Hello to all,
I have a HTC 3600 with the rom “Karmba_a 7.2 eLiAs EN-20000” for a long time and everything was working great, until last Friday when it stop vibrating as it was suppose to do when receiving a call.
After trying lots of things I decided to reflash it. And it’s still the same, does not vibrate.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance

Changing motor vibrator needs to go to repair.
How can see bord to see if there is humidity? Does not look like a easy operation.

it may cause of the loosen screw which stick the vibrator with the phone. I have this happen before, you can try open the case and screw it back or take to some repair shop.

That was it! Everything is working fine again.
Thank you enduromen and ctrlaltdel.
Well, I'm having the same problem again, sometimes vibrate, sometimes don't.
And I can hear something loose inside the phone maybe it's the screw that stick the vibrating motor.
Can anyone tell me if there is a tutorial for opening the phone and check that out?
Thanks in advance

take a look
unscrew (inside trinity 1.jpg; screw circled with red) and open the cover, then you will see the vibrator and the screw that stick the virbator with the MB (inside trinity 2.jpg; circle with red). Screw it back and done.

Thanks for the suggestion
I've tried flashing a new rom, as well as trying a different headset... same deal
(I however haven't tried if those headsets work with other phones... so I'll try to do that next to make sure I'm not unlucky to the point where both mics dead)
Had a similar problem today--erratic vibrating and occasional strange noises. Thought it was the ROM that I had just reflashed but thankfully stumbled onto this thread - it was the very loose screw! Thanks for the advice.
Just to add a little levity, here's a solution that you probably didn't think of and most likely wouldn't have thought you needed. But... it's a funny idea, nonetheless...

My trinity also stoped vibrating.
Same here, and fixed it now.
Thanks astroganger for asking this question.
And everyone how answered
what kind of tool did you use for the screws?

One word of warning: There's also another screw under the stylus. Don't forget that one when you dissasemble or it might break.

The tool needed can be bought at most electronics stores, ie: Radio Shack, etc...
It is a #6 Torx driver. Also called T6 Might find it at Auto Parts store, but not sure, it's pretty small...
It seems the stopped vibration is almost always the loose screw. Mine fell completely out and was wedged against the vibrating motor, stopping it's rotation. After the phone was open, it was an easy fix.
Hi I have recently let my niki fall while the sliding sreen was opened. Since then I have noticed that the screen part of the phone move a little when the phone is closed. It's really unpleasant when you hold it closed in your hand because it's always moving and doesn't give you the initial sensation of rigidity...
I think I have bend the rail that the screen part usually follow and I wonder if there is an easy way to dismantle the two parts of the phone to rebend the rail properly.
We can see two cross-shaped screw behind the screen when the phone is opened I don't know what it holds so I'm asking for a handyman who have already dismantle his phone or had this kind of trouble and can tell me if the sliding rail is easily reachable and not too difficult to put the two part together again
(I have a bad experience in dismantleling electronic device and I know that it's often easy to dismantle but when you put it together again It's worth than before...)
Thank you for your help
why not send it to HTC assistance? the device is probably in its warranty and you don't need to worry about it
I have bought it on ebay, and althought it was said to be warranted, the warranty seal was tapped...
That's why I'm asking for your help :S
ow :s that's a problem :| sorry, I have no idea on how to help you
...
It's very easy to disassemble the NIKI the Display Part and the Other.
I will try to make a Video for u to do that, in the next Days.
thanks a lot do you think my sliding problem is solvable because if you think it's not I'm not going to dissasemble it for pleasure
super danke valvarian !!
would be great if you can make a video of how to dismantle a nike. just ordered new housing from cnn.cn.
thanks in advance !

Hi Everyone,
I need to replace the screen and digitizer on my phone and I was wondering if anyone could please post a guide on how to do so that would be great. Also, I am a newbie and would like to know the difficulty level of repairing my wing? Any help is greatly appreciated! Great thanks to all in advance. Happy Holidays everyone !

