damages or...?

Hy everyone i`m new on this part of XDA forum,I just bought my self a HTC Tytn and i have some prb with it.Sometimes the display suddenly turns white but i don`t know why even when i press long power button,in the menu i have the camera shortcut but when i try to access her it just won`t open the camera,the signal allways changes rare when it stays full signal.I have the official wm6 ROM eng what can i do?

You appear to be suffering the dreaded whitescreen... There are a heap of different things that seem to cause this and it can be a royal pain to fix as there may be multiple causes (do a search for whitescreen hermes). If you bought 2nd hand then thats why...
As for the camera, a Hard reset or different rom may fix this as long as the camera hasn't been jarred loose off the mainboard contact. You'd need to open to fix that.
Cheers...

When i bought it it had wm 6 black 2.0 and still didn`t work after that i put the official wm6 ROM but still don`t work i openit and the camera it is still on the main board i don`t know what to do with it none of the 2 cameras works

Did you check the camera was plugged in correctly. It is quite easy to remove and can look attached when in fact it isn't. Refer to the HTC service manual to pull it apart properly.
Cheers...

i took it off and then put it at her place again but still doesn`t work the OS sees her but i can`t access her

i just flash the latest spl 2.03 but when i enter the bootloader it shows me..
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Oli pro
does it show correctly?
...sorry for my bad english...:">

Its ok you have HardSPL
With this you can Upgrade whatever you find in your way jajajaja
Try to search there is outside a Thread related to this trouble White screen.

But make sure you Hard SPL your Hermes again to 2.10 olipro. Hard SPL V7...

i did it thanx for the support guys so now i got...
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.60.Olipro is this a good spl?

Even that!!!
How can you change to 2.XX.Olipro?
If you were 1.40.Olipro!!!!!!! i want to do this too!!!!!!
BTW does it have a high difference? and the IPL what? does I need to upgrade it too?

i just run the RUU the ipl i whant to upgrade but i ain`t sure that this can be posible..differences betwen the other one oli pro`s SPL i can see any untill now but i`m sure it has to be some i saw that the differences betwen the version`s are poasted on the spl thread so...i don`t think that the differences can be seen

Urgent help required (touch screen problem)

i have a mda vario 2 ( hermes) i've been installed a rom called hermes_wwe_3.62 Malina2d now phone boots up fine but the touch screen dose not work at all ! can anyone help ? .
To get pass the alignment screen i had to create a file on storage card " welcome.not" and that got me pass alignment screen.
now i am a newbie so please all the help would be appreciated i did have a look for file called touch.dll to replace it but could find one. ( as i read somewhere that might be the problem.
my ipl -1.04 & spl-2.10.01ipro
i really don't know what to do i have tried to re flash the rom no luck there.
all the hardware buttons work fine.

Not sure about that one. Why not post the question in the thread from where you got the rom? That name doesn't ring a bell.
If not try flashing the stock shipped rom, or the at&t stripped to see if the issue goes away. If it does go away, then don't use that rom.

cant really remember where i got the rom from as i the phone is my little sisters. do you have a link for the rom you suggested

My sig has the stripped rom, and the shipped at&t roms. You can also find some programs and my roms there too.
And to be safe make sure that hardspl is installed.
If that doesn't fix it, there might be a hardware issue.

cheers for your help. i am going to download one of your roms and pray that might resolve the issue . what the latest hardspl ? i thought 2.10 was the latest ? how do i tell what is the on i have installed on the phone ? Hardspl and spl are they the same thing ?

If you flash one of mine, flash the at&t rom first, that will straighten out any issues with the memory.
if you have 2.10olipro, your all set! spl (or hardspl) is the bootloader.

no luck still having issue with the touch screen wont wont work.

the touch screen used to work fine before. all this it just became very laggy so i decided to upgrade the rom , i went to thru a few roms.
any other idea ?

i must say i do love your rom everything is set out all nice and neatly shame the touch isn't working.

Thanks for the compliment on the rom!
Sounds like it has some kind of hardware issue. If your inclined to take it apart carefully (I haven't taken mine apart yet), you might be able to check all of the connections, and for dirt or anything that might be the issue.
I believe there are disassemble instructions on the wiki.
Maybe someone with more experience in taking the phone apart can chime in.

touchscreen issue
i m having the stupid touchscreen issue i have tried everything ( including disassembly and removing gasket but it still does not calibrate
starting to hate that phone

Sounds like Digitizer could be dead.... Need to replace the LCD and Digitizer if thats the case.
The trouble with this is there are a few different things that could be causing this and just replacing the LCD might not fix it.
Sounds like it could be though. If you are having trouble, DON'T do a hard reset until you have installed an app called "remote screen alignment", freeware off the net. It copies the alignment info to the PC so you can do a quick alignment using the PC instead of the buggered screen. Otherwise you'll be going in circles for ever without being able to get into the today screen.
Cheers...

actually i have hard reset the device
the trick is to put a file called welcome.not on memory card to skip first time alignment
i'll change screen and see if it fixes itself later
i ll use the phone as it is till then

new lcd
i changed the lcd it worked flawlessly for 3 weeks then bang! the bottom half of the lcd stop to work
i think that the ribbon on the lcd got damaged when i installed it on the hermes the fact that it needs to be turned 360 degrees during assembly cause the problem any thoughts from you guys????

