Been using mine for a couple of weeks, but just now the touch screen has been acting up. Sometimes it responds sluggishly and sometimes not at all.
At first I thought it was one of my apps running in the background, but even after a soft-reset, the touch screen still doesn't work. Can't even enter the PIN to my sim card.
Found that if I gave the screen a few solid taps here and there, the screen would start working again.
This happen to anyone else?
I've got the same issue. I can't find any reliable way of getting the screen to respond apart from to get someone to call me and then after some bashing on the screen it starts working again. I've even updated to the latest ROM in the hope it would cure the problem - but it didn't. I contacted HTC support they offered to repair the device...

Yep, that happened to me plus the screen started jittering with some weird actions. I sold the device and ordered a new one, to be delivered dec.19.

I've contacted Handtec about the issue, my phone's just marginally inside their 28 day replacement policy so hopefully I can get a new one out of them.
I tried a hard-reset before, didn't fix it. And I've found that if I place my entire palm over the screen and give it a bit of a squeeze then that restores life to the screen for hours or days at a time

Sounds like the connectors under the screen came loose, either because it was dropped or just shouldn't have passed QA. Definitely a candidate for repair/replacement.
By the way, if this happened even after 28 days you would still be covered by warranty...no matter what some dodgy resellers say

Oh of course, but the regular warranty process is to repair the phone. Being so new, I'd want a replacement.
For what it's worth, I posted a message asking about this same fault a couple of weeks ago but with no replies. I emailed HTC and they said it was probably a hardware fault and to either send it to them for repair or contact my supplier (O2). I spoke to O2 and they suggested that it might be because my SIM card is a few years old and suggested trying a new one. I thought this was worth a go so they sent me a new card but the screen still becomes unresponsive and the fault also survives a reset. In fairness to O2, they are now sending me a replacement unit which should arrive on Monday.

The same thing happened to me. I think it was because I left it in my hot car. HTC fixed the problem, for free, inside warranty, and just sent me back my phone 2 days ago. It's even got a brand new screen. NO SCRATCHES>

I sent my back and the first time it came back and worked for a week and then stopped working completely. I sent it back a second time, they paid for shipping and ordered a new screen and replaced the old. Nice thing, I bought the phone used and the warranty was still intact.
Hello HTC users
I am very new to HTC so i need your help please
I have purchased my HTC HDT (T-Mobile) from usa about a week ago.
When i finally got it and tried to turn it on it wouldnt get passed the "Stick together" loading Logo. I have removed the battery and let it recharge until the light went green. once i started browsing the phone it just went off and got stuck at the loading page again.
any advice would be most appreciated
Thank You

Try this first, hold both volume keys, and the red power button, then reset the phone, if that doesn't work, then your phone is dead, sorry
Keyword there, "SUPPOSED" to be new, many times, people break their phones with a program that wasn't meant for it, and they put it on eBay. You get those kinds of people on there. Sounds like you need to file a claim on PP if you still can, file a complaint, because you just bought a broken phone.
Only way to make sure it is "NEW" is to buy a BNIB one, buying a new or used one is a hit or miss if the guy before you messed it up or not.
check the battery connection pins and make sure none of them are bent. There's 5 of them, and they should all be even in a row, like this: ll l ll
I have done the hard reset and the soft reset.
If i do get inside the phone it would work for 20 30 min and then goes off
to re open it i have to take the batt out for at least 5 min and then retry again.
I have contacted the seller and he said to give it to the lab and he will refund me on whatever it costs.
sigh
Before you take it to a lab, check those battery pins. Make sure they are straight. Easy. Next, try it without the micro SD card in it. See if it works. If it does then it's a crappy micro SD card. If it still freezes, do a hard reset. After a hard reset if it still freezes Then get a replacement. Did it look like it was in a sealed box? Even if it was, the seller needs to take it back unless it had a no returns mention on the auction.
Its a faulty unit. Had the exact same thing happen to me with my launch model. T-Mobile replaced it for me free of charge. In your case contact pp as you just got screwed

