touchscreen stopped

hey all dumb question and yes I know there are tons of threads on this
but i want to find out just how common this is and also is there any correlation between touchscreens stopping and using android?
The reason I ask is because this will be the second HD2 I have sent back to tmobile
Thanks,
Yonu

ok here is a odd on i just placed the battery back in the HD2 and the touchscreen works should i still send it back in or not worry about it

Are you putting any stress to the front of the screen - like putting it in your pocket or have a case that may be too tight?
People here have been using Android for many months and we would have seen more posting of failed screens. Software should have no bearing on the touchscreen AT ALL. Heat may be another issue - possibly your phone or battery is getting super hot and may be causing a poorly soldered bridge to open up. This would be one theory and that would only mean you have a poorly constructed phone. I've been using Android daily for the past couple of months and my phone does have a tendency (based on battery widget) to run on the warm side around 40C during peak periods - phone on, etc. with GPS running but I don't think thats out of the norm because I think when running WINMO it ran at that temp during load.
If you are still under warranty or have insurance - send it back but first check your temps or maybe it could be a bad battery - bad power sometimes does strange things.

The interesting thing is that all the people with this problem seem to be T-mobile HD2 users, I would like to know if any Euro HD2 has this problem.

I had the problem on an EU HD2. Started a few weeks after installing android.
reflashed back to stock rom and returned it for repair and had no problems with that (until I broke the damned LCD screen
Been running it on android for 2 months now (Nand version - no WM at all) and had zero problems

Bricked HD2 TMOUS

Hi, this is my sad history, a friend of mine give me a bricked tmous, he didn't told me how he bricked it. The TMOUS didn't start it was dead, no led when charging, all dead.
So, I put the tmous in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes and it was working again, I try to install custom roms, HLSP, MAGLDR, android although the installation was successful the phone got stuck in the stick together or the htc initial screen. I noticed that after some time the tmous stopped working, so I put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes and it was working again. However, when I tried to flash a stock rom from the SD card I got the radio fail error so, I suppose that the brick was caused by a bad radio flash, so I tried another rom specifically RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship . When I did that I had no radio fail. And installed HLSP, MAGLDR, android and it worked!!! But…. After some use the phone freezes. The phone only work when I put it in the refrigerator for some time, the funny thing is that when I check the radio version in android the version is ok X.XX.50.XX, I have reception and the wifi works right. Other funny thing I found is that Android starts a little bit faster; I know that because I have another TMous with the same android version. I don’t know why the tmous overhead and crash maybe the bad flash overclocked the processor, but is only a guess.
I hope this history can help somebody or give a clue about how to unbrick these devices.
PS. I run Task29 several times in the phone it didn’t affect at all.

what's the logic for leaving it in the fridge for 20min? Wouldn't you get moisture build up inside the hardware??
I wouldn't want any kind of liquid to come near sensitive components in there.

That's why I used a plastic bag.

Does it get hot?
Maybe its overheating(some android roms come with an overclocked kernel) or your cpu is damaged.
Try no frills cpu control to underclock it!

You could just stick your head in the refrigerator when you need to make a call. J/K

LOL maybe I'll try

sounds like a bad battery.
When the battery gets some moisture it can act funny afterward and overheat or cause stability issues.
Try ordering/using a different battery and see how it does.

I think it's overheating of cpu. I don't know exactly, but i suppose it should be some kind of cooler which for some reasons do not fully cover the cpu...

I don't think the battery is causing the problem. I tried with another battery and the result was the same.

Yeah I thought that too. Is possible that a bad flash damaged the processor??? If that is the case, is there a way to fix it?? I don’t know, adding something to avoid the processor overheat or something.

