Blackstone dead! - Touch HD General

guys i posted earlier today that that my phone kept switching off, i thought i fixed it but now its switched off and will not come back on! ive tried charging it but doesnt seem to have any affect, i want to send back to HTC but im using a custom rom, and as it doesnt switch on i can not flash a stock rom, so my warranties gone down the drain, any1 got any ideas? i was thinking off buying a new battery but i doubt thats the problem as it would have work when i put it on charge

guys if i manage to get the phone on what stock rom/radio do i flash? im in the uk with tmbile

same here but..
i have been using htc touch hd since last February (ard) and its not that long time but my touch hd is showing problems like its dead quite often i cant see anything in my screen (but i can hear vibration on calls)and it only works once i reset i even tried factory restore but doesn't work. its same and if its problem of any other third party software i have only spb mobile shell, and skyfire.
can i know what is solution for me if i get replacement from htc. its really ridiculous to have such a product which doesnot even work for half a year.

Leave the battery out for a couple of days, and see if it can start up after that. If not, then the chances are that HTC will not see the custom rom as they will replace the main board (that is what they did for me).
In future, use USPL as this gives the fastest and easiest way to get back to a stock rom. It means that you can just install the stock rom without having th flash back to the stock SPL and can be done easily if your screen breaks.
If you can flash your device, flash it with the latest ROM from HTC if it was non branded. If you have Hard SPL, you will have to flash that back as well.
It appears that this problem is becomming more widespread - it has happened to me plus a few others.......... therefore i guess HTC will be aware of this issue.

i hade the same problem as you. And i had duttys 3.4. I had no problem whit the warranties.

If you can't even get phone to start, chances are its a motherboard problem and likelyhood is that HTC will just replace motherboard without evenm looking at whats installed on device. Others have had same problem and they had no problems. However I CANNOT stand by this 100%. It will be a risk!!

thanks guys the phone wont start so im hoping they will just fix the mother board and send it back and hopefully that will be the end of it, ill keep you guys updated they are picking it up in the morning

Clockwork like problems with Services.exe

Recently my HD has developed an annoying little fault. I'v done a search and a few people had this fault but there were no real replys.
After i power on my HD or do a soft reset, within 15 minutes without fail, services.exe will crash. No matter what i do with the phone, even if i switch it on and let it idle.
I'v removed just about every program on the phone and been through HD tweak and no joy...
The crash doesn't seem to affect how the phone runs, i just wanted to see if there was a known solution i'd missed or at least know if i should be worrying about this process crash if it performs a useful function to the phone.
Many thanks guys!
Have you tried hardresetting your phone? To me it seems that you have installed something that runs as a service and that software crashes. Also you may try to remember when the crashes began and uninstall anything that could be responsible for them.

I wanted to try to avoid hard resetting. I have un-installed just about every program on there, certainly anything that could cause this that i can think of.
Ok i just did a hard reset, within 5 minutes of the phone being on services.exe crashed again. This is without the storage card in as well...
I have the same problem on my Orange HTC Touch HD from day one (11/05/09) and so fair been unable to find any info on it in connection to Windows Mobile platform. I am already on my second phone, sim card and I only had the contract two weeks. The phone will not run Orange maps as it refuses to complete install on the 1st start. Wish i never got it now to be honest, but what phone to have instead as I hate the iPhone

From browsing on here there are a few people with this issue with services.exe so we are not alone.
I've just done about 4 hard resets trying differeny suggestions from previous threads and nothing worked. Really annoying as surely since im using stock ROM and even after a hard reset it's doing it, it has to mean there is a glitch with the core software.
As for orange maps... my HD from Orange didn't come with any mapping software i i just downloaded a googlemaps cab.
Are U on an orange ROM??
If so try setting date and time to a month earlier after hard reset at setup - just for testing for a day.. Mostly they (orange) have used some trialware software/extension which is expiring of it's free trial and sending the device to Reset. I know some one who flashed a custom ROM later due to this..

Mmm interesting, I am on a stock 1.19.61.1 WWE (11/25/08) Orange ROM yes. If this is true then i guess it gives me a good excuse to flash a cooked ROM. Been toying with the idea...
I take it after your mate flashed a new ROM the problem disappeared?
Yes, but he was not tied to Orange network..
Some ppl have reported connectivity probs with orange with custom ROM and some have not. Your mileage might vary.
If doesn't work you can always go back to Stock Orange ROM.
BTW I heard this is one of the s'kiest ROM
If you want Orange Maps you can have it free for normal version, just make sure you have a data package and just text:
Orange Maps to 247
I am also with Orange device but it is unlocked. However I flashed the ROM on the first day because it is my second HD after an unfortunate incident involving a set of keys thrown at me in the dark an my first HD in my hand... my point is - you should definitely try a new ROM, however I suggest using USPL and flashing an older cooked ROM (not 1.56 based), so you don't have to update the SPL and make reverting back to stock much easier, should you decide to make use of the warranty, because many people here are complaining about HTC returning their devices because of 'illegal firmware'.

