repairs - only way to save my phone

guys...after 4 weeks of frustration..finally sent my hd2 for repairs...tried everything...changing the Flex board (ap board) etc etc.. the only final options now is that i need to change the digitizer...but unfortunately...HTC repairs have a single mold of LCD and Digitizer (LCM module)...hence it costs 100$...my T-Mobile HD2 doesnt have warranty in india...hence shelling out of pocket :(...

will post the feedback post repairs tomo...

Sent mine for repair

I had this issue. Sent out for repair on Monday, was received Tuesday, repaired and shipped back today. Now I have an extra HD2 since I had to buy another one in the meantime.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gdsbalaji:
repairs - mobile saved

well well....went and sat with the service assistant, made him repair my mobile in-front of me...htc apparently doesnt allow the service centers to change the digitizer alone...hence ended up changing the whole LCM module for 100$..

phone is with me now....working like a new piece...so folks...if you know how to change the digitizer..nothing like it....but its too risky and dangerous for your mobile if dont know how to do and screw up the mobile eventually...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CaCtuZ123:
Same here, since august I had that problem. Screen dies in the end.

Talked to HTC and they belive it is a software error, and for me simply to restore the phone to the original state...omg (censored).

I would as some wrote in this thread to use Button Saviour, the newer versions has a screen off function. And stay the hell off the cursed backbutton.

May the droid be with you.....

question, i have the same problem with touch screen not responding on power/end button.. but when you return the phone to t-mobile US would they know that you installed android or unlocked the nand or some sort?? i returned mine today and flashed everything back to normal stuff like leoimg.nbh and removed the hardspl.. is that good enough to erase all traces of android?? or am i screwed if they find it out...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] m4rc3l1n0:
I have the same problem too

Only in android mode

even when I just boot up android and leave it

I tried different Android build and still no luck

Should I try the Nand build android or it will be the same case with the SD build android?

in Winmo it just a slight delay and it working totallly fine

Will a hard reset help? I just ran the Darkstone Froyo a week ago and now my touchscreen isn't working at all? I'm sort of a noob to this, I really want my phone to work. =( It was amazing with android, now I have no clue what to do? Help anyone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PnoY:
are you from t-mobile? if you are then ask them if you're still covered with the one year warranty. they will gladly replace it but make sure to revert it back to winmo 6.5 and remove hardspl before sending it back or bringing it to a t-mo store..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Habbit:
I have a weird situation. By an amazing stroke of luck, the first time I dropped my HD2 was on concrete and of course, the screen cracked and all that jazz. This happened the day after Christmas. Merry Christmas to me. Anyway, I messed with all the buttons, played around with it to make sure nothing was wrong with it, and up until two-three weeks ago it had been working perfectly.

About three weeks ago I noticed that whenever I would turn the phone off using the End key, and turn it back on, sometimes the touchscreen would not work. At this time I was using Windows Mobile and wanted to transition to Android, but was too lazy to do it. Hoping that maybe a ROM change would fix the problem (I was using some GTX ROM, can't remember what...), I flashed back to the stock ROM. Voila, the screen off worked as it should.

I went through the procedure and flashed Android about a week and a half ago, and had zero problems with the screen up until Sunday, when the touchscreen issues cropped up again. With Windows Mobile, I had to completely reset the phone in order to get the screen working again, but with Android I noticed that sometimes turning the screen off and on multiple times did the trick. Thinking that the issue only arose when the screen was turned off, yesterday I set the display to never turn off, so I would be able to go through the day being able to use my phone. Sometimes during the day I would (not meaning to) turn off the screen, but after multiple button presses, and sometimes a soft reset everything would be back to normal... Until this morning that is, when I woke up (screen was still on), but now it is completely dead.

I am thoroughly confused due to my assumption that the screen turning off was the factor leading to the touchscreen being unresponsive, but now I am unsure as to what the problem may be. I have already ordered a screen and digitizer off eBay, and I am hoping that my particular issue is that the drop that occured in December has finally run it's course in killing my screen.

What do you guys think?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eugenile:
Yea that seems like hardware to me. I ran into this thread because of the same problem. I was in denial thinking it was just software, in the end it was hardware failure.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Giblet-dono:
This error also happened with a family member of mine

after a few days of, Less responsivness, it goes to total NO responsiveness!Weird error
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dawei:
happened to me too!

So had my HD2 for about 6 months now and I started having thid problem.

Mine is changed to a NAND android so no winmo

If I turn off the screen using the power button and turn it back on then ttje screen will stip working. But if I let the screen time out in it's own and turn it back on using any button instead of the wnd key then all is fine.

If I accidently press the power button to shut it off I have to goto rom manger, delete all files in the sd card(clearing cache and data doesn't do the trick) except the rom file. And then reinstall it. Then it works perfectly again.

Hate to believe this is a hardware problem -_-

Sorry for bad grammar,(phone spell check)

good chance its hardware

put your phone to sleep with the red power button and turn it on with the same button, how many times does the screen go unresponsive, if its on a regular basis, it is on its way out soon. no one wants to investigate and open it up and do tests to see if thers a cable there that gets worn after many presses or maybe modify it to fix.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 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.

