[Q]Elf freezes with official & cooked ROM?

Hello!I got a HTC elf for about 2 months and i got some problems with him for about some time it freezes from sudent without doing anything and sometimes the power goes off and doesn`t want to turn on anymore,i do not know what to do with him now.Please help me
PS: The phone is bought second-hand in case it helps but this happens only for about 2 weeks

man HTC touch elf phones are quiet delicate also (from its back side).
i believe you might have fallen it somewhere hence its back side of the phone has become loose so hence it would loosen up the battery...every tym you pressure at its back side I to had a similar enigma, i just tighten the back part and later it worked properly..

Anyone can give me some more details about this kind of problem and solution to this please maybe a tutorial with pictures?

did u drop your phone?? i used to drop my phone alot aswel and so had the problems of turning off time snd again too! probably th battery has loosen abit..try keepin a thin paper/cover over th batt/under the batt cover to make it fit tight! about the freezing problems i didnt have any..might b bcoz ur phone is old(2nd hand) - or having inner circuit problems maybe!

It felt for about 2 times but was with the housing on it and i do not think it had suffered anything but i will try tomorrow to put something on the back cover of the battery to see if it has any results.And about the problem with freezeing i disasambled the mainboard and made it with contact spray so i don`t think it does that because it isn`t make a good contact something or things like this,and the problem is that it does power on very hard after the freezing and sometimes it just goes off from sudent and do not want to power on any more.The phone is SH but when i bought it it didn`t had any of this problems

Hello again!I have tried your ideea with putting something betwean the battery and the back cover but it steel freezes do not know what to do with it anymore!please help me solve this problem!!!(

probably the plastic piece will solve ur problems.

I allready tried this and for a moment i thought the problem was solved but after abot 3h the device was power off but after yesterday (cuz sunday i disasambled the device) i didn`t happened anymore but today the device was low battery and i do not know why cuz yesterday morning i took him from the charge..very bizzar isn`t it?:-?

Mine started to have the same problem, I have it for two years and no problems until now. I cared about it very well, so no fall-downs or scratches. I updated everything in SW I could but it doesnt solve the problem. I also replaced the battery, no effect. I think it will be electronic issue. Wish someone could help us...

Hi,
I think I had the same problem:
- the phone froze in standby (sometimes after 30min, sometimes after more than 5 hours).
- if standby is disabled it NEVER froze (but i had to charge battery one a day).
flashing was no solution (tried blue elves, onyx and tess).
i shipped it to htc-repair-center three times, but they could not repair my device (altough they tried and shipped it back to me DEFECTIVE).
Now I have a replacement Elfin which works perfectly.

So nobody has a solution for this?

Has anyone found a solution for this cuz i tried the plastic thing but nothing seems to solve the problem i disasambled the elf and put contacts spray wd40 on it and heated but nothing the phone still goes off and freezes i still use the plastic things over the processor but i think that it does this because the processor is overheated and thats why it freez and turn off and do not whant to turn on maybe someone had tested to put a piece of aluminium in stead of the plastic thing to cool the processor?

I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.

my touch shows only white screen

hay from today morning my htc touch shows a white screen and a crack on the bottom corner of the screen.i am sure that it dint fell down.
then what may be the problem?
anyone knows pls tell me...

white screen?
When you turn on your phone, there is no smart mobility.
Crack?
Is that an LCD problem?

i have the same problem with the WHITE SCREEN. bought my ELF 3450 second hand over the net. i am from the Philippines by the way and HTC units are not yet very common here and also the parts/accessories. it worked fine for about 3 months with minor problems such as Auto-Restart/Auto Power On/OFf which was solved using the "plastic on the OMAP chip method" - tnx for the forum for the info by the way and charging problems which was also solved by buying me a aftermarket charger. but recently the problem of AUTO OFF occurred again until it did not work at all. so, i tried to check the Plastic over my chip but to no avail the fone was dead. so, i decided to head to one of our local cellphone repair shops and have my OMAP heated thinking that maybe there are just contact points inside who became loose. when we tried to power on it was good for a few minutes then i noticed the screen went darker and darker and then it was all WHITE. we restarted it but it's just WHITE. tried to send messages and call it but there is no response from the fone. i'm afraid i toast it bad or may be it's just the LCD who got toasted, i am clueless.
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME WITHMY PROBLEM. CAN I GIVE LIFE BACK TO MY ELF? WHAT'S THE CHEAPEST & BEST SOLUTION TO THIS? THANX ...

