HI all,
My hd2 has fallen yesterday, and now i have noticed the keypad lights wont turn off :-(
the device goes to stand by mode fine, screen is off, but the keypad stays on.
any ideas, what could happen? Has anyone had this problem??
Thanks
I now have the same problem. Did you manage to fix it? If yes can you please let me know how did you fix it. Mine is giving the same problem and I didn't even drop it
Hard Reset
@Don001: Tried Hard Reset including flashing back stock ROM and trying every available update of Energy ROM. Didn't work . Is there any app like KeyLedControl that does the opposite....instead of keeping the lights on....switches it off instead? Mine is always on....and never switches off.
Tried to google it and someone suggested that the phone needs a bit of cleaning but...I saw the videos to disassemble....man that's hard
Any other suggestions?
I have the same problem, and mine didn't even fall.
And also hard reset it to stock rom.
i have the problem that my keypad flashes constantly since i installed a custom rom
it goes in this sequence.
* *** * *** etc.
hmmm....
if there is nobody who can answere our prpblem, maybe we should send it to rep?
One of the phone repairers suggested Chemical Cleaning. Not sure if it is going to fix it though...Going to give it a try. Will see how it goes
My HD2 has started to do this since yesterday too.
The keypads stay on but do very slighly dim but still on all nite, killing my battery!!
any suggestions?
This may or may not help
Look at the bottom of post # 4 there is a link to switch the lights oof, it may be rom specific but its worth a try

There are some tips and tricks to stop freezing and hanging. One key one is to put it into sleep mode yourself by pressing the power key NOT let it go into sleep mode by itself. Aside from that have you tried the things mentioned here:

Mike
I have try all tips from http://michael-channon.spaces.live.c...ng%2fHanging but problem is still the same. I`m afraid it`s could be a hardware problem. I have put a light rom, there is no additional software in. Ihave also put a new batery, make test with pocket mechanic - get no more ideas. If I swith on hermes in safety mode problem is exactly the same. Sometimes system is stop responding directly after swith on, sometimes it`s take few or about 20 minutes.
Any ideas?
You could try a Hard Reset or changing the rom. Remember to back up everything first, I'd do both a contacts backup and a full backup. That way if you still have the problem after the full backup you can try a HR again but setup everything from scratch.
It may be bad blocks, so you should use MTTY to check this.
If you do decide to upgrade the rom, MAKE SURE YOU HARD SPL 1ST.....
Cheers...
After I installed new rom on my blackstone a new problem came out...
Time to time something hapens to my touch screen. It gets very very imprecise. For example, when I'm writing a SMS message I press the "V" button but then "G" is written on the screen... But this doesn't happen just when I'm writing a SMS but it happens no matter what I'm doing with the phone... Everything seems to be "shifted"/moved for about 1 centimetre upwards.
I made a hard reset and reinstalled rom but nothing didn't helped...
But it's funny because this isn't happening all the time but just time to time. Then I recalibrate the screen (voUp and voDO + tap the screen) and it helps for a few moments and than the same problem again. Then I'm doing the recalibration procedure till this problem vanish...
What is the problem, how can I solve it???
Please help because it is really annoying...
Hi,
May be that the change of Rom is only a coincidence?
It is not excluded that the touch screen of your blackstone can be a little damaged.
I have a pda that sometimes have the same problem, but I not updated any Rom to it.
Simply I stressed his touch screen with some abnormal pressure (I think).
thanks for reply...
It's funny because it works fine all day but suddenly you need to write a SMS or just answer the call, but that is not possible.
Well the screen might been damaged but it's weird because when I start calibrating the screen I tap the cross and it's not moved...
What can I do?
Same problem
I have same problem and I didn't make any ROM update. I didn't install any new software, but suddenly my screen started to be unaccurate and shifted somehow. calibration helps but after while it's shifted again. I was thinking about updating ROM, but if this is not a solution, then I don't want to ...
Well I send my phone to repair. They said that it was a mechanical issue so I think you should send it also due it looks like this is the only way to solve this problem. I hope you still have your phone under guarantee...
Oh and make sure whether you need original ROM or you may use the changed one, because in Slovenia you need stock ROM and no programs installed (like Garmin etc.). So the best think to do is to hard reset the phone and then send it to repair, so you don't have any problems...
I have been having some problems with my leo where i cannot unlock it after coming out of standby. The screen just freezes.
And sometimes when i press the END button to get it out of standby, the key lights come on, but nothing else happens.
Apparently others have this issue too! - check out u-tube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqJw5omurLA
Has anyone else had this or still having this? Do i have to return my phone for another one?
Have you tried a hard reset?

