Niki touch screen not working when slider is open

Anyone here experiencing the same problem? At first I thought that was normal, but at some point the touch screen worked while the slider was open and I was really happy with it but now, it no longer works what gives?

am i the only one experiencing this? do you think a ROM upgrade can fix this?

Sometimes (very rarely) the screen doesnt come on and I have to reset, but nothing like you descrived, sorry...

aw! i guess i have an isolated case. thanks twolf!

it's a screen cable problem. just fix it

last week, i had the same proplem. So i sent it to the guarantee service. They replaced the cable, which is connecting the screen with mainboard.

too bad my phone doesn't come with warranty. thanks for the info guys

my phone has the same problem,and I had used many roms, and all of them have the same problem.

my screen isen't working when the keybord is closed,
aneybody have the same problem??

problem
yes i do have the same problem ... my htc niki100 was not working when slide closed ... but when i open it works fine .... sometimes when slide open also it is not working i mean the touch screen ... i removed all parts of my htc niki and i take a look at that but all was fine and i dont know what was the probelm... i think htc failure model is niki... really pissd off guys due to this niki ... if any came to know how to make work that ... just post it and for u i am thankuful..

it is hardware problem. sent my device to service center and they changed the board for free since it is still under warranty. they said it was wear and tear. so it is only matter of time before the new board suffers from wearing out again. unless stop using the sliding keyboard, but tat's the main selling point touch dual is built for =\

how much is the cable $$ connecting the lcd to the boarD?
my niki is out of warranty............can any mobile phone repair shop fix it ?

If you google around you'll see this is quite a common complaint with the Touch Dual. There seems to be a certain flaw with the screen and cable which was never addressed. I had the exact same problem & eventually sent the phone back to HTC to be fixed.
Be warned though - HTC would not fix my phone eventhough it was still under warranty. They said the problem was due to User Mis-Use. My ass it was. I argued it out with them but in the end I just paid the UK£60 to get it fixed - robbing bastards!

You all seem to think it's a hardware issue, and I'm experiencing the same issue, but only under Windows Mobile (I've tried both 6.1 and 6.5 - all sorts of various roms). Android on the other hand, works fine. :/
EDIT:
Well now it's working on Windows too. After I ran Android... SO GIVE THAT A SHOT I GUESS. o.o

Hi
I've got the same problem it's starting to piss me off.. :[email protected]
1) screen doesn't work when slider is opened
2) screen doesn't work at all at times but works again after ....??? xx hours or so.
My warranty has ended, any tips?
Upgraded Windows Mobile to official WM6.1 from HTC.com website.

i came in here to say the same thing.. weird. works fine in android.............

another thing worth noting is that if you keep a finger on the screen while sliding it seems to work everytime

My Niki has the same problem, when slide is open i cannot use the "send" button on the touch screen - so i have to close the slide, to send a SMS.
I bought a HTC Snap now, so my NIKI just lies in the drawer...
Sad, i like the Screen resolution and Rom software on the Niki better than the HTC Snap.
At http://www.ppctechs.com/HTC-Nike_1047/repairs.htm you can buy a HTC Nike ToolKit with special screwdrivers, maybe the cable just needs to be aligned properly, or fixed in a socket...
Has anyone tried to fix it themselves?

guys,
I had the same problem. In fact, my touch screen was totally not working at all. Some threat recon it's loosen cable so i opened my touch dual and tighten the lcd flex cable. It worked after that, but not working when slide is open. I've just changed the flex cable myself and it's working fine now. hope this help.

Please help, white screen issue!!

Hi all,
I'm real frustrated at the moment with my i-mate jasjam branded hermes 100.
It started a couple of days ago when my screen would get all glitchy. I ignored it. Then i got it whenever i put pressure on certain parts of the casing and now from that it manifested and it does it whenever i hold it in a certain position etc... It's really starting to tick me off... 1300 dollars for this? has anybody experienced this issue? ive heard it's a hardware problem... im running shamanx windows mobile 6 ultimate rom...
I need my phone to keep in contact with some real important people.. any ideas?

