Call button not reacting in MAGLDR - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey !
I've juste flashed HSPL3, radio 2.15.50.14 and MAGLDR 1.12, I didn't had any problems until now. The Call button is not reacting at all in MAGLDR, so I cannot do anything. After searches I still don't know how to repair this bug.
I'm new with HD2 flashing, I need your help.
Thanks guys !

I find sometimes it didn't react first time, give it a few tries it should work, if not I'd recommend reflashing MAGLDR and trying again.

I agree. I found it not reacting at all, unless I held the button for a little while, rather than just press it.

Thanks for the quick answer !
Should I remove it (how ?) to reflash it ? (Because I reflashed it several times but it didn't worked)

You don't need to remove it to flash it again - it will overwrite your existing version. If you've already done that a few times and it's not worked, then I don't see any point in doing it again.
Don't really know what to suggest, to be honest!

Did you try v1.11 instead?

Yep but it seems to be the same. I've reflashed the official WM ROM and guess what, the call button is not working, but also the back one oO. What could be the problem source ? Radio ?

It could be something simple like the ribbon cable for the button pad is loose, but that's not the most likely explanation.
Unfortunately, that sounds like a hardware failure. If it's still under warranty then you'd best send it back.

@ tuftux: Ehm no that seems to be a hardware issue. I once blew some air in the micro usb jack and had two buttons not functioning for about half an hour, I suspect because of my breath being way too moist. Could anything similar have happened to you? Electronics don't like water, not even in the form of air

Maybe you're right for the water ! I just get this phone from a friend, and he told me that the buttons were working. I'll keep you up !

If your phone didn't get in contact with a 'wet' environment before the malfunctioning and after the last time you know it worked correctly, it's probably been a latent issue since you got it from your friend. This means that the problem has been there before you got it, and even if it goes away on its own, it'll probably come back every now and then, possibly growing worse in time...

HD2 frozen on boot

I have just got the HD2 and been using it for a few weeks. Downloaded a few apps (eg HTC rom, BSB tweeks) and all is good. Saw Max Manila and looked like a great idea - checked my manila version 2.5.19211619.0 and downloaded 2.7 SE (checked it's right for my manila) loaded onto phone and it crashed after soft reset. Took battery out and phone doesn't go past first screen (with the red writing bottom left) - Hard reset is the same and now I'm worried!
Any ideas???
sad to say yy sounds like hard reset time.
power off, hold volume up and volume down, tap power keeping volume up and down pressed til the screen comes on and follow the prompts.
it will reset your phone to factory defaults.
never used max manila so I cant help with what the problem might be, but if there is a developers thread for it you might be better asking there.
Thanks for replying samsamuel - I've tried the hard reset and it doesn't work!
Even when I do as you say, I get the white start screen with htc written on it and then several red lines at the bottom right starting R G and D and that's it! It just stay's like that - At this moment I'd pray for a hard reset!!
I'm going to try booting from the sd card but I'm not sure I can get the phone to go into the bootable mode. I've downloaded the HTC rom and extracted the nmh so we'll see.
if your phone is provider locked then that will not work.you need the rom that came on your phone. so if was from uk o2 then you need the o2 uk rom, otherwise it wont work.
No luck! Whilst I've got everything to sort the phone out it won't do anything but load the white first screen no matter which buttons I hold down.
Man this sucks!
Guess there's nothing for it except the bin unless anyone else has any other ideas??
can you get into boot loader?
press and hold vol down(not up this time, just down) tap and release power, keep vol down held. should boot to striped cultures colored screen.
if you can what does it say next to SPL?
Hi Samsamual
Thanks for helping but no, won't go into bootloader either - doesn't respond to any input (even when I conect the usb the charge led doesn't come on!) and just starts with the white screen with the HTC logo and then the red writting appears and it just hangs - left it for 5 mins just to be sure and no change
Looks like I've really messed it up although I have no idea what I did wrong - instal went just like the other things I installed.
Ahh shame. All i can suggest is the original rom sd card method. But it MUST be the propper rom that came on your phone, so if you got it from vodaphone, , , even if it is unlocked, you must use the voda rom.
Also, have a really good read through the pages in teh rom development section. If you can find someone with the exact same issue, you could be one step closer to fixing it.

you must tab the power botton for a short time just tab it and leave it with keeping pressing on the volume up and down buttons don't leave them i think it must work with you tell me if it works

