touchscreen stopped - HD2 General

hey all dumb question and yes I know there are tons of threads on this
but i want to find out just how common this is and also is there any correlation between touchscreens stopping and using android?
The reason I ask is because this will be the second HD2 I have sent back to tmobile
Thanks,
Yonu

ok here is a odd on i just placed the battery back in the HD2 and the touchscreen works should i still send it back in or not worry about it

Are you putting any stress to the front of the screen - like putting it in your pocket or have a case that may be too tight?
People here have been using Android for many months and we would have seen more posting of failed screens. Software should have no bearing on the touchscreen AT ALL. Heat may be another issue - possibly your phone or battery is getting super hot and may be causing a poorly soldered bridge to open up. This would be one theory and that would only mean you have a poorly constructed phone. I've been using Android daily for the past couple of months and my phone does have a tendency (based on battery widget) to run on the warm side around 40C during peak periods - phone on, etc. with GPS running but I don't think thats out of the norm because I think when running WINMO it ran at that temp during load.
If you are still under warranty or have insurance - send it back but first check your temps or maybe it could be a bad battery - bad power sometimes does strange things.

The interesting thing is that all the people with this problem seem to be T-mobile HD2 users, I would like to know if any Euro HD2 has this problem.

I had the problem on an EU HD2. Started a few weeks after installing android.
reflashed back to stock rom and returned it for repair and had no problems with that (until I broke the damned LCD screen
Been running it on android for 2 months now (Nand version - no WM at all) and had zero problems

Android Overheating, temporary screen freeze.

Good morning,
I did a search for this topic but didn't find anything which could help so I thought I'd start a new thread and ask you guys.
I have installed the Desire version of Android and it runs fine apart from two issues.
The first is that when the phone is plugged in to either the wall charger or the PC it gets really hot. The heat is coming from the back of the phone but right at the bottom (not from the battery). It got so hot after around twenty minutes last night that I rebooted it into Windows just so I could charge my phone overnight. Windows has no similar issues, by the way.
The second thing is that sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive while running Android. This is mainly on the homescreen and you have to usually turn the screen off (stand-by) and switch it back on again to make it work.
If anyone can offer any solutions to either problem I'd very much appreciate it. If I've left anything out, let me know. It's nearly 7am and I'm barely thinking straight.
Many thanks.
i get the same heat issue whether its plugged in or not(its much worse when its plugged in though). this & the battery life are why i cant run android for more than a couple hours. im sure theyre related too. the heat scares me, i dont want anything to fry out. as soon as i boot back into windows it cools right down. i really hope this issue gets fixed soon.
yeah the problems you have are what some ppl have and to my knowledege they have not been fully solved yet. But its still a work in progress, just give it some time
I can deal with the overheating I turn the screen off for a while and its good.
What I can't deal with is THE CONSTANT FREEZING!
It's really starting to piss me off!!
I think its because of the class 4 SD card, I'll get a class 6 SD some time this month and I think that should help out A LOT!
i 100% using external charger with few batteries, so i've never realize the problem.
find a good task manager app from the marketplace and kill all apps that are running in the background. that cooled down the device quite a bit for me
i don't think so

i don't think so. mine is 8GB class 4.
I think it may be related to your radio and rom.
I am on claudyfa's 1.5 rom and 2.12.xx radio - you can give it a try
If I use a lot of apps in android, it gets really hot, like in win mo. but android is hotter
good luck
It's freakin beta. Secondly use set CPU and lower your clock speed. It save battery life also. As far as the freezing its a result of the beta nature of the roms

Anyone else's HD2 getting really warm when running WP7?