As long as the returning isn't involved with lack of screen or input to the screen (touch pad not working) then you are alright? My personal dread would be flashing the phone have it working great for months then something goes wrong only to find out you cannot revert it then you have no come back at all.
Well - with your screen not working you can still flash a new ROM if you know the procedure. There is no touch input involved in the procedure, so you should be fine with it and you can alway claim that you had to hard reset (the phone after flashing will appear like after hard reset - time/date not set etc.) before returning for repair because of the corporate information stored in it.
Still everyone should be aware that flashing the ROM and/or SPL can void the warranty and decide for themselves.
So what is the deal with returns?
I have Orange care insurance on my contract and in the past with other handsets if i've had a problem i've just sent it off and had a new handset the following day by courrier.
If i was to flash a cooked rom and then have the screen smashed. It would be a replacement under insurance, not warranty so i would still be sent a replacement handset and i guess that would be the end of it ?

TOUCH HD keeps turning itself off

Hi Guys, i have a strange Problem since a couple of days.
The touch HD turns itself off after some minutes. I have to take out the battery and put it back in, otherwise it will not turn on...
i have:
- deactivated automatic shut down in power settings
- deactivated today timeout
- tried hardreset
- tried another rom (currently dutties final)
no success :-(
i have absolutlely no clue what could cause this and how i can fix it...
help is highly appreciated.
hello there , actually maby its a virus or there is problem in SPL
Try to install again the SPL modified and tell me
best regards
ms4cah
unlikely it has anything to do with SPL. it was fine for months, i had not flashed or installed anything.
it seams dead now by the way. i cannot turn it on again.
i also tried a new battery. it doesnt even charge, no light at the power button. nothing.

Sounds like a warranty claim
I am getting the same problem!! is there anything i can do to fix this? anyone figured out the reason?
I had this sort of problem.
The HD would hang, then switch off, then to get back on I had to remove the battery for a while. Sometimes it worked after a minute, other times I had to leave the battery disconnected for longer.
So I performed a hard reset and it switched itself off during boot (after successfully resetting).
Battery out for a while.
H/R once more. Again crashed during boot but not at the same point as previous.
Tried a different battery with a full charge - same result.
Tried to re-flash a "very popular" custom ROM with USPL. Got to 1% and error. This was because the HD had crashed..
Tried to flash the official HTC ROM and it got to 15% and error. HD crash.
So I have contacted HTC and they are sending a courier to collect it so they can take a look with a view to repairing it.
The last ROM I successfully loaded about 2 weeks prior to the start of my problems was a custom win mo 6.5 rom. As I couldn’t get it to a stable state - I couldn’t flash the official HTC ROM.
I’ve convinced myself it’s a hardware fault rather than any software damage..
Although I fear I’ll be in for some bad news.
mine too
Hi,
I have the same problem.
Mine was doing hard reset and after a day or two the same problem.
Now I cannot turn it on.
I will send it to htc...
Crossing my fingers.
I had the same problem with mine...
While turned on, it automaticly tryed to turn of, as if something was pressing the on/off buttom. Everytime that message for turning it off poped up and I just couldn't control the on/off button anymore.
I tryed everything and nothing worked. It really seemed a hardware and warranty claim issue. However, since I bought it abroad and it does not have warranty here in Brazil, I just decided to sell it (obviously warning the buyer about the issue) and to buy another one (which is working as a charm).
It is a hardware issue, for sure...
So my HD has been away at HTC for nearly a week, and im currently tracking its return journey, due to land back here at some point this morning.
I have had no contact from HTC so its going to be a suprise as to whether anything has been repaired.
My hope was they couldn't turn it on at all - thus replacing the bits n bobs inside, replacing the main board containing my 6.5 ROM.
So for now im hoping "no news will be good news", but I will update this when I have it back.
... I've the same problem...
Hi, I've the same problem. Do you have any solutions?

Just recieved delivery. The service report states:
1. Diagnosis
2. Replace Main Board
3. Function Test
Result
Confirms it was a H/W fault and my "flashing" did not effect the warranty status. That may have been because they couldnt get far enough to confirm so.

Other than a Warranty repair, im afraid not. Try your best to get it back to HTC official software, then report it as no power / cant boot.

