TyTN:Temporary Method to deal with LCD Alignment Problem

I don't know why this setting can solve this problem (May be).
Go to
start > Setting > Connection > USB to PC
Step:
1. Uncheck USB to PC
2. Start > Setting > System > Screeen > Calibration the Alignment of Screen
3. Soft Reset.
My friend also use CHT9000 (Taiwan Version) and told me this method. After the above mentioned adjustment, not alignment problem up to this moment.
I also use this method. 2 days gone, no alignment problem was found. I will keep to update this post in the future.
Hope it can help. :roll:

There is a thread or two about this on the general side or somewhere.
"Search" will work fine.

I tought it is working but not.
I have contacted with the local HTC/QTEK partner.
Waiting for the official solution.
BR,
Joe

I think that I may have a proper fix. my alignment seemed to be fixed by a rom upgrade but has been getting prgressively worse for a few days. Last night I tried something hardware based. I will test this for two days before I will say what it is but I have had no misalignment issue in the few hours since I did it.

could you post what you did so even if it doesnt work, we would know?

Ok it hasn't shifted at all today!
I was going to open it up to have a look at the rubber gasket that was mentioned in another post but chickened out!
Optional but probably a good idea; turn off and remove the battery.
1) Slide keyboard out and turn face down.
2) There are 2 tiny screws on the back of the screen that need to be undone. They have thread lock on them so a small crack will be heard as it releases.
3) Once the screws are out a further small crack noise may be heard. That'll be the tension being taken off the screen!
4) Put the screws back in and tighten (or should that be TyTN?). Do not over tighten these as it is only plastic.
5) If necessary realign the screen (hopefully for the last time)
As kind of proof that this has worked, this post was made from my v1605 on hsdpa while I was talking on the phone using bluetooth and got very hot and didn't need any realigning!
Hope it works for others!

I have the O2 Trion and my screen will be slight misaligned at the right side (cant use the vert scroll bar) . Is this exactly your problem ?
Does your problem happened again, if not could you post some pic/steps on how you did it ?
Thanks :roll:

4) Put the screws back in and tighten (or should that be TyTN?). Do not over tighten these as it is only plastic.
as long as there is no excessive used here, that is what you mean right?

You're correct. Before I did this one screw was clearly at an angle and afterwards it was straight.
If anyone else has success let me know and I'll try to get some photos and do a how-to on the wiki.
Phil

i tried this out for my friend and he claims that while it did fix the alignment problem on the right side, sometimes the screen becomes slightly misaligned. could be that i tightened a bit too hard so will look into this.

yes please

hi ...
when I undone the 2 screws.. i dont hear ANY noise... but I remove and returned it a little bit untight.
Let see... :roll:

Anybody had any success with this?
I haven't had any alignment issues since I did this 2 days ago.

When I did it for my friend, he claims that the screen, while does not have as serious an alignment problem as before, still has it. Its not that bad.
He notices that the problem usually comes after making a call. No matter how long the call (whether for 1 min or 40 mins), the screen will be slightly mis-aligned and needs to be re-aligned. Things like pressing the 'ENTER' button on the phone pad does not work unless he presses a certain part of the button.
Any advice for him?

low45,
I undone the 2 screws but hear no click or crack and return it back not so tight... is that the correct way... I will monitor mine, since it only happening once a day..

Though I do not hv one but I can inform that it is the bad quality of work..this has been happening to all the recent G4 Wizards and Prophets with SZ series serial number.
I think thehardware design has gone wrong..
Pls check yr serial number..if they start from HT or SZ

i think all the HTC Hermes manufactured are of the HT version

screw no help
ok... after a day.. it happened again...
I just hard reset and did not load the extROM last night... let see .. :roll:

me i go back to change it
i have HT630xxxx and no probleme

HTC not vibrating anymore

Hello to all,
I have a HTC 3600 with the rom “Karmba_a 7.2 eLiAs EN-20000” for a long time and everything was working great, until last Friday when it stop vibrating as it was suppose to do when receiving a call.
After trying lots of things I decided to reflash it. And it’s still the same, does not vibrate.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance

Changing motor vibrator needs to go to repair.
How can see bord to see if there is humidity? Does not look like a easy operation.

it may cause of the loosen screw which stick the vibrator with the phone. I have this happen before, you can try open the case and screw it back or take to some repair shop.

