Hi there,
I got a T-mobile MDA for almost a year now. The housing of it is actually a terrible seeing, therefore i had ordered on ebay a housing and got i today by mail. Happily i opened the mda, using the manual of this website and removed everything step by step and installed the new housing.
But here it comes. Everything is installed, turn on the sing louds of a soft reset and the screen doesn't displayes anything. I tought it was my mistake, that i might forgot or had not plugged something the right way in the MDA. Once again i opened it and checked everything, but without succes. The screen does only shows some strange lines with no light, it's verry strange. Can someone help me? It has to be fixed as soon as possible! Thnx in advance
no replies huh? what did it turn out to be if u fixed it, i dont thinkill get replies too..
It's either you have the wrong type of screen or some loose connection.
2 days ago my Vodafone V1605 (HTC 1.35.255.2 ROM) started to exhibit a strange problem in that programs would just close themselves.
Phone would work fine for a few minutes after reset, then if I started an application the app would close itself, even if I select the Start button the menu would just disappear.
I reset, hard reset, removed SD card, still same problem even with no SD card and no third pary apps, also removed battery overnight.
Just flashed back to original Vodafone ROM (1.20.161.6) and still the same problem.
Has anyone come across this before as I am at a loss to fix it, could it be a strange hardware issue?
Any help appreciated!
Hi skearon unfortunately it sounds like you have the screen alignment issue, my orange m3100 had the exact same symptoms. I found if I took the battery out for a while and put the phone in a cool place it would work ok for about 2mins then the same things would start happening, try contact vodafone for a warranty claim if you can.
to check if it is the SA issue use the few minutes that the phone works ok to go to the screen alignment applet in settings, continual run this and see if the screen goes out of alignment.
There are possible fixes in the wiki but the best bet is to get it fixed by vodafone.
Orange refered me to HTC vodafone will probably do the same.
Good luck
Rob

Thanks for the quick reply Rob, not the news I wanted but at least I'm not alone!
I also noticed that after installing mButton that the apps aren't closed they are still running in the background plus if I open the keyboard the system goes mad with the start menu appearing and disappearing all the time.
As it works for a while after being switched off, is it a heat related problem?
Possibly not directly the SA problem but related though. Some hermes are very sensitive to the expansion caused by heat put in pressure on the screen digitizer and sometimes like yours putting pressure on the screen - leading to phantom taps on the screen. i.e. when you open keyboard a bit of pressre in the wrong place and a menu can appear and disappear and programmes close by themselves. Whether the screen is also misaligned is pot luck but it has the same cause.
Rob61280's advice is absolutely right get it replaced under warranty rather than trying the fixes because you have the more serious problem and it's more than just pure SA issue.

Vodafone Ireland's response is "we are aware of the problem and are awaiting a software upgrade from the manufacturer"
Does anyone have a good web link that definately points to a hardware problem, ideally from another Vodafone company?
My V1605 has HTC's 1.35.255.2 ROM installed (but didn't tell Vodafone IE that!)

see here, unfortunately applies to HTC TyTns but since HTC, the manufacturer admit the issue then this must be good ammunition against Vodaphone. It would be good if you can also show the more obvious SA problem as well as the closing programme matter, as this shows a more direct connection to the HTC statement.
If you can show the more straightforward SA issue then Vodaphone cannot claim a ROM issue. A simple google search will throw up tons of references to it being a hardware matter. In addition other suppliers HTC included are exchanging these with few questions asked.
Might also be helpful if someone can post a link to the original HTC statement.

Thanks guys for the advice, Vodafone IE have agreed to replace the unit so fingers crossed for a good one next time
Update: Vodafone IE have agreed to collect the faulty unit but are now saying it will be some weeks before I get a replacement as they are waiting for new ones from HTC :-(
PLease NEed Serious Help
Today i have been having the same reported problem with my 1 month old v1605. The thing is i bought this over ebay. I live in Malta and vodafone malta does not sell this phone. I bought this phone from an ebay seller in the Uk.

Yep. I have had this problem too. And my TyTN is not the first problematic lot.
I installed magicbutton and, everytime when I open new apps, others closed.
But reading this topic, I realigned the screen (just one time) and everthing is fine now.
Hello everyone
RE: XDA EXEC/QTEK 9000
I have recently updated my sofware on the O2 website and after following the instructions to the letter the screen will just show a mess of green and red dots all over the screen in vertical sections?
I have tried a hard reset soft rest and all the other posible resets i can do but still this screen wont go away?????
Please help if you could suggest anything
Thank you
Shepshed2000
ME TOO!!!
I have had exactly the same happen to me, it appears that O2 are total amateurs when it comes to supplying ROM upgrades. not only that but you will find that the support no. on the site actually takes you nowhere. I sent mine back to the supplier and after trying to reflash the ROM they were unsuccessful and so i am now waiting on a new XDA. Dont bother with O2 as they were no help at all to me, firstly i couldnt get through at all and after 2 weeks of emailing them every day i got a response telliung me how to put the unit into boot loader mode (no help at all!!!!!)
Good luck to you in getting this issue resolved, i only hope that you have it insured like myself.
Once again O2 you are indeed crap!! thanks for the service that i didnt recieve, altho i pay way over the odds for this otherwise worthy handset.
£££££ what does it cost to repair? £££££
my phone is using a vodafone sim card and i bought the phone off ebay so reciepts etc are nowhere
will o2 still help me fix this ?
do you know how much it will cost ??
or am i best to throw it in the bin
plz reply soon
thank you people
HI guys!
Help Needed Big time.
I am using an O2 Mini s from the past 6 months. Everything was running smoothly until one day when the screen started getting white. Initially the problem would persist for a fraction of second a soft reset would rectify it. Now the problem has worsened. The entire screen is white i cant see anything on the screen but can receive calls. At times i can see a faded owner information but nothing more than that.
Could you guys please help me? I dont know what the problem is all about and how to fix it. I love this phone and dont want to sell it.
PLS HELP!!!!
Cheers
have same, any ideas?
looks like a broken screen digitizer. You will have to send it in for repairs probably.
My 9090 also had it and it was 100Euro already only on parts. So didnt took the matter and now have a p3300.
My Topaz Touch Panel got "Freezed" for several times a day,
the situation is, it will sudddently freeze at one point,
when every touch on the panel, it comes jump up and down, goes left and right,
I though it is problem with old rom and radio version, so tried to install different kind of version to try to solve but.......... I'm so depress that the problem still here.
Yesterday, I finally found what's the trick to make it back to normal,
it is to open the back cover and push it back !!! Then the touch panel will become ok works.
It is very curious and I don't know why....but that cause me upset and lots of trouble, I'm gonna to throw away my Topaz if the problem still here
Hope someone could help me
You feel free to mail that Topaz to my PO Box if it's such a big problem for you... I'll take it off you hands
Sounds like a hardware issue, I'd contact HTC or your carrier to get it repaired
