OLTP begs for sympathy

Hi,
This is just one big cry for sympathy.
I know it's my own fault, it slipped from my cold fingers. But now my magician is stone dead, no blinking led anymore, no activity when connected with usb, nothing when you press the power button, soft-reset or whatever. I removed the battery & the sim, inserted it again, nothing happens :-(. Now it just feels strange, sort off naked without my magician on my side, no 7*24 web-access anymore :-(
So any response is welcome, even if you call me names. If you got any idea how to solve this pls let me know. Otherwise it will be going off to the repair center tomorrow afternoon. I'm even thinking what my replacement will be: a wizard, a prophet or just wait till the HSDPA devices come out this year.
Refards, M

hi oltp,
sorry to hear that (
i'm with you...
bad, bad, bad..
i'd better wait for small factor HSDPA/HSUPA device...
my hima was dead once, and those three weeks were like eternity...
buzz

Tnx buzz,
Three weeks without it, only the idea makes my wanna cry & all shivery. I think I'll follow your advice, but first wait & see what the repair center will do. If I'm very lucky it will be repaired under warranty, it's still covered by it. Only normally not valid for this kind of damage :-(

Good luck

Small update: Went to the shop I bought it at last june. Good news it's covered in a two year warranty & they ship it for free to the repair center. Bad news they needed the invoice as well & I didn't bring it with me. They didn't even wanted to check their computers to see what data is in there about my magician or whatso-ever :-( Now I've got to go back tomorrow again & they take around ten working days to fix it, so a three week period without magician will be reality I guess.
Man I do feel stupid.

What are these devices?

HSDPA & HSUPA
Those are the next generation devices. Now we got GPRS, which will be replaced by UMTS, which will be replaced by the even better HSDPA.

Hi oltp,
Thats really really sad to hear and i know how incomplete it feels when we are without our device, even for a day..
Anyway hope everything goes fine under warranty.
But i heard that warranty expires if you do a ROM upgrade or a patched Big Storage. Hope the repair centre doesnt finds it out.
Il pray for you, don't worry..
Regards
Carty..

Hi Carty,
Thanks man indeed I'm worried about the 'minor changes' made to my device. The rom-upgrades I've done don't worry me the least, cause they were all TMO supplied, but the other changes might be dubious. I've send it in wednesday and the lovely lady at the desk assured me it will all be ok, maybe they'll give me an other one she even said. Nothing heard anymore since then, which is normal in my opinion. So now I count the days...
Regards, M

Last update on this:
I got a NEW magician, they covered it under warranty & I'm about the happiest person on the forum for today. Course I got the patch the rom to BIG Storage again to be able to restore my backup properly, but that's peanuts. & I need to buy a new screen protector, which will be delivered tomorrow. The old one wasn't returned & I didn't want to make a great fuss about it. They're actually sending me a new standard one, but I like the Brando ones more.
Thanks everone for feeling with me.
Cheers for now, M

Congratulations! Getting a replacement for free is something that doesn't happen in many countries. Just take good care of your new baby. :lol:

You bet I will ;-)

Touch screen problems, who else?

Trying to find out if my cases are just really bad luck or are there really issues with the touch screen on the HERO!
Bought my phone in October 2009 and now have the bring in the phone for the 5th time to HTC. My son has also an Hero and he faces the same problems.
Symptoms:
- lower region no or very bad response, almost unable to use the backspace in sms
- about 9 mm from the bottom the whole screen no response
- screen starts flipping/switching between the different menu screens
For my phone the lcd already 3 times replaced and for my son once.
When I brought in my phone last time I asked them if there where people like me who have the same problems with the touch screen and they assured me there where no screen problems!!!
I really getting tired of going to HTC service centre and have to wait one week before my phone comes back, last time even almost 2 weeks.
I do like the phone but with these kind of problems I wonder just bad luck or is there something wrong with the design?
Didn't drop the phone once, would say I am a heavy user including mobile network sharing function.
Use stock rom and have installed facebook and yahoo. Don't even dear to put the phone in my pocket because I am afraid that would cause the problems.
Who has similar experience and is willing to share. Would like to find out more before I send a big complain letter to HTC?
5-May Update:
Today received a brand new Hero from HTC. All new except the back cover
hope this one last a bit longer
Thanks

Many people have had this problem. Mine was sent to HTC, 3 months ago or so. Haven't had the problem since.
Maybe your repair-center uses the wrong (old) acreens.
Mine was sent to HTC Belgium. I live in the Netherlands.

same here...got my phone about 3 month ago...I had loaded alot apps when I first got the phone. and the lower part of screen was DEAD at one point. Hard reset that's all I did and works fine for the last few months

tkrewinkel, mach2005, have you flashed a custom ROM or smth? (threkwinkel i know you mention that u've used a stock rom.. but your not clear if you've used a custom ROM and revert back to the stock one .. )

The problem does not apear when the screen is cold. After a while when the screen is at full brightness it gets warmer and the problem gets worse. HTC told me that they had to repair a lot of devices and it is a common hardware-problem. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the ROM-version you are on!

same for me here, sending the phone right now to htc

Why did you ask that question ? Do you think that custom ROM may cause that problem with our hero screen ?

I had the same issue and posted earlier in the forum..i never installed custom rom but for some reason the screen wasnt responsive enough and had a tough time sending mails n msgs..returned it to htc and got it repaired.
my hero is working perfectly and looking fwd to the 2.1 update

Yeah i know...in my case it appeared just after changing my rom...i had an overclocked kernel...
I think i'm gonna use my warranty..
:sad:

I had exactly the same issue in the region of the screen you stated (bottom right). It has been repaired once so far. I hope it doesn't happen every few months!

