I have problem with my camera after changing whole Main Board in Service. Unfortunately I didn't tested camera with orignal ROM so I don't know if it's HW problem or WM6 problem.
Picture is broken to (mainly) green boxes (see attachments). It already happend with my previous MB and WM6 ROM, but problem disappeared without any intervent from outside. Any Idea what it is and what to do?
I got the same Problem
I got the same problem still trying to find a fix.. flashed my rom a few times and still no change ruuning schap's 4.00 wm6.
Hope to find a solution..
It looks like a software fault but how or were can one find a fix..
I got the same but before it was working fine :s could be because i dropped it a few times to many? not sure though works fine on black satin but now i got the the green blocks to
That does not look like anything to do with the ROM or indeed any software setting. I'd say that's a hardware matter - BUT hopefully just the connection between camera and m/board. If you have no guarantee/warranty then I suggest removal of and refitting the camera.
You'll need to remove the scroll wheel assembly first.
Scroll wheel assembly removed exposing the camera multi-connector. (This connection is the problem I think).
Make sure this connector is flat and firmly inserted.

This happens to me occasionally. normally when the battery is low.
Though it did happen for a little while after my phone decided it needed to go play in a puddle last christmas. Once it dried out it was fine
i got this when i dropped my handset at first after i dropped this. with with a bit of brute force and a few dropps after it works fine again
Like the above post saying it it nothing to do with the rom or any software it is the connection between the camera and motherboard

Weird! Mine doesn't have this issue, I've tried the Notes line drawing test.
Neither do I..
Go get a replacement, it might be a faulty device. Not sure what's the point here. It is not a problem with the device, it's a problem with YOUR device.
To be fair mine did do it every once in a while, thought it was perhaps sumthing I had on my finger (oil/grease/water/sweat whatnot) however, desensitised the screen and popped a screen protector on it and it's 100% reliable now..
The first video is not mine so it is NOT my device problem and i tested on another hd2 and it made the same thing. That's why i came up with the touchscreen tweak you find on the tips and tweaks sticky but even that do not solve it 100%.
It has been confirmed has software problem like the pink camera here.

that was my exact thought but with a screen protector i could make it do that so i quitted on it at the end.
Good to know i'm not alone here.
Same problem with mine, have applied the touchscreen tweak and aligned the screen which does make it a little better. Maybe the 1.48 rom will fix it and the camera when its officially released.
dude that is exactly what i got. its hard to write one word without the need to correct it. the keyboard is such a horror. it was easier to write on my diamond. im still thinking about to get money back, ask for a replacement or wait for an update.
Unfortunately rom 1.48 does not solve touchscreen problem nor camera pink issue.
So it's a hardware problem ?

Why don't you take your phone back and go get an iPhone instead? Complaining about it here isn't going to help any and it's not, as far as I can tell, a general issue as plenty of people do not see this effect (myself included).
just tried 2 of the tests on mine and i do not get any of the problems.
I just got an HD2 a couple of days ago on O2 in the UK. I have the stock 1.43 ROM at the moment and have this keyboard jitter really bad too . Should I ring O2 and get a replacement, or is a new ROM likely to fix it?
Cheers.
I remember reading a thread about this back when the HD2 was released, but I haven't really thought about it until now.
Since I bought it on the release date, I've been having problems typing on my HD2. The keyboard seems over sensitive and not accurate. When I press one letter, I genereally get the one next to it. When I try and delete the accidental character, I end up typing a heap of L's, M's and P's!
If I do the screen re-alignment it seems to be better for a while, but then after a reboot (which you need to do every couple of days with WinMo!) it goes bad again.
I hate texting now and entering passwords is impossible! I've got to the point where sometimes I want to throw the damn thing away.
I've had 2 iPhones, and HTC Touch Diamond and Touch HD previously so I know its not me. If I try my father-in-laws HD2, I can work it no problem.
I contacted HTC who told me to try a Hard Reset - but as I flash ROMS frequently I know this isn't going to make a difference. They said to contact them if the Hard Reset doesnt work and send the phone in for repair.
Obviously I'll need to reflash a stock ROM first!
Has anyone sent their phone back and what happened? Did it get fixed, and how long does it take?

