Ever since I had this HTC Tattoo, I couldn't manage to calibrate the G-sensor and therefore the display doesn't turn when I rotate the phone.
I always get the message "Calibration aborted".
Do you guys have this problem? Did you find a solution for this?
Please help!
Reset phone
Already did it. Still not working.
Did you fix the problem yet, you could try a different rom or even reflashing the one on the phone already.
same problem here.....
I did try a different ROM, still nothing.
Then it could be a hardware issue. If I were you, I would've looked for a replacement.
have you tried holding the phone at a tilt and then calibrating?

Yep, I did try that. Still nothing. I think it's just a hardware problem.
I saw this in the Hero forum and I think it might help. There are 2 ways of checking a hardware fault with the G-sensor:
- either the Bubbles game which does not depend on the OS for sensor data
- or the Sensor Debug app.
If anyone of these apps gives you a good response from the sensor, then it is a software fault and you should harass HTC for a software patch. That's what the Hero guys did and it seems to have worked for them (in that case it seemed to be some kind of permission problem with the calibration log file).

hi all, i bought a tytn at ebay, but
the after a short time of using the bottom buttons, they stop working.
touch screen and buttons on the side are stÃll working, but the bottom buttons are dead.
sometimes after turning off amd turning on they are working for a short time again. a restart also helps to make them work.
but its not funny to restart every 10 minutes.....
it is an e-plus tytn from germany with wm5.
do u guys think that it is a hardware or a software error?
I seem to have this problem on and off myself and think it's related to either the rom on the phone or the radio rom but am not sure which. It seems sometimes I have this problem and it seems to come and go depending on what combination of rom/radio rom I have installed. If I was smart I'd find a combination that works well for me and stick to it but I always like to play with things so typically every day or two I'm reseting
yeah, i have the same problem.... i hate to restart the phone every now and then, but I need to figure this out sometime soon, or I'm gonna upgrade to WM6 to see if that solves my problem. lol...
did anybody else have an idea to solve the problem?

I opened up my tytn, to find out the problem, and I found a small crack in the flexcable mentioned above.
Before it was never opened nor did anything strange happen with it, so this seems to be yet an other production problem/fault..
More and more people seem to have the same problem, time to presure htc for a repair....
Ok for me this is too late, but all for the good cause.. will just order myself a new cable and try to swap it..
Any ideas where to get the flex cable these days? Not finding it at the link above and internet searches aren't panning out either.
FYI:
Just got back my HTC TyTN from service under warranty, sent for exactly the same problem.
The technician I spoke to directly said that maybe about 90% of the lower keys malfunctions are caused by the lower keyboard board behaving erratically and it is a well-known hardware problem.
A board replacement solved it, my TyTN is working perfectly again, they also replaced the stylus holding rubber (which was broken already from the early days) and, surprise, they upgraded my WM5 device (I had to revert everything to the initial versions before handing it to them) to the latest official HTC WM6 Rom. Even bigger surprise, although what I gave them was a WWE device, when I got it back they had upgraded it to the localized (official Greek) version. Life is good.
Anyways, seems the only real solution to this is a visit to the repair store, hopefully under warranty and reverted back to the original settings...
I will "donate" money to someone, if they can get my camera working?

TC,
What's wrong with your camera? Is it physically broken? I doubt you'd have to donate just to get help. Just post your problem.
Cheers.
I did post my problem. I got a few people who say they have the same problem but no one has a fix. I just cant get the program to initialize

I noticed your using MIRI ROM 6.5 Manila 2.5
Have you tried another ROM?
Or go back to 6.5 2.1 see if camera still has probs
Manila 2.5 does have known bugs and is not perfect yet
Worth atry then you will know if its the camera or ROM
the problem started with duttys wm6.1 rom with manila 2.1, I also tried a few wm 6.5 roms with manila 2.1
Have you tried to flash an Official ROM? Or install a new camera cab?

yes I have tried to do both of those. I even tried the stock blackstone camera

You said that the camera gives you an error message that says "Failed to initialize..... etc..."? Did it have anything in there about a certificate error or component missing error?
I know this may be a long shot but have you ever dropped the phone or gotten it wet? If so then you may have jarred something inside the phone or fried an essential circuit for the camera to function.
I would suggest flashing a stock ROM including radio and see if that helps at all.
I have never had a problem with my HD's camera short of it being really laggy under poor lighting conditions. I'll keep a lookout for a fix for this.

