[HD2 General] usmcdvldg:
OK, some of this may sound kind of stupid, but it was my experiance so hopefully it will help some of you guys.

I think in my case, it is a problem with the hard buttons, let me explain.

When the issue first started for me, I would wake the phone up with the red call button and the touchscreen wouldn't work. Through experimentation I found out if I hit the button at just the right angleor used any other key, it would wake up 100% of the time.

I had a perfictlly working phone for a couple of weeks until now the other buttons stopped working 100% of the time. After some googleing I found the dumbest sounding solution ever. Stick your fingernail in between the case and the screen at the top of the phone. It worked for about a month. If I tried to wake the phone up and it wouldn't, Do that, and try again. Then out of the blue, This just stopped working.

After ever more experimentayion I found out that if I hold the green phone or home key REALLY hard until the screen wakes up, I get a 80-95 percent success rate. Meaning I rarely have to try more than twice.

I fear this may be the end of the line for my beloved HD2 as the problem just gets worse and worse, And I bought it on craigslist about a year ago so I don't think I'll be getting any warrenty work.
[HD2 General] eugenile:
I had this problem too,

it seems like if it is intermittently happening, it will get worse, or continue to be a problem.

I too noticed if you put pressure on certain areas of the hard bottons it would work.

A sticky should be posted once a DIY solution is made, I thinking it is something with the connection on the ribbon cable or with the hardbottons.

Add one more to the pile of dead touch screens. I'm in Toronto, Canada and the weather's been quite cold. I have the T-Mobile HD2, is there a way to try to get HTC to repair the phone (under warranty or not, but clearly the former is preferred) rather than t-mobile (purchased second hand ebay). According to the HTC site, it appears they only refer you to T-Mobile, what is the HTC number people are recommending to call?
[HD2 General] camillo777:
back yesterday from HTC after 3 weeks; it seems to work again.
[HD2 General] KrewsialNL:
Positive feedback

To the people commenting on the fact that they got their screens working again.

Do not get your hopes up. The digitizer in your phone is failing and if you managed to get it up and running again...it will fail sooner or later, as you already have the 'signs' right there.

I collected my device last night from the service point, only to find out it still has the same problem. (They only swapped the LCD :( ). So now i can wait for another week... This SE C905 is a nice little phone.. but I want my frkn HTC back!
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
Well my phone is at the repair centre in Milton Keynes right now with the dead touch screen problem. Logging into Tmobiles repair tracker shows it as "Accessory - Belt clip defect - touch screen not responding" and under Repair description, it says "screening". It's also showing as out of warranty one minute, and in warranty a little later. Probably due to being out of warranty with tmobile (12 months) but in warranty with HTC (2 years).

Guessed I flashed the rom/spl back to the right version too, as it also says "next step - software upgrade" - I had an original tmobile hd2, with spl 1.42 with the 1.42 rom... ;)
[HD2 General] MarlinFF:
Well.. I can finally say that HTC is probably one of, if not the best, phone companies out there. My touchscreen went out and I was freaking out because I had bought this on craigslist.. I tried looking online and a digitizer was around $40 but the repair was not easy.. For someone else to repair it it'd be about $150 (I paid $200 for the phone so I was not going to repair it for that price) however I called up HTC and told them my digitizer was dead... They said send it in and that it'd be covered because the HD2 is less than one year old! I sent it in on Wednesday and got it back on the following Wednesday.. That is GREAT considering it was sent back to me on Friday and Fedex is the one who lagged on the return!

[HD2 General] geronemo:
Happy to see that most of you got your phone working.

I have Tmobile USA HD2 and screen isn't working am locked at the lock screen.

I soft reseted it then, hard reseted it by pressing the vol up and down and turning it on and no luck still doesn't work, hardware keys are working.

Problem is that i had installed HSPL on it with Custom radio (radio i donot remember which one, i think it was the one that came with the last official ROM update). ROM is last official ROM..

I want to revert the HSPL and radio back to the original so i can claim warranty from tmobile, can someone please tell me how do i go back on stock HSPL and stock radio, i really do not want to try my luck and screw up as i cannot afford to by a new phone right now if i screw up and brick it.

