So here goes my story (I just hope someone will have enough patience to read all this I have underlined the important bits, if you're not in the mood of reading all this stuff, but could help anyway)..
Bought an used HTC Magic (Vodafone branded) from eBay UK for £175 in absolutely mint condition, no signs, scratches, no nothing. Came unlocked from carrier and with full original package. And everything went perfect for about two weeks..
Then, for no obvious reasons (wasn't dropped, was not exposed to water or something like that - there was done absolutely nothing that could possibly harm the phone physically), phone started doing strange things randomly.. And in about 3 days after it started, those things started occurring so frequently, that they made the phone absolutely unusable.
First of all, phone specs (original), before I started rooting/modding/etc:

The OS was 100% stock 1.6 Android, recovery image was also stock, which made me to believe that phone wasn't rooted/modded ever before.
So.. about the problem:
Action: Turning ON the phone, doesn't matter in which mode (normal (POWER), recovery (HOME+POWER) or fastboot (BACK+POWER), possible endings (occur randomly):
Blue LED of death: Screen does not react, no backlight, no vibration (which occurs when boot process starts), blue LED illuminates, nothing else happens. The only way to make it stop - disconnect the battery.
Sub-normal: Backlight turns on, vibrates as normal, but the carrier logo (Vodafone (same as green myTouch screen in MT3G)) is not displayed, as it should be. Randomly, about 3 out of 5 times - after some time OS booting animation appears and the phone boots up, but sometimes not, always stays in this frozen-back-lit screen state.
Boots as normal.
Action: Using the phone:
Touchsreen stops working randomly, but everything else works: I can select things with trackball, do everything, except my touch input isn't registered. To fix this, I have to push POWER button to put it into sleep and wake it up again, then touch input starts working again. (Not software issue, happens with Cyanogen 5, 6 as well as stock 1.5 and 1.6)
Phone freezes randomly, then after about 1-3 minutes reboots automatically, but reboots in one of two modes (see above for explanations):
Blue LED of death.
Sub-normal.
Sometimes works absolutely with no problems, but this has become very rare in the past few days.
Action: Waking the phone up from sleep state:
Hardware keys illuminate, screen does not react at all. Pushing the POWER button again would cause absolutely random things:
Sometimes, the screen turns on, while the key illumination turns off, but everything works as normal, even those keys;
Sometimes, just turns off the illumination on keys and the other time using POWER/MENU button - screen wakes-up just as it should;
Sometimes, after a few more unsuccessful tries to wake the screen, everything freezes and hardware key illumination starts doing a laser show: flashes rapidly and randomly, then stops and phones reboots.
Wakes-up as normal.
To cure this - tried everything from the software side: tried both, stock and custom ROMs, different SPLs, different recovery IMGs, everything - none of this helped.
Tried reaching for support from my local HTC dealer, they refused to fix the phone by warranty, but took it for a paid repair. The repair quote was about £260 (more than the phone itself, which I bought used from eBay) so I refused.
They said that the motherboard of the phone needs to be replaced, but didn't say why. I have my own reasons to believe that the board doesn't need to be replaced and could still be repaired in the worst case.
First of all, they didn't open the phone at all: "VOID" warranty sticker was intact and in same position (as I made some photos of the phone to compare it before and after the service ). Secondly, I gave them phone with non-stock SPL, so they could think that the mainboard was swapped or something, causing all this stuff.
HTC international instructed me to ship the phone back to UK for a warranty-covered service, so that's what I'm doing next, but before that I thought maybe someone had already faced this problem and knows the cause or even a fix for the problem.
Thanks in advance.
First of all wrong section. This should have been started in General.
Secondly, sounds like it is a problem with something on the hardware side. I would get it fixed under the warranty.

Well, yeah, sounds like hardware, but I have some hope, that someone would at least explain me what's exactly wrong, what's causing this, etc, if this is a common fault for this particular HTC Magic 32b Vodafone UK, and is known to this community.
Secondly, it would take at least 2 or 3 weeks to get the phone back, so I'm loosing almost nothing by first asking in the forums and not sending the phone back to UK (btw, I live in Lithuania), in the first place
I'll move to general tonight when I get home.
I think that is your trackball make the problem. Need to be cleaned. I had same problem.