Touchscreen does not react

Today I used my HD like always. When I picked it up and tried to unlock it, the screen did not react. It does not react to any kind of push on the touchscreen or on the 4 touch buttons. The device starts as it has always, but I can't do anything with it. In the last couple of days I have not installed any additional software, so that can't be it either.
Soft resetting does not work either.
The device is fully loaded, has updated original rom.
Can anyone help me

Try HardReset (VolUp+VolDown then 1click PowerOn, follow display): if this isn't usefull -> Customer Service
D'rath
PS: HR erases all

After the hard reset the screen goes to a message saying: tap screen to set up your device.
I still can't tap the screen so the hard reset ends there...
Is there someone who knows a solution, if not I will have to send it back to the factory or something.

i had that bother with mine, it turned out that it was the orange rom that was causing all the problems. I put in dutty's 3.4 and that solved it

My provider is T-mobile. This means no special rom is on my hd. Is it wise to put Dutty's rom on my hd, with the thought that i might want to sent it back to HTC? Can I after putting Dutty's rom on it and finding out it still does not work put another rom on there leaving no trace of dutty's rom?

If you still have the original rom on it, seems to me that the best option is to send it off under warranty.

+1 Anfloyd say true ^^
Better solution if under warranty
D'rath

Most likely a fault with the digitizer. Happened to mine and quite a number of others. I had mine fail and had to get it repaired.

Than that is what I will do.
Thanks for the advice all!

I have same problem with my HD!
So what was cousing problem - software(ROM) or hardware?
And did waranty cover it?

I have this with most of the newer ROMs and with all W6.5 roms.
Try to flash to a version from around april of this year.

I have this problem also - luckily for me I live in Milton Keynes and the HTC repair centre is just round the corner from me. I have taken it there for repair under warranty. Will let you know what they say when I get it back....which hopefully will be today.

Hi guys ,
i have the same problem .
Touchscreen stopped to work. It was up but not possible to tap anything.
I think to change digitizer and then all the lcdscreen.
Is possibile to change only the digitizer ?

yes it is possable to change the digitizer but it is easier to replace both digitizer+lcd

How 2 unlock when there is no touch???
Me sum how the same! (Touch 3G T3238+ cloam)
The phone is locked & touch is not working @ all!
The "unlock" option is on the bottom L. but, there is no touch 2 tap it!! & I can't hard reset w/ any key combination.
Keys work 4 a new opened window e.g. I can answer a call w/ they keys but, they r inactive on homepage.
It's like a PC w/ neither a mouse nor a keyboard!!
When I want 2 install a ROM from SD, there is no touch to choose an option!!
Can any1 help plz??? Thank u.

Guy,
First of all sorry for my english.
I've got same problem 3 days ago. I found out that it's something wrong with the touch sceen. I ordered from local here in bangkok Thailand. it's cost about 700 baht or 20$ us.
I replaced it myseft it's not so difficult. After replace touch sceen module (digitizer). it's work perfectly again.

Dear funnyfriday,
Thanks a lot 4 ur reply.
Well, I was not sure if my touch was really damaged, mostly I though it was a software problem ......
@ last could unlock it by connecting it 2 the PC!!! Now it's unlock but seems that the touch has problem itself BUT mostly there is a software issue 2 as the keys sum times work & sum times don't!!
4 now I'll try 2 change the touch (the phone was bought from another country & in my country the phone & its accessories r not available!)
As soon as I could find any result & a matched ROM, I'll let every 1 know about it
Thanks 2 all.

hi - i had this problem too , HTC guaranty changed my touch completely , after a month i had this problem again and they changed the whole pannel again , now it works fine

Really!! Well, 4 me no guaranty access! I'll change the touch - if it was possible! - then I think I should w8 & c when it gets damaged again!!!

