Hey
After 2 years of using my HTC HD2 I have a problem with ON/OFF key.
It just stop working. I think it's not a key problem, because even if it's not responding if I'm pressing it it's sometimes turn my phone ON or OFF by itself.
I would live with that, letting him to just turn OFF after one minute not using it and turn it ON be pressing any other key but it also drains battery a lot.
Even if I'm not using it (during the night) the battery power in the morning is about 35% (after full charge in the evening).
I thought it might be some OS problem so I have done hard reset and went back to default OS.
This fixed the problem, but after 2 weeks it's back again.
Is there someone out there who had this problem?
Does anyone know any solution?
Thanks

the same here. this is a hardware fault. i have luck. my hd2 is in warranty. hope yours too.

Yeah, it looks like a hardware problem but there is a strange thing. When I take the battery out for an hour or longer and then put it back in, everything works as normal for some time (an hour or so). Isn't it strange?
So now I'm thinking about two solutions.
Disassemble my HD2 and take a look at it from inside
or
just check and install Android on it (maybe its not a hardware issue)
Do you know where can I find assemble instruction for HD2?
I have unscrewed those 4 screws but don't know what next. Cant find any snaps.
I'm not worrying about disassemble it as I have done it with my previous HTC HD and it's very simple, until you know what to do.
Edit: I have found disassembling and assembling instruction video on YouTube.
I put here links to it if someone need it
Disassembling - http://youtu.be/cL-jnUKufC4
Assembling - http://youtu.be/t8Q7mXdcJ54
I think it's time to try to fix it.
Or maybe I should get an insurance first?

I have a T-Mobile Pocket Phone Edition,
It's had a rough life but as kept going for over 3 years now.
For the last year I would have to realign the screen 2 or 3
times a week but over the last few months it keeps getting worse.
Sometimes the screen won't respond to anything anywhere,
then after I tap it a few times boom works fine.
Sometimes I'll tap on the “Ok” and the “Start menu” will activate.
Sometimes drawing a line up the center of the screen will end up
shooting all over the screen.
And sometime it will work perfectly!
I thought the problems were to erratic to be hardware so
I hard set after awhile it started again,
So I hard set and installed a different ROM after a coupe hours
the problem was back.
Also sometimes the align program will get stuck in a
loop that doesn't end.
I've searched but can't find an answer? Anyone have an idea?
I've already taken it a part once but couldn't see how to get
any further after I toke the back panel off? Please help!
WOW nobody? So no one was heard of this problem before?
Can anyone direct me to directions on taking apart the Wallaby?
Thanks <><
It's a problem with touch screen. You should check (and fix) it.
Maybe it is necessary to press well screen to the motherboard. (Sorry my english).
Ok, Can you tell me where that connection is?
Thanks
Toke everything apart, found the connection, cleaned everything (w/ screen wipe)
put it all back together. Still have the touch problem and now the backlight won't work!
I've found if I press the unit in my hand the touch panel works right,
I don't think it's a lose connection to the main board so I think it must be
one on the main board.
If anybody thinks they want it for parts let me know! :?
hi guys,
i'm having this really wierd problem just started couple of hours ago, ok so the problem is that when i reboot my phone and get into windows mobile or android everything works perfectly however as soon as i power off and wake up the phone the touch screen stops responding completely and the only way i see is to hard reset the phone again and i have no idea whats causing it i changed roms , changed radio and yet i still have this problem so someone please help me out, i don't no if the touch screen is messed up or what

so please help out guys
thanks
hm... try hard-reseting the phone. but back up your data first using some backup software like sprite backup
Tried that as well no luck any other suggestion guys

