My phone doesn't vibrate anymore.
I've had it for 4 months now, and it never really experienced any real severe injurie but for yesterday I droped it in my car. Though I am not really sure it wasn't broken before. Anyway, now I can get it to vibrate sometimes, once to 4 times max, but then nothing.
Has any of you ever experienced such a breakdown ?
Yes i have,
there are 2 tiny screws above the vibrator. Last month one screw came loose and felt into the vibrator of my phone. mabey thats your problem. Do u heare someting inside when you shake with your phone?
Greets
nope, not really.
and I am too scared to open the phone. better wait 'til next week when I come back home and go straight to reseller to use the warranty.
thanks for the answer though, I feel less alone.
actually I am experiencing many problems at the same time...
I never could connect through GPRS or any 3G stuff, but I assume my provider is in fault. And I just installed WM6 by Faman, and can't even connect to GSM now ! I am going to reflash to normal WM5.
Hope they just change me the phone without arguing (and why not give me a P3600i instead ? yes I know, I'm day dreaming...)
Hi everyone,
up to today, I was totally happy with my HTC Hero (unbranded).
However, the LED's (both on top and the trackball) do not show any sign of function any more.
The phone has not dropped and was not exposed to heat or anything.
First I thought this might be a software bug, but even after a hard reset, the LED's don't come up at all any more (even not if charging the phone).
Anyone else here with a problem like that? Any solution yet?
I almost can't imagine this is a hardware fault but on the other hand if the hard reset doesn't fix it, what could?
Thanks for your help,
Chris
Hi.
I can ask the very same question too... I have had the HTC Hero since the friday before yesterday and after a couple of days the LED's simply stopped working. I had thoughts about trying a factory reset but with your posting it seems it would be in vain... :-(
So yeah... count me up on this one...
UPDATE:
Today it is Sunday and the time here in Sweden is 22:05 and I had to do my very first hardcore hardware reset (HOME+BACK+POWER) since every radio in the phone simply stopped working. After the reset was done the led's still won't light up when charging...
The LED at the top doesn't light up for missed calls/texts/emails anymore (the trackball still glows)... although it does still flash for batt.low/charging it doesn't for anything else... I'm pretty sure it used to... or am I mistaken??
mine died 2 days ago, also did a hard reset and still nothing....today my headphone jack stopped working, just plays the music through speakers and ignores the headphones totally :/ not amused :/

write to HTC, i did
i'm hoping it's a software thing, can't be that so many people have hardware issues at the same time :/

You just made me realize it's the same with mine
- LED's don't work (top and trackball)
- Button lights don't work
- headphone jack doesn't work any more either
So all these things seem to belong together...

What software have you got installed? Is this a similar thing like TasKiller that killed the clock so Alarms didn't work?
Then again, you said you did hard resets... But if you did a hard reset, it shouldn't be the software of the phone as thats back to normal.
Try taking the memory card out, only thing I can think of!

This happens when a bluetooth connection has been made. It ignores the headphone jack. Close the connection in bluetooth settings and it ill be fine.
Don't quote me on this, but I think I remember seeing an option in the phone setting section that controls the track ball and what not. It may be worth having a look.

Well... no :-/.
BT isn't switched on, 3,5mm headphones aren't even recognized after a hard reset any more.
This is not a software thing as it seems, at least not one the user can repair on his own.

Yeah, you're right, there is an option for that. I've switched that back off and on a thousand times before and after hard resetting the device, that doesn't help unfortunately.

Yeah... I only got standard soft like shazam and streamfurious installed. Then after the hard reset, only stock software was on it of course...
Seems like it's a hardware defect or something the user cannot influence software-wise. May hard-resetting doesn't reset everything in the phone, who knows. I even took out SIM and SD card, no luck.
However this is a bug HTC should look at closely, people are complaining in several forums and it seems like I'm not the only one with this issue...
i don't use BT, never turned it on and just checked, it's obviously off :/ don't remember coming across a trackball option in settings, but Notification option is on :/
let's just assume that it's not our doing since so many people have same 2 problems
Mine packed up last night must be a tech issue I think heat
sorry for asking a silly question though. is the led supposed to flash on missed calls or messages? cause the only time mine works is when charging.
I have the same problem. after a few days the headphone simply wasn't recognized. And at the same time the LED's and trackball lights were broken.
Hard reset didn't work.
It was after I rooted the phone.
How was that with you?
For the headphone problem I found a workaround. This switch-widget turns the headphone back on and the speaker off.

