Hey guys, I'm making this thread basicly just to vent I sent my DHD in for repairs in late march because the volume rocker had come loose and it would be fixed under warranty, no biggie the phone did take a couple of weeks to get fixed but I knew that when I sent it in, now when I got it back I immediately tried to start it at my dealer but the phone wouldn't start I thought Oh well prob didn't have allot of battery when I put it in. So I came home but in the charger and turned it on, to my surprise they had tried to update my fw it failed and I was left with a phone that only had access to HBOOT, since it was fully functional when I put it in for the repairs (Stock rom S-ON) I took it right back and they tried to flash it at the dealer to no avail, I once again had to be without my phone for a few weeks, now this thursday I finally got word that my phone was ready to pick up *YAY* (they changed the mainboard) I was quite happy since I had been given an old desire bravo as a loaner while mine was being repaired thinking oh happy happy joyjoy these last two days having my phone back.
Now this evening when I went to look at the clock on my phone I saw right away some strange artifacts on the screen like green is bleeding through? I tried to restart right away and when the phone shows the htc logo the first time around it's clear no artifacts perfect white and green, and then as soon as it enters the OS the ****ups start to appear, what could be causing this?
I'm sorry for this wall of text but my patience for htc is wearing quite thin now and I'm not thinking I will ever buy another handset from them again

I have no idea why imageshack has the seccond picture upside down but you get the picture
Sounds like they botched the repair job.
theres either a break or a short in the displays ribbon cable
dude, if you've sent your phone twice, you should tell them to give your money back and you have right to do so. Once you do that, get yourself a dual or a quad core

Hello,
I've had my hd2 for about 6 months now and about a month ago it started randomly crashing. I'd have to take the battery out and reset, but when i'd start about 1 out of ever 4 times it would show the inital launch screen, but the numbers in the bottom left would never come. So i'd have to remove the battery again and reboot.
Then it started happening more frequently. Random restarts, crashes, and the phone didnt like to boot at all most of the time.
Last night, it gets really bad and i am able to get into the phone once. After that it freezes always when you initially power on, you see the boot splash, but no numbers in the bottom left, no moving forward.
AND NOW when i power on, the screen stays black, and it just vibrates and will not stop at all unless i remove battery. In fact, as soon as i pop the battery in, it starts doing this.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try doing a HARD RESET.
If that does not help it means you have a damaged HD2 motherboard, try contacting T-Mobile or HTC for a replacement.
I'm 100% sure it is a heat problem. I do have the same problem. With my HD2 disassembled I checked that "freezing" the motherboard make my phone boot without a problem... and it worked properly as long as it stayed cool.
I'm trying to replace the motherboard by myself as I do not live within the USA...
Hope it helps.
Same exact problem here, although it happens less often for me. How do we keep the motherboard "cool" so it won't happen? or is this a sign of motherboard going bad soon and it'll be replaced sooner or later??
I think it is a sign of a dying phone... or at least a dying motherboard.
Maybe (just a theory) these are signs of a "cold joint" similar to what happens to the Xbox 360... and the way to fix it is to "reflow" the motherboard... but we need a more technical point of view on this one...
Thanks for the replies. I have tried the hard reset, but it just vibrates with the screen off still, no success in any attempts to do anything. I guess i will have to contact htc since i did not purchase the phone from tmobile.
I did notice before this happened that the phone was getting hot after even a few minutes of use. So i have to assume it is a damaged motherboard or whatever it is inside of my precious hd2 that makes it bring me joy.
Now i am joyless and sad.
Back to the old 2g iphone
*cries*

If i press inside the red area (including home button) it wont work and its just like i pressed the near side, like icons in the left or right of that red area.
I tried full data wipe, cache and dalvik, tried flashing newer sbf and no good.
Do you guys have any idea on it?
Thanks
Bad news bro.
I'm pretty sure its a hardware problem, the screen must be damaged...
So i need to replace it?

Better to get a new phone =D
a new phone is your option coz replacing the screen would cost you alot while you can get a better phone in a few bucks more!
New screens are available on amazon for 12 pounds (at least I spend this much)
However It may be a signal cable. They starts from 30$ on ebay
There are disassembly videos on Youtube.
I had a similar problem and I did the replacement two months ago and it works.
I bought the screen digitizer with tools on eBay.
Be sure That you have a torx3 beca use it didn't came on the tools! ;P
I had the same problem... I sent to the Moto Assistance and the had to change the touchscreen for a now one.
Good luck!
Not the cable. If the cable was damaged, it would shut down the entire screen. It's a problem with the digitizer. Hopefully for you it's relatively easy to exchange it, but you'll damage the camera sticker, the top panel of back side, above the battery and the speaker grid sticker (all of those are glued to the phone) in order to open it. Doesn't matter the way you take them over, you'll always damage it. Might wanna buy some of these on ebay too, although I'm not sure they sell it.
I had the exact same problem with my first M2, it was still under warranty but Moto took sweet 15 days to exchange it, and they returned my phone with a stuck volume rocker. Had to send it again, they took more than 15 days this time, so I asked for a replacement.

Hello people.
I need help to decide if I should try to save my nexus 4 or not. It has been dismantled for the past half a year and i recently got it to show signs of life after battling the steady red ring of death. (Was simple by the way, just used a wireless charger for a couple of minutes) But if I turn it on, it vibrates, the screen lights up and that is just about it. So i have no idea if the phone itself is functional. Some of you might tell me not to bother with such an old phone, hell, they aren't even sold anymore. But this phone has stuck by me through thick and thin, and has a sentimental value. I nearly jumped of joy when it showed signs of life after such a long time. I am not a rich man, so i need to manage my finances. Screen replacement would cost me 25 pounds, back housing would be another 10, but what if the phone is still not functional? Is there any way I can find out if I should take the gamble?
Some info -
I am not entirely sure if there is an OS currently installed on the device, as I was experimenting quite a bit before the battery run its coure.
I am also missing one of the connector things that are circled (there is one and a broken spot where another one should be) but i have no idea what it connects to. The little peg itself is safe and sound in my possession, if it can be welded back. It connects to whatever is under the power button on the back housing.

The screen is cracked in three places, but was working the last time I remember. But there have been many (and I mean many) dis and re assemblies since then.
I probably love this phone more than my friends and family. Just want my favourite piece of tech to be my companion again.
Could the red light be due to a dead battery?

Thankls for the reply. The battery is new and the red light issue is sorted. The phone just doesnt do much more other than vibrate and light up the screen. How do i know if it is still worth investing money in is the real question.
Hi all!
I'm writing here with deep hope that someone can help me somehow...
I got my 6p popped in the sea a month ago just as far s the camera glass goes. I've turned it off immediately, but because I was in a small place, didn't manage to find some phone shop or any way to open it and dismantle the battery. I did try to turned it on (stupid me) later on that day and after that left if for 2 days to dry.
My hopes rose when it did give some kind of a "life signal" when on charger but that's as far as I got...
So, when I put it on charger I get the Battery animation icon with 50% showing on the bottom, after few secs it shows 0%. Also, while on charger it just bootloops... can't get pass the Android boot animation, it just restarts. However, I can get to recovery (TWRP) and browse through it (make backups etc) while on charger it doesn't restart. The thing is that it only works with wall charger, I can't get to recovery when connected to computer via USB (so I can't even get that backup or transfer files from the phone ).
I've went to two phone repair shops in my town, but both said that it's dead. The thing is I'm not sure that they even tried with new battery, because this is a rare phone in my country and they probably don't even have one to try...
Anyway, I've ordered new battery, but I'm afraid if that'll help... I would like, at least to connect it somehow to my computer and try to transfer files and maybe do some factory resting or loading an image...
I have some pics from one of the repair shops, so I hope someone could help me determine if there is any help with it?
Thanks in advance!!!
Cheers,
Djape

In reality, you aren't going to get a reply because nobody has a clue what you've done. Post a video up of the failure and perhaps you might get a response, but in reality, you've done something right weird here, haven't you? I mean, who cleans their head unit.... just wipe the screen and be done with it.
Did you plug the old ribbon connector in while the unit was switched on? If so, my best guess is you've shorted something which is why your ribbon cable melted. Potentially what you've goosed as a result.... is a mystery.
Could be the entire screen, could be the entire unit, could be neither...
Might be time for a new one.
Might be time to find a local electronic repairer.
