.1 screens it disappears. Switch back to TF3D and it's back.

Softreset solved the issue.

Any other people having this freaky issue?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TheBundo:
You could think of it as a feature, like those fake bullet holes you put on glass. Too bad you can't figure out how to control it. :D

Happens to me twice now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kdonath:
Happens to me too almost every second day. The other thing what happens in the morning, is that it reboots automatically.

I thought it is related to the charger, I was not using the TP charger, but a general USB one.

Now I switched to the factory charger, whith the factory cable, and still happens.

Somebody load magicSS onto thier device.....set it to a hardware button of some sort (if you can) and get a screenshot of it when it happens.

Had this problem on TytN II

I experienced this on my TytN II. I had it replaced in the shop I bought it from. It never happened again.... Don´t know if it is exactly the same issue but it looked the same as the screen shot above.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Syphon Filter:
Had it on my Touch Pro, I'm convinced its a software issue.

If it happens to you guys again try this:

1. Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items: Here, uncheck TouchFLO 3D.

2. Exit to today screen (you should see nothing but a black screen and the top and bottom bars (start menu etc)

3. Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items: Here, check TouchFLO 3D.

4. Exit to today screen. The TF3D interface should now be back and look like normal.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WDawn:
Me too, especially because other software look normal.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Syphon Filter:
Exactly, all other programs/the rest of the interface is fine. ONLY TF3D is affected by this "broken glass" issue.

It's gotta be a software issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fly_hnl:
I had the same problem the first morning I got my TP. Then it didn't happend anymore. But today (5 days later) I got it during the morning.

I tried disable and reable the tflo3d plugin but it still was the same, only a sofy reset will help...

I think it's a software problem because the main clock isn't updating in stand-by mode (ounce I turn it on and the clock was set 30 minutes ago and then the clock fast fowarded itself to the right time) when the phone is set on a long time in stand-by mode and needed to be awakened, the clock need to adjust itself too much and the tflo plugin will crash.

Anyway if somebody knows how to solve it :)

btw, in a dutch forum many people got this issue..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Syphon Filter:
If it happens again try launching some other application such as google maps, calculator, the messaging application (ie inbox or full message view etc) and see if looks ok. I am guessing those other applications will all look fine and only TF3D will be affected by the broken glass.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WatskeBart:
Hopefully a software problem.

I´ve never experienced the "broken glass" issue, but however as i posted earlier i got this screen (see attachment) when i woke up. Afterwards it suddenly disappeared with the error message from TouchFLO3D that i needed to restart the application. After restarting i´d never happend again.

Hoping new ROM´s will fix our issue´s.

EDIT: I noticed that all this screen issue´s usually happens in the morning how weird is that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] onderduiker:
It looks like only the rom 1.90.401.1 has this problem ???

Is there anyone with another rom that can confirm this problem ?

And I think we have two different problems, ''the broken glass'' and ''the grey screen'' like the attachment of WatskeBart ??
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WatskeBart:
I'm curious about that and hopefully the ROM is the problem because that is fixable factor :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WDawn:
Yes, the grey screen is defenately another issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WatskeBart:
I agree that it is a totally different issue but i think the root of the problem lies in TouchFLO3D application perhaps.

I started today to have the same problem, after about a week of no problems. I have ROM 1.90.405.1 WWE and Radio 1.02.25.19 and Touch Flo 3D 1.2.3459.1.1813.6, I have it happens twice in less that eight hours. Every other app seem to work without problems, could it be related to the OpenGL part?? I have to softreset, if I disable the TouchFlo 3D in today settings, I send an hibernate request (Free RAM) and then try to load it, it keeps the 'broken' look. Any clue? I'm thinking of sending it for service.

Regards,
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] :
could it be that something is corrupting the graphics files loaded into RAM and causing the broken glass effect? it seems like it's temporarily solved with a soft reset but then comes back again after a while.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kahuna0k:
Today I also get the 'grey screen' effect. Only way to get device working again was to soft-reset. It seems that this unit is too buggy for normal use, thinking seriously on returning it back until the fix all the problems.

Broken Glass - How about a memory leak or a cache filling up and not clearing properly?

Have you tried these two tweaks:

Boost TFL3D Performance --> Using Advanced Config, change File system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072

Tested and works a treat. TF3D is sluggish and prone to long pauses before tweak, much faster afterwards

Boost TFL3D Performance --> HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs and change key Cachesize from 16384 to 32768

Much quicker than number 1 on it’s own, now stonkingly fast.

from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=413562

WARNING - some users reported that tweak two caused their machines to hang and only a hard reset fixed it. I observed that boot with these settings is much longer - I guess because the phone is able to cache more at boot which takes longer.

