Sorry guys..I think this is my first post here..I tried to make I resarch on my prob but I haven't find nothing similar (correct me if I am wrong..)
By the way I was using Dutty crem de la crem for a month with no prob after that the following issue came up:
Once my phone is on if I keep it pressed the power off button the page with power,lock screen or terminate data options show up but at this point the touch screen is freeze doesn't work...only thing I can do is repressed the power button, switch off the screen and re and press for example the "answering" button and I can unlock the phone (in this case the touch screen is operable)
Same thing if is the phone is in locked and I press the power off button I can not operate the touch screen (and unlock the phone) and again...only thing I can do is repressed the power button, switch off the screen and re and press for example the "answering" button and I can unlock the phone (in this case the touch screen is operable).
I tried the following:
-change the rom to last energy and dutty v11,change couple of time the radio version, format the memory card,operate the phone without sim card and memory card but no change.
Last I installed the original rom from HTC...and still the problem persist...I start to think is something related to the hardware..could be???
Any idea?
Other question why after I installed the original rom I can still see the hspl 2.08 if I switch on the phone keeping the volume down?
Thx guy!

it has to be hardware if the problem occurs with different roms / radios. (a different though similar problem happened with me- eventually it all stopped working.) i would try to return it...
no matter what rom you have you can enter bootloader (like you said with volume down) and see what spl (or hspl) you have. if you flashed the original rom from your pc hspl will still be there; if you flashed from your sd card it is likely back to spl.
cheers.
yep it's a hardware problem. i know because this just happened to me last week, except that the start menu would pop up instead... i did multiple hard resets but nothing. t-mobile said it's a common issue with our phones though your the only other case of this happening that i know of... other than me lol. you'll have to get a new leo
so if I have properly understood your verdict is to flash original rom from the SD and return the phone to HTC get it fixed (it is obviously still under warranty!!),,,right?
How strange.
My HD2 has just started to do the exact same thing. When WinMo boots the screen works fine but when it has been in standby and i press a key to waken it up, the screen does not respond.
I have done a hard reset also and it is still not playing up.
Looks like i'll need to call the insurance company.

yes.
flashing from the sd should get rid of the hspl so all should be back to normal (i would double check though with a quick launch into bootloader...)
good luck!
damn I have the same issue right now. i thought it might have been a bad rom that i flash. i have to reset my phone every time i want to you use it. I cracked my screen so I don't know if that would void any mfg warranty on it.
Sent my handset to HTC on 8th Sept. Got it back on 28th Sept with new screen and new outer case which had a few chps and scratches.
All working fine again. Long time to wait tho. A day off 3 weeks
I am having this exact same problem. I had a feeling it was the hardware after it started doing it in Windows as well as Android. If we didn't purchase the insurance from T-mobile do we send the phone back to HTC via our T-Mobile store. I have had the phone for about 6 months now. Is it a costly fix?