same here, check topic Q&A but here also the alarm doesnt work correctly...djeezes;..
same here!
well i have the same problem whit the LED's.... just stop working aften 3-4 days of use
maybe we should all write to HTC to complain as a group, this definitley looks like a manufacturing fault to me , esp as it is happening so soon after buying and using
Hi there, haven't heard from me for awhile. I was pretty busy, but now I'm still trying to get my phone to work right. So.. I still haven't found a solution to this screen behavior. When I type on keyboard or just select something in menu, it sometimes doesn't react to it. I have tried and sent it to the warranty repair but the did nothing but "calibrate" the screen and install new firmware (this was 6 months ago). So I'm wondering if there has been any new fix or something, to fix this? Or should I try and get the screen replaced once again under warranty? But they were pretty confident that the problem is not in the screen and it just has to be that way
There's a touchscreen fix cab out there that seems to help with some of the HD2's I manage though I have to say there are people, (my CEO being one of them), that are like a dead fish... I do something and ask them to repeat it themselves and the screen simply doesn't react but once in three tries. It's odd... My CEO finally rejected the phone, I took it over and it has been flawless for three moths or more... Yet I watched her try and try again to carry out the simplest of tasks...
Hello guys,
I have a very strange but really bad problem: my omnia7 can't stay in standby.
When I press the power button, to turn off the screen and go in standby (so not the full turn off), my Omni7 wakes up alone, going on the unlock screen. In the same time, the phone rings with the ring that is played when you connect the phone for charging.
I've tried reboot, reset, hardreset, removing the sim-card, turning on/off "battery saver options" ... still that issue :crying:
Anyone has an idea?
I've flashed with a cooked rom (xda-devs Omnia7 Tango V4.0)
my current config :
OS version : 7.10.8779.8
hard version : 3.1.0.4
soft radio version : 2424.11.7.2
hard radio version : 0.0.0.800
loader version : 4.10.1.9
SOC version : 0.36.2.0
Thanks to any ideas, because that problem is killing me
my phone started doing this late last night too! i thorght it was because rain had gone into the power socket but if others are having same problem at the same time maybe not?
has your phone been exposed to water at all recently? is your phone jailbroken? cant realy think of other reasons
the problem stops when the phone is plugged in. is there anything that can trick the phone to thinking it is on charge? I have wphtweaks installed but the options there are not able to stop it
Hi,
I can't remember if my phone has been wet :/ I take care, so my phone never received water. But when I'm outside, under the rain, it's possible.
Today it was better, just a few times my phone wakes up alone.
I'll give you feedback in the next days. Let me know about yours
I managed to trick my phone into silence a few times earlier but it was difficult and then only lasted 5-10 minutes.
if yours didnt get wet it seems unlikely to do with water but I left mine ontop of the aga after removing the battery and over a relativly cool part. A few hours later and it seems to be working fine now.
I will report back if the issue arises again.
EDIT: Ahhhh!! STOP THE RINGING!!! started again this morning
Mine too !
This morning ... the ringing awakening problem !!!!!
But it was better this afternoon.
Really I don't know what happens.
Are we only two persons in the xda world with this problem????
this is realy weird now! mine was doing it in the morning but since about 12pm - 1pm it has been fine! I feel like its something to do with an installed homebrew app maybe.
I also have a custom rom but mine was flashed a long time ago and much older than yours. not sure which version
EDIT (1:10pm GMT): no problems since yesterday
EDIT2 (1:30pm GMT): again i spoke too soon!
Did you guys get this problem sorted out? Had the same problem recently and tried all the suggestions in other threads (bend USB pin, Reset/Restore Device etc) but nothing fixed it, so after being woken at 3am by constant charging tone, took to T-Mobile shop. They said it was a software problem. I said I'd tried all that and the most likely cause I'd seen on the internet was a duff USB port.
Anyway, T-Mobile sent it off for repair and 7 days later - returned and fixed. The repair sheet said software upgrade, but the phone had been reset to bog standard Phone 7, so unlikely. The T-Mobile repair tracking site (excellent) which shows blow-by-blow trace of what and where, showed initial software upgrade/no fix but I used their "contact us" facility to suggest a USB problem and by magic the repair tracking log showed a replacement USB port.
BTW - had to resort to an iphone and HTC android while Omnia was off for repair. Now I know why I like Phone 7 and can't wait for 8. The iphone GUI is so last decade and Android GUI is really just a copy of Windows 6.5 with XDA developers' tweaks isn't it.
Hi Wuzzok,
what do you mean by "bend USB pin" ?
Anyway, it seems like it's finished for me. I didn't get tht strange bug (soft/hard bug???) for a very long time. I just hope it's really over !
Same problem
Hi Folks,
I have the same problem, too. Yesterday afternoon on my way home the phone started ringing with the USB plug sound and always started up itself from standby mode.
As I have a custom ROM (mi7ROM) I first thought it could be a problem with the ROM - although I could not really believe it since it was running stable for months now. I flashed it again and nothing changed - still ringing and starting up itself
I managed to get rid of the sound by deleting the entry in the registry key "Local Machine\Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds\BatteryCharging\Sound" but that does not solve the real problem.
After reading here and in some other WP7 blogs I am sure that this is a hardware problem with the USB plug unit. As my phone is just 11 months old I opened an online ticket at "SAMSUNG online repair service" who promise to answer in the next 24 hours. So I just have to wait and see...

