Yesterday my touchscreen no longer responded to input. Hard buttons worked. Took it to T-Mobile and will have a replacement within 7 days. Anyone else have their touchscreen die on them?
Is the HD2 black? Yeah, everyone it seems has suffered from this...especially if you run Android alot.
Mine died today. Unfortunately I have bought it second hand and don't have a receipt.
Any hints for fixing it would be nice.
Mine did it too. Got the replacement and it did it on that one too the next day. I just kept flashing random roms and after 2 or 3, it unfroze. Lesson i learned? If in android, your screen freezes, DON'T reset or take out the battery. Wait til the screen turns off and it apparently is safe to reset. (I quickly do a reboot command in android)

If you mean the screen, no. It boots up and everything fine, hard buttons work fine.

Wow, interesting, if true, that Android could affect our touchscreen like this. I'd test out flashing new ROMs but I already reverted back to stock ROM and SPL when I took it to T-Mobile. Think I'll just use the loaner in the mean time and await my shiny new HD2 =D

happened to me again today. I had to flash 7 different roms but eventually it did unfreeze. I picked a new kernel from a thread in android, the one where it prevents screen freezes and it so far has worked. For some reason, for me, it does it when it gets near moisture. Doesn't have to be on the phone, but if its raining out, misty out, foggy out and even humid out, and it constantly freezes up. Nice dry sunny day and i know i am good all day. If its acting up, gps will kill it for sure.
Special Delivery =)
Well I just received my replacement today! =D Talk about a quick delivery, it got here before they even sent me the tracking number lol. Can't say its a "New" device. Telling from the hex screws it looks like it has been torn down. For a refurbished phone it looks new =)
Time to put Android back on =P

Interesting theory.
It started acting up this morning again so i changed the kernel to this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787588
because its supposed to have the touch screen freeze/g sensor issue patch built in. And it has not yet. (And the backlight to my keys work a LOT better vs. the bangsters one.)
Touchscreen death blows
I was so happy with my HTC HD2 leo ever since I put the Energy sense 2.5 rom on it with radio 2_10_50_08_2 until today. Have the same problem with non-responsive touchscreen but hard keys work fine. I didn't even get to put Android on it yet : (
Not sure if I should try random roms or switch back to the original rom; newbie here and need quickest and easiest solution. Input greatly appreciated.
Try going back to the stock 2.13 ROM and see if it helps. It more than likely won't, but it's always worth a try!

Someone stated that multiple flashes fixed his, so maybe going on a flashing spree may do it. Best of luck and if you still have manufactures warranty I'd say use that.

It happened to me and I just got my new one about 15 minutes ago. Sad that Android does this, but it seems the MCCM builds caused mine to go out, since I replicated it three times. Oh well. I'll go through 10 if I have to, as I love my HD2

You have a stock rom for one, try the one darkstone suggests for it and flash your radio to a newer one, it fixed my problem with it, and I use it daily now...

Does the phone boot properly and hard keys still functioning? If it's the same issue I and others had then your best bet is to flash roms untill it works again.

This recently happened to my GF's phone, She said she was just playing a game one day, it froze so she popped the battery out and rebooted. Now every time she uses the End/Power ( red ) hard button to shutoff or wake up the device, the screen stays locked and won't respond.
I have tried soft reset, hard reset, different lock screens and what not. The only solution I found, besides sending it in, is to let the screen shut off by itself, and then wake it up with the Call/Send ( green ) hard button.
You can also try using the End/Power hard button to lock it, but then as long as you wake it with the Call/Send hard button it should be fine.
It has worked every time now. Try it and see if it helps! It's a little annoying but it saves money and insurance!
Going to repost this in all those previous listed threads to see if it helps anyone else.
Good Luck!
Happened to me the other day too. Mine was stock rom and t- mobile replaced it immediately. The new one came to my house within 16 hours and it runs silky smooth like mine never could have. I noticed it has a newer rom version than my original one.
rom 3.14.531.1
radio 2.15.50.11u
I found a work around, I have only tried this in android. Press the power button to turn the screen on, Then when it comes on it will not be responsive.
However if you turn the screen off then back on and try and unlock it it will respond and also i have noticed if the phone wakes it self up it will be responsive again.
If you have been following Cyanogen on Twitter you will see that he is working on merging 2.3.3 into CM7. http://twitter.com/cyanogen/status/42355275310706688 Besides the NFC improvements( Which don't affect us) what do you guys think he is planning on adding?

Lol, ofcourse cyanogen is going to update cm7 to 2.3.3. Hes good at keeping current.
I just dont get why nfc doesnt apply to the slide. I dont think it needs special hardware

I am pretty sure it needs to have a certain Bluetooth frequency, which I know for sure the Nexus S has.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
After doing some reading, nfc is different from straight bluetooth. The frequencies are WAY different. So my guess is that out bluetooth radio wasnt built to operate out of the standard 2.4-2.5Ghz frequency.

Nightly 11 is 2.3.3!!!
one major i thing i heard that 2.3.3 was supposed to fix was the random reboots, i've gotten them before on my slide, and my dad's incredible does it sometimes. no reboots since i updated *crosses fingers*
Sadly I would go with a non sense rom if I could use Flash. Maybe when flash 10.2 and Ice Cream hit... but I'll probably on a different phone by then.

sorry. Our CPU isn't the right ARM for Full Flash support unless Adobe and Google decide to make a version for our CPU type.