Another issue you all need to consider when trying to troubleshoot this is what other non-standard apps you have installed. You might all have a common factor third party app that is the real culprit.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] b0yce:
Thought I would add to the "broken screen" debacle.

Was awake before my alarm this morning (baby daughter :rolleyes:) and went to the phone around the time the alarm was due to go off to keep the noise minimal. Then noticed the screen backlight turn on, time show 06:44 and then flick to 06:45 (probably 2 seconds) and then the alarm went off as per normal.

The problem is that when I turned the alarm off, I got the "broken screen" whereas when it came out of standby (at 06:44) it was fine. This was the first time for me in over 2 weeks of having the device! I even saved the state and have only just got round to installing a Pocket PC Screen Grabber to show - hence the massive time that has elapsed!

I know turning off TF3D and then turning back on or Soft Reset will work, but thought it strange enough after 2 weeks of use and to confirm to those others that have not had the occurrence.

Get SPB SceenShot here

Edit: Just performed the Turn off TF3D in the Today section and turned it back on, but this didn't work! So Soft Reset seems to be the only way of solving this for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fly_hnl:
I had a broken screen today again. I did tried the 2 boost tweaks and the problem is only in tflo3d, start menu, agenda, google maps all are working normal just tflo3d is broke, only a soft reset will fix the problem.

I don't think the problem is caused by the tweaks, cause I had my first broken glass the first morning I got the phone. Back then I did not any tweaks or installed any programs. After 2 days I begin to install and apply tweaks and it resulted that I haven't seen the broken glass till today. On the dutch treads there are also people having this problem even without applying tweaks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] groofoo:
does anybody contacted HTC about this (broken glas, greyscreen)?

is it under investigation by them?

and how many roms are out there for the touch pro?

and do they all have the same problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] onderduiker:
I tried three original HTC images, and all have problems.

Right now I switched off thouchFLO and try Spb mobile shell (good looking :)).

So far so good, no grey screen, no broken glas and no resets at night. But I have to be carefull, because I just tested it for two days.

So far........we shall see ;)

Tried a few things, and as you can read in your "own" thread the "broken glass" problem is probably fixable (mine is fine now :). The "greyscreen" problem is related to touchflo. Turn it off and the problem is gone. So I think we have to wait for a fix from HTC for that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WDawn:
Shutting down TF3D defenately does the trick, i'm working with my TP now for over a week with TF3D disabled and had no crashes or hangs. That piece of software, how nice looking it may be, is not ready for prime time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] groofoo:
no freezes, no broken glass, and no greyscreens of death so far.

(knock on wood)

only now and then TF3D is rebooting itself.

and it is doing it really fast, so it is not a big problem for me.

i guess i lam really lucky with my TP.

i ordered it, then read about the problems, was really concerned but it is working rather well.

still i hope the problem for all you folks is solved by HTC soon.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] onderduiker:
Lucky you, and keep knocking on wood :D

For a few days I tried TF again, and have just one greyscreen counted and no reboots or something (now it is my turn to knock :p). But, but......I am missing mobile shell.......so, again......switched off TF and back to mobile shell and try it for a while. Think I am gonna buy it, and stay by this one :)

Broken Screen

Hi All,

Started to have the broken screen after about one week followed a couple of days later by greyscreen (garbled mess).

I have to say I put quite a few 3rd party pieces of software onto the Tpro.

I finally deiced to do a hard reset at the weekend. I have also been a lot more reserved about what I have loaded since the reset.

So far it it has been fine.

I have only loaded the following and believe there to be no conflicts (I hope).

Coreplayer

TCMP

Andreas Falke weather database editor

TomTom 6

J.S Advanced Config tool 3.1

Microsoft .NET CF 3.5

What I have not loaded is

TF3d editor

Battery performance software

DivX Player

Just maybe there was a conflict with one of the above or another program I loaded. Anyway so far it has worked for me.

Regards

GW
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WDawn:
I don't think so, it will probably be back in a few days. Only way not to have it is to shut TF3D off.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NZtechfreak:
Just had it a few minutes ago, very concerning! I'm relieved its only software though - had my first N95 screen die and thought I was looking at the same thing with my TP after only 10 days!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rakdoll:
Can someone confirm that this is only software? As it could be possible, that parts of the hardware used with the tf3d are faulty also? I once broke my graphics card on my PC, and had issues only with certain resolutions and in certain situations. That was definetely hardware, which also occured only in a small parts of software.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DSF:
If it was hardware then that "effect" whouldn't be permanently there?

