Hi all.
i know this sounds odd...
I have two X1's... and both of them have slight dents in the screen.
When the phone display is on.. they cannot be seen.. but if unlit (screen off.. or powered off) and you hold it in the light... you can see distortions in the reflection of light. it thus shows.. a 'dent' in the screen...
I just wanted to know if any of you have the same issue?
thanks all....
I love X1's that don't keep Bluetooth ON!!!!!!!
Is it a screen protector? Could you take a photo?

Not here, I even took the screen protector off to double check.
Seems a bit odd that you've got two the same.
the touch screen on X1 is mad up of several thin layers, its possible that the thing outter layer is dented as there is a small gap between in and the next layer which registers the actual "touch"
Alot of phones with resistive panels seem to "dent" inward toward the center. Not sure why.
It is hard to show on a pic.. but it definatly exists... and on both of them
I will have a go.... one is more than the other...
I ordered 2.. and both are showing dents.
I had this issue once on a TYTN 2... and it was applying screen protectors..and removing.. appplying and removing.. that eventually pulled the screen straight...
but after lashing out over a grand on 2 phones... i can't be doing with this..
along with the issue with bluetooth turning off... i'm returning them
one litterally never made it out the box. other i used for a few days.. till the bluetooth issue.
back to TYTN II... and await a Touch HD.

Bluetooth turns off on its own? Sounds like maybe a power saving feature. Also, if you live in the USA don't get your hopes up for a Touch HD..afaik it will only work with GSM/EDGE/GPRS, doesn't have any 3G bands that work in the USA.
The bluetooth problem is a real issue.. and Sony Erricsson are developing a fix.
It really does just turn off for no reason.
As for the touch HD... I'm in the UK.. and here.. there is more 3g handsets flying round than are not.
I ordered one .. so.. now i have 2 x1's and a touch Hd tomorrow...
and by monday.. i'll know what is staying.. and what is going.
The Touch Hd.. has answers to give....and the X1;s,... when the Bluetooth issue is fixed by SE... then i will rethink.

My XDA Mini has a screen issue.
Only part for the screen (the middle) has stopped responding to the touch pad.
How do I fix this, has anyone else had it?
Cheers
Max
My Wizard (O2 XDA Mini S) has just developed this problem. The touch screen does not respond to touches around the middle of the screen. The outside edges of the screen work fine however.
I've had it for about 4 years now though, so I suppose its lasted well really. It's a G4 and I installed a WM6.1 ROM on it about 6 months ago (which is awesome btw, makes the phone sooo much better / faster!) but I don't think this is related to the problem.
Any known fix for this? I think it's a hardware issue since I also have the problem where upon opening/closing the keyboard, the screen goes white with multicoloured vertical lines and the phone emits a high pitched noise (have to put phone into standby then wake it up again to resolve). This, whilst annoying, I can live with, but not now the middle of the screen no longer responds to touches
I read somewhere its to do with the ribbon cable that connects the screen and main board, its gets trapped or worn over time as the keyboard is slid in and out. So I guess the touch problem is a more severe symptom of this? Can it be fixed?
Also a point of interest is that I keep the phone in the case a lot of the time. Could the magnets have possibly affected the screen? Anyone else with this problem keep the phone in its case a lot?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
Hi,
Recently ive repaired a HTC Universal, put it back together as best as i could.
Now when i do touch the screen with a stylus, the screen has funny colours behind it. It kind of like when you touch/ prod your Computer LCD. It only happens when theres pressure on the screen so its not really a huge problem. The touch screen is definately there cause when i tap the screen it responds (e.g i tap start and the menu pops down).
If its normal then i can take it, but if its not im complaining to the ebay seller.
This doesent happen when i put any form of pressure on my HTC magician LCD, so im curious.
Let me know what happens with your universal
Cheers,
Whitemoo.
This is not normal behaviour of any touchscreen device!!
hmmm... well i just looked at the broken lcd screen, and even though the LCD itself is shattered, the touch screen is in perfect nick.
I put pressure on the touch screen and couldnt see any of the symptoms i saw on my current LCD
You guys recon i should swap the touch screen over? either way im complaining to the sellers, DODGY.
whitemoo.
from my knowledge, im pretty sure its normal. it happens sometimes on my 9000 so yeahh....
Hello there,
I bought my Tattoo in January this year. It went to the service centre once already, because the touch screen did not work anymore. It came back with a new one.
Today it got broken again. The symptoms; it was getting more and more difficult to get a long press, for instance to move an icon or remove a widget from the desktop. After it stopped working, I could see a dot matrix on the screen, and when the screen is off, it looks like there is some oil, diffracting the light, a bit like a rainbow.
Am I the only unlucky Tattoo owner with this kind of recursive issue? Is the life span of a Tattoo digitizer only 4 months?
What about capacitive screens - are they less fragile?
Is there any particular Android phone with a good / strong build and quality reputation?
Cheers,
JPascal.
I have similar problems with the screen. It's hardly usable. I get those rainbow-like spots on the screen, there is a big white mark at the top of the screen that fortunately I can see through when screen is on. Also the screen sometimes thinks I've pressed in places where I haven't, so it's impossible to use until I reboot. There are many other problems, and the only reason why I don't send it back to get fixed is that they keep it for weeks, and I need it.
I live in Taiwan, Taipei, so HTC support / service is not bad here. They can come and pick my cellphone at my office, and I can hope to get it back 3 days after.
I'll ask them if it's a common problem, will update this thread later.