Is anyone else ending up with a very warm device after a little heavy usage? I've not had the phone many days to determine if this is the way the phone is in general, so if this is the way the HD2 is, just tell me lol.
Noticed that also wenn downloading lots of apps from market with wifi on. The backside is getting pretty warm then. But it cools down as soon as you finished your stuff and do usual things like texting or something. Thats my experience.
Its funny people bring up phones getting Hot. Cause We got a Gig processor, and 576mb ram. If you feel like ur phones getting hot, you know ITs a BEAST. also keeps ur pocket warm in winter.
Yes! Comparing with WM 6.5, when running WM 7 phone is getting warm even just scrolling in menu for a while. Battery usage is HUGE! 10 minutes playing game (Jewels) consumpted a half of fully charged battery. Battery life worse then android have.
Yep defo gets hot, when screen is off its fine but when in use it gradually warms up
This is usually the sign of high battery drainage
i used to get it in android
Am I right in saying that magldr could have something to do with the battery drain? Been reading some comments that suggest its possible

you are right, but this only happened to me when i installed andoird via nand way, i don't have any problems with wm7 on my htc hd2 tmobile leo 1024.
i'm happy
my HD2 gets hot when android runs ... WP7 is no load at current bulid
Must agree, my one got realy warm after me sitting 20 min on the train sorting/linking contacts. got more warm that it should.
It just seems like a gradual warming on mine, it can get quite warm though, it happens even if I leave the screen on while magldr boot options are on and nothing else, I think my problem is that, and I'm looking forward to a update
nah just when i'm charging.
EDIT: I did notice bottom of my HD2 getting warm now that you mentioned it. But nothing toworry.

Yea that's your processor, and it is something to worry about, if you care about your phone.
is it possible related to sdcard?
if I use sdcard class 2 or class 6 will it got any different?
Ya mine too becomes ho....if i use internet...otherwise it stays cool...
God knows ...its harming the processor or its just usual thing.
M-SD Class 10 better
Try to M-SD Class 10
It's work well.
When i used to run WP7 and 7.8 the most heat generated was from 3g/2g mobile internet. That thing just fried the HD2's bottom, i couldn't chat on whatsapp more than 5 minutes before the phone's bottom got too warm to even hold. I figured its the combo of SD-card usage, mobile internet (a bit less heat when on WiFi) and screen-on effect that strained cpu and other phone parts to its limits. Eventually moved away from WP (sadly) due to lack of certain things i needed, but i remember that was something that really bothered me alot (aside from no wifi on standby).

So NAND builds killed my HD2. Nice. Lol.

Well last night, I decided to flash a NAND build of gingerbread. Never thought it would be the last time my touch screen worked properly again.
Since then, my touch screen has been sporadic, working off and on. WP7 or Android.
I flashed back to stock ROM + Radio and the problem still exists. And Im not the first person this has happened to.
Be weary of the NAND builds, ladies and gentlemen.
From what I understand this can happen under any OS. It has nothing to do with just nand builds. It can happen under a 3rd party 6.5 build, Android SD build, WP7........etc
If the temperature of the phone reaches a certain point you can kiss the touch screen good bye.
This is an issue HTC will repair if u send back. But return everything to stock. It's not the roms its the screen. Android. Rocks

But I wasnt even overclocking it. I was at 990MHz when I ran every build.
It has to be software related.

I fail to see how flashing a ROM could affect your digitizer in any way (read: it can't).
Just unfortunate coincidence, time to call HTC!
No, it's like blaming Shell for a flat tyre which occurred after you had just filled your tank with their petrol....
Return phone to Factory condition. Contact HTC and send it back. It'll be fine.

It is related to ignorance and hardware not software.
This is NOT a common occurrence, It can and does happen in ANY OS, Its simply that on those occasions that it actually happens while you are using android you get n00bs posting saying "hey android killed my phone", this simply isnt the case.
Its just pure coincidence that your screen decided to fail whilst you was using android. IF it was an Android issue the forums would be flooded with topics/replies about if from everybody who uses Android. Its like saying, "hey I was using linux in a VM on my machine and my monitor failed, must be software related "
I have been using Android on HD1/HD2 for a year+ and have never experienced any TS failure, even in the early days of android builds when power management was an issue and CPU would heat up, plus ive used countless different builds.
Virginise your phone and sent it to HTC for repair.
Well since you decided to reply in such a condescending matter, Ive been doing IT work for the majority of my life.
If NAND builds do indeed increase the heat, that would be a software related issue. IE, the phone wouldnt overheat unless the software said to.
Pure coincidences of this magnitude are rare. And with the amount of time it took to happen, its more then just a mere coincidence.
Get off your high horse for a second. You arent getting paid for posting, so stop acting like it

