Cheers Flunk
[HD2 General] esatch:
maybe HSDPA? :)
[HD2 General] ardsar:
Correct - upto 7MB download possible (if your very lucky lol)
[HD2 General] flunkyou2:
so better then the G that i some times get ? :)
[HD2 General] chuelibrueder:
Yes better in the sense that it's faster.

Just remember that depending on your mobile phone contract you will pai for every KB you download.

[HD2 General] flunkyou2:
nice one :) i have another question whats the best way to get this phone to last longer (on the battery) ?
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Does anybody read other posts lol
[HD2 General] mskip:
Haha I dont think so :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] flunkyou2:
i would use the search but its the worst i have seen in years on this site!
[HD2 General] fards:
amazing.. most of the planet thinks that google is the best search engine..

maybe it's how you are searching? let me guess you keep finding the same questions and no answers to the post you just started? guess why??

because people keep asking the same thing over and over again without reading!

I've just typed LEO BATTERY LIFE into the search at the top and read the threads that have popped up (I managed to scroll past the first two) and read the relevant ones..
[HD2 General] meptik:
Your initial question is not something I would search XDA-developers for anyway. Why not try a more obvious place like, say, the user manual?

Here, let me Google that for ya.

Page 39, Status Icons. ;)
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
and the name of thread is great too :D 'H?' i would be better only with '?'
[HD2 General] matt07930:
Best way to make the battery last, turn off the 3G/HSDPA signal :)
[HD2 General] flunkyou2:
thank you mat a real response... :)

its like having a bunch of 95 yr olds on here (use shearch... read before you post... NO BALL GAMES!)
[HD2 General] Archer:
The "95 yr olds", as you put it, want the forums to be kept as clean as possible, without unnecessary posts that are simply asking things that have already been answered.

It's so that people who do search only find 1 or 2 threads with answers in them, not 100 threads all asking the same thing. It's for the better of everyone that uses the forum, including you :)
[HD2 General] flunkyou2:
i must say the search is bad as i can never find wat i want!
[HD2 General] kolomnik:
Hi guys,

This evening something wring happened with my HD2. Suddenly without any visible reasons touch screen stopped working. Actualy screen itself is working but it doesn't react on any touches. I did hard reset - no luck, screen is working but touch surface isn't, so basically my phone is almost dead :-(

Have you seen this behaviour ? Is there any possible way to fix it ? The only thing that comes in my mind which could cause something like this is static electricity shock, but if it kills HD2 screen I want my money back.

I guess now I should use warranty and this is just after 1 month of usage....
[HD2 General] chuelibrueder:
Just a stupd question

Don't be offended by my question, I just want to rule out the obvious.

You're not wearing gloves due to the cold outside?

Greetings

chuelibrueder
[HD2 General] kolomnik:
No, I'm not using gloves with HD2 :-(
[HD2 General] panart:
I have the same problem. I believe that the connectors under the screen became loose.

I have send an email to htc and they told me to contact the retailer to check if they can replace the device and if not to contact the service center in Cyprus.

There is another thread about this issue here
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
i`m sure that warranty will solve it.. just contact your retailer.. good luck :)
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Hmmm,

Yet another one having to go back due to hardware problems....

[HD2 General] rpgman:
I loose the touch screen today and the hardware button exept Home i think, i had to remove the battery and i waited 30s put it back and everything went in place, the phone had called one contact when i had the bug.

The only thing that happened before screen doesn't work and buttons : i received an MMS :p strange, i'm not sure i can rely on my phone :p

I only installed the 1.48 rom and the 3 patches (audio, sms and sd card)
[HD2 General] panart:
I contacted the service center in Cyprus and they offered to repair it but they don't have spare parts right now. I've also send an email to the retailer and wait for their answer.

Seems i have to wait after Christmas for a repair or exchange.

The good thing is that by pressing the screen with my palm or giving it a few solid taps it works for some time.
[HD2 General] h2036:
bBeware keyboard layout!

