Help This NEWBIE

Hi everyone,
Am new to all this and please beare with me. Here I go.
I got a MDA on T-Mobile but I use a O2 sim.
When I got the phone a few months ago, when I write a text I could swap between text and numbers by going to 123 and it would swap. Now what happens is that some times when I try to swap between text and numbers it wont let me and it jams. So when that happens I have to do a soft start and fingers crossed it would work but sometimes it wont.
Could anyone please tell me why this is happening and what I need to do to solve this Flipping problem. It sometimes winds me up that I feel like throwing it across the room LOL.
Please Please Help Me

Try to go to T-mobile and get a replacement, it seems like you might have to Hard reset your device, but dont bother if you are still under warranty, dont forget to remove the O2 sim otherwise they gonna be angry.

It could be a software that you installed. Be sure to make a backup first or at least sync your device with outlook and do a hard reset. It takes only a few seconds to find out if the problelm is coming from the device instead of immediately sending it for replacement.

Black line in screen

So,
This is the 2nd day i got my device, i had it on my desk at work and didnt do anything with it, than i turned it on and i have this annoying black line from left to right on my screen 1cm above the middle. What a way to celebrate the new year...
Any way i could fix this ? or should i rlly send it RMA (and wait for 3/4 weeks ) ?

i dont have a clue! maybe an application that messed up the device? try using the device without any extra applications for some time and see if the problem appears again.
or try duplicating the problem. i hope its not a hardware problem!

black line across my screen too
i thought i'd post this here, i've the device for 5 months now, and just today suddenly after a soft reset a black line appears across my screen 1mm in thickness, just as roachie has described. and honest to God, i'd rather send it to HTC and get it checked than hard rest and hope it doesn't come back. any thoughts...

My guess is that their first troubleshooting techniques is to hard reset your phone anyways. If hard reset fixes it then why should they spend money out of their own pockets if it's a software problem?

just performed a hard reset, didnt work. i'm taking it to HTC no other choice.

just received my phone back. they changed the LCD MODULE.

and to mu surprise no sound comes out of the ear piece, i can only hear the person i'm calling across the speaker or headphone, so i took it back today, and was promised a new unit in a few days.....

ORANGE SPV M5000 red line on screen :(

Hello to ya all,greetings and respect
I have a ORANGE SPV M5000 for some 9 months now or so,i bought it new decoded from some other network,and i'm very very happy and satisfied with it and all the software that comes on regular basis for it
But when i bought it one thing i didn't realise at all,i saw it later home but then it was too late. For refund or anything ofc. I got used to it for all this time but anyway i would like to know what it is,would be nice if it's fixable,but i doubt that The thing is : on the screen,there is this red vertical line from top to bottom,in the left half of the screen.it's mostly visible on black backgrounds,not so much on other colors. does anyone maybe know,is the screen ****ed up,or maybe a software mess while decoding the phone ? And if so,is it in any way fixable. At least i would be at peace,knowing why that is. On it it's the original wm5,i never had guts to try upgrade to wm 6. Cuz my fiancee lives in anither country still and i use IM+ over gprs almost 24/7 to be in touch,so i can't risk to lose that lifesaving option.
Thank you all in advance !!

not sure but i guess its a problem with the screen, you should check the cables that connect the screen to the mb, maybe that fixes the problem...

Thank you for your very very fast reply. As soon as i saw it,i opened my PPC carefully and checked there the connector stuff,but with no changes,so at least i know it is not that. Thank you very much again for your quick help
First time opening,but very easy to open the PPC,not tricky at all like it was on my old SE P800,almost breaking it while opening
So i guess,maybe the screen is defected,but it was new and like that from the first day,so maybe the only thing possible is flashing the UNI ? Any ideas still from anyone ?

sorry, never had the problem, but i don't know what else could cause such a fault...

And still
And still after so much time,i have the red line
Nothing changed,only that in the meantime i flashed my UNI,which til posting this the first time i didn't do. I flashed the UNI i think 50 times since then
But still i am curious,if maybe anyone has an idea what that can be and is it fixable.

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 do now Task29 and re flash again the same problem its like the display reacting on touch but not corect... i think its something serious and i will need new Digitazer or Display or Both?!
Also Reverting Back to stock SPL and ROM do not help..
I think im for Repair Service

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.

[Q] Cant find any WiFi AP's

Hi all, I normally don't like to post questions because i feel like the answer is somewhere online, and i almost always find it. Apparently this is one of those times i can't. Bear with me as i wanna make sure i dont leave anything out.
My problem is simply that my HD2 will not find any access points when i turn on my wifi. This started happening to me with a previous HD2 i had about a month ago for no aparent reason. I had not changed or flashed anything on my phone around the time the problem happened. I figured i would ignore the problem because i had 3g anyways but then that HD2s touch screen failed so thats why i ended up sending it in for a warranty replacement.
Now i hoped that since i had a new HD2 that the problem would be gone, i mean how could it be possible that the problem would appear on a brand new phone. So i went about doing my usual. Installed 2.08.HSPL, followed by MAGLDR, followed by MIUIAndroid.com rom, same setup i had before the problem began. I made sure the first thing i did was turn on WiFi on first boot of the phone. To my suprise, No access points found. I know it is not my router as i have connected every other device im my house to my router, including other androids and windows phones. I thought maybe its a MAGLDR/Android issue. Flashed back to WinMobile 6.5 and still no acess points. Tried every radio available and still no access points.
Bottom line is im really confused how this can be with a brand new phone. Im pretty sure its a software issue but im out of ideas.
SO please if anyone can help. Please :'-(.

Just found out this morning that it can find my access point, but only if i literally lay it on top of my router. if i go more than maybe a foot away from it then nothing.

It sounds like a hardware issue. I read about these things having issues with a connection to the antennae that can be solved by taking apart the phone and cleaning some leads.

Sounds strange that such a new phone would have a hardware issue already. at this point though, im willing to try anything. how/where exactly would i clean/find these leads?

Check this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834199 and this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190180, but be aware that opening your phone might void your waranty. Good luck

is that the only rom you have flashed? and was it nand, or sd etc...??
make sure because it could be a simple error in software as well..
something you can try and report back before opening up the phone

I first got the problem while it was still stock. then i flashed miuiandroid.com's rom with MAGLDR and still. then i went to tytungs ICS Beta4 roms and still. now im back to the miuiandroid rom. so it doesnt seem to be a rom issue.

also all the roms were nand

Hi my Friend,
your black Wifi Coaxial-Cable inside your HD2 is unpluged and not correct Connected. I had this three times at three different EU-HD2 Devices, too ( the Distance for a working WIFI Signal was 1 Feet. Normal, without Antenna ;-)). Regular the Connector at the PCM at the upper Corner fall of...
If you Still have Warrenty you have to bring this Phone to a Service. If not, you have to fix this little Problem by yourself ( you need 2 Minutes to do that ). Be Carefully when you Bring the whole HD2 inside your Backcover. You have to Tape the Vol-Rocker with a little Sticky-Tape. So this Plastic can´t fall off during the reassembling and is not to Deep to kill the Vol. Buttons...
The Opening is easy. You need only a Guitar-Plectron and t Torx-Screwdriver. Here you find Pictures:

Where the RED ARROW is, you see One Wifi-Connector and i bet a Sex-Pack good German Beer, this one is your Problem. Put this Connector Back and everything works fine...

Thanks so much to you and everyone who helped me out. Im going to see how much longer my warranty is because the only reason i would really send it back is if the touch screen fails AGAIN (happened twice already) but that wont happen for at least a year. So if warranty is gonna expire before then ill fix myself. again thank you to everyone.