Damn, I had the same thought today! How did you clean it? Pop-opened then case and cleaned trackball's socket with some special liquid?
When you are disassemble the phone and when you come to the trackball, you'll see what need you to clean . I have used medical rubbing alcohol. Sorry for my english

i am faced with the same issue too. hope someone is able to assist.
This sounds suspiciously like the DSOD problem that plagued the Sprint and Verizon 6700 Units. DSOD = Dark Screen of Death After much research the problem was found to be caused by the SD Card. More specifically having programs installed to the SD card, it seemed power managment was not properly implemented or something and often times when something was accessed on the SD card while the unit was in suspend it would exhibit the same symptoms you described.
There is a long forum post about it here.
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6700-xv6700/79197-regedit-i-have-made-make-6700-more-stable.html
my screen washes out white sometimes
Mine will turn the backlight off randomly when I start to enter a text message or an email... it turns back on after I press a button however.
DSOD? Yikes sounds terminal! As for the SD issue, the screen went dark after a hard reset / rom reflash with no sd or sim card in.
I'm going to send it back to HTC Europe, hopefully they'll swap it? Anyone had any experience with an RMA to these peeps?
Thanks
SOD and White Out Screen
Guys:
Let me share this with all. I got the white out screen of death on my TyTN about a month after I bought it. I would take the unit out of sleep, it would momentarily flash the good screen then fade to white, then black. I thought this was a software issue with something I had installed, so I re flashed the phone a couple of times and the problem persisted. This problem is an issue that needs repair, I'm afraid. I tried contacting HTC about this through their website and got no response. I guess they don't talk to peons like us. So, a week later, I contacted the place where I bought it in the USA, networkingrus.com, since it was still under warranty and they gladly issued an RMA...return merchandise authorization for repair. They said this was a common issue with many TyTNs and I was surprised at their high level of customer service with these guys in contrast with the ignoring I got from HTC directly. Once they received my phone here in the US, they forwarded it to the US agent/wholesaler who then sent it to HTC Europe in the UK for repair. The turn around time for my situation was about 6 weeks, but it was during the holidays, so figure normally it would take about 4 weeks before you get the phone back under normal conditions. They repaired it very well and it works flawlessly....however, they do flash the repaired phone with the oldest firmware HTC has, so you'll need to do a firmware upgrade for your area/country when you get the phone back from repair, as I did. That's my 2 cents on this issue. So, yes, it is a repair issue.
i have this problem when i open my keyboard and in the same time i play some file in media player. then when i want to write sms, document or something my screen blacks out when i stop typyng

Got the same issue, not resolved yet. It happens most of the time while I am typing on MSN over wifi. As MSN is yet quite buged he may be the culpit; I may try to investigate a little more this issue.
EDIT: In fact my screen does not turn completely black; it just loses the backlight.
I have kind of the same problem. A while after I've installed official WM6 only the backlight turned on when I woke the device from standby. And sometimes the hardware buttons stops working, when this happends the lights in the green and red call buttons are on, even when I set the telephone in standby. Sometimes when this happends the orange charging light also turns on, and I get a bright blue flash in the bluetooth light(much brighter than the actual bluetooth light).
I've tried to turn of the standby, now the device never get black screen(it seems that the black screen only happends when I wake the device from standby). But still the buttons locks up randomly during the day...
Now I've downgraded to official WM5. The telephone was ok for a while, but now it shows symptomes of the same problem.
Is this a hardware or software problem?
Anyone else have this problem?
at the begining , my HD is fine.
But , after 2month , the phone has some rotation problem( it doesn;t matter, as you can solve it by pressing the on/off buttom )
But now, the phone's screen can't switch on, when i touch the four buttom on the surface of phone, it still vibrate..just i can't switch on the screen"
i have already tried all the things like take out the battery, press the reset buttom... the problem still occur,
Screen can sometime turn on luckily~
but, if the phone's screen is switched off for a while, the problem still occur..
can any professional heal my phone?