It is actually very easy indeed, especially using Mike's tutorials
THe only slightly difficult bit are in getting the semicircular circuit out and back in when you take the whole thing apart but you dont really need to do this when replacing the screen. Dont be put off by the dissembly instructions which show you how to do this. When you have got the screen off, that it IT.
Lastly as others have commented, re-assembly of the keyboard to the base can be a bit tricky unless you are doing it quicly and remember exactly how it came off. I once broke an L shaped 'foot' which I insist mysteriously isnt shown on the YouTube tuturial.
You can even get the digitiser off the screen relatively easy, though there isnt much point in doing this as it isnt worthwhile getting a screen without a digitiser, nor does the digitiser often break before the screen does. (I DO have a Hermes which has a hole in the digitiser, which nevertheless does still work!)
Can this same flex cable be causing my phone to be constantly opening the phoneprogram?

Hello everyone! I have problem with my phone because sometimes is turning off without any reason, I bought brand new battery and is still same when is switched off and I want to put it back on i must take off battery for couple of minutes, then put battery back and then switch on anybody know whats happened?? And how to fix it!!
It's the most standard problem with htc models touch and elf...
This problem is hardware based! in this condition there are only 2 things you can do:
1.send the device to a htc service center and get the motherboard changed for $300+ if you are out of warranty.
2.Or open the mobile and put a piece of thin plastic in between the omap prosessor chip and the steel piece tha goes over it and then put the second cover on top in order to apply pressure to it because the solder pins that are in between the cpu and the mobo are not connecting properly and lose contact so the phone goes off or freezes then goes off and some times stays off. Make sure that there is enough but not to much pressure applied to it! it worked for mine but i did it because it was out of warranty... its a temporary fix but if you are gentile to it after it will surely work for a few more months...
IF YOU HAVE NEVER DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE OR YOUR TOUCH/ELF IS STILL IN WARRANTY DO NOT TRY IT!
I will post a pic that i took when i did mine if anyone is interested... Let me know...
Thanks for reply!
Uff.... first way to fix it is a little bit too expensive! And 2 way to do it seems quite easy, so i try to do it this way Could you add any picture of this and just tell me how to open this phone?
Many thanks!
@Firestarter42
Thanks man!!!!
did what you said, the plastic trik, and the phone is back to life (it was totally dead and didn't charge) you save a life today!!!
I had the same problem untill one day when he didn`t want to turn on and now i do not know what to do with it how to make it work again
Dear Sir,
I have just tried method 2.
My elf didnt have a metal cover on the processor, lol... got it used from someone... or should I say abused? lol
anyway, I hope it works. will update...
here's a link for the demonstrated tutorial:

Thanks a lot again.
I haved the same problem.....and i realize after many times that I didn't change my ipl and uspl!!!so my cocked rom frequentely turn off my device!!!now it's all right!!!!!!!
i had the same problm too....
it kept turning off and just a few weeks ago it would never turn on...
i did try that trick of keeping the plastic thingy on the omap processor ... it worked for a few weeks max after tht it happened as above
finally took my phone to htc.. told them it was gift and i dont have the invoice... actually purchased frm ebay for 150$ .....
they checked it was in warranty,.. they replaced the board... hurray... my elfin is alive again.. and in wm6.1
hope htc fixes this crap issue as many face this problem
My HTC elf was freezing, rbooting and so on, i was thinking that it was a windows/flash/third party programs problems ....
BUT I confirm that the method "open the mobile and put a piece of thin plastic in between the omap prosessor chip and the steel piece tha goes over it"
brings my htc elf to life again ... stable !
(i've done it with a metal piece and not plastic.)
Thanks for the advice !!!!
my elf was freezing and turning off so i try this 2. method and it works, and elf is much faster then before in my case...
I've never had this problem before but this week my phone switched itself off (so had to boot up again) a couple of times. I did try a new custom rom but I've also been using a different charger (USB mains adaptor) and a replacement battery (this seems to be a poor replacement battery which seems to make up the battery level.
So I don't know what was causing it. For some reason, removing the SD card and re-inserting it seems to have done the trick for now but I'll keep watching it.
Hi guys
My phone is, usually at night when there is no use, switching the screen off, the earphone green indicator flashes but the phone will not turn on when I press the power button, I have to do a soft reset each time to get it back on again (even though it appears to be on with the flashing green light). I cannot get calls or text and my alarm fails to sound. Have overslept a few times now!. Also, its battery has gone for a ball of ^&*%. Will this trick help? Thanks a lot!
Turn off as in literally 'poof!' or, it will restart?
The only way to get it to restart is to do a soft reset, or remove and replace the battery. The phone's green light will flash but there is no way to the screen to activate or use the phone - make calls, use the alarm, receive etc. The screen stays black, no use trying the power button either...

