litle problem with screen!!!

ok guys actually two problems here:
1. my wizard works fin no problems at all until i go to use the keyboard for txting or emailing, sometimes its ok other times the screen goues fuzzy and then a lot of lines appear?? any ideas is it hardware or software problem??
2. ive recently tried flashing a new rom to my pda actually a few bu everytime i flash its the same rom that comes up as before ive hard reset after flashing also soft rest but its still the same rom any ideas?

Have you CID unlocked your device?

I'm having the exact same problem with my keyboard, although it doesn't *only* happen with the keyboard. Every now and then--more and more often now--the device just stops responding for five or ten seconds, and then the lines appear, and the screen fades completely white after a few more seconds. Sometimes it reboots itself, but not always. It never responds to any input after that.
It really sounds like a hardware problem to me, but I have no idea what to do to fix it. A friend of mine who is very much into (read: addicted to) ROM flashing said that a re-flash would solve the problem, and suggested I go back to an official ROM first, just to be safe. I did exactly that, and it did nothing at all to help the symptoms. I've gone so far as to start using a Blackjack II for the moment, because I can't deal with my phone locking up randomly all the time. Any help would be very appreciated.

I too have a similar problem, except its just with my screen that occassionally i get lines down the screen then it fades to white, putting it into standby and back on again gets the screen back. My device still responds however.
Sounds like hardware issue. I have come across quite a few threads with similar problems

yes my device is cid unlocked i used to have no problem flashing roms but now it just doesnt happen all it does it resets the standard rom and all the tmobile gumf loads up
**also does anyone know how to get rid of the tmobile stuff permanently?

I think I bricked it...

Before I start I know how touchy people are about searching forums and the wiki etc... but I already have!
Ok so, I tried to flash a new ROM to my phone last night, I have done it before without problems however this time I was having trouble getting the phone to connect to my laptop (I run Windows 7). Both USPL and HSPL wouldn't work (in fact active sync wouldn't even recognise it).
So I went to bed, woke up and... My phone didn't work at all
I spent ages trying to get it too work, I tried putting it into bootloader, but nothing happened, I tried getting it to Hard reset, but nothing happened. (By nothing happens i mean the screen doesn't turn on).
The only sign of life i get from it is the little vibration that usually occurs after the 'smart mobility' screen appears. Except this is delayed by about 10 seconds from after pressing the Power button.
The delay makes me think that there is something else wrong with the phone other then the screen...
Please help!!
Oh and I am sorry for the essay... I only just realised how long and rambling it is haaa.
UPDATE: right it just connected to activesync but still nothing on the screen, is there any way of checking for definite that the screen is broke before I fork out for a new one? There is astill the massive delay between turning the phone on and getting the little vibration...

Try removing battery overnight, then re-inserting. Then try to get to bootloader or hard reset

how exactly did you manage to brick it? did you flash the rom in question with uspl, or do u generally have hard spl installed? i dont know but it looks like the bootloader is somehow broken ...

Ok I will try doing that, thank you for helping
And no, I didnt get as far as flashing the ROM because active sync never recognised the phone in Bootlaoder. I usually use USPL.

Did you fix it? and if so how?

I have very similar issues with my HD right now. Screen went black, bought a new LCD and still the same problem. Oddly enough the only way I can get the screen to come on is to take the battery out and set both battery and phone body in my window sill for half an hour or so. It is cold here right now and they are both pretty cool to the touch when I take them out. Put it back together and tada! Screen comes on. I dunno what the deal is also, don't know if its the battery or phone being cold that makes it work again??? I am going to try and figure it out.. Try it on yours it may help

From reading this i guess you had a problem before you installed hspl? you may have a got a reply sooner if you had typed the first part of the paragraph as well as the second . Start from the very beginning and go way back past where you installed hspl and tell uncle M3PH what is wrong.

Well, when before I installed it it was been weird every time i pessed the key to go to the lock screen sometimes iwhen I went to unlock it, it would not slide now it is just getting worse.
I'm going to sleep now so I reply in the morning thanks alot mate.

Sounds like the phone is busy with a background task. The text messaging app can cause this as can the music player or album app when they are scanning for new files. HSPL would not cause this. Try backing up your memory card, formatting it and inserting it into the phone with no data on it. Let me know if the problem persists then (this is only a test to prove if i'm right or not).

It sometimes works now and sometimes doesn't from the lock screen.

did you perform the test that i asked you to do?

I was having the exact same problem with stock ROM 1.66 (so far the only ROM I've been using). I thought it was a hardware failure, but then I turned off all the screen locks there possibly are (Windows classic, Windows standard, CHT's screen lock and even PhoneAlarm's screen lock) and without any lock there is no problem.
Then I've installed S2U2 and so far I've had only one 'freeze' which could be undone by pressing the 'on/off' button, which is a big improvement. Still I need to test this a little longer, because sometimes freezing comes unexpected.

Yes I did, It's working a little bit now not good tho it is still frustration I rang up phones for you were I got my phone from and they sent me an Email with some software to install onto my HTC which apparently should stop it doing this but so far I have not recived the email.

what's the software called?

I don't know I have not received it yet they didn't tell me on the phone.