I had suffer bye used hadwritting layout sometime it cause screen doesn't responds

try change keyboard layout not hadwritting
[HD2 General] Ell_H:
Just had the same thing happen with mine, powers up but the screen wont respond anywhere i press. I have tried hard reset AND soft reset, nothing!

Have just restored factory ROM, and deleted hspdl and dropped off at vodaphone in town. Im gutted!! :(
[HD2 General] TML1504:
really seems to be a production problem: i had to send my hd2 back to htc for screen replacement just 4 weeks ago... same fault as yours: the touchscreen wasn't responding to input anymore!

the last weeks i noticed that many people had this problem too... :(
[HD2 General] termignoni:
wow.. keeping a close eye on this.. guess the same problem from the HD is creeping up to the HD2..
[HD2 General] Ell_H:
Well im hoping vodaphone dont turn around and say its not covered under warranty etc, I had to [like most ppl] sign up for two years to get this phone, i aint gonna be to happy if i have to spend the next 21 months of my contract without the handset i wanted! :(
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Yikes :eek:, yesterday my screen didn't respond either (for the first time). Soft reset didn't work. After taking the battery out and leave it out for > minute it still didn't respond. I pressed the screen a little and then it worked again. Not sure if it was because of pressing the screen, but it did look that way. I hope this will be the last time this happens!:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] VlaJko79:
tnx!

YESSS!!! thanx mate this worked like a charm!!
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Well, it's been a few weeks now and I've had this problem several times again and worse, even after a hard reset; and almost each time I could fix it by pressing the screen/hardware buttons, but that shouldn't be the way, because I don't think it's good for the hardware, so I searched the forum and I think I found the two culprits (maybe a combination of the two):

1. The problem occured exactly the same day I began using my 16 GB card, class 2. It once happened that when I had the locked screen problem I took out the card and it immediately unlocked. But every now and then the phone still froze, even when I took out the SD card if the problem occured.

2. Then I have put off the automatic light adjustment settings and guess what; no more freezes!

It looks like a combination of power settings and use of SD card. I'm not very technical, but even when it looked like it was a hardware fault at first, it now seems it's a software fault after all.
[HD2 General] zephr5:
Touchscreen doesnt work

Well F4CK my screen will not respond to touch at all anymore seems that this is a problem that is not well addressed tmobile is sending out a new one but the question is when will the touchscreen stop working on that "new" one.NOT happy at all.
[HD2 General] CPA:
Well this has now happened to me....no touch response but hardware buttons working, screen still displays-- off to JB HIFI as soon as I can to replace.
[HD2 General] nikoskavliaris:
OOOKK I had this problem when i just flashed my phone with a costum rom. As far i remember my phone fall down once or twice but not something bad. I have the silicone cover and screen protector. If it was a hardware problem i believe that it shouldn't work at all even if you had to use the hardbuttons. Which that was how i would have to use to unlock the screen. I will go back to the factory rom and settings to see if there is any difference. My current rom is AthineOS 3.14 and Radio 2.15.50.14.

If for any reason you want to access your cellphone and you don't have time go through troubleshooting. I Suggest you download mymobiler which connects the phone and you can use it through your pc. Make sure you take the sd card before you connect. Here is the website www.mymobiler.com
[HD2 General] dcaceres:
In my case, my phone was RIP. The touch screen stopped working after installing a custom ROM. I installed the latest official ROM from T-Mobile and my phone and came back to life
[HD2 General] Fmstrat:
I'm having the same issue. Surprisingly, mine started after also putting in a class 2 16GB card. However, I'm 99% sure it's hardware. Wiggling the "end" button would simulate a tap on the top left of the screen. After pressing the "end" button, the screen stopped responding.
[HD2 General] aussiebum:
Damn, I just started having the issue today while in Android! Somehow I managed to recover from the problem after rebooting twice, turning the screen on/off using the power button in WM, wiggling the hardware keys, gently tapping the screen and then finally giving my phone a quick (gentle) shake up/down... that seemed to fix the problem.

