Blank LCD!

hi,
this is my first post. i have a major problem with my o2 xda mini s.
my lcd cracked so i replaced it with one i imported from taiwan (www.runpda.com).
the new display is blank but i know the phone is on because it responds to touch input. do i have to reinstall or flash the phone to get it to work or is it possibly a hardware incompatibility issue? any feedback is appreciated. thanks

need some advises

Hi,
I will have a chance to get an TYTN brand news for a good price, but I'm carring about screen alignement issue.
The part number is HT35.. do you think that screen alignement issue will occur.
I'm afraid because I have now a TYTN with the number HT27.. from August and I'm experienced since 1 Week this fuc... screen alignement issue.
Can someone tell me if the problem has been solved and from which number we can be sure that we will have this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hermes stops responding to screen taps/registering false ones - HW issue?

One weird problems I've been experiencing with my new Hermes:
After some use, typically half an hour or a little less, it the screen stops responding to my stylus. Resets do not help, but keeping it completely turned off for a while seems to help - it's almost as if its overheating (silly, I know, but that what's the only thing I can come up with). The buttons, all of them, work well though.
Another weird problem I also experience, that I presume is linked to this, is that it seems to start registering stylus taps - typically in the upper right corner, constantly. This leads to all programs I have running getting closed, and I have to to the same thing again - leave it of for a few minutes before it starts acting normal again.
I use The Black 2.0 WM6 ROM, but no one else using this ROM has reported this issue as far as I know. I've tried keeping it "clean", i.e. not installing any software on it, but that does not seem to make a difference. I was originally using a screen protector, but removed it to see if that made any difference, but it didn't.
The Hermes is brand new - got it a few days ago, does anyone have any idea if it's a hardware problem, or is this a known problem? I've searched these forums, but not found anyone else sharing my problem.

This is a rare, but known hardware problem. I have heard from six or seven people so far who experienced it, me included.
None of the tricks to solve the far more widespread "screen alignment problem" work. Only solution is to exchange the device.
Cheers

Thanks for your feedback Daniel - I've just contacted the seller to see if I can arrange a replacement. Though it's never the most welcome news that one has to replace one's device, I'm glad at least I know what caused the problem.
Again - thanks for your feedback!

Same Problem
I have the same problem. Since I got this brand new on eBay, I can't simply take it in for an exchange? Is there a fix for this? This is flat our annoying, and I'm about to swear off buying a PocketPC/Phone for good.
Can someone please help?

Hi Olesk,
I have the same problem and I'm on Dutty v2 ROM.
I never experience this problem before. This prob started after I start upgrading my ROM from WM5 to LVSW then to DUTTY.
My machine is Dopod838Pro.
regards,

HTC HERMES Touch Screen Software Issue

I have had a problem with my touchcreen for 2 weeks now. The touchscreen all of a sudden stopped working, i tried all the suggestions on the wiki to re-align the screen. It didn't work. I then replaced the touch screen and it still did not work. My hermes isn't in warranty so i had no choice but to get it fixed myself. I then rang HTC and they told me it was a software fault and they have no solutions as of yet but are looking into it.
I have seen, looking through the forums that many of you have the same problem as me... do any of you think HTC will be true to there word and find a solution, or will we all have to live with smartphones now?

Quite frankly I don't believe HTC's answer. Yes some of these cases maybe software related in which case a hard reset should fix it. If it doesn't then the device is faulty and should be replaced under warranty if possible.
However most cases in my experience are neither hardware nor software!!!!! They are related to the pressure put on the screen/digitizer by the case/bezel and are often intermittent, apparent when device is warm or in a few cases permanent alignment or no screen response is shown. Many report random or even predictable responses such as start menu opening and applications closing despite no user taps on the screen.
I have made several posts telling users not to spend money buying new screens as in the majority of cases there is no fault with the screen or indeed with the software but rather a proportion of cases put pressure on the touch sensitive screen.
I would further point out that a software issue would be apparent for all those with that model - this is not the case.

I had this problem last week and I solved it realigned the screen. Now, everything is fine. Fortunately.

I think you can soft-reset the HERMES to check if it will work properly, or hard reset.

Did you unlock your screen?

Hello
In some cases, the problem is in a broken conexion under the main processor of the PDA (no phone processor). In other cases, you can see if have a dent in a surface of font case, around of the display. It causes a false measurement in the touch screen system.
Please, you excuse my bad quality for English.

If it dosen't work, maybe you can try flashing with other ROMs.

HTC HD2 Screen fault

Hello there.
My HTC HD2 has been giving me some problems lately.I have recently noticed that there are flickering magenta/pink bars flickering horizontally across screen.
I have neither dropped the phone nor have i applied pressure on the screen since i carry it in my jacket breast pocket.
I am just wondering if anybody here has came across a similar issue.Virgin media are trying to absolve themselves of any responsibility, claiming that the fault is down to reckless handling.
Thanks

bumping the thread

I'm getting blue and pink bars intermittently appearing. My HD2 has been sent off for repair under warranty. Gutted. Back to a very bog standard SE handset for the time being.

I'm glad your getting yours repaired.Virgin are claiming that the HTC warranty does not cover this particular fault.
lying bastards.

Have you in the mean time got the problem fixed, and if so, how? As of today I am experiencing the same problems, and don't know if its worthwhile sending the phone in to HTC for repair.

I occasionally get vertical green flickering bars but only ever when sense is on screen which makes me think that it isnt a hardware issue. Anyone else experiencing this only whilst on a manila screen??

Hi,
I work in telecomms at the moment and can tell you that Virgin Media are not responsible for Hardware faults but should replace the device if you have the original boxing etc. This issue must be linked to the Pink Hue problem that the stock wm6.5 roms came with on the camera, try downloading the HOTFIX for the pink hue and that should do it, if not then I recommend trying a new ROM; as it only happens every now and again its not the physical screen but the ROM itself that is causing the flickering. Im not an expert but these two potential fixes come to mind.
If you need more help then let me know.

Blue lines on screen
For about a week I had blue lines across the screen no matter what screen in the phone I was on. I tried changing ROMs and Radios and nothing changed but then after a few days it just stopped happening and hasn't re-appeared since. I would say just upgrade ROM and radio and hopefully that might help.
Good luck

had that before, its a sign of problems with the screen, usually causes by faulty connection of the digitizer or of the LCD. you might want to call HTC as it usually caused by influx in temperature.
this is covered by HTC warranty just call HTC directly and they will fix it for sure, might only have to pay for shipping there.

Hey I never thought of that, thanks dude, you learn something everyday here.

Hi guys same problem here, for over a month now. It got worse and now is: color failure, lines that flicker or constant remaining lines especially in the home tab. I will check through my guarantee, i have done nothing wrong to harm it.As much as i like this phone it seems that problems are endless(...restart...etc)

Hey,
the easiest way to repair sir is call HTC, mail it in to them and they will fix as it is a hardware fault. If you call T-mobile they might not, but if u directly call HTC they will.