[Solved] Touchscreen locked

I had a strange issue recently with my build (below). I had a 'normal' data freeze and rebooted, but when I did, apparently a message was waiting and some appointment on my calendar was due. This seemed to really slow down WM and HaRET ran very slowly before booting Android. However, after Android booted, the touchscreen was locked and wouldn't slide out of the way. In fact, the screen darkened and shut off just as if I wasn't touching the screen at all. I did receive a phone call, which worked, but touchscreen was still unresponsive.
So I tried rebooting again. This seemed to lock up JMZ Dual Boot and not allow me to boot up Android. Moreover, it locked my touchscreen in WM! I have pocketshield installed, and after cover screen showed up, I couldn't move it away. I tried rebooting, taking the battery out for 5 minutes, etc. and no luck.
Ultimately, I resolved this by a HARD RESET of the phone. Lost my windows setup which will take some time to repair, but since I use Android most of the time, maybe it doesn't matter?
Anyway, posted this in case others are having this problem, maybe there's a theme.
editted: ok, touchscreen stopped responding again, in WM and Android, while the unit was just sitting on my desk. I'm now thinking hardware problem...

yes i have the same problem since a ~week. NO TOUCHSCREEN... i have flashed maybe 100 different roms, but no luck... even when i install the original vodafone rom with radio and downgrade to spl 1.48 it doesnt work... this must be an android issue i think.
yesterday i was in the vodafone shop and they give me an NEW HD2 ))))).
now im waiting for an solution about that problem and hope someone will fix it. untill that i will stay on WM6.x. i dont think, i will get another new HD2^^
sorry about my bad english! im german...
ps: when i started the hd2 there was an picture of an WORLD MAP for ~one second. maybe this helps. i think there is something in the front of the orange screen. something with "yes" or "no" option. but i cant see it.

HD2 Serious freeze HELP!

I think here might be something wrong with the htc sense, but the thing is, that my hd2 touchscreen wont respond to my touch. When i'm at the unlock screen, i cant slide it to open up. This wont change after reboot either.
So eventually i set a hard-reset on the phone, but it didn't work after that either. I tried three times, no respond. Without the sim and with it in.
I cant recive calls or text messages, because i cant tap my PIN in, neither i could open or answer. I'm f***ed.
Okay, the next day i do my fourth hard-reset, and it starts working again, but after a time of use, it will start getting slow with the touch again, and then it will stop responding again. So I don't now what to do. There is now warranty time left, so i want to see what i can do my self before taking it to a repairing place and pay 100 € for it.
This is my everyday phone, and i would like to get it back to normal state as soon as possible, so many many many thanks to all who try to help me out of this
Cheers,
Nother

Have you flashed HSPL on it or this is all stock ROM?
honestly it looks like a hardware issue to me.

well i looked at the stats, and seems like i have HSPL on it, but it's not bought from a reseller, it was bought second-hand. it has worked perfectly until a few days ago, then the freezing started.

ok if it has HSPL on there that means someone flashed something on there.
I would flash task29, then flash the ROM of your choice and see if it still does it.
If the ROM is the problem a hard-reset won't fix it, so let's try this and see what happens.

Okay thanks for the help
the only problem is that i'm running on a mac, and i cant find any software to flash the hd2 on a mac..? Do you now any?
and could you link me a thread or a tutorial to how to flash 'cause i'm quite new with this anyway.
Thanks!

There is no way to do this on a mac, find a PC.
ok, here's the quick version.
1) download the attached file from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19
2) turn your phone off, then turn it back on while holding the vol-down arrow, this will bring you to a tri color screen. Make sure you are plugged in via USB.
(you could do this via activesync, but I want to avoid the freeze so this gets you right into bootloader)
3) unzip the file and run it, follow the on-screen instructions, it will flash task 29, which is basically a good reformat.
4) if you are fast, hold the vol down arrow when it reaches 100% and don't let go till you're back at the tri-color screen. If it goes to the splash screen it will stay there forever (because there is nothing flashed on your phone now). You have to do a battery pull or press the reset button. In this case hold the vol-down arrow again and power on the device to get you into the tri-color screen again.
5) Download the ROM of your choice from this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
They are all custom ROMs, my favorite is the this one currently:
http://hotfile.com/dl/117879873/9b01b43/Energy.Leo.29020.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.sencity.May.14.7z.html
It was taken from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
and is the awesome one with big finger friendly buttons as well as that awesome blackish theme (Sencity)
If you don't want a custom ROM then go to the HTC support site and find your stock ROM, download and flash that via SD card (I am assuming you have an international HD2 and not a TMOUS one).
If for some reason you have a TMOUS one DO NOT GO THRU HTC BUT USE TMOBILE'S SUPPORT SITE.
Let's get you rocking and rolling!

Thank you very much for your help, i'm very grateful
I'm going to run W7 virtually, just to be quick.
And I was thinking to flash straight to Android, is that possible? Like android 2.3 or something.
Cheers!

sorry if I made you unhappy, but my phone is now in a technic service due to same problem, it never fixed with a rom update, day by day your problem will appear more frequently, this is a hardware issue, maybe digitizer maybe hardware buttons block your touch screen.. I will see what will happen after my phone come to my hands again..

Okay thanks.
I will see what the reflashing will do. Then if it doesn't work, i will take it to repairing.
Thanks!
