Compact V won't vibrate anymore

My Compact V has stopped vibrating. Even when I do a reset it doesn't do the initial one. Have had a read around and some say to see if the screw holding the vibrate motor has come away. Only prob I have is no assembly guide. Any clues to the initial problem or source for the disassembly guide?
TIA

May be you have played with you registry ore some hided settings. If so, try hard reset. I know that it is the last thing to do, but in the end you’ll know whether it hardware problem ore not.

Just loaded a new Rom (NRG's LEO) and still no vibrate so I guess it's a hardware problem. Will have to flash back to an original Rom before sending back to T-Mobile. Anyone have a link for a Compact V UK rom?

No probs. Found it. Many thanks to LobsterDave.

Hardware problem (buttons), please help.

over the past few weeks some of the buttons (namely left soft key, up and left) have stopped working, i've tried numerous roms just incase but it's definatley a hardware issue, now, i've dismanted the phone using the diamantos guide to see if anything jumps out at me, gave the phone a damn good cleaning whilst i had the chance, put it back together....but nothing, everything seems to be in order, all components in their rightful place but i still cant work it out, does anyone know if this is a common problem or if theres a fix as i've been unsuccessful in my searches.

actually, i just found the solution and it worked a treat, thanks anyway people.
btw, if anyone would like to know what i did then i'll be more than happy to share the solution.

I'm beginning to experience the same symptoms. I would be most grateful if you could publish the solution, or at least the link for an eventually already published solution.
Thank you very much in advance.

G1 Physical Keyboard - Inputs random keys

I have a G1, running Cyanogenmod (latest build). Whenever i use the physical keyboard it sometimes will randomly input strings of characters. The most common is "/ ~z{"
I first thought this was a software issue, i began by uninstalling all my apps.. Issue was still present.
I then did a factory reset back to Cyanogenmod, issue is still there.
I then booted into the console in the recovery and guess what?! The issue is still there even in console..
Anyone else have this issue? Is it hardware related or software? Its very annoying, I have a new G1 coming from tmobile as warranty but i'd like to know what causes this issue.

Hardware. If you are comfortable you could disassemble it and clean it.
The most common button to go, reading xda, would be the space 'bar'.

Thanks, i wanted to confirm this. The unit is under warranty from tmobile still so im getting a free exchange anyways.
What is the easiest way to get my current rom app's, and settings over to my new G1?

Backup for root users probably.

[Q] Cannot Hardreset my phone?

Hui all xda-developers.
I'm a knew member in here, so I will first say hi to all members .
As my title says, i cannot Hard-reset my phone (HTC HD2/LEO).
The hole thing is a big story, but what the hack
First I brooked my screen, then I tried to change the screen, but without problems. Then after to month, I did make an Password for my phone, because of privacy thing on the phone. BTW, the phone changed the password itself .
I talked with HTC, and they says that it is a bug in the phone, and the only way was a hard-reset, (But when i clanged the screen, i did broke the volume up and down button ) - then they gave me a price if they should make my phone 4000 Danish krone's ........ I will not give 4000 DK, I have All ready paid about 5-6000 Danish krone's for the phone!..
Is there someone in this forum that can help me? I all ready have searched Google and so on, talked with so many people, but all the time they say 'Hard-reset' ..
I seriously don't no what I have to do, maybe it is possible by USB cable :S

So your main problem is that the phone changed the password and not you cant hard reset right ?
This happens a lot even there is a thread about it somewhere. Try to remove the sim card and the sd-card then enter your pin code.
Or if that didn't work you can try to flash an official ROM for your device via USB, But since you broke the vol rockers and your phone is locked I'm not exactly sure how you'd go into bootloader nor connect in ActiveSync mode. Give it a try, it may work

Welcome to xda!
I think that the HD2 section must be overwhelming for a starter... and the search function can deliver confusing results.
However, as the phone has already some major on-market time, most problems you might face have been discussed sometime in the past, that is why I do recommend you to use the search function with simple search terms.
Now, about your question:
Please check this thread: Klick!
The tip nr. 15 describes how to reset your phone - and the rest of the thread describes many other more or less unknown features and functions of your phone.

He already knows how to hard reset
But his vol's are broken, that's why he's asking

Mate if you broke the screen and the volume key buttons then why on earth are you trying to reset the phone?
Fix the hardware first and then deal with a hard reset. If both those items are broken then there really is no way to hard reset the HD2. I wish you the best of luck but it looks like your HD2 is really dead...

I'm trying to reset my phone, because i cannot find those hardware\main board for the phone on the Internet? (Those wires in the phone, that goes to the volume up and down)
If you can recover an Nokia (something) without an hard reset, then why can we not do it on an HD2 ? Do you no what i mean >?

^^^ Yeah, my bad. Missed the whole point that the hardware is completely broken. And a password issue.
Anyway...

Screen not working

Hey everyone, recently my hd2 touch screen stopped working, I'm not sure why it stopped responding but it will only respond by the physical buttons. The only thing I can do with it is turn it on and put it into sleep and or turn it on to the lock screen. I currently have android on it.
I searched around and found out that alot of people had the same problem as me and the only way to fix it is by sending it to HTC so they can replace the faulty screen. Now I'm going to try that but before I send it in I want to reset the phone back to original settings with WM 6.5 and remove the SPL. The problem is I am not sure how to do it, so can anyone let me know how I can do all that or point me in the right direction?
Appreciate the help

I had the exact same issue. I reset the phone multiple times and tried different roms from stock to modded, android to winMo 6.5 with no success. Your luck might be different, but the only way I was able to get my HD2's screen running properly was to have the digitizer replaced. I know it sucks, but at least you're not the 1st to deal with it.

The right direction would be the search button. Just look for "Remove HSPL", "Uninstall HSPL" and you'll find plenty of results:

One warning: please check whether you need a EU or TMOUS ROM before proceeding... Wrong ROM could brick your device, making things probably worse than they are...

Awesome, another HD2 screen not working topic. We was seriously running low on these, Its not as if there wasn't enough or answer wasnt available already a million times over or we would have been in real trouble.
