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 Folks,
I was unlucky/ lucky enough to smash my Hermes in to bits the other day.
Insurance stumped up the cost of a spanking new Vario II from the T-Mobile shop the same afternoon.
It came back with the original ROM 1.21.110.3, Radio 1.16.00.00.
I have a problem (Duh! otherwise I wouldn't be posting)....
Every time I receive an incoming call when I'm on the phone, I press answer to pick it up, (thereby putting Caller 1 on hold normally), Caller 1 goes on hold, and phone freezes, Kupput!
Bizarre huh!
2nd time round, I thought, I'd ignore the call, press the button, some bloody thing!
Now I have to let the call ring off to answer phone if I'm on the other line.
I also seem to have to reboot the old phone rather a lot (3 times a day).
Was this a dodgy ROM, or do you think it's hardware related?
The only reason I'm reluctant to upgrade the ROM is that if it's hardware I can just take it back to the shop.
Many thanks in advance,
Andy
Your title sounds like a bad porno
Anyways, you can try a new ROM and if it turns out to be hardware, you can downgrade to the stock ROM/radio.
I think its the ROM as mines still stock rom and i have Noticed that, some times it works but most of the time it hangs, when i do switch to the other incoming call it seems to cut the other person off and not hold them, but that could be me doing it wrong lol
normally i just leave the other incoming call "ringing" then they can leave a voice message and i can ring them back, would rather do that than lose both call's
maybe someone with a non stock rom could help out with this one and post if it does the same on theirs or not
If I were you I would take it back to the shop and get it exchanged now. If its a hardware problem you are not likely to be unlucky enough to get 2 phones with the same hardware problem. This way you are reasonbly safe.
If you find that the second phone also has the same issue you can then install a different rom and see how you go. Easier to do it this way than to go through the pain of reversing roms just to send the kit back.
What you haven't said is whether this is a WM5 or WM6. If WM5 I had hellish problems with my Tytn when I first got it with freezing problems, etc. I was on the brink of getting a sledgehammer out and smashing it to bits when I discovered this website. Since I moved to WM6, upgraded my radio, and used all the various hints and tips e.g. the one around activesync, life has been much easier.
Hope you get it sorted.

I've been happy to look past most issues, knowing that a fix is on the way.. however, I'm not that happy right now.
I left my phone upstairs whilst I've been down here in the front room - and suddenly got an MSN from my friend asking why I called them and didn't say anything....
So just gone upstairs to investigate and found it's been randomly dialing people in my phone book
Even worse, I'm on vacation in the UK now, so most of my contacts are Taiwanese - meaning £1 a minute... it only stopped doing it as it's used up all my credit
The phone was just sitting on a desk. Locked. Nothing touching the screen or anything...

Wow that sucks! Are you using a custom or the stock rom/radio? Have you contacted HTC's support?
that certainly sounds bad!!
the only thing I had that was slightly similar was that when I firsts got the phone, I HATED it because the screen was too sensitive. I had sat and watched random 'ghost' screen presses that had resulted in a text to someone, various programs being opened etc.
luckily, I have installed some screen fix cabs and don't suffer any more but it was certinaly freaky to watch
Belive me or not, the exact same thing happend to me today! And that wasnt the first time.. Ive never mentioned that because I thought it was accidentaly. My bro came today, asking what I wanted.. I hat no clue what he meant. He showed me a call from me at a time, I wasnt at home and havent got my phone with me! It was still left in my room charging.
The number WAS dialed and there was a sms from my bro asking what I want.
A few days ago I got a sms from my other brother asking my why I called him. There was indeed a outgoing call noticed in history, but I never called him.
So I think if more people have this, its realy a bug. My brother said, it was a very short ringtime, not enough to answer the call.
My ROM is 1.48 HTC orginal German
Stock 1.48 Singapore rom.
Actually, thinking about it, last night the screen did keep lighting up randomly (as in when it should have just stayed off).
Thing is though, the phone was locked. And I doubt the sensitive screen issue could randomly do the swipe. Lol.
Will email HTC now.
I'm on the stock 1.48 rom and mine has never done this. Worrying though.
Would be an absolute disaster if my business clients started getting random calls off my phone without me knowing about it.
Do keep us posted on this one.

