Does your screen "hum" when on? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi,
I do not know if this is common to all Himalayas: I have a brand new TSM500 since last wednesday and I can hear a little hum when is closed to my ears.
I suppose that this hum comes from the screen because it does not depends on using the phone, it makes it always except of being off.
Since the Himalaya is under warranty, should I go to the shop and replace it for a new one?????
Thanks in advance,
Luis.

Don't know if this helps but in my experience all screens hum when the back light is on.

Hi,
maybe you are right but the iPAQ 4155 doesn´t hum, it is the one I used before purchasing the XDA II.
I also had an Acer n10 and I remember it hummed. Since from my experience some PDA's hum and others not I want to be assured that his humming is common.
At least I know that yours hum, let's see if it happens to everyone.
Thanks.

hmm.. Mine doesnt hmm.
sounds faulty. Whats your battery life like?

HALF FRONT of WIZARD Slightly ROCKING,MOVING

hi wizard brothers n sisters, just got my BNew imate kjam last week and it kinda irritate me, the FRONT(i mean the half front that has the screen,button etc.) of the kjam is quite loosen, not tight enough,and it's moving a little bit,when you rock it.hope you understand what i mean.
does anyBODY here have the same WIZARD problem? is this NORMAL or WHAT?
it's just a little tiny bit of movement,but it's REALLT IRRITATE me:evil: ,m very sorry,m just a 99% perfectionist,but if this is normal then i accept for the love of wizard.
i didn't bought HERMES yet because it's still NEW in the market,maybe m gonna w8t until the BUGS decrease around 90%
does anybody experience this? it's like when your in portrait mode,the front is not that quite lock toght,it's moving a VERY little bit. so is this NORMAL?
quite confusing....

@ ArtXT
I don't know if your problem is similar to my Qtek 9100 (sounds like it might be), basically my top housing(screen and buttons) had a small gap between the it and the keyboard when in "portrait mode" and sort of had a rocking motion as you mentioned when pressing on the "call" and "end" buttons or anywhere in the vicinity, but I thought nothing of it at the time (still annoyed me though :wink: ), and 9 months later it developed an annoying creaking noise everytime I pushed on the "end call" button or anywhere just below the buttons. I compared it my friend's MDA and noticed that his had no gap between the keyboard and screen housing what so ever (nice and snug). So, being under the Qtek 2 year warranty I sent it in for repairs via Sound Solutions AM, about 3 weeks ago and is on its way back. The repair company noted that the it was due to a "poor fit" and it being "out of shape" and was covered under warranty. I should be getting it back hopefully this week if not early next week and will post the results...In the meanwhile I feel that you should consider exchanging it or sending it in for warranty repairs....that's just me, after seeing my friends MDA, it was a no brainer for me, hope this helps.
Regards,
tnx for the reply bro, but my problem is not like that,mine has a little gap also,but very very little,what i mean is the lower part lock mechanism of my kjam is some some of NOT TIGHT. maybe i'll just bring it back for some service maintenance,my friend to me that he got the same problem and doesn't annoy him,he said get use to it bec. it's a mechanism device so xpect that in the future,he said the important thing is it runs 100%, and it's true,the performance,software and hardware are both running 100% wild.maybe it's me that has a problem attitude of such device. :lol:

Burnt out Camera Flash Light

Apologies if this has already been discussed, in which case please indicate the thread to me.
I have burnt out the bright light, which is used as a flashlight for the camera. Has anyone had the same problem and been able to repair it without sending it back for repairs. If positive, where can I find the parts in the United Kingdom?
Many thanks for your assistance

Burnt out Camera Flash light
That is the worst thing! I used the camera, not your software to map the key. Closed the XDA, put it in my pocket and the damn flash led stayed on for over an hour!!!
Eric
Bah, humbug. I built timers into mine for just that reason.
If it's under warranty you might be able to get a new for old. Otherwise, I really couldn't say, I don't know if the device is still available in this country

Yes, it is still under warranty, will have to return it. On a separate issue, if it no longer available in the country (but still provided by 02), what is replacing it?

