I got attention twice
My Atom's screen was vibrating...
I was looking to the today screen and suddenly screen vibrated (not phone or device vibration, only today display was vibrating)
I was able to read the text on the today screen (for example date and hour) but they were like shadowed and moving, shivering...
I hardreset at first time, but repeated after hardreset once...
Anyone has same problem?
Any commend?
both my girlfriend and i have atoms. mine is fine but hers has the issue you describe.
the screen appears to vibrate and then after a bit it's finished and all is fine and dandy again. it does not appear to affect the ability to use the phone. she has also had the situation where the screen just fades out and a soft reset is required to fix it.
i imagine it is a hardware fault but i don't want to tell her to take it back for a service/warranty claim as she had huge issues with her previous phone and knowing how crap O2 service is in australia i would hate to see her without her phone for 2 or 3 months. she uses daily and it would be impossible to be without it for even a week.
at the moment we are living with the issue. if it really fails then i guess we will have to do the warranty thing and she uses mine.
the upshot is...this vibrating is not a one off thing. we have it as well. it will continue to happen on your phone. if you do get it checked and fixed with O2 can you post your results here (especially time taken for O2 to deal with it) so we can see how to deal with this ourselves.
has anyone faced the phone switching off even when it's screen locked? This happened a few times to me.
1st scenario is when my phone is in a waist pouch which is a little tight for this model. when i take it out of the pouch, i either find it off or waiting at the sim unlock screen. this is caused by pressing the power button accidentally.
2nd scenario is after charging over night, i wake up to find the phone asking me to key in sim unlock pin (it will not be completely off because whenever charger is plugged in, it will power up). The phone was screen locked before i charge it and i did not touch the power button by accident unlike scenario 1.
which ever the scenario, by right the power off button shouldn't work whilst in screen lock right?
The same scenarios happend to me, sometimes more than once a day. Very annoying.
I too have this issue, especially the overnight charging one, which is annoying because then the alarm fails to go off!!! After convincing 2 other people to get the Trophy 7 they also experience this.
I called HTC support in the UK yesterday and all they could suggest to me was that I reset the phone settings, which I've done, and of course ended up needing to put all my settings back in which is extremely frustrating when I expect that it won't fix anything.
I really would recommend calling HTC support in your country and logging a call, because the guy told me that I was the first to report it.
You can get the phone numbers from the htc website, which i cannot post the URL to since I'm a new user, but I'm sure you can find it. Go to "Support" -> "Customer Service" -> "Support by hotline"
Of course, you could not call them to report the issue, but then they'll think that I'm the only user in the world with the problem and not actually resolve it!!! It's going to take you about 10mins and they'll keep talking to you about windows mobile 6.5, instead of windows phone, but the more calls logged = greater chance of resolution.
I've had the turning of when it's in my pocket, but i've never had it turn of overnight when charging.
at least not that i've noticed
Whilst experimenting with android on my touch pro from the very beginning when you couldn't enter a sim code, i've removed it and i'm to lazy to set a new one
All the problems (screen freeze of crazy dancing icons of phone shutting down) solved after FLASHING newest WWE ROM from this forum. Maybe helps, but U have to decide and do it yourself or not.
This has happend MANY times on my trophy aswell.. I ended up turning off the sim lock code (That way the phone starts up again after boot and your alarms etc works)
Yup, I've had the "pocket" thing also happen to me, more than once in the same day... quite frustating.
Qtek S200 (HTC Prophet) After ROM update, its now shutting down whilst in sleep mode
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but recently I upgraded my s200's ROM using the CD utility that came with it. Its now running Build 14928.2.2.0 of WM5.
Before the ROM update it has never done it once.
Some people said they got the problem when it went into lock screen, my lock screen is fine. It will only do it when the phone is in sleep mode, if i disable the "power off" timout setting then its absolutly fine aslong as i dont press the power button.
Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem?
Somebody did mention about flashing the rom from one of OS's on this site, but all the ones I have found contain dead rapidshare links.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
My solution on Trophy is simple, using a Casemate case on my phone. It makes the off button so stiff, that it's hard to shut off.
I guess I never realized why it was such a pain in the case to shut off... this MUST be the reason. Also, since I now have two Trophy's (one for developing roms), this other one I just bought has been through hell, and it's difficult to half press the camera button to focus. The Casemate case I have on my good Trophy makes it far harder to press the camera button, but my year old Trophy that I've always had doesn't suffer from any problems with its camera button.
This is the newer version of the Casemate case I was using on my HTC Trophy. I don't know if this will help you with your older phone, but maybe Casemate makes a case for it. Since it's an older phone, it will be difficult.
My little sister observatenly identified that my phone was extremely thin. She then suggested it could snap easily and attempted to do so. Obviously she failed being reasonably weak. however!
I stopped her, and proceeded to use my phone to surf the web. In rather strange fashion, i was on the standard google home page when for no reason the letters google went all over the screen, the gyroscope stopped functioning. In panic I turned the phone off and restarted it. The phone booted as usual, however, in that bootup animation screen where the 'S' changes colours, suddenly random pixels turned green, red and blue at random and a million 'S's' appeared. I was convinced at this point that the screen was broken.
