My BA was droppped by my daugther yesterday into a bucket filled of water.
I immediately disambled it and use a hair blower to dry all the parts.
Aftre 1 hour of drying I assembled it back and it worked again (except ofcourse all the data was lost).
Just now the LCD does'nt lit, but I can still see the display. So I disassembled it again to reset the connectors inside but unfortunately it got worst. Now total no display.
I know the unit is still working because I hear the beep when it boots up (just without the display). The beep I hear is the same beep after a hard reset.
Is my LCD deffective? Is it worth to replace it? (Even my BA is more than 3 years in service) Or it is better to have a new one?
Need advise from the experts, thanks.

I feel jipped. Mine doesn't beep.
Now, I'm not what I would consider an expert, but my opinion is:
If you still want an angel, get a new/used one.
From my corner of the world, LCD's run about 2/3's of the price of used angels are going for on ebay.
If I was going to replace mine with another of the same, I'd buy a working SX66, pull the camera from the old one, and use the old one for parts.
Hello , i recently bought the Desire HD, and havent been experiencing any problems with it except of one quite annoying.
When im in a call, either outgoing or incoming, the speaker makes a weird crackling noise.
This happens always, and happens on both the phones speaker, and loud speaker (depending on which is selected during call), and headphones(when connected). Ive searched the forum, and some people have been experiencing a sort of problem, but not on the same device.
any help is very much appreciated thank you
I can verify that I'm experiencing the same with my Desire HD.
We discussed this issue already in the german "Android-Hilfe"-Forum. This buzzing, crackling noise seems to affect a small number of desire HD's. Mine was affected too. All the devices have been changed on warranty with no costs for the customer in germany. No matter from which provider they were bought.
Edit: BTW: Wrong Forum, I think. Could an Admin move this thread please?
Thanks for the quick replies guys, appreciate it
Hi All,
My Desire HD has started doing this today too! Really gutted. What has HTC UK support been like this on it? Replacement or repair, and how quick? I dont want to be without a phone long! Is this a widely recognised problem, apart from this thread I dont see much on it. Im wondering if the buzz comes from a loose LED flash cover vibrating caused by the speaker?
Thanks very much
I have the same and I thought it is the proximity sensor opening and closing.
Are you guys sending it back for replacement or are you going to live with it?
i have the same problem it sounds like the earpice is short circuiting for 1/10 second
i dont know is it a general problem or only limitted to our handsets
and if we update the radio version is it going to disappear or not
any help is appreciated

I sent 2 support cases to HTC at the same time. The one was for tjis issue and the other for something else. The other one was answered next day but for that one, not a word. Does this tell you something?
didnt understand you sir.

I say that: I contacted HTC support in regards to this but haven't received a reply. But, I have received replys for other cases. And this doesn't sound good.
i have the same issue
Issue with noise
I recently replaced my DHD due to a similar issue. I found if my hand palm was making contact at all with the SIM.SD Card cover, ie the antenna I would get an extremely high pitch feedback sound. Also if phone was on charge the crackle sound was audible.
Orange were great and replaced the original handset straight away at no cost but the replacement also appears to have the same issue. For the moment I'm considering contacting HTC direct but i'm not sure as otherwise I love the phone, and truly believe it is the best on the market.
I think the issue might be resolved if i get a outer protective cover so I'm going to try that first, and not use the device while on charge.
Would be good to know if others have had these experiences.

Whatever you decide, contact HTC so that they know and work on the problem. As I said, I contacted them but never received a reply which means that they are aware and have no solution.

That must be a different issue. I hear that noise via BT headset when I don't even touch the phone. I believe it's due to the sound frequency change during a call and the low quality speaker cannot handle. It's like using a high wattage amplifier on a low quality speaker and expect to hear deep bass sound. I guess you all know the result of such sound.
I'm also experiencing this problem. Sent the phone in and got it back but the problem is still there. They changed the motherboard and the loudspeaker but that obviously didn't fix the problem. So now I probably have to send it back again.
i just hope this problem can be fixed with software..
hi all,
in my case occasionally during call's even whit sound volume low a ear the person talking with " extremely high pitch feedback sound".
It's a very good phone but that problem is starting to annoying me.
i allready send a email to htc portugal and their response was to send the equipment to the repair center
in you opion what should i do? send to repair?
Thanks
Have you tried enabling the SRS improvement? It can be done in the music player. It made the crackling sound during calls in my device disappear...