He may have been lucky. Here we re-use threads and there have been quite a few on the white screen problem.
Here's one of the main ones - I suggest you look at the suggestions about placing a pad on the D-Pad chip:

Ohk
ohk sorry but the buttons do work perfectly fine it's only the screen... also the usb port is loose so whenever i need to charge i need to push it in a particular way so i just place it on its face upside down to charge and i use an ftp program to get files off of it insstead of usb >-< it was a really nice phone till it started doing this and cbf sending for repairs il just buy a new phone when i get the money and yeah if i decide i might try something that requires opening it up but i just cbf

Well, the reason to pad the D-pad chip is because the d-pad circuit board is the one that the screen connector connects to and the chip is the one that processes the screen signals. So although your buttons work fine, it is still that board that causes the screen whitening.
The usb port sounds like the anchoring solder joints may be cracked. These can normally be resoldered.

Hi Gr33kJag,
Try to perform the solution provided by mikechannon only if u can assemble and de assebmle ur pda very accurately, because the pros and cons of that method are describle in that page.
This solution worked for me at least and i am very much thankful to mike for giving me solution to that problem.

[Q] G-Sensor not working in ANY Android ROM after screen replacement

It appears that there is a general issue with the G-Sensor after a screen replacement has been done. There are tons of users in the Android Q&A forum with the issue. The sensor works fine in winmo but not in ANY android rom after the screen has been replaced. I'm guessing its a hardware driver issue?
Please could someone tell us what info/data we can give to the ROM chefs and kernel gods so that they can take a look and fix this.

I have this same problem with one of my HD2's that had the screen replaced.. Everything works perfectly except the "G-Sensor"...
I posted the problem in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902129 a while ago, and been watching ever since... Havent seen any solutions, but more reports of the same problem been added to it daily... I'm also assuming that they changed the G-Sensor hardware along with the screen... Beacause it works perfectly in WinMo, and it dont in none of the Android Builds I've tried (CMYLXGOs all versions, Imilka's all versions, RAFDROID, CyanogenMod, etc)...
Everything works good on my Primary HD2, no problems at all... I'm hoping some Chef/Kernel developer might just take some time to check this out...

Have you guys went into Settings>Display>and ticked the check box for Auto-rotate screen?

That option is checked by default.. Even if You uncheck and check it, it still dont work... If You go into G-Sensor Calibration, the bubbles dont move at all... All those solution was posted in the thread, in the link above...
I'm really assuming is some hardware/driver problem... It worked fine with android, but after they replace the screen, it stopped working...

Sorry I did not click on the link and rad the other thread. If you go to calibriate your G-Sensor and it does not move then it sounds like either your internal G-Sensor hardware is faulty or not properly connected. I would make the tech you had work on your HD2 work on it again or take it to another repair shop.

It's a good point You have there... But I would be assuming that was the problem if the G-Sensor wasnt working in Windows Mobile... Everything works perfectly in WinMo, including the calibration... Thats another reason we have come to believe its a hardware upgrade or something similar...

I have the same problem. I bought an HD2 from someone in the Marketplace, and I can see from the pry marks on the bezel and the broken adhesive that the screen had been replaced at one point. I also believe there must have been some hardware revision that is still compatible with WinMo, as the same driver works unilaterally, but not with Android. Definitely tried most of the recent ROMs and different combinations of kernels, and cLK/MAGLDR, but it never works.
Charnsingh alludes to the G-Sensor code in the kernel in his [DEV] thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049170 (don't post unless you're a dev though), and says that it's pretty minimalistic. So maybe there's a solution out there, but the developers haven't gotten to the bottom of it. I'm watching that thread intently to see if there's anything cooking or if there's something I can help with.