Yes CM7RC2 is 2.3.3. Browser works normal for me. But GPS doesn't at all. Having issues with wifi too. It will only work after I reset the phone and even then will only work for about an hour or so before it will crap out completely.
Other then that its solid. No FCs at all. Great battery life and fast.

same with me also. wifi is alittle buggy right now. other then that it is great.
Ive been running cm7 for about 3 days now and have had no issues what so ever, Wifi issues were fixed for me by reflashing the radio, the only thing I wish it had was HTC sense.
I tried using GingerSense5122-Alphav2 and I love it... aside from the bugs including NO wifi yet... but once it is complete It will most likely be my ROM of choice..

GingerSense is really nice...cant wait for a bugless (or almost bugless) release.
whats gingersense?
also, does anyone elses dock tray (where the phone, contacts, and pull app tray out button) just randomly disappear?
it disappears 2-3 times a day and the only way its back it if i turn the phone off.

I noticed if you drag from the bottom of the screen up, it will hide/unhide it.
Might be a noob issue, but every time I've flashed CM7, it won't boot. Just stays there on the Cyanogen boot screen forever. I clear my cache and all that before I install the ROM, but I have yet to get it to load CM7 RC2. I used CM6 just fine but this refuses to load. Any suggestions?

I don't know. To my knowledge I've never flashed a new radio. I did get CM7 to work last night however. I had to do a factory reset in addition to clearing the caches, and that made it boot correctly.
I recently noticed something weird on my Galaxy S. I should point out I am running Darky's Rom (9.5).
Everytime I start (or restart) the phone some weird lines come up for a second or so on the top of the screen while the Galaxy S logo is displayed. I have uploaded a quick video to youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sGbpU6s_38)
I have since reflashed the phone and the lines still persist.
This problem occured after my phone randomly crashed and I had to perform a factory wipe.
Other than the lines during start up, I have had no issues since they came up 2 days ago. No further crashes, the lines don't display anywhere else, nothing.
My question:
Should I be worried and could this possibly be a hardware fault? I am sure its not the screen as the lines only pop up quickly during boot up. I fear if it could be cpu, graphics or ram related.
Any opinion or advice welcome!
Is anyone else experiencing this or has experienced it?
I have the same problem with darkys rom 9.5 :S
I dont think it is bad for your phone...
I have this almost a month and no other problems at all
Sent from my Galaxy S using XDA Premium App
this issue is kernel related, and i bet almost everyone with a custom ROM would of experienced it.
as mentioned above, it is no problem, it wont cause damage. its just one of them annoying niggles what make you think ' **** my phone.... its dying' but its not.
when a newer update for the kernel comes out the issue will most likely go away.
Thanks for the replies! Eases my fears. I guess I just got a fright because it happened (or at least I only noticed it) after the phone randomly crashed
you just assumed that was the culprit.
mine happened 3 weeks after flashing a ROM i just assumed thats what caused it because that was the last thing i did.
turned out to be nothing and now i can sleep again
it is a little 'glitch' with some kernels. don't worry, doesn't harm the phone

Hello, basically I just got this phone and it seems like my vibraton/haptic feedback does not work anymore. At first I thought it was just the ROM ,salvage mod,I was running or the kernel but now I'm on an entirely different Sense based ROM and it is still not working. So now I am afraid it is a hardware problem. Can anyone help me out or is a new phone my only option?

First, let's confirm you have haptic feedback enabled. In a Sense ROM, it should be under Settings -> Sounds -> Vibrate Feedback.
If that's enabled, then you likely have hardware failure and yes, it will need to be replaced. That's why I ended up getting my first EVO replaced, in fact.
interesting. i have noticed from time to time haptic feedback stops responding but as of now its always come back. I am not sure what triggers it to stop and start but as time has gone has become just a minor annoyance.
The vibrator motor could be bad. Does it ever vibrate?

Yea sounds like there's a loose wire somewhere in there somehow. If you can get it to the store in it's non working condition I'm sure they'd replace it. Just remember to unroot first!!
oooo sounds interesting i drop my phone ALL the time so lose wires is probably the right answer for me lol
I've tried 4 or 5 4x sense roms on the MT4G. In all cases, when the screen is off (locked), it will flicker every 15-30 seconds. It doesn't come fully on, just flickers grey for a half a second before going dark again.
Through web search and trial and error, I've traced the problem to WiFi. It happens when WiFi is turned on (it's connected to my router). When I turn WiFi off, the flickering stops. I assume that it tries to wake up when the phone periodically communicates with the router.
This has happened with Glacier One 1.3, Blackout, Viper, Hyperion Yoshi, and Android Revolution. It doesn't happen with the old Generation X (Cyanogenmod variant) that I had on the phone.
Other than turning off WiFi when I'm done using the phone, does anybody know how to get rid of this bug when using a Sense ROM?

As has been said in the half dozen threads I've seen it mentioned in, it is kernel related. The source for elginsk8r's kernel is in his github. If you know any C and want to try your hand, feel free.
Yea. I have my phone connected to my router all day and night I'm home and mine still doesn't flicker.

Neither does mine, now that I'm back on a CM7-based ROM. It didn't flicker when I had the stock un-rooted system that came with the phone.
So the question is: Which GB or ICS Sense ROM (other than a rooted and dejunked version of the stock) and/or kernel doesn't flicker when the screen is off and the phone is connected to WiFi?

Only ics roms will flicker. The reason is the kernel. If you read any ics rom thread, it's mentioned.
Like myself though, not everyone experiences this flicker problem.