i have the shaking screen issue when zooming and i cannot detect if it is hardware issue or software or it is normal
Search for "weird touchscreen behaviour".
If you send it back to HTC they'll change the screen and it will come back fixed, or they'll do something random and it won't.
I don't think its just you, I have similar issues! I'm learning to type slower, and there are some links in the tips & hints thread that may help.
I reflashed back to the stock ROM and surprise surprise, same problem.
I emailed HTC back who then said it would have to come back for repair.
They said to phone them to arrange, so its all set up - being collected by UPS tomorrow. Hopefully it will all get sorted.
On another note - I'm now using an old Nokia 3600 Slide while my HD2 is all packed up. I'm loving having an old keypad again! Texting is a delight again, and the small form factor of this phone is great. Its a shame the screen is tiny and the Opera Mini functionality is poop!!
If HTC did a modern version of the Touch Dual with a big touch screen and a slide out keyboard then I'd buy one in a flash! Maybe I'll get a Touch Pro 3 when it comes out
did you try this?? it works for me.Hope it helps

I have been using that - or a similar one - for the last few months, which helps a bit. The problem isn't the sensitivity though, its the accuracy of the screen. When I press 'P' I get 'O', or 'R' I get 'E'. Its like its not quite lined up correctly.
hmm... I had exactly the same problem,but just because screen was too sensitive and this cab helped. Have you also tried align screen??
If this one won`t help I think your fingers are too big (sorry,joke)

all my friends iphones have this issue but less than hd2 i think it is capastive screen issue
Sent mine back to O2, not HTC. I was getting light blotches on the screen in various places, they were very prominent when displaying light colours and they were getting gradually worse. Got it back yesterday and it looks brand new.
Did you flash the phone back to stock at all?
Yes, you need to remove the HSPL and that can only be done by flashing a stock rom from the memory stick - USB flashes the stock rom but leaves the HSPL intact. If you don't they will send it back to you saying the warranty is void. As well as replacing my screen they upgraded the stock O2 rom I had on it so they obviously check the software even if it's a hardware issue you have sent it back for. It goes without saying the first thing I did when I opened the box was replace the HSPL and flash Xannytech's Evolution.
I know to get rid of it, was just wondering if you did
Touch wood never had to send mine back but at least they can't tell you've HSPL'd it in the past...

Not all HD2 have this issues, at default (without registry tweaks) was impossible to write anything for me.

You had a different kind of issue, should know if someone with shaking/poor accurancy screen has sent his phone back
Well folks... my phone was picked up last week by UPS and returned to me today.
Before sending it off I reflashed the stock ROM and got rid of HSPL.
I've tested it a bit and am very happy - so I'm now flashing my Miri ROM back on as I type! HTC have replaced 'LCM (LCD)' and replaced 'Rigid-Flex Board (FPC Board)' as their diagnostic stated 'Touch Panel function abnormally and Camera Flash Malfunction'.
Typing feels like it should as the key I hit is now the one that actually presses. I don't know about the camera as I haven't tried it yet - but I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
My only complaint is that the phone went in for repair with an HTC Screen Protector fitted, and they must've removed and refitted it - as its full of bubbles and knackered! Never mind - I'll order another one.
If anyone has the problems I described... contact HTC and get it sorted, as this is like using a new phone. Hopefully I won't feel the need to throw it again!
I'm mightily pissed off as I have just had to return my Leo back for the 2nd time with exactly the same problem as I had previously (see above). HTC and their crappy cheap LCDs must be costing them a lot of money.
I've been experiencing almost all the bugs in my HD2, last month i sent it back to HTC for repair.
They changed the touchscreen and display because they thought it wasn't bright enough (i didn't notice that).
I got it back a week ago and immediately saw that i now have a different touchscreen, more dots and diagonal lines can be seen.
All the problems are gone and i haven't been experiencing any problems the last week.
My Advise for people with touchscreen problems, have your touchscreen replaced !