So it must be a software/video driver issue. They really don't have a beta-test team? Or they are using the mass for testing? :mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] onderduiker:
Shut off your Touchflo and the problem is gone. So yes it is only software.

when you say plastic...did you mean the screen protector? The screen protector that came with the phone has a hole that you can align to the speaker so it doesn't block it.

What the *#+~! I know this was a bit stupid but I reckon this must've been programed by yet another stewpid freak! Guess what, every 00:00 hours the TF3D reloads itself fresh!! Whether or not the home screen on the clock page, it just acts silly!

Does it really take that long for HTC to realize their bugs? I mean ever since Himalaya was released, HTC was very slow in responding and still they are!

I guess the clock and the home page engine are not compatible as they should be!

Any other version of TF3D have the same bug?

Sorry 4 being such a noob! :o u guys wer ryt

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nerdcissus:
Observed causes

My Touch Pro (ROM 1.90.409.6 NOR) has had the broken screen issue on waking up from sleep regularly, and also frequently hangs instead of waking me up in the morning. Hard reset does not help, even when I don't install programs, and don't change anything at all.

There are however three things I can do that solves the problem.

1: Stay somewhere else. I live very close to a mobile base station (transmitter) that is directed away from my house. All 3G phones in my home seem to switch back and forth between 3G and Edge coverage very often. I have never experienced the broken screen issue or hanging when waking up from sleep mode away from home, except once, when I spent 5 hours in a concrete cellar.

2: Disable 3G by setting network type to GSM only in "Settings / Phone / Band". No more broken screens, always wake up alarm, when 3G is disabled, even when i have TouchFLO 3D as my GUI.

3: Disable TouchFLO 3D by deselecting TouchFLO 3D in "Settings / Today / Elements". No more broken screens, always wake up alarm, when Touch Flo 3D is disabled, even when 3G is enabled.

Now, the above are pure observations, not interpretations. This is what fixes my newly hard reset Touch Pro. Any one of the 3 things above. No need to do more than one.

What I think, or suspect, is something like: The constant switching between 3G end Edge is sometimes enough to "affect" the video memory of the GPU when the Touch Pro is in sleep mode, so that when it wakes up, we see "patterns" (memory failures) in the bitmaps that have been stored in video memory since before sleep mode. TouchFLO 3D relies on GPU hardware acceleration to slide window contents around, and just maybe doesn't redraw all window contents on wake up from sleep, while the other applications redraw everything by default. Maybe that explains why disabling TouchFLO 3D works as a solution. Maybe sometimes video memory is affected so much that TouchFLO 3D or even the GPU hangs instead of waking up from sleep mode with an alarm or call. Pure speculation on my part, but it fits the observed symptoms and causes. What do you think?

BTW: I have heard about people who have these symptoms on both Touch Diamond and the new Touch HD. Might be the same thing.

[Huawei P40 Pro+ Questions & Answers] SloPoke23:
Anyone having a problem with the Huawei camera app not geotagging pictures correctly? Most of the time pics have the correct location, but a large percentage of the time, pics will be geotagged kilometres off. Two pictures taken in a row, first one is ok, the second one geotagged a few blocks away. This happens with location services (Google and Huawei) turned on, or with all location services turned off and supposedly relying entirely on the GPS. Doesn't happen with another camera app, OpenCamera. Also, track recording apps don't have a problem recording an accurate location. It's just the Huawei camera that's off.

Anyone seen this and maybe have a solution? Does it happen in EMUI 11?
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Questions & Answers] SloPoke23:
Think I may have solved it. With Google Location Accuracy turned on, picture geotags are sometimes way off the current location. Turn it off, and so far they have been accurate. We'll see if it stays that way.
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Questions & Answers] SloPoke23:
Nope not solved. I took the phone out on a hike yesterday. Google Location Services, Bluetooth, WiFi, all turned off, should be relying

only

on the GPS. Several pictures were geotagged kilometers away from my actual location. I was recording my track at the time on the phone and it appeared to be more accurate than my standalone GPS backup unit. It also baffles me why the camera app records the image direction in only a fraction of the photos
[Huawei P40 Pro+ Questions & Answers] SloPoke23:
After much experimentation I've come to the conclusion that the geotagging in the Huawei camera app is inconsistent and useless. What a disappointment for so expensive a phone that takes such great pictures. Unless I'm using some special feature or can correct the geotags afterwards, I'm dumping it in favor of OpenCamera. Can someone suggest a better camera app?