I had the exact same problem, and I had to hard reset everytime, but as soon as I would press the end key it would be unresponsive. What I learned is that right after you hard reset you should only try waking pressing other keys than the end key and let it go to sleep by itself. Also did you use any EVO android builds, or Android at all, not sure if it's relevant, but that's where it all went wrong for me with the EVO build. I do find it quite odd that quite a few people are experiencing the same thing with the touchscreen and it also seems that there really isn't a solution to this. I had to send it in for a repair, and it got fixed pretty quick. Perhaps this needs to be investigated more.
i have same problem with my htc hd2
it is so annoying. i will send to repair service too..
hey i have the same problem too ! did you installed the new c0okies home tab ? because i did and after that it start it messing up.. well i did a thread yesterday about this.. the only responses i got was to send it back to repair. I just did not turn off the screen for nothing today during the whole school day it almost finisihed the whole day, it last it me about 6 hours without turning off the screen, otherwise the touchscreen becomes unresponsive.
Temporary fix/test
I just fixed it temporarily, i fixed it by taking off the battery cover and pressing down on the htc logo (below lcd) and pressure on both the front and back of the phone where the htc logo is.
if you do this and it fixes it, you most likely have a dodgy lcd/digitiser flex ribbon cable.
I know there are hundreds of threads and articles posted about HD2s freezing with the lock screen but this issue seems different to me. My problem is that whenever I lock the phone the touch screen will freeze entirely. I thought a work around may be to install a different lock screen. After installing that I can get past the lock screen but the touch screen still is not responsive. I have no idea what to do. I already did a hard reset and it still does it. I would like to add that it is completely consistent. It happens every time without fail. In order to even use the phone I have to pull the battery and I get one use out of it before it locks and I have to pull the battery again. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it..
Update: I flashed the original ROM to my phone and the freezing problem still exists.. I have no idea what to do at this point.
Update 2: Narrowed down the problem to being the physical "power/end/lock" button. If I slightly press it but not fully it will go to the honeycomb style menu with all the apps. If I press it fully the screen will go out like normal but then if I restore it, the entire screen is locked up. Nothing will work after that until I pull the battery.
I've directly linked the issue with the power button. I dont know why all of a sudden the power button would have a different function. The work around I found is while the phone is locked and the screen is off I can press the green button to unlock the phone and the touch screen will then function. If I use the power button it will remain frozen. Any ideas what happened?
Hello,
I got some bad news for you, this issue is actually related to the digitizer (hardware) not software. What i would recommend is called HTC for a repair and send it in, it is covered by warranty, hopefully you have warranty.
A lot of people are having this issue, no-one yet has been able to pinpoint the cause, but here is the link a thread with similar problem:

Thanks for the reply. I do not think I have a warranty on this phone considering I bought it privately. Ill talk to Tmo and HTC and see what I can do. Just a theory, I may be wrong. But I live in PA and its been getting below 20 here lately. I noticed today that my work around didnt work when I was outside working on my car. Then I went inside and used a blow dryer to heat up the phone and it started working again. The end button didn't function properly but I could unlock the phone with the green send button. Perhaps the cold weather is shorting out people's digitizers? I don't really know how they work so that's why i said its only a theory. I bought this phone in the spring and didnt have an issue until now when it started getting really cold.
MY screen backlight will not turn off. It goes from dim to bright, every few seconds. I cannot get it to turn completely off either, when i hit the endcall key the screen goes black then it comes right back on by itslef. I have no programs running in the background. I have soft reset the phone, even taking the battery out. The screen goes off fine while charging. I have also tried cleanRAM on level 3, with no sucess. I dont have any special ROM, just CHT2 and various mods. Any help please!
I know you probably do not want to hear this, but if you have checked your display settings and the are all good. Then it is probably time for a hard reset.
yea, i was starting to mentally prepare for that now. the problem is seeming to "chill out" alittle. its not doing it as bad as it was yesterday. i thought it fixed itself for awhile today, then it started doing it again. it drains my battery so fast when that happens. its like a pulsing from dim to bright until i push any button or on the screen. thanks for your help. if you think of anything else let me know.

If a hard reset didn't help you, then you have a hardware issue for sure.
i've noticed on mine, if it starts acting up. I put it on the charger for a sec. then it acts normal after i disconnect it. Do you think this could be from water damage? I havent gotten any water on my phone that i know of, though.

Kinda sounds like you may not be getting correct voltage to your screen or out of your battery. I say this cause you mentioned plugging in your charger helps for a little while. Have you had a good look at your battery pins on your HD2?
There is nothing wrong with pins...Today my phone work better....But still sometimes keep screen on...what a mystery...
did a hard reset, nothing changed. called tmobile, got a replacement coming, no charge. guess thats the only way.

You can remove HSPL and revert it back to SPL by using the HSPL utility, remember it asked which version you want to install. Just click on the link in my sig for HSPL. and download it. Then rum the utility and select the correct SPL version for your current ROM.
Or flash the stock ROM for your HD2 via SD card. Go to the link below to learn how.