Haven't had the issue. Vaguely read about this somewhere else, might be related to the default WM 6.5 lockscreen. Disable it and try something like S2U2 and see if u still have the same issue.
I have same problem with my device. Is this software or hardware problem? I have to do hard reset, and after that display can be stack. So I have to do soft reset, and phone working. It happens to me 2 times in one day, both times after I have been in room with very bad signal. Maybe that can produce problem. Symptoms are same as on YouTube video.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
i face this b4, it happend few times a day. but after i do hard reset the problem is solved. i think should be installed something conflict with the phone or inproper amended some registry
i used to have this but now it is less common after I have installed WMTask to Close applications when I hit "X" (instead of WM just minimizing the app). In effect it frees up memory and hopefully does cause your HD to struggle for memory when waking up?
guys,
for your info, I installed a new ROM and this didnt help. So it is NOT a SOFTWARE issue. I returned my phone for a new replacement unit and no more issues.
Sorry to say but if u have this problem u need to send your phone back.
I now have no more issues!
Mine has been doing this a lot. Turning it back on just results in the keys lighting up and nothing more.
Work around is to turn on so keys light up, hold down power key until lights all go off, then press power key again ... it will come back to the lock screen.
Thanks for your prompt answer.
It is not seems as memory problem, because if I remove and return battery problem stay. Maybe it can be problem with display driver. Also it is a little strange that after hard reset, I have to do soft reset to get it work again. I not like to change rom version, because it can void my guaranty, and maybe it is hardware problem.
Mine does exactly the same thing once it gets warm. Decided to return it after trying multiple hard resets. ROM changes and S2U2. Made no difference.
As I've joked on this forum before (although it's true), I had to put mine in the freezer to get the screen to work again so it sounds to me like a hardware issue.
Mine's going back for a replacement next week...
HTC HD2 freezes quite often Solution

Well thanks for the solution so if we get that bug , just put your brand new HTC HD2 on the freeser lol
I had similar problem four mornings in a row. Hardware keys would light up but screen dead. Soft reset got it going again, and a hard reset made no difference, even without reinstalling my softwares (I had a clock alarm set for each morning, maybe this is just coincidence). Someone on another forum with a similar issue suggested installing MemMaid, and for me this has worked. Running a regular 'clean' has meant that the problem has not returned, for three days now. So far! I notice that every clean finds many duplicate or invalid 'notifications', not sure if these somehow accumulate and cause the device to crash? Maybe worth trying? So problem for me at least is software related. HTC need to sort this as it is really annoying, and MemMaid is only free as a trial.

I am not quite sure that is software problem, if you done hard reset, and display still not respond on touch.
Soft or hard reset could clear the problem, I just mean that a hard reset didn't avoid the problem coming back. My current ROM is the official 1.48, didn't have this issue on the previous official ROM.
I got confirmation from service today, that it is hardware issue with phone display.

How do you know if youre phone should be replaced? Does it happen every time?
This happens to me every so often.
ya, I'm experiencing this as well. real drag!
The same thing happened to me aswell.
I recieved a message and when I tried to unlock the screen, nothing happened. The hardware keys worked but the screen didn't register my touches.
Tried soft reset, didn't work. Removed battery for a while, didn't work. Hard reset, didn't work. Flashed official ROM from HTC, didn't work.
It's been sent for repair. Hope I get it back quickly
I actually don't. But I insist to get phone replaced. I wrote appeal to company where I buy phone. Also I wrote down S/N and IME so I can check if I get new one.
Got the exact same problem, have been complaining about this in different topic here.
Sometimes couldn't unlock screen for many hours... then suddenly works again.
I've tried everything : decreasing/inscreasing screen sensitivity with reg, removing the screen lock, stopping the weather animation as suggested, putting a second finger in a corner while touching the screen : NOTHING WORKS
The only thing i'm convinced : it IS a hardware problem.
When the screen didn't react at all for some hours, sometimes playing with its humidity could help for a few minutes only ( by cleaning the screen with some special wet lcd cleaner or cleaning the screen with some humidity from my breath).
Also i'm travelling a lot (several countries a week)... and noticed THE PROBLEM APPEARS IN COUNTRY WHERE HUMIDITY IS HIGH. (that's also the reason why freezer could help. in a freezer, it's so cold, that the humidity is not in the air anymore, but is in ice state).
MAYBE SOME GOOD NEWS:
I recently bought the HTC screen protection for the HD2 (5 days ago).
Thanks to it, Air humidity doesn't touch the screen directly anymore.
And the problem hasn't appeared, not even once!
I just arrived a few hours ago in the country where i always had the problem (cause of its high humidity), and guess what ? Screen is still working great
I'll keep u up to date if problems come back.... but for now, i really think this is the solution (with logical explanation).