and this is exactly why i fix my own computer at work rather than call IT; 2 weeks of trade school in IT programs dont beat my 20 years of computer knowledge as a gamer (build my own rigs) and programmer. most people working IT know very little.
I have to agree......while running a rom for the first time or even after the first couple restarts the phone runs very very hot.....sometimes freezing n only choice left is to pull the battery....but if the phone is still too hot magdlr displays fatal error n wont boot till phone cools off takes a minute or 2....but once the rom settles no more issues.....no such behavior on sd roms.....my experience

These phones are not supposed to be used while they are being charged. Plugging in the USB cable to flash the phone not only charges it but also put the screen on. Then it runs a pretty heavy process. That is almost surely how most (if not all) of these screens are damaged. Do you notice it is almost always right after flashing a build that the screen is damaged and not after using adroidn for a day or so?
How about this? How many users do you think plug their phone into a wall charger and charge at around 800ma, and then play Angry Birds? You want to heat up your phone and damage it try that.
Slightly side note: I do not think NAND builds increase the heat. I actaully they reduce energy consumption (evidence in longer run times). You have to use energy (in this case from the battery) to heat up the phone. NAND uses less current and has longer run times. This should result in a cooler phone on average (assuming the phone stays in this demension ;-))
-Unconnected
All in all, this discussion is irrelevant now. HTC has my phone now (luckily, I live 10 minutes from the Nationwide service center, how quaint) and I should have it repaired by monday.
My experience with this issue
I have been flashing various roms for years here at this site. Including Android Nand Roms here for the last few weeks while they have been available on my HD2 without any issues.
About 5 days ago I installed MDJ's 2.5 (I had previously been using 2.4 with no issue). Right after flashing, the screen would not respond. Went back and tried it again with the same issue. Tried another android rom that had been working fine previously, and the screen would still not respond.
Did a task29 and went back to windows mobile and the screen still would not respond. The hardware buttons always worked.
Finally I started to get some screen response and went back to my NexusHD2-Gingerbread by tytung and was able to restore everything and the screen was fine from then on out.
Thinking it must have been a fluke, the next day I tried it all again. Guess what? Same exact problems happened. Went back to NexusHD2-Gingerbread and it would not respond either. I eventually just started hitting buttons rapidly while hitting the screen and it started to work. Restored everything and the phone (and screen) have been flawless for the last several days.
If this is strictly a hardware problem as several people claim here, it is very unusual.
We'll see what happens from this point forward but I am not convinced it is strictly a hardware issue.

IMO it is definitely a hardware issue, maybe affected by excessive flashing/heat/etc but not due to software/roms.
Btw, my own HD2 also suffered from a total defective TS some months ago (phone was about 3 months old) and it happened without any flashing with stock WM6.5 out of the blue. No TS response whatever I did. Had to send it to HTC for warranty repair. Got it back repaired and it's working rocksolid since w/o any issues. ATM I am using Gauners HD-FI nand rom and also used some custom WM6.5 roms before. So....
Just my 2 cents here.
Cheers, Olioaglio

I am not suggesting it is not a hardware issue, but I can't seem to figure why it has happened in this manner.
Screen has been rock solid in the almost one year that I have had the phone.
Twice it has happened right after flashing mdj roms. Once was even via clockwork so there was no usb cable connected (and therefore the battery/heat issue via usb theory doesn't apply).
And then once I finally get it to work again, screen is rock solid again.
If anyone has any ideas or theories, I would love to hear them.
Thanks

Weirdly enough, that was the EXACT SAME ROM I flashed when the touchscreen started dying. I kid you not.
MDJ's build (i think) is already over-clocked. Many times i used his build, my phone heats up fast.I don't know but in my case.this is what i experience. So every time i think my phone is heating. I eventually stop using it and let it rest for a while.Abuse the phone=brick phone.
Is there a way or a tool (Coolant maybe) that we can use so that our phone wouldn't heat up fast? (Couldn't imagine a fan tied to my phone..Haha)
I had my touch screen/phone completely died on me after flashing a nand build. It was fine before nand came out (and i've been flashing for many months now). But, sent it back to tmobile and got a new one. Don't know what the problem was but I had the same issue with OP. Not blaming NAND or anything but yeah...

