Finally Killed it.

After droping my x7501 a number of times and allways being able to soft reset my way back to operability, I droped it this morning and it is DEAD.
Soft reset-Nothing
Hard reset- Nothing
Pull Battery-4.01v no help.
Any suggestions before I send it to HTC for repair?
BTW Totaly stock ROM
Thanks
Joe

If you are not dead poor, buy yourself a new HTC X7510.

Sorry to hear it and no, don't get an x7510!
I have no ideas to help but was wondering what Pull Battery is?

That's the problem! No one uses the stock ROM!!! Your poor device probably got so depressed with it that it gave up and killed itself!
Do you get no lights at all? Even when plugging in to the mains?

I assume that means he has pulled the battery out and put it back in - it cures lots of ills...

Im so sorry about your 7501. Yes reseating the battery (taking the battery out and putting it back in) is the first thing Id try after hard reset didnt work. In fact, Id probably try pulling the battery out and in 4 or 5 times as on my unit the battery seems to need to fit just right. If I had a second battery I might swap the battery out just to see what happened. Of course if the 7501 under warrantee I might just ship it back. But if it wasnt under warrantee and your not gett ing any lights when you try to recharge Id suspect a power problem, something isnt connecting right perhaps. If its not under warrantee Id gently shake, rattle? Something bad is loose? Id examine the miniusb connector. Can I see anything abnormal? Does it the connector, move with my finger? When I charge does anything happen when I push on the miniusb cord against the unit . back and forth, hoping lights would come on. No? THen Id probably try taking apart to see what i could see. Especially Id try to look at the left side where the miniusb power connects and id look at where /?the location of the drop/dent for obvious damage. Sorry thats all basic. If under warrantee you might not want to open it up as that might void the warrantee.

Ya, Pulled the Battery and checked the Voltage 4.01v.
Replaced the Battery. All No good.
Planning on sending it in to be evaluated ($28)
May look for another one one as a backup. Right now I have gone back to my Dell X5.

It is <1yr old. No Lights and nothing rattling when I shake it Hooking up the USB power still gets nothing and activesync does not see it. No clue on damage as there is no outside damage. Might be as simple as somthing inside becoming disconnected. or as bad as a PWB broken.
Thanks for the input

When I first got my x7501 the Bluetooth did not work so I sent it in and it was repaied under warentee. This was last March.

Sorry not to have followed up on this.

I just picked up a backup unit off of ebay. I DO love this unit

[FUN] Elf in the refrigerator

Hi, I'm the proud owner of an ELF(in). I bought it on ebay very cheap because it was in bootloader mode. Thanks to the gold card method I've been using it with no problems at all.
Yesterday I bought another one (ELF), it hangs after 3-5 seconds of power on (bootloader, loading windows, etc). Sometimes the screen just shuts off, sometimes everyting becames green. So, I decided to put it in the refrigerator and see what happens. After 15 minutes I powered it up and it works! I take it out and hangs almost immediately. Is this just a faulty unit? No hope for it? (I don't want to carry my refrigerator everywhere).
If someone has any ideas, I'm listening.
Thanks!

hahaha, i love this post. sorry i'm not able to offer too much help but I had to comment. I know my parents used to freeze batteries to make em last longer. Tried a different one?

Well yeah, I tried soft reset, hard reset, the battery from my working Elfin, etc.

Try the microwave... for two minutes?

There already was a thread about this problem (maybe you bought it) and already then my answer was to take the device apart clean all the dust and dirt inside and give it another shot. I had a nokia with the same problem and when i opened it it was full with dust and fibres from my pants everytime whe put it in our pants there comes a bit of dirt in it and because of the rubbing it acumulates inside the device and it enters in protection-mode (nice word????) because of overheating ate least that was the explanation they gave me when i contacted nokia at the time.........You can't loose anything by trying

I already cleaned up, and still the same. It's clearly an overheating problem, it's been in the refrigerator for a couple of hours and works like a charm. Not very useful though as it's no longer a "portable device"!

Is there not a small watch size battery in these devices - Perhaps it needs replacing?
See picture I included at the bottom of the device. I got this picture from the complete disasembly guide in the elf forum.

I knew about people who used the refrigerator to overclock their PCs, but this thing you're doing is amazing!

I used a small box with ice when I connected it to the PC for rom updating, perhaps I should carry that box. I know it sounds bizarre but it works fine when refrigerated!

