Elf turns off when you turn the screen off. Any thoughts before I take back my Elf?

As the title says, I have an Elf & when you press the power button (which is meant to turn the screen on and off) it shuts the device off instantly.
I first tried doing a hard reset
Then I tried another rom, to see if it was to do with the OS
& then I tried two other roms.
Ive still got the same problem.
Thinking of taking it back to the place I got it.
Anyone got any thoughts on any solution before I take it back?
Im thinking its a hardware problem that I cant really solve.

which spl are you using? I had a similar prob when i upgraded my rom to 6.1, but aftr using 3.07 spl, problems were gone..

I was using 3.07, but it doesnt matter now.
I took it back to the shop (with all accessories etc) and they replaced it for me. I feel bad about hastling them.
I took them an Elf, but apparently they have given me a Elfin, but on their system, they both just come up as p3450
But it works! thats the main thing.
and its gold and shiny.

Maybe somebody know how to solve this problem without turn elf back to the shop?)
I have same problem but haven't a chance to turn it back) 3.07 spl also

I had exactly this problem before I knew I have an Elfin.
I flashed Elf Roms on my Elfin, that caused the problem.
It boots regularly, but it will do a soft reset every X
minutes. Then I flashed an Elfin Rom and everything
works fine ^^

Maybe I'm wrong, but i think its Elf. It has 64Ram & 128 Flash, or they may not correctly view after flash or i dont understand differences?
It boots regulary every X minutes because it goes to sleepeng mode if device is not using. If this option off, it will not boot by its own, only if i press power button(

BlackScreen - fault

Well looks like my HD has developed a nice fault and is going to have to go back to orange.
The screen is black and no leds light up (charge etc) The hard buttons respond to being pressed and indeed if I press the phone key the screen does (or at least the tones corespond correctly(
I have\had been running HSPL, Dutty's 6.5 rom no worries.
I can get get activesync to see the device ok but obviously can not see if I can get into bootloader mode.
Now I'm going to attempt to restore to stock before reporting the fault in order to try and avoid "oh the software has caused the hardware fault"
I've managed to restore back to the orange stock rom (obviously now unconfigured) or at least I think I have as it ran through the install screen ok and the phone rebooted (or appeared to going on sounds only)
Now my only issues is to try to restore the stock SPL, however as I've said I cant get into bootloader mode (or cant tell if I'm in it) I've tried running the Hardspl and extracting the stock rom into that, but I'm just getting an error here. USB\Connection errors.
Tried rebooting etc but no joy.
Anyone got any ideas ? Or am I just gonna have to bite the bullet and see if it get's picked up?
cheers guys

I could be wrong, but I always thought when you flashed an operators own ROM it set the SPL also. I could be wrong though, but this is certainly what happens when I re-flashed my O2 Orbit back to the original software.

cheers fella will bite the bullet and report the fault and see what happens.

Help, my device is broken?

My Touch HD doesnt respond, it hangs and restarts itself all the time. Today it chrashed totally and I cant start it no more. It comes to the text "smart mobility" then the softwareinfo in the right lower corner pops up and nothing more happens..
I cant do a hardreset. (tried with volumebuttons and powerbutton at the same time)
I cant upgrade the software..
Anyone had this issue before?
Servicecentre?
Sad times...

Cokey,
Can you even put it into the bootloader mode?
Cheers.

Ehrm, whats bootloader mode?

hold vol down, and press power on (keep holding volume down until screen comes on)
you should see a screen of 3 coloured bars
if you can do this, you should be also able to do hard reset. for a hard reset make sure you hold both the volume buttons down, and keep them held after you press power on
Tom

Okey, havent tried that yet. But hardreset wont work, with both volumekeys and power on...

I've just tried that bootloader mode and that works but a hardreset isnt working. It starts up as written above then the display fades out a bit. Nothing more happens...
Darn it...

Cokey,
All is not lost, don't worry. If you can get into Bootloader mode, then you will be able to flash a new ROM onto it. Go to the ROM section and follow crackwhore's very detailed guide.
Have fun flashing!
Cheers.

Thx for the help...
After maybee 20 hardresets starts it finally started...
All seems ok with it right now... Will leave it on over the night so Im sure it wont hang/restart again..
Again thx for the help..
(Flashing is something I wanna try but I really want my OS to be in Swedish )

I have the same issues. I am constantly reflashing the ROM because the phone will not last more than a day before being stuck on the Smart Mobility screen.
I have been flashing all of Dutty's different ROMs including LEO R4 and WM 6.5 R14 Turbo, WM 6.1 etc every day for the past week. It still freezes daily and when reboot, it gets stuck on Smart Mobility Screen. I am ready to throw it in the bin!
Anyone got any ideas. Flashing ROMs isn't working or fixing it as I have tried all sorts. I have also upgraded the Radio yesterday, still doesn't help. Tried also a new SD card, again, still freezes.

Have you tried reverting back to stock rom to see if problem persists? If so, return device under warranty

J,
USPL or HSPL? Do you install any applications, or do you leave it as it is and it still crashes in a day?
Cheers.

No luck
I think my warranty is out the window when I tampered with the screws and broke the VOID Warranty sticker.
I have used both USPL and HSPL and same issues occurs. I think I have narrowed it down... if I don't touch the onboard memory, ie not install anything to the onboard memory or touch it too much in that area, then it will tend to be okay. It starts to freeze and lock up at Smart Mobility Screen whenever I copy stuff or active sync etc.... so far anyway.
Looks like its going in the bin... last resort tomorrow, revert back to stock rom and see how long it lasts.