Obvious questions: Have you tried a hard reset?, Diff rom? Have you loaded up anything weird that mighta casued issues? If it will do a hard reset then do it. Start from scratch. If it works then be mindful of what you reload it with. If that doesn't get it, try a diff rom. At this point you got nothing to lose. Will it go into bootloader mode?
Battery comes to mind also. Have you run it down to nothing? Sometimes that will affect the charging capabilities. When the screen is dark can you still hear sound? Def do the HR.
My suggestion would be, to give the HD to your reseller and get it fixed.
I have had the same problem, and as my HD also didn't connect to my PC anymore, I send it in, and got a brand new one, because they couldn't fix it. Make a backup while you can, because the problem will get worse over time.
Likashing, the same exact thing started to happen to me a couple days ago. I've hard reset and flashed a new ROM. It seems that the problem is intermittent. After I just let the phone sit for a few minutes, the screen will come back on. It makes me wonder if this is heat-related issue. Anyway, I'm screwed, because I have no warranty since I bought it from a guy in Australia (I'm in US and needed the T8285).
I'll definitely be keeping an eye here to see if there's any resolution other than repair.
while the screen does not turn on, have you maybe tried to use another phone to call your HD and check if the screen turns on when the call arrives?
maybe if the screen turns on it's more a software related issue (so hardreset et cetera might be worth a try), if not, i fear it's hardware

in Taiwan , there are couple of people have these situation, the maintenance staff working Htc, said that it is a motherboard problem or the screen problem...but i wonder that why only few people have this problem. My phone is completely fine before i flash the HSPl1.56OLINEX.but when i try to flash back to Hspl 1.4 , the problem still happen.....

Exactly same problem here
HTC purchased in Sweden.
Cant switch screen on, when incoming calls come it rings but no screen alive. Vibration when pressing the buttons at bottom. And the low battery sound i can here when low on battery.
When connecting it to charger the orange light at power button will not light up (orange) as usually.
My problems started when i had the HTC in my jacket pocket, a VERY rainy day, so the phone was moist OBS not wet. Thats what i beleive ghappened to my phone.
And now i can not find the purchase receipt to the phone
It might be entirely unrelated, but the screen on my THD also had the same problems immediately after a few flights from coast to upcountry 1800m elevation during summer. The system powered up but the display remained off, and no amount of fiddling would switch it on.
The first time it took a few hours and then spontaneously corrected itself. The second time I had to remove the battery for two days, and then all was fine again. Only happened after flights from coast in summer. It hasn't happened again, but then it's winter here in the southern hemisphere.
I suspect condensation, but that's only a guess...
I have the same problem too here in Australia. It started with the screen not turning on but the buttons still work. Then you'll sometimes notice the screen is inverted and upside-down.
I've sent mine in for service. Haven't got it back yet but I understand the motherboard needs to be replaced.
In short, this is definitely a hardware problem and if you look around the discussions on the net, this is slowly becoming quite a common problem with HD.

Yes exactly, I have had the upside down screen too! Well at the very least it is good to know that people are experiencing this problem other than me. I love this phone so I will have to pay to for the repair. If anyone here has any idea or estimate of what this will cost, please share this here.
The problem for me was the moist, after three days it started to react again... And now it seems to be working...
I guess the air up in the mountains are moist... maybe...

So then that's two people so far (including AFW from the first page) who have said that after some situations involving moisture have passed, things are back in working order. I hope for the same to happen soon.
so it is due mainly to wateR?

I doubt it is related to water. My device never gets near water or moisture and still experience this problem. I do wonder if it is heat related as the device can get quite hot during charging and perhaps cause the motherboard to play up after a while.
btw, does any of you use some sort of plastic/silicone cover. I wonder whether this type of cover blocks the heat from dispersing.
As i understand it, so far only people who have flashed a different ROM (and with it maybe radios) to their device. If it's a heat issue it could be something to do with the radio version. I have tried different radios and there was one in particular that heated my phone up like crazy while i was listening to music without the screen on (but i don't recall which one it was).
I only used stock rom and never flash my device and still have problem...

I do not have any type of cover on mine.
I agree with the possibility of it being a heat issue though.
Very perplexing. This past weekend I again travelled from Joburg to the coast (from 1800m elevation to sea level), and again the THD screen stopped responding to input whilst at the coast. I desperately fiddled, reflashed, hard reset at least 10 times to see if I could get the screen to work, but it always booted up locked, and no amount of fiddling would do anything. I even put the thing on an oil heater for a few hours, hoping that if condensation was the culprit (my current theory) then a goodly dose of heat would at least evaporate any moisture, and once, for about a minute the screen responded, and then again went dead to touch. I had to use another phone all weekend. This evening, on returning to Joburg, I resolved to get another device, maybe the Diamond 2. After a few hours back home I retrieved the THD, put in the SIM and, lo and behold, it worked fine. This is most vexing, but I fear the THD will have to go -- I just can't live with this unreliability. Sad, really, because I love the big display, I love the fact that guys like Throy are cooking good ROMs. In many ways the THD is about the best out there, at least for my needs. But that &@&* thing has to be reliable.
Hi Guys i hope somebody who knows about capacitive touch screens can help me! I have taken my HD2 apart to fix a smashed camera lense. On removing the back cover i used a small screwdriver to prise off the back case and unclip it all round. It came off with no problem, i fixed the camera and put it back together. When i turned the device back on the touch screen isn't responding to my finger on any screen. Like i turned the touch screen off! The hard buttons still wok but nothing from the screen. Nothing looks damaged (I.e the glass isn't smashed). I seem to think i might have damaged something when prising the cover off with the screwdriver. Please, any suggestions would be really helpful!!!
Can anybody out there help with this? I am currently without a phone :-(
I have exactly the same problem, but it happened from nowhere. I didnot unscrew anything. Please Help
Check the flex cable.. this part are very delicate.