Good to know, confirmed h/w issue
i simply deactivated automatic shut down in power settings as mentioned in the first post and unistalled a couple of new programs i had recently installed!!
Not quite sure which of the above worked.. but atleast for now it seems to be working fine!! the screen has not turned off by itself and i have not had to remove battery etc to get it to work again!
I'm not quite sure if the problem is properly fixed but it has been a few days since anything occurred!! so fingers crossed!!
mine was doing this last tuesday, each time i went into my pocket for it, it was turned off, then i hard to do the reset pin or remove the battery, it has been ok since, i just thought, maybe it was me, pushing it in my jeans i might be turning it off.
also using duttys popular 6.5 latest rom, i dont think its fair to blame his rom, as mines ok now, maybe i should reflash it again?? im still waiting for a new version to be released.... JESUS!!! just looked it up to r12, im on r9 .
oh no... no it not..... says to go here, and it will be released here and not on dutty throy???

FYI, Throy is releasing roms exclusively to HTCPedia now, so no future roms will be released on either XDA or www.duttythroy.com
wow!!! i never knew!!!! thats crazy as his own site duttythroy wont be used.
im getting it now, but only 11 when it says 12 is out, either way, i will still flash i love the roms, i will be sure to be on all the site, incase theres another change of heart??
anyway guys i will report if i noticed the shutdown thing happening again with the version. 4mins till downloaded.....
I think theres a couple of different issues here. My own problem was due to faulty parts in the hardware itself. Absolutley nothing to do with any ROM, only reason I mentioned them was because of the invalid warranty possibility.
If your problem was ROM related, Im sure in the relevant ROM thread, there would be many people (everyone) with the same issue. Thats not to say that its not some sort of conflicting software you may have installed after the ROM flash.
Some simple troubleshooting steps:
1. Hard reset - If it still has a problem...
2. Flash Official HTC ROM - If still a problem...
Phone HTC.
All the best, hope you manage to get something to work for you. I know how lost I felt without mine!

Your exactly right. Some people experience similar symptoms which are rom related others have same problem which is hardware related. One can only be fixed by HTC as motherboard problem, other can be rectified by different means without having to send device back for repairs
Hi again,
Today I have received an sms from HTC service informing me that my HD has a circuit problem and they will fix it without any charge.
I have to wait.

Noob:HD2 issues....need advice. (T-Mo U.S.)

Hello XDA,
I first off want to say that this site is amazing. Alot of good people on here making some great stuff and i just want to say thank you. Now, my issue...
I purchased the HD2 (T-Mo U.S.) the day it was released and ever since i have gotten the phone i have experienced nothing but issues. The first thing i noted about the phone was that the speaker was WAY too loud. Even when i turned it down it just seemed to be still be loud enough that people in the same room could hear my convo. After a while the speaker started to crackle and now the call quality sounds like ****..it's not all the time but most of the time. Another issue i started to have was that everytime i picked up a call the ear speaker would go mute. I would have to either put the convo on speaker OR hold the phone face down to active speaker, then whip it right back to my ear and it would sometimes unmute itself. You can only imagine my frustration when i called the tmobile store and they tell me i can get a replacement as long as i "wait for a new shipment"
So now to my software issues. As far as modding concerns i have not really changed much on the phone. I' ve installed HD tweeks + some games and my contacts. Now every time i exit a game...the OS either freezes...or it just starts buggin out on me. The bottom bar (phone / menu) will freeze or the whole OS will become super laggy and unresponsive. It has even happened just by using the SMS application at times. Also i find that i could be doing the simplest thing on the phone and for no reason...it wil decide to freeze on me. Sometime half the screen, sometimes the whole thing. I have to remove the battery to reset it when that happens.
Now i know about closing opened programs through the task manager and also about clearing sms's regularly and soon and so forth. If there is anything else you guys think i should consider doing i am ready to hear it. I came from a 1st Gen iPhone that i had since 2007, which i jailbroken for tmobile (the OLD way...lol) and in the 2 years i had that phone the HD2 has given me more problems in its 2 weeks.
Do you guys think i got a really defective phone?...or is WinMo really just that ****ty? I dont want to get another phone but as it is,..im really thinking about just giving up on it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and once again thanks!
I think you have a defective phone. My HD2 (from T-Mobile) doesn't have issues at all with the phone going mute. It could also be the HD tweeks, i would do a hard reset and see if you are still having this issue.
i would suggest try flashing a custom rom with new radio and c if that works i had the call sound problem flashed rom n radio now its crystal clear and runs brilliant

Oh really?...Can you give me more info on this and your previous issue?
my phone would occasional mute or hold the call without me relising and the call quality was terrible my friend in usa has t mob one and he had similar issue he read the stickies in the rom development forum and flashed a custom rom and radio and he thinks it solved his problem it solved mine if its new i would be tempted to take a new handset and see
hope that helps

i wouldnt flash a rom. its a brand new phone do the factory reset first and if that doresnt work exvhange it. If you flash the rom you will void your warranty most likely. IMHO you're already on 2.10 rom which is pretty new and should have all the latest hotfixes

You won't void your warranty flashing anymore... the hspl can easily be taken off now with the same app that puts it on. You can try flashing a rom... it might fix it. Otherwise, flash back to stock rom, take hspl off, and then exchange it. I'm still on stock atm, and haven't had any problems people are complaining of. My only issue is T-mobiles crappy 3g coverage that doesn't even work inside my house. I have 1 more day to decide if I want to return it and go back to at&t... Save up and get myself an australian HD2.
Returning the phone today. Even with the issue of broken ear piece, i just cant take this anymore. Beautiful phone, great UI (sense) but the glitchy-ness of WinMo is just too unbearable. guess ill be getting a Nexus.
it is really up to you if you wanna return it back and get a N1. i bought this phone cause of this specs. and for me it do very nice. you can even buy a iphone also which also very easy to use and less bugs ofcourse nothing is perfect as in "Perfect"
not everybody wants to take risk and flash roms and other stuffs so i guess its your best decision. good luck... but if you need any help about HD2 please feel free to come by this threads...
yea i bought the HD2 hopefully i dont get those problem or else NEXUS one for me too.

Touch hd major problem with the screen

OK, here what's the deal: a few days ago I cracked the screen, so I bought a new one and replaced it. BUT, now the phone does not recognize it and the screen doesn't turn on at all. The phone boots and it's working fine, I can recieve calls normaly, but the screen is dead. ALSO, the volume keys stoped functioning...
Any ideas please? I'm getting kinda desperate here...
Tnx
You probably messed up somwhere in your wiring. Open it back up and make sure everything is intact. Check out some guides online to make sure everything is in the proper place.
Allready done that, everything is in place...I do have a cooked ROM thought I can't remember which since my screen is not working, obiveously...Could it be tha I nedd to switch back an original ROM for it to be able to recognize the new hardware??? And is there an app that would allow me to monitor phones activity over PC???
No, A cooked rom wont affect a screen replacement in anyway.
I repaired mine while KWBR's Topix 6.5 was on the handset, infact Ive never had this handset on a stock rom, so it wont make a difference or help you.
Did you buy your Screen and Digitizer factory pre-assembled, the small price difference compared to buying the part standalone is worth every cent in preventing these sorts of after repair problems.

[bug]should I return my device to htc?

Hello all !!
I have a problem with my Leo, seen several times on the forum, but with a little thing more.
so,
_it freeze up often (with battery drainage, full when i go to sleep and shut off when wake up)
_soft reset alone
_i must do many (and many) soft reset when it freeze up, because it freeze on start up.
_and when it's happened, the part below the battery is hot!!
i've test many rom, with task29 whenever and hard reset after flash, and on every 1st start up, freeze...
Do you know this problem?
thank you.
"edit"I also tried to remove the micro sd is the same thing.
nobody has the part below the battery hot?
is it the ram or processor? (or both lol)
if possible at all, just get a replacement while you still can.
I have the same problems more or less. More specifically it freezes randomly ONLY when using the internet (on GPRS, 3G, I havent tried it in wifi), and when it does it gets hot on the part under the battery (really, what part is there?).
Anyway, I send it to the service (couldn't get a replacement), and they checked it but they found no problems
Oh, and i have tried e v e r y t h i n g I could in order to find out why that happens. With SD, whithout SD, Stock Rom, Custom Rom, ,Different Radios, Nothing Installed, you name it, but the problem is there. I am not sure though if I can connect the problem to my SIM card, or the gsm network in my area (doubt it though since I was using my old TP2 flawlessly), but I do not have the knowledge to even guess if that could be the possible reason of the problem.
HTC will ask you to use the stock rom and try if you still get the problem , if so, then your phone might be a defective one. go to HTC and ask for a replacement.
flash stock spl and rom and go for htc ,if hard reset didnot solve these issues then it is a defective device
thank you,
my leo is SFR branded, so I must go through them and with SFR rom.
to get a replacement, it will be hardly.
i'll try on thursday, when i come back home.
thank you very much.
If you've had it more than 7 days (including the time it took to get to you if you ordered it from the SFR website) they won't give you a new one... They'll send it off to be repaired which can take up to 14 days. I know... I had to do it twice in the first month until they finally fixed my microphone problem...
to see after the repair.
thanks at all!
HI, after 2 repairs,i finally have my hd2 !!
1st time, software uptdate...so nothing
2nd time they changed the motherboard.
Test for 2 days before change the rom lol
