Hi guys,
I searched the forum for this and didn't find any threads that had an answer so i thought I'd ask for your help. This morning for no apparent reason the touchscreen on my HD2 (stock ROM) stopped responding, everything else is working fine but the screen is just not registering anything.
I tried flashing a couple of custom ROMs but that didn't do the trick, it's now been a whole day where I can't use my phone. I've had this happen to me once before but after a few hours it started working again (also for no reason). This time though it doesn't seem to be fixing itself.
Anyone has any suggestions, hints or tips before I send it back for repair?
all i can say is to make sure it is flashed with stock rom and no custom spl is present when you send it back!
Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely do so. To be honest I was hoping there is a fix that doesn't involve a repair since i bought the phone on craigslist (yeah I know silly me) and there is no warranty. So I'm guessing HTC will hammer me on the price.
you may be able to find a replacement digitiser as it sounds as if that is what is faulty on your device.
Im not sure if anyone has succesfully replaced a digitiser on an hd2 just yet though.
there are a few posts around where people have tried to do the entire screen array, lcd included but i dont know if they were succesful.
would be great to find a service manual for the leo
i just had a thought aswell... if you have no warranty then you may aswell save flashing the device back to stock... you will be charged for repair anyway!
This problem has been discussed several times on XDA. You should search for "touchscreen" or "touch screen" to see the various problems people have had. There doesn't appear to be much you can do about your particular problem.
My HD2 had the same problem when it got hot for any reason (while charging or if it was a hot day). Putting it in the fridge to cool it down helped. You can try that if you like...
Seriously - if you can repeat the problem on the phone, send it back for replacement. The phone is no good to you like that.
Thanks for all the replies, it looks like I will have to send it in... sigh... Let's see how much HTC will charge me.
By the way I tried the fridge thing after reading about it on this forum. Didn't work.
Hi, guess what, two weeks ago I got a new phone, the famous HTC HD2 (leo). I was so proud, I had read so many good reviews about this phone, and I just loved it. Played with the phone night and day, but then it started. The second weekend I had it. I sent four texts (yeah, I have no friends) I was thinking they arrived but (hence I don't have any friends) I thought they didn't answer. But on friday (05.03.2010), my brother called me, asking me about the text, I did not understand, but it seems like it waited 1 week to send a text message. Then my friend rang, about the same (but with the text i wrote to him of course), I did not know what to do! Also my brother called me like 1 week ago, i slided the most awesome button to the left, to answer the call, and guess what? The cell froze, guess what it did yesterday too? Yeah, it froze again.
Does every hd2 live its own life? Would it help to hard reset it? (even though I can't seem to find the "erase all" key)
I have other problems with the phone aswell, but can't seem to remember what they were.. hmm...
If some one does not understand what I'm trying to say: My cellphone freezes when answering a call, also won't send texts when I tell it to.
Can anyone help a friend out? I don't know where else to turn than a forum.
Is this the best phone or what!
What ROM do you have on the phone now?
Nothing that you have described seems unresolvable in the least bit. You are in the right place to make your HD2 live up to its reputation, and it certainly is not hard to do.
IF you can provide any details about your current ROM, etc. that would be a good place to start helping you.

upgrade to the latest 1.66 rom
Hm, first of all, how do I check what rom I have. Second how do I upgrade it?
1. Settings (on slide bar)>About Phone>Software information
2. Either from HTC direct or from your vendor
Thanks, "please contact your supplier first before upgrading." Aint got time for that.. Hope this will help
So you're not going to check? Are you in the UK?
Seriously, chances are you're on an old ROM and changing to a newer one will work wonders
yeah, i have the old one, anyway, yeah i had the old one... 1,48.. well its 23:59.. cant call them, + do you have any idea how expensive that is!? and yeah prolly just the copilot nav that gets screwed, and i want that to get away from my menu (start menu)

