[Q] G1 Startup Issue - G1 General

Hey, I'll make this as accurate as possible so that you guys can help in any way.
I've had this g1 for a while, but didn't really use it because I was using my Touch Pro2, but wanted to go back to it for a while. I charged it for a little while, and then tried turning it on, but what happened was that I saw a striped pattern, which disappeared and then the g1 vibrated. It happened again, but the colors weren't as bright, and then it vibrated again. After 2 or 3 more times that this happened, the g1 backlight stayed on, but the screen was blank, and it kept vibrating after a little while. After like 2 minutes of this happening, the backlight was still on, but the vibrating stopped, and the phone never turned on.
I tried connecting it to my computer, and couldn't do that because it didn't pop up on the computer screen (g1 screen is blank, but on). The charger works because the orange light comes on.
What is the problem, and how can i fix it?
any help will be much appreciated.
thank you
P.S. can't enter factory reset (holding down the home+end key), it does the same thing.

Screen doesn't turn on, Help!

Today at work my Touch HD's screen just stopped working. Had it sitting on my desk (not plugged into the PC) and i went to turn the screen on and nothing. Pulled the battery and turned it back on, phone briefly vibrated (as it does) but still nothing on the screen
I've confirmed the phone works fine by using MyMobiler, and i can still do everything on the phone. All soft keys still work, as well as swiping on the screen to unlock it. What else can i try?
I'd try a hard reset mate. But it does sound like you screen could be dead :-( and if you hard reset and your screen still doesn't come back then I doubt you'll be able to get back in via mymobiler either.

I have this problem with mine recently too.
Sent for servicing and seems that they need to change the whole board!
Looks like we have the same defective batch..

Screen is ON but stay black when I unlock the phone

Hi,
I just bought a HTC HD 2, French and unlocked version.
I have a big issue with my phone: The device start, I use it 10 Minutes then lock it (stand by).
When I push the wake up button, the phone seem to work but the sreen turn ON and stay Black... By saying the screen is ON, I talking about the backlight
I tried a Hrad reset several times but the screen is black at boot.
Can this black screen issue is caused by a software problem? Beacuse the screen work well for some minutes...
Thanks for your answers
If there isn't even a boot loader splash screen i would say its something major. If you have only just got it then i would take it back or have you flashed a custom rom or used goldcard to flash a different stock rom. If you haven't I would take it back.
I have had my HD2 for about three weeks now. It came with 1.43, but have later on upgraded to 1.48 and now Im running 1.61. Two days ago I started to encounter a really annoying problem.
When I wake up the screen and slide the button the home screen appear but after one second, the screen turns off back to lock. Then I can unlock again, and again one second later the screen is off and back to lock. This often continues until I remove the battery.
Have you experienced the same problem?
Optiknerd, Thanks for your answer. I called UPS on 24 December, they're coming today.
I was just hopping there was a solution...'cause it's hard to quit this phone....
I never installed a modified ROM. The firt black screen apaired 10min after my first use. Even at boot I can't see anything and I have to Push ON/OFF more than 20 times to wake the screen up....

Did you install any software when the phone was working okay?
Also, when you get the black screen, hold down the power button and see if you get anything. I've had mine go black screen on me and that brought up the quick list. I selected lock and it worked fine after that.
See this please http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606093, let me know if you have the same problem as me,cuz I havefigured out a solution and it works for me at least 2 days.

EVO won't stay "asleep"

My phone died today and when I got home to charge it, I noticed that after pressing the sleep/power button, the screen turns off and then about a second later comes back on. It does this regardless of if it's plugged in or not. I took it into Sprint and they're going to give me a new one when they get their paws on some. Right now I'm just looking for ANY possible work around to the problem.
I've done a factory reset, added a pattern/code, and installed NO LOCK but nothing can keep the screen from coming back on after pushing the power button...
(I also had another problem with the phone, the camera has a HOT PINK tinge about 85% opacity. I can go without the camera for a few weeks until the new one gets here but any help with that is very welcome)

Everything is stock.
Mine had a similar problem when I was on 2.1 I would charge the phone overnight and at some point in time the phone would turn the screen on and not turn back off. Or sometimes it would sitting on my desk and just randomly turn the screen on. After I upgraded to 2.2 it stopped. I never could figure out what was causing it to wake.
Are you using ChoiceDialer+? There is a known bug where the screen will not shut off after making a call with ChoiceDialer, though a reboot does fix it.

[Q] A serious problem with turning on

I had this HTC Mini that it was working very well and i had no problem with it. but suddenly, one day, I woke up and I found it off. it had turned off automaticly. i turned it on and it worked, with no problem. but after a few days, it got worse. this time, when it automaticly turned off, i wasn't able to turn it on right away. but i could turn it on, a few hours later.
after that, it worked well for almost 2 weeks, but then it turned off again and this time i couldn't turn it on, at all. I tried everything I could. I changed its ROM and used the last update. I also used its general ROM. I tried reseting it. but none of these did any go0d for me and it's still off and I can't trun it on.
it's nessecary to mention this... when I push the button to turn it on, it's not like the phone react nothing, like it's dead. it works and reacts. it turns on and the white screen for turning on and saying welcom, shows up. but after that, it stops on this white screen and does nothing. it always reacted like that but after almost 5 minutes, it would turned on completly. but now, it doesn't turn on, no matter how long i wait and keep it on with that white screen.
plzzzzzz help me, what's wrong with this cellphone??!
P.S: I think it's a hardware problem, because almost 3 months before happening all these, i had an accident while HD mini was in my pocket.

Now what rom are u using?
anyway if we will not resolve it the best thing will be this: install the lastes OFFICIAL rom for our devices and carry it to repair...
I tried the official rom, but it didn't work either. I carried it to a repair man, but he couldn't do anything about it. and here, in my country, the repair men are not go0d enough to fix any difficult problem.

[YotaPhone 2] YD201 e-ink screen randomly stopped working

I recently got a somewhat new YD201. It was never really in use and just laid there for about 1-2 years, so it was completely discharged. I started charging it, everything went fine - the back screen worked without any issues. Then, after some more charging, it randomly stopped. It's now stuck at a particular screen and won't move anywhere, even if I try unlocking it (I'm getting the vibrations but no visual feedback). No matter what I do, I'm stuck at a frozen back screen.
The phone seems to be usable outside of it but I'd like to use the back screen too if it were possible. Is there anything I could do? I already tried a factory reset but that didn't help.

Sounds like the screen is not getting any power. It could either be a faulty connection or even a broken screen. Maybe it got a nasty bump or was under a lot of pressure?
Were you using it when it froze or was it in between uses? Might someone have messed with it?