i had the white blotches issue too and htc also replaced my screen under warranty (turnaround 11 calendar days) and paid carriage both ways; this despite my lacking a sales invoice, having bought the phone used on ebay and the moisture tab being tripped (which they also replaced).
a very good service from htc only slightly spoiled by the tech who reassembled my phone leaving a fingerprint on the *inside* of the camera lens cover glass which rather than sending it back to them again, i cleaned off myself by means of unscrewing the back panel.
I have HD2 since 2 months ago and it worked perfectly till a few days ago when the screen appears with some strange colors, not the normal ones. The touch screen works perfectly and the phone works ok. It's just that the colours are different from the original ones. Then after a few minutes or so it comes back to normal.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.
did it fell off the ground before ?
nope, never felt down
any idea?
maybe your LCD flexband/cable is not tight fit in the slot..under the lcd-glass
had that before with sony cellphone
i would take it to service if you dont want to loose warranty.

yes, I a agree powerslave69
After receiving back my Laptop from repair's (manufacture). A week later your problem came about. It was discovered by manufacture on return that the 'Wire Tape' connection was lose at one end between graphics card and screen. So when the Laptop was first repaired it was overlooked that the connection not right when the manufacture put it back together.
Best to send It back right now and they should replace it with a new one
Problem gone !!
Had the same (I think) problem. The colours on the screen went "blurry" & lost it's sharpness. Took it to service and they just re-flashed it with the newest ROM. Don't think that's the right solution to the problem though...
i already tried to flash it with the newst rom available on htc web site but it didn't work.
I brought the phone to the service. I'll let you know.
Thank you.
just curious, did you happen to have a custom rom with 576MB of ram enabled?
see this thread h t t p : / / forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677979
no, it's the original rom. never applied a custom rom
Did you get this sorted out?
I think im having the same problem, since about a week ago i get horizontal bands of discolouration across the screen, at first it seemed to only affect Sense, but now any program running shows these bands of colour (like a purple colour band across the screen). Sometimes it is fine but now seems to be mostly like this.
Still on the original ROM...

Has anyone sorted out this issue ?? Cos now mine is having the same problems...
I have checked around on other forums and no one seems to have the problem.
oh, and my HD2 is out of warranty, so I hope it won't cost a fortune if ihave to get it fixed....
Sorry for digging up an old thread but:
another one with strange colors over here. White is whit, black is black, but green, red and blue look a lot "paler". The colors are much less vibrant then they used to be.
The backlight of my hardware powerkey stopped working a thesame time. Other hardware buttons are fine...
question is.. will this get fixed under warranty? Anyone had thesame issue and sent his phone out to be repaired?
same problem now and then...someone help
if i apply a little preassure near the bessels or the usb port...screen becomes normal but you can never say when the problem might appear again...help !

Seems like a loose contact on display ribbon cable. It happens after caring the phone long time in pockets usually in the summer when it's hot and sweat can enter in the phone. Contacts don't like moisture, in special sweat, it's corrosive. In addition, when caried in back pockets it will be slightly deformed and it is the second cause of that failure.
Strange colors on HD2 screen
I had a similar problem a while ago, horizontal green/yellow bands across the screen. At first it was intermittent but then became permanent. I had to send it back to HTC for a fix.
had problems with the screen on their legend
my wife has had her legend replaced 3 times now due to screen faults
it's all happened since the froyo upgrade ...... i suppose we cant complain because vodafone replace it everytime it goes wrong but the wife is getting un-happy with continually having to set her phone up every time it gets replaced
i had strange problem with screen, i boght mine used so i thought it might be defected from the beginning. but the previous owner(which had eclair said it was working fine) now after froyo, the screen is acting strange, not responding, or i dont know the perfect word, flickering or shivering.
i'll send it to htc egypt to see if this is hw or sw problem.
Yes, mine went to HTC for repair for a screen fault (dead column).
It's been fine since thou. Don't know if they are fitting an improved screen. Obviously Vodaphone just swapping out units might be worse, as clearly all the units on the shelves may have the same problem.
Try contacting HTC for repair directly, that might put an end to it.