I think I'm going to be more gentle when putting the phone down on my desk / touching the screen from now on -_-
[HD2 General] Fmstrat:
If you're still under warranty, get it fixed. It will most likely get worse as it seems to be a bad connection around the 'end' key. This is one of those things time will most likely not make better :(

Thanks,

B.
[HD2 General] ultraprimeomega:
I started to noticed that the end key is the problem, after i had dropped mine each time i would press end key, the screen would not respond after a while but if i would turn on the device with a different key it would be fine, might be loose connection.

I dont have warranty anymore but i will post my findings after i open it and split the touchscreen from lcd, i dont have anything to loose now.

UPDATE: I went ahead and orderer the button flex or whatever the name is, but i am hoping its just that, but i have a feeling that the main board might be the problem if this does not work, like i said touchscreen works but once you press end it make the touch not responsive.
[HD2 General] AxR979:
hi

any updates ?
[HD2 General] IvoBoss:
my touch screen doesn't work too :P
[HD2 General] ultraprimeomega:
Here is the update

on my problem with pressing power and touch goes out, the main problem was the touch not the power button.

i was thought it was, even if i knew the touchscreen was the bad one

so if you have a bad touchscreen from pressing the power button then replace the touchscreen not the button flex

i might buy mine from ebay but i dont like it being shipped from hong kong(exchanges are so hard to do and maybe fake)

there is a US base site that sales them for $43.50

not Advertising just great site to buy parts for htc phones not all are there but beats getting it from china on ebay

Search for Flexqueen on google
[HD2 General] Rossimac:
I'm having the exact same problem as you with the end key. It works some times, but it'll just make the screen not respond if I use it. Other keys will wake the device and the screen will be responsive maybe 4 out of every 5 times.

Did you have any joy with the cable?
[HD2 General] ultraprimeomega:
its the touchscreen but im waiting for my order to come in its back ordered

im guessing its a crack or touchscreen is starting to split because it does have two glass sheets(top outside and inside)

I really want to figure this out does anyone have ideas or a oven http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13951806#post13951806
[HD2 General] cavalera98:
I'm also having this problem with the power button and frozen touch screen. The touch screen also responses after taping the top right corner of the button and continues to work ok if I press gently the power button, but if i press the power button like normal, the touch goes off.

Did you manage to get the oven or replace the touchscreen, if so, what were the results?
[HD2 General] ultraprimeomega:
The oven, not yet im looking now for a used small cookie oven, but haven't had time to look around but i will post once i get it and test it out.

But if you just replace the touchscreen it should work, i canceled my order, for later time.
[HD2 General] cavalera98:
just be careful with the oven... I've already fried an iphone 3g motherboard trying to fix the wifi chip
[HD2 General] AxR979:
i have the same problem ..

touch wont work until i press power or back button .. and it didnt work all the time

i saw in YouTube someone have the same problem and he tried to change the digitizer but it didnt solve it ..

he said the problem from the buttons connector or something like that ..

mine stop working after i touch it with wet hands ..
[HD2 General] AxR979:
its back to normal after i left charging for a whole day .. weird !!
[HD2 General] enjoy87:
Iam the next with the problem, I see that problem comes from end/lock button, now work, but in next few dates my hd2 will be dead, i have 24m waranty so i will send when he is dead :)
[HD2 General] chapyy:
I have the same problem, but my screen moves very slow and stop, after I repeatedly press the End key no problem. I do not know why?:o
[HD2 General] Martasdx:
same problem here:

suddenly my phone cant recognize any touch, but if I press power or back button with big power, it is OK.

Looking for waranty card and let it repaired... weird
[HD2 General] dejson:
In this moment I have 2 of them at home, warranty expored long ago and in my country there is no any repair center if HTC.