I will try this and post back...
What I'm experiencing, when I'm on hold with my service provider (Vodafone AU) I can hear the normal on hold music then at random intervals just for a half a second or so the music cuts and there's an annoying crackle noise. Sometimes there is no noise for a while then there can all of a sudden there can that crackle noise every few seconds. Like another person has said for me if I change to loudspeaker it still does the crackle noises and turning the volume down doesn't help. I've tried taking my hand off the phone but it still happens. I have noticed a few times the reception bars icon, drop a bar or gain a bar when this noise happens so maybe there's a link?!? By the way I'm running LeeDroid 1.4.1 (wich is based on HTC's 1.72.405.3 ROM). Also I'm running the Jan 17th Radio version: 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M.
Right. This could well sound daft but try it anyway! Someone on another forum said it worked for him (her?) and it worked for me with a Nokia E71. The speaker was 'crackling' so I did the usual googling. The answer was, for me, to suck really hard on the speaker a couple of times. Basically the diaphragm gets put out of place and the 'sucking' gets it back.
Try it and see! Though it won't fix the 'feedback-type' noises I'd guess but I find most of those are specific to a particular call. Either call back, or get them to call you back, and all is well.

Help, my Defy is 8 weeks old and has been back to Motorola's UK repair centre twice, for the same problem. Every time i try to make a call from the keypad or from within the contacts, the phone dials the number and then the screen goes blank and freezes, the buttons are also disabled, it continues the call rendering the touchscreen unusable, if the call is unanswered the phone has to have the battery removed to enable further use. Motorola want me to send the phone back to their repair centre again, but after two hopeless attempts to rectify this i want a new replacement. Am i being unreasonable ?
It's a faulty device.
They should replace it from first time.
Instead they update firmware only.
Go back there and threaten them a bit.

Sure, if they'll give you a new phone. Have you tried a factory reset?
Tried that
Been on the phone numerous times to all sorts at Motorola UK, but they insist on sticking to three attempts to repair it. I should have also added that initially the phones camera had a row of dead pixels top to bottom which looked like every shot had a black felt pen draw a line through it, they replaced the CMOS sensor on it's first visit visit so overall the impression is of a pretty crappy build quality, or rubbish quality control..... Current position is i am waiting a call back from Cust Services after i dug my heels in and demanded a replacement, threatened Trading standards intrvention so we shall await their response.
Anybody have any ideas as to what causes this problem ?
Sounds like an issue with the proximity sensor. It;s supposed to do that when you have it up to your ear, but it sounds like yours is doing it regardless of the phone being close to your ear or not.
New Phone
Thanks for the replies, MOTOROLA UK have now agreed to replace the faulty unit with a new one.......
Hey guys...
So I noticed since day one of getting my kick ass phone that if I had the volume say 75% or higher on the ear piece that I would get what sounded like distortion. I chocked this up to the speaker not being able to handle the volume, and quite frankly neither could I - at least for the people who like to yell into their phone... Anyway, I found today that it seemed to be more pronounced, even at what I would call moderate volume. After messing around a bit - I am fairly convinced that the speaker in the phone is loose! If I tap on the back of the phone right on the camera, I can hear whats sounds and faintly feels like a vibration. So naturally if the speaker is loose and some point it would start to vibrate, which in a sense could sound like distortion.
So... with that said - anyone else notice this with theirs? Normal? I'm thinking not but thought I would ask. If in fact it needs repair, how has one gone about getting theirs fixed? I know it is under warranty since it is maybe 30 days old bought from the Play Store. Will they send a new unit or does it go in for service and I have to find some clunker to use in the mean time?
Thanks - you guys are a great bunch to be a part of
... and gals
Update--
In case this helps someone in the future...
I was 2 days past Google's 14 day return policy
So after 18 days! The problem they found was that my phone would not take a charge? WHAT?
So the status said that they were sending me a replacement. I was concerned that they might send someone's refurbished phone and being that mine was only 16 days old - I would hope that it would be new. So... I called CS and asked if the phone they were send was a refurb or new and he assured me that is was new. I hope.
So, one last question...
Anyone that has gotten a replacement phone lets say within 30days of buying it new... was it a new phone or did they in fact send a refurb?
Looking for feedback from people that have had to mail out their Razer phone for warranty work. How long did it take to get it back?
I'm thinking about mailing mine off vs trying to fix it myself.
The issue I'm having is my speakers are crackling, even post "audio update" that reduced volume by around 30%. I can't get above 3\4 volume without having the speakers start crackling. What's strange is the crackle seems to be worse when orienting the phone to the side vs upright.
Both of them are doing it. Not sure if they are just dirty or they are blown, but when I first got my phone I would play most things at full volume often. I thought about pulling the speaker grills off since I read that sometimes the adheasive loosens and things vibrate but I wasn't sure how I was going to re stick them back down. Can't find replacement grills anywhere. Or replacement speakers for that matter. So I was going to send it in.

11 days round trip to Germany from UK ended up with factory replacement
The first time i sent my phone there it took 4 days to come back but the second time it took around 10 days. I asked why and they said "limited supplies" now i had sent 2 phones and both had speaker problems. The first was a heavily cracking bottom speaker after 3 weeks of use. The second one was both speakers weakening but not cracking and the third one has the same problem which is weird given that they advertized the speakers as good. Hopefully they fix this because i wanna buy razer phone 2