Ok just noticed the screen wasn't locking - I'd forgotton the first time you turn on the phone you need to manually lock it (another bug they haven't fixed yet) - so it could be down to this over sensitive screen issue.
Making sure it's auto locking would then solve that.
Maybe a fly landed on it or something!
Just before I read this thread, I read this article on BBC news. I am not saying that is the cause of any of your phones auto dialing, but it is still something to think about.
I say you both keep an eye on your wives!

Haha - my gf was one of the people it called!
The phone sees dead people (scary)
While talking about the phone doing stuff.. on its own.
I ve seen it happen. i had it nex to me on the desk.
Suddely the phone came on and it was browsing and moving.
Ive installed the latest rom update from HTC and the CAB to reduce the sense of the touchscreen.
Ive been told that the HD2 has this hyper responsive touch screen and it would even react to the smallest things.
I think it would be wise to hard reset your phone and leave it clean,see what happens. Then start installing applications, must be an application thats gone horribly wrong.
Sounds like a bug to me...
Did you check the room for big hairy spiders...?!
Didn't get this ever.
What I do get (almost every time) though, is that I can hear my interlocutor, when he calls me, prior to me picking up the phone (and no, I don't have any psychic abilities!).
P.S.: capacitive screens can are sensible even to grease, so pay lots of attention to that to.
P.P.S.: may I suggest a thick screen protector, like the ones from Zagg. You should definitely take a look!
I'm pretty sure it's just ghosts, are you staying at a haunted house in the UK?

I'm pretty sure what you are seeing here is the non pressed key bug, but its happened over a contact, so instead of pressing a random key, its dialed the contact. I've had the same thing happen. My Device has been confirmed as faulty by HTC. Just a thought guys.
See this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595655
Thanks, installed the ghost key fix Was never aware that I need this because my phone is "nearly" accurate in typing.
Will have a close eye on my phone for the next days.
Grr - this takes the biscuit now. I installed the touchscreen sensitivity fix some time ago, but just got woken up by music from my phone - turned out it had called Thai Airways booking line and was on hold ... thats another 22 minutes of international calls ....
Maybe a trojan horse?

That's interesting. That implies data is being sent to your phone by your telco before you pick it up and your phone is quite happy to put it through the speaker while it's still ringing.
The phone is ridiculously slow, it can't even make a phone call, it just freezes up and does **** all. Its slow when typing messages, its slow when it starts up, i'm sick of this ****, anyone else getting this? A ****ing phone than do everything except make a phone call....great.
Go to Task Manager and End All Tasks. See if that helps.
There is nothing running, nothing at all, i've restarted it about 100 times in the last 45 minutes, trying to make one bloody phone call and it's just incapable.

I have had an HD2 since they were released.
Best phone I have had and I have had many.
FAST, stable and smooth.
Something is not right.
If it is so bad, return it and exchange for something else. It is not meant for you.
it sounds like a faulty device.
Get rid of it.
You might have just gotten a lemon... if it keeps giving you issues swap it out for a new one.. my wife had that issue with the behold2

I agree. Get something easier to use.
go get razer v3 ......its not a toy for kids ..........go learn how to use smart phone
Guys I'm completely tech-savvy, the phone is running slow from start up. If i start the phone app from start manu and make a call from there, it freezes, if i call from contact menu, it just doesnt make the call.
Also now i've restarted the phone, it's now telling me the password is wrong.. And sometimes i press the padlock button and nothing happens. Any way to just wipe the thing clean via a computer?..

Take it back and have it replaced. There is too much good in this device for EVERYTHING to go wrong. I had mine freeze once already and I sniffled, but it's ok now.
how much storage space is left on it? sometimes when its maxed out wm gets slow.
but it sounds like its just a faulty device.
also try to watch the language.
Sigh...... now I can't access the phone, when start up, it gets the the lock screen, when i put the password in and press the padlock, nothing happens...
If it's recently bought and always had these problems, take it back and get it replaced while you can. Nobody else is experiencing your problems, so your situation is pretty unique.
I've had it since january, these problems started and got worse, and worse, until now the phone is completely disabled. I can't even unlock the damn thing.
Tech smart
There is no real problem here, except why you haven't returned it!!?? Do you or have you seen anyone else with that many problems? Don't think so!! This is great phone, get another 1 fast! Watch your language, please,,,Quig

