Anyone here has this before?
When the system boot, after the today screen appear, and load up a few plugins, the whole phone stopped working, but the screen will dim after specific time, and the power button will not light up the screen, so all you could do is reset the phone again, but after the reset, after today screen ,after load up a few plugins......... the phone enters a loop......All I could do is HARD RESET.
Firstly, I suspect the additional plugin I install, but after querying on the web, no such report has been found, yet the plugin is a very popular one, so maybe this problem is only happens on my phone ?
Probably conflicting software. I had the same thing happening with a software keyboard (don't remember the name). Had to hardreset.

hi,
i recently wanted to simply restart my qtek s200 (g3), it stops at the blue windows mobile boot screen and just hangs and does nothing (i've waited for hours).
I am not using any mods, simply the original rom/software. The only thing extra installed is 3rd party software and the home screen from the new htc touch (i've have been using it for some time now, and yes, i have been able to reboot several times during that period).
I have no idea why it isn't working anymore since I have been using it in an ordinary fashion and have not installed any software lately...
What I have tried so far:
- soft reset
- removing battery, sd card, sim card
- hard reset is impossible due to the fact that my comm button no longer functions.
Any ideas how I can get this phone to boot in windows again?
If there is no "normal" way, then a hard reset would also work for me as the phone contains no important data.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks!

Since no hard reset is available... try removing the battery for the whole night.
If you do manage to get to windows then watch out for the startup folder, you're probably overloading the memory at startup.(htc home and psxut eat a lot at startup and windows as well)
i have removed the battery, sim and sd, and just left it there the whole night, but it still won't go further than the windows boot screen...
any suggestions ?
is is possible to do a hard reset by connecting it to usb and enter the bootloader somehow ? if yes, how ?
thanks!
hi,
have you tryed entering bootloader by the normal process?
"Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camera + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and keep pressing camera button till appear the Boot Loader.)"
regards
yes, I can get into the bootloader, I can then also connect with USB with a notification at the bottom of the screen saying it's connected. However, I have no idea what to do afterwards ...

Okay then there is still hope.. When you have connected the device run an opdate tool like the NVID WM5 Rom.. that should work as a hard reset..
are there any working links available for this ? rapidshare seems to have disabled this...
thanks!

As long as you are able to enter bootloader then you can flash it with any old prophet rom. I had the same issue after installing WM6 rom. I used a Spanish rom on wiki to bring it back and then installed WM6 VII touch. So far it has worked well for a week.
HTC 6tab Home screen killed my 818pro!!!!!!
Here is what happened a few days back. My 818pro (aka prophet) suddenly heat up while not in use 3 days ago. I thought it was caused by the hot weather in my country (I was driving with aircond in full blast). The heating up eventually go away. Then 2 day later, after I put down a call, my phone just frozen / hung. Hence, I do a soft reset & guess what It never recovered & stop at the black screen with the dopod logo while restarting. Some service centre I visited told me that the main memory chip need replacement & reflash!!! I can't even see the window screen. I have use the HTC 6tab for 2 months & I am very sure it's the culprit here. Hopefully you are not having the same problem like me
Try plug in the ac charger before u do soft reset. My phone need it in order to restart after soft reset (after I started using the HTC 6tab Home Screen).
That is before my phone die yesterday
After having installed the latest wm6 from the update. followed by hard rest I got to screen alignment and it seems to keep asking align screen which I have done over 20 times and I can not get out of it even with new hard set.
Any sugestings or help please.
I forgot to mention the center point is some times not responding.
Thank you
I had the same problem, but found that if you can remove the HTC Album then you can align like normal.
I have the same problem on a wizard.
After a while I realized that there must be something wrong with the hardware.
Whenever I turn the screen on, it opens the Message pane, or whatever is configures on the right top hard button. Then if I turn it off and on, it moves to Outlook . Next time to MMS, etc.