Can we have on general thread for these touch screen problems.
It is a common issue i believe. I want to know if the htc phones that were send for repairs came across the same problem again?

Touchscreen Dead

Well it's been a helluva ride, my HD2, after nearly two years of faithful service, my touchscreen finally killed my phone. I can't even get past the lockscreen on my phone, so now it's time to move on. I'll see about getting a Nexus S or something but thanks to all the devs here and all of the community here for their wonderful advice. If it sounds like i'm giving up, unless someone here can provide a solution, i realize that cellphones have a two year shelf life anyway.

Me too.... I've tried to restore stock WM6.5 and touch-screen stills not working.... Any idea from anyone??? I still believe that it's not hardware issue. The phone doesn't fall down... I hadn't any problem, 'till yesterday.... Please.. someone.. ;(

It happened to me. I replaced the digitizer/LCD and have been good since.

P.s. I hadn't ever dropped my phone or even scratched the screen when mine stopped responding.

You must replace screen.. no other solution :\

There are many things that made your touch stop working..for example:
humidity!!!! the eternal enemy of electronics...
Maybe while you were taking a bath..you got your phone playing music for you...THATS DEADLY!!
Humidity its the first thats got in my mind...if you got your HD2 pimped with android try installling wm6.5 again...if nothing happens..then its no software...!!!
The HD2 has the most "pain in ass" touchscreen ever made.....its a nitemare for technicians haha!! so i dont recommend you to try replacing it yourself
R.I.P. for you HD2 mate...and peace all over

I just bought a used HD2 that needs a new touch screen. It was weird because I bought the phone then 10 mins later the screen stopped working. I think it wasvjust epically bad timing, because the HD2 is in GREAT condition, but the phones are growing in age so the digitizer must have died.
I live in the Boston, Ma area and I'm going here to have my phone repaired...
http://www.megamobileboston.com/cell_phone_repairs.html
They sounded great on the phone and they actually list the HD2 specifically under screen repair on their website which is the first time I've ever seen that. So if you're driving distance from Boston, Ma, they will repair your HD2 screen for about $100.

yeah... i am on my second HD2 now, the first one died, the screen died twice, but it is covered under manufacturer warranty, and that is two years, so if you have had yours since december of 09, you are still in warranty i suppose.... you should give them a call and get it replaced... but if you are hspl'd then you should get rid of that before sending it back

wait, there may only be a one year warranty, because mine expired in june.... and the phone hasnt even been out for two years.... lols, silly me..... oh well, to the guy who posted above me, it is worth giving htc a call to see if your phone might be under warranty, because the screen ish is annoying, mine died a second time 3 months after being replaced...

I just got off the phone with HTC USA...they said a screen repair not under warranty is around $120....motherboard repair can be up to $290..cosmetic dings on the casing can be anywhere from $50-$150
Their prices considering the retail value of the phone...seem fair, and they are VERY thorough, they'll clean and replace EVERYTHING. But they don't pay for shipping if ur not under warranty so it's cost of repair plus about $20.
BTW - haven't been on the forums for about a year and it feels good to be back. Once I get the HD2 up and running i'll be contributing a lot to the Android forums and the HD2 forums I'm a designer and developer myself.

Exactly brother.... humidity is the worst enemy ever.

I had this problem a while ago while i was running wm6.5. I just did a factory reset and everything was fine. It happened again while running android cm7 and i did a task29 and it was fine again. Ive been happily running a custom rom ever since! hope this helps...

[Q]Continuous Hard Resets

happy new year guys.
(i hope there are still people around this forum.)
guys i have a lot of problems with my trinity.
the first is random hard resets. i cant undetstand why and when they happens. the othe one is that yesterday my. screen went off after doing some weitd stuff.
so i am wondering if all that have to do with a danaged battery?
if that's so i can buy a new one and keep going. on the other hand if the damaged is somewhere else then it would be a waste of money to buy a new battery.
i would like to hear everything that comes to ur mind.
thanks guys,
have a nice 2013

it could be caused by operation of the existing system on the device you've messed up or damaged, you should try to re-flash rom first

ok i ll try to reflash the rom although i dont think it is the caused.
anyway i ll be back.

I reflashed but it doesn't seem to be the problem. i think that this is happening after it get hot . and not extremelly hot but when you keep it on for 15min or so.
anyway . i recall that all these happens after a day that i have forgot it in the car facing the sun with a new battery and the charger plugged . when i got back in the car i could hardly keep it in my hand for 5 sec. the baterry couldn't be touched at all. frrom that time ( almost two years ago ) the same sympton when i try to use this phone.
i think this is a hardware (desoldering) problem but i dont now what chip and where is it ....!
any tips would be much appreciated.

Sure, "your brother" .. :eyesroll:
Well, if it is really a tmo device and "your brother" flashed an incompatible radio (would be good if you were to provide the full name of the file) then your device is indeed bricked. The only way to fix it is by connecting directly (jtag).

Yes my bro

Come On Marvlesz (your brother & eyesroll ) a bit too much i mean i didn't even get my phone before a week ago because it slipped out of my pocket before boarding a flight to egypt thats the only reason on this planet that allowed him to toy with it if he was here he would be in hospital for toyin with my stuff ...
BACK TO THE SUBJECT AND ENDING MY LIFE STORY.
As for the file names that would be impossible because i have a 3 gig folder for the htc hd2 roms / radios / etc i think that he just flashed the wrong radio on top of the "clk" without using task 29 formatting or even reinstallinf the original wm 6.5 before installing wp 7 so to many things and when i ask he says i did what u do every time !!!! AS IF..
Will i pick it up from the repair shop tomorrow not tonight i hope they fix any way reporting pack tomorrow .. // Bye