This is what i have when i hold vol down and power up the phone:

PB81120 SS-B3

SPL- 2.08 HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x40

How do i check the radio aswell?

Please help me out.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Run HSPL3 and select 2.08.0000 - that is HSPL gone.

Download from T-Mobile (USA) a ROM (you need to use your IMEI number to get the download) - this will guarentee that you have an approved ROM for your phone. Run the ROM and flash the phone.
[HD2 General] geronemo:
Just one more thing, if someone can verify for me:

My phone was responding yesterday for a few min. so i checked the ROM and Radio version:

ROM: 3.14.531.1 (04666) WWE

ROM Date: 9/29/10

Radio: 2.15.50.14

Manila: 2.5.20181424.0

O.S. 5.2.21913

Now are the above radio and ROM stock, can someone please verify that,

if yes then all i need to do is installed the SPL, right.

thanks guys for the help :)
[HD2 General] geronemo:
i followed your earlier instruction and copied the LEOIMG to sd card and flashed it.

This is what it says now:

PB81120 ss-B3

SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE

MicroP (LED) 0x05

MicroP (TOUCH) 0x40

Can you please verify if my SPL is the correct version now,

Thanks
[HD2 General] phoang1988:
Is this common on the hd2? I just bought one.
[HD2 General] imurdanny:
this happened to my phone awhile back..good thing warranty covered it:D
[HD2 General] temiricine:
I have problems with the display. touchscreen is not working. it seems that it is caused by some condensation that makes a shortcircuit at the on/off button or at one of the buttons. (it happens often also with the buttons of the old tv remote controls). i was trying the solution to touch fast but soft the end button and the screen was unlocked (maybe the contact is cleared for an instance)

This was temporary solved the issue for me. but i will send my phone to service to clean it or replace the display.
[HD2 General] harrystone33:
Second Time this has happened

Ahh, HTC had me going for a while.. I had this problem a while back and sent it in under warranty from HTC and received it very quickly with it working perfect, this was around the time that NAND was just becoming a reality around new year so naturally as soon as I've gotten it back t was time for android and now 5 months later, I have come across the problem AGAIN.. sad thing is that I thought this new type of screen was supposed to solve the problem... now I need to reflash all the stock T-Mobile settings back.. has anybody here done it without their touchscreen working and can help me from where I'm at to return stock HSPL and which stock T-Mobile ROM to use as well as if radio version will matter when I send it off?
[HD2 General] AndyGizzle:
I've had this happen two times, on two separate HD2's.

The first one was repaired by HTC (on warranty). The second one I don't have any warranty on.

Today, the first one is getting really hot and the screen only switches on arbitrarily. Could this be the early signs of a defective screen ... again?
[HD2 General] Hyuukai:
I can buy a HD2 quite cheap but it has a blue circle on the screen due to it being sat on, screen and digitizer are faily expensive cheapest ive found is £50. How easy is it to just replace the entire screen and digitizer? its from o2 btw.
[HD2 General] harrystone33:
I think you've already had this question answered, but yes it is possible, and easy to some extent.
[HD2 General] prisonking101:
Temporary fix/test

I just fixed it temporarily, i fixed it by taking off the battery cover and pressing down on the htc logo (below lcd) and pressure on both the front and back of the phone where the htc logo is.

if you do this and it fixes it, you most likely have a dodgy lcd/digitiser flex ribbon cable.
[HD2 General] meingutter:
It's a strange problem.

I've never heared of people complaining about the digitizer in Europe..
[HD2 General] wilwilwel:
I'm experiencing this problem since a week or so. I was playing around with the ICS ROM of Tytyung when it started.

For now i noticed that the screen freezes occure when using the "end/hang up" key.

The problem occures when I push the button at the upperside of it just below the screen.

When I push the button at the lowerside near the bottum of the phone it all works fine.

So for me its good enough to powerdown the screen with the right button push at the bottum of the "end/hang up" button. And enabling it while pushing the bottum of the "end/hang up" button.

I still have a few months to go till i'll be able to get a new phone, hopefully this will last long enough.

