hi,..
i own a HTC legend with A1 (Austria) Branding and made a 2.2 Over the air update. when i started to use it i thought that it would be faster but this has now rly changed.
Last thursday i could use my legend properly but then - 2 hours later the touchscreen didn't work any more .
i tried to unlock it but only the right side of the TS worked.
so i already tried some of the tips of some threads of XDA like hardreset , refreshing the update , and now it is a bit more useable , so i can slide the homescreen pages on different points but i cant start apps with touching..
Does anyone have a solving for this problem ?
I have no idea if the froyo update is responsible for this but I have the same problem. The top part of the screen is no longer responsive. I cannot slide the notification bar down and sometimes crazy things happen on the screen without tapping anywhere. This makes the phone practically unusable until I reboot and it usually works for some time even though the top part is not responding (notification or letter 'q' when in landscape).
Can I try something or I have to visit service? I cannot find the link where they explain how to change the refresh rate as you mention could you please provide it? also I found a couple of other threads dealing with similar problems and it looks like there is no solution am I correct ?
thanks
same thing happened to my Legend. After two months, the thing appeared, next few days all was good. Another two months and it came back. I had to send for service: they DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG and DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, anyway, after they sent it back to me, it's working again (until now, which is almost another two months)
My guest: there's some weird thing with the range/sensitivity of the touch screen, maybe a problem of the screen being magnetically/electronically charged without being discharged (as it should), after a while (e.g. a week) the problem disappears.
I far as I know, there's no solution. I have even found a clip on youtube (search for 'htc legend touch screen problem' or something) describing the same situation, maybe you should take a look there to for a abetter description of the case.
Anyone, please, if you know a way out of this, please, post it!
I have the same problem, the top notification bar cannot be pulled down in portrait and in all orientations I cannot use the touchscreen near the HTC logo. Mine is an unbranded and the problem just started this morning. I am running a custom rom from here and have been running the same one for a while so I don't believe the ROM is responsible.
Edit after using multitouch visible test from the market, it turns out I can't get a response that is higher than pixel 57 vertically.
I have already sent mine for service under warranty. I hope everything turns out well, because I really like my legend (form factor/design/specs). After the slow down I experienced with the froyo upgrade this problem came to spoil all these months of happiness. I will keep you posted.
EDIT:
I got my Legend back from service 3 days ago and everything looks fine at the moment. I hope that my bad froyo experience has ended.
According to the documents I received they just performed a ‘software upgrade’. This means that the problem was related to software. I guess some files could have been corrupted during the OTA froyo update. Maybe that also explains the sluggish froyo experience.
I can only suggest that before any critical updated a factory reset should be performed and hope for the best. I will update this thread if this serious problem with the touchscreen ever returns.
yeah i sent i to the warranty service too . But they said that the problem has mechanical reasons. So they suggested to repair it for 218(!!) Euros . -.-
I had exactly the same problem HTC have repaired it under waranty, so must have been a software issue, looks lik eits happening to quite a lot of poeple, pretty unacceptable consideringhow long it took them to release the Froyo update, not sur ethey bothered to test before releasing
Solution for screen problem ( HTC LEgend)
I had this problem also with my phone
touch screen works only for certain part of my screens
the top part where i cannot access
Solution
I change digitizer and
everything works well
only buy the digitizer from ebay and replace with the one that is not working
and everything should be fine after that
good luck
if you have question
Hi All
Was using SD versions of Android in my HD2 which worked quite well .....decided to make the jump to NAND recently but I'm having a problem with phone calls.
When I make a call out, everything works fine, but when I hang up on the call, the hard buttons on the bottom of the phone all light up but the screen doesn't turn back on.... Only way to get the screen back on is to plug in the USB cable or power adapter or pull the battery and do a reboot!
Have tried a couple of different builds from different chefs and a couple of Radios just in case.
At the moment I've got the following on it:
Radio is 2.12.50.02_2
Android version is 2.2.1
Build is DL DesireZ v3.4 Final (but this problem also happens with CleanDROID V1.31)
Also tried an MTTY Task 29, reload of MAGLDR then re-flash of the NAND in case traces of my previous ROM were still around but that hasn't helped either.
Any ideas?