After i upgraded to this radio i have had interesting problems with my phone. ithought it was bricked and it very well could be. But sometimes it decides it wants to work but after a minute or two it cuts off. when a softreset or hard reset are perfromed i get nothing but a white screen. I can tell it goes thru the whole process bekuzz usually after putting it to sleep a few times i get my regular screen but the radio doesnt seem to be connected. any help would be appreciated. also the buttons on the face of the phone dont seem to work.Thanx
What is "Regular Screen"?
Regular screen means the screen u would normally get after your boot and splash screen. Or better said my today screen. Sometimes i cant get my today screen up. i had BL 1.04 before the upgrade if that matters any
Today screen is very good! your device isn't fully bricked. It may be a bad radio flash or it may be a hardware issue that merely coincided with your radio upgrade. Next time you get a today screen, try to flash one of the other sspl based radio only updates (find in wiki under radio only upgrades). Remember to practice safe flashing techniques!
usb on rear usb port. No usb hubs!
all winapps closed
running winXP Pro
activesync connected
screensaver/sleep mode off (flashing takes 20+ minutes)
i have flashed the 1.27 radio again without having my today screen and that did nothing. It went thru the whole process of flashing and everything but same results, just a white screen when booting up and afterwards. im downloading the 1.34 radio now.
You need to flash the sspl version which requires first being on the Today Screen (not white screen). Tri-color boot screen will show v1.09-Des if you do this.
i guess i will have to wait to see if i get another today screen and hope that it doesnt reset itself
does it matter that i can put my phone to sleep and wake it up over and over, i just keep getting the white screen. bekuzz now i cant seem to get my today screen back anymore
ok i have done what u said and flashed the 1.34 radio and still have the same problem. after the flash i had my today screen for a minute then it reset itself and now is gone and back to the white screen. also when i was on the today screen i didnt have control of the buttons only touch screen.
i think i may have a different problem. it doesnt seem to be resetting itself everytime it goes blank but that the screen is dying on me. hmmmmmm....... this is quite strange. i can also recieve calls. i cant answer them but the handset rings.
This may be silly but if I were in your place I'd just reflash everything with an official rom that replaces everything (i.e. SA 1.35) and see if that fixes the problem (though i might wait until somebody who knows more then me verifies this is a good thing to try). I'm wondering if the bad flash somehow effected something in your OS or something.
When I mess something up like this, I like to get back to a place which has been known to work - then I have a better idea of where I am (ie brick or bad flash)
Hope this helps
yea i actually went back to the original cingular ROM that came with the phone. so we shall see what happens from here. i also will have Cingular send me a new phone, i was tired of the scratches anyway. So far they havent noticed that my phones are supercid yet. Keeping my fingers crossed
Hardware problem IMHO...
Sleuth u are right. No matter what i do to the phone it yields the same result. My screen still turns off and the buttons dont work. iwonder what couldve caused this. i didnt drop it. well not recently anyway. BTW.... is there anyway to get the original 1.16 radio back on there. i tried doing it but it just hangs at 0%.
Thanks Sleuth for all your help, you are definetly one of the reasons this forum is helpful. That and that good ole WIKI.
My touch screen isn't working and when i go to align the screen it just repeats the procedure forever. Have hard reset the device and now i can't even get into it because it is still repeating the align procedure.
Any help?
Hello are you sure you're not missunderstanding as I did there.
When you config it you shall click on teh thing thats moving not just on the screen ^^^
I know I have had this phone for 10 months and have aligned it before

hmm okay but when you press teh "thing" does it move as it should ?
Yes it moves then once its been clicked 5 times, it returns back the centre and it all starts again
well i would say your screwed. take it back to where you bought it
I had my touch screen fail after about 8 months with the same symptoms you describe. If your phone if under warranty then send it back.
If you need to run sspl (to remove hardspl your device) you can reassign the camera key as a left soft touch key so that you can run the sspl.
To bypass the welcome screen put a file called "welcome.not" on the root of your sd card.
Thanks, did it get replaced under warrenty?
Had the same Problem with one or two Roms. I flashed a HTC WM6.1 Rom to my Device and since i have never had this Problem again...
my girlfriends heros touch screen has stoped responding for instance if i press menu i can press scenes but while im in scenes and select a new one i cant press done i have to use the scroll ball... anyone had anything like this??
any help greatly appreciated
thanks
It happened to mine, the only thing you can do is send it back. It sucks but the screen is faulty.
Send her round with it........... I'll see if I can help
Seriously though, buggered screen I'm afraid..
Had the same problem. Sent it in for a repair and got it back in 10 days.
I've got the same problem!!! I used to say that it was the best phone I've ever used but my mind is changed! :S
Same problem here. I can type with the top and middle of the screen, but the bottom is less responsive/sometimes non-responsive, and backspace doesn't work. Dave Hagenaars: Did you have to pay for the repair?
Aslong as it's under warranty HTC will repair it for nothing. It seems it's a fairly common fault. It come's back with a sticker asking you not to leave the phone in your pocket whilst sat down. Bless them.