Then, when I press the center button, it opens the align screen, but after I finish aligning, it works fine for a while.
I tried Flashing it many times, with differnt rooms, even the offial ones, and it didn't solve the problem. I also tried dismounting it all, talking all the parts apart and nothing.
Anyboday has any clue about this?
make an oem that auto aligns the screen in personal oemizer. See if that works. So that on the initial boot from hard reset it skips that screen.
I did it on mine and it worked fine but I also never had a problem aligning the screen with the kitchen either.
I have a Sprint Touch [Vogue]. It has served me very well up until recently.
One day, I was using my phone normally when the battery died. No big deal right?
Well, I charge my phone and reboot it. For some reason, Windows is EXTREMELY slow and unresponsive. I figure that something vital had been corrupted by the battery's death, and that it was nothing that a hard reset couldn't fix.
I performed a hard reset.
I let the utilities for the first boot run to customize the phone. Everything seemed pretty much normal. I configured my settings, re-added my contacts, etc. Then I turned the screen off [with the power button].
I turn it back on later to do something. I touch the screen. It immediately and accurately detects the touch's location, but it continues detecting a touch. For 20-30 seconds, after the input has stopped.
It was strange, so I soft reset the device. It booted, with the same problem. So I performed another hard reset. I did some configuration [the response acting normal at this point], and then turned the screen off. Turning it back on brought the same problem back.
This problem still exists on my phone, even after numerous hard resets and even ROM flashes.
A better description of the problem: When the device is first turned back on [meaning brought out of standby], its touch response is messed up. It will immediately and accurately detect any touch input, but it will continue to detect the input for up to 30 seconds AFTER it has been released, as if you were holding it the whole time.
WHY is this???? My phone is almost unusable because of this!!!! I can still place/ receive calls, using the navigation buttons and the red and green buttons. But the touch response is screwed!
Can someone please shed some light on this problem I'm having?
Phone specs: Windows Mobile 6.1, HTC / Sprint customized. Minimal third party software is currently installed.
[I've already determined that third party software is not the problem, because i haven't installed any!]
Possible solution
Hi,
today I experienced something similar to your description - no touch response when I tried to pickup a call. The strange thing is that last night everything was working and no settings were modified nor programs were added/removed. The screen suddenly 'died'. At the moment I am using it through a program MyMobiler which brings the mobile display to the PC and I can use the mouse to control the phone (it is like VNC for the phone screen, the phone is connected with ActiveSync).
This is temporary solution untill I finish my backups of files, programs, settings. I didnot performed hard reset yet, hope this will solve my problem
In the following link there is a 'magical' solution - to remove the screen protector:
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1112981/LCD+or+Touch+screen+not+working
P.S. I had removed the screen protector and voilá - the screen is now touch responsive. The root cause of the problem obviously is the dust between the screen and the protector which results in constant screen pressing - and as a result no accepting my finger presses.
I hope this will work for you and others with similar problem.
I had a similar experience with an old Vogue.....In my case, there was no battery death precursor, but it just started acting up. Not too long thereafter, I noticed the screen/digitizer was forming what looked like an air bubble between the digitizer and the LCD on one place of the screen. The screen was becoming defective. I eventually had to buy another Vogue from a friend who didn't have a clue of the 6900's potential, and didn't want his anymore, so I got it cheap.
Sounds like your screen/digitizer may be on it's last leg.
Ok here is the low down.
I have been able to disable the alignment screen and setup screen on my PPT8800 (which is using WM2003).
I also was able to copy the "alignment" settings from the registry and copied them into the application folder and platform folder.
When I do a cold boot though, the alignment settings, don't go into effect. The only way I get the screen to respond properly to is to perform a soft boot. I even checked the registry after the coldboot (through my remote program) and the settings showed up, but the screen would not respond to the settings.