problem with overheating

Hello. I got an htd off of ebay for parts or not working. It clearly stated that it vibrates and reboots. I was thinking that it was a software issue, and even after i updated the bootloader, still no go. it has bootloader 2.10 something, i cant check because im going to give this one last shot and wait till the battery is finished charging. i also noticed that it has an LG charger, which is ok, but after i read that it generates a lot of heat, well... the charger is rated at 5.7v could this have caused the cpu to overheat and its just a new brick? i dont have the time or patience to do any more. Not under warranty, i am a valued t-mobile customer since ive been with then for over 5 years. would it be would be worth fixing since its in near new condition or just move on?

As far as I found out over the time, these are the main factors:
- very good performance of CPU(high frequency, speed, computing power, in a few words HEAT);
- rather narrow space inside the device, because of design;
- (IMO) lack of a more performant solution of ventilation;
- composition of the alloy used to "solder" CPU on motherboard;
- habits of the owner to perform (probably) intense tasks for a (relatively) long period of time (games, movies, web browsing, etc) during device is on charging.
In a few words I may say HD2 is his own performances&design victim!

Evidently the location of the "END" key is also somewhat close to components on the motherboard (I've not disassembled one to see if this is true). I have read reports that this may form a critical path that causes overheating.
Mine is usually fine, but when using GPS, BT, Mobile, and the OS, I have had it get pretty hot. But with WinMo it did not have any lockup problems. With Android I have found that it is more likely the OS that hesitates if one runs too many applications at the same time.

Totally not true, no offence! It's like you'd say your dashboard lighter causes overheating to your car's engine!
There is no relation between END key and overheating, if you'd see an disassembled hd2 you'd figure out this!

Well, as I said I've not disassembled one. But it is not like the car example. If the end key is anywhere near components, pushing it frequently or hard could indeed cause interference, which could cause the over heating.
I'm going from memory a couple of years ago when the overheating issue came up. I myself seldom use the end key.

Well, I thought is well-known that using END-key, frequently or hard, mechanically interferes with touchscreen flex-ribbon causing touchscreen/digitizer failure over the time, but nothing related to CPU overheating.

I think it's normal for a stressed(heavy/multiple tasks used) hd2 to heat up, but a good one should face it successfully. Well, treating it this way for long periods of time(especially under charging), may result over the time in a CPU overheating failure.

I tend to agree with that, so long as the device doesn't lock up on me. When that happens, I replace the device.

[Q] Vertically jerking screen problem anybody?

Had been very pleased with this device in the the three months that I've had it. Until yesterday that is.
Basically the screen is jerking up and down on its own. When looking at the homescreen, the only way I can think to describe it is it's like 60% of the screen starting from the bottom is moving up and down by about 2mm on its own. I can see it eating pixels as it does so (it eats into home screen shortcuts). It also does this jerking motion when in an application or using a the keyboard.
I haven't dropped the phone, it hasn't got wet. It is completely stock unrooted and was bought SIM free in the UK in December and not tied to any network.
Things I've tried to fix it :
1.Numerous reboots.
2. Uninstalling the couple of apps that I'd installed around the time I noticed the problem.
3. Just done a full battery drain and now giving it a full charge keeping it switched off to see if does anything, (can't say I'm hopeful).
Next step is to back up / get my data off it and do a factory reset. Despite the bloatware, the stock ROM isn't too bad.
I was also thinking of just rooting it and running a cyanogen mod also.
Would be great if anyone has any ideas what I can try or if they've seen this issue before and remedied it. I can't find anything in Google and I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a random bad luck hardware problem -- which is worse than it might be on account of living in Southeast Asia -- but the device was purchased in the UK in December. Anybody know if there is such a thing as international warranty for LG phones ?
Thank you in advance.
I wouldn't root it send it to lg it sound like a serious hardware problem the g2 seems to be plagued with problems

