Very strange - 8 month fault

I too have a DHD - this one is stock standard - got it back from employee today as he said it was not charging (worked right up till then). i plugged it in and got a flashing orange amber light. left if for a while noting would work. finally worked out if i inserted teh battery while plugged in it woud give me a solid charging light and vibrate 7 times.

Seems strange that they are all faulting at 8 months. Mine was an import, so it might have to go back to singapore or malaysia or where ever it cam from.

Checked battery it is at 3.8V so ok.

My warranties over and i've got the same problem!

I just wanted to know if your phone wasn't working at all before you gave it in for service? And when it came back, it was working again?

And be not ready to repair it, they weren't ready to repair it for a fee either?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gopiter:
My phone wasn't working at all it didn't boot even display splash screen...just vibrates.I heared phone services have devices called "BOX" which can unbrick your dead phone.I think they did it with my phone and when it boots they saw my own boot screen instead of stock HTC...so it was clear to them they can void my warranty and offer motherboard replacement for fee (high fee;) ).I didn't agree for that and phone returned to me unbricked.I just had to reflash hboot again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wannesdeloore:
I have the same issue: phone was rooted a month ago, got a custom rom (HoneySmartDroid http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420861) and used it just as a phone should.

Last Friday, all of a sudden, the screen froze and the phone took very long before he booted again.

Battery out, boot again and just the seven vibrations.

I got into the boot screen (Volume Down + Power) but recovery didn't work. Also factory settings didn't work.

I tried several things and ended with a PD98IMG.zip on the SD-card.

The img got recognised, was installed properly and the phone asked to boot again.

Reboot, seven vibrations, htc logo.

The last thing I want to do is to sent it in to HTC, because they won't fix it, I guess since it was rooted (which I believe has nothing to do with the issue).

Any clues?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngd24:
@wannes I had the same problem and what I did was use Ace Advanced Hack Kit and I downloaded the gingerbread rom and flash that through Ace and YOU WILL LOSE ROOT but if you want to root just use Ace to root it. Hope it helps
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wannesdeloore:
Thanks.

Problem is I got this message: Error detecting HTC phone on USB connection.

I guess the USB debugging isn't on for some reason.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
Can you get into hboot at all? Power + vol down keys.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wannesdeloore:
I can get into hboot. but no further. I can get into fastboot as well. but any other option is blocked with 7vibrations of evil, it seems.

Very strange.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
Is it still S-OFF in the hboot or not?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fredro:
I have exactly the same problem as the guy above.

My phone has S-ON, though it's a HTC Desire, GSM

Still it has the exact same outcome, tried all the methods as him aswell.

EDIT:

Made some progress atleast, I just reflashed the radio and I was able to enter the recovery, will try the RUU when I find an sdcard

Oh guys i have eleven months with my Inspire 4g and the same thing happened to me, it turned itself off and now when i try to turn it on , it just vibrates and the notification light, lights up and blinks in red, i tried to get into the bootloader but no luck , it vibrates again and the led goes green
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sws111:
How do you flash the radio and what is? Through recovery or, as pd98img file? Thanks.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmatine:
no one fix by jtag or something?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValdikSS:
Got that today in the morning. Yesterday the phone was fully functional, but when I woke up it was powered off. I thought the battery is drained so hooked it up to the adapter, then yellow LED starts blinking. Tried to power it on, but no luck. Once I saw a battery charge animation on the display but right after that it doesn't blink LED anymore and now only vibrates 7 times. It's Inspire 4G from almost the beginning of sells, I bought it on ebay with broken screen, changed the screen and it worked more than half a year.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garang:
Unfortunately, I also now suffer the same problem with my DHD.

I can go into bootloader and select options. But once I select recover (or normally on it), it will vibrate 7 times and get stuck.

Tried flashing recovery using android flasher but to no effect.

ANy idea?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValdikSS:
Just bought another Inspire 4G with cracked screen on ebay for $60.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soho_bel:
if it vibrates 7 times it may be boot loader damaged or may be hardware problem.

i got this kind of problem 5 month ago, and successfully flashed boot with j-tag riff box, but now have the same problem with another inspire, flashed the same boot but it is the same problem. so i think its the hardware problem
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GBIC:
I also have this problem, when I try to access recovery from boot loader.

But the boot loader itself works with no problem. :confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jheller:
For the record to help some of you out who ended up here Googling: I had a similar issue. My HTC Desire SV did not boot, and when charging, only had an orange flashing light, and the phone vibrated 7 times. I did 2 things that got it back up:

1) left the phone off for say 10 minutes (I read about overheating issues in general, although the phone did not feel hot).

2) removed the battery for a couple of minutes.

