i am a newbie to this site. I am using htc hd2 and it worked good until yesterday. suddenly today the touch screen is not responding but all the other buttons working good. i made a soft reset,hard reset but no use still touch not responding. Can anybody please give the solution for this. I am having some important information in the mobile and i hided with file hider software. now i am unable to open it. somebody respond please.
The digitizer is most likely dead. It's caused by the power/end button on the HD2. You can try push the call and end button at the same time while at the lock screen and see if it will give you any functionality. Seen that helped for somebody on here before. Only other ways are to take the phone apart or to replace the digitizer.

you press both call AND end call buttons at the same time
If you get some touch functionality back you may find using MyMobiler (link in Sig) helpful in operating your device & recovering/backing up important files.
MyMobiler allows you to navigate the device via PC/notebook mouse/touchpad & keyboard thus overcoming the problem of dead touch panel.

Yes no touch response is s common for faulty digitizers. Yes you can do it yourself ic you want, but be warned the HD2 is said to be a somewhat difficult to take apart and put back together unless you are just very apt at doing such things. You also need to know that you can get a digitizer and LCD combo for a somewhst dicent price. If you have the T-Mobile 1024 HD2 you will not have to solder your new digitizer to the mainboard. If you have the EU or any other HD2 you will have to solder the new digitizer to the mainboard.This might help you make your decision.

how much it costs to repair approx
$200 I think is the average, if you have the T-Mobile version & can handle dismantling electronics it is quite simple to do yourself but care, some luck & research is required.

Hello guys, from around 1-2 Mounths my Volume Down Key is broken.. so its not totally broken.
I think from a long use of my Blackstone and alot of flashing that is the reason why Down is broken also its strange that is not totaly broken, you know that when you remove the back cover the volume buttons are really small and they look black like some kind of plastic so exactly the plastic of the down volume key is broken and now im able to see under that black plastic the metal.. so with fingers i can press it so i can flash new ROMs without a problem but didn`t work when the cover is there and the volume down button just can`t do anything.. i think that other users here can have the same problem because in all Blackstone this is the same material used and etc so if anyone have expirience like this or any suggestion how can i fix this will be very cool
thanks in advance
Funny, my blackstone has the exact same physical problem, making the vol down key more difficult to press, the lower half of the internal one that black plastic you mention on mine is broken.
I read in the hints of the blackstone wiki that if your phones under warranty you could try to get the carrier to fix it, but thats not an option for me since I pulled mine completely apart.
I think its best if you can substitute the broken plastic with something maybe, I really haven't bothered for mine since the button still actually works with the case on it just needs a firmer press.
I have repaired plastic damage on pc cases before (broken front door hinges and such), I just used superglue, some of those plastic 5.1/4" or the 3.1/2" ATA clips you get on some cases, and a stanly.
Im sure I could carve out a small piece plastic that would work.
If you really want to go one further, then what I can suggest is taking the two plastic back covers off your phone, and actually repairing the black plastic part on the back cover, my guess is you could use a couple of layers of heat shrink and glue and with enough time and effort achieve a good result, see, the actual volume button PCB hopefully isnt damaged for yours, as it isn't for mine, and if thats the case then its actually just that internal black cover that is a tiny bit broken.
I fix it today and i will explain how if anyone have the same problem to know what to do its very easy for around 1 minute work and now work perfect:
Because of the broken half plastic of the volume down button the problem was that when im with back cover and i press the volume down key didn`t work because the back cover dont button when is pressed cannot press the volume down button that is on the device.. because all is so tinny and this black plastic that is on the button is around 1/10 of the milimeter very very tinny but on the same time this is enought the button to cannot be pressed. So i remove the back cover and from paper tape i cut one litle squere with the size of the button .. but because the paper tape is really really tinny i put 3-4 paper tapes in one they to become more chik then i apply the paper tape exactly on the down button and then put the back cover so now when i press the volume down button work again because this paper tape help the button to be pressed
Very easy fix for 1 minute.. of course better will be if you don`t have problems like this.. but when heppan you know what to do
nice work!
Looking back at the images I took when replacing my touchscreen and lcd, I noticed that the part of plastic that does suffer the damage isn't actually a part of the outer shell casing, but is actually applied in some way over the top of the soldered buttons on the tiny volume PCB (& ribbon), therefore, you could always take off the shell, remove the pcb with tweesers, apply a small it of electrical tape, and put it back together to achieve a more permanent result
I should've done this when i fixed my screen, I might look into fixing it in the above way in the near future as the volume down button doesnt work that well currently.
I did have exactly the same problem with my volume down key....
Because I still was in the period of the guarantee I sent my phone back to HTC repair center I get it back after 2 weeks with a new volume down key (they changed that broken very very thin plastic) and now it works again perfectly!

