Defective Unit? Pls advise

Hi Guys!
My TyTn is acting strangely. In use, the display is first pixelating, getting lines (noise pixels as well), and then fading to completely white. When so it doesn't responde to anything anymore. So a soft reset is needed.....
Also the ringtone when called, is 'out of tune', like a old record player when you push your finger on the record.. LOL
Before I send it back to have it fixed by HTC, do you guys have any idea whats wrong, and maybe even a tip to help me fix this myself?
Tried numerous soft resets, hard reset, and a reinstall of the original WM6 rom (in Dutch).
Did not install any new programs lately, or did change anything on the unit...
Don't want to miss my TyTn... so hate to send it away... as many of you I am hooked badly to my beloved digital companion

It acts like hardware incompatible.
How about flashing with WM6 English version.
I don't think it is software problem.

I agree, not likely to be software. It did not get dropped or take a knock did it?
The two issues of pixelation/white screen may, if you are lucky, just be a connector thats loose. The sound I think is unrelated but again sounds like a poor connection at the white rear speaker connector block - not uncommon.
Both of the above could be caused by a sharp knock. There have also been cases of poor battery connections causing problems.
If you have a warranty use it. If not you can follow the dismantling guides or service manual to dismantle - check connections and re-assemble. Be prepared though, that sending it in might still be required!!

Will send it in
Hi Guys, Thanks fr your replies.
I will take the unit back to the store today.
I am not aware that I bumped it, or neither it has dropped. May be a connection that was allready quite loose to begin with. Lets see what HTC and the store will tell me
Strange thing is, that without my sim in it, and not using it, it stays normal... Have put it aside, and used a very old phone instead, and it is still normal..

Mmmm... that's important information and changes things a bit. Could be a sim card contact or something about the sim. Anyway it tends to suggest that other thoughts about hardware issues may not be correct!
Hope you find the answer at the store.

hd2 stuck in carkit mode

erhm....
my hd2 is somehow stuck in carkit mode, right after completely booting up it turns to carkit mode.
i've allready tried a few roms and it keeps comming back, so my guesses are that it's a hardware problem, anyone familiar with this problem?

I had the exact same problem with my HD2, this issue might have been caused by various reasons. You either have dust/dirt on your sensors or the sensors are damaged.
Try disassembling your device and cleaning them, if that don't work try an android Nand ROM, on some of them you have the option to disable the sensors and you don't have to deal with Navitel. I've been experiencing this problem long time now.. going Android was the only option I had left.

In a lot of cases this was caused by a dodgy USB socket, so before dismantling the phone, give the USB a clean with a dry toothbrush

Lol, never thought I'd see a reply on this thread
But the problem got solved over time, so O guess the sensor was dirty.
Anyway my hd2's antenna is almost dead so I was forced to change my daily device.
But android anyway is a very nice solution for the hd2's life in general
A fully tweaked up hd2 isn't much slower than my current stock One X
I guess time will tell how this phone will end up XD

"USB cb wake lock" "vbus_present" etc. battery charging when unplugged.

"USB cb wake lock" "vbus_present" etc. battery charging when unplugged.
Hi All,
This is not a question, its something I want to share as I searched a lot and read a lot on this.
After flashing a 300+ roms without a problem, my S2 decided that it was going to suddenly and randomly act up.
The battery acted as if if was charging when unplugged. Betterbattery stats showed "USB cb wake lock" + "vbus_present" using massive amounts of battery.
I flashed a few stock roms, some custom and many kernels with ODIN but nothing fixed it.
Eventually I had 8-9 back ups on my phone and I tried each of these but the error continued in all but one. After days of frustration I was beginning to think it was a hardware USB issue that I need to replace the part. But no, one of the restore fixed it.
It started acting up today but I cleared battery stats and fixed permissions and all is well again.
Not sure why this randomly happened but I wanted to share this as many are of the opinion its always a hardware issue and needs replacing when clearly there are exceptions to this.
If anyone understand why the above worked, I would appreciate comments as there are some very clever people here and I am sure some of you have fixed this issue.
Thanks.