My touchscreen works fine when holding it upright, but when the phone is laying down it gets really unresponsive. Anyone else having this issue?
Since it works sometimes, I'm guessing it must be software issue...
Hey,
Sometimes my HTC Hero acts weird.
Sense starts to jump between 2 screens (as if I'm constantly giving it input) when I'm doing nothing.
Also sometimes a press anywhere on the screen makes the phone think I'm pressing something at the bottom.
And last but not least, sometimes when I try to type something I lose the function of both the bottom left and right part of the screen, meaning I can't use backspace, the L, P, A and other various keys that reside there.
Does anyone also have these problems?
Is this hardware related or can I hope that this problem is solved with the 2.0/2.1 update?
Mine does the same
It happens to me as well, and i bought it abroad so no repair for me
Also - mine does the CRAZIEST thing - i can move the screen without touching it!! This is crazy - i just hover the finger above it and i can move the desktop left to right ("feature" only available when teh screen starts to jerk around)
I have no idea what to do - it drives me crazy - all my presses are wrong, and some dont work at all!!
I have figured a "way" to make it normal for a while, i just press the end key to close the screen and then turn it on again and it kinda, kinda, works again.
anybody there knows whats is the fault? if its software or hardware?, anyway i sent mine for repair and still waiting.
It's a hardware issue, no doubt. I have experienced all the issues described in the last 3-4 posts. Will have to send it in for repair after christmas - but I'll probably have to get back to the original firmware first.

well i took off the screen protector, and still pretty the same issue. anyway but now atleast it's under repair. so waiting for the phone i hope to get it before xmas.
I have a dead spot around the O and L key when typing messages in the landscape position.
Should I back-up my phone and remove all private data when getting it repaired?
had a sticker - same thing
i removed mine as well - and same thing.
talked to HTC - but they dont have a repair place in Israel - so i will have to send it abroad to the UK maybe for repair.
I still dont understand - if this is a hardware issue - how does it fix it for a short while when i press the "end" key, and re-open the phone.
if the hardware was defective it should always happen and wont be "fixed" for a short while.
Same problem, dont believe it is hardware
Got the same problem when i update to another rom LOX or Hikari.
Wiping and going back to Modaco 3.0 and everything is perfect again. Have the feeling that it has also something to do with the radio images
Maybe also something to do in which order the roms and radio's are updated. Still testing but got the same problem. Reverting back to my modaco 3.0 nandroid and everything works again.
For me this is the stable version where the bottom line works:
Firmware: 1.5
Radio: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel:2.6.27-mck-teknologist-1.9

I have a similiar problem on my Hero. Did you find a solution to it?
What's weird is that it isn't constant. It comes and goes.
But when flashing the cya mod with 2.1 my phone was stuck on the enter sim card code screen.. Could not press OK to continue.
Every time I reset or turn on my fone after shutting down, it will stuck at the logo boot up. It wasn't like that when I first bought the fone. Now it's getting worse and worse since the issue happens so frequently.
I have to take out the battery and put it back, then wait for about 3 to 5 mn before I turn the phone on.Then it would boot up as usual.
Is there anyone facing the same issue as I am? Any suggestion guys?
Are you experiencing excessive heat when this occurs? Also, can you give more info such as: does this happen only after recent charging or does it ever happen when the phone has been turned off for a long time? Was there any recent apps you installed or ROM changes when this started happening? Was there any potential damage done to the phone -dropped it, got it wet, or microwaved
When you say frequently, does that mean every time you restart? every other time? every five times?
Lastly, do you have any other issues/symptoms other than freezing at startup? Does the phone ever freeze during normal use?
i'd suggest you do a hard reset of your phone (hold down both vol up and vol down keys while powering on/resetting). that should fix the problem. if the problem still persists, it's probably some hardware faults.
Me too
My HD2 just started doing this too. It was fine for 7 weeks I have owned it. However, as described in this by OP, when doing soft reset would it would also get stuck on bootup logo. I'd have to remove the battery for a few minutes before it would bootup.
However, my HD2 also crashes and upon reboot then get stuck on bootup logo. It appears to crashes randomly eg not with any particular program or action.
I figured it was software issue so did hard reset. This worked fine. After hard reset the only software I loaded were Total Commander and Cookie Editor.
After Cookie Editor install I did soft reset and it got stuck on bootup logo. : (
So I did another hard reset but it hung up again upon reboot on bootup logo.
This appears to be a hardware issue. But has anyone else had same issue?

