touch panel -fail

radio-5.08.00.04

Oct 12 2010, 14:33:16

PURCHASED:

Purchased in USA officially 2 years back, have also used in India with GSM sim, have never unlocked and never rooted.

May have ignored some app updates as nexus one has low memory.

CONDITION:

2 months back touch screen started being unresponsive at times. Slight water had happened, at which time phone was kept off and dried. Screen looks great, glass not broken, just non responsive now to touch. When it happened initially, it was resolved by draining battery and recharging to 100. Dunno if apps and battery were messing around, or if moisture was drying from the phone, or different charging ways. But now it's a non responsive to touch. Power, Volume and trackball are fine.

Attempted all combinations of following things:

-Clear Storage, Clear cache, Factory Reset.

-They lead to Touch screen to begin like in fresh android install. But can't touch. Trackball can go over Emergency Call and Language 2 buttons.

-Recovery Options:

update.zip from 2 sd cards 4GB original and 16GB being used on the phone. It fails at /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7)

-Phone connects to 3G and Phone network(with reset as well as 16gb sdcard software being used), and can see incoming calls but can't answer them as screen does not respond to touch.

FROM HTC:

HTC India said since this phone was not sold officially in India, they are not authorized to say anything, not even what touch panel fail means. Although HTC says Global Service. But I'll stick to the tech part.

Looking into:

-Touch Panel purchase and install

-somehow open up till the touch panel and clean those points and see if anything got loose.

:good:

So folks, what da ya expect? Is this a tinye99 or not?
[Nexus One General] n1newbie:
nooo. surely not. he seems to be from INDIA n his problem seems to be genuine.
[Nexus One General] neo.123:
Genuinity

A simple search indicated that some user had been banned in July on this website by tinye99 name. I don't know that person. Regarding honesty of problem: I think my uniqueness shines out in the question. The sequence of events and options tried are such that one can feel the troubleshooting and learning interest of this semi-tech lover.

This is my first post on this website, as usually all troubleshooting experienced earlier was resolved via active googling. As indicated, I had not installed the custom ROMS on this nexus one as wanted one straight working simple device in which I won't have to spend much time and efforts for ongoing maintenance. I helped out some friends tweaking their gadgets.

What was another part of heartbreak was that all the great things I loved doing with the smartphone was reduced when I moved to India. Got a harsh realization that Text to Speech navigation, Pandora, Google Voice, etc won't work in India. With my half-value of the phone and a silent pissed off feeling, I've been sailing on. Global usage, global service, all myths sometimes.

And many layman technicians around me may not know if there's some easy fix. I don't want to end up spending a huge amount on replacing the LCD/touch panel for this 2 year old (but great) phone. In tech, it's best to use engineering, problem solving and trials to reach accurate solutions.

I hope this convinces all to further believe that this is a genuine case, and also that I have done troubleshooting to my best abilities.

Thank you for your time.

Regards.

Please don't go too hard on any member :) Let's focus on enjoying the desserts (i.e., ICS and JB) :)

Well, tinye99 is a banned member that keeps on creating accounts every time to send more wierd questions, and this was your first post, so i was just wondering.
[Nexus One General] humzaahmed155:
The touch panel on this phone was an epic fail in the first place, you might want to try and reflash the Bootloader its risky, but you should try it unlock the bootloader flash a recovery using fastboot then flash Cyanogen Mod 7.2, assuming it has USB debugging enabled by default, and flash black rose, its probably the most fail safe method I've come across to flash a boot loader
[Nexus One General] kingofindia:
touch panel -fail

Facing the Same Problem after my phone fell into the water.

After it fell into the water, it was working fine for a couple of minutes until i removed the battery to dry it up.

then when I switched back on, the screen is getting stuck at the Bootloader screen, with no option selectable as the volume rocker does not seem to be working.

Opened up the phone, saw water had seeped in...to the part which is behind the battery compartment and could be the back of the touch screen panel..(thing with 8-10 large contact points)..

neo123 : what did you do? were you able to solve your problem?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
If the problem occurred as a result of water damage - then open the phone and clean the water residue. If you can't - then send it to a lab for repairs.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nachiappan:
Hi,

My new ideos X5 U8800 is unrooted and runs Android Froyo.

Sometimes when people give me a call, it takes 40 seconds to connect ! The caller hears nothing for 40 seconds and then hears the ringtone.

