same here

Hi a month ago i bought a hero, and i noticed the same problem as you people do. Yesterday i went back to the store and they gave me a new hero.... The exact same problem appears with this new hero.

I'm also on a network that only supports EDGE / GPRS

And when i turn mobile data connection off, the problem disappears.

I've contacted HTC themselves , first they said that i should do a hard reset (which didn't help at all) And the second time they told me to contact the repair center to schedule repair of the device (that's when i went back to the store)

So I think this problem isn't just limited to some devices, but it is a widespread issue that only people who get EDGE / GPRS have

What do you guys think, should i let HTC "fix" my new hero, whit the possibility they do nothing because they cant find the issue and send me a bill ?

motherboard

Let me share my recent experience - i sent my Hero to a HTC repair center,

It came back last week.

They did replace the motherboard, so the device has a new IMEI and everything

But...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvO4UE6BxH8

Nothing changed, so i think either a really big number of devices is affected with this problem, but this goes unnoticed because everybody is using 3G/wifi not edge/gprs, OR the problem is not in the motherboard but in the trackball sensor.

I did sent it back to repair centre yesterday again, will post info when it returns.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jokesp:
i see

Well i sent yet another email to htc about the problem

can't wait to see what they say...

I might just have to go and try to get my money back from the store i bought it at.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] chuckalicious:
Thought I'd add to this.

Bought a white unlocked Hero (UK) less than 2 months ago.

Couple of weeks into owning it I noticed the odd scroll right. Thought I was imagining it. Week later got annoyed so emailed HTC. Did as they suggested and did a hard reset. By the time the issue came back, the device was more than 30 days old so couldn't return it to Amazon.

Contacted HTC again and this time it was sent in for repair. Replaced a board (not mobo as IMEI stayed the same).

This was 2 weeks ago. This morning, it has started randomly (it doesn't do this every time), scrolling down.

I have emailed HTC, stating previous ticket numbers, asking what they are going to do about this. It's clearly a hardware design fault, so any repair will likely last a short period of time before it fails again. I have suggested they respond to me with something other than "send it in for repair".

This is clearly a known issue as none of their new kit has a scrollball, they all have touchpad things now.

I'll let you know what they say, if they do indeed actually reply.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
I believe you and all but it's not affecting all the Heros.

I never had that problem with mine and I'm pretty sure this thread would have more posts if it was a problem with all the Heros.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] monocay:
hm

My hero is after second repair

First time they exchanged the motherboard,

Second time the trackball. Problem persists.

I also think that a large nuber of heros is afected, but this goes unnoticed because most of the people use 3g data only.

Seems like the problem manifests itself only when on edge or basic gprs.

Try to use your phone in 2g only, your phone might be affected too.

As for me, i do not have an option to use 3g, as my carier has edge only.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem (not the trackball itself, but some controlling hardware chip or something) and they just haven't fixed it right. I've bought my phone in January, never had this problem. I just set my phone to only use 2g / Edge and just let it sit there for 2 minutes... no spontaneous scrolling.

I also tried several mixtures (3g, wifi etc.) and no issue here.

I can shoot a video to prove it;) It's definitely not an issue on ALL the phones. This is a random guess, but could it be the Sim card, or the provider? Especially since in most cases it seems to be linked with network connection etc. it's really far fetched but it could explain, why most people just keep on getting the issue even after repair. Either that or it's a hardware problem that htc just doesn't know how to fix.

I once saw an htc hero that had a broken mapping for the trackball button (it did the same as pressing "call"... rendering the trackball press unusable) and it was not a software issue, since we tried to reset it and reflash it and all. So htc did and maybe does have some problems with their hardware, but it's not all the phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chuckalicious:
I agree, it won't be affecting all Heros, and for those it does, it doesn't affect them all the time.

However, there is clearly a common and persisitent fault, which to me suggests a specific problem with the design of the hardware or software.

Bit like the Toyota issue. Not all of the cars displayed the fault, but it may still have been there. Thus the recall.

I should point out that my problem is intermittent, but I cannot see any pattern as to what is causing it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gibbsrob:
Scrolling on MT4G

My neice and I have MT4Gs and she is running eViL's 4G-Z ROM and is having the same scrolling issue described by you all. She is addicted to the Sense ui and won't let me get near the phone because last time we reflashed the ROM her contacts weren't backed up and I didn't do a nandroid, so she lost about 20 numbers. LOL I'm changing ROMs every other day, Cyanogen 7 RC2, as of current so I haven't experienced the scrolling issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nellisere:
my hero does this, no screen protector, no people app, but i have noticed, it only happens on EDGE, never 3G, havent seen it do it on GPRS though :S

htc hero touchscreen problems

hey guys i have got the same issue on my hero

there are unusual movements on the screen and my screen has stopped responding

first i had the issue only in the bottom part af the screen but now i cant even open an app there are a lot of letters typed if i press a single character

i have read that i need to det a digitizer for my phone but before i go for that i just wanted to confirm that is that the problem

would ibe able to resolve it if i go back to a stock rom from a custom rom coz i think that the custom rom has made my phone more unstable

thanks

my screen is worst, it became the first "point screen"

Hi all, i've been reading up on Hero's screen issue, i think mine is worst, or was it superb..(pun intended).:mad:

I face the same issues u guys had, unresponsive screen, jumping, random text, auto scrolling... normally it goes away when i just sleep it and unlock again. However, i discovered something even my fren whose been dealing in mobile phone business for years had never encounter...

I

HOVER

my finger above the screen during an sms when it shows random letters... and i could actually control the movement...zzz thats like omfg!:eek:

I tried removing the apps i downloaded before, now my phone is clean, stock programs... and not even rooted before! It all happens after my phone received an OTA update. Now i feel like stoning the phone, literally (cos im outta warranty).

