Definately sounds like a defective unit. Hopefully you won't be without it for too long.

Other HTC devices have suffered from this problem, check out Modaco - numerous threads on the subject, here's one for a start but search if you want more.

Broken Vibrate?

I got my blackstone yesterday. Excitedly opened it up, fiddled with it a while, and flashed a new rom. It was a while before i realised that the phone woudlnt vibrate. Im pretty sure its a hardware fault, but just wanted to check here to make sure I havent missed something.
The phone wont vibrate, even when being called / txted with vibrate mode on. I also understand the hardware buttons are sposed to have some kind of haptic feedback or minivibrate, but this doesent work either.
I searched through all the settings, and couldnt find any magical turn on vibrate feature buttton. Vibrate notification is definately turned on, and so is the vibrate profile. I inittialy installed Panoshas Black Pearl rom. I tried a hard reset, and then also flashed the Dutty rom, and finally the original rom to see if it that worked.
Can anyone point out an obvious mistake ive made? Or am I gonna have to send my lovely blackstone back?
Thnx in advance.

Hmmm...you've already tried flashing a new rom and if you still have the same problem, send it in. It's still spanking new, shouldn't be a problem getting it rectified....or better yet ....replaced!

Was it vibrating when you recieve it, on it's original ROM ?

I only noticed that it wasnt after I flashed the rom, so altho im fairly certain i dont remember it ever vibrating, i cant be absolutely certain.

thnx for your response, i think ill probably do that.
its pretty annoying to have to send it back already lol, but its worth it to have a working vibrate.

A Second Opinion
Yep, I got my Blackstone a week ago today and it vibrated just fine out the box. I have not flashed any new ROMs, but I have installed plenty of programs including .net 3.5 and mobilmagic button stuff and hd tweak, installed and uninstalled advanced config and a few keyboards, the list goes on. Long story short, my vibrate doesn't work either! I think this is due to my tampering with it though, I really do. Also, I saw another post where someone had the same problem, he ended up getting his to work after playing with .net 3.5, hard resetting more than once and soft resetting too. So try that, let me know what you find out! I plan to hard reset and flash new ROMs soon, so I figured maybe these problems would go away then. Oh and, anybody else have a problem where their end key doesn't end the call, ? This is such a tinkerer's toy, lol!

Probably a good warning about flashing ROMs! Did you backup your original ROM? I think you will need to restore your original ROM before you send it back for "repair". (Otherwise it is likely you will be charged for any work/replacement - justifiably!)
Before you despair, what ROM did you flash it with? Have you contacted the developer about it? It may be a setting in a tweak you don't know you've installed. Have you tried playing Tweeter (the vibration feedback when the ball collides with a wall will indicate a working/non-working vibrator).
Rather than just offer bad news to you and tell you it's your own fault, here is a helpful tut on How to backup ROM, albeit a little late maybe. It may not be all doom and gloom - some kind soul may be able to offer you their backup ROM (particular to your mobile provider) which you can use to restore it to factory default before testing for the vibrate and/or sending it back for a fix. Who is your provider and what original ROM do you need?

thanks for the tip. i fiddled with .net framework 3.5 and more hard resets, and altho i have installed hdtweak and advconfig a couple times, ive done multiple clean flashes without them and it still dont work. in fact - as i said above, im 90% sure it never did work, so im convinced its a hardware fault.
i hope yours wroks after a rom flash, but i think mine is gonna have to go back...

yeah - i definately played tweeter even before flashing any roms, and there was no vibrate - so i guess that proves it really is the hardware.
i bought my phone from mobilephonesdirect, but have my rom backed up, so should be ok.
ta for the offer tho.

Mine was the opposite, it wouldn't stop vibrating, even when switched off.
You had to take the battery out to get it to stop.

You could try and use TouchResponse. That program gives a vibration response with every touch on the screen. If not, indeed send it in.

hey, I have the same problem and hard resetting and all that didn't help. Where did you buy yours, think they came from the same place? Are you sending back to HTC, how quickly did they say they could fix it and send it back?
Thanks

got mine from
mobilephonesdirect.co.uk
havent been able to get throught them on the phone yet.
ill keep you updated if you want.

