Hello everybody,
After flashing an Elfin Rom to my Elf, my Elf stuck at there colors screen. Vodafone-Shop was quite helpful and they sent me a new Elf
I have been using the new Elf for about 3 weeks and for the third time (happens almost one time in a week), my Elf does not recognize, that i press the power button. If the display was off, i see that the led blinks and even the long pressing of the power button does not change anything. The only solution was a soft reset. Today i lived it again, but this time the display was on and it did not turn off. Holding the power button for a few seconds and restarting was the solution.
Has anyone the same problem or any ideas why it can happen?
Thanks in advance...
Erkan
On my HTC Touch (P3451) I have the same problem: The phone randomly freezes in such a way that I have to do a soft reset. Also, when the phone is on stand-by, when I press the On/Off button (to turn the screen on) nothing happens... neither if I press any of the other buttons (green, red or camera),despite of this, the green led of the top still blinks... Some other times, it justs restarts by it's own, no matter what I'm doing (a few time during today screen, some other using office, a couple listening tu music, and a lot of times when it was on stand by in my pocket).
Also, the phone loses the cellular signal very often (I don't know if that is related to the freezing problem).
I've tried doing a hard reset an using it without any 3rd party programs installes, but the problem persist.
I tried taking it to the vendor in Lima (where I live), but they say that because thre's a small scratch on the case, the warranty is void...
I don't know what to do about this... Any suggestions? please?
This is a hardware problem, This problem is associated with faulty motherboard, and suddenly, in a few days you will notice that phone will stop getting power on, it generally happens when phone falls on hard surface from a height, may due some dislocation of micro soldering. Its better you report to service centre, if the phone the phone is in warranty, they will replace motherboard free of cost, only issue is your device IMEI number will change with motherboard replacement.
i think the problem was something to do with the software. i flashed the Junior version of Onyx ROM with Windows Mobile 6.1 to my Elf, which has YouTube and GoogleEarth preinstalled and is memory-friendly at the same time. Now my Elf does not freez anymore.
I think it's a software problem.
I flashed a lot of ROMs in my Elf but, after a flash version 3.1.1 of really great Onyx Sr., the phone starts to have a bad behavior. It's freeze a lot and the green led still blinks.
I will try to use normal light off and shutdown method instead of using ShutXP to try. But it's definitely a software problem.

HI marcosvafg,
i have done the same like you, marcosvafg. but unfortunately my touch is lost in black-screen-smart-moblity-screen-space. can you give me a detailed description what you have done to restart your mobile phone?
i did this:
- go into bootloader
- start to install new rom
but every rom i used i got an error (image is corrupted, wrong model ID). which rom did you use?
many thanks

I had a problem where my Elf started freezing almost after me entering the PIN. It is true that it got a rough drop just before doing it, but no serious damage was done to its skin.
I got it to the company and they changed the motherboard free of charge.
Hi guys,
i think gagandeepbains is right that this is a hardware problem. Because i lived it many times with some other cooked ROMs, and i can say that it is happening mostly when the temperature in the environment is low. maybe it is a reason, why this happens usually, when leaving the mobile on overnight...
after flashing my original ROM, i"ll give it back to Vodafone and ask for a change.
for you all, if you still have warranty, bring those back (and who knows, maybe you get an ELFIN instead of an ELF).
the same thing happened to my elf when i first got it back in august last year.
was a hardware problem, orange UK sent it to HTC for repair and i got it back 3 weeks later with a new motherboard in the phone,
also got a surprise to find that they had also upgraded the memory.
i sent in an elf and got an elfin back.
i thought that was a nice surprise
alright.
but to make sure, you can always upgrade to 03.21.90 radio.
thats the most stable one.
I had the same problem but with coocked roms (rarely with the original one)
early onyx roms had a bug with ELF but not in new roms
If still in warrenty try to change it again
Hi I have a o2 xda orbit also known as the HTC Artemis.
My phone keeps crashing into a white screen, So iv updated the rom to the Artemis Touch 4.01 and 4.02 rom update. it still crashes into a white screen.
Can anyone help, iv searched for the last 4 days trying to find a thread that may help. but cant find anything.
cheers Russ

Comon guys can nobody help me at all.