Well let me start by stating the obvious question that I have to ask lol whats with sticking it in the fridge? I never heard anyone do that lol now all the joke aside. Your assumption of overheating due to failed proc could be correct. Why don't you ask your friend what he did and the max scale frequency he used to OC it and for how long?
I mean if you OC you are in danger of frying the SoC due to heat as you might know from middle school when things are hot they expend and when its cool they contract. So this consent extend/contract cycle has impact and can fry or crack the circuit in long run thus limiting the life expectancy. As depending on the OC scale frequency and duration the ProcIE will slowly break down the chip cause vibration on int as byproduct is heat. As you may know that not all chips are created equal as it depends on the defect rate of the wafer.
Best you can do is sell it on craigslist or ebay "AS IS". ATM replacing the SoC and the whole hassle would be more than the actual street price of the device which you can get mint condition.

The idea for the freezer came from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10574177&postcount=179, I don’t know if my friend overclocked the phone, he told me that he tried to change de the rom, at first I supposed that he flashed a bad radio because the Radio Fail error. The purpose of my post is to give hope to other users, I read several post about tmous that didn’t start and where dead, like this one and everyone told them that there was no hope, but I was able to revive it just putting it in the fridge, I know it sound stupid but I thought that if somebody with knowledge in electronics could tell us put this here and it can help with the overhead, I know that nowadays all comes small and packed and when it broke, you have to replace the whole unit, but it was only to help other people who has the same problem, I know that a broken processor means a dead unit, but I was only looking for a shoot of luck, nothing more.

while your phone is working, use setcpu to underclock the phone and see if it's still freeze and crash..

Far as the device goes if it has physical defect there is nothing you can do other than replace it. I mean if it was completely bricked this you wouldn't even be able to access it only way to do it is dump it via jTAG. As it powers on and you are able to access it I am guessing it could be hardware problem which could have started from OC or simply inferior device got though HTC-HQ. As I said if its SoC then replacing it will be more than its worth and not worth salvaging as you can get another one.

day after I did the same, but you know whats a fun part????? hahahah I actually completely froze my HD2 in the refrigerator for 3 hours, hahhaha so funny,...

[Q] unprovoked(seemingly) reboots?

I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing frequent reboots? I am averaging about one a day with really light use(under one hour screen on time). It sometimes freezes at the unlock screen just after the power button is pressed to wake it up after being idle for a while. Other times it will reboot while its just sitting there. My phone is currently on stock ROM and is not rooted.

I did every day and it also got very warm whilst supposedly idle. I got a replacement and have had just 1 reboot in just over a week and it runs cooler too.
I suggest you get it replaced.
Ps. Do you have poor battery life too because it's a lot better with my new phone.

So your replacement "only" rebooted once in a week? Correct me if i'm wrong, but from my understanding, a phone is NEVER supposed to reboot for no reason.

Correct. But I'd consider that acceptable considering it has no other hardware flaws and put it down to buggy software or a rogue app. If it's an isolated reboot then I'm happy, a reboot every day certainly points to a hardware issue and not acceptable.

To me it's unacceptable, as it obviously shouldn't do this and the device seems to be defective if it just does that. Also, there are other hardware flaws, for example that the device gets so hot that it needs to throttle the performance after ~5 mins of work and has to completely shut down after ~10 minutes.

That is not a flaw, the S4 Pro can't disperse heat efficiently in a small device. Not to mention that even throttled, it's probably still the strongest chipset in terms of brute power.

I'm just realistic when it comes to tech. If my only issue is 1 isolated reboot (which it is at the moment) then I'm happy. Don't think I've ever owned anything with a chip that hasn't at least restarted/frozen once.
Sure the phone gets warm under heavy use but I haven't noticed any slowdown in real use so all good. PS My previous did stutter when hot, unlike this one, so I'm certain that was faulty.

That's not correct. There are other phones with exactly the same CPU, and none of them throttle. Only Nexus 4 does.

I don't really give a sh** what you consider normal work. I've never used that term.
When there's a game that needs the full performance of an S4 pro and the N4 can't deliver it, it won't run. The N4 is the only device that cannot run it's max stated clock frequency.

Then don't buy it? Get the GS3 then. (which btw throttles as well)
I'll wait for some custom kernels and updates to come out. This is brand new silicone.