So I am wondering is there any chance to order just a felx cable for them and o replace that cable. I guess not but I had to ask

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Main-Flex...arts_Tools&hash=item27bbd959e3#ht_1965wt_1396

Is this the part I need, ofc I need euro version and will try to find that cable.
[HD2 General] SnakeBites:
same problem same problem :(:(:( thinking to move on with freakin iPhone4 but my heart says to get HTC Desire HD :(:( i like huge screens

anyone could fix this issue :(?
[HD2 General] ruthusk8r:
"Screen off and lock" by Katecca in the android market will work great. My end key doesn't work. It will turn the screen off and lock, but will not wake up. All other hardware works great. With this app/widget you will never need to press the red/power key ever again. I do however hit it on accident every once on a while, however this has saved me from tossing this phone in the trash. Lol try it and see if it helps ....
[HD2 General] Raizm:
Well,mine isn't working either.

I can't use my warranty (if any of it is still left).

But after reading Martasdx's post with the end and back button it worked again.

Unfortunately it's only working if I keep pressing the back or end button while touching...

So actually I'm not really sure what I should do now. Is this a touchscreen problem now or a keypad problem? which would should I replace?

Since I can't use my warranty I could open my device and try something with the connectors mentioned earlier....

Any suggestions?
[HD2 General] Martasdx:
I think, there is some connector under back/power off button. If you can, open your device and see. I am just going for waranty repair. I will let you know.
[HD2 General] ultraprimeomega:
Sorry for no response after a while but

Heating the touchscreen did not work, I am guessing its like the plastic digitizers that other phones have they have some other thing between the two layers, and one broken its broken.

second i sold my hd2 as parts got another one with again touchscreen problems so i ordered the part fixed it but Warning all and i mean all hd2's that get repaired for lcd or touchscreen will never be perfect. You have to apply new double sided tape on the edge of the touchscreen dont cove the sensors and also have the bottom of the lcd taped too and maybe it wont stick out. Be careful with the button flex try not to touch it the little metal bubbles fall off and its not easy to get them to stick back with new tape.

I will take some pics later to show the main points of warning and what can go wrong if you dont take your time and reseat everything right.

PS: apparently there is aftermarket t-mobile touchscreens(i think) the logo looks good but edge of the glass on the top where the speaker is does not look shinny and all the original phones that were new where all shinny. might be something else but everything works.

REQUEST Can someone with a good original shipped touchscreen test how many touch points it has, or if you know tell me? The touchscreen i have has two points and it does not have the grid of squares my old one had.
[HD2 General] CPA:
after having my HD2 fixed last year it did it again. Despite being out of warranty l hasstled Telstra as I was on a 2 year contract and the authorities in Australia have told them it is illegal to only give a 1 year warranty on hardware when signing up to a 2 year deal. With some pushing Telstra have given me a new phone and l now love my HTcEv0 3d. Was also a but sick of the lack of apps for Win mobiles.
[HD2 General] Owl.Kr:
some FPC connector under back/power-off button was broken.

The same issue was occurs in South Korea.

People who have experienced the same symptoms in Korea for at least 20 people goes beyond.

[HD2 General] Lbalddy:
I've just experienced the same problem, but it started happening when I created a partition on my SD class 4. Is an /ext , something that it's not reccomended but was just trying.

I'm trying now with less /ext space, if I experience the same I will restore it to fat32 and I'll tell you :)
[HD2 General] HevvieEvvie:
Got mine working by shoving a knife down into the hard buttons. It defiantly seems to be a hardware fault but the digitizer coming loose and by pushing down the power button and touching the screen at the same time it becomes responsive.

Defiantly not ideal but I think I'll retire my good old faithful HD2 and install XBMC on it and use it as a media player. :laugh:

Solution

Hi guys,

yeah I got the same problem :( , so I read so many threads and it seems to be a hardware problem but in my opinion it is a software problem made by HTC itself to force the people to buy new stuff ! I heard that there was a printer which got a chip on it to count how many pages were printed out and after a number it causes a "problem". I quite sure thats the same with the touchscreen we´ve got here. So can some of the experienced developers make a program to get access to the chip which is combined to the touchscreen ? and search for a function which counts the using time of the screen than reset it to the start digit and maybe we could use is again. there is no physical reason for the problem so it have to be a *****-move by HTC.

thanks!
[HD2 General] Mister B:
afraid not, it is hardware related to tail connector area on the digitizer, some later EU models seem better probably due to improved or new supplier of the part or just luck that some of the later socket types were better than others.

