Had it for a week and dust under the screen ! !

It is 10-24-09 and I received my HTC Touch 3G T3232 Jade 100 on 10-16-09. I have had it for a week and I am noticing dust under the screen. I don't know if this is a known issue.

I've used my Jade for nearly a year now. The screen is still cyrstal clear. There must be something wrong with your set as the screen should be dust-tight. You should claim your warranty and get a replacement.

I e-mailed HTC on Oct. 24th. Waiting to hear from them.

So, I called HTC today since I never received a reply to my email and I am sending the phone in. I am sad to be temporarily parting with it since I have only had it for two weeks. I also hate that it took me about a week an half to get settings to what I want and will now have to get them all correct again when it comes back.

You should backup your settings and customisation on to SD before you send in, so that when you receive it back you can easily restore all your settings to that just before you sent them.

I've got the same problem with mine, bought it end of January 2010, three weeks later I've got some dust behind the screen, on the top. After having made the backup of my data with sprite backup, I've gone to the shop I bought the mobile, and got a new one with no problem to this day!

?????????? hows that possible lmao
Im still in 2009

phone over heating and shutting off?

its doing it in WM and andriod.. is this my phone or something this phone just does. It happens mostly when on the internet or taking pics in MW and at anytime with andriod.

It's your hardware. Some versions of the HD2 were defective and get really hot around the processor. As a safety measure it cuts off to prevent system damage. This happened to me with my first HD2 I swapped it out and never had the problem again!

tnx, they sent me a new one at no charge. They said the samething. I had mine since day one and the first batch just had alot of problems.

hi guys, I think i have the issue with my HD2. were you guys under warranty? I bought mine off craigslist :-/

same as candyman123 but i bought mine on ebay and i live in albania.
is there any chance/way for Tmobile to send me a new phone ?
does the warranty transfers or not ?
thanx in advance

If the phone is still under warranty you need to contact HTC directly and they will replace it. T-Mobile will not do anything if you aren't on their service. I don't even think they will do it if you are on there service, but got the phone from a third party that they aren't partnered with.
Call HTC support. Don't mention that you loaded Android on it. Play dumb. And if it's Hard SPL'd change it back to stock before you send it in.

My Focus is dead, won't charge, won't turn on, strange smell coming from the battery

I just plugged my Focus to my laptop and after a while when I was going to make a call I noticed it was dead. Tried pulling the battery out and then putting it back on and nothing, what happens is that it vibrates more than the usual when I try to turn the phone on, but it is still dead.
Then I took the battery out again, then put it back on, tried the 3 button hard reset and the screen showed a lot of blue lines in the center of the screen and you can see the SAMSUNG logo but not so clearly.
While I was trying everything to solve the issue, I noticed a strange smell coming from the battery and the pins where the charge goes through the phone. But just the smell, no liquid or something similar.
I am in Costa Rica, so I can't take it to an ATT store. Any suggestions? Someone with a similar problem?

I am one of the few other blessed individuals to have my Focus go haywire and stop working. Only difference is mine would do random hard resets, and then eventually it stopped loading into the phone and stuck on the Samsung logo with crazy vibrations going on. I just sent my phone to the Samsung repair center last week.
At this point, you may want to just call up Samsung directly and talk to them about it. More than likely it will be covered under the manufacturers warranty.
1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864)
Since you’re in Costa Rica I’m not sure how they would handle it, so I can’t help you there.

Thanks for the info. Yes my Focus was working great, I bought it like 6 months ago and not a single issue until yesterday.
I am not sure if I am covered by any warranty, because I bought it through eBay, so I think not even Samsung directly is covering me...
Well thanks for the help!

If the date of manufacture is less than a year then just call them up and try. I wouldnt mention ebay though.

I actually traded my Samsung Captivate with someone for their Focus on Craigslist. I just sent in my Focus last week to the repair center, and apparently it's already ready, and most importantly covered. I think the end of August marks the one year mark of the Manufacturer’s warranty just an FYI.
Just like jaraya13 said below... do not mention Ebay. Just say you received the phone as a gift. I told them my family member could not find the receipt since they purchased the phone 8 months ago

UPDATED - My Motherboard is DEAD!

UPDATE 1/14/2017
So after calling uncountable times from Uruguay to Google, Best Buy and Huawei. I finnaly made some progress. I call Huawei and they told me that if I was still on the warranty period they will help me with my device. So they asked me for some photos of the phone and a copy of the recipt of my purchase. After 3 days of waiting I recive a mail with a label from UPS to send my phone, I was really surprised because the payed for a shippment by plane of 130 dollars. I sent the phone and they told me that in a few days they will email me back telling me if my phone it's able for a repair or the will replace and upgrade my phone, (by adding extra memory). I'll keep up to date this post.
BTW thanks to all of you who tried to help me!
A week ago my phone just simply turn off and never boot up again. The ONLY thing that i notice its that the phone was making a electric sound near the top speaker, but the phone didn´t turn on the red light. So i take it to a third party phone repair service and they told me that the motherboard was dead and they couldn´t fix it because here (in URUGUAY) there are no parts for this phone. So im asking u what to do. Send the phone back tu USA to a repair service, buy a new motherboard and repair it by myself.
IMPORTANT: The phone has lees than a year but i buy it on a travel tu USA so the warranty here in Uruguay doesn´t do anything.
Sorry for my english!
Thank U

I'd repair it myself or buy a new phone sending it off is going to cost about the same most Likely.

Work on EUR (ITA) only?