I seen many threads about same situation. Actually i itself use daily gpc hd2 gingerbread v1.5 with same problem. Sometime help back button (when call ended not at me). Sometime just more light to proximity (or it light) sensor (when inside and put phone with face to some light). Outside i just must turn phone with face to sun or good light then screen wakes up.
I tested many many nand roms. All have same problem.
Tested win 6.5, win 7 and sd version, they works well. That gives confirmation that my proximity (or it light) sensor works well. And finally that something wrong with nand.
Here was discussion that MAGLDR does that. NO.
I started run over net and find solution. Here seems no help for this right now. Maybe just problem ignored because cookers itself dont have this and cant do anything. If you dont have problem then how you can fix it.
On web i found some discussion about kernel problem or smth about this proximity sensor. I cant find it right now again. There was talking about this problem, but no solution.
I thinked about open new thread and invite kernel chiefs to discussion to solve this problem. But today i find your ask. I opened for any test and help that i can give. I dont be afraid to lose my phone if something must go wrong. Phone is just piece of electronic and you can replace parts. But knowledge and experience you cant buy.
Any ideas how to resolve this little bad thing?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes it's a real problem but mine won't wake up no matter how much light.
The only way I can get it to wake up is to plug it in to power, then the screen wakes up.
Is that the same as yours?
I i remember it right i was suprised once too if this happened. I just put my "again dead" phone to charging and its waked up.
If screen is dead and same time connected to pc (i use for managing inside phone androidcommander) then moving over dirs wake screen back too.
But lets look how long my nerves will be good. Today i thinked to move back win 6.5 and sell this bastard.
No don't sell we need to resolve! I'm hoping someone will look at this thread and help us figure out why this is happening. I can't believe we are the only 2 people who have this issue.
Anyone else have any ideas as to why this is happening?
This issue was also on sd versions. So I see nand has not fixxed it. I am running MDJ HD 4.6 and have this issue. Sometimes the light sensor works properly and other times it goes to black screen and gets stuck.
I read somewhere that it might be the hardware itself. Saw a video on youtube also. Seems the european T8585 and telstra T9193 might have poor light sensors. The T-mobile light sensor supposedly does not have this problem.
So I am guessing anyone with this problem does not have the T-mobile USA version??
It could just be drivers too. It is a pain and sometimes I wish I could just disable the light sensor.
Also NAND roms are no better than sd versions as far as bugs. If the sd version has the bugs then so will the NAND version. The build is just installed at a different location.
Yes good point.... the bug will be replicated as it's just where the OS is stored that's different.
I'm thinking it's the hardware as I have this problem on WinMo6.5 too and I have tried various WinMo roms but had the same problem.
Mine is a UK HD2 supplied by O2. Wish there was a fix for it :-( It's a real problem.
PS I ran PhireMOD's Skinny EVO SD Android for a while and didn't have as much as a problem as I have had with the 2 NAND roms I've tried..... if that's any clue? At least with that rom I was able to make calls and hang up and still get the screen back after I hung up (except for the screen going white and washed out which could only be resolved by a reboot). There was still the problem with the screen being on all the time during a call or the screen being black and not coming back on during a call though.
I have these sort of problems too. It's really annoying when you're in a phonecall and you take the phone away from your ear and it takes a few secs to turn on. Also when I'm unlocking it.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
At least yours comes back on lol mine stays off for ages and ages and sometimes doesn't come back on at all!
Noticed that if I shine a torch into the proximity sensor that's the only way I can get the thing to turn back on :-( Also noticed the 2 little holes where the prox sensor sits appear dirty/cloudy... not sure how that happened.
I wonder if the prox sensor is busted or if it's just dirty or something? Going to get a T5 Torx and take my phone apart to find out if it's something I can resolve.
Well i had this with rafpignas kernel...i changed to markinuX today and tested it with over 10 calls and it works flawlessly right now
Hmm, are you sure g9650? Seems my guess about kernel was then true. I use gpc pure gingerbread 1.6 with gpc itself made kernel. I go right now replace kernel and test. Results tomorrow.
Took the phone apart yesterday night and uncovered the proximity sensor. Even out of the case it needs a torch/flashlight to shine on it to bring the screen back on :-( I honestly think the proximity sensor hardware isn't working anymore.
I'll try the kernal you suggested though just in case that's what's causing the problem.
Datas0ft let me know if it works for you?
Latz, actually i taked to test markinus extra clean 1.7.1 (right now on it itype this). Had one call before and no changes.
Also i stuck on taking out kernel at this version. Low knowledge. Dont find any help yet on xda. I work on it. If you have hints dont hestitate say.