My two cents on how or what is happening, however not on the software side: Some people with the same issue report that cleaning the USB-port with a toothbrush or any soft brush helped, and sometimes the issue appears or disappears randomly. I guess that the USB connector is badly soldered/mounted onto the board. This could explain why the issue comes and goes, because if the connector gets pushed/pulled in the right direction, the port could reconnect.
I had the same issue, the wakelocks, 'charging' written on the lockscreen, and every now and then the 'charger connected' sound. However flashing, batterystats-wiping and whatnot did not help. Only when I exchanged the board in the lower end (where the USB connector is) with one I had lying around the issue disappeared and has in the two months since never reappeared.
If this keeps happening, it could be worth a try, and it is quite easy to do. There is a very nice photo guide on here somewhere on replacing the screen, it explains it all and is no different for the USB-connector. It also is a possibility, if you don't mind the trouble, to reflash to stock and let the phone be repaired at a service centre.
If you need help or the link to the photo guide, I might still have it somewhere.
I hope this helps.

Very much appreciate your reply and you could be right about the bad soldering issue, I am going to order the part anyway and have it on stand by.
It was strange that all of the roms, kernels and backups did not work except one. I did the port cleaning and all that too but to no avail but it might be all coincidence that it worked with the backup for a finish. which reminds me, I better change my signature
Thanks or your reply and for your offer to help, it is much appreciated. Thankfully its running butter smoothe at present and I wonder if the USB port is susceptible to moisture too, which might be my issue.

Help Please - D800 Logic Board gone the way of the Titanic

Hey all. Have an LG G2 D800 that I got the Watchdog Bark then a Watchdog Bite and then my logic (motherboard) board went the way of the Titanic. I have replaced the logic board but there are some pictures on the old logic board that I need recovered. I tried all the solutions offered here to get the logic board recognized so that I can reformat/recover the disk and reload the system to no avail. As such, I went and bought a used logic board. Phone boots and goes into the system fine and operates great except that I have no microphone pick up whatsoever. So I replaced the charging slot/speaker/microphone board with a new board and still no microphone pickup but the speakers work fine as does the charger. This indicated to me that the "new" logic board that I got has a problem, but I am unable to resolve it even using all the tactics that are specified here on this and other forums.
Anyways, the old logic board is out of the phone and I am willing to compensate someone if they can retrieve the pictures off of this logic board for me. Again, I tried everything to get the board operational including shorting the capacitors but nothing seems to work. I am just a regular person with very very limited knowledge of this stuff so any help in resolving this problem is going to be greatly appreciated. The computer only tells me that the "USB Device Unrecognized" and no drivers load so I can not use the LG Flash tools to fix it, and I also tried UBUNTU but this OS did not see the logic board either.
And any other recommendations on how to solve the microphone issue on the "new" logic board is welcomed as well but I have gone through about 100 different threads on all sorts of forums with no solution to this problem, hence this is why I think the "new" logic board is bad.
Any advice and help appreciated.

Low volume on microphone after changing of daughterboard

So, I have had issues with loading my phone. I changed the daughterboard to fix the issue.
Now I have a whole different issue, the mic volume is really low to the point where I almost have to shout to make myself heard.. Is there any way I can boost line in? I am guessing there is some option in mixer_path where I can do it, but where? I don´t want to change something before I am 100% sure about what it does..
Any one able to help me??

Hmm... Wouldn't it be wiser to think about what happened rather than hacking your phone to make it work again? It used to work properly with the same hardware before. There's no reason it should change because you replaced a composant.
Except if maybe:
1 - the new composant is faulty.
2 - the new composant is crap and damaged your existing hardware.
3 - you damaged a wire/harness rebuilding your phone.
Just trying to eliminate all possibilities... Charge your phone fully since the old Port is dead. Open your device and replace the daughter board with your old one again and test the mic. Hopefully you won't have to modify system files and get your device back up and running!
Good luck... :good:

Well, the microphone is located on the same daughterboard. Sure, the new one seems to be faulty to some point. I only found out after some days that the mic was on the same board so the old one as it had a faulty charge port got tossed sadly.
Now I am stuck with a working chargerport but with a very low mic line in so I am trying to work something out besides tossing the whole phone. So as I said, anyone know of any way to boost line in by editing the mixer_path file?
Edit: Hope you don´t see me as rude 5.1 but I have sadly no other options then to edit or hack my phone, thx for your comments thou :good:

Hello... Not rude at all...
I'm not an electronic engineer, but you know amplifying the signal to the point your mic works as intended could maybe damage other parts of the phone as it is not designed to work this way. Again I'm not sure it's the case...
Good luck..!