Yeah I won't bother rooting it. A factory reset has made no difference and it's actually worse now and totally unusable, the screen just pogo's / jitters up and down an inch at time constantly.
The phone was bought on 22th of December, I'm pretty annoyed at getting little more than three months out of it. It would be understandable perhaps if I dropped it, or it go wet, none of these happened and the hardware has just failed for no reason.
For sure the LG repair centre where I livein Bangkok won't want to know as it was bought in the UK. And no doubt I'll get slammed for import duty both ways together with eating the postage sending back to the UK. I think I'll feel better taking a lump hammer to it and make a youtube stating what I think of £400 phones that last 2 months and carry no international warranty.
Have you dropped your phone?
Yep it is sad I hope my g2 doesn't go through the same thing i will definitely get a backup device sooner than later but like I said earlier the g2 seems to be plagued with problems which means the nexus 5 prob has the same problems maybe maybe not I'm a little nervous now because in the us most of us buy our phones locked with contract in the UK everybody buys there devices unlocked without contract from what I've heard if your looking for a new device I would wait for the xperia z2 looks very nice

Hello, same problem with me too, mine screen starts to jittering (like there is an earthquake inside my phone) after the latest update for kitkat, the updates says for optimising apps and such.
But recently i realize if i block my mobile data, and only using wifi for the data transfer, my phone stabilize much much better than when i used GSM/3G to do internet activity. When i used 3G my phone jittering like crazy, sometimes bottom half of my screen is gray pixels and bottom up of my screen dancing like crazy almost 70-80 % of the time. But when i block my mobile data and using only wifi, 80-90% of the time is OK, still a bit jitterish, but waaay much better.
There is also member of this forum experienced this and suggest to full cycle charger for couple of times. He say his phone stabilize after do full cycle charger (depleted ur battery until conpletely empty, than charge to 100% while turning off the phone). Im trying it tonight.
I also consult with some cellphone tech support (in shopping mall). They say maybe when i did my update, there are some data corruptions, so my phone did not update properly (corrupted). Because when you factory reset your phone, people said that it retain the latest update of software. So if you already did a corrupted update, it will stay even if you factory wipe the phone.

It's a hardware issue, it's been discussed on this forum dozens of times. If nothing helps (including updating to the latest available version), send it in for repairs.

Hello, same problem with me too, mine screen starts to jittering (like there is an earthquake inside my phone) after the latest update for kitkat, the updates says for optimising apps and such.
But recently i realize if i block my mobile data, and only using wifi for the data transfer, my phone stabilize much much better than when i used GSM/3G to do internet activity. When i used 3G my phone jittering like crazy, sometimes bottom half of my screen is gray pixels and bottom up of my screen dancing like crazy almost 70-80 % of the time. But when i block my mobile data and using only wifi, 80-90% of the time is OK, still a bit jitterish, but waaay much better.
There is also member of this forum experienced this and suggest to full cycle charger for couple of times. He say his phone stabilize after do full cycle charger (depleted ur battery until conpletely empty, than charge to 100% while turning off the phone). Im trying it tonight.
I also consult with some cellphone tech support (in shopping mall). They say maybe when i did my update, there are some data corruptions, so my phone did not update properly (corrupted). Because when you factory reset your phone, people said that it retain the latest update of software. So if you already did a corrupted update, it will stay even if you factory wipe the phone.

Im taking it in on LG Service Center this morning, the tech guy said its Hardware problem, about some sockets loose or something like that, He fix it and because im still have the warranty, so its free, no idea how much if the warranty is expired. And i still retain the KitKat OS (4.4.2). but my data is wiped out.
So far no jitters... I let you guys know if the jitters comeback.

Such a beautiful monster with so many hardware (screen or lcd) defects
I got same issue recently for many days, typically starts after turning screen on. Finally got it fixed by discharging fully and charging back again. No issue now. And I try not to charge phone too often only when battery is close to zero. Try charge and recharge a few times if it doesn't work. Works for me ?
Passing this on so others can benefit.