Also, one time I did a cold boot, pressed function 6 and brought up the alignment screen. But because my battery was running low, the notification announcement about the battery life, closed the alignment screen. After the screen closed (and I didn't even perform the alignment) the reg settings went into effect.
Any suggestions? I was thinking of trying to write a script that says: perform a soft boot after cold boot. But I don't know how to write that, and apply it to the device. I know how to write basic scripts and commands.
I have an HTC surround. I am having a problem sliding up the lock-screen. It takes number of attempts to slide up the screen. Sometimes it results in missing the incoming call. It appears to me there is a mechanism (an observer) which negates the touch event if the phone is in pocket while the phone is locked. In my case, even when I am sliding the lock-screen up with my finger, the observer is negating the action and the lock-screen comes back from 20% slide-up. Other than that, the touch-screen is working perfectly fine.
Q:
Is it a software or hardware issue?
Is there a workaround (something like hacking into the ROM and playing with the drag sensitivity)?
Should I dump it and consider myself "done with the WP7"?
P.S.
1. I got this unlocked ATT phone from US and now using it in middle-east.
2. (Not sure but) I have heard that ATT only return the phones with monthly contract.
3. The problem started after 12 days of first use.
4. I tried hard and soft reset, with/without nodo and latest updates. But it’s still the same.
It sounds most likely like it is just an inconsistent/bad touch panel on the hardware. You could attempt to replace it yourself by purchasing another one on eBay, but I doubt that any software fix would be able to fix this behaviour. I have a Samsung Focus WP7 and this never happens, the only time the lock screen comes back down is if you lift your finger before getting to the top. So my best guess is that the touch screen just cuts out before you can get the phone unlocked. Sorry....
I have the same issue. Does anyone have a solution, please!!. I'm in another country, so I can't return it. Have to fix it!
same issue here.
Do you have anyone in the US that you could send it back through? You might also try contacting HTC directly. I believe the phone has a 1 yr warranty on it. At least that's what Asurion told me when they sent me one as a replacement for my old Tilt 2.
My Phone have same problem, i install NO-DO next install PreMango but not helped.
I have no such issue with my sourrond, with mango 7720 and speech for phone accessibility turn on you only have to slide less than a inch to unlock screen...
A possible answer
After some researching i found this in one of the forums of HTC
Display Not Working on the HTC Surround
Black/Blank Screen
Verify that the battery is properly installed in the device.
Attempt to power the device on by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds.
If the device won’t power on (also indicated by no LED’s) attempt to charge the device. If there is no response from the device when attached to a charger and power source, treat the issue as a Power/charging issue.
If the device will or is powered on:
Verify that the device is not in hibernate mode by pressing the Power Button once.
Once you have verified that the device is not in hibernate mode, attempt to navigate the device by using the Hardware buttons.
If the display is still black/blank, Soft Reset the device by powering it off and removing the battery for 10 seconds and then reinsert and Power the device back on.
If the screen is still black/blank after the Soft Reset, you will need to perform a Hard Reset.
The hard reset will remove all of the customers’ data and settings and restore the device back to the state that it was in out of the box. Once the Hard Reset is done, the customers’ settings and data CANNOT be recovered. If possible, have the customer back up their data before proceeding with the Hard Reset.
Once the Hard Reset is complete, retest the device.
If the screen is still black/blank, the device will need to be replaced/repaired.
Screen has lines
Is the customer using a custom picture or image as their wallpaper?
Return the Wallpaper settings to one of the defaults on the device by going to Start>All Applications Arrow>Settings>Lock & Wallpaper>Change wallpaper
Is the issue seen when using the default wallpaper on the device?
If so, Soft Reset the device.
If not, advise the customer that the issue is with their custom wallpaper selection and recommend that they discontinue use of it.
Does the issue remain after completing the Soft Reset?
If so, rule out recent 3rd party applications that might have affected it, by removing them
Start>All Applications Arrow>Touch and Hold on an application to be removed and select Uninstall from the Pop-up menu.