:-( I was hoping we found a miracle cure! Ok let me flash mine tonight and try it to see if mine behaves any different. Will post back with results... let me know fi anything changes with your phone datas0ft.

Can anyone upload MarkinuX Kernel please? Thanks
Ok. Searched forum. Finded way how to get kernel at some nand. Got MarkinuX kernel and now test. Test will be during whole day tomorrow on different conditions.
For kernel extract and install is this thread very good. Helped and teached me.
marcosxd i taked needed files for you and attached.

Quick question, the zip file you gave me only has two .ko files and zImage while the original rafdroid kernel has like 5 .ko files... what should I do? copy raf's kernel .ko files missing into markinux ones?
Or just pack the zip file using two .ko files? Thanks
I cant ansver. Dont have much knowledge on this. I followed instructions. This taked to me these three files. I installed these.
I finded some problems right now (wifi and gps dont work and my 3g too). This may not happen at kernel side. I have made some changes on rom side. I go replace whole rom and then again kernel. Then i go make final decisions.
I'm having the same problems, you two are not the only ones. This has been really frustrating me lately, and I thought it might have been a problem for only me because I just had the screen replaced. It worked fine in winmo 6.5, now in NAND I'm having some issues. I text a lot more than I actually call, however so it's not that big of a problem for me right now
Hello!,
After trying a numerous NAND roms for my HD2, on every of them the accelerometer is not working. But flashing back to winmo everything is OK and accelerometer works.
Problems having : No screen rotation, no games work which need accelerometer, no bubble meters and so on.
I saw lots of threads here, but none of them were answered. Also some fixes out there from january, but its is said that new kernels include that fix.. Being really desperate about the accelerometer to start working tryed everything , all those fixes - none of them worked.
I really would appreciate if somebody would say a 100% answer if they had same problem and is it for EVERYONE that you are chilling around without accelerometer with NAND roms?
Or, a nicely explained , or some new fixes around there, to fix that..?
I have European HD2, Bought in Estonia. 2.15 radio, and RAFDroid build atm 4.02
Before teyed all cyagenmod build from MDJ, imilka builds, Coredroid, etc.
Waiting for a adequate anwer!, and Thank you in advance!
Daniil.
No pb for me with each Nand i tested. (prj Clean Desire, typhoon, Hyperdroid)
i had this to on my sd build i used to have but when i went to NAND everything was fixed
maybe you can try to recalibrate it in android?

Usually d G-Sensor/Accelerometer has been pre-calibrated while cooking d android build...I've never had such a problem on SD, NAND or RAM builds....Perform a Task 29 on ur device and try flashing the build contained in my signature....CMY's work has always been great...
Done task29, done recalibration in android, everything... same. There is numerous people having the same prob , as i have seen from questions subforum.

Hmmm...Since it works on WinMo, try recalibrating it there and then run an android sd build (i just tried "Desire_DL" series and all was ok....on d other hand, have u tried d NAND build in my sig?
I have tryed everything, including your builds in the signature.... Nothing helps
Help!
Try the post that is in my sig, there is alot of info in there that might be of use to you. What definitely controls the G-Sensor is the bma150_usr file. If nothing in my post helps you at all, then I am unable to help you further since I dont have a Eu HD2. But I still believe that there might have been a revision which might explain your troubles as well as some other people.
Tryed that also, no help at all.

True it wasn't but IT IS...I and several others are proof it works beautifully on the HD2, even better than some native android devices...I offered a suggestion n its ur call 2 tk it or leave it...I on d other hand, love my current android build on my HD2.
Have u tried this workaround?
P.S. Oh yeah, and my accelerometer/g-sensor works perfectly in apps n games.
I mean, yeah it is working, but... not working for my device. And the point was that i can't take it to my local shop for a return, as the g-sensor works for the WinMo, and they will say that its your fault that it isn't working in android. Yeah i know that accelerometer works on androids on the Tmobile HD2-s
And yeah, i have tryed
Different type of g-sensor
I understand that some newer builds of the HD2 have a different type of g-sensor. I have x4 HD2's. 3 are working perfectly with HyperDroid CM7 cheerful cheetah. The forth is used by my company co-director which I recently tried to move over to the HyperDroid CM7 cheerful cheetah from WM6.5. This is when I came across the problem. Very annoying. The fact is that this device went back to HTC to repair/replace a cracked screen (I dropped the device last June). I suspect they gave me a reconditioned or replacement unit with the "updated" sensor.
Please advise me if there are any new developments. I can confirm that the HD2 (with the working g-sensor) has incredible battery life and is only my no.2 device because of the 8mp camera on the DesireHD.

