I got my hermes from my friend, (HTC X01HT), she didnt want it because she dropped it and the ringer didnt work. it had only gotten unplugged, so i opened it, plugged it in, and had an awesome phone.
I dont think this is normal, but from the time she gave it to me, the screen made an awful highpitched ringing noise, (very uni-directional, it was weird).
Anyways...
now, the screen is just white. for a little while i could get the screen back, just by opening and closing the slider and hitting the power button a couple times.
Sometimes the today would display, then it would jarble up a little bit then fade to white, but i cant even get it to do that anymore.
Anyone else seen this issue? i'd hate to get rid of a perfectly awesome phone.
Thanks!
(also, if someone could post a picture of the device locked screen, where you have to enter a PIN to use the phone, that would be great, im trying to get into the phone with activesync, but its locked, and i dont know where to push the buttons.)
thanks!

Looks like the screen is unplugged, really. Maybe you need to disassemble further, like http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_hermes/ shows?
keep in mind, it worked fine for almost three weeks before the screen issue started... but i will try that when i get my hands on a small flathead again.
There's a whitescreen & D-Pad failure issue that can be caused by many things, including DROPPING the phone.
I wrote a guide about it which seems to be quite successful for many people.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321163
so after trying a hard-reset, (which somehow displayed on teh screen), and clicking no, i was able to get the screen back... only this time with the moved screen problem, wrapping around at the top about 1mm.... and the buttons didnt work.
i tried your guide, but now im stuck at the white screen again... :/

I don't understand what is wrong with my phone.
When i enable wifi, my phone connects to the network and then the phone turns off. Sometimes it makes it to internet explorer and then it turns off.
I dont understand, calls work, music works, the phone stays on. but when i enable wifi, the phone just shuts off.
what could be the problem.
First I would try different roms (kavana, rose, official, etc) and see if it's a software problem.
If all the different roms has the same problem then it might be your battery. Put the battery on a flat surface and spin it. If it spins then the battery is bad.

way to mock a guy that is having problems...or maybe not mocking but lack of help....I have the same problem with every single rom I have tried...even back to official....wifi "driver is not loaded" i've tried everything....I was putting 6.1 rom on a friends dash, I have it on my shadow and it didn't break my wifi, but I can't get it to work on the dash....i'm glad i switched to the G1....i would imagine I just need to find a regestry string or some cab file to enable the wifi driver...I can't get the wifiinit.exe thing to work...IDK anymore..i wanna give up and give it back to him and be like..hope you didn't like the wifi feature...
If you can connect via wi-fi then it shuts of when open up IE or even just connected via wi-fi the chances are your battery is cuput as the phone will use more mA when using wi-fi.

How am I mocking him? Dash is known for having battery issues that shuts off the phone randomly. Most of the time it's because the battery is dying or bloated. If it's bloated then you'll be able to spin it on a flat surface.
The whole spinning thing now makes sense, it just sound crazy.....sorry about that....I think I need to start a new thread on my problem...I got a new wifiinit.exe and everything and still no wifi...
I didn't even realise different people lol
thats what mine kept doing..it is in fact the battery. when mine first started doing it, i took a volt meter to the battery and got very inconsistent readings. when i replaced that battery and tested the new one, it was very consistent. this happened to me 3 times and i finally threw the excalibur in the crap box and got a new phone.
the problem only happens when a load is put on the phone..such as wifi. it will idle fine, but even still, the battery life will suck and most likely your battery meter on the phone wont be accurate.
could be a memory issue. How much free memory do you have?
guys very sorry if this is in the wrong section
I have a massive problems been reading for days now and i cant seem to sort the problem out, going mad please please i beg you to help me....... ok here goes

Moved to Themes, Applications and Software forum.
Im guessing by screensaver you mean screen turns off/dims?
Which ROM are you using and what screensaver app are you running?

yes i mean the dim/ blank screen
not sure about the rom but the phone is box standard no other apps have been put on it apart from this work application
screen is normally on, dims after few seconds manbe 1 minute, then goes blank (or like a sleep mode) however this sleep mode is where the problems start
thanks guys any help will be appreciated.

huh?? this thread doesnt say "htc touch hd" ?
how bout you provide a VALUABLE reply instead of this nonsense.
anyone got any update on this? i believe tomtom stops working also when this screen saver kicks in please help me out
as it is draining my battery life
How do your messages come through? Are they via sms? If so you can use an app called HD Tweak to wake device on new message. As for TT, perhaos invest in a car charger and then you don't have to worry about the battery.