For all European HD2 users. Due to the European law we all have 2 year waranty. Just install the stock ROM (it comes with the stock radio and stock SPL) make an appointment with HTC (google the nearest HTC Service Point near your city), send in the phone by email and wait for about 10 days. As long your phone is under waranty (not older then 2 years, installed stock WinMo 6.5.x ROM, Radio and SPL and you havent tried to open up the device) HTC will send back a fully repaired phone. The highest cost i've seen till now are about 30 euro's for someone who couldnt proof that the phone wasent opend up.

The reason why this problem occurs is that beneath/just above the "end/ hang up" key there is a screen connector which gets dammaged due to normal phone usage acros the years, or by pressing the buttons to often or to hard. In most cases HTC will replace the screen digitazer, lcd and sometimes the softbuttons.

Hi, I'm from Italy.

I have the same problem of all of you. My touchscreen does not work.

I bought my phone from another guy who had that with a business contract. So i haven't the receipt. Is still in warranty? Otherwise, of much I have to pay (more or less)?

Wiping will not revert your current rom back to the stock rom. You will need to unroot.

There are a sperm load of threads out there in regards to unrooting. Have a blast!:rolleyes:

Hi Guys

You know when you plug your phone to charger or to USB there is an orange light on the upper right corner of the screen.

Is there any way to modify this, so that new mail, new sms or any notification that we choose makes this light blink? (Like blackberry style or trackball LED style)

See the screen shot:confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] inffy:
Google has removed the APIs from Nexus One to control the trackball leds which is kind of dumbass thing to do :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
He's not asking about the trackball... he's asking about the one in the upper right of the screen....

But.. just curious... why don't you just want the trackball to blink? It's brighter and easier to see.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] henihazbay:
I find it easier to see that orange light.

Trackball's light seems to be very weak.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Breakthecycle2:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jerrycycle:
App was make for rooted devices, N1 led don't flash different colors, if it has been rooted when the charger or usb is plugged the led flashes the assign colors. Always flash is the app. ONLY WORKS FOR ROOTED PHONES.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eclair~:
This guy knows what he is talking about.

He just mis-worded it, well it could work either way actually. App developers cannot make the LED (top left one) blink at all - and they also cannot control the color of trackball flash unless rooted.

It seems though, if you are charging the phone - and use an app like Missed Call, or Hancent SMS, the color of the LED does change.. but only when charging..

It is like Google completely disabled the LED unless the phone is being charged, other than that it is entirely off with no way to be accessed. I'm sure someone will find a loophole around this eventually I guess ~.~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] joshyth1012:
the app is only good for text, if only the app will work for email, and call too.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] henihazbay:
Agreed. I need something for email also. That trackball changer works only for sms/mms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PiCkLeS:
In the Desire-ROM (HTC Sense) that has been leaked and now is available to Nexus 1-owners, the LED can be controlled just as the original post asked for. Works here, right now.

Just saying, no nothing is "stopped" when it comes to controlling the LED. It's just that no one has put any time into yet IMHO.

Sorry if i posted at the wrong section :(

Hi guys... i saw and view the specification and it seems that HD2 is a beauty...

thats why i need comment of HD2 pros and cons.

Because trading-in X1 to HD2 still required me to pay additional SGD600 (W/out trade-in is SGD740, And its brand new). its quite a huge sum for me...

So i am here seeking HD2 user's comment about this phone before i purchase it.

I appreciate any comment related to this topic.

Thanks:)

P.s. If possible, hope those HD2 user mind telling me why you would want to purchase this phone. Also your feeling/thought.

Thanks again.:)
[HD2 General] RJackson:
Oh the HD2 is brilliant.

Some would see Windows Mobile as a let down, I'd disagree. It's an easy platform to develop for, should you come across an application you can't find. The HD2's huge screen with huge resolution is brilliant for... well everything. It's hardware means you get top-performance from whatever you do. HTCs Sense UI is also just a god-send, the best mobile interface I've come across.

Anything that's 'just not right' about it will have no doubt been 'fixed' by somebody here on XDA. :)

640x480 is HD2 screen resolution? O.o surprised. X1 was 480x800... LOL. anyway, it doesn't matter.

Do you know the Fps for recording video?

Mind telling me the maximum screen ratio aspect. is there 16:9? or just 4:3?