Hello.
First post here and hoping someone out there has a solution for my issue.
My HD2 gets stuck on the "quietly brilliant" screen every time I try to boot it. The only thing which happened directly before was that the battery was low and it switched off. This has happened before, but usually when I plug it in to charge it can just turn back on, or if not plugged in then tries to turn on but turns off again. The amber light comes on when it's plugged in to the charger, and it has been charged for enough time that it should turn on as normal.
I'm not as tech-minded as most of you so I'm kinda fumbling around trying to make something work.
I have tried:
Soft reset (multiple times, at different points in the loading (ie when it has the red writing bottom left before freezing, during "quietly brilliant" animation, and after freezing.
Turning on with memory card out.
Turning on with sim card out.
Turning on while plugged into charger.
Turning on when plugged into usb.
The phone will not:
Boot fully
register when plugged into PC
But it will enter bootloader mode (did I get the right terminology? With the Colour banding?)
When in this mode it either displays "Serial" or "USB" (if connected to PC)
I'm desperately trying to avoid a hard-reset as I've spent quite a long time manually entering contacts etc which aren't backed up (all would be lost ) and getting twitter/youtube/facebook all that jazz set up, along with programs and BSB tweaks, Dutty's task manager etc etc set up.
Have also spent time changing the theme with HDWall, and removing curtains/backgrounds etc with the TOUCH X tweaks. I've finally got my phone just how I want it...the biggest thing, of course is losing all of my contacts though.
I just have a HTC rom installed (can't remember what it was called, but nothing fancy, just the normal one to replace my TMobile rom).
Would really appreciate some advice/insight into what is going on and what I can do to sort it. Please help!

p.s. yes, I realise it was very stupid to not back up contacts...really really stupid. That will be the first thing I do once this is sorted!!
Oh and it won't turn off using the hang-up button when it's frozen-I have to remove the battery.

If you use Exchange, all your contacts are stored in Exchange...which has the immediate benefit of backing them up, and the other benefit of making them sync with Outlook/OWA.

Hi there,
Thank you for your reply, I'll bear that in mind next time. But for now - how would I be able to check this? I'm really not sure if I set this up. Can I check it on my PC? I have Office 2007.
N
Ok...so I've found some of my contacts in my Outlook. Guess they weren't updated very recently but at least some are there. I can do a hard reset if I MUST...but please does anyone know of anything else I can try?
And if I leave it overnight is it best to leave it frozen/switched off/charging/battery out?
Will head off to bed soon as it's nearly midnight here and I've got work tomorrow.

Try to flash with another radio, you don´t miss your contacts if you do.
Some roms block with some radios.
hope it solves your problem
Ok, I'm going to try it. Found the old .nbh file and it was the 1.66 rom. So just trying to find the right radio one now. Thank you for the tip
Have tried 2 different Radio versions now and still sticks on the same screen on satrtup...is it hard reset time?
Feel like I'm speaking to myself here!! Ah well!...an update. DId a hard reset, and my lovely HD2 is alive and well (albeit looking far too "fresh out of the box"). While I'm at it with nothing back...is there a "better" standard ROM than 1.66 to be using? Anything newer? I'm never sure about these things.
Thanks for your patience and consideration guys...I'm a bit of a noob girl when it comes to these things!
Sound like you've installed a customized ROM. If its the case try to find out what is the best Radio for that ROM and re-install it.
So, my aunt gave me a hd2 she found yesterday and i currently have no idea on how to fix it and to make it usable. Currently the phone is able to charge with an orange light poping up. However, when i try turning it on, It vibarates once and only a black screen lights up. I tried googling the problem and so far, trying to hard reset or run bootloader only results in a black screen. Is the phone fubar or is there any hope of fixing it? thank you in advance.
plug it into a usb on PC with WMDC installed & run a rom updater & see if detects device.
Some links for HTC roms can be found in wiki & also the hard rest & bootloader key sequence ...
Make sure you know what what model you got before commencing with actual flashing though.
Too many Hd2 T-Mobile USA (TMOUS) die in the hands of the noob so read first ...

IMO it's more likely to be a faulty LCD or something related to(a faulty LCD motherboard connector)...
Could be, does it detect in WMDC, have you tried MyMobiler (link in my sig).
If turn it on do any buttons seem to function, doyou get any audio feedback when volume pressed up & down ?
could it be karma ?
where did your gran find phone ?