I took out the battery and rebooted and the phone just started as usual and has worked for 24 hours just fine since.
Do you reckon there could be any long term damage here?
Why would you let someone do this test on your phone ?
well now you can return your phone, lol.
The only permanent damage should be to your fkwit of a sister. Something like a phone will obviously snap if you apply enough pressure on it.
Hello all, I'm curious to hear your thoughts and advice.
My nook is completely unresponsive. It is not stuck at rooted forever.
In fact this has nothing with a root attempt/reset/restore/power on.
I had done a a fresh reset/root with touchnooter about four months ago and was happily and smoothly reading for about two months. I then got busy and put the nook down, did not touch or use for about another two months. I tried to use it about a week ago but found that it had run out of battery in sleep after the two months of disuse (not surprising). I put it on charge overnight and everything booted right and functioned well once it turned on, except that the battery indicator in the statusbar showed a "?" and the battery info in system info showed 100% "unknown". After alot of fruitless research I put it down with the intention of reset/restore/root when I had the time.
I just picked it up this morning and was faced with the expected "Press then button below to wake up your NOOK" screen. But when I pressed the "n" button nothing happened. Obviously holding the "n" did nothing as well.
I tried to power it off and on- nothing
holding power for 20- nothing
power for 30- nothing
8 failed boots- nothing
left right- nothing
left right power-nothing
random pushing and holding of power- nothing
all these with mem card in and out- nothing
all these plugged usb- nothing
all these pugged ac- nothing
I let it charge some more- nothing
None of the buttons do anything, the screen stays inevitably at the " press the n button to wake" screen. no activity whatsoever except that when It is plugged in, the green light shows. NO ORANGE LIGHT... it is fully charged by both usb and ac.
It is not detected at all by windows anywhere.
In Linux- lsusb, bklid, and df -h yield nothing. My nook might as well be the invisible stupid ereader.
I did not drop it, sumbmerge it, perform magic around it... It has been sitting on a shelf doing nothing.
To repeat, the only thing my nook does is light up green when plugged.
It is unchangeably stuck on poe's face...
If this isn't true brick, I don't know what is.
I'm exhausted. Any ideas? I appreciate the help.
Best,
Thomas
i don't know. i just know my dog ate mine and i'm now in the market for a new screen, so if you don't get it working sell me the unit and get some money for yourself to purchase a new one =D
or you could google the disassembly instructions and try unplugging the battery, not very hard to do. could be of .. some help perhaps?
I would definitely take you up on your offer, but i'm still under warranty.
However, I would still like to have my original, and figure out what is going on and why it happened.
Ideas?
Thank you.

That's it, thanks so much.
if it help
if it helps let them know in the tread that you had same problem. they are wondering whether it is due to host mode
[N2E]: After automatic update to 1.1, Nook Touch Screen absolutely DEAD--Nothing Work
THIS WAS A POST FROM ANOTHER SITE AS TO MY PROBLEM:
I was reading on my N2E last night. I put it down for about 30 minutes and when I came back it was displaying the default "Authors" screensaver (I had switched to the Nature photos) and asking to slide to unlock. I thought, "Oh, the new software update must have downloaded and installed. I'll check it out." To my shock, the touch screen was completely unresponsive--no amount of swiping would unlock from the screen saver. I let it set for a while longer thinking perhaps the softare update was not yet finished. No such luck.
As a result of the new update, my NOOK is now completly DEAD! I tried powering off, but couldn't do that because you are asked to confirm power off on the touchscreen, which no longer works. So, I looked online and tried the soft reset/reboot by holding down the "Home" or "n" button and then pressing the power button for several seconds. Great--it started rebooting...and came right back to the "authors" screen saver and asking to swipe to unlock. I tried this rebooting process several times, always with the same result: back to screeensaver mode with completely unresponsive touchscreen.
So, looked at the online technical troubleshooting discussion and helps and decided to try a downloaded manual install of the software update. Plugged my NOOK into my computer and it recognized it. So, I downloaded the manualo software update and dragged and dropped it onto the NOOK as directed and sure enough, it started to reboot itself. I thought, "whew, maybe this will fix it". NOPE--came right back to the locked screensaver, with no mention of attempting to update software, and the touchscreen is still dead. (By the way, all of this was done initially with the NOOK showing about 94% charged, so it was not a battery issue.)
Reconnected the NOOK to my computer and the software update file was gone from its home directory, which implies it did something with it. So, I tried repeatedly to install the software update manually, always with the same result: NOOK comes back to locked default "authors" screensaver wtih a dead touchscreen.
Looked online for B&N technical support again saw that others had this problem (though only found a couple references). Found the instructions to do a factory reset and reluctantly tried that, desparate to make my NOOK work again, but frustrated that if it did I would have to rebuild everyting on it and download my 400+ B&N book library all over again. But, guess what, factory reset just comes up to the "Welcome to your all-new NOOK" screen (sounds like progress), BUT the touchscreen is STILL dead, so I can't hit the "Next" button onscreen to proceed with setting up my factory-reset NOOK. Tried rebooting again (as this seems to be the only solution offered in the online tech support) and now it just keeps coming back to the "Welcome to your all-new NOOK" screen with a dead touchscreen keeping me from doing anything.