I know this is not much of a solution but if you go to settings tab -- all settings (bottom left corner) and then in the middle tab (cant remember the name) --- power.
in here, go to the 3rd (last tab) and there you can disable the screen dimming and and sleep mode (first 2 options) by unchecking them
I am also using TomTom in the car at the moment and yes it does drain the battery...i think that asides from getting a car charger (they're cheap - just look for a in-car USB charger and use your USB cable), the best alternative is to let the screen dim, but NOT switch off. So let your screen turn off its backlight, and that should extend your battery life considerably.
Also, maybe try some of the solutions listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483034
(i got that from a forum-wide search)
Good luck
ok guys bit more info
not worried about tomtom working whilst screen off that was just a example i gave, however my chaeffer work software does not ring/alert me when the screen is locked
now the software works via gprs and log's into my office server when they get the booking it gets logged into there system and routinly passed down to the drivers
i have a car charger but the problem is i am not in the car all the time, or near a mains supply only go to the car when booking come through
now is this a programming issue by the company i work for? if so, what could be done to correct this?
i am looking at some after market apps play around with them and see how i get on.
thanks you for all your help so far
A few months ago I dropped my dash and cracked the screen, it still worked, could still dial, could still recieve calls.. just couldent see anything.
I ordered a G1 and in the closed the Dash went.
Well, no I need to add a 2nd line to my account, and I need a 2nd phone.
So I figured I would order a new screen for the dash and just use it. Being prudent I decided to first make sure it still worked, I put it on a charger and the light came on showing it was charging.. ok, good deal..
I let it charge a while, popped in my sim, and powered it on, figured I would make a test call and such.
Well the screen lights up solid white (no suprise.. its broke) and after a few seconds.. the phone just starts beeping the alarm tone.. then it starts beeping it again over top the first.. and again and again untill there is this cacophony of racket, I have to pull the battery to stop it.
it worked fine (aside from the screen) when I "retired" it, but now it just freaks out.
I tried hooking it up to the computer, the light one the phone comes on, but thats it, the PC doesent see the phone.
Obviousley Im rather nervous about the idea of buying a new screen and going through the trouble of installing it on a phone, that best I can tell.. is totally screwed up..
any ideas on what I should do?
P.S. I can post a video of the insanity if that will help.
Have you tried the first natural response when things go wrong "a Hard-Reset" ?
Ok, i tried a hard reset, best I can tell it worked (no visual cues)
it no longer does the funky chicken on start up, but it doesent do anything else either.
I put my sim in it, let it boot up, tried calling it from another line and it just went straight to voicemail.
and if u conect to the pc, anything happen?
2ndly, try removing the battery, put it back then hold camera button and whilst still holdin it press the power button, wait for some 3 seconds then release em and then coonect to pc, check in device manager if anything shows up....
updates......
Check in comm manager if the phone is on or if in flightmode etc.. If not next step is to re-flash stock and see if the problem still persists?
keep in mind the screen is broken, i cant see anything.

lol can't mem reading that but if can get sync then MyMobiler will let you see the screen
try what i said above and lets us know if u see something like windows ce smartphone in device manger
dropped my phone from a decent height, managed to crack the display but not the glass... guess the shock transferred through the case or something i really dont know. also managed to break wifi, whenever i try to tick the tab in settings it just immediately slides back to off as soon as i take my finger off. it was on oreo and i read that oreo might cause wifi problems so i rolled back to marshmallow, but same problem just slightly different presentation (flick tab, sits at on and tries to turn on for 60 seconds, flicks back to off and posts 'error' in the status line) even here on a fresh ruu.exe install, no modifications at all aside from twrp. any idea what might have happened and how to fix it? ill be taking it apart to replace the screen whenever it shows up so id like to know what to possibly be on the lookout for.
note that its not a problem trying to connect to wifi, wifi literally wont turn on.