My phone just stopped functioning about a 3 months ago. It would just bootloop without access to bootloader or anything. I called Google (3times) and finally they gave me a new one. The first two wanted me to mail it to huawei for 4 weeks without a phone. The 3rd was american and shipped me one. Its probably a doable repair only that the back its a ***** to get off I think. I'd do it myself

Motherboard issue
Hey guys,
I'm from India and I got the Nexus 6P when it was launched. After I got the phone, around a month later I got the phone replaced as it had some battery problems. Now the present scenario is 4 days ago the phone was acting pretty weird. The camera app wasn't opening and it would close saying there's an error. The fingerprint sensor was very very slow. If there was an incoming call it would just vibrate and the screen would be still off. I took it to the Huawei service center and left it there. Now there are saying the motherboard is damaged and they are asking 20000 INR (approx 300 USD). Now the thing is there isn't a single scratch as I had used it in a very careful way and haven't done anything thing to it.The warranty is also expired. I literally feel scammed as paying so much for a phone and it's lifetime is just around 1 and half year. It sucks tbh. And paying so much for that motherboard is useless because even if I sell it the market price for second hand Nexus 6P is less.
Please help me out guys.
Thank you.

Having the same problem as yours bro. But they asked me 14000 INR. So I happened to give it to third party service center and they tried to solve the problem, in fact the phone booted up and now it's in bootloop and they suggested me to take it to authorized service center as they couldn't solve the bootloop issue and they say it's a software issue (they took 2200 INR). Hope it gets solved through the software. I'll update when they give an update. If this doesn't work, i'll just buy a pixel 2

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread.
Anyways, my phone lasted 1 year and 2 months, so basically the phones are clocked to fail after warranty.
I suggest you try the 4 core boot image fix if the phone is bootlooping. Have been running it for few months with this jugaad.

Nexus 6p- dead after 1 yr 9 months
Same problem has happened with me. The phone is now dead after using it for 1 year 9 months. Means 43000 for 1 year 9 months.
Please help me out as the huawei service centre is asking for 18k rs. Why i should pay for the problems that everyone is facing after i browsed the forums pages and lot of other websites.
I feel cheated after purchasing this phone. I was alot positive for nexus series. But they are waste.
Even the google support didnt gave a proper reply

Even i am facing the same issue . I also go to know from the service centre that they already had 30 such complaint. The phone was not physically damaged . This is not fare to pay 20,000 INR when we are not responsible for the issue .

Hello @kat19, the problem seems to be completely hardware and I should replace my botherboard in order for my phone to work. Since it costs too much for the replacement, I sat quiet and planning on buying a new Pixel 2 device. There is nothing I can do with the software for the device to work.

Silver color here too

if you have a friend in the USA they can request a warranty repair for you if you can get it to them
my mom did this for a friend who also bought it during travel to USA from Peru

The device is out of warranty. It's almost 1 year and 9 months old. So I'm sure it's not under warranty. Anyways thanks for the suggestion.!

Is your bootloader unlocked? Have you tried flashing the 4 core boot image?

WIFI wont turn on anymore

Hi Guys , I would appreciate if anyone could help.
I have a V20 Taiwan model since November .
The WiFi suddenly does not turn on anymore .
When I click the switch the screen just stays at 'turning WiFi on' and does nothing .
I have reset the phone 2 times and no difference .
Is this a common issue with this phone . I would really appreciate any help.
The phone e has never been modified or rooted .Etc.
Everything is original.
Cheers

I didn't see any other people report this kinda issue. I guess there's an issue with either the wifi driver (aka radio) or the hardware itself. You should try flashing the ROM again. If that doesn't help, you've had to send it to the service center for hardware failure.

I have the exact same problem... Sending it back for repair.

@bazzazz, @Frayday
Reviving an old thread because mine is showing same WiFi problems after seven months. Resetting to factory / flashing default ROMs doesn't solve the problem. Just wanted to know if both of your phone's could be repaired by the LG service centre. What did they say?

Mine was purchased from DWI . Hong Kong . Sent it back and was told that it could not be repaired. They sent me a new phone .. But here we are again 1 year later and having issues with severe lag and overheating . Not a great phone by any means . I will be Going back to Xiaomi real soon ..

Interesting, I too bought mine on DWI... I sent it back for repair. They said the unit was faulty and a new one is supposedly on the way. I wonder where they get the phones from. Maybe they are refurbished phones?

Thanks to both of you. I bought it online from Amazon India from a seller of repute, at 50% discount. It seems that they were selling refurbished units without proper quality checks. I bought this phone basically for using as a music player and easy photography (without carrying a DSLR) and this was never used as my daily phone. Now it seems that I have to limit the use for camera and music only. Very very dejected. Further the phone was never elevated from Nougat 7.0. God knows when 8.0 will arrive. Never going to buy LG again.

Hello, sorry for my late reply. They actually fixed it and it has been working fine every since. Oreo is running smoothly too! I actually love my LG V20... it has everything I need, including removable batteries (not ready to give that up yet, don't want to carry a powerbank with me or wait 30 minutes for my phone to charge a bit. Swap the battery and ready to go!)

I got it repaired in June,2018, free of cost as the phone was still in warranty. The service personnels were good and they changed the hardware, probably the motherboard within 3 days as the same was not in their stock. Note the same is running well but sadly no Oreo update in India yet. And I doubt Oreo will ever come to India. I will continue to use my phone as Music player and non DSLR camera.

If I flash the original kdz file, the warranty is still valid?
Does the date appear when kdz was written?