Jay

Hi Jay, I've got a similar problem.
Actually, I've got (or had) an EU model, and my screen cracked, so it has been out for repair. So both descriptions in this post (yours and Auralol's) fit my problem. I have been looking for a fix for a while now, did you find anything?
I would love it to work, it really is the only thing that doesn't. If this is fixed, my HD2 would be perfect and irreplaceable.
If you find anything that helps, keep me posted?
Kind regards,
Bas
Hey Bas,
I contacted vfuk & simply said that there was a problem with the g-sensor on my HD2... The helpful telephone attendant asked me to remove the battery, memory and sim cards and a replacement device would be with me the next day. The following day the courier took the troubled HD2 and handed me a new Desire HD albeit without the antenna and battery covers. I have a spare battery and ordered the covers from expansys.
I did explain to vfuk what happened - they said I wasn't to worry.
At the time of writing I now have x4 dhd's and a working HD2 with HyperDroid which I am going to give to a pal to lure him away from Nokia...
I now have no way of helping you further. Sorry bout that.
Best,
Jay

Heyy Jay,
Thanks for the reply. So, you kind of worked around the issue Sounds like great customer service. Too bad my provider does not work like that.
Just being curious if you had the same problem as I am facing now, did you try to retrieve / read data from the sensor (i.e. with "sensor debug")? I tried yesterday, didn't get any data at all. Probably means Android doesn't see the sensor, or it is indeed a different sensor and therefore needs other drivers.
I just downloaded some e-books about android and java, just to see how it works with hardware. Maybe it is possible to implement my 'own' drivers in a ROM to make sure the sensor can be detected at least. I guess it is going to be my pet project to find a solution, and when I do, I'll probably try to get it posted on xda. But then again, my programming skills are minimal at this point (just some Basic, html and Step 7), so it might take me a while...
Anyway, thanks for the reply. Too bad your solution does not work for me (I would not mind that either).
Kind regards,
Bas

Hi,
I'm having the same issue as you and was wondering if you had made any progress or if there is anything I could help you with although my programming knowledge is probably more limited than yours. Anyway this issue seriously needs to be looked at! :'(
Still no fix?
Hello, I know it is old thread, but I see there are more people than only me having this issue. Same thing happens to me. Accelerometer isnt working on Android, but it works great on WinMo. I tried a lot of ROMs, "fixes", but nothing helped at all. I used apps like Sensor debug, and sensor list, seems that they dont see my g sensor at all, like someone said before. As I know, g sensor is connected with bma150_usr file, but I used my Root Explorer to search for that file and there is no such a file at all. Shouldnt it come to my device with other ROM files? Yes, I tried to put it where it should be, but the same s**t again... Is there anyone who solved this thing? Because I dont see any solutions mentioned in the whole xda forum.
Looking forward for answers which REALLY helps.
Hi,
I have this same problem, My g-sensor didin't work on AMeriCan Android.
I was reading a topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902129, and my question for this: How I can delete files
Before installing the file above, go to System/Bin and delete the bma150_usr, then navigate to Data/Misc, and delete the following files:
AK8973Prms.txt
AK8973.Prms.txt.tmp (If there)
bma150_usr.txt (If there)
After navigate to the above file and add it to System/BIN and then your calibrating will function correctly and adjust the values properly.

I have just installed WP7 and when it started the touch screen doesnt want to work at all. On everything it said it was installed successfully and i did every step in the guide -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833.
Buttons works.. i can volume+ and - and i can also lock the phone but due to not working touch i cant work with it..
Anyone? Its not broken .. it was working great on the Android before the flash. Please i really need to know what to do.
Edit: I even tried installing v4 but still doesnt works.... :x
Im really sorry for triple posting but this is getting annoying. All day im trying other and other ways, flash back to WM6.5 .. TOUCH SCREEN WORKS ITS NOT GOD DAMN BROKEN ... I've send a PM to the developer of the ROM, guess what no answer.. i dont want to get back to WM6.5 .. I've used to flash 4 NAND androids (the best ones) each one of them in the main functions shows at least 2 bugs which are annoying like freezing display or my favorite - i cant hang up... i posted a thread in the Q&A Android forum about this, again no answer... I ONLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO to get my touch screen responding and working on my god damn WP7 so i can stop getting freezing stupid display and to be able to god damn hang up.. IS IT that hard!?!?!? Oh the best one is - i cant post to the main topic of the rom because according to the forum rules the newbies are idiots and they cant recognize any bugs in the rom so they can report it!... Jesus Christ give me a f***ing answer how to fix my touch screen driver or something or whatever i want my god damn phone working........
Hello I have the same problem, I went back to Windows Mobile 6.5 but the problem remains !!!!!! The touch does not work anymore!! How do you solve this problem??http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
Hello you some news? I hope you do not have to buy the new touch screen!
For the original poster, I have no idea, sorry. For the second poster, it definitely sounds like your digitizer is broken. Have the same problem with my HD2. You can get them for cheap on Amazon, but replacing it takes some skill. Don't know where you live, but most repair shops will do it for around $50 here in the states.
Same here. i tried the YukiXda/Xboxmod Rom and after a reboot the touchscreen stops working. Will report to the devs. do not worry my friend
Hey darky, did you try installing the old HTC drivers on your WP7? Not sure if you did, or if that particular rom uses the newer drivers, but that could potentially help out. I found the old drivers in the Xboxmod cab update thread. Don't know if the rom you're using supports cabs or not, I've only used xboxmod & yukis rom. Search that thread, would post a link but using my phone at work.