Note: Not all applications can be uninstalled from the device.
Once all recent applications have been removed, power cycle the device and retest.
Is the issue seen after removing recent 3rd party applications and performing the Soft Reset?
If so, perform a Hard Reset.
The hard reset will remove all of the customers’ data and settings and restore the device back to the state that it was in out of the box. Once the Hard Reset is done, the customers’ settings and data CANNOT be recovered. If possible, have the customer back up their data before proceeding with the Hard Reset.
Once the Hard Reset and retest the device.
If the issue remains, the device will need to be replaced/repaired.
Unresponsive Touch Screen
Note: The device comes with a Capacitive Touch screen which will not respond to light touches from anything other than the flesh of the finger. Users trying to use their fingernails or any other object should be advised that they need to use the flesh of their fingers (firmly) to navigate the Touch Screen.
Verify that the issue is with the Touch Screen and not the device freezing by attempting to navigate the device using the hardware keys.
If you can navigate the device using the Hardware buttons, continue.
If you cannot navigate the device using the Hardware buttons, this issue needs to be worked using the troubleshooting flow for Device Freeze.
Check the device for a static cling screen protector, if present, remove and retest.
If the issue remains, Soft Reset the device.
Check the device for a carrying case with a magnetic closure; some magnets can interfere with the Touch Screen responsiveness.
If using one of these cases, have the user remove the device from the case and retest.
Ensure that the Charger/Data Cable is the one intended for the device by HTC.
Use of non OEM chargers/data cables can cause your screen to become unresponsive (due to the power being allocated to charging the task, and not the screen).
HTC can only guarantee items such as chargers that have been made, made for and certified by HTC. Our chargers have been tested and passed strenuous quality and safety regulations, and it is recommended you only use HTC chargers with your phone. You must be very careful when using electrical appliances; using products that have not been tested properly or that have not been tested at all could cause your phone to malfunction, or even in extreme cases, could injure you.
If the issue is not resolved by the previous steps, move forward with the Hard Reset.
The hard reset will remove all of the customers’ data and settings and restore the device back to the state that it was in out of the box. Once the Hard Reset is done, the customers’ settings and data CANNOT be recovered. If possible, have the customer back up their data before proceeding with the Hard Reset.
Once the Hard Reset and Customization process have completed, retest the device.
If the issue remains, the device will need to be replaced/repaired.
Hope someone can give us a better answer, but this is the best at the moment
UPDATE:
People if you want to fix your Phone just put this on the serch engine of XDA Developers "To solve the problem "Screen unresponsive" or "Frozen screen" by yourself", without the brackets.
The post is from "maybeture", and he say is working, if you read the replies, many people said it work

Hi JesusOdin
I have the same issue but my question is
And all is right now?
I you have luck please tell me
Thank You
I've had similar issue with the lock screen at times. The problem is more persistant when the phone is in the pants pocket during hot weather or I am under heavy exersion. I think it may be related to the humidity. I have refrained from storing the phone in this pocket and rarely have any issue.
The phone is not weather resistant, an Otterbox might help but would be rather bulky.
was there ever a solution to this lock screen problem?
i heard it was something to do with the drivers...changing from v69 (at&t) to v63(t-mobile)
anyone know how to do this?
Well...
Tried to replace the digitizer and ended up cuting the ribbon cable of the display. I bought the screen and digitizer. Replacing the parts on this cel is not for the weak of heart.
The cel did work without problems afterwards.
I have a surround and lately its misbehaving.
The screen goes off within a second or two if I do not continue touching it. Sometimes it doesn't even stay for a second and goes off immediately. When the screen goes off, I notice the red battery light blinking. Sometimes its just in a reboot boot loop. If i am successful and able to reach videos and start a video, then the video plays fine.
Until the video is playing, the screen doesn't go off. I have tried a hard reset but it didn't help. I am on mango.
What might be the problem?
