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.

im pretty sure I have the same problem
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.

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...

Touchscreen does not react

Today I used my HD like always. When I picked it up and tried to unlock it, the screen did not react. It does not react to any kind of push on the touchscreen or on the 4 touch buttons. The device starts as it has always, but I can't do anything with it. In the last couple of days I have not installed any additional software, so that can't be it either.
Soft resetting does not work either.
The device is fully loaded, has updated original rom.
Can anyone help me

Try HardReset (VolUp+VolDown then 1click PowerOn, follow display): if this isn't usefull -> Customer Service
D'rath
PS: HR erases all

After the hard reset the screen goes to a message saying: tap screen to set up your device.
I still can't tap the screen so the hard reset ends there...
Is there someone who knows a solution, if not I will have to send it back to the factory or something.

i had that bother with mine, it turned out that it was the orange rom that was causing all the problems. I put in dutty's 3.4 and that solved it

My provider is T-mobile. This means no special rom is on my hd. Is it wise to put Dutty's rom on my hd, with the thought that i might want to sent it back to HTC? Can I after putting Dutty's rom on it and finding out it still does not work put another rom on there leaving no trace of dutty's rom?

If you still have the original rom on it, seems to me that the best option is to send it off under warranty.

+1 Anfloyd say true ^^
Better solution if under warranty
D'rath

Most likely a fault with the digitizer. Happened to mine and quite a number of others. I had mine fail and had to get it repaired.

Than that is what I will do.
Thanks for the advice all!

I have same problem with my HD!
So what was cousing problem - software(ROM) or hardware?
And did waranty cover it?

I have this with most of the newer ROMs and with all W6.5 roms.
Try to flash to a version from around april of this year.

I have this problem also - luckily for me I live in Milton Keynes and the HTC repair centre is just round the corner from me. I have taken it there for repair under warranty. Will let you know what they say when I get it back....which hopefully will be today.

Hi guys ,
i have the same problem .
Touchscreen stopped to work. It was up but not possible to tap anything.
I think to change digitizer and then all the lcdscreen.
Is possibile to change only the digitizer ?

htc hd broken display

I'm very disappointed, I'm having problems again with my htc hd. At first it blocked and it wouldn't want to turn on. I sent it back twice under warranty with the same problem and in the end they replaced the motherboard.
I thought that now that practicly i have a new phone i won't have any problems with it. But surprise! The display just got crazy. When i touch the screen in a spot it activates in a completely different spot. It's the same thing on the entire screen. Check out the video.
Anybody had this problem? Oh, by the way the phone didn't managed to fall from somewhere, or get hit by something or anything else.
PS: Next step: htc snap. No touch, no worries. I hope so.

Could be that your screen alignment is not setup properly. Have you tried setting this up?

had EXACTLY the same issue. left my touch for an hour and when I cam back to it it was like that.
I sent it back to HTC and the first time they cancelled my warrenty because it had "illegal" software on it. I had Hardspl on there, nothing else.so when got it back I returned it to its origanol configuration and sent it back again. Its interesting you got a new motherboard in yours as they claimed that was the fault in mine and told me it was BER (beyond economical repair)
I am not going to accept their bull%$$^ and if it comes back again without repair i shall resend it again & again (cost me nothing) until either Carphone Warehouse replace it under warranty or HTC fix it under warranty. My phone was less tha 2 months old and NEVER been dropped or mishandled. It was in pristine condition

If you have removed everything illegal from phone, i.e. returned phone to original SPL and rom and then returned phone under warranty, they are obliged to fix it or send a replacement under warranty as your phone is only 2 months old. If they fail to comply I would threaten them with Standards agencies and Watchdog.
Let me know how you get on.

Couple ways:
1. Manual way by navigating to Start > Settings > System > Screen
2. By performing a hard reset. After you have performed a hard reset and rebooted device you should be prompted with a setup screen allowing you to align screen and then enter date/time.

After your hard reset were you not able to screen align?

I had the same issue. Without any impact or misuse the screen started becoming misaligned. Re-aligning the screen would only work for a short time before it again went crazy - it gradually got worse until the phone was completely unusable.
It turned out to be hardware fault with the touch overlay. I sent it back and HTC repaired it under warranty.
Having searched a lot around the web, I think this is a fairly common fault.
The tricky part was doing anything with the phone when the screen doesn't work. e.g. removing the "illegal" software - hardspl and the cooked ROM. In the end I used some software called "EveryWAN remote support". This is free software that lets you operate the phone through your PC. You could try using this to get to the align screen. Good luck.

Update:
I sent it back again via CPW and they put a note on my file that although the software may have been "illegal" there is no way it could have caused the fault to the phone, I also restored it back to the origonal configuration so they could see it was a fault on the phone itself and not software.
Well, to cut a long story short HTC have accepted responsibilty and givenme an exchange unit and reintated my warranty so I am happy as Larry.
All I can say id dont give up on getting satidfaction out of HTC. in my opinion they have a duty of care to us as customers even if we put "illegal" software on our phone.