Generally white screen problem are caused by defects in flex connecting the LCD to the mainboard or the connector itself. Try to disconnect and reconnect the LCD, if doesn't work - replace the LCD.

You warmed the OMAP? Interesting....

This problem sounds really complicated.
And im quite surprised of your 'warming' method.

I've had the exact same problem combined with the fact that my touch was resetting constantly. I was about a minute away from throwing it out of the window when I tried the plastic-piece-on-omap processor-technique described in one of the threads here. It solved the rebooting problem, but not the white screen issue. After a very frustrating couple of days where the screen started to blink and shake and then eventually turned to white alltogether, I lowered my brightness to the second stop from start, and since then I haven't experienced the white screen anymore. I believe it is heatrelated.
Whilst not being a full solution to the problem, at least it renders the phone usable.
Hope this helps anyone.

Heating the device very seldomly solves anything, but causes more problems that you originally started with.

iam using htc touch (p 3450) for nearly 18 months . (bought & using it in india ) my hand set fell two times in water and about 15 times fell on the floor (from shirt pocket) . still its working fine .
and iam using "opera mini " for browsing the internet . for some sites iam using "opera mobile " . when iam on opera mini , continueously for long ours , suddenly it turns white . never come to normal screen unless restarted . but it happens sometimes , may be because of memory or heating up of some H/W .

Hi hotchamo,
my htc touch elf hat a similary issue, and my father just "wringed" it gently until the white screen disappeared. You should try it carefully, since it may help and it won't harm. Just take in in both hands and turn them in the opposite direction, so that the case gets slightly twisted.
If that doesn't help you should open it and check the LCD flat cable connector...
Best regards,
scheutak

Again - flex connector problem. 'Wringing' it gently will eventually result in your LCD cracking, by all means - go for it, it will solve your white screen problem. Permanently.

Replaced the digitizer, Smartphone only boots when not in housing

Hi guys,
hopefully somebody can help me with the problem I have with my beloved HD2. I've successfully replaced the digitizer within my HD2. My problem is though, that the phone only boots when it's not in its housing. When I take the mainboard out of the phone's housing, the phone boots just like it should. But as soon as I put the mainboard back in, the phone doesn't boot, it only vibrates and then shows a black screen (with the backlight turned on).
Any ideas on this? I'm kinda desparate right now . Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

propably bad used screen without scratches! happened same.. just digitizer dont working when in housing..

HD2
HD2 the best of the best

May a bad cable connection be the reason?
Or a slack joint?

My Lg g2 have a red flashing led but not start

Hello everyone,
I'm here because i've a little problem with my d802. Few months ago, i've break my motherboard (i've shorted the capacitors with a screwdriver.. -_-). But now i've buy a new motherboard for my lg g2, she was tested and she work.
I've an idea but not sure if it's the problem : I've don't use my phone and the parts during a long time, may be the battery was drained at 100% and she die ?. anyway, have you got a solution for this problem ?
please help me
Thank you in advance, sorry for my english if it's not 100% understanding but i'm french and don't use english all the time.
Thanks for reading me
edit : the led is blinking, she not stay red.
8 times-pause-8times-pause
I've charge the phone during 5-6hours now
the motherboard have never be rooted
no water damage

May be i've fined the issue
Hello guys,
Hi guys
Today I went to the mobile repair shop to establish a diagnosis.
the guy changed the battery, the phone started , until then, I was happy !
When , just after the boot logo I could see a fabulous " white noise " on my screen .
In my head, I said " if the phone starts, is that it has a charged battery , the problem was not the battery.
Then I remembered this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62401112&postcount=13
And I say that it's just me flex cable is dead, what do you think ?
If you think it may be the case this will encourage me to order the part .
To tell a little about my life, I have been fortunate to have the free diagnosis , I did just order the parts myself : p
And voila, if anyone have a problem, that is a way for you.