same problem
ive got the same problem, mine just stopped working, i performed a soft and hard reset, removed the battery still nothing. it worked for a moment but once locked it stopped working again, only the hard buttons.
same problem but it works on and off. basically the screen will respond until the phone is put into hibernate. the after that id have to push the phone button and end button back and forth until it responds
Same Issue independant of ROM
Same issue here.
Funny thing is it started a week or two ago randomly out of the blue.
Same scenario:
lock the phone can't get touchscreen to respond for unlock
Judging by these posts everyone started seeing this about the same time, maybe it's a software issue or background app .
Help!
I have same problem. It can work for a couple of hours or in 1-2 days then just stop responding, almost every time when in hibernate. Lets just hope it's not hardware failure.
This started happening to me this morning. Out of 50 tries, managed to unlock the phone three times only. This happened out of the blue, right after i removed my phone from the charger.
Have soft reset, hard reset, reflashed ROM, but the issue still remains.
I really really hope this is not a hardware issue.
Does anyone out there know how to solve this? My phone is virtually unusable right now...
Same problem here, I've been testing for about 2,5 months now and today I've sent mine back to HTC . I think it's a hardware problem, tried everything from hard resetting to reflashing. When I press the HTC logo and keep it pressed the screen does respond again. Conclusion: hardware problem.

You're probably right.
I've also tried everything. But kind of strange that if I lock when not on home tab it seems to work. And the screen, almost always, reacts as it should as long as I just dont' lock it.
I just started to get this issue. touch screen works fine until it hibernates. reflashed, still happens. found this in my search:
htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/
just got off the phone with tmo. they are sending me a new one.
Yeah, it happened to me as well. I opened a new thread like a month ago explaining the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710282&styleid=15
and I contributed in another one concerning the same issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708530
Summing all up, it ain't caused by a software or a ROM of some kind (at least in my case) because soft and hard resets didn't solve it nor did the flash of a stock ROM. The most probable cause is a digitizer (touchscreen) defect that appears randomly and totally out of the blue. The only thing to do in my opinion is to send the phone in for repair, which I did. It came back with a check mark on "calibrated screen" checkbox. As of now phone's working fine and I hope they solved it even though I read of other people who have had their leo's screens completely replaced..
A curious side note: htc care reset to zero my phone's call duration timers..
I'm not sure if it's the screen. In my case I think it's the connector from the screen to the motherboard, because pressing the housing seems to help.
But let's see if HTC is able to repair it, I hope they are, because the problem is so random they might not even see it
After losing functionality on my touch screen for a week, finally decided to send it in. Took the trouble to revert my HSPL to original and Stock Rom.
Repair should take about a week. Now I'm stuck with an ancient Nokia 6230i for this week. I feel so lost without my ppc. Have had one for as long as I can remember.
Hopefully the phone comes back okay...
I've had so much problem with the screen not responding so I did all backup then reflashed, hard reset to put the device back to stock. Did this during the weekend, I even fired up my old iphone 3g to have as backup phone.
All set today to go to the store and have it repared under warranty.
But since Sunday evening it works perfect. I've been testing it a lot and the screen has not stop responding even once.
This might be just temporarily but does anyone else experienced something like this?
Mine sometimes worked well for hours... days... but eventually the problem came back.
Mine died on me when I was actually out of the country (stuck in Vietnam without a phone). It would work for 5 minutes, then stop for hours. I would have to switch my phone on and off for a couple hundred times before it worked for another 5 minutes...
Got so tired of it that i sent back my HD2 for warranty repair. Expect it to be back tomorrow (or Friday at the latest). Hope there's no further problems with it.
I hate to say it, but the HD2 is known for its highly defective touchscreen. Even when it's working, a lot of people experience strange and bothering events, such as the touchscreen "touching" itself, a very high/very low screen sensitivity all of a sudden, the tilting of the screen to one of the four corners of the device and so on and so forth.
With a device so expensive one would expect it to work flawlessly. Seems to me that HTC doesn't think the way we do...
Hello!
I have a really big problem wih my WF... Recently it started to lag, but i wasn't worried about it, because i thought it could be because of all that apps and other garbage i had in it. But when i was sitting today it suddenly went off. Now the touch screen is not responding, it's not even working. 1 to 20 times i can enter into recovery menu, but even that, i can't do nothing. The HTC logo is not displayed also. Even working with recharger is not bringing any effect...
Help me please!