Don't think the the button use plays such a major roll in failure as many say as my own device from new with little to almost no button use failed & my current one gets poked how I like & still going fine on original digitizer.

I have only 4 HD2's left on original digitizers & rest of our fleet are on replacements.

Indeed printers have cycle counters due to ink waste pads etc & notebook batteries have cycle counters :-S but HD2 touch failure is purely less than best hardware/design, probably due to being cutting edge at the time & bezel bonding area is minimal even compared to today's devices thus flex within the digitizer & LCD is quite large due to layer & bonded design.
[HD2 General] tankster2000:
..

yeah I understand what you want to tell me but actually nobody proved my solution ! I mean somebody should really check out what I was telling.

my HD2 is the better 60H00300 version, from one day to the other the error occured. the others got the same mysteriously a few days after the warrenty was over. the different times for occuring the issue, is only because the individual usage of the owner, my problem is I don´t want to buy a new phone only because this silly little chip is bad programed, and the replacement is not available anymore instead of this china crap. HTC didn´t sell this stuff cause they want us to buy their new phones. believe me nowadays there are engineers who only design this malfunctions, but you know what I want to say already, for example compare the old chip and the newer ones when the touchscreen is broken why are they didn´t replace the screen and only the digitizer ?

I can tell you they only alternate the count cycle and give the chip another design to let everybody know "look we did something" and exactly the same error occur after a longer period of time. If you got 4 of these phones you can take one broken touchscreen and replace only the chip by a new one, so you can prove my theory if you want to.

btw thanks for your fast reply, its not only to help me its for a better world without all this avoidable trash.

So we need a program for PC to get access over USB to this chip, read it and overwrite it with not used software only if this is done we can say whether I´m wrong or not.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I quite agree that longer life span of all goods would create a better world & many devices these days are built to a limit so you have to buy again before you really should & before any real leap forward in technology too.

In the case of the HD2 digitizer I am sure it not programmed into fail in terms of program keeping a count cycle.

Failure seems to be in the tail area of the digitizer & in more than one case I was able to get it temporarily working by bending ribbon slightly & in one instance by pressing quite hard on digitizer in lower right corner of device.

Indeed the later type assemblies fail just as well as the early solder type ... My current HD2 is in its 4th year of service & still all original parts as are 2 other hd2's in company use.

Personally I think it was poor design allowing a lot of flexing in the device, this issue then caused the weak digitizers to fail within varying time frames pending on usage & a few lucky devices manage to still go on.

Would certainly like to see a law that made it mandatory to have a minimum 2yr & 3yr warranty on electronics linked to the cost.
[HD2 General] tankster2000:

Hi friend,

sorry to say that but this "press hard the power button" is a stupid solution because response to a hightech problem with violence won´t fix anything at all. you said "many" devices, I say every device from are frigerator to a TV is made with these issues, its the capitalistic way of producing things. believe it or not it won´t change anything. its a mad world out there, like a german philosopher said in the 1800´s "the good guys a the dumb ones" by Immanuel Kant, look my phone is 5 years in usage, so you got one left I guess. It make sense to provocate the thouchscreen to broke because you always use it for everything,if you think in a psychological way, the consumer accept the problem cause he think he made the issue by using it ;), this touchscreen technology, we learnd in school, is made by electrons in the screen which react to the fingers by touching, there is no way to abrasion this electrons. the companys so need to add some of the thing is already said.

you will have the problem as well, sooner or later. so help me to find some guy who can look on this chip. nobody done this before its an opportunity we have to make the phone usable much longer than anyone this days!

I only try to convince you to help taking against it without checking my solution is not productive.