VERY IMPORTANT: for step 2: make sure to have the battery removed long enough to drain internal charge. I removed and installed the battery in a second or so at first, and still the phone did not boot. After leaving out the battery long enough, it booted again. It appears to me that the issue in my case was a rather big internal charge capacity which kept internal state (memory and/or CPU?) from booting. Hope this helps...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quintaar:
I got 'new' Desire and I'm stuck with similar issues. I managed to flash hboot and up it to 1.02.001 and now not much would work. I cannot find original RUU for my phone as this was for polish (Era) provider and none seem work.

Right now Fasboot works ok I can read data using ADB but none of files i send - work. I struggle with Gold card as phone is dead and I have S-ON. I get 7 vibrations when I get to recovery - any ideas?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jheller:
Can't help with stock ROMS, but I see the HTC Desire has a Cyanogenmod ROM, and a ClockworkMod Recovery exists as well. Did you try these? I suspect this is not the issue though, thinking out loud. See the dedicated post I started about the does not boot issue. Hit thanks if this helps a bit; your issue resembles my issue more or less. As far as I could figure out so far, is that the /misc partition is used to determine which partition to boot from. So when you would like to use HBOOT to start recovery, it actually writes info to the /misc partition, reboots, looks at the /misc partition what to boot, but this fails. You keep the black screen, and get 7 vibrations then? I'm eager to know how you manage to get back to HBOOT after that. Do you have to remove the battery, and for how long?

This is a long shot, but would "fastboot boot recovery.img" of the correct CWM Recovery start recovery?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quintaar:
I ended up restoring the unbranded rom on the device (mostly accidentally) the only thing I did correct was to load .img file with hboot. after this splash screen turned from branded to plain HTC, and it was stuck on 7 vibrations. (fasboot was ok, recovery not) - putting phone to freezer with no battery got rid of the stored charge and lowered motherboard temp. Now my phone resets randomly, and gets into bootloop unless treated with freezer again. If you are asking me - I got motherboard failure. I doubt this is software related.

HTC desire 500 when your android is vibrating open the cover lit the battery up your phone will stop vibrating press the battery back try to turn your phone on by pressing power button and vol up do this few time your phone will turn on it work for me i hope it will work for you too
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santos1911:
Woke up today, wanted to take of my HTC Desire 500 from my charger, when i noticed the phone was off and was showing empty battery... Tried to turn it on, 7 vibrations... Took another HTC Desire 500 that is my sisters and was at my place by chance. put the battery from my phone into hers, all good... factory resetted hers, updated everything from google play... restarted the phone... same thing... 7 vibrations... now tell me - what are the chances that TWO HTC desire 500 die on the SAME DAY from the SAME problem type - motherboard error? i'm thinking - a factory set up date when the phone is due to "die".

So pissed at HTC right now...

There's something about Android 2.3 (you could say Swiftdroid) that makes me want to keep it. It's probably obsessive-compulsive disorder as it's the latest version of Android that is available for the LG GT540.

Hi seniors,

I'm new to this forum. Just joined! I was a silent visitor to this forum since a long time. I didn't want to wait anymore. So, here I am!! :D

Guys, I badly need your suggestion to buy an Android smartphone. I love Motorola defy a lot, it falls under my budget and has a very good practical usability. However, I'm impressed with the LG Optimus Black P970 as well! :( I like the screen size, design and brightness of LG. Both devices have more or less same specs under the hood. I can overclock the defy to get 1GHz on par with LG.

So, what do I expect?

1. Budget under 20K (Indian Rupees)

2. Large screen

3. Decent hardware for fluid android experience

4. Nice cam for taking snaps and recording videos (720p preferred)

5. Good call quality and sound quality for music listening

6. Nice build for durability

7. Software update

8. Web browsing, navigation, emailing, document reading/editing, mobile presentation, and ip cams surveillance

9. Want to keep this phone for at least 3 years! (because I'm poor! :()

10. Decent battery life

I'm a web application developer based in Bangalore, India. I'm planning to develop enterprise mobile applications for my customers. So, I need a good device to test and demo the applications to customers.

Please don't suggest me Samsung Galaxies or Waves or Aces. I don't know why but I hate them. May be the design I think. :mad:

The choice is between Defy and LG Optimus Black.

Please give your unbiased suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Defy Vs Lg optimus black

i think u better to go with lg optimus black
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
optimus black looks nice..specs are almost same..op black has 4 inch screen, 720p,official 2.3 :) and it looks nice also..rest all specs are same..but dere is 4k difference btw defy and optimus black..think!!
[Defy General] xdaid:
1. Budget under 20K (Indian Rupees)

Defy is cheaper

2. Large screen

Screen larger and brighter on LG (but the phone is bigger than Defy)

3. Decent hardware for fluid android experience

No much differences

4. Nice cam for taking snaps and recording videos (720p preferred)

LG can record 720p, Defy cannot

5. Good call quality and sound quality for music listening

Defy has better sound quality

6. Nice build for durability

No doubts, Defy wins here

7. Software update

Ouch, Motorola is a snail, LG is better

8. Web browsing, navigation, emailing, document reading/editing, mobile presentation, and ip cams surveillance

Nice for both devices

9. Want to keep this phone for at least 3 years! (because I'm poor! )

Absolutely Defy, it should be something like life-proof

10. Decent battery life

Defy should be slighty better

Personally, i like my Defy because it is a compact device with a big screen, no space wasted on the front side! Then it's dust/water resistant, performaces are not bad.