yes i am experiencing the same problem and i have uploded a video on youtube showing this! Yes my phone heats up when this happens..
Hi. I got this problem for quite sometime and am so used to taking out and putting back and taking out and putting back the batt.
But now I have another prob: my ringtone suddenly went soft and I now have to keep myself alert all the time to see if there's any incoming call or SMS.
I would like to do a hard reset but the question is: will it set my phone back to the stock ROM or still retain the updated version - 1.66.707.1?
Thanks in advance.

HD2 issue
After some more searching it appears this is not uncommon for HD2. Its not clear to me if it is specific to T-Mobile HD2 or HD2 in general.
It appears to be a hardware issue. Although that is not 100% clear either. I find it hard to distinguish what some people report as 'freezing' which i believe is different to the issue described in this post which is 'hanging up' or 'getting stuck' on boot up screen - in my case it is the T-Mobile 'stick together' pink and white screen/logo.
(The 'freezing' issue that i believe is different to this 'getting stuck on bootup logo' issue appeared to have been resolved iwth new T-Mobile ROM - and I never experienced it on my HD2).
The resolution for getting stuck on bootup screen issue described here appears to have been to exchange HD2 (although some people exchanged up to 6 times and keep getting same issue!)
I think it is important to note that my HD2 performed fine for 7 weeks with lots of soft resets, hard resets, and lots of software installs (though no ROM reflashing) but within last week or so, start crashing randomly, then upon reboot get stuck on bootup screen/logo. This also became more frequent as time progressed. After doing hard reboot, the issue is now acute, eg it gets stuck on every reboot, and crashes more often.
This leads me to think some hardware has failed or degraded and is getting worse, maybe a connection/soldering etc?
However, is there any possibility that a ROM could 'degrade'? Can a ROM have a setting that is modifiable? (I know it is 'read only memory' but is it really?)
Anyways, love to hear from others on this issue.
Same problem here. Bought my HD2 in june. Cooked my own rom with Chucky's kitchen. Flashed different radios, hard resets, task 29 etc. Absolutely no problem. Worked fine for several weeks. But sometime it begun to freeze, auto resets, stuck at boot logo. It was getting worse. Even flashing stock rom it hungs at boot logo.
Now my HD2 is out for repair. Now waiting for returning. Hope they will change the motherboard.
several people have had their motherboards replaced and that has seemed to fix it for them. You'll probably have to fight with htc or your carrier, but should be able to get it replaced.
Hi guys. Another question:
I'm considering doing a hard reset. How do I store my messages before doing it? I can't seem to locate the folder that keeps all my messages.
TIA.
HD2 is an odd one
Thanks for replies. I really don't want to send it in .. but it will probably be the only way to resolve the issue. It will cost me courier there and back, and $20 'triage' fee .. total cost to me will be ~$100 just to have them look at it. Price of doing business I guess.
Anyways, I realized that one of my issues was that it was crashing when syncing. A little digging reveals that HTC Sense does something to all contacts when syncing first time putting a bit of html in contact notes field (weird but it is true .. its their way of reminding you bought an HTC phone?) So once I got it up and running, I disabled Sense and syncing went fine, no crashing.
(Btw, Sense also appears to do something with SMS msgs too so if you have lots it crashes on due to this reason too).
However, even with plain Jane MS today screen (eg not using Sense) it still crashed once on sync and again when listening to radio. Both times had to remove battery for few minutes before it would reboot without getting stuck at bootup logo.
But so far it seemed to be working 'better' without using Sense.
So, I re-enabled Sense to see what would happen and over a day it has crashed twice. I am going to see how it behaves for few days before sending it in as RMA repair.
Still, important point is that it was ok for 7 weeks, and then started crashing, more and more, even after hard reset, though some of issues may have been due to Sense (which is reported by many users).
It is still not a 'normal' thing for a $700 consumer device to have such erratic behaviour. So, given others have exchanged crashing handsets for new handset that has no issues points to underlying hardware issues as suggested above eg motherboard.
As comparison I also have HTC Diamond 2 which has been rock solid for 2 years of continuous use even with lots of software install, tweaking, reg hacks, etc.