Hi xda-developers,
such problem is caused by an upnormal pressure that applyed on the screen (when set down on the phone while in your pocket), this pressure affect the two layers of the pnone degitizer to be twisted and contacted allways.
you can repaire this by repaire the degitizer as in the last section of this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noVnvDXWrj8
dont worry because it is not your phone, this is common tip and may applyed to any screen digitizer to release the contact between the layers.
another way is to replace the screen digitizer with a new one from HTC Care Center.

Hi, & thanks 4 ur reply.
I watched ur video. May b u can help me plz.
My phone is Touch 3G T3238+. The screen has no response on any part! only it makes sumthing like waves/halo around finger on touch; does this corresponds 2 any thing?? It got out of order just suddenly after a hard reset.
I went 4 heating but w/ a match!! not a lighter; mayb I did not heated it enough??
Do u know any other way plz?? Shall I heat it again?
Thank u so much

replace your digitizer my dear

Urgent Help PLEASE!!! Blackstone Digitizer DIE

Hello i decide to post here because i dont know right now do is a ROM related problem or no and on the same time here will see it more peoples and hope someon to know what is this.
Yesterday something strange heppand with my Blackstone, without to do anything i just decide to see the time and when i turn on the device was totaly Freeze not reacting on any touch, im using the ROM from my signature from Mounth without any problem. So i was thinking that maybe its from the ROM what i did is Soft Reset few times But this does not help.. the device fully load But the screen is not responsive also the hardware buttons do not vibrate?!!? when i press them they do not react ot anything.
After i saw that the SR not helping i do a Hard Reset and when the device whole load the ROM and preparing for 1st time use i was not able to Calibrate the screen.. the strange thing is that the display react on touch because when im taping in the corners the crozz move and when i do all the steps just start from the begining all the time and i cannot pass this step.
After i saw that this do not help me alot i decide to Flash so i put Manualy the device in Bootloader mode and via PC methoud i flash a Brand new ROM, when the ROM fully load and im going again to the Align Screen i have again the same problem the procedure start over and over and i cannot do anything.
1st i was thinking that something heppand with my Display but i didn`t do anything with the device i mean drop it or damage it somehow.. this heppand like the device is at the table at home and few minutes Befor i speak on that Phone. On the same time Im sure the display react on touch even wrong... because when im pressing the X on the calibration screen is move and befor to do Hard Reset when i was with the ROM from my signature.. and restart few times.. when the phone Load a POP UP of notification appear and the strange things was that i was able to scroll it up and down with fingers so for this reason i was thinking is a Problem ROM and need to HR or FLasdh diferent ROM. The notification Pop Up that appear when you click the Taskbar somewhere you know that you cannot slide it because its static.. so how this heppand i dont know.
PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA what i need to do let me know this heppand for 1st time and i never hear for soooo weird Blackstone.
THank you in advance
P.S Today im 22 November im going to Repair Service here because my device still have One Mounth Warranty left so maybe im lucky or no will see that leter.. i post this because to let you know that its not necassery to drop or damage your device the Display (Digitizer) to Stop working.. in my sutuation the device was static on the table i never drop it and use it 20 minutes befor the display to die i make a call so im using this device from 23 Mounths and i think that just the Display Die itself.. and to be more corect the display still work and show everything but the digitizer DIE so have that on mind

i still don't understand how the f*** does this fin into ROM development
but anyway it also happened to me,first the digitizer went a bit crazy,then it went completely crazy and than i replaced it with a new one
i did it by myself...it can easily be done if you have any hand skills and can hold a screwdriver
but be really careful with placing the new digitizer over the screen because any irregularity may cause dust to later get in between the two
digitizer is less than 20usd i believe...
lcd+digitizer are 60+ if i remember correctly
if you decide yourself for lcd+digitizer first check if those are already sealed to each other,because if not,you will have the same situation as if you ordered the digitizer only...but with 40+ usd wasted in vain
also be extra extra extra careful while removing old digitizer from the lcd
cheers

If you are stack in the align screen, try first to create a summy file named "welcome.not" and put it in the root of your storage card. This will allow you to go through ROM setup without align. Then check to see if the screen is responding and if not then you most probably need to do what farukb said above.

MOD EDIT - Moved to General discussion as not related to rom development

In my case, the SD card was corrupted and in the next 3-4 days the touch screen is not responding either... I should note that in my case, I followed the advice by Stathis and created a "welcome.not" dummy file in the root of the phone's memory, so it skipped the screen alignment procedure. Unfortunately the screen is responding so I will have to take it to the service center in order to have it checked, in case it is still under warranty (I have bought it 2nd hand).
Otherwise, I will have to order a new screen and try to install it myself. Wish me luck!

Same here, i have some kind of smudge, like oil spill, on the screen. i thought of buying just the digitizer but as i disassembled it, found the digitizer and the display are a set, so don't bother buying just one of the parts.