O_O
I can't even unlock it, and there's no problem? All this stuff with not being able to even unlock the phone from start up has started about 20 minutes ago. I've tried starting up with the SD card in, don't work, without the SD card, don't work. I've restarted it too many times it's just getting terrible. What else can I do. And I don't have time to be waiting around for t-mobile to send me a new phone.
Yes the phone was lovely in the beginning, then things just went straight downhill and it got worse.
Before you throw it away I would do a hard reset on it. Better yet do a hard reset then do another one right away to make sure there are no residuals left over. If it has been getting worse over time I would think that there is somthing corrupt in it.
If that does not help then return it for another one. My TP2 was doing goofy things and that took care of all of them. Doesnt hurt, takes very little time and allows you to say to retailer "I did this, this and this. Nothing helped so device must be faulty."
Sorry for double post, i started up holding down the volume button, the screen came up but on the white section, it says "Serial", i've never seen that before :S..

I can't because I cannot access the phone at all because the i cannot unlock it at startup.
okay i been having issues with my epic
1. over heating when back to stock and still getting same problem
i mean i don't even use the phone an nothing
2. some parts of my screen are dead no response i have to tap a few times to get to work.
3. calling i cant hear people and people cant hear 6-10 calls are like that.
4. keys are skiping and or dont respond at times.
5. i get roaming warnings when im in a full coverage area.
well i call sprint they send me to a repair center, the first time they did a hard reset and blah blah long story short work for 2 days booomb happens all over again. then again send me to a new repair center they say were going to replace screen blah blah again long story short, again same issues this time roam is getting out of hand.
now question is how can i get sprint to switch my phone for a new one? im tired of wasting my time going here and there for a fix that doesnt fix anything. last rep told go back an let them know what its going on with the phone an they will fix it. what can i do ? what can i say to have them understand
that its not getting my problem fix.
ps im sorry if this has been ask or answered. and my grammar it sucks i know.
I thought they had a policy if you return it for the same problem 4 times they will replace it. Go back to the store and ask for a supervisor.
either get a supervisor involved, or find the customer retention line and give em a call. just gotta complain to the right people to get a replacement..
My wife has been having similar problems with her Epic. First, it would delay connecting on outgoing calls for 30 seconds or so. She got a replacement phone from the local Sprint repair center. The replacement eventually had the same issue. I rooted it, installed a new ROM, and for a while it seemed OK. Then, it stopped allowing her to answer incoming calls. Tried a new ROM. Same problems after a day or two. At some point, she started having issues with SMS, also (replies to texts she received wouldn't be delivered - she had to start fresh by composing a new text instead of replying, and even then, I think some would randomly just not go through). Eventually, the phone would refuse to wake after the screen went to sleep without a battery pull. So, I ODIN'ed back to stock, and took it to the Sprint store. I described the issue in detail. They played around with it for a while, and eventually told me it was working. I told again them that the problem never manifested unless it had been "asleep" for 5-10 minutes, and asked if they'd let it sit that long. The answer was no, so we let it sit for a few minutes, go to sleep, and then tried waking it up. Didn't work. So, they took it into the back again and replaced the screen.
That replacement eventually had screen troubles, where the screen would freeze and get all distorted with multicolored lines running through it whenever the keyboard was opened. So, they replaced the screen. The replacement screen has issues with the front "menu" capacitive button, and takes a lot of tapping/sliding/long-pressing to bring up the menu.
Now, she's getting the incoming call problems as well, and it's on a completely stock, unrooted. I think they may finally be about ready to give her a new model, but from what the guy at the store told her, it sounds like they'll only give her a new phone at upgrade pricing, not just swap it out. Hopefully, they'll at least let her get the new-ish Epic Touch, and the bugs are gone. I might try to steer her into something HTC instead, as I've had an EVO 4G for about a year and a half, and I still love it, except if they make her extend her contract, I don't want her stuck with a single-core phone for that long.
I/we are at the point where the phone is more trouble than it's worth, and while the staff at the local Sprint repair center are very pleasant, and seem to actually care about what they're doing, it seems like they just keep giving her the same phone back with a few parts swapped, or they really just don't know how to recreate the issues we describe to them, and thus can't diagnose the problems & fix them.