the problem its the sd card boot ur phone w/o sd card and it will boot as it is lol save all the data of the sd card and reformat it. it happened to me...
Are u able to solve this problem...
I am also facing the same problem.... I tried even installing custom ROM etc... still the same.
It start if i disconnect the battery for 10 min and try again.... But it can crash any time..
i would suggest returning it asap if possible.
I had this problem happen towards what has to be the end of the life of my hd2. It would freeze there until you took the battery out and hoped it booted.
Later mine wouldn't boot and all and is now basically a 600 dollar vibrator since all it does is vibrate till the battery dies.
I was very happy yesterday when I picked up my brand new Desire HD. When I got home I immediately removed the plastic from the battery, inserted my sim card and plugged it in the charger while reading the manual.
After some tinkering around it suddenly rebooted. I thought it was just due to a setting I changed so didn't think much of it. However, it occurred another time later in the evening. This morning when I woke up, I didn't have any signal due to my DHD not recognizing my sim card any more. When I rebooted the phone, all was well. However when riding my train to work I felt the phone vibrate so I picked it up thinking I had a new text. Wrong: I was staring at the boot screen yet again.
When I got home this afternoon I did a factory reset using the phone's menu and hoped it would solve my problem. Unfortunately, when I opened the browser it rebooted again!
So, is my 2 day old DHD really dead-on-arrival or is there something else I could try? Unfortunately this was the last model left at the store where I got it from and they didn't know when another shipment would come in, so I might be stuck waiting for a while if I really do need to get it exchanged for a new one.
Mine is also doing this, also when I turned it off last night to charge it, it kept turning itself on. Any help much appreciated.

imo take it back if a laptop or anything else was doing this i would say there is a hardware fault bad chip sample or something its not normal you should have to live with it take it back asap
or wait if you want but personally you pay that much you want it to work just take it back
Maybe your SIM card is old and causing these reboots? DHD will automaticaly reboot when you unplug your SIM card without shutting it down first so maybe it's just loosing contact.
I've seen cases (various manufacturers) where SIM card would cause hangs, reboots and such. Replacement card from the operator in most cases fixed the issue.
My Nokia 6630 has that issue, it says the phone has to be reboot constantly due to a old scratched sim card, if i try with a new one it works perfectly :|
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676402
These reboot issues are a problem with the Desire, Nexus1, EVO4 and now it would appear the DesireHD. For the other phones the solution is to return to HTC for a mainboard replacement.
I really hope this isnt the case for the DesireHD.
As for it being my sim card: I doubt it as it works fine in my old phone (Nokia N900) and an old Motorola I still have. The sim card is barely 1 year old btw.

Yeah, I read about similar problems with the Desire and Nexus One but hoped the problems would have been solved in the DesireHD as I hadn't seen any messages of this problem occurring on the DHD before.
When I woke up about an hour ago, I again had to reboot my phone as it didn't see my sim card anymore. I'll go back to the store in about an hour to get a new one if they have it, and let you know when I get back...
This is just a wild guess, but may you should try to take out the sim card and place it back again. There could be a loose contact, dirt on the sim or some something else that might be causing a problem the phone does not see the sim correctly.

I thought of that last night so I took out the sim card as well as the battery and placed them back again. This morning, the DHD again failed to recognize my sim card so that problem wasn't solved.
The reboots seem to be rather random though, it's not just when I use my phone very heavily.
the issue with the sim card isnt the mainboatd issue, its can be sim or one of the back covers, wird.
Well, I went to the shop this morning to replace my DHD for a new one. The shop I got it from didn't have any in stock anymore, so I had the choice to wait until next week, or go to another shop and have it exchanged there. So I went there, and they replaced my (I think) faulty unit for a new one
So far, it's working like a dream What I noticed that with my previous DHD the charger would buzz very slightly when charging, this doesn't happen with my new unit and the same charger.
I'll keep you updated whether or not my new unit is indeed problem free.
I bought my Desire HD from the T-Mobile shop yesterday. Nice phone, but mine is rebooting every 5 minutes more or less. It seems to reboot soon after the 3g becomes active, but that may be just a coincidence. It also reboots immediatly upon plugging in the USB cable. Very annoying!. I thought I would try resetting to factory default, but that also did not help. I am going to swap it tomorrow, and hope I have better luck with that one.

Same issue here, got mine from three UK yesterday.
Brand new SIM Card with the phone as well.
It was fine most of last night, rebooted once then after setup, like another post didnt think that much of it.
Then this morning it went in to a boot loop, rebooted about 5times in a row and the only thing to correct was a battery pull.
Lets hope its a software issue and not hardware related!
I haven't been able to test my new unit properly just yet. I ordered a new SIM card through T-MOBILE but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm now using my DHD without a SIM card and it has been working fine for the past 24 hours. So I think my SIM card is indeed the problem, as both units rebooted several times with the SIM card inserted but work fine without one.
When i picked up my sgs. It used to have same problem. Everytime i open a browser it reboots. But after i changed the rom it went perfect
Factory reset wont work. Try fresh install from the recovery menu. I think it will fix ur problem.
Most of the time this issue is software related.