The question is if you have a Hardware problem like this broken plastic do u need to re flash to stock ROM when you are going to ask for repair? or when you dont have any problem with the device.. because the volume down key have nothing to do with the software etc do u can go to ask for repair with costum rom?

No way you always have to flash the stock rom (and stock spl!!! they check if "olinex" is there in bootloader!) when you send your phone to the repair center... so did I.
Although this broken vol key has nothing to do with the software the repair center has done a complete test of the phone. And this includes flashing the newest stock rom again. Yes, although I have flashed the latest official HTC rom when I send it to repair center they do that again (after they repaired my device)!! So you always get a completely blank phone back from this repair center.
(spoken from the repair center here in germany but I think this is always the same in every country)
I ask because here in Bulgaria i think we do not have official HTC repair center.. so when i buy the device from somewhere they give me 2 years waranty but from them i mean.. if i have troubles i need to go to the places from where i buy the device and they will repair it.. they will not send it to HTC official or anything else..
thats is the reason why i ask you

same here in germany... i get the name/adress for this repair center from my shop where i bought my touch hd. And then I had the choice if I send my touch hd to my shop (and then they send it to this adress) or I send it myself to the repair center.
I think it'll be the same in other countries. HTC has "partners" in every country for such repair/warrenty things. For germany the repair center is called "arvato services solutions GmbH" (so not an official HTC firm I think)
I had a crack at replacing the digitiser in my Tattoo and broke the volume control connection in the process. All else seems to be OK but alas, no display on boot up. Phone vibrates and makes noises but that's it.
So if anyone has a Tattoo good for parts or a link to parts supplier web site that would have what I want then Yippee! Let me know.
Also, any clues on replacing the volume control buttons?

I've run into a problem as of late. The top 1/4" of my touch screen only works sometimes, and when i long press the power button and the power off menu comes up the entire touch screen stops working but the hard buttons still work fine, and if i get out of the power off menu the touch screen still doesnt work. I figure this has to be some sort of software problem.
Has anyone else experience this? I figure this has to be some sort of software problem. i did a task 29 and formatted my sd card and everything but the problem still persists. If any one has anyone can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated. It's a very annoying problem. Im using hyperdroid gbx v11
It's not a software but a hardware problem...i hope your phone is still under warranty, because you need a display and/or digitizer replacement. The hd2 has a construction weekness, the digitizer's connector is under the power off button, so if you push hard or very often that button, that can causes this error...a lot of people in this board have/had this problem

thankfully im still under warranty. Thanks for the help
I just got an HD2 so I could run mango.
Only one problem though.
The hardware buttons are pressing each other.
For example,most of the time when i press the back button ,it presses the power button instead. It's like the spring or whatever is pressing down both if them and hutting the power button first. It also happens a lot when I press the Windows button,which will press down the back button instead. It's definitely a hardware issue. Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone have a possible fix?
Thank you!
Somehow, the flex assembly for the buttons became misaligned. You will have to take apart your hd2 to fix it..

I watched the disassembly video when I replaced the housing of my HD2, and you have to take it apart pretty much completley to reach the buttons.
The risk of damaging something is pretty high, isn't it?

You got your HD2 used? I would guess it's a sign of wear.
I'm experiencing the same problem, not most of the time, but sometimes.
Since I'm on Android I started using Button Savior some time ago, hopping I can preserve my buttons a little longer. Don't know if there's a similar app for WP7.
...but sooner or later it'll be time for a new device.
Yeah, you will have to buy new tape or use CA glue to seat the lcd/digitizer assembly back onto the chassis when you put it back together. The risk of damaging isn't that high if you be careful to not touch the button contacts (they will fall off but it can be fixed with tiny drops of super glue) and careful not to rip any flex cables.
Hi,
I just recently disassembled my HTC HD2 to replace the digitizer + lens and now it works, but I believe I may have scratched the LCD during process because now there are scratches/blurring on the top right portion of the screen (as seen in this pic imgur.com/vYjbn)
I just want confirmation that it definitely is the LCD that's causing the issue as I'm about to order one to fix my mistake, or if it's some other component that I overlooked.
Also, the up volume button doesn't work but the down one does. I've tried probing it with tools (since I lost the yellow/black bumper thing), but it's unresponsive no matter what. Anything I can do about that?
Thanks in advance!
cracked LCD, new LCD needed ...
Yellow black popper cap is needed as that is the button ...

The bottom one works without a button however, when I probed it with a flathead. For some reason the top one doesn't work. I don't think not having the button is the sole reason, perhaps a link was broken or shorted.
Black part in cap is the contact pad to bridge the points on the button board, without the cap the button has no feel & no function. Never seen volume work when missing & I come across a few that have been missing or temporary missing during assembly.