Update
Ok you guys are not much help at the moment so il give you an update on what im doing.
Iv done the cid unlock
updated the radio to 3.39.90
then update the os to ARTE_WM6.5__3_15_122_43__B21502
All works fine for 12hrs - 18hrs then it seems as i am playing with the phone it crashes
So i put the factory rom back on and started from scratch.
this rom does the same after some time playing about with the phone,
Crashes into a whit screen.
I have no idea what is going on.
I have read on this massive forum that it could be a CPU Reflow problem.
does anyone have a clue how to fix this so I can try it
Update
Hey peeps got the Orbit working.....
heres how i fixed the fading white screen.....
all you need to do is dismantle the phone and everything inside to get to the internal battery. its located under the screen in the top left corner.
My internal battery had blown open and started leaking also it was not giving out any power or charging.
This also caused other problems like the main battery not charging or device not turning on.
So I stoped the fading white screen by changing the internal battery
Many thanks Russ
Ok, so here's the problem, I've had Artemis v10 installed on my HD2 and it kept freezing up. so I took out the battery, placed it back in and now it wont get past the white HTC screen =[
I can however get in the tri colour bootloader screen.
Can anyone help me on how to get my phone working again...?
Thanks in advance!!!!
I'd say try to take out the battery again if you haven't done that.
Otherwise, a hard reset might be in order.
I often get a partial failure of the soft boot if the battery level is very low. Charging up to 25% or more usually solves it.

Have you tried asking in the Artemis thread?
I dont use this rom but im guessing you either havent flashed a radio or flashed a wrong radio, the thread shuold tell you which radios are compatible with the rom.
Hi folks,
any help with this is appreciated since I can't quite explain this problem to myself.
I have a HTC Touch Dual - last working rom was the WWE Insomnia release.
One day the screen suddenly went black - phone still functioning normally.
Hard resets appeared to solve nothing, the screen remained black.
At home I flashed the Original ROM back to the phone and screen worked again on reboot. Phone continued to work normal for some time.
After going to standby (screen turned off) the screen didn't turn back on again.
Also hard reset didn't work.
As for now, everytime I reflashed the phone with any rom (Original & Insomnia) the screen worked until a hard reset or standby mode.
Phone is running with HardSPL.
Any suggestions how to find reason for the black screen issue?
Google didn't help that much - only hint I found was reflashing the phone twice with the Original ROM which didn't help a lot...
Exactly same problem!! Insomnia ROM and strange screen behavior! Will try to restore original ROM.
Have anybody fixed it?
Oh, I have the same problem. Don't know if it's a hardware problem or software. I have unlocked and flashed many times. I also was thinking about a bad flash.
I had a strange issue recently with my build (below). I had a 'normal' data freeze and rebooted, but when I did, apparently a message was waiting and some appointment on my calendar was due. This seemed to really slow down WM and HaRET ran very slowly before booting Android. However, after Android booted, the touchscreen was locked and wouldn't slide out of the way. In fact, the screen darkened and shut off just as if I wasn't touching the screen at all. I did receive a phone call, which worked, but touchscreen was still unresponsive.
So I tried rebooting again. This seemed to lock up JMZ Dual Boot and not allow me to boot up Android. Moreover, it locked my touchscreen in WM! I have pocketshield installed, and after cover screen showed up, I couldn't move it away. I tried rebooting, taking the battery out for 5 minutes, etc. and no luck.
Ultimately, I resolved this by a HARD RESET of the phone. Lost my windows setup which will take some time to repair, but since I use Android most of the time, maybe it doesn't matter?
Anyway, posted this in case others are having this problem, maybe there's a theme.
editted: ok, touchscreen stopped responding again, in WM and Android, while the unit was just sitting on my desk. I'm now thinking hardware problem...
yes i have the same problem since a ~week. NO TOUCHSCREEN... i have flashed maybe 100 different roms, but no luck... even when i install the original vodafone rom with radio and downgrade to spl 1.48 it doesnt work... this must be an android issue i think.
yesterday i was in the vodafone shop and they give me an NEW HD2 ))))).
now im waiting for an solution about that problem and hope someone will fix it. untill that i will stay on WM6.x. i dont think, i will get another new HD2^^
sorry about my bad english! im german...
ps: when i started the hd2 there was an picture of an WORLD MAP for ~one second. maybe this helps. i think there is something in the front of the orange screen. something with "yes" or "no" option. but i cant see it.