I had same problems with digitizer.. But I fixed it :] This can happen when the screen is pressed for a longtime in pocket or the phone is dropped. But I fixed it :]
I turned the phone off, removed mask and tried to lift up digitizer little bit on side where was rainbow-like spots. When they gone, I put digitizer down and press on the side that I lifted up. Now everithing works like a charm
Yeh I have one of the rainbow spots..too i wanna know how can it be removed....cause i cant get rid of it.
that oil spot or Newton ring can be easily fixed by removing top mask and inserting sharp object between LCD and digitizer couple millimeters and then pull the digitizer up so it detaches LCD and newton ring disapears, then while you removing sharp object, used to pull digitizer up, press with finger from center outwards to pump out air and place it back firmly .. I`ve successfully fixed two HTC tattoo`s and one HTC HD display with that technique ....

The problem is that the screen will stay off during calls. That means I can't hang up...
The only way to get the screen on is bright light against the sensor.
Is there any way to calibrate the sensor?
I don't think so. But as you say, it's a proximity sensor, so it should measure a distance and not need light to wake the screen. And as far as I know, the light sensor isn't used in calls.
But you could use the key under the screen to hang up
Yes, that's pretty weird actually, but that's how it is...
But no, I can't hang up since there are no hard buttons. Only the touch-sensetive ones, and they don't work when the phone thinks it's at someones ear.
Screen protector and proximity sensor
I have installed on my HD Mini a very good quality screen protector. During phone call my screen became black like my ear is on the phone, but my phone is on the desk ! If I remove the screen protector the proximity sensor come back to work correctly. Any idea how to set-up or adjust proximity sensor sensitivity ?
Me too!
I have this problem too!
Your phones have a screen which is made of really good strong glass. Using a screen protector is useless. I have had a Hero (also a capacitive touchscreen phone) for 6 months and, while I do keep it in a holster, I have rubbed it on my shirt, dropped it and used my finger on it all day long. It still is spotless. Stop wasting money on protectors and just use the phone. And having a protector is bound to screw up the proximity sensor.
As far as it not recognizing that the phone is not against your ear.... that is a matter for the service department to solve since it seems like a hardware fault.
Really strange! I've a screen protector but don't have this problem... the sensor works fine!!!

It's made out of plastic, really easy to make scratch. And it's very fingerprint attractive. So glossy filter is really good solution.

