HTC Evo Design 4G Screen Flickering & No Wi-Fi
This morning my phone began experiencing issues I've never seen before. I left my house for awhile and had no access to wifi, so when I came back home naturally I decided to turn wifi on. I went to the settings page and tapped the "off-on" slider thing beside Wi-Fi, and it just said "Turning on..." and wasn't actually turning on. The slider stayed grey and on the off side. I checked my phone after a few hours and it said "Error" under the Wi-Fi option -- so I tried to turn it on again. Now it's just saying Turning on... and has been saying that four five or six hours.
I held down the power button and turned my phone off then back on, I restarted it, I took the battery out and put it back in, I factory reset it and cleared the SD card, I took the SD card out -- none of those worked. I ran a security scan through the SD card and internal storage before I factory reset it and it found nothing. This is leading me to believe it's a hardware issue, which would supersuck.
A couple of hours ago, my phone screen began flickering pink and yellow super fast like lightning any time I touch the screen. I turned auto-brightness off and it's still flickering no matter how high or low my brightness is. I don't believe there is any water damage as the only water that has been on my phone is maybe a few tiny drops here and there from checking the time in the rain or condensation from a water bottle. I've dropped my phone on a few different occasions and in fact I dropped it last night (I'm not careless, just pretty clumsy :-[).
If anyone knows what could possibly be wrong, please give your suggestions here. I've had this phone since 2011 and I really love it, is it savable do you think? :'( Would maybe rooting it help?