I am not the 1st owner but it shows no sign of watter damage. It did get set down next to a tool magnet once. I have never dropped it.
I did take it all the way back to a stock SPL and the newest stock rom, didn't help. I have had to diferent people tell me they have the same issue and once more I found who posted before me about the same issue. He had a fix but it didnt work for me.
Last night I did a full tear down and see no damage to any of the parts but that doesnt say much

That is really weird... I've personally never had a "Failed to initialize" error before. Usually it is just a certificate error that I get after I screw up a ROM build and it's never related to the camera.
Since you already restored the stock SPL and the whole 9 yards, I strongly suggest contacting HTC's repair department and see if they have any advice or can repair the device for a fee. I have a good friend who dropped his Touch HD in a glass of milk and the phone worked fine afterwards but he was unable to use the actual Touch Screen as the Digitizer was toast. He sent it in to HTC to have it repaired and if I remember correctly, received it back yesterday, like new.
Good luck to you man, hope you can get it figured out or are able to have the device fixed if it turns out to be a physical problem and not software related.
Best of luck,
Dan.
really? even though it is an HD in USA? Did he call the HTC in the US?
My Desire HD with both, froyo and gingerbread has the same problem, all with oficial roms: When I turn the screen off the phone just turns on back again. I sent to the SAT about 4 times now and the only thing they do is "Software update", is it a hardware problem? Can I change it for a new one? How can I do so? Im so desperate about all this problems because I am not able to use it because battery runs out in half a day. Please! SOS! Thank you every1.

This happens, without failure, every single time you turn off the screen? If that's the case, i can't see how the technicians at the service center haven't been able to reproduce the problem after a full wipe/update..
I'd say this has to be a hardware fault unless the service people haven't done anything at all. If this keeps happening regardless of factory resets/software updates, I can't see how this is a soft problem.
I'd ask you to try a few different roms and such, but I assume you are unrooted and uninterested in all that? If so, there's not really much you'll be able to fix for yourself. I would try to send this in as a hardware issue and try to get it repaired/replaced, makeing sure to explain that this "software update" **** they're doing isn't working.
Tried everything
I write here cos ive tried everything. Tried all roms and now back on vodafone oficial rom. Problems on all. I sent it with faulty hardware on the repair sheet and wrote:
GPS module.
Light sensor module.
Screen ok?
Radio OK?
And many more things, they just "Software updated"