When you tried the SD card method did you use a 2GB SD card and was it formatted to FAT32?
WB
Have you tried a boot (all combinations!) without the sd card installed?
Hoss and WB - thanks for the comments
Hoss, I've held the volume buttons for over a minute after powering on - no change
WB, I can't get the phone to go into boot loader screen but thanks for the info for the future. Next time I'll see if I can copy the original rom just in case.
Resigned myself to having a new paper weight on my desk and looking for a new phone - Guess I won't be putting so many programs on my new one....
PA - Thanks for the advice - Yes tried with sd card in/out sim in/out bootloader, hard reset, soft reset and always the same.
In your posts you do not mention where you bought your HD2, and I do not know what country you are in.
From what I have read, it seems that you did not flash any ROMs, nor change your SPL, so if I were you, at this point, rather than accepting a bricked paperweight, why not explore your warranty possibilities?
Contact the place you bought the HD2 (the dealer) and explore your options. Since I do not know which country you are in I will not suggest an HTC service center, but if your country has such a center, at last resort, you might check out that possibility.
Since you apparently had no hardware problems before the manila incident, it would seem that it is a software glitch somehwere.
Good luck with all of this. It must be almost heartbreaking to have this happen with such beautiful hardware.

What's most annoying is it wasn't as if I was doing anything crazy! Max manila is used by many people (from what I've seen in the threads) and I guess I downloaded the wrong one (although naturally I checked and it's the right one). Certainly will curb my using of 3rd party software! As for the warranty, you're right, I can try and see if it can be fixed (bizarrely, that hadn't occured to me - I thought that with no resets working HTC couldn't do anything). Thanks for the tip and I'll let you know how I get on.
Surely your warranty will cover this. Yes, let me (and us) know how all of this goes. You will get your phone back to what you deserve, for sure!
I had the same issue.
Sent mine to HTC and got it back with the comment "Cannot reproduce"
Probably it solved itself when the battery was removed for a couple of days in the mail.
It has now been working for two weeks again.
Fingers crossed.

Experential nut I may be, but just wondering if you had the problem after you installed the MAx manila? I wonder now what versions of OS may be causing this problem.
i had something like this with my HTC Diamond... It stopped responding completely when turned on, didn't respond to the usb cable being plugged in (the round ring used to illuminate when charging)
I took the battery out, for about 30 minutes... then left it charging for another 30 minutes - booted up straight away and never did anything like that again
Worth a shot just leaving it without power for awhile, and then just recharging it
Like watnuweer mentioned, "cannot reproduce" probably fixed itself by not having the battery left in for awhile

This is getting more interesting, what do you suppose is the cure of taking out the battery, and then charging? I do not doubt your experience, I am just extremely curious if anyone can explain this phenomena.

[Q] my phone wont Touch anymore

Guys i need help my HD2 is 3months old and I've flashed 3 different Roms on it, about a week and a half ago it started acting funny, the touch screen wouldn't respond all the time especially if i lock it using the power button, now anytime i press the power button the touch doesn't respond at all sometimes i have to reset it 50x before the touch comes back so now I've resorted to my phone always being on & having it charge whenever i can to avoid it dying as it doesn't respond to touch when i wake it up again.
is it a software thing or do i need to send it back for hardware repairs?
if your planning on sending it back then make sure you flash your old stock ROM and remove any HSPL etc.
i cant tell from your question if you have flashed a new ROM since you have been having these issues? if you havent try that, if you had a bad flash then hard resets might not work so flashing it again may help.
as for a hardware problem, thats not really my area but with things to do with other hardware, if it works then it works, hardware doesnt usually stop an start unless it has power or heat issues, it sounds like you can run it fine so long as it doesnt shut down? if thats the case then id be thinking it may be more likely software, course youll know if that is the case if you flash a new ROM
i will flash a new rom tonight, Dutty's always seemed to work fine so i will try with that, since i never took insurance or a warranty out on it i guess it doesnt matter if it has spl on it or not.
oh new development, if i press & hold the power button really hard i can use the touch screen but as soon as i let go it stops responding again.
that dont sound good, hope the flash works but its sounding more an more like a hardware issue.
You'll need to pull the HSPL off if you want them to tinker with it under warrenty (it has a year) or they may charge you
I had the same problem with my phone. I flashed different roms for it, but the touchscreen still didnt work. I sent it in for warranty repair.
well i just flashed it back to Dutty's Rom & its fine for now, i will give it a day & if its not fine tomorrow i will send it in, thanxs for the help guys
phone is ok now its only frozen twice for a drum total of 4secs so i guess it was something in the Energy Rom i installed, never doing it again lol

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!