Replaced my DHD at T-Mobile
Hi all,
So i was experiencing the reboot problem on my new phone. In fact mine was rebooting every 5 to 10 minutes since i took it out of the box. I phoned HTC to see if there was something I was doing wrong. They told me it's probably mainboard fault and I should return it.
Today I brought it back to the t-mobile shop and they exchanged it for a new one no questions asked. I demonstrated to the sales guy how it reboots for no reason, just to prove I wasn't crazy, but he didn't even ask for proof. The new one seems to be working flawlessly so far.
Here in Netherlands, you have 8 business days to return your device if something is wrong, and they will exchange it. If you wait too long, you would have to send it for repair under warranty. If you are having issues such as this, I would definitely swap it out a.s.a.p because when you buy an expensive phone like this, its meant to WORK!
I noticed something else perhaps worth mentioning. When the first phone package was opened, the plastic piece protecting the battery was not there, and the Micro SD was in the box, but not in the phone. The plastic cover was on the phone however, so I didn't think anything of these things because i don't know how the phones are packed. When I got the replacement phone, I tried to start it and it wouldnt start. Only then did I realize the replacement phone had a plastic protector around the battery which I first had to remove, and the micro sd was already in the phone. When i put my sim in the replacement phone, the fit was tighter as well. This all seems rather dubious to me. Perhaps someone had a play around with the first one before selling it? Maybe it was refurbished? In any case MAKE SURE you inspect the phone before leaving the shop, and make sure your phone hasn't been played with.
good luck everyone!

Horrible reboot
Hi all,
I have been experiencing different reboots due to different reasons. Main reason is the fact of applying too much pressure on the back cover. That will always result in a reboot (I suspect it has to do with the two contacts under the cover).
Another reason for rebooting, as I have experiencing, is unplugging the charger while using the telephone.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are more reasons that cause the rebooting of the unit.
The worse part in my case is the fact that I lost the receipt, thus I believe I won't be able to take it back to have it fixed. Am I wrong?
I've been experiencing the same issues, but mine also turns itself on. I tried factory reset, didn't solve. So I am getting it exchanged as soon as its back in stock with Vodafone.

I am having exactly the same problem with my DHD. It's randomly rebooting 1 or 2 times a day. And when it's rebooted there is no signal and sometimes it doesn't even recognize my simcard at all. Manually rebooting the device then solves the problem for a while, untill it reboots automaticly again....
I have a dual simcard so today I will swap it, but I don't think that is going to work.
I don't have the DHD yet...
But i saw in a youtube movie that the batterycover had 2 contacts.
The guy in de video told that when you take the batterycover off when the phone is on it will shut down.
Maybe your battterycover is not set the good way.
Follow the below steps if your device is turning off or rebooting randomly. If the problem still isn't fixed then it is time to send it to HTC.
Note that the SIM card seemed to be the problem for most people (including me) - making sure it was 100% inserted into it's socket seemed to fix the problem.
1) Make sure battery & battery cover are seated properly (replace battery with a known working one if you can)
2) Make sure SIM inserted 100% and SIM cover is seated properly (important)
3) Restore your phone back to stock RUU
4) Do not subject the phone to extreme temperatures
5) You could also try putting a piece of paper between battery and battery cover to force it to make contact with the phone power terminals (don't cover up battery cover gold contacts though)
If you have done all of the above and your phone is still rebooting and/or turning off randomly then you should send it to HTC. No use faffing around trying to fix it if it's a hardware fault.
Sending your phone to HTC:
You should keep a diary of: How many times your phone reboots/turns off, when it happens, what you were doing when it happened, if the room temperature was warm/cold, telling them you followed the above steps, etc.
If you suspect your phone has restarted but you didn't know when it happened (e.g. after waking up) you can find out how long your phone has been on for since last boot, by going to Settings>About Phone>Battery and taking a look at the 'up time' - an up time of 00:05:35 indicates the phone last booted up (or restarted in this case) 5 hours and 35 minutes ago.
This will really help HTC and hopefully make things go much faster.
This is getting annoying now... the phone seemed like it was in an endless bootloop after it decided to randomly turn off today (kept turning off then I would have to turn it on again). I flashed my nandroid backup of my original Rom but that didn't fix it.. infact, it even turned off while I was using the phone (as opposed to turning off only when the screen is off).
I took off the sim cover and noticed the sim was sticking out a bit so I pushed it in. No turn offs for now, but I hope that was the problem.. I really don't want to go through the hassle of a warrentee claim.
hi,
are you sure you got a "HTC Desire HD" ???
and not a "HTC Desire" only ?
Sounds like a known issue with some "HTC Desire"....
greets
Alex
Hi, yes it is a desire hd (ace).
I have flashed an RUU for my device, which has removed the clockwork-mod, custom ROM, and restored S-ON (gotten rid of ENG HBoot and restored normal HBOOT)
If my phone still randomly turns off, even once after this, then I am filing a warranty claim. This is unacceptable, I can't even rely on it for waking me up in the morning because it might decide to turn off in the middle of the night (and it has done that before)