That was it! Everything is working fine again.
Thank you enduromen and ctrlaltdel.

Well, I'm having the same problem again, sometimes vibrate, sometimes don't.
And I can hear something loose inside the phone maybe it's the screw that stick the vibrating motor.
Can anyone tell me if there is a tutorial for opening the phone and check that out?
Thanks in advance

take a look
unscrew (inside trinity 1.jpg; screw circled with red) and open the cover, then you will see the vibrator and the screw that stick the virbator with the MB (inside trinity 2.jpg; circle with red). Screw it back and done.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the suggestion
I've tried flashing a new rom, as well as trying a different headset... same deal
(I however haven't tried if those headsets work with other phones... so I'll try to do that next to make sure I'm not unlucky to the point where both mics dead)

Had a similar problem today--erratic vibrating and occasional strange noises. Thought it was the ROM that I had just reflashed but thankfully stumbled onto this thread - it was the very loose screw! Thanks for the advice.

Just to add a little levity, here's a solution that you probably didn't think of and most likely wouldn't have thought you needed. But... it's a funny idea, nonetheless...

thanks a lot...!!!

My trinity also stoped vibrating.
Same here, and fixed it now.
Thanks astroganger for asking this question.
And everyone how answered

what kind of tool did you use for the screws?

One word of warning: There's also another screw under the stylus. Don't forget that one when you dissasemble or it might break.

The tool needed can be bought at most electronics stores, ie: Radio Shack, etc...
It is a #6 Torx driver. Also called T6 Might find it at Auto Parts store, but not sure, it's pretty small...
It seems the stopped vibration is almost always the loose screw. Mine fell completely out and was wedged against the vibrating motor, stopping it's rotation. After the phone was open, it was an easy fix.

[Q] HD2: any help for broken power button?

The power button on my HD2 (LEO) has finally quit working for good. I have set MAGLDR to always run its menu, so I can get at recovery without the power button, but if the phone reboots without my knowing it, it sits at that menu (and gets quite hot) until I notice it and respond.
Soes anyone have any information on repairing the power button without sending the phone to HTC? Or, is there a way to have MAGLDR select one of its menu options after a time delay?

Understood, but the videos I've seen are unclear as to how much you need to disassemble to det to the button strip. Truthfully, removing the screen with a hear gun really scares me! I've done complete tear down and reassembly of Blackberry, but that's primarily mechanical in nature and I'm OK with that kind of work.
Has anyone here actually done this repair?

Well, you dont have to seperate the screen. The heat gun is used to seperate the main body from the screen MODULE. whilst keeping the screen and digitizer glued in place. Then, once you seperate the screen module and main housing, you flip over the screen module, and there is the digitizer plug, and the button strip which comes out easily. Here is the video i used. I think its the best one It shows EVERYTHING

Sadly, if it isn't something simple like the plastic of the case getting stuck, it will probably need repair. I find that once these types of buttons 'collapse' inside, there's really no way to fix them other than be replaced.
Did you spill something sugary on it that could just be gummed up inside? If so you may be be able to clean it.

I can't remember spilling sugar on it, but if it was the case, how should I clean it then?
Thanks for your response!

If you don't remember spilling something like juice or Coke on it, the button is probably just broken ;(

Check if the button is damaged or the housing and replace it if one of both is damaged https://www.parts4repair.com/power-button-volume-button-for-motorola-moto-g4/

How to check the housing? I need to open it up?? Thx.

i pulled the "ok" side out and checked the housing from outside but coulnd't find any problem, the holes look the same size to me
but the knobs on the switch looks more or less the same on both sides as well.
any idea??

OK I reversed the button and installed it back and somehow it seems to be OK now. Keep my fingers crossed

Then it seems the keys/ housing are OK if you can't find differences on the pictures.

there must be some problem or else the button will not fall out... however it's working now so i'm leaving it as-is.... if it's just the button then it's a relatively easy fix... however if it's the chassis then it may be too $$$ and troublesome to fix, may as well get a new phone these days... i took a look at mi a2 lite bcs it is andrdoid one... however even it's 2-years old it's more or less the same as g4 plus, except for bigger battery.
thx a lot!

Reversing helps for a month. It will eventually fall off.
I suggest to turn on the option for waking up a device with a volume button or you will have a problem one day.
I bought a new one on replacebase.co.uk