I think I'm mostly in denial at the moment. I really want this phone to be awesome, however I had my first random reboot about 15 minutes after I got it on the 16th of November. Battery life has been quite horrible most of the time due to the "msm_hsic_host wakelock" issue. I have never had a defective phone and I wasn't ready for a "nexus" to be one. Yes I know it can and does happen. I keep telling my self "4.2.2 will fix all the things".

Do you happen to have a widget that is polling your location? I had HD Widgets installed, with my GPS off it kept rebooting my phone... Now it seems a-ok! This issue has been brought to Google's attention and I think they're working on it.
I don't have the msm_hsic wakelock anymore... Solved that with Franco's kernel and it really improved my battery life.
Hopefully this helps!

I don't, I am running minimal installed apps :-/ . I also have the buzz in the ear piece while on and off calls. It's time to RMA I guess.

I bit the bullet and ordered a new one :-/ The rep I got was awesome and the overall experience was good. Unfortunately I was made aware that a replacement could be 2 weeks away. Today my phone was off charger for 4 hours in good reception. Screen on time less than 10 mins, sleep time was just over and hour and I have 48% battery left. blah.

Phone getting hot easily

As the title says, my phone gets hot really easily with simple usage. Today I was just changing my ring tones and notifications sounds and it became warm (not that hot) where it shouldn't have, with such light usage. And then I played a game for about 10 minutes and the device got hot and was untouchable. The game and UI started to lag too.
This is my replacement phone, the first phone did the same. But I think this one is worse.
During normal usage it does get hot (very uncomfortable), but it won't lag.
My phone is always above 40-42C.
Is it due to my climate?
Or should I get another replacement.
Please help me on this, I can't really figure out if it's the phone or me getting defective devices.

I had the same problem when it was summer where I am. The SD810 is terrible when it comes to heating up, and the lag you experienced is due to the chip throttling back from the heat. Is it hot weather where you are?

The weather is indeed hot nowadays. But the problem is, if the phone heats so much on simple usage, then what is the purpose of owning this smartphone..? :| I'm really disappointed considering I changed my previous device cos of overheating (Note 4).
What's confusing me is, some reviews/reports say this phone is cooler than the S6 /Edge. But my friend has one and it doesn't heat this much at all.
My dad's 6S Plus runs insanely cool (compared to my 6P).
Should I go for another repair/replacement? I've already wasted 1 month waiting for a replacement.
Everything else is amazing on this phone (except the DAC of course) .
Edit: the battery is also disappointing(like 4:30 to 5:00 average). I guess it's due to the phone heating up quickly.

Didn't you research this phone and its chipset before buying? The SD810 is well known for this. I think most reports that say the phone runs cool were written just after release, which was just as the North American winter was taking hold. You could try getting a replacement but I'm fairly confident that this is a problem with the chip.

I chose this phone over the Note 5. I heard there's absolutely no heating issues with the Nexus 6P and the 810 is implemented well in this phone.
My MacBook Pro started to heat much more than it did a few months ago too. But I can't confirm it's because of the weather because it might be some new software I installed or anything.
But the thing that bugs me is, even Yureka, a budget phone, which is known as a heater, heats only like my Nexus 6P or maybe sometimes it's even better at handling heat.
My display is very very yellow too.

This phone is literally the hottest phone ever!
Two minutes of web browsing and the upper portion would have already gotten quite warm.
I think it's getting worse lately, maybe because of the aging of the thermal compound.

Agree. I think the aging of the thermal compound is def going to make thermal throttling worse over time. Plus the thermal compound they used is absolute crap. It had a marshmallow like texture. For those able, I'd consider doing the thermal hard mod posted here. Even if instead of the thermal pad you just replace the crap thermal compound with good stuff. The phone is not nearly as difficult to disassemble and some make it out to be.

You've got a Nexus, go ahead and get your root. Custom kernels like EX do pretty well with excess heat management.
EX kicks in an optional hexacore mode just in case your phone gets mad on heat (generally while charging).
Custom kernels are great in that respect.

OnePlus 8 Pro Overheats atleast twice a day

As the title states already hating this phone and I still have like 700 left to pay on it. It Overheats atleast 2 times a day if not more. Can't seem to handle much I only live in the UK. I would hate to be somewhere where it is hot all the time.