The general idea is, if they cannot tell its been hacked then its in warranty. But restoring the phone to stock wipes out all hacks anyway so its fine. Just make sure you do it before sending it to HTC. Back in the hd2 forums, we would only flash stock bootloader over hacked one for 'warranty purposes'.

Hi,
I have the exact same problem, which is very annoying : sometimes, when I press power button to put the screen on, it reboots (not fast boot, but I can't say if it's a real reboot either, it seems longer, don't really know... ).
It happens also in the middle of the night, the phone does nothing and then it reboots, sometimes several times in the night (wakes me with the vibration sound and the white light from the screen)
It seems to be random, but more and more often by now.
I'm new to Android (this is my first smartphone), I've been using my DHD for a month and I am very glad with it, except for this big problem
I use Stock HTC ROM (no root yet).
I went to the shop where I had bought it and was told that it seems to be a software problem, so an update shoud be ok.
I already had the 2 OTA updates and tried a hard reset but still have the problem.
Does somebody know how to fix this ? Thanks
BTW, I asked HTC by email this morning, waiting for the answer. I'll update you if they can fix the problem.
Hmm.. my phone doesnt reboot.. it just powers off. But ever since flashing a stock HTC RUU (which removes ALL HACKS, root, S-OFF, ClockworkMod, custom kernal, custom ROM, custom radio, etc etc) it has worked fine. But I also noticed my SIM card was sticking out slightly (approx 1mm) so i pushed it in (and then proceeded to flash Stock ROM).
Try making sure your SIM is all the way in, and try reseating your SIM and battery covers.
I did a test with my phone, exposed the battery to cold for awhile and placed it in my phone, no turn offs so the cold for me isnt a reason.
Ok, thanks. I just tried that, and now I just have to hope it works ;-)
Well, when the screen is off and I press the power button it boots so i can't know whether the phone was on or off, it seemed to be the same problem as yours.
I also had the reboot problem, it might be a diferent problem.
Now i hope it's solved, thanks to you I'll update this thread if i have something new.

Hope it works I haven't had a single turn off ever since I made sure the SIM was all the way in.
Keep us updated, maybe this is a common problem
I'm just realising I didn't explain that I only used at first the second part of your advice : cleaning everything, sim and battery, and putting them back, carefully and checking they're in place.
I'm sorry to say that it didn't work
I keep in mind the other advice you gave, rooting and using a different ROM.
As I'm not used to it, I think I'll wait for HTC's answer to the email I sent before I try this (in case I have to return it, I don't want to have to unroot the device, I don't know enough about that yet ). So if they can't solve the problem, I will try diffent ROMs.
It doesn't seem to be a common problem, but if it is, maybe HTC will publish an OTA update
My first 2 DHD's used to randomly reboot at times, but on my second DHD I noticed the problem was indeed my SIM card not being inserted far enough. If that is clearly not the problem in your case, I'd just try to get it exchanged for a new one.