I think there are quite a few users who are suffering from this.
If the devs need anything they have plenty of people to ask for debug info, etc.
I just wish someone had the time to have a look at this

have got the same issue, new screen, sensors stopped working, all the sensors that is, light, proximity, g-sensor, compass. and everything works in winmo (except the compass, don't know why) the interesting thing is, the proximity sensor does work, it just doesn't turn off the screen, but it does turn off the touch screen, and the g-sensor actually seems to work, i can calibrate, and the relevant files are updated (in /data/misc the bma150_usr and the akmd files are created and/or updated) and if i move during calibration, it is aborted. it seems as if there is something broken in software because the chip data is still being read and used somehow, just not piped to the right places...

Every sensor work fine here with except the g sensor
I guess its a kernel issue and not hardware relates

it work perfectly on wm6.5,but not work on any andriod rom.
i have the same issue

so no one is helping us???

i have the same issue too...

Same here works fine in windows but android will not work.
Also have screen replacement

SOLVED
my issue is solved now after motherboard replacement.
a few notes:
- as i eventually discovered, there was in fact a problem with the compass (aka the magnetic field sensor) which didn't work in any os. with this issue i had a good reason to send the phone back to the repair shop and they replaced the motherboard under warranty.
- i don't know what solved the issue, it's either [A] the working compass (which is somehow needed for auto-rotation to work - in android) or the new motherboard (which does not have compatibility issues with the new screen - in android).
so, please check wheather your compass is working or not.
if not, reflash to stock and send it back for a warranty repair.

I replaced the digitizer in my phone myself and the G-sensor works for me in Android.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS of threads and posts since 6 months and still nothing. About those sensors problems / screen replacements and still nothing... It's so sad, the HD2 is dying slowly. Lolz, let's keep the faith!!

+1 same problem...
Any solution???
Thx.

Same.
perfect on Windows.
not working, gyroscope, compass, screen rotation on any android.
no problem with proximity and light sensors.
I had tried screen rotations witout main flex (that holdss, vibration, camera, volume, wifi, buzzer)
And the sad point is I had replaced LCD-Digitizer together these are taken from a dead hd2. So my replaced LCD is 100% orijinal. I did not seperate chasis-button flex also.

[Q] Any solutions to the replacement hardware problem?

Recently, I had my EU HD2 repaired (while on android) due to a malfunctioning digitizer, however, after it was replaced the promixity sensor would not work, and when they fixed the promixity sensor, the backlight stopped working.
Eventually, they gave me a replacement TMOUS HD2 (It looks like an old, refurbished or used one, although it has the new desensitized-but-messed-up-at-the-bottom digitizer). Although everything works perfectly in WinMo 6.5, the gps, accelerometer/g-sensor, magnetometer, and orientation sensor was not working at all in any NAND android (showed 0/10 no change in sensor test). Apps had detected it as non-existent, or force closed because some sensors were necessary.
After looking on similar threads on xda, where people have come to the conclusion that it's because the replacement parts don't have the right drivers in android, this is probably the problem with both of the HD2s. I'd think this would be a significant problem for many (albeit a small fraction of people) They also say that it would not work for any SD build either.
Has any devs bump into this problem as they got their HD2 replaced or repaired? This issue may get more prevalent as all our HD2s get older.
Atm, I am going to try to install Mango on it, as i heard that WP7 works too.
Could that mean that parts are from, like an HD7 or something? Or because TMOUS and EU parts were mixed together?
Also I'm wondering if I should return it and say the sensors are not working? lol that may be the only way to try get it working for me.

G-sensor problem on newer HD2s

Hello.
This topic has already been talked about few months ago. No one paid attention on it, except the people who were facing this problem. So I'm writing about it once again - maybe someone will finally hear our calling for help.
What I'm talking about is the problem with G-sensor under Android. It works fine on Windows Phone, it works great on Windows Mobile, but it doesn't respond on Android. The problem usually occurs after digitizer replacement in HD2s. I'm facing it after changing the motherboard. I believe there must be some drivers missing for the accelerometer. So, can anyone try to fix it? I can provide help. Please.