Any more ideas on how to fix this Elf?

try booting into windows and looking at the cpu speed, if it is normal lower it to the minimum and see if it hangs then.
eitherway, u must try reflashing everypiece of firmware, especially the radio firmware before giving up. (yeah, u might have to put ur laptop in the fridge with the phone )

Try lowering the clock speed with and Overclocking tool. Homescreen ++ gives u temp report. With that u can know if the temp is the real problem.

Liquid Nitrogen is the answer

Fix a fan on it
Haha, how about fixing a computer fan at the back of the pocket pc, it needs cooling.
Maybe the temperature sensor of the ppc has been spoilt, reporting the wrong data to the brain, thus the ppc restarts.

Ok, finally my Elf is working with no crashes at all outside the fridge! I found the solution in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476152.
Thanks to Firestarter42 for the tip and okti for the mini-tutorial. I think that info should be in Elf's Wiki page.
However! I've got another problem... I've attached a screenshot. Any ideas?

Droped my HD down the bog...but...

...it's still working!
I think it's the luckiest HD in the world.
It was in it's stock pouch and was scooped out within seconds. The battery quickly taken off and with the back off, card out, etc put straight into the airing cupboard (the little cupboard where the hot water tank is). This all happened at about 8am this morning. Got a call from the girlfriend at about 4pm this afternoon telling me she'd put it back together and it was cool. Wasn't too happy she'd done that, was gonna give it at least 48 hours but it's working. Seems to have dried out perfectly. Nothing under the screen, everything work fine.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
I think it was the pouch that saved it, probably soaked up the water before it got to the device.

Thanks for sharing this. I use mine every morning in there too but it's not happened to me yet. I will be extra careful from now on maybe take the pouch with me

It was actually the process of puting my HD back in the pouch that made me drop it but thank god it made it back in just in time. I know what you mean though, every morning while dropping a bomb i'm checking my mail and seeing what the M1 is like before deciding on my route to work!

no kidding...you are luckier than sh#t!

If it plays up, wash it in distilled water and then dry it for 48 hours.

Take care a close friend of mine dropped the EEPC in the toilet. He was smoking, some ash fall down on the legs, he opened them to avoid burn and the little toy from asus made a dive. All this happened before flushing the toilet, so before he got it to the service center he had also to clean it and parfume it.

A way to avoid this happening would be not to play with "toys" in the bathroom!!

From the last few posts i can say : none of the WM devices stink, even those which have been in toilet!!!!!!!
and gues im not looking for a new pouch -- keeping the original one!!!!

Boy oh boy that is damn funny, my old man did it many yrs ago when the first StarTac came out.
He came around the hallway swearing, googley eyed looking left and right and stated, "that was the most expensive s..t I ever had!"
He had stood up and flushed and at the exact same time the phone had popped off his belt and disappeared.
Incidentally he did get it back, it stuck to tree roots further down the drain, mind you it never worked again. heh heh.

'Splodge' on screen

Splodge, was the only way I could describe it...take a look at the attached photo.
I'm certain I have seen someone else post this before.
It just happened randomly! Was fine all day yesterday, then picked my phone up to answer it last night, and after the phone call had ended I saw this on the screen...
Touch screen still works, and you can still see underneath it, its less visible when the back light is on. Of course when it's off, you can see the effect it has!
So...what is it? Easily fixed or what?
Like I said, I'm sure I have seen this posted by someone else before...

Hehe... nice one. It will most likely disappear if you gently pull the glass with a suction cup.
Brgds... /Tubgirl

Suction cup thing works but then it comes back.
HTC said it would be out of warrenty :S and they would have to look at it first.
O2 however, said if its in warrenty (which it is) then they will get it repaired and supply a courtesy handset while they have it.

i had one the same size it has slowly gone to half the size 5 pence piece but o2 said its not under warrenty and i work for a major phone retailer and my repairs guy said it may so im very unsure wuld have re flash it as its hspl grrr

interesting, well I'm taking it to the O2 store next week, so will see what they say, will keep the email i had off them saying they will as backup!
It has reduced in size, but still has the rainbow pattern in the middle.

I had a similar screen problem however it didnt look anywhere near as bad as yours. Mine had slight discolouration mostly noticable on white backgrounds. Pressing the screen a little bit harder than normal created the sort of effect you get when pressing the screen of a calculator (dont know what to call it) I took mine to the o2 shop with a different fault and also mentioned this fault. I got it back 6 days later but they hadnt fixed the screen problem. I sent it off again then and there and 6 days later i got a new phone.