However, the hardware counterpart in the LG Optimus Black should be a bit better and, of course, the NOVA display too. Another thing you may want to consider (unlike the Defy) the LG has a frontal camera, 2mp (wow).

Now, i can't tell you what's the best for you, let us know what is your choice :)
[Defy General] superfastmonkey:
I would also keep in mind the bad quality control issues on the defy, I know someone who bought 4 for his business about 3 months ago...all have to go in for the earpiece fault. Mine has been in for it, though I got mine before the production line issue was discovered.

Everyone I know with one has bad battery life on the stock Telstra Australian rom.

I got scratches on my screen in 3 days.

I get reboots quite often no matter what rom I have - I think it is q loose battery, I have jammed some paper in the case which seems to be working.

I have cracks on the bolts from dropping it numerous times- it is quite durable, but not as much as they make out.

I live the design and many aspects of the phone compared to my HTC desire , but I wouldn't buy or recommend a Motorola again.

Still, don't know if I would trust LG build quality either....
[Defy General] jasonmax:
4k difference... that's what made me confused. Is it worth paying the extra 4k just for nova display, 4 inch screen, 2mp front cam, 720p recording out of the box and guaranteed official upgrade to gingerbread?
[Defy General] gommers1978:
4. Nice cam for taking snaps and recording videos (720p preferred)

LG can record 720p, Defy cannot

Correction Defy can record 720p if you are lucky to get a red lense (Bayer). Check it with the retailer where you (if you go for the Defy) buy one. It does

not record 720p out of the box thats true you must do some tweaks by yourself if you are up for it. I can record 720p at 24fps on my red (bayer) lensed defy very well, allso on the stock camera app thx to walter ;-P.

2nd i would go for the optimus better support/upgrades then Moto will ever give you. But to pay allot more for the support.....

P.S. because of the price and durability and allready done experience with modding a motorola phone i chose the Defy.
[Defy General] jasonmax:
Here in Bangalore, we get defy with red lens only (June manufactured) I'm too not scared to tweak the phone to bring out the full potential of the phone. What did you do to get 720p on defy? Do I need to flash custom roms to get that?

Please point me to the relevant post so that I can learn myself.
[Defy General] overclockthesun:
I am in Bombay and I got Defy with Green lens. It was manufactured in July 2011.
[Defy General] jasonmax:
I'm not sure about July manufactured devices... When I last checked, it had red lens :confused: so that I thought we would get defy manufactured post June with red lens ... :( Sad, it seems that I have to be lucky to get one with red lens, if I want to go for defy...
[Defy General] overclockthesun:
Just used the Catlog method to find out about my lens .... woopie its Bayer!!! :)

so green+Bayer means I can use 720p recording on the ginger leaked rom right?

its just been around 5 days since I got it. Am already feelign the urge to root and install Wiui or CM7. Also for some reason.... after installing a few apps.. my phone has become slow....
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
well 18.5k is not much.i bought my defy for 17.2k two months ago..anyways optimus black looks fine..nice specs...although defy has its own advantages..

if u dont want to install any patch or something then optimus black is good..it has 720p recording..front cam and LG updates dere android mobiles regularly..even 2.3 update is available..

i think u should go for lg optimus black..

hmm...or defy :D ..

i like my defy..looks awesome :) and also very good support in this forum..one of the most active forum(moto defy) in xda..
[Defy General] dheeraj_hotmale:
With a 5k price difference, I would definitely go for a Defy.
[Defy General] gommers1978:
If it is bayer and you want 720p video recording do not install CM7 as i have read in the CM7 forums it does not support 720p. Then i would suggest to install a nandroid and fixed sbf for a 2.3.4 original ROM.

(I myself recommend do not flash a full SBF but use a nandroid and a fixed SBF maybe others have a different opinion)
[Defy General] overclockthesun:
Ok, I am also interested in the Motoginger 2.3.4 ROm which is based on the leaked defy+:rolleyes: rom....

and I am going to do it the Nandroid + SBF way :)

one question: I am on stock 2.2.2 Froyo from Moto. MY phone came pre installed with the bug free SEA version. Got it a few days ago.

My question is to install a custom rom like 2.3.4, do I still have to do a Nandroid + fixed SBF flash or just fixed SBF? since Ialready have 2.2.2 installed.

that si my only doubt before I get started. Want to keep my downgradablillty.