[Q] HD2 touchscreen not responding aftef screen lock

Hi,
i`ve got a problem with my touchscreen, after installing SD card distribution of Android, few restarts later my touchscreen stpped to respond every time when my device is locked, and i have to restart it.
I tried to flash new rom - nothing happend
H-E-L-P !

remove sd card delete the partitions and format - use Easeus free edition for this
Then boot the phone - reun task 29 from your pc then reread the flashing instructions for the rom of your choice and try again - ensure the rom supports your version og HD2 whatever that may be

All done, and doesn`t work. I`m wonderig if is possible, that is malfunction of touchscreen, because it have been changed after it was broken.

i'm having the same issue. after it goes into its first lock screen the touch screen input doesn't work. i've flashed the ROM and also task29 the sucker. i've reverted back to stock ROM too. I'm not running android or even try to install from SD.

Bump..!
Anybody got a solution for this..?
I have a HD2 with android on it.. nand version.. so it runs without sd card..
The phone works fine.. but when you lock it.. the screen doesnt respond anymore.. its running miui at the moment, so i can unlock the lockscreen.. but still the screen doesnt respond..
i see more people having this issues, so i hope to find a solution..
keep on searching..!

So Am I
after 5 moths of Android Nand use I have the same problem. I have changed kernel/ROM
I made few times task29 wipe cache/dalvik but still the same
Yesterday I try install the orginal WWE 6.5 ROM but nothing change...
Maybe is hardware issue ? Few times with android rom my leo was very hot and maybe something burn inside ? or its stupid idea but who knows

Sure it's hardware: replacing touchscreen is your best choice!

But is this because of android on hd2? or do other people with stock phones also see this problem?
Hd2 is already gone here.. but i think its a good thing to know for the scene..

It's a wellknown (hardware) problem for HD2, not related to software(android/wm/wp/whatever).

SO my LEO came back from service, there is a part list that they changed:
- 54h20178-00M pre-assy key, key FPC, UF-KS, w/o Reg
- 74H01549-00M Chassis Pre-assy, black, stainless steel, MLRB81
- 76H04078-00M tape, FPC connector, kapton, MLRB81
- 83H00294-01 change 83H00233-01, 83H00294-03, 62H00065-B1M Sub-assy to 82H
maybe You need do the same...

Okay, so i just bought my 6th HD2, and this one got the lockscreen problem as well. If i lock the screen using the red power button and try to wake it up with the same red power button i found out that it doesn't work. I tried everything but i think i found a sort of workaround for the touchscreen problem.
1. Lock the screen as you normally do, with the red power button.
2. Wait at least more then 6 seconds with the screen off.
3. Now push the VOLUME UP button to make the device wake up.
4. Profit!
5. If it doesn't work, go back to 1 and try again.
I found out that if it works 1 time it will work multiple times in a row.
I'm on NAND but i think it works on SD aswell.
Please post your reactions to this.

[Q] Htc Blackstone:spl 1.56.olinex please help

hey,guys
how are u doing, hope all are right with u
i have an htc blackstone, am noob but am trying to learn about flashing.
since i was bored with wm6.1 i wanted badly to have wm6.5 or android on my htc at least for a change,i tried many roms, and my screen is freezinge and not responding all time,i mean with the process of flashing it's fine but when everything is done,the rom works but the screen freeze,so i need to know how to update this hspl 1.56 or any other solution that will allow me to use wm6.5 or any good rom.please help i was suffering for 3 days now,and can't get anything smooth
Cherrs,
Yassine

first, enter bootloader mode by shutting down the device completely, then pressing vol down and power and have a look at the 4 colored screen. it will show your current spl. please post that here.
since you already tried different roms, i assume it is hspl 1.56 already.
hspl is meant for unlocking your device to all kinds of roms, like roms from other countries (if your device is not a native wwe device).
it does not affect the speed of roms, it just makes it possible to flash and boot them at all.
things you can do to speed up your device, is perform a task 29 before flashing and perform several hard resets after flashing. probably your device is still carrying around waste from previous operating systems which makes it slow and unstable.
also, any cooked rom found here will perform slower than the stock rom you are used to but the trouble you describe is beyond the expected.

Thx Tony ,i appreciate your replay.this what it shows on the bootloader screen:
Blac100 32 m
Spl-1.56.olinex
microp-blackstone(led)V6
this displayed on the red part,of the bootloder,no info in the green and blue one,and usb showed on the white one down
As i told you i tried various rom, i even tried the original one which i download from htc website,the phone was working smoothly before,but after flashing,the room are installed,but the screen touch is not responding anymore,is there any way to get back the phone to the original setting,or any solution like compatible rom with spl 1.56 oilnex,i can't use that phone anymore ,only voulme button and power one works for the moment,please help me to fix those issues
i already perform task 29 and i cleaned the whole things,but still the some issue
best regards

strange
if it was a bad rom flash, it would be fixed after a reflash of a new rom or even a task29.. defo not rom related.
are you sure you have not droppend your device recently because its starting to sound like it is a hardware issue = lcd/digitizer
to be honest i cannot see this being a hardware issue either, if the device was fine before you flashed a new rom
*but i could be wrong
my personal opinion would be to try a couple more custom roms, if it still does not respond to touch then its time you opened your device and took a look inside..