A similar delay happens when people call me when I am using GPRS actively (say, I am downloading an app). The same sim-card when used with another phone, works fine. So it appears that the delay is not because of a faulty sim-card

All the while, the phone reports an excellent signal strength.

I have read people experiencing missed-calls with GingerBread - but I am only running Froyo. I am my sure my phone was not sleeping (it was downloading an app) when I placed a call to it from my landline
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
Its probably a hardware problem. Back up your device and try upgrading. Contact huawei support if you want to see an alternate fix
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evaworld:
Oh, after using jelly bean for 3 days, i noticed that it eats all of Ram, only 60-110 MB free!!!!

And this cause very slow downs and FC alot,

While on ics there is about 200-250 MB Free!!! With the same apps

Is this bec. Of beta, running, and freezing all bloatware and the same aetup in every aspect

, is 1GB of ram isn't enough now days!!!

Again, i tried to use swap file using various methods with no success due to kernel support, is there any kernel or method to have working swap, or is there any workaround to have some thing similar to swap.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] little-vince:
The note actually only has 800mb, so it's not even a gig. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
well ram works differently on android then on windows pc, if its full it doesnt necessary mean that's why device is slowed down. Memory works differently.

Secondly jb, you are using now is not for everyday use. So you are bound to run into issues like this one. Also there is a memory leak in current builds. Which means that JB doesnt do that, but the current build does that because of a bug.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evaworld:
Yes i know that full ram may not cause slow downs, well it will slow down only when riched critical value and cause FCs , but you say that this problem in JB is due to beta stage, so this is good, so we have to wait for fully working build or at least stable enough to run system without FCs or slowdowna
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
Yep definately.

I guess it takes extra clean installs with prenightly roms.

Maybe, because you got this far you can get comfortable with logfiles and troubleshooting. Try to get to the root cause of the issue. You might be able to contribute there.At this point if I knew how, I'd help you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
Is that true? I don't think so. I think it's how it's allocated and counted. Like when you go buy a 1TB drive, you only have access to 931GB. It's how it's formatted and allocated.

Probably the same with Android with memory allocation or something like that. It's false advertising to say "It has 1024MB of RAM" when they actually only include 800. 800 is accessible, but there's probably 1GB in there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokubai:
There almost certainly is 1GB of RAM in there, but the graphics processor needs some of it to do it's job, say probably 128MB. Then just like the PC there are other other parts of the device that need to have blocks of memory to do their jobs, and the kernel and other core OS will probably snarf some memory to do what they need to do.

Voila, 1GB of RAM immediately reduced to 500-800MB of actual "usable" RAM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoVeRice:
Yup, the 1gb is a lie.. galaxy note has the same amount of ram of desire hd
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evaworld:
No dear, desireHD has 786 MB BUT ONLY about 600 MB usable, the same story as note and every android device
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Based on every nand device out there, ssd, emmc, all of them allocate sectors to general use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr3ker:
Can part of internal sd or ext sd become an extended ram or something?

Would that make the device any faster?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangal:
Yes it can.

No that won't make it any faster. In fact, it will make it slower.

The way Android works is, it says "the kernel says I need X amount for gpu, X amount for sound, X amount for the OS".

And then it allocates a certain threashold and says "okay this much I'm keeping free".

Then it says "these functions of the OS aren't used often, I'll leave them out".

Then it says "okay so I've got extra ram room, I'm going to fill them up with Apps".

Why does it work this way?

It based on Linux, RAM is shared dynamically.

What does this mean?

A bloated kernel and OS will use more RAM for itself.

Why does it leave free ram?

In case it needs to execute a function that's not used often or is memory intensive (eg Browser).

Why does it store Apps?

So that its readily available. They just pop open. Or resume from last state.

...okay, so what does this mean about my Free RAM "issues" with Jelly Bean?

It means that you are uneducated. It means Jelly Bean, or the specific setup you have either is more bloated than your previous setup OR it has a low "free ram allocation" setting. Solution? There is no problem, though you can trim down the ram allocation and kill off some memory things (apps, hidden background tasks) you can increase the amount of Free RAM, but its more likely to slow down the system. Remember, Jelly Bean builds are still Alpha/Beta stage, so they can/do have memory leaks.