Anyone faced the same above? any solution? if necessary i could post a video, let me get my hands on a cam first...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] netham45:
Hi, I'm trying to run n0p's Dosbox ports on my Samsung Blackjack II(WinMo 6.1) but the screen display is corrupted.

I can hear the audio playing perfectly, and I can interact with the game, also, the display IS changing, seemingly to the game, but it's horridly corrupted.

Anyone know a fix to this?

I've tried googling, but I honestly don't know what to google for for this, I'm new to the smartphone scene.

pDosBox does run, but it's too slow for all the games I want to run, and it lacks sound support.

edit: I managed to get past the graphical corruption by disabling direct GAPI access in the program config, but now it's stuck in the middle 1/3 of the screen, only partially drawing the view it should draw. Any suggestions?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkphoenix2012:
I have tried for days to make this work and now I have no choice but to ask for help. For drizzy it works but it will not for me. I have tried a freshly formated and partitioned sd card, wiping before installing. Youtube will NOT play in HQ for me automatically like he said it was for him. I'm using the same JACxHero1.2 build he is using. I made sure my SPL and Radio were the correct version. I have absolutely no idea why it will not work for me. I don't even get the option for it after pressing menu. I know for a fact the videos I've tested have the HQ option. My connection is a strong 3G so it should be working. If anyone has any ideas how I can make this work please let me know.

This applies to most people using custom ROMs. I've started from Haykuro's 5.0.1H and gone through every H build he has published and now every Hero build Jac has published and each one has had the issue.

I have many apps working only with NET CF 3.5 installed.

everything was working fine.

today I hard reseted my device to replace the hebrew support (it used to be P.D.A.C hebrew and now it's EYRON)

now nothing works.

tried to install NET frameworks from PC and from .cab - nothing works.

when I open up the "details" list on the ERROR msg. it says a lot about it being a wrong platform and something about globalization.

do you know of a direct connection between frameworks and lang. support ?

any fix ?

or am I wrong ?

[Touch Cruise 2 General] ccoutts:
Hi,

I've got a Touch Cruise 09, having upgraded from the original Touch Cruise. With that old phone, I had it configured (somehow) to use a Wifi connection as default, but if there was no current wifi connection it would initiate a data connection to my cell provider. That way, when at home or work I could manually connect to a wifi AP then browse the net, download email, etc over that connection, but when I was out and about it would start a data connection.

But with this new Touch Cruise, I can't get it to use wifi for syncing email. Even if I have a wifi connection, it initiates a gprs data connection. (This works, but it costs me). It does however behave like the old phone for browsing the net using Opera.

So basically, how do you assign what connections different programs use? The whole My Work and Internet concepts have always confused me on WM/WinCE devices, but I suspect its something to do with that.

BTW, I'm using MS Windows Live to do the email syncing... I've got a hotmail email address. But I can't find anywhere in the Win Live setup to specify the connection.

Anyway, thanks for any help! :-)
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Vampie:
Hey,

Is it that you do not want to use your data connection at all? Because if that is the case you can use a program called "NoData". On my phone I just use my WiFi connection and no GPRS or any other kind of data connection (I am a cheap ass user).

Grtz
[Touch Cruise 2 General] ccoutts:
Nope, I want to use wifi for when I'm at home, and cell phone data fro when I'm out and about.

At the moment it ALWAYS initiates a cell data connection, even if I'm at home and have a working wifi connection open.

My old phone used the wifi if it was there, or would then start a data connection. The new one doesn't.

when i was untheming the jacmytouchskiv2.0 i noticed when i flashed the regular (themed version) that it had a black normal keyboard that typed in chinese. if you can find a rom with the english version of the cupcake vk you should be able to replace the chinese vk with the english one (well i assume you are looking for english but substitute english with whatever language if you are not lol) and it should work. i do not know where it would be located though. try pm-ing ccyrowski or cyanogen they should be able to tell you the location of it in a rom.

I don't know why you would call the htc one better... I quite hate it. The buttons are harder to press and it vibrates WAY too long. The default keyboard is much nicer -- clean and gives just a nice 'tick' of the vibrator on key press.

To install the default keyboard, copy its ".apk" file ("LatinIME.apk") into /system/app.

the access list is a bit scary, not downloading.
[G1 Apps and Games] kusotare:
how is that scary?

network communication is basic, most apps use that.

gps location is a facebook plugin.

not sure why it would need to m/um file systems, but im sure the dev has a reason.

sms is basic, thats for messaging since the inbox isnt available with the facebook api.

dialing phone numbers is from direct-profile calling, basic.

personal info edit is a given (adding contacts from facebook).

so I fail to see whats so scary about that, unless you know nothing about what those things mean.

Hi Does anyone know what max gb TP2 can do and what is the max speed 2 4 or 6?

thanks

Vig
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] En_croute:
the TP2 uses SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity, SD 2.0) format.

This is licensed to ensure compatability

Therefore the max is 32gb
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ZUUL42:
I'm still looking for a definitive answer on what the read/write speed in on the card. Class 2, 4, or 6?

Now I'm sure it will support any speed, but what can it actually utilize?

Also, on size, theoretically once you are into SDHC territory 32GB should be the max. However HTC says the limit is 16, http://www.htc.com/us/faqs.aspx?p_id=276&cat=270&id=109966&f=t

I have also found out that at one point some cameras had a 16GB limit. I don't know what the reason for the limitation was for maxing out at 16GB, but it does/did happen on other devices.

So at this point I have seen no evidence to support that the phone can utilize faster than a Class 2 card and I have not come across anyone using a 32GB card. Doesn't mean the TP2 can't handle a bigger card and utilize a faster one, I just haven't heard proof yet.