Samsung sent me an offer to send the phone in for repair - but what should I say, the problem solved itself. For two days now the phone works normal again. So I had to cancel the service call .
mine hasnt done it in a long time either. looks like its just a temporary thing. I wonder what caused it! For me it started after I was using my phone in the rain and the usb slide was open so thats my suspect.
You may be right. Mine is "quiet" now, since a long time. Water may be the cause.
Update
Hi folks,
mine is mostly quiet again, too. Only few incidents "happen" but they do not last very long - only a few minutes. It's somehow spooky but I do not want to send it in to Samsung now when the error it not constantly reproducible.
I agree with you that there might be a correlation with humidity although I am sure that it did never get wet and I almost always keep the USB-shutter closed. Who knows ...
Sent it in
Finally I sent it in for repair today. It started ringing permananently two days ago...
Now I have to wait and see.
Final state
Okay, I received it back... and it works.
First they did nod find and could not reproduce the failure and wanted to send it back - only with a new flashed image - but fortunately the technician called me and I could describe the problem again. After waiting a few hours, the fault appeared again and they decided to change the mainboard.
I hope, that's all :laugh:
Hello,
Me too it makes me after my omnia 7 is dropped in water, but problem solved.
Me too

Are you really sure that the problem is USB port.. Mine too behave like this. I've tried to remove battery, factory reseting, reflashing ROM. But nothing works. Mine is Samsung focus
post to remove
I just bought the device yesterday new, and from the first use i had a weird issue, the sound is muted, all sounds , music play, calls with speakers on and screen sound, sometimes it works and sometimes not, when i plug the headset i can hear everything
Any solution ? i won't wast my time to go the warranty, is it software or hardware issue ? i did factory reset and still the issue come back
Seems much like software issue, have you downloaded and installed latest N7100 firmware? With odin you can do it "officially" without losing warranty.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I will do it hopefully it solve the problem
i did it and told me PASS, but after booting up the device i found the same background and all my settings still there like nothing happened , and now the the all mobile sounds are gone forever even with restart not working
Please guy i need a solution !!!
Still no one to help ?!!! where's the experts ... can anyone at least tell me for sure is it software or hardware issue ? and the warranty can detect that issue ? cause sometimes the sound working fine for hours

Wow, this stinks. If it were my brand-spanking new phone, I'd return it. It almost sounds like a solder issue. My Note 2 has a very loud speaker with excellent quality (nice bass) while listening to podcasts. When on a call using the earpiece, it's actually too loud. I haven't figured out how to turn it down yet, not a critical issue.
Do you get sound at the Samsung logo when you restart the phone? If not, it's a hardware fault and exchange it.

The weird thing , sometimes the sound of Samsung logo working at the start up and sometimes not ... when i just got the device and start to unbox it and turn it on .. it didn't make a logo sound .. but later sometimes it does !!!
i gave it to Samsung today and they told me it will take 5 days .. they will make new software format and then check the hardware . i hope they detect the problem cause sometimes it works fine for hour and the sound disable just happen for minutes !!
Any Ideas ?
Thanks for reply
Also, go into the dialer, type in *#0*# and go to the Speaker to see if it works.
I went to the warranty and they told me it will take 5 days for troubleshooting, they said first we are going to install new software then you will have 48 hours for testing, if the problem persist they will change it for me , i don't know if they can discover it, Also here's some link for some users have the same issue :

Thanks
I received it from Samsung Maintenance and they implemented new software installation and told me the problem solved, anyway i took it and just going to my car the issue happened again, i back to them they told me they will troubleshoot it again !!! to be sure that the problem persist !!! WTF
Any ideas will be appreciated

try pressing on the main speaker, the point of contacts of most phone speakers are just behind or sides of the actual speakers just to rule out loose contact. also try to master reset if it doesn't work try reinstalling the rom to rule out software problem. Otherwise, I would return it for a replacement. Good luck.
Edit:
If pressing on the speaker temporarily solves the problem, I would still ask for replacement.

Anyway , so you saying it's mostly a hardware issue , right ?
Thanks for your support
Did they get this issue fixed for you? Mine is doing basically the same thing, but only the media volume, it gets muted randomly and I can't adjust it, so I reset the phone and then it works.....any ideas???