1. I hope your screen is not broken or somehow damaged while sitting.
2. In Recovery Mode, I hope you know the Screen does not respond to touch and you use the Volume Rocker to move and the Power Button to select in HBOOT. When you are in Recovery Mode, you still use the Volume Rocker to move and the Track Ball to select. In Recovery Mode, your Back Button should work also.
Do a NanDroid and reflash to see if problem is solved.
can you enter hboot? try doing everything here, or reflash in cwm etc. just do the basic things

Put off your phone for a long while... Like for a whole day... It should work when you put it on back (Talking from experience).
Thanks for all replies, but i tried everything, HBOOT was not responding (yes, i used volume rocker ). Eventually i went to the shop and showed my warranty. Phone went to the service and after two weeks "TA DAAAH", new soft was installed (as always) and lcd screen was replaced with the new one.
I was really surprised when i noticed, that phone was unrooted, but remained S-OFF.
Sorry i wasn't writing for such a long time

Maybe they just flashed an RUU and (luckily) didn't realise it was S-OFF?
I used to fix iphones for insurance companies, and although we had a checklist of things to check such as if it had been jailbroken etc it just got ticked regardless to save people the hassle even if we did notice........... unless they phoned giving us hassle because the parts which we told them we had in stock didn't turn up on time as we'd ordered them from China to save a few bob, then we'd give them a thorough check!

Ok, so my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 won't boot up. Pretty common situation by what i have read on this and other forums so far but mine seems to behave a little different.
Since I've had the device it sometimes just randomly rebooted without any obvious reason but since it only occured once in a few month i did not investigate this any further.
Yesterday it suddenly got really slow when using some normal apps, nothing special (not like a little slow when the cpu is heavily used, but really really slow) it took about one minute for it to close any app and going back to the home screen etc, everything while still recording my actions so when it became unstuck just doing everything i tried in the meantime really fast, then again blocking. So far so good after a reboot that took 5 minutes (even the boot animation appeared extremely slow and fragmented) everything seemed normal.
Until it just freezed while i tried to make a phone call, during which it never dialed but just displaying the dialing animation, although i could switch back to the home screen and back to the "call" i could not end it or cancel it or anything, the phone behaved normal but the call stayed.
Then i tried rebooting it ...
... now it seems to be a brick, nothing will work it won't start up in any mode neither recovery, nor normal, nor download mode nothing.
After a few hours in the charger (i just left it there) suddenly the (untill then black) screen displayed the charging animation, when i tried to boot it then it just went back to a black screen.
After another hour it just started vibrating out of nowhere (and just stopped when i removed the battery).
Thats it, do you have any ideas on that ?
Some other info on the phone :
- rooted stock rom Android 4.4.2 from Vodafone
- tried adb, odin, but no connection to any pc possible at the moment
You have a faulty battery or some other damaged hardware.
Try to see if it boots with an other battery, if that fails then you have hardware damage.
Thanks for your quick reply! I'm going to try a different battery now ...
What ever happened with this? My wife's S4 started doing the exact same thing.

Oh, well I'm sorry I forgot to update the status here.
So I followed the instructions here and bought a new battery, unfortunately the problems didn't disappear.
As the S4 wasn't usable I sent it in to the repair service, which replaced the faulty electronic parts (the Mainboard as I guess). The defect was covered by the warranty in my case.
I don't know how I could help you here, in case the repair might not be covered by your warranty I would try replacing the battery.
Good luck

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I'm on T-Mobile here so I'm gonna go to the store and see what they can do, if anything.