[Vibrant General] SamVib:
I notice this when my Vibrant won't turn on. I have to take out the battery and restart it. When it reboots, I notice it has much less battery than it did prior to the freeze.

My question is, is anyone else experiencing this problem. I just bought my phone today.

Hopefully it will be fixed in 2.2 if this is occurring to others.
[Vibrant General] jonjacobmoon:
Return that phone. What do you mean, "when it my Vibrant won't turn on"? If it is no turning on, you've got a problem.

Hey,

im trying to do a nice theme and what id ideally like is the option to have on the main page to have shortcuts to folders containing just specific items such as games/utils/general apps instead of linking to the full app catalog and having to sort through.

at the min im just using one of the main pages thats full of games and it looks untidy so id like to sort it out :)

cheers

Touch the screen for a prolonged period of time and it should pop up a menu with "folders" in it

Hi guys,

My software version on phone is:

1.31.405.5

My locale is English(Norway).

Why don't i get OTA update 2.13.xxxx or any update begin with 2?

When i go to HTC official support site i see that only when i choose India as country i can see this update.Strange.How to know the region on my phone?Is it based on locale?For example if i choose English(norway)than my region is Europe.That's a bit confusing for me.Can someone explain

Thanks in advance
[Legend General] leikep:
I am in the same situation (locale English (Czech Republic)). Have no idea why am I still on 1.31.405.5. I hope the Froyo will be avaiable to all regions at the same time (at least in europe).

it wont be that way, there will be differences of a week at least, thats how they do it , i believe they don't won't to stress the downlad servers

If you're totally stuck you could always try the PASSIMG method rather than trying to update. Will wipe the phone though.

Grab this: http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-0713_FRF91.zip

Rename to PASSIMG.zip

Copy to root of the SD card

Power off phone

I researched XDA, amazon, case-mate and so on and so forth. I need a case, thin, with some weight and has some protection. I would like to buy it online. I can't find a nice case that is good looking. Most of them are ugly/dull.

Case needs to meet the following conditions.

Thin

Protection

Add some weight

And, eBay is not an option.

Maximum bill is $40.

It is not in our stock browser, so the only solution would be to add a 3rd party browser. You could always pull a browser from CM5 and push it to your phone.

Hi everybody,

recently I downgraded my firmware on my Galaxy S International version from JM5 to JM1 Rev3 (the official one) via Odin and applied Tatayuma's update.zip Lagfix 2.3.3 together with the Epic 4G GPS fix and did a restore of my nearly 100 Apps with Titanium Backup.

The phone is working fine for now except one very annoying thing:

When I try to enter words using Swype after a couple of words or so Swype starts to extremely lag for a few seconds and then it freezes completely. I tried to use google for a solution but the only thing i found is this very illustrative video on youtube from another user having exactly the same problem like me: www . youtube . com/watch?v=I_8S6JfHPmE

I'm not yet allowed to post links therefor please remove the spaces above.

Does anybody have any idea how to solve this?

Hi there, I've been using a Froyo 2.2 Sense Build (not exactly sure which one anymore) for a while now with no stability issues, even Robovoice just being a problem in certain situations, not always.

So it is pretty much an almost complete WinMo replacement if it wasn't for two things;

Sense Music app is displaying all sounds (even from games etc) in the tracks list. all my music used to sit in the "music" folder on the root of my SD card. Now i put the music folder into the media folder that was created by android.

I still get all audio files there. (I also get every ringtone triple btw) Please advise.

The other thing is skype, but that isn't an android issue just Skype LLC/Ebay effing with the users and not seeing the light. Damn them until they do.

On a rooted HTC Desire I installed the XDA rom: “LeeDrOiD V2.0 (30/08 l Official 2.2 l FAST l STABLE l OPTIONAL A2SD+)”.

I need to create on the SD Card (of 16GB) a partition EXT3.

I have used Quick System Info Pro and A2SC storage to check and it displays “Information not available”.

I have installed on HTC the utility “Rom Manager” in order to try to create the EXT type partition.

When I am trying to format with Rom Manager the software does not ask me what type of partition to create (EXT2 or EXT3), but only what size to have and the size of swap.

Can you help me by giving advice on how to create the EXT3 partition?

Thank you in advance.

I ended up creating the partition using gparted on my linux box, but after copying all the files back to my fat32 partition, and rebooting my phone it no longer recognizes the applications installed to sd using froyo a2sd. (I have not installed old school a2sd yet as it is not compatible with the version of CM I'm using... waiting for 6.1)

Is there a reason the phone wouldn't see the files for the applications? I created my fat32 partition first, then an ext3 with the remainder.

Have you tried

- moving all the apps on the SD back to the phone

- Do a backup i.e. Titanium

- Reboot phone

- Create partition using ROM Manager

- Re-install apps \ Move to SD

should

work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killawatts:
I have 16mb of available space on my phone with every application possible moved to the sd card so moving them back is out of the question.

How mine is set up

Use Unrevoked to install Amon-Ra (that way if you enter recovery via HBOOT you go to Amon-Ra

Then keep RomManager installed, if you need to do anything via clockworkmod you can do it via this app, which "fake flashes" the recovery for its purposes, however still leaves Amon-Ra as its permanent recovery.