3. pressing "VolumeUP" and "VolumeDOWN" and "Touching the screen" all at the same time -- gets you to align screen.
ABOUT THE SCREEN PROBLEM:
judging by the problem you have it might be that some of your digitizer wires arent working (broken or not having a proper contact) -- if the problem started immediately after you got your HD back from service, - then it might be that the guys there broke a wire of digitizer or didnt attach the wires to its connector-- Digitizer has 4 wires who connect to device (if only 3 or less wires work-- incorrect screen response and no way to align it) .... (sory for the english but I dont know all the names of the stuff i wish to mention )
I suggest you to take it to service and explain them the problem and say that it might be the wires of digitizer , because of the last service!
Good Luck!
oh and HTC Snap aint worth it- HD is best!!! you just had a bad model, which is one of thousands(you may consider yourself as a chosen one )

My display just stopped working. Completely. They changed the whole front part at warranty and now it works way faster while browsing it. It took 15 days to replace the part. Unfortunately I have other issues with the phone but I don't want to be off topic here.

I RMA mine due to black screen. After they returned the darn phone (after changing the bezel and motherboard - you would think it is as good as a new phone), Wifi and Bluetooth does not work. Gonna stick right beside the router or bluetooth set to detect...
I am going to condemn HTC soon....

Hello all! i have the same problems with the screen! i align it and shortly it goes crazy! i noticed that after i flashed the energyrom with build 28011 but i dont think there is the problem..

Thanks, forgot that one

I have this problem, it was just this week - christmas day onwards. It's random as to the problem being there.
Bought the HD from mobiles.co.uk without cancelling the insurance.
it will always work again for a short period if I manage to get to the align screen config.
I'm running the stock rom (never flashed)
I have done some TF3D changes. (background, icons, etc.)
It can randomly decide to work again, and then randomly not work.
found out the volumer control and tap screen shortcut to the align screen config, so that should help me get it back quicker.
It's like the lower down the screen I tap, the further away it is from what actually sows on the screen. the call home back end buttons dont work when it is not aligned.
I'm in the UK and the date of the insurance letter is 15th June 2009 on an 18 month contract with O2
What should I do?

It happens more often now, and is getting annoying.
it can end up lower down the screen to now be out either above or below it
I really need help with it.
I ended up ringing the landline phone, and possibly (almost certainly) waking up people in the house struggling to turn it off.
A solution is needed pronto.
It can go wrong within seconds of doing the alignment thing

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...

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!

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.

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.

Problem with touch screen on Htc touch HD

Hello My touch Screen dosent respons when i press on it. It just happend when i had it in my pocket ?? some ideas? But if i hafe to change the touch screen do you know about some links how to do it. How to opnen the phone

My HD has the same problem. You can try and call HTC in your country. I've been told that HD has 27 months of warranty from manufacture date. You may still be under warranty

Assume that you have already tried doing soft and hard reset, haven't you?

The problem with hard reset is that after reset you get into "phone setup" mode where you set up time, operator, align screen and so on. But 1st thing your phone asks you after hard reset is "Touch the screen to continue" Since it does not respond to taps, you get stuck

If you have tried a hard reset and the screen doesn't respond during initial setup (where it says: tap the screen to continue setting up your device) it very likely is the hardware! I would have no other explanation!
Just to be sure, you could try flashing a different ROM - but I'm very sceptical, that this would make any difference...
Also, don't you still have warrenty on the device?

Hmmm... good question... Maybe the serial could be enough - but I'm not too sure HTC will admit that! By the way: HTC shouldn't need any proof at all since the phone was released last year - so noone can have a Blackstone older than 12 months, right? But again: I don't think HTC will take care of it that easily...

This is a good place to start for finding out your warranty status.
Go through the process - your digitizer is very likely to be the fault, which is hardware and is replaceable. But why would you want to do this at your own expense if your device is still in warranty?
If you have HardSPL installed, you'll need to revert back to stock SPL and ROM, otherwise HTC will reject your device as these pieces of software voild your warranty.
Good luck.

Good Day,
Thought I would add my thoughts to this as currently going through same thing. I managed to get the ROMs and SPL back to Stock, even downloaded latest ROM from HTC.com to see if this would make a difference but screen still not completely not working but very intermittent.
Phoned HTC Support 1200 Monday, UPS were scanning and picking up package 1500 Tuesday, phoned today 1100 Thursday and they have received it but there were no updates on the repair status

Its seems to me that its not a problem because the warranty is still on

had to replace my touchscreen just today - cost 90 dollars - lesson learned don't let your toddler play with your phone