O2 now have my HD2
Been given a nasty old Nokia phone as a temp...forgot how small some screens are...lol
should take 7-10 days they said...so fingers crossed...

Any way of fixing this problem without sending it back as this has happened to my cousins HTC HD2, kind of glad it didn't happen to mine lol, any quick fixes to know about?

I've had the same with my HD2.
They fixed it for me (new screen)

Well anyway! For me it was very random. The phone was fine all day at work, I had a phone call in the evening, after the phone call I just looked at my phone, and there it was...
Some people have said its caused my the heat of the battery and signal, dunno.
Its a very thin space between the battery and the back of the screen, so maybe thats true.
I can't see how over pressure can cause it as its a glass screen, and glass doesn't bend like plastic.

I had a smaller of these newton rings at the center. Much smaller than yours.
Suddenly one day it disappeared.
It was during summer and I thought it was probably because of the heat.

Hasn't arrived at the store yet, waiting for a phone call, fingers crossed for today! that would be exactly a week.

Hope its fixed soon for you, its interesting about the battery and heat, my hd2 gets warm below the battery and that is also below the main area your problem is on, I suspect its down to a screen fault myself.

xperia x10 freezes, hangs upon pressure or bending, also USB connection problem

Hello all,
My X10 has a few strange problems regarding freezes and reboots, and also problems with USB connections.
When my I applie pressure to my phone, it reboots. This also happens when I slightly bend my phone. It's a strange problem and I think (almost know for sure) it's hardware related because it happens in two custom roms (freexperia beta 4 by Zdzihu, and Achotjan_Froyo_2.2.1) and also in xrecovery.
The other problem I have has to do with my USB connection.
When i connect my phone to my pc. there is no notification and it doesn't connect to my PC. in contrast to other x10's that have USB connection problems (I've searched other threads) charging is still completely normal.
That's why I think the USB connection is software related
I was wondering if somebody has something usefull to say about either one of the issues, thats why I'm posting.
So if anyone has any idea feel free to post

...Life sucks?.... new phone maybe?

Don't bend it?

It sounds like a bad or lose connection some where on the motherboard. Has your phone had any hard impacts?

I'm not really bending my phone but "trying to bend it"or pressure lets it reboot. this would indeed be not really much of a problem, just don't bend or apply pressure. The problem however is that when I put it in my pocket, the same kind of forces (bending, pressure) will work on it and it'll reboot. this is pretty annoying because each time you'll get your phone out of your pocket it's rebooted or it still hangs.

Well yes it has, a car drove over it once but that's was more then a year ago, and it's fallen quite hard sometimes. I've opened it up however, and nothing is visible wrong (loose connections etc.)

Seriously???
A car drove over it and it has fallen quite hard sometimes?!
That makes the title of your thread misleading.
You should have mentioned these in the OP.
It's a miracle the phone works!!!
Of course something might be messed up inside
and probably not in a visible to the naked eye way.
If you want to hold on to the phone, maybe buy a hard case,
that will keep the pressure to minimum while in your pocket!

Probably a loose capacitor or resistor...

I'll agree with My_Immortal on that one. A hard case might help you in you situtation. But mate let me say this. From the injuries that your x10 has been through it's a miracle it still works!
Imho you should take better care of your stuff , it's a smartphone for God's shake not a buldozer!

Seriously???
A car drove over it and it has fallen quite hard sometimes?!
That makes the title of your thread misleading.
You should have mentioned these in the OP.
It's a miracle the phone works!!!
Of course something might be messed up inside
and probably not in a visible to the naked eye way.
If you want to hold on to the phone, maybe buy a hard case,
that will keep the pressure to minimum while in your pocket!

Well yes indeed I could've said this.
But why I haven't is because it happened more than a year before these problems started. the bending, pressure problem started quite suddenly out of nowhere, and thus might not be related
(I also think the car didn't do that much damage, my phone lay flat on the road, and the car drove pretty fast (around 50 kph) so the car was actually on the phone for a very short time: less than 9 micro seconds .)
I've started this thread mainly because I thought maybe someone had heard about these kind of problems before and knew something about it.

I understand that the car incident was a year ago,
but in my opinion, it's very hard NOT to relate it with your issues.
Of course, there is always the possibility that it has nothing to do with them,
Have you tried using a hard case?

should open it and test across the components to see where the drop in voltage occurs, probably a simple resoldering would do the trick!!

Yeah.. it may just be a simple loose component.
Only solder if.
1. You know what your doing.
2. You have steady hands.
3. you have the right soldering iron "i use a 25W to 80W fine tip"