Hi, first sorry for my english, I hope that it will be clear enough to understand my problem...
My Xperia Ray, updated to ICS, display a black screen (with backlight) when waking up after a stand by. I have to wait for undertermined time to have something on the screen, sometimes I remove the battery and boot the phone to be able to use it.
I updated it to last 4.0.4 ICS thinking it will resolve the issue, but it has not.
I can still use the phone when connected to MyPhone Explorer with the phone keypad, while the mobile's screen is black the MPE windows shows me the "normal" mobile screen. Everythings else works normally.
I'm afraid to give it to customer service, it was a SFR branded phone and I flashed it with a generic firmware.
Locked bootloader, sfr gave me unlock code for sim cards, lost my root with last upadte too.
Any help ?
Did it also occur on Gingerbread firmware?
Didn't try with GB, it happened when on ICS .562, SEUS update to .431 didn't fix the problem.
I have the same problem with my Xperia Ray.
It already happened on GB and now also on ICS.
The screen stays black if you try to wake it up after standby (doesn't matter if power button or home button ).
This happens around 80% of the time.
The only things that help are: Waiting a few minutes, taking out the battery, or hitting the power button like crazy and eventually the screen will show up again after around 10 times on and off.
I brought my phone to the service center of the shop 3 times and every time they tell me they won't repair or switch it because the hardware looked fine in their opinion (they don't switch it on there, the one time I showed them the switched on phone with the error, they told me they could see the problem but as long as nothing inside is broken 'it's not their problem' . I told my lawyer and now he is trying to get me a replace phone.
The problem even comes right after you factory reset so I don't think it's an app.
It happens without the sd card in.
I had an different homescreen launcher installed around the time it first happened, but I removed it and it still happened and I factory reseted and it still happened. So I think it has nothing to do with that?
I tried software repair with the SE Update Service and it told me everything was alright.
Does someone around here have an idea what could be the cause?
I brought it to SFR customer service (here in france) 2 time, the 2 time they just downgrade it to GB, diagnostic was "update problem". They didn't take in consideration what I told them.
One of the shop employee told me that the third time normally they have to replace it by another one. If they don't want to change it I think I'll mess up their shop...
This even happens on Xperia Mini
when ever i try to wake it up by pressing Home button or Power button
it takes about 3-5 seconds to wakeup
it should be instant isn't it?
I also experienced 2 times that even pressing
all the buttons doesn't wakes up the screen
but only back light, then i have to restart the
phone by removing the battery.:crying:
Me too !
I have tha same problem !! I can't take it esay..It's bad thing in my Idea! very disgusting :crying:
I've got the same delays on my Lww, sometimes my phone doesn't wake up at all, and sometimes it takes several seconds. I haven't found any solution for it, but it seems to be a Sony-specific problem.
Sent from my Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I have also the same problem from some days
tried to reset all with flashtool with no luck
the problem is also during kernel loading,tried different kernel,logo and cw doesn't appear 90%times
if someone is able to read in logcat file I have attached one here
thanks for any help
me also
i also have the same problem with my xperia x10
bad news for all of us.....

I turned the sound for messages and phone calls back on. On 'silent' the phone just vibrated.
It hasnt fixed the problem of the black screen completely, but it is happening a lot less for me.
Finally I brought my Xperia Ray to the shop where I got it for the third time.
I bought it 159 Euros in december 2011 (plus Sony gave me 50E back) and they refunded 270 Euro in november 2012 !
Not exactly a refund because I had to choose another mobile, so I took the Xperia T which was 430euro, so I had to pay 160 E for the XT.
Good deal for replacement of a one year old mobile ! Only problem is that I can't unlock the BL.
It is a strange hardware problem since the screen can eventually be turned back on, so maybe it is something in the firmware that is screwed up and doesn't get completely fixed by SUS. If I were you guys I would try this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492805
It may not work, but it is better than throwing your Ray in the trash.
I have the same problem. My phone (xperia ray) after standby or after reboot has black screen with backlight. At first waiting for couple of seconds and trying to wakelock would solve the problem, after few weeks to wake up my phone I needed it to reboot (pulling out the battery). Now I need few reboots to start the device with screen on.
I found workarounds like Llama combined with Nightclock (both from Google Play) for the screen never goes off, but this eats battery and also sometimes the screen would go off. I don't believe its a hardware problem because with this workaround the phone is usable few days (until Llama delay the "events").
Found a way to make a logcat from starting the device. Two are for unsuccessful startups (black screen with backlight) and one for successful (screen on).
I think the problem is in the kernel for not loading drivers, but someone who knows to read logcat will tell us/me for sure. I can't flash new kernel because the phone is with Bootloader locked (Bootloader unlock allowed: NO).
Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf
Stock Rom 4.1.B.0.587
rooted
PS. Sorry for my english its not my native language.
Just to add one or two more informations: even with black screen and backlight the phone is usable, like I can answer on calls, it vibrates when I slide to unlock... I also thought the problem is in proximity sensor, but if it was that case the touchscreen would be locked.
If you fully discharge the battery and after switch on,it start normally?