That sucks. I've worked at shops that sell mobiles, and I've seen this many times: The technicians get an error report and end up just doing a "software update" (eg nothing) and ship it back.
I think the problem for the main part is that they recieve so many inane error reports (poor battery or something stupid like that) from customers who have no business handling any piece of electronics that they just have to go the easy way and not really do anything.
In this case I'd say it's a gross oversight on their part if this problem happens every time you turn off the screen. If there's any way for you to underline the fact that you are fairly competent with these things and feel that it is a hardware fault, and that their goddamn "software updates" don't work, you should do that.
sry I don`t have a solution about your problem but the thread title describes also my problem.
how can I turn the screen ON from the other buttons also? (not only from power)
Now I've read about a problem of the hd2 having digitizer problems and that only a replacement will fix the unresponsive touchscreen issue. But why is it that when I can get my touchscreen to work that it works flawlessly until it goes to sleep? Then i have to continually wake and swype and sleep over and over until it responds. It just seems very weird that after it wakes that it never seems to have a problem. I'm using the miui rom right now and have set the screen to never go to sleep. So I want to see how long it will go without this problem. Has anyone else seen this happening with their phone as well?
Make sure the kernel, and Rom are up to date.
I have that too on an AOSP Gingerbread rom. The screen is not unresposive per se but calibration seems off some times, strage for a capacitive screen.
ive had the problem with android before and there were a few different fixes ...
one fix was to turn off compatibility mode
another was kernel
ive also had the problem with wp7 ( nothing a few hard resets and patience couldnt cure )
either way good luck
well since my first post, i hadn't let the phone go to sleep once and it worked perfectly fine. so i decided to turn off compatibility mode and let it go to sleep.... and when i woke it and i slid my fingers down it actually worked. so far it's worked every time. why would compatibility mode mess up the touchscreen though?
i have NO earthly idea! just a little tidbit i picked from a dev. i would speculate but would end up looking and sounding foolish. so im going to quit while im ahead and have actually been of help :-D cheers
Where can i disable compatibility mode?
I get the same problem. I've used a ICS rom for a day or so and suddenly the lockscreen was unresponsive. I thought it was ROM problem, so I flashed Cyanogen 7, but the screen didn't respond as well... I flashed everything to stock (removing magldr and hspl) and the problem stayed... After several restarts the screen started to respond and now it works (sort of). The tricky thing is: sometimes when I go out from some app in android, the screen doesn't respond again. Locking and unlocking the screen fixes this, but only temporarily.
Did this ICS rom screw something (...hardware?!) or is it a pure coincidence that a few people encounters the same problem for the first time in such a short period of time...
And one more thing... my warranty expired 5 days ago... please help!!!
I had this same problem with my phone before my warranty expired; before I flashed any android roms on it, and while it still had stock WM6.5. I called HTC customer support and they had me send in the phone for repair. They replaced the digitizer and I haven't had the same problem since. It was wierd because in my mind is seemed like a software problem because it would respond nicely as long as the screen was unlocked and the instant it was locked the response was very crappy, sometimes it took forever to unlock my phone. So it might somehow be a hardware issue

spare parts!
I repair phone myself and i can say that i get A LOT of hd2's with this problem. For the most part it is the hardware because no matter what software you put on the phone it is just a matter of the luck you have to get it working. My hd2 broke 2 times b4 and it was always hardware. Htc must of messed up with the hd2 digitizer

from what ive seen in photos of the leo mobo it looks like the connection for the screen/digitizer (not sure on hardware) is located right behind red end call/power button and from being mashed off,on,off,on,etc loosens/damages connection.
or is the hardware screen issue just a complete shot in the darks chance?
OH ... ive had the software issue (fixed as i mentioned earlier) AND unrepairable (with my limited tools and balls to physically tear into this badboy) hardware issues.
well, it's been a few days and my phone still seems to be fine. it hasn't once locked up on me yet. i don't know why turning compatibility mode would fix this. or maybe the phones connectors were loose and are now miraculously back in at the same time i unchecked compaibility mode. the only bad thing was that this was happening the last couple weeks and i had given up and already ordered a sensation 4g. or well, guess i have 2 phones now
Its seems possible. Every since I replaced my digitizer with a non OEM one its has never failed on me again. And I hope it never does. There dam expensive.

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Compatibility Mode
I also have this issue, therefore I just recently flashed my hd2 with Tytung's 4.0 ICS Rom. As expected, this didn't help very much.. What I am now going to try before I send my phone to HTC is to disable compatiblity mode. BUT, I can't seem to find this compatibility mode check anywhere. Could someone please guide me there?
..
Windows 7
I will be flashing my phone with w7 now, to see wether this is an android kernel bug / softare issue or if this relates to hardware. I also see a lot of people saying that after fixing the digitizer it works again, so it might actually be a hardware issue. I will post my feedback when I have tried with w7.
This morning my touchscreen started to make me angry and i dowloaded a test program. There is two lines that is seems to broken? is this a hardware problem? What should i do?

Try installing different roms to check if its not just a software-bug. if that doesnt work your digitizer is probably broken.

sorry to bring bad news mate, but my first guess would be that your digitizer has failed. Unfortunately it's a relatively common problem with the Nexus 4. To rule out easily the software, just boot the phone in recovery mode and check if the touch screen responds properly in there. If not, i wouldn't even bother flashing other roms or doing a factory reset: your only option remains sending it in for repairs... or you could always try replacing the screen by yourself.
Here are some other threads that deal with the issue:
