[Q]Elf freezes with official & cooked ROM?

Hello!I got a HTC elf for about 2 months and i got some problems with him for about some time it freezes from sudent without doing anything and sometimes the power goes off and doesn`t want to turn on anymore,i do not know what to do with him now.Please help me
PS: The phone is bought second-hand in case it helps but this happens only for about 2 weeks

man HTC touch elf phones are quiet delicate also (from its back side).
i believe you might have fallen it somewhere hence its back side of the phone has become loose so hence it would loosen up the battery...every tym you pressure at its back side I to had a similar enigma, i just tighten the back part and later it worked properly..

Anyone can give me some more details about this kind of problem and solution to this please maybe a tutorial with pictures?

did u drop your phone?? i used to drop my phone alot aswel and so had the problems of turning off time snd again too! probably th battery has loosen abit..try keepin a thin paper/cover over th batt/under the batt cover to make it fit tight! about the freezing problems i didnt have any..might b bcoz ur phone is old(2nd hand) - or having inner circuit problems maybe!

It felt for about 2 times but was with the housing on it and i do not think it had suffered anything but i will try tomorrow to put something on the back cover of the battery to see if it has any results.And about the problem with freezeing i disasambled the mainboard and made it with contact spray so i don`t think it does that because it isn`t make a good contact something or things like this,and the problem is that it does power on very hard after the freezing and sometimes it just goes off from sudent and do not want to power on any more.The phone is SH but when i bought it it didn`t had any of this problems

Hello again!I have tried your ideea with putting something betwean the battery and the back cover but it steel freezes do not know what to do with it anymore!please help me solve this problem!!!(

probably the plastic piece will solve ur problems.

I allready tried this and for a moment i thought the problem was solved but after abot 3h the device was power off but after yesterday (cuz sunday i disasambled the device) i didn`t happened anymore but today the device was low battery and i do not know why cuz yesterday morning i took him from the charge..very bizzar isn`t it?:-?

Mine started to have the same problem, I have it for two years and no problems until now. I cared about it very well, so no fall-downs or scratches. I updated everything in SW I could but it doesnt solve the problem. I also replaced the battery, no effect. I think it will be electronic issue. Wish someone could help us...

Hi,
I think I had the same problem:
- the phone froze in standby (sometimes after 30min, sometimes after more than 5 hours).
- if standby is disabled it NEVER froze (but i had to charge battery one a day).
flashing was no solution (tried blue elves, onyx and tess).
i shipped it to htc-repair-center three times, but they could not repair my device (altough they tried and shipped it back to me DEFECTIVE).
Now I have a replacement Elfin which works perfectly.

So nobody has a solution for this?

Has anyone found a solution for this cuz i tried the plastic thing but nothing seems to solve the problem i disasambled the elf and put contacts spray wd40 on it and heated but nothing the phone still goes off and freezes i still use the plastic things over the processor but i think that it does this because the processor is overheated and thats why it freez and turn off and do not whant to turn on maybe someone had tested to put a piece of aluminium in stead of the plastic thing to cool the processor?

I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.

Sounds a lot like you may need a new screen/digitizer. Does any rings appear on screen, i.e. newton rings?

no , no rings appear on screen
but i feel that the digitizer is little bit up from the lift side thats it
this is matter??
thanks for ur replay

Sounds like the datacabel has been broken... or it moved a little bit which causes the troubles.
I think now it moved to fare so no data gets to the phone.
If you know how, try to open it in order to check the connection.
Let me know if you got it or have questions.
(I hope you understand my english) Otherwise i´m going to say it other words.)

anyway thanks alot for ur help and if u can answer me for this question this will be great

Hehe, thats good!
As i didn´t open mine yet i have no pictures nor could find any on internet. But when you know how to open the phone (the screws on the back) you might be able to fix it by checking the cabel. Befor doing this take a look how the cabel looks like (ebay offers them) So you know where to look at. If your unsure how to do it aske someone to do it.
btw you aren´t form germany, are you? In case you are i could offer you to take a look at it or maybe also fix it.

thanks man v. much , no i'm from egypt . i like ur country
anyway i will try to find this screw driver and then i will start to open it .
but anyway u dont think its from the digitizer ????? right?

If there arent any bigger scratch i don´t think so. because it would cause, that nothing would work at all but you said it did a couple of times although it was a bit wrong.
The other thing is, that i canßt imagine that the Hardware (the board) is broken because this normaly cause bigger damage and could easly effect the other chips and functions on you phone.
This leads me to my conclusion that the data cabel might be broken or isn´t anymore plugged in.
Please sent some sunshine to germany. I could need some between all the ice and snow ;-)

yeah , i have alot of it here more sunshine and more hot
yes now i can understand . u r right . what u said is logic , i will start on it and i will let u know .
thanks alot man i really appreciate that much, seems like i have new friend

Hermes and water :(

Hey guys , i need some help here..
I dropped my Jasjam in the water , and now i've got a lot of problems :
1 - My Keyboard backlight sensor ain't working anymore , the keyboard is lit all time , this is really annoying and eating my battery , a fix , software , anything ?
2 - The Keyboard keys r going crazy , ex. when i press v it writes dv , when i press e it writes eg , when i press "space" it writes "c " , this is very annoying too coz i can't use it to write and i hate touch writing.
Both r hardware probs , i know , but maybe there is a software fix or something for the first prob.
Is there a way around prob 2 without opening the phone coz i can't do that , is there a way i can dry the water beneath the keys or something
BTW : i've tried hardreset , different roms , keyboard layout , etc. nothing worked.
Help Plzzzzz

I hope, you took the battery out as soon as it was possible...
Take it out again, and let it dry for a couple of days. It's still wet inside.
You might also use a hairdryer, but carefully, don't fry it!
If this doesn't help, you'll have to go to a store equipped with an ultrasonic cleaner.

Sorry mate but you'll really want to open that phone, especially the plastic cover.
You just need to find a torx screw driver with sizes between 1-5 [I forgot the specific ones you'll need] and a tiny frearson screw driver [that the + shaped hole].
Considering the age of the TyTN, it's probably no longer under warranty anyway.
Air drying without opening it can take months, seriously

Thanks all ,
Sadly , i didn't remove the battery at all.
I don't know if it's still wet , i mean the phone is working fine just the keyboard light and crazy keys problem.
Sadly too , i can't seem to find this screwdriver here in Egypt
And yes of course , the warranty is no more.
I may try the hairdryer , hope it works...
BTW : what plastic cover do u mean ??
Again thnx 4 help guys ...

Ive fixed a few "wet" phones (even my own old tytn 1 that fell into a river) by turning it of as soon as possible, take everything apart(stylus, battery,sd-card etc) shake as until all visible water is gone and put it all into a bowl of rice. that has fixed 2 phones, the other 4(inluding my tytn 1) i had to disassamble totally(unscrew,take apart housing,disconnecting flatcables and so on) and then put all parts into a kitchentowel and then onto a plate and into my kitchenown on about 60 degrees celsius for few hours - assemble and voila =) truth be told, it dosnt always work but i just might.
good luck

remove your battery ASAP
Electric + water = corrosion
when this happened to me with mp3 player, I put it in the car for 3 days.
when parking in the outside, The car gets to 50-60 degree inside (Even more)
if your phone is in the car, it will dry, no damage will happen to it.

hd2 dark screen

i got a crash i resetted ther phone .
after that phone works but the screen stays verry dark.
as if the backlight is broken.
i can see verry little on screen since its just so dark.
phoen works i can get phone cals etc but i just cant see a thing.
whats the problem . is my screen broken ?

please explain the word "crash".
did it fell down or did just windows crash?
if windows crashed and it didnt fall down, you can call htc or go to the shop where you bought it.
DN41

i got an sms .
then phone stopped working .
the touch screen didnt work anymore and i had to take the battery out.
i put it back in and turned on phone.
phone worked but screen stayed dark , i can see something things on screen but its verry dark.
now i put it on the charger and battery was goin empty verry fast even thoug it was on the charger it didnt seem to recharge .
while in the charger the phone was getting verry hot also . so i cant do a thing now .
edit .
im thinking isnt it just possible that since the battery looks dead, that the screen just isnt getting enough power to be lighter ?
since both problems came at the same time i guess they must be connected in some way .
i mean is it possible that a new battery solves the problem or isnt it worht ordering a new battery ?

CRashed ...from a window
My phone crashed too... Crashed onto a carpetted floor from a window (about 5 feet) while being charged, and landed on the edge of a barbell. What was it doing there u ask? I wanted to get the best 3g reception thats why. I use it as my main modem/router y'see...
Yes i got a really dark screen too, and two vertical bright lights. the screen was alright, no cracks, nothing. but the buttons was dented since it landed on the barbell(which was on the floor ).
Sent to the shop and told me it'll cost me about 170usd to fix the lcd,..and said it's gonna cost another 50 usd to fix the touch screen. Knowing the shop was b.s'ing since i know the lcd could just be the only one affected so i plan to buy just the lcd. did a few practice disassembly, and eventually after the 3rd disassembly and reassembly the screen was completely dark...even if it did lit up, i cant see any image.. so i guess i'll just get the lcd+touch screen. since i dont wanna go through the hassle of soldering the fine connection anyway, i decided to buy the lcd+touchscreen online cositng about 140usd..
well, obviously mine's a hardware problem.. Buy yeah I'd say that the hd2 is sooooooooo fragile, your hd2 problem might be mainboard related.
ps. still waiting for my replacement lcd+touch.. who knows if mine is motherboard related too(since the buttons get hot, but i can still recieve calls+use as a modem)

if you can see the screen at all, you might check your backlight settings to make sure they didn't reset to like 10%.
Otherwise, I would take it in to get fixed. Sounds like the backlight died.
Have you hard reset to make sure it isn't a software issue?