HD2 touchscreen with MIUI rom won't respond !

I tried soft reset, nothing. Pull'd out battery reboot, nothing. Can you guys recommend me with a few steps i should take ?
Thanks a lot i really need my hd2 this week
Task 29, flash winmo stock, check if touchscreen if working. If it is, flash HSPL 2.08, flash radio, MAGLDR, then android, check if it is working, if it isn't then try a different rom. If from winmo it isn't working, then more than likely it is a hardware problem, eg. your end key is interrupting touch inputs, so take it into repair, although currently HTC is facing repair problems so if you're willing to wait say a month or so, then sure, but if it were me, i'd just buy a new phone.
Mann....i now feel that Android NAND is what gives users so many touch screen problems....yikesss !!!!
Im trying taks 29 now.
I installed this WinMo rom after task 29 and a hard reset:
Energy™-.¸¸.·´¯ 6.5|21916 / 6.5.X|29020 * Sense 2021
Still no touch screen. But the hardware keys are working. Will this be the end for me of a fantastic device and ****ing up 190 euro's
worst situation ever! when you slice your finger to unlock it and nothing happends !! it's a very common problem, HARDWARE related, not android nand related, i've been in the same situation after installing an app, somehow the screen became unresponsive.
i read somewhere that if you pressed a little hard above and arround the power button, the touchscreen starts to work again, because the digitalizer´s conectors are arround there, and i tried that and guess what?? it worked! after that installed button saviour app and never pressed the power button again.
but sadly, after a while the screen becomes unresposive again, so it´s just a temporal solution, now my touchscreen has become completly unresponsive and that trick doesn´t work any more
sounds like the digitizer issue thats been banded about on here
by the way, there are thousands of threats in the forum regarding the same problem, try to give them a read

I did read some, didn't gave me a single working solution. Is this a common problem with HD2's ?
My warranty is gone. Should i try to take it to a local repair shop ? Or take out my baseball bat and give it a good swing ?
It wasn't really supposed to happen you see. Android just requires us to use a lot of buttons and well, the hardware design wasn't meant for the buttons to be pressed a lot, so this happens, if you're unlucky.
Didn't use the power button that much really. Im thinking about selling my hd2 and buying a palm pixi to use for a couple of months. How much should i charge ? 60 bucks ?

[Q] My HD2 won´t turn... off!!!

Hi folks, that´s a strange one...
After a short 30 min car trip, the battery was almost drained out (and the screen was lit)... but I was sure it was indicating almost 50% when I got into the car!
Then... when I tried to turn it off (I mean standy by mode - the last hard button to the right), the screen blanked out and... came back on again! Tried it a dozen times and the same weird thing happened. Took the battery off and on again... nothing´s changed.
When I plugged it to recharge, the screen still refused to keep off. But... when I unplugged the USB cable, everything got back to normal condition. Tried to plug it again to continue recharging... and the problem came up again...
What could possibly be happening? Thanks for any info on the subject.
Regards!
ROM version (stock): 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE
RADIO version (stock): 2.07.51.22_2
Sometimes, by time, the End button "Awaken/sleep" button may become stuck.
Try to push it and release slowly (wth? that won't work, I know, but I'm trying to get you all the available solution before making you disassemble the device)
Try to hold the button with your fingernails and pull it, see if the problem is resolved.
(Either way, you will end up fixing it permanently )
Or just try sucking it out/back into original position
Sounds stupid but worked for a friend of mine.
Hi guys, thank you for your replies, I´ll add a few coments here...

I´ve already tried that (because I also thought it was stuck), but nothing has changed. Also, the problem ocurred only while it was recharging... after I disconnected, the problem disapeared [check update below]... so it wasn´t some "button-dependent" behavior.

Sorry mate, but I couldn´t understand what do you mean by "suck it out/back"... is it something like the fingernail procedure from the quote above?
[updated]
Ok, after a while it started to keep the screen on (actually it awakes in less than a second after I press the end button) even after I unplug the USB cable.
What I did next was to shake a little bit the USB connection while it was plugged, and the problem disapeared again - but only while the cable is disconnected.
It looks like a USB connection problem. I´ll try to clean it with some isopropyl alcohol and get back to you with results.
Thanks again!
It happened to me a couple of times that touchscreen behaved weird (acting independent of my actions) while phone was on charging, but I concluded it was a cheap wall-charger that determined that behaviour (also USB related)?!
Maybe I was wrong, I didn't insist...
