Hello, I wanted to ask if there is any way to test the functionality of the phone? Specifically I am referring to the rear speakers. My phone fell down and broke my screen and I want to find out the phone functionality. Before I dropped the phone so I have had the sound turned off. So if by chance there should be some way to set the phone via PC high volume to be sure that everything is fine and I have to buy a new display. the phone system WP7.5 and I do not want to go anywhere to flash me because then I would not have to boot the phone at all.
Sorry for my bad english.

Hey everyone, I will try to explain this as best as possible. I have the Cingular 8525. My touch screen thinks something is touching it. For example, I turned on screen taps in the sound settings, and I can hear it randomly tapping whenever I'm not touching it. Normally I would think its malfunctioning but when I take out the battery and let it sit for about 10 minutes and turn it back on, the screen will work for a little bit then I will hear the clicking sound. I have flashed it back to the stock ATT rom and it still does it. Any hope that this is a software issue?
Sorry man it is not software issue. Better fix it in to do it yourself thread, search for yourself. Or send it for repairing
Ok, thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping, oh well.
The vibrate function on my HD2 has not been working from day dot so I decided to open it up and check the vibrator. I pushed the vibrator in tight and closed it all up again.
When I turned on the phone, the screen was displaying what looked like 256 colours. The screen is still responsive and everything else seems to work (except of course for the vibrator).
Question is: Have I broken the screen or is there a connection problem which would cause this?
Any ideas please?
Im not really sure. Was there anything you did that made it stop working?
ok - for anyone in the same situation. I have managed to put a 3mm split in the flexi cable between screen and motherboard.
Off to ebay to get a new one now.
I have a really annoying bug in my WP7 HD2. When i make a call, the screen goes black and i cannot access anything. The call connects fine but the whole phone locks up. I can't access the dial pad for using automated services, nor can i hang up. Hardware buttons do not work either, but light up briefly if i push one. I think its something to do with the light sensor, sometimes if i cover it and uncover, the screen quickly comes on then goes off again. Any ideas? I am using the latest radio from the stock HTC WM 6.5 ROM, and the newer (51t?) radio for WP7. I have tried older versions of both, and a few different WP7 roms all with the same problems.
WP7 Mango (xboxmod/yuki)
UK HTC HD2
This problem also happens on android.
Uhh, sounds awful 'cause you experience also on different Android...
Do you experience this also on a Stock WM 6.5 Rom (of course with the original radio and without hpsl)? If not, you can be relaxed cause it's no hardware fault then. If it's also present on WM 6.5, then it's very likely to be an hardware error.
a little update on my problem. it appears that if i tilt the phone at a 30 degree angle downwards, while in a call, the light sensor functions normally. so at least navigating those phone menues can be done! i think this is a hardware problem, my HD2 did suffer a pretty nasty fall (which resulted in a new screen!) so maybe there was some other damage beside the screen.

there are two sensors together to the left of the earphone at the top of the screen, one is a light sensor, the other a proximity sensor. It seems to be the proximity sensor that is at fault. When you put your ear to phone it switches screen off so you dont push buttons.
I have read that the prox sensor can become misaligned when replacing screen. Did it occur after this? warranty?
as soon as i make a call the screen switches off. also the auto brightness doesnt seem to be very responsive. the issue had happened before but it was more of a driver issue than a hardware fault. i noticed it more after the repair, but it was not instant. maybe one of the sensors was lose and after a few months of use it is now misaligned? the phone is out of warrenty, and the 3 month warrenty on the repair is also up, and i have no insurance anymore i am holding out for a new phone. just started a new job so hopefully i can get something outright without being tied to a contract
Same problem
I'm having the same problem I think I noticed it when it was running windows 6.5 but I really noticed it after 7 upgrade. as soon as I make a call I cant access anything. THe bad thing about it is this phone is a replacement. I just got it. Maybe they sent me a badly refurbished one. Has anyone found a solution to this. If i'm smart I know this is not as simple as changing a setting sound like re flash, erasing, re installing, etc.
did you try tilting the phone downwards towards you? when i do this the menu appears and i can access everything. normally i put it on speaker then the screen stays lit then i cna use it as normal

So my wifes screen on her Samsung Note 3 is completely smashed, and I believe the digitizer is too as the screen does not respond either. the phone turns on as the buttons has lights and I also get a heptic feedback when I hold down the power button on the phone to turn it on.
I need the the photos, photos were not backed up, not on the SD, and USB Debuggin I believe was off. I tried to connect the phone to 3 different PCs and with different cables, but the pcs do not allow me to see the phones camera folder.
replacing the screen would cost more than the phone cost, and the phone is anyway only being used as a second phone so don't want to shed out that much money.
QUESTION:
I have another Samsung Note 3, so my question was, can I take the screen and digitizer from that one and put it on the broken one and then get the photos and then swap the screen and digitizer back?
Also at work we have a Cellebrite device, but when I tried to extract all the data out of the phone with that, the device asked me to press on "allow this computer" on the phone, but as the screen is broken I can't do this :/
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some light! thanks guys

Yes I believe it is possible to do such a thing as long as you are prepared to spend enough time on this. Look on YouTube and ifixit and the internet for screen replacement videos and guides and instead of replacing with new screen use the guide to put that other good note 3 screen on your broken one, then use the same guide again to disassemble it and then do as you please by either leaving the broken screen phone or putting the broken screen back into the phone. So yes it is possible but be careful and look at guides carefully.

There is an app to control you phone from pc. Never tried though

So I broke the screen. replaced it and it worked fine. However i noticed the adhesive wasnt holding it tight enough. so after a few days I pulled the glass up as munch as I could and used some superglue on the top and then clamped down to hold in place. Now no more light is coming through but.. When I make a call as soon as a i press dial the screen turns back regardless of my distance to prox sensor. I'm assuming I got glue on it or broke it.
Eventually I will replace LCD but in the meantime is there any way to simply have the screen stay on during callsly ap?
I tried a few apps which did nothing. I looked for settings but nothing jumped out at me. I swear I have done this before on either an iphone or a much older android device.
Any suggestions would be great appreciated. Right now by using switches under accessibility im able to hang up at last but I cant turn on speaker and not sure how to set that up. So if there isnt a way to keep the display on any suggestions on how to set up so I can hang up and turn on speaker phone in the most effiecient way?
Its gotta be built in the system to keep the display on during calls but maybe not.
Again thanks!

There used to be an Xposed module to disable the proximity sensor on some SoC... But it is VERY SoC dependent from what I understand... And it may not be supported anymore...
Your other alternative would be to disable the proximity sensor in the kernel... I know it CAN be done... But I have no idea how