Thankx your solutions worked out with my HTC Touch and i get replaced omap processor
power problem on Elf (not the usual)
hello guys, i have an Elf T-mobile that someone "lost" i found it, but was bricked...i unbricked following the awesome guides on the forum and installed on it the original italian rom (obviously am not german)
but...here's the problem, when i press the power button (should get it into stand by mode like every pda does) or also when goes on stand by itself, just shuts down !!!
then the pda auto soft resets, until the end...doesn't have the "auto power off problem" like i readed on the forums...however it tried but didn't solve the problem
i think is a problem with the radio, or the IPL or SPL (i tried 1.11.0002 IPL and 1.11.000 SPL...then 2.2x.xxxx IPL and SPL...now i tried 3.14.0002 IPL and 3.14.0000 SPL, also tried different radios...
but the problem remains...
EDIT: Problem solved, changed the little battery in the motherborad, it worked for me

I'm presuming you mean for option 2, as 1 is quite obvious
Anyways, I haven't done this, but I am posting my best guess (untried, untested, just a theory).
Open your phone up and completely dissamble as described here. Completely strip it down so you only have your mainboard. Clearly take all the necessary precautions before hand (backup, etc etc.)
When done, you will see there are blank shields above where the chips will be, if you look, you can see little dimples, you can ease these off here. This will get you into where the omap processor is. You can then put the plastic on top, and make sure it is done as described. Should literally be a case of putting it all together and hoping for the best after that. I will have a look at some point (can't promise when) and see if I can take some photos of where this will go etc.
An alternative would be to try and reflow the joints of solder with a heat gun... very dangerous considering how tight the components are packed in, and overkill.

Hi
I am sorry for my english but i will do my best to write well.
I have some problems with my G1 Trackball, i hope to find a solution, even if i am obligated to déactivate it, when i touch the trackball, the phone become crazy and starts a search with repeated letters and numbers like "2u542i33333333333" and continue to repeat the number 3, when it happens, i can't stop it or cancel, even all buttons become useless because the phone i think!, becomes busy. plz help me i love my G1 but cant use it well with this problem, somtimes i can't respond to a call because of this.
Thank you
Seeing as you just registered: are you even rooted? If you're not rooted just take it back and get a replacement.
Hi g13013!
I had the same issue on my device and was able to fix it.
It was caused by some damaged component on the mainboard.

I read that, good job. However, if he's not going to root ever, he should try to replace it first. No need in messing up a warranty unless you're going to root. And taking it apart REALLY voids your warranty.

Sure, i totally agree...
In fact, swapping some components on Dream's mainboard is for geeks only
If you got no clue about all that stuff, you may also brick the board forever.
Better claim warranty if there's one.

scholbert
thank you all,
First of all i confirm that a bought it by internet and there is no waranty, so i will try the solution you gave me.
HI scholbert
(plz dont tell me that is a hardware related, or a least tell me that is easy to fix)
I saw your solution and , doesn't understand all things because a have no experience in electronics, because I leave in Algeria, we dont have an HTC after sales service, so i will ask you if the spare parts are difficult to find, is the solution difficult to do, and it will be great if you can send me the steps by image.
thank you, even if you can't help me

O.K. let me point it out like this...
1. I only can tell you what i examined on my device, but your device exactely got the same symptomes... in other words it's the same bad behaviour. Also the sequence of "bad" strings are the same.
It's about 99% that's this is hardware related.
2. If you're in luck there could be a short circuit at the component itself. This would mean you'll have to find the shorted pin.
There's some hope that the component itself is not damaged.
3. If it's necessary to swap the component, i must admit this is no easy task. To make it successful you'll definitely need some special equipment (e.g. hot air gun).
4. The component itself is not easy to find/buy at the market. I took another damaged mainboard and unsoldered the part.
So to sum up, without any knowledge about all that stuff and without good equipment, forget about it.
There's only one thing you could do (no soldering but technical skill is required though):
Follow the service manual (link is in the wiki), disassemble your phone with care and remove the trackball mechanic itself.
This will prevent the magnetic sensor of the trackball getting into activ state (which at least is the cause for the malfunction).
This won't fix the short circuit between the signals and of course you loose trackball function, but this makes your phone partly usable again.