Thanks for mentioning this!
Ever since making sure my SIM was inserted all of the way (even if it was out by 1mm) my phone has never turned off, it has even gone the longest without turning off now! Good to know someone can clarify it was indeed the SIM card.
@ sand1011
Sorry to hear your problem was not fixed. It appears your problem is caused by something else, and since you are running a stock HTC Rom I cannot really say it is a software issue.
I suggest you pursue a warranty claim with HTC after you receive your email from them. Please also post HTC's response in this thread as well, I would like to see what they have on the issue. Remember to delete any personal information from the email before you post it here. Thanks
Thank you both for your answers.
You're right, I'll return/exchange the phone if HTC has nothing to fix it. (I'm not sure I can have a new one directly because it's been a month since I bought it, it could be too long)
(btw, I'm a bit relieved to see I'm not the only one having this problem)
Sure, I'll let you know what HTC say (I guess if I have no email answer, I'll call them, I think there was a french phone number on the website)
I too have had this very annoying issue. I can confirm that it is fixed my pushing the Sim Card all the way in. When the phone is on, try removing the Sim Card and you will notice the phone turns off. I have put a small amount of tape over the Sim to prevent it from moving out.
I also used a small piece of tape to secure my sim card and it has never shut down since.
Good to see that most people have resolved this issue by making sure their SIM card is inserted properly.
The sim card has to be inserted all the way in? But I met with some resistance when I'm trying to.push it in. Anyone got any pictures on how far the sim card can be pushed in?
Cos I encountered a reboot when I called someone today.

Anyone has any ideas that when I call out and the phone reboot is due to the sim card not inserting all the way in?

My DHD has also been shutting down randomly recently, especially this morning. I justjust checked the SIM card and it was about 1mm out... Will keep an eye on it this afternoon and the next couple of days...!
My phone became unresponsive yesterday. I was able to flash the stock ROM and HSPL back to 2.8000 before I sent it back.
I talked to the tech for a bit and he said that this is a common problem they have encountered. Maybe I'll have a replacement by the end of this week.
I flashed 8 different ROMs with no success.
How old was the phone before it went out? Screen separation/button issues or did the screen just stop? Drop it or some other physical damage?
Had the same problem, Updated to new rom 3.xx whatever and the phone went dead.
Workaround found
I found a work around, I have only tried this in android. Press the power button to turn the screen on, Then when it comes on it will not be responsive.
However if you turn the screen off then back on and try and unlock it it will respond and also i have noticed if the phone wakes it self up it will be responsive again.

+1. I too got annoyed to be using such a crappy workaround.. So called up HTC and sent the phone for warranty repair yesterday. Lets see how it goes.. I bought the phone off craigslist and HTC confirmed that its manufacture date was June'10.
I also put a note with steps to recreate this error. After some reflashing ROM/ Radio, my touchscreen started working again, but when I pressed Power button first time, the screen froze.. So I put that down in the steps.
Got my new phone... Quickly went back to hspl3 and back to android. the problem with my old phone was a loose windows button.

What exactly did you tell them when sending it in? Did you just tell unresponsive touch screen or what? My phone's touchscreen was not responding at all, but for some reason it started working again using the power button trick.
This is what happened to me:
I sent my phone to HTC and those idiots just flashed a fresh OS and sent it back as-is. I had sent a paper with steps to recreate the error, but the jokers are dumb enough to not even read it.
Called back HTC and they are sending a prepaid label to send it back! Wtf.. company run by idiots..
I have the same problem here. The trick doesn't work for me

SECTION 7-WARRANTY RETURNS
As much as I would like to say that it doesn't happen, the HD2 does indeed sometimes completely fail because of user error, or just plain hardware faults and must be returned to either T-Mobile or HTC. The warranty process can be a scary one, especially if you HardSPL'd your phone or installed a custom ROM. But fear not! You can get your device back to stock rather easily! In this section I am going to cover the more common HD2 failures and their solutions, as well as how to revert back to your stock carrier ROM and SPL for warranty purposes. Now, this guide assumes that you bought your HD2 from a T-Mobile store and that you are a T-Mobile USA customer. If you purchased your HD2 through an online reseller, or are not with T-Mobile USA, the only option you have is to send your device to HTC directly and have them repair it. See the bottom of this section for more info.
Q1-MY TOUCHSCREEN DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE! WHAT HAPPENED? DID SOMEONE SET ME UP THE BOMB?
A-Where you running Android? For some reason, there seems to be a connection between touchscreen failure and running Android on the HD2. No one currently knows why it happens more often under Android, but it does happen. Please run Android at your own risk. If your screen fails under WinMo, it's more than likely just a strange hardware quirk, and not because of what you are running.