You don't need to waste a cent, or a second of time calling anyone. The won't help you. They'll tell you to reformat your phone, and the problems you described will return.
You came to the right place for help with these issues. Technical support is typically worthless, as usual. Just take some time to read the info provided here, and in just a short time, you'll be happy with your investment.
Hello all,
I have recently upgraded from my g1 to an HD2. HD2 is a great phone but still miss android . Anyways, today I wanted to get my g1 to work without a sim or data plan and was about to start working on it when my g1 screen dimmed to just the blacklight with a black screen. I turned it off and tried turning it back on but it just comes up with the backlight on a black screen. It does not even get to the G1 screen. I cannot get to recovery mode or any other mode for that matter. I have searched around but not found any real solution to this problem (if there is one). I am thinking my phone is bricked but have heard possibilities using ADB. I have never used ADB before and if anyone knows if this is a possible fix to my problem that would be great. It would be nice to know if it actually could fix my problem before looking into it and learning it all while finding out it has no chance of fixing my problem. I have tried using my sim card and a different sd card so those are not causing the problems.
So the background of what I am running on my g1. Right before I got my HD2 I was using Cyanogen version 4.2.14.1 with and ext 3. I had no problems with it until now. I got my HD2 a week ago and my g1 has been on about twice in that time without a sim card just for comparing purposes to the HD2. Then just today (about 2-3 days since I last turned it on) the screen just went black and I had my problems. I cannot return my phone because it has been over a year and I dont have insurance on the phone so these are not possibilities for me unfortunately. I also don't really want to get parts from other g1's and take apart and put my g1 back together. I am just looking for something with ADB or any other possible solution to the problem (if one exists).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I had this happen to me before. Apparently, it was a hardware GPU problem that would cause a boot loop because it couldn't draw anything on the screen. This happened on SuperD, AOSP, Cyanogen, and stock Donut.
If your problem is the same, you should be able to get into recovery, regardless of your ability to see what you're doing. Easy way of telling is to hit Camera+End on boot. If it doesn't vibrate, you're able to flash still. You may be able to get the screen back temporarily by either pulling the battery or letting the battery die and recharging.
Anyways, I ended up flashing the DREAIMG.nbh, and trying to upgrade back to 1.6 to remove traces of hacking. (Be careful if you have DangerSPL, you want to restore the default before flashing DREAIMG.nbh) I eventually got the screen working on 1.6, but it died again, so I sent it in to T-Mobile and got a replacement. I'm now using AOSP with no problems.
One small note, however, I did start having my problems using Cyanogen's mod. May want to bring it up with him?
Sorry if this sounds scatterbrained, it's a bit late and I should be asleep right now.
e:Just realized you said the warranty was void. You may be able to get something out of what I did, though? Good luck, in any case.
Thanks very much for the help even though it was really late. I did understand pretty much everything you said and I tried the camera plus power button and it didn't vibrate so it should mean I probably can flash things still. I have drained the battery and am charging it back up to see if that helped.
I have a friend who knows ADB so I am going to have him look at it to see if we can't get it working through there. Also the G1 screen has been popping up but then fading right when its about to change to the boot animation. So we will see how things go and I'll try a couple different things and report back if anything seems to work or open up more possibilities.
Thanks again for your information.
Ok, so my friend and I were going to flash a rom through fastboot. It was responding and such so we knew we were able to get it in there.
Anyone know what the command to flash a rom in fastboot is and if there are specific instructions to follow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First of all we are not trying to unroot the phone just flash another rom
Secondly we already tried your "fantastic" method of using google before coming to the forums
Ok I think I just bricked my G1
I was following the steps on theunlockr.com and was following the steps to the T like I always do.
The problem incurred after flashing the spl. I flashed the correct radio then ir rebooted and went back into recovery mode. Then I flashed the spl all seemed well home+back and never rebooted. It stayed on a black screen for over 30 mins. So I took out the battery and waited a few mins and put battery back in and same thing. Just a black screen nothing I can do. I have tried holding home+power and camera+power and back+power nothing. I am stuck have looked it up and this is the best forum I have found to post in.
Any input would be great.
thanks

Hello
Before you ask, I have searched high and low for a solution for this, trying different attempts, so here is my thread. If you find or know of another thread with the magic solution, please link me and I will thank you eternally
Me and my girlfriend have just got back from holiday and I broke the screen whilst we were away. I need to recover the data from the sdcard as it has all our holiday photos.
It is the LG Nexus 4, running the latest, STOCK, untouched Android 4.2.2.
Potential Problems
Mobile Data & WiFi is disabled - holiday so they were turned off
Screen touch / digitizer does not work
Stock Android 4.2.2
USB debugging is OFF
There's a daily alarm set which is p** me off!
Please, any suggestions?
Thanks, Josh.
As an update to this, Wi-Fi IS turned on, so I can use the online playstore to update an app, but cannot use the touchscreen and so access the app etc.
Josh

Untouched device with USB Debugging off. No way to crack this (as far as I know). A very similar issue, but still no solution. You may read this, or this.
To unlock, simply get your touchscreen fixed. No other way. Sorry mate.

Thanks. Great news - the phone is insured, but if I take the SD card out or do the touchscreen myself, it will invalidate the insurance. It's not just the front touchscreen which is broken, the back is shattered also.

Wow. Can't believe there's no way to do this. Thanks for the help those who have read this but also, cannot help!

As long as you replace the screen by yourself all the data will be saved. Screen replacement is very easy and is much cheaper than paying LG