I don't text a lot so i just hard reset without saving .. but do a quick search on on XDA for SMS backup or PIM backup .. during my searches I am sure i have seen a couple of utilities that do what you want.

Thanks. Btw I read before we can actually 'disable' Sense.
How do we do that?
Sense - go to Today
Go to Start - Settings
- iI you see the black HTC Settings (has 'Personalize' on top of items) then go to Menu and select 'All Settings' (this will show Windows Mobile's Settings. HTC Sense 'Settings' doesn't everything Windows Mobile Settings has or shows it differently)
- Select 'Today'
- Select the 'Items' tab in Today
- Check 'Windows Default' and click OK in top right.
This will 'swap' out HTC Sense 'today' with Windows Mobile standard Today screen and voila you will have 'disabled' HTC Sense and you are back to using Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 version of Sense (not anywhere near as useful or neat-o to look at but hey they are pretty happy with it )

Just by disabling Sense is not going to make it work. I had this problem with my HD2 also and without using Sense it seemed to be working (there were fewer crashes), but only for few days. My HD2 was getting worse day by day - it was not crashing only if it was not touched (it was crashing just cycling between Sense tabs or by initiating a call).
At repair center they told me (after three weeks of waiting) that the motherboard must to be changed.
Is it possible to damage it by flashing custom ROMs?
For me, this problem appeared after just one month of usage. I was flashed some custom ROMs.
Now, I have a new HD2 but I'm affraid to flash a custom ROM (at least in the near future).
I have my HD2 back. Took me 2 weeks, the repair center changed the motherboard and got an new IMEI.
Now all is working, no more stuck at bootlogo.
But i'm on stock rom (1.66) with 2.07 radio. No way to run Android with this radio. Hmm...

I'm afraid as well to flash any custom rom now. For Android i need to HSPL and flash a 2.08 radio or greater to use it. But i'm stick on stock rom for sure.
I want to know as well if it possible to damage it by flashing customs roms ?
As i stated earlier, i flashed plenty of roms, doing task 29 etc., in the end stuck on bootlogo.
Thanks for the feedback on your repairs axman79 and Kalip. Btw, aside from courier cost there and back, did you have to pay the $30 'triage' fee or whatever they call it? Also, did they challenge your observations at all or did they just replace motherboard without question?
Yah, disabling Sense hasn't stopped my HD2 from crashing eith. Without using Sense it crashed several times while using Opera and more than a few times while syncing over the past three days. Also, it still gets stuck on reboot often, requiring battery to be removed for few minutes before rebooting.
So, guess I will send my HD2 in for RMA repair too (and wait for up to 3 weeks) and hope I get a functioning device in return.
Interesting though I didn't flash my HD2 but it went from 'good' to 'bad' in similar way that your two HD2's. From reading other posts around here on XDA and elsewhere it appears that HD2 motherboards fail with surprising frequency and for variety of reasons.
Would be nice to know if HD2 motherboards are unusually delicate and something physically breaks, or if there is some electrical operation, eg charging it on USB or unusual combination of button pushes that shorts something out?
The fact that battery has to be removed for few minutes in order to get thing to reboot hints that something requires charge to dissipate eg a component somehow 'locks up' which causes crash, and needs to be discharged by removing battery?

hey guys. I am so glad I found this post! I have exact same issues ith my HD2, it's driving me nuts.
I kept sort of log and described my problems in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712729
I think I have to send my HD2 for replacement or repair.
Can you please tell me how can I get my phone fixed/replaced?
I got the US T-Mobile version, but I don't have account in T-Mobile. Can I deal directly with HTC? Where do I have to call to get RMA number etc.
I would greatly appreciate your help!