Another point I should mention:

OS RAM use increased a lot from 1.6 -> 2.1

OS RAM use increased from 2.1 -> 2.2

OS RAM use increased a lot from 2.2 -> 2.3

OS RAM use increased a lot from 2.3 -> 4.0

< I haven't checked JB, but I'm willing to bet its increased from ICS, even if slightly >

This is Android, not Windows. Its behaves differently and has different symptoms. A quick Google search could've answered your questions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr3ker:
Thanks for the lecture here :thumbup: I see now, I never get to know linux base very well. Just starting to get myself familiar with it.

I've used a few types of JB rom before and I discovered that its using double the ram from ICS making my phone lags and does funny things ut shouldn't. Ahaks :p

Than I noticed that JB was released to phones such as S3 and such, phones that has double the ram size to compare with note. Its when I started to wonder...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Now my mates XS is saying can't mount system when trying to restore in CWM!

Bloody fone. What do we do now?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] YousifNael:
U must be on cm9/cm10 , their cwm is broken

Flash any kernel in cwm after mounting usb to ur computer , kaSSpeed should work , then reboot and restore:cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
We got it working again with ics13 kernel but it still won't backup and restore properly. Every time we try either the system or data won't mount! And it fails.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] YousifNael:
Try going to mount and storage and choosing mount system if its not mounted ..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
We do. But then when backing up and restoring it just errors with unable to mount again
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gorestav:
I am having the same problem. I want to restore an old backup from FXP 133 (I am on 134). I know it says that they are working on the problem but there have to be some way to restore your old data... Been trying different methods for 2 days.

Anyone that has had the same problem and solved it, if so please post the steps you took to accomplish this?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] YousifNael:
Well thats not happening to me
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
See i don't have the problem on mine. Just my mates one! Very odd!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gorestav:
Yeah the last time I tried (after installing fxp 133 again using nozomi-recovery.img) I first went into Mounts and Storage in CWM and mounted /system to be sure it was working and it did! But then during restore you get the error that /system can't be mounted and I have to redo the whole installation process again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sachilleas:
The device is 1+ month old. There are two particles of dust under the camera lens. This doesn't seem to affect the taken photographs despite the fact that they are in the centre of the lens. Should i send it to service, try to clean it or just ignore it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:
Under the actual lens or under the back cover?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sachilleas:
Under the lens! It's unreachable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
It's not unreachable, you just need to take out a few screws use a few plectrums and take the phone out of the case, as the GN only has one side, then blow the dust out. Put it back together and you're done.

I have one spec under mine, it won't affect picture quality in the slightest, I wouldn't worry about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sachilleas:
Thank you for your post. My main concern is if this is something generally observed in galaxy nexus phones and if this dust impacts somehow the taken pictures. I would not bother trying to practice surgery to my device in any way!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
Honestly, I've seen pictures taken with Canon L lenses after they have been dropped front element into the ground and fractured and even then they take images like it's a foggy day and that's with a huge piece of glass smashed. It's far, far too close to the sensor for it to pick it up, and the 'lense' is a fixed aperture of f/2.8 I believe which is even less likely to pick up dirt particles.

It's annoying I know, but it won't harm your images. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] sksbir:
Hello

This is my first real bug with whatsapp : I'm using a LG P970, with zeus rom V6.39n . Until this morning, whatsapp was running like a charm.

This morning, I decided to install some new animated wallpaper with Clockworkmod tool. (without success, follow link for more details )

after rebooting, whatsapp was not able to communicate. Everything happens like there was no internet connection. Of course, internet ( over wifi ) was working well ( tested with a new keyword in google search to ensure not using cached page).

I tried to reboot: problem remains.

I tried to wipe cache and reboot : problem remains.

I disabled the integrated firewall of Avast Mobile security : problem remains.

I started a VPN session to be sure that whatsapp was not newly filtered on my wifi connection : problem remains.

I decided to make a backup of whatsapp discussions, uninstall, and reinstall whatsapp from it's own APK backup file created with ESfileexplorer ( just to say : reinstalling exactly the same version : WhatsApp_2.8.1504.apk ).

After reinstalling apk, I had to give again my phone number, and agreed to restore my discussions. After that, all the messages that were waiting in both directions ( from me to contacts, and from contacts to me ) arrived and whatsapp now works again.

I don't know what's happen this morning :

- did I loose my whatsapp license ?