Same as you, over here. As soon as I updated to SP1 & rebooted, no more touchscreen! But mine wouldn't work in any OS, including WM6.5. So I think my digitizer just had bad timing for me, but who knows could be rom related.
Thank you all for taking time to answer!
@lorispari No i couldn't get it fixed at all, your problem sounds different than mine because my touchscreen works with other OS without problem.
@JonnieLasVegas I haven't tried, i only tried different radio version and reinstall of the HSPL... though i dont know how much that could help me because im still new with the smartphones... as far as i see this HTC HD2 is really great but has a lot of factory bugs in hardware and software side (if i could say it that way). Even with stock WM 6.5 it had a lot problems. Anyway when i saw the thread with all the known bugs that WP7 has... i just clicked the HTC Leo: HD2 category and switched back to Android ICS which was another mistake because i forgot its still buggy as hell so im flashing atm to Gingerbread however in few months im selling this phone and getting HD7, hope till then there will be a category for him (or it may have.. i havent checked)
Thanks again for the answers! Appreciate it!
My screen was unresponsive twice. Turns out digitiser was broken. So had to flash to stock rom and send to htc for repair
If you need a fix, pm me, found one
Installed IceCreamTosti HD2 ROM 0.9 worked well for a day or two then all of a sudden my screen would stop working when it went to sleep. I researched and found that there is an undervoltage script that could be causing this problem. So i deleted the script. Then it started happening again. Task29'ed, installed HyperDroid Gingerbread Xtreme to see if that would fix my problem, nope still happening. It works when it wants but the funny thing that if I get it to work, I can use it until I have to go back to the previous screen, then I would have to hit the power button to put it to sleep, unlock it for the screen to become responsive. I know it sound like a Digitizer problem but I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions before I buy it.
Thanks!

I've already read that. Thanks
Im just seeing if it could be a Kernel problem or something of that sort.
I've had this problem on one of the ROMs i used, not sure which one since i didn't stay on it for to long.
After i flashed a different ROM it fixed it. This might seem like a lot of work but why not reinstall MAGLDR,
CWM & a new ROM. Maybe try RAFDROID HD. Yes i know its a really old ROM but its a goodie and this
would be for test purposes anyway. You can always switch back.
I read the mentioned thread before too and im sure it does sound like it happens but since it happened so
soon after you installed a new ROM it makes me think its the ROM, eventhough you tried to reinstall a
different one. Maybe you can make a backup of your SD card and repartition both your phone and SD.

It works when it wants but the funny thing that if I get it to work, I can use it until I have to go back to the previous screen, then I would have to hit the power button to put it to sleep, unlock it for the screen to become responsive. I know it sound like a Digitizer problem but I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions before I buy it.
Thanks!

After reading the other guys thread about the end key it does seem like a bad digitizer . i read other threads explaining your exact same issue . the only way to figure out if its ROM related is to flash the stock winmo 6.5 ROM . yes , i said it , winmo but thats the last resort before deeming something hardware related . if you tried the end key option , pressing really hard on the key , then i guess i would change tto winmo and try to see if it still happens then
I do have to admit it could just be coincidence and the digitizer went up but considering this happened
only a few short days after he installed a new ROM makes me feel that there is a possibility its the ROM,
or maybe even the partition he changed (if it applies) when flashing that ROM over. I still suggest to start
over from MAGLDR on, including repartitioning your phone to the proper needs of the new ROM to see
if it helps before doing something drastic like reverting back to winmo.
Thanks for the help everyone, opened the phone up. Was hard as hell! But I cleaned the dust on the contacts under the end button, still no luck. I bought a new phone. Going to get a digitizer down the road and fix this one, If anyone want to buy it just let me know.
You will get a lot more people to see your interested in selling the phone if you post it in the xda marketplace found here.
Just open a new thread there and post how much you would want for the phone. I'm sure people would be interested
especially when you can get a new digitizer off ebay for so cheap.
change an other rom,if the problem still exist,i am sorry to tell u that u should send it to fix the touch screen..