I appreciate that
yes I would love for you to keep me updated, I purchased mine through ebay from addictedtophones.com, which is out of California. They seemed like nice people but they sure aren't wanting to help my broken vibrate after only 8 days! That is just sad my friend. I have also contacted UK and US support and HTC global repair service. They have indicated that they are looking in to it. Apparently the US section may not have the resources to work on the device. I requested that they replace the phone, if they couldn't work on it ASAP, the person seemed to agree and put the request forward. I hope that helps your situation. I spent too much for a broken stone!

updated
I received my new replacement Touch HD in the mail a little bit ago, it vibrates. It must have been a hardware issue best I can tell. I just about had to send it off to HTC, but I finally got the retailer to replace it. It actually took a lot of crap just to get HTC USA GLOBAL repair center to want to accept the idea but, I called UK HTC and they called HQ in Taiwan or somewhere and got something done. So if you need some help, Ive got a few contacts that can help, anyone can just let me know. I hope this doesn't become a widespread infection.
blacksage

I'd say it's probably a hardware issue. My first HD also didn't vibrate, and had to exchange for a new one. Probably some issues with one of the batches.

Had the same problem...now we're at least two with this prob. Still waiting for the replacement...

Trackball failure!

My trackball has stopped working when I try to navigate left, tried hard resets etc, looks like hardware problem.
Now I bought this phone from ebay, it is an orange one which was an unwanted upgrade. Do you think I will be able to return it to Orange or go direct to HTC, or will I be screwed!?

Your best bet is probably to ask the original seller to RMA on your behalf.
Regards,
Dave

Will try that, hopefully the seller can do it but get it delivered to my address instead. Might try my luck in the Orange shop first

Mine just gone too. Up, down and right are fine, it just won't do left...

The trackball seems so delicate, I figured this would only be a matter of time.

Warrenty should be with HTC, give their customer support a try, they will probably get you to send the phone to them and have it repaired.

HTC have agreed to a repair but I have got to send it to them so I am going to push the Orange route a bit harder first as I'd rather just have it replaced than having to wait a week or two to get it back especially as I don't have a spare handset!

Mine did the same - push the trackerdown down and left (hard). all is working again!

I can get it to scroll to the left by pushing really hard on it but it doesn't fix it unfortunately!

The trackball is now working again, but does feel a little loose. I just turned the phone on and off to fix a synching issue and suddenly noticed that I could go left...
What's happening!? Is it a software issue or a hardware issue?

I updated my handset to new software release on Friday PM and started noticing the issue saturday morning so I did wonder if it was software but that said I can make it work when I push it really hard so I don't think so...
Holding off on sending it for repair at the moment but guess will have to in the end!

someone on youtube have the same problem

I also got the same problem today. It didn't work left, and you can feel that the 'resistance' from the trackball is not the same when scrolling left, so my guess is hardware problem.
BUT, when pressing the trackball hard down and then scrolling left at the same time, it seemed to push something into place again...and it now works fine!! (for now )
Thanks for the tip!

Mine wouldn't work for about 3 weeks, pressing hard didn't help then all of a sudden it was alright again and has been for a month or so!

mine stopped too but i find it funny how when i flashed a new rom (mocado) it now works fine . i am not sure it is a software or hardware fault they are quite delecate so maybe it had some dirt in the ball socket and during the process of flashing it the dirt came out.

HD2 keeps resetting itself

Hello
After My Hd2 resets itself it gets stuck at the "stick together" screen and freezes doesn't show the text which rom its running and radio its running. I have to take out the battery for about 10 seconds put it back in and it works. After a while it does the same thing and reset itself. I did a hard reset the problem is still there. Any help would be appropriated

sounds like you flashed a custom rom and didnt match the radio.
oh wait, this is tmous section, all the radios work with all the roms. Hmm, did you task 29 and not flash yet? that would give grey screen with no writing.

All radio's DO NOT work with TMoUS. If a 1024 LEO get's installed with a .51 radio then it will brick it.
But it does sound like a bad custom ROM install if it goes into a cyclic boot. There is a few files that will cause this, but I suggest to re-download the ROM and install again.

Yeah, i already re-downloaded the roms went to kumars then back to energy problem is still there. =(

yea sorry I worded that sloppily. what I meant was that any tmous rom would boot regardless of the radio, assuming the radio was a tmous.(us with regular leos get that grey screen with no rom info when we flash a tmous rom with our original radio, and won't boot till the radio is changed. a situation that tmous users will never come across)

cambxo, have you checked the battery connection pins? People have experienced symptoms similar to yours (resetting and never getting past the boot screen) when one or more of the little gold pins gets bent. Can't guarantee that's the issue, but it's worth a look.

You sure your battery charge pins aren't bent too? I bent some pins on my touch pro and it never worked right after that. Even though I straightened them out. Lots of resetting and freezing.

Does it feel like it's getting hot just before it resets itself? The device will get fairly warm normally, but it's possible that you're having overheating issues, just based on the fact you've connected the issue to periods of heavy usage...

I don't think there's a solution to this problem. I went on the t-mobile forums multiple of people are having the same problem as we are. I called t mobile last week and got a replacement. I guess that's the only solution. Try calling t mobile and getting a replacement.

[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

also all the roms were nand

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...

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.