- is this related with my try of installing this wallpapers ?

- is this related with zeus rom ?
[LG Optimus Black] PabloFiasko:
I have been seeing exactly the same quite a while ago. Don't know it which Zeus I was running at that time. I also wiped cache (nothing changed) uninstalled and reinstalled (not from titanium backup but from play store) and since then everything is good again... Never happened again...
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
Don't worry your whatsapp license is fine, for the rest, really hard to tell why did it happen
[LG Optimus Black] sksbir:
Hello

Same player, shoot again !

This morning, impossible to send anything with whatsapp. kill app --> no ok ( tested 3 time with long pauses between ) , reboot phone --> no ok , internet connection test --> fine ( ensuring not using cached page )

backuping dialogs , uninstall , reinstall whatsapp from saved apk , reassign my tel number, restoring dialogs --> messages which where waiting to go since the beginning immediately sent.

Nothing changed on firmware since last time , just tweaking phone with zeus tweaks ( -3 on voltage , 4 on wifi DB )
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCaveman:
Hello,

I've searched all XDA and Google, but couldn't find a reasonable explanation of my situation.

I use my Desire as a replacement for my Sensation, as it is in repair now.

I rooted and flashed my Desire. Everything worked.

I decided to try the LeeDroid ROM. All OK, but just after the reboot, the phone fell on the ground and the battery flew aroud $#@%# :eek:

After that I have the following situation:

- Removing the battery and connecting the phone to a power source, flashes the LED Amber and Green.

- Introducing the battery again, the LED turns Amber for "charging"

- When I push the Volume Down+Power Button, the LED turns off and everything is black. No LED, no vibration or whatsoever

It's impossible to enter Recovery or HBOOT in general.

I read there was a trick to power on the phone with a "USB Trick", but couldn't find how to. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1502777

Is it Bricked, so impossible to revive? Obviously no warranty anymore :(

Thanks for your input.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cirapfc:
Wrong place for this question... but let me help you, it could be because of the fall, i mean most probably... i'm sure about that...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peryndark:
I say that the display connector might have disconnected itself when the phone hit the ground. You should try to tear your phone down and see if the connector actually fell out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCaveman:
OK, I will try to open the phone, but I think that doesn't explain why the power button shuts the LED off when pushed.

I have to look for the very small screw drivers :p

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
It's normal behavior.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCaveman:
Not the charging one while charging...

After that the power button doesn't do anything. The phone doesn't even vibrate...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
It all seems that phone works but your screen doesn't. Some connectors are disconnected or broken or your phone's screen is broken.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCaveman:
Thanks again... :good:

I will try to take my phone apart, but I don't have the small "star-shaped" screwdriver.

I will find an alternative...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
Don't try alternative, you'll ruin the screws. You can easily order it on e-bay and it's pretty cheap. I'm also sure you can find it in any hardware store, it's called TORX screwdriver.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCaveman:
Ok thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCaveman:
I don't know what helped, but after repeatedly trying to switch on/off and connect/disconnect to USB power the phone booted again.

:laugh:

I managed to enter RECOVERY and flashed the Oxygen ROM and seems to work all fine and quick :good:

Thanks for you support :good::good::good:

Hi all,

I have my HD2 connected to my office PC through the USB cable, and my office PC is connected to the Internet.

I would like to share this connection with my IPad, that can connect to my HD2 using WiFi: is this scenario at all possible?

I am running an old Energy ROM.

Ciao,

[HD2 General] GioVAX:
Thanks for your swift answer, but I believe it doesn't apply to my questions.

I know how to share Internet connection through WiFi (and I believe this is what your answer refers to), as per the following schema:

Internet <--> 3G <--> HD2 <--> WiFi <--> computer/IPad

I also know how to do the following

Internet <--> 3G <--> HD2 <--> USB <--> computer

But what I want to achieve is the following:

Internet <--> computer <--> USB <--> HD2 <--> WiFi <--> IPad

Before inducing any other confusion, my IPad does not have a 3G/4G connection, and my HD2 ROM is based on WM 6.5.x

I hope I was able to be clearer this time: english is not my native language :o
[HD2 General] spleetwarts:
There are some sense Rom which can achieve that..check my signature
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Been on & still using WM6.5.3 & Energy ROMs for a good 2yrs.

That is exactly what I was looking for!