Same problem, proximity sensor work really weird.
Hi guys, I have the same problem on my HTC HD Mini, when you make a call the screen goes black and will not allow to end call. I have to take battery out to make it work again. I was looking at the registry tweaks for HTC HD2 (leo) and am wondering if those tweaks will work on my mini.
Please, if anyone has a solution, put it on here, have even tried replacing the glass to resolve but not working still.
Same problem. I tried an experiment... when i'm in a light room, works. when i'm in a dark room doesn't work. Really stupid... without light doesn't work!!
If you would, try to put the mini under light when is in calling...
In fact, that's quite normal. If you're calling in a dark room, how do you expect that your phone can "see" the difference between the darkness of your ears and the darkness of the room?
Are you using a screen protector?
I used to have the same issue. But once I remove the screen protector the screen turns back on straight after a phone call.
I believe that the proximity sensor is confused and is affected by having an object pasted over it.
so if someone could experiment with just removing he corner of the screen protector to avoid the sensor, you will not have a issue.
I am using the mini with a screen protector and it has been fine in my pocket...but I am not saying you should try!
My 2 cents!

its made of carbonized whatever mixture just like any other capacitive screen and no theres no way to scratch that thing, iam wearing it in a pocket together with my keys since i bought it and theres no single scratch there, yet the fingerprint thing is very annoying indeed but thats because the material of the screen is very very close to glass.

The lcd and digitiser have been replaced and there is no screen protector on the device. I purchased the lcd and digitiser as a complete unit so as not to have any issues.
The seller reassures me that the product was brand new and had been fully tested. I no longer have the old pieces to test against but this problem seems quite common from the threads on here and gsm forum.
Any solutions or ideas for resolution greatly appreciated, near to pulling all my hair out!!!!!!!!
I have screen protector and I do not have any problem with sensor. Everything works great..

Yes I know... I meant that only works in bright light conditions, such as directly under a lamp or sunlight. in a room or just the shade does not work. So it's "only"a matter of adjusting the sensitivity of the light sensor. I do not even understand how it can be made this "proximity sensor", all I know is that it works with light. Rather, there is a program like the shake'n wake can use?
I have this annoying problem, too.
But I have to say: I have NO screen protectror, and: the divece was repaired by arvato-Services after a broken display. And I didn't have this problem before!
Sometimes i seems to help to puff serveral times into the loudspeeker, so that the screen returns and I'm able tu hang up the call. But sometimes it doesn't works, and if I had spoken to a mailbox (and the other end didn't hang up, so that i MUST hang up) the last solution was to remove the battery.
If there is a way to disable the sensor (i.e. in the registry)?
kind regards
Ye same thing, Mine will only bring the screen back during a call if it is under a very bright light.
Any ideas yet?
Why do i get black screen when calling or being called??
because of the sensors on the top left of your phone. They detect when your phone is close to something (i.e your ear) and turn off your screen, which is a good thing otherwise you (your ear) would be pressing lots of keys without wanting it.
the problem is I get a black screen and i cant get out of it even if the call ends unless if someone calls me back and I am using android 2.2 on my HD2 .
with wm6.5 there is no problem can you please help with that ??
thanks
have you got a case on the phone thats blocking the top left sensors on the phone???
Have you got a screen protector fitted,
Especially if its the genuine HTC HD2 screen protector (SP P300) with the 2 little holes around the sensors @ the top of phone
After suffering from the same fate just recently & thought initially it was a problem with the new Android ROM i was using,
I was surprised in my case that the screen protector was the culprit, removed screen protector, Absolutely fine now.
I have a screen protector but when I use win 5.6 there no problem with that, the problem start with android 2.2 I used many roms but nothing , I really love to use android its very frustrating
Make a test call by lifting screen protector in the area of the sensors OR by removing screen protector
I think it work for me,I will try it for few hours and post the results.
thank you very
Glad to hear I may of helped you,
Removing my screen protector solved my problem which was identical to yours, My phone has now been fine for several days.
Out of curiosity was you using the genuine HTC HD2 screen protector (SP P300)
I am now without a screen protector for now, But I like to protect the screen from scratches etc
I have recently purchased a Vikuiti DQC160 screen protector which does not have the 2 holes around the sensors
Once I receive it & fit it I will let you know if my phone suffers from the "BSOD" (black screen of death)
Maybe the Vikuiti DQC160 will be a better alternative screen protector for us HTC HD2 Android users.
thank you again for your help...
I did cut a littel piece of my screen protector where is the sensor located.and I think it work fine,sometimes it goes black but not like before I mean its better now.I searched about the protector that you bought but its expensive here in America,I will just stick with mine... by the way where did u found ur build??? it works fine for you ??
thank you