Hi first of all sorry about my English.
Ok my phone has an at&t froyo i just install superuser, slide loading, the weptop hack and the sim unlocked.
I'm using spb 3d launcher and every time i do a restart it seems that the spb it's working on his on, if a let it awake charging some times it's go to some shortcut like if i press it but i didn't (that didn't bother me too much ).
but two days ago one part of the top of the touch screen stop working i can't select the shortcuts on the top of the screen. and yersterday the phone got possessed and start opening thinks randomly. i just uninstall spb and it seems to stop with the gibberish. but today it's the same i can't use phone because i just simple touch the screen and it start again with the gibberish movements.
i'm going to do a restore and i if that fix the gibberish but the part of the screen that doesn't respond is what i worry the most. I'm from Tijuana, Mexico i buy the atrix on craiglist from some guy in san diego, ca. he said that the phone was warranty until feb 2012.
Please help any one
I reset my phone and still the same parts of the screen does not respond and the screen start shaking and doing thing uncontrol.
Please could be sw or is the hardware and i need to change the phone.
Sounds like a hardware problem.
Not sure what the problem could be.....there's a girl I know who's had similar problems, I'll ask her or put you in touch with her. Sounds like yer digitizer?

but two days ago one part of the top of the touch screen stop working i can't select the shortcuts on the top of the screen. and yersterday the phone got possessed and start opening thinks randomly. i just uninstall spb and it seems to stop with the gibberish. but today it's the same i can't use phone because i just simple touch the screen and it start again with the gibberish movements.
i'm going to do a restore and i if that fix the gibberish but the part of the screen that doesn't respond is what i worry the most. I'm from Tijuana, Mexico i buy the atrix on craiglist from some guy in san diego, ca. he said that the phone was warranty until feb 2012.

I am having the same issue, this was on CM7 only flashed yesterday and then I tried to restore my backup rom and this has the same issue??
Hope someone can sort out the problem.
It sounds like a hardware problem in which you should;
A) buy a whole new screen and install it (they will give you the tools to take it apart)
B) Send it back to Motorola if you haven't voided your warranty by unlocking the phone
or
C) this is a long shot as I do think it is hardware related, you should try this fix just to be sure that it is a hardware problem. Mind you this will do nothing more than refresh the .pds file that affects the touchscreen. Touchscreen fix!
definetly sounds like a broken digitizer to me
I have taken my phone in for repair(Not a official MOTO repairer) and I just got a phone call, he believes it is a software issue? I am not convinced, because I have tried 4 different roms? He said he is going to format/wipe phone. I told him I have installed roms to replace software and I thought that this would wipe/replace software problem?
Anyway I guess, I will found out if it sorts out the random screen movement and widget press?

I got the phone back yesterday, all working ok.
I quickly broke it again by trying to install a stock rom and then root it, but it introduced the same random screen/widget issues(I tried wipe/format, but no good?). I then install 2 custom rom, CM7 and Aura and I still had problems, then I install HomeBase and problem has been sorted. Have no idea why it fixed the issue just happy it is fixed. Just to have refrain from installing other roms......for now anyway

I spoke to soon, last night it started the random screen judder and random widget pressing.....
I am not sure what is going on....I've had the phone for about 12 days now(second hand from eBay) and for the first 4-5 days the phone was fine. I then installed CM7 and for about 12-24 hours the phone was ok. Then the random screen/widget issues happened. Did many, many wipe's/formats of various roms and all these issue occurred more or less straight away.
Then I installed HomeBase and for about 6-8 hours, all was ok until lastnight. I guess it is either new motherboard time or new phone time....