Wow that's bad glad I don't face these issues. My device had been running smoothly from day one and no overheating even with 35°C and up.
Do you mind sharing what you're doing with your device when it overheats?

When being used in my car and when playing Pokémon go usually. I know it could be classed as high usage.
But I have never had this problem before. And definitely not while in use in my car being charged using maps and music etc

Better make sure you don't overheat yourself while driving. My device doesn't get a chance to overheat while navigating as it is positioned in front of the air-conditioning keeping it nice and cool.
I've had overheating in the past with my Note 9 but haven't seen it one my OP8Pro yet.
However it might have something to do with the latest firmware as my device does get warmer than before and battery drains much faster.

I have exactly the same issue as described. Only solution I found to 'lower' a bit the occurences of getting this annoying message that the phone is overheating, as well as a severe throttling of the screen and CPU, is to force the phone to use specific CPU frequencies depending on what app is running (scenarios). I do this through Franko Kernel Manager, but maybe some other apps could offer the same functions. I do love that phone but this overheating issue is seriously getting on my nerves too...

What OS you running mate? Where's it from ? What model?
It's more than likely that a particular region / model / firmware will be having more issues than others.
On a personal note my device has remained cool even after playing Dreamcast games via a Bluetooth controller for over an hour. Just doesn't overheat, the 865 has great efficiency which was one of its plus points over the 855. Probably the CPU / GPU has an imperfect contact with your heatsink.
If that's the case then it'll progress and will end up a lot worse, so an RMA would be the only option, be sure to get the tech to make some notes.

Normal unrooted stock. OnePlus UK OnePlus 8 Pro.
It seems to run hot to the touch most of the time.

I am having the same issues.

I got the phone two days ago, still not facing these issues.

I've been driving my current car for almost 2 years now. I've used a magnetic phone holder on an AC vent and have turned that vent off ever since. For 2 years I've charged phones will using Google Maps/music streaming with no issues. Phones include Galaxy S10, S20U, Note 10, OP 7, etc. with no issues. This OnePlus 8 Pro overheats very easily and I've resorted to actually turning the AC vent on in order to avoid it.
I'm not sure what happened, but the 8 Pro has had some serious QC issues.

Maybe a factory reset would help with overheating issues, a total wipe. I used fastboot erase userdata while in the bootloader mode. I had a couple of issues and after resetting, they seemed to go away.

The 865 is a great chip, it's extremely efficient unless you get a bad one which could happen with any SOC, even Intel and AMD have some bad eggs. It happens unfortunately.
Same as some chips overclock better than others

Has happened to me numerous times too. Usually when using Android Auto in the car (not when it's warm outside) and also when outside in the sun. This is my 2nd 8pro and it happened on the first too.

Are you charging and using GPS at the same time during use of Android auto?
Thats a sure fire way to bake any phone, even a stand alone GPS unit.

Nope. On its own. I have to blow the aircon on the phone to keep it cool when navigating. Also using the phone this week with my drone I couldn't see the screen because it kept on overheating and decreasing the brightness. Never happened once on my 7pro.

I haven't had that issue in any way, was playing Dreamcast and Wii games for a few hours earlier, didn't even feel warm.
GPS can be a drain on power, depends on a few things though.
But turning off like that? I would suggest that's a fault. Probably an imperfect contact with the heatsink.
Just a thought but are you running QHD and 5G.
I don't use either.. try turning to 4G and FHD, might be why?
If not then I'd see what OnePlus or your supplier can do about a replacement. Really need to get the point over that its not a software issue, probably perform a factory wipe just to be sure prior to sending anything off to them.
Shame that it's happening to be honest.

The phone dims the display when it starts to overheat and a message pops up saying it's overheating. Jerry rig shows two dollops of heat sink paste on the CPU so I suspect OP know then have problems, they've also decreased the max brightness after an update most likely to counteract the overheating. It's happened with my two 8pros so I doubt it's a manufacturing ,most likely the SOC naturally runs warmer or the design doesn't dissapate heat effectivity. Doesn't bother me massively but it does happen.