So, now I am taking it back to my local B&N store in hopes they will exchange it for a new NOOK.
I really want to see a feature to disable automatic updates in the future. I specifically didn't download and manually install when the update came out, figuring I'd wait for the automatic download to give time to B&N to work out the bugs and perhaps issue a patch (as they have done in the past for the N1E). Instead I get no warning about the automatic download (happens while I am reading and set the NOOK aside for 30 minutes), and then the update KILLS my NOOK.
I am not a satisfied NOOK customer at this point.
MY POST: (from the that site)
Not Sure how to do this post or whatever, but I was happy until the update and everything that happened to you is the same with me. This is the first post that describes what happened to me. I'm out of warranty and refuse (and can't) to buy another one of these. If their updates can do this, I'm not sure I want to sink another $100 into the shareholders pockets. I'd really like to know if anyone knows what may be wrong with it.
In addition to what was already mentioned, I took the battery out several times(which seems intimidating but very easy but voids the warranty) and took it completely apart cleaning the screen very well with water and another time a glass cleaner. I tried rooting also. Not sure of what to do now. It seems software related due to working fine until the update. Still at the "Welcome to your all-new NOOK" screen with unresponsive screen. I wasn't sure if the last sentence from B&N was a personal message to me welcoming me to the "new" state of the my nook.
Thanks for any help from anyone.
Thanks.
Identical problem.... and no fix..
It is a shame you got no solution for this. and the worst, you are not the only one... it happened exactly the same with my Nook ST....
Hopeless...

The factory restore does not actually fix every possible problem with your Nook.
If your Nook responds at all, try to boot it up on an SD card like ClockworkMod or noogie.
At least that way you can see what is happening.
The partitioning might have become corrupted which the "factory restore" does not touch.
If no response with anything, try disconnecting the battery.
You might also try booting over USB using the techniques in rooting the new white glow.
Hello I was wondering if I'm just screwed I bought 2 nook simple touch, one for me and one for a present to my mother for her birthday on march 16. I bought them at best buy for $40 a piece on January 30. I used mine and was perfect but when I tried to set up my mom it wouldn't load the license agreement, always got stuck or reboot or something, so I loaded cwm on an sd card just to play around, tested on my nook and was fine, then put it on my moms nook booted once then I didn't press anything and turn it off then I load the image but when I tried to boot again it got stuck on the load screen and wont do anything, no reset sequence will work with the sd card on or off the other nook boots with this sd card. at the end I exchanged with my mom she is happy with her nook an I have a useless unit do you think they will exchange it I didn't rooted it or did anything to it but has the n cwm splash on screen forever. I'm in Costa Rica right now and wont return home until May do you think I'll might be able to exchange it or should I just try to repair it.
I'm glad that your mother got the working one!
You say that that one will boot on your CWM SD card, but yours won't?
It may be hard to get your unit exchanged with a conspicuous screen on it, even if it's not your fault.
When you plug it into your desktop is there any indication of a new USB device found?
If it's charged and no amount of the power button gets a reaction, I'd open it up.
any news???
Hi endor43, same problem here, have been able to find any solution?

There are times when a Nook gets in a mode where it won't accept a charge.
Opening it up and disconnecting the battery for a minute might fix this.

When this worked for you did the light turn orange right when you plugged the battery back in? I just took the battery out, plugged the nook into a charger, and with it plugged in plugged the battery back in and the light stays green the whole time yet I'm not able to use the nook at all.
My nook second generation is not responding to my touch I tried everything to get it to work and I eventually got it to completely power of what if it does not work when I turn it on what should I do
It could be power/battery problems.
Check to see if it makes itself known when the USB is plugged in.
If it reacts at all, that's an indication of life.
Hello, I am on the Android L preview and recently had to replace the back cover due to the glass breaking. While I was in there, I pried up in the wrong spot and cut the gsm/3g antenna that is attached to the loud speaker. I replaced that and in the process discovered that the wire antenna as almost falling apart too, so I ordered one and replaced that. I am fairly confident that I did not mess anything else in the process, however, my phone has not been working well since. The phone will be fine, unless I use the 3g connection. SMS and voice do not seem to have any affect, however, if I use the browser for more than 2 min, the phone will randomly cut out my 3g/gsm signal and then it will come back and continue to do this for a few min until the phone shuts off. When I boot into TWM recovery, the only thing strange that I notice is that my battery would go from 80% when the phone was on to 1% in recovery, until the phone will appear to have 0% and not boot on (as if it truly had no battery). The strange thing is, the phone will boot back up if I leave it alone for a little while without putting it back on the charger. I have completely wiped my phone, locked it, restore to stock, re-rooted and unlocked and flashed my rom (5.0 preview). This has not changed anything.
I finally was able to capture a bug report. I have no idea how to read it though. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.
I have attached the bug report.
Thank you!