Where, tried everything, maplin, rswww, got some different leds, tried them, nothing works. Really appreciate if you could tell me where to get them. Eric
This is another case for me!
Well, I currently don't have any problems with my universal's "flash light", but it surely is a high intensity white led.
Most of these leds have the same operating voltage and if this is not the case, it will be neccessary just to measure the exact voltage at the led's leads, it might not even be burnt at all, it it's surely driven by a transistor.
I was just watching lumileds page and they have a led that does exactly the "flash" function, they even mention a competitor (I don't who it is but might be osram or another), what's also important is that phisically is that the led has to be phisically similar and the wors thing that can happen is that might be dimmer than the original.
I'll try to find out something more...
bye for now
i have exec for sale buy it take the bulb out then sell the screen and parts on

I hate my luck - 2nd Broken Co-ax

Ever get that feeling that someone doesn't like you?
Just now after taking a picture of the keyboard membrane my universals Co-ax cable decided to break, for the second time since I got it in late November
unlike last time though it's not completely broken, the screen only works when the display is twisted (see video), I'm wondering how long it will last like that though
anyone know where i can get a replacement cheap or has a broken universal that I can buy for spares?
thanks

My touchscreen has died... Argh!

Hi all,
Well, it seems my phone has given up the ghost and died on me. The phone boots up, and the screen comes on, but it is completely unresponsive to touch. THe hardware buttons are working though. Has this happened to anyone else? I've taken good care of my phone - always in the case - originally pouch then HTC flip case, never dropped, and kept well away from water. I never had a serious problem with the phone before, now this happens. It's so frustrating - only had it for 6 weeks! Now have to send it all the way back to Singapore and wait for them to sort it out and send it back. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
David
Try a HardReset, see if that fixes it. Had this issue 2 times when I had my HTC TyTN II.
Soft-Reset or HardReset.... First try the soft tho.
And on what ROM are you?
I've done a soft and a hard reset - no go, still down. Using official 1.66 ROM. Any ideas?
You're not operating in an extremely-cold environment are you? The digitizer drops in performance when it's cold.
Nor are you wearing gloves? With it being a capacitive device it relies on the natural electronic flow of your body to disrupt the electro-magnetic field the digitizer produces. Unless you're wearing very thin gloves, then gloves will stop the screen 'seeing' your finger.
Can't really think of anything else that may help.
If it's not environmental and you can't find any software causes, then your digitizer most likely has kicked the dust.
Definitely not in a cold environment - live in Durban in the tropics... And so no gloves either. If it is the digitiser, would it be covered by the warranty?
Yes it should be covered by the warranty.

it has also happened to me! I have had to send him/it in guarantee because it deals with problem hrdware (recognized in many models by the htc). They will handle the substitution of the display and other parts hardware.
P.S.: to me you/he/she has begun not to work in days with high damp and cold
Well, we've had a long spell of very hot weather and evening thunderstorms. Could being in a cool airconditioned environment and then going out into the humid outdoors have been the cause of the problems?

wtf.. mine just did this today also?...
I worked just fine a few hours ago here in my office. But now... nothing.
I also take really good care of my phone, had it for ~3 months now and not even a small nick or anything on it.
just did a hardreset on mine also. And still no life.
touch screen is totally dead - gonna send mine in for repairs then.
Maybe it's a conspiracy by HTC... What environmental conditions were you under?

well its ~1c outside rigth now but it has been in a nice warm office all day, for like 3 hours or so before it broke
Maybe it's the transition from warm to cold and back that broke our phones. If it is, what can be done to prevent it happening again?

nothing i guess. Its not like mine has been that cold...
my trip this morning
6.30 am - locked my door and walked like 10 meters to my car, got in turned the heater on and had it running a podcast
7.45 am - arrived at work and walked like 50 meters to the front door
~11 am - phone display stopped working
So its not like i have been outside that much for it to get really cold. I always carry it in my front pocket.
Oh great, yet another potential problem I'll have to look out for.

well tbh i dont think its a hot/cold problem. It has been even colder for the last few months and it has never missed a beat. I agree that the coincidence is almost off the charts. But it may just be a manufacturing problem with some of them and CloneboyZA and i just have bad luck.
I thought I'd been lucky enough to get a decent one, but guess it was not to be...
Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
Sent it to repair and they swapped the screen.

Right/Left Backlight luminosity difference

It's been a little more than 2 weeks that i've got my OnePlus 5 and i just noticed something today.
Does any of you guys have noticed any difference between the right and left Backlight ? The right one seems less brighter than the left one for me.
I'm usually not the type of guys who's constantly searching any little defect, not at all. It's a really small detail (why I didn't saw it till now ?) but it's still not normal for a brand new phone.
Maybe I'm the only one, just curious about that.
Since I'm the type of guys who want a perfect product I'm also considering returning the product for repairing or maybe replacement depending on their solution. But first, will it be a real reason to them to demand a repairing ?
Thanks for reading all this :good:
