So I've had my Cingular 8125 for 2 years now...
Just lately it's been dying out, some of the keys are hard to press and now the screen is discolored and fades out white sometimes, and the most recent problem is that I can't really hear phone calls unless the phone has the slider open.
I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered these problems and has a fix? I was thinking it may be the flex ribbon...
Any input is greatly appreciated!
hy
i don't know if this helps u , but i have seen on youtube a video on how to fix the ribbon or smth like that. i think the guy from there had a simillar problem with yours. i watched the video 2 years ago so i might be wrong.

Hey guys!
I've seen people complain about broken Wizard LCD/touchscreen around here but none of them said anything about partially functioning touchscreen. So here it goes:
A few days ago my phone stopped responding to taps. Just like that! I updated the phone with the latest ROM from HTC (official) and no change. Since then I've been lurking this forum trying to find something similar ...
I've flashed it with custom roms, now I'm trying the WM6 with the hope that maybe the touchscreen will respond to taps by itself, without me having to keep the left softkey pressed while tapping. I can't decide if this is a hardware or a software issue.
If anyone should have any idea about this, please advise. I'm not afraid to open it up or anything like that...
ps: waiting on a replacement touchscreen I ordered off of eBay. ($12)
Thanks a bunch,
kevin
Same Problem
My touchscreen has been acting up lately and today it just stopped working. Tried many things like you with no luck. However I followed your advice on pressing the left soft key and the touch screen started working.
Does anyone have any clues?
touch screen prob.
if your touch screen is not responding then you have to chang the touch screen if it responce some where in time then you open you device and just resolder the touch screen film connector (back side of screen)its just get drysoldered thats why these things happen like you press rite side of screen and it geting work again if relese its stop working................
you have to do only re sloder the connector of touchscreen
Different Problem
Like the post originator said, the screen does work, you just have to hold the left soft key down while tapping. Also did take it apart and didn't see any problems.
Mine just developed this issue, anyone have a fix? I've got a digitizer (Touch panel) on order from ebay as a 1st step. Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!
Ok this is odd, but I'm suddenly having the same issue. Touchscreen doesn't work unless I'm holding the left soft key as well... This has to be software right? Anyone have any ideas yet?
I dont have this problem.. but this is 'interesting' I'm wondering, if it is hardware or software problem. For hardware problem, you can try pressing on the area around the left softkey rather than the left softkey. For hardware, you can check to see if it is working after a hardreset?

This issue has to be related to corrupted software that was installed, I mean how can this many people have the same exact problem around the same time if it's hardware related. Compare notes: All those having this issue,submit the most recent software that was installed, and if everyone installed the same thing, then that's the culprit!

First of all, sorry if this or a fix to this has already been posted.
The keys on of my hermes are dead-just the 6 and top 2 (msg & ie), the centre scrolling thing works. the outer keys;comm mgr, camera, jog dial etc. work.
i had this problem a few months ago and it worked itself out after a month or so i think. i've opened it up to but it looked fine.
it's a little annoying, especially the lack of the endcall button.
Anyone else have/had this problem?
thanks
merry christmas everyone
strange, its fixed itself
sorry i wasted this thread.
my advice to anyone to whom this happens: leave it be.!
ooh..dead again
It could be related to the white-screen issue. This issue is apparently caused by a weird connection to the d-pad itself (which also controls the mail/internet buttons at the top of the phone, as well as the send/end call keys). I'm currently in the process of trying to fix my phone. Anyway, for some more info, check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321163&highlight=white+screen
If you start seeing a white screen soon, then you definitely know that this is it.
Ok, so I just bought a Hermes that was listed with "software problems". It seems to have a mind of its own. It scrolls on its own or clicks in and out of options when I try to run programs or settings. Anyways, I've downgraded and upgraded with no luck.
Then, I notice that some of the soft keys are stuck. For example, I can't press "down", "endcall" and the "left selection key". Is that whats causing the phone to act weird or is it a software problem? If it's hardware, I would I go about fixing it?
sounds like a damaged digitiser i would look for spare parts as it can be exchanged without changing the whole lcd
not sure who sell it and if they ship it to where you live
i would look at expansys or google

I'm curious, if its not a hardware problem, what could the problem be?
i say i suspect hardware as many people in the trinity forum had issues just like it
parts of the screen being "pressured" at all times and that was hardware issues
Ok, so I made a video of the problems I was having. So maybe this can confirm or not that this is a hardware problem. I'm second guessing the hardware problem because the touch screen *seems* to be working fine. And the soft keys are not actually stuck, they just don't press as well as the others. I won't even touch the screen and just scroll with the dpad and I get the same problems. Anyways, I'm a noob to the Hermes so I may not know what I'm talking about . Here is the video clip:

Can somebody, anybody please take a look at my video and see if the problems are indeed hardware or something else?
Hi,
I have a HD2 since november last year and so does a friend of mine. Today I tried to fix something for him on his HD2 and I noticed that his vibration is alot more noticeable, more a bouncy vribration instead of just vibration. My HD2 only vibrates a little.
Has anyone else expierienced this 'bug'? And is it fixeable?

check whether the LED flasher is little bit inside the housing
if yes then remove the housine and fix it
I have a big problem. My phone "forgets" it's screen alignment options and not responding properly. Sometimes if i want to "hit" something I have to touch 1cm up or down. Every time is different. At first I thought that this is a software issue, so I flash the ROM. But didn't work at all. The problem stays. When i realign the screen it act normal for several seconds or minutes. Can anyone help me with this problem?
My father had the same problem... I've unscrewed (uncrafted ? or anything you want ^^' ) it and removed all the components than put them back, now there'snt any problems anymore. Quite strange, huh? ^^
I solved the same problem after I have replaced the touch.... Also take care at sound buttons when you DIY.
