I own a xda 2s from O2 england........
I Unlocked it to work on "US" tmobile.......
Anyway........I feel Victim to what kills MOST cell phones......."I had it in my lab while driving & hop out the car not realizing it was still on my lap*
The phone had minor scrapes on it.....nothing major......*but so i thought*
About an hour later ....I felt my phone vibrating....when I took it out the case......the phone was damn near meltin in my hand.....hot like fire........So i took off the battery & waited a few mins for it to cool off.........after that I noticed my battery was @ 30 % mind you I jus took it off the charger & made no calls........any way as the phone cool off the battery level went up a tad..........
I then made another call.......it was fine...but after 5 mins.....it got real hot again........so i took off the battery & left it off till i got home & charged it.....
since that day everytime ah call is made I hear crackleing from the speaker......*but not when I use the blue tooth or ears piece*
Now it seems like the speaker has totally melted so EVERY SOUND from it sounds distorted & low.................My battery life was cut in half if not more.....& from time to time the phone still over heats......
******Is there ANYTHING I can do outside of getting a new one?*****
Please!
Im @ my wits end!
anyone?

How & where.........?
& wouldnt it just happen again?
i dont know where to get it replaced coz im not from your part of the world...
there are o2 service stations all over...and i presume its a hardware problem coz it cant heat up bcoz of a software issue..jsut go get it serviced

So it does sound like it can be fixed?
i guess so..you're lucky it isnt a paperweight already..i suggest you search on the net for 02 service stations there..or just ask ppeople from your part of the world on this forum
If it is getting hot, it sounds like you have a short circuit some where in it, and you are lucky that it is still working. I would avoid using it until you have had it repaired/looked at.

I've been trying to fine out what can be dun other wise......& I'm getting no where.......
Sounds like you've snagged a speaker wire and it's shorting against the case. Are you confident opening it up? I have the speaker assemblies as spare parts and have written a stripdown guide.
If not, send it to ppctechs or similar.

I get the same thing I have 2 different batteries but NOTHING!!
I Read somewhere its my dash!!!! not the battery how long have you had your dash!?
Had the same problem after 7 months and I called Tmobile and they replaced the phone and battery.
mine did the same thing...battery fixed the issue..then after 4 months it started again...if i would do just about anything it would shut off...so i replaced it with a different phone...i couldnt stand that **** anymore...so now the dash will be a dust collector with the other old phones...

i tried everything...as in the previous post, it will idle fine, but as soon as something processor intensive runs, the phone dies...
having to use it while plugged in tends to take the 'mobile' out of mobile phone...to me, the dash became useless.

use omap clock which comes with the kavana/ricky 6.1 rom..in 'my tools" you should see OMAP
Oh great...... Well I just recieved a new battery and it seems to do exactly that, reboots the phone as soon as i try to open or do anything on it... cheap, but my old battery works fine? how does that make sense?
I brought a new battery 1050 mah with a 12 month warranty for $21 now it doesnt shut off any more, but now my problem is active syne because im trying to update/upgrade from wm5 i had it before but i took it off because i thought the kavana 6 was the reason it went black but now i cant even do a new rom ugh!

The REAL Fix
Ok here is the scoop, all the OEM batteries are "expiring" which means you get a new one, it works for a week or a few weeks but it still goes bad and does exactly what the last battery was doing, which is cutout, and your phone goes black and won't come on again in many instances despite a full charge on the battery. Buy a new battery from simplo does not work long either. You will have to get on ebay and get an extended life battery. They make fat ones, and high-capacity ones (thin) ones. They cost more but they are manufactures much later than the original oem and oem-like batteries, except they are not expired. I went through three batteries, went to lots of forums, read lots of stuff and finally found an extended life battery that I could afford IE 12 bucks, some go for as much as 90 bucks but I'm not shelling that much out. Anyways 3 months problem free, and I got this phone cheap because of the battery black-out problem. hehehe That is the real scoop. The phones are still great, just ALL the normal batteries are no good, even the new ones. My battery is 1100mah for your reference a like or greater capacity battery would work great.
new battery then hard reset
Hey guys!
i bought a DHD 1 month ago, i was pretty satisfied with it!
but one day the screen had "layers" of fat on it, so i wanted to clean it..
i used a normal house window cleaner on it.
sprayed it on the screen arround 30 CM away from the screen and i wiped it off
the screen was as good as new!
but one ouhr later i noticed some darker spots on the screen!
i didnt accually care.. i thought it would dry away .. but it didnt (the spots didnt spread either.)
but the next day i was listening to music, then i noticed that the volume keys didnt work (the volum + key is frozen) so the music was always turned on maximum.
so i think the cleansing fluid made my phone wet from inside... is it a way to fix this?
(ive already sendt it in to a workshop they refuse to fix it because its not in the warrnty)
How much had you actually paid for your DHD? And you seriously thought you would save a fortune by NOT buying mobile screen cleanser??? I salute your decision mate

er det ikke murlig å få kjøpt erstatningsdeler? (feks: skjerm OSV...)
There has been talk of putting your phone in a bag of rice to remove the moisture. Another would be using kittly litter but I'd go with the rice idea.

Sorry gotta post in English as it it's the rule. I do not know if you can buy parts of it (which you can i guess). But then the problem would be replacing it. I saw some advertisements about guys who fix mobiles on finn.no back sometime. So you might want to check there.
Btw, it has not passed a year since DHD was released and you say there is no warranty? That surprises me even more. If warranty is void because of the custom ROM, flash the original RUU and send it back in.
The best bet is to dry the phone out as much as possible, as suggested above. I would place it 10-15cm above a radiator, so that it gets plenty of heat, but not too much. Take all the covers off so that the heat can enter as much as possible.
Moisture is the first thing they look for, which obviously voids warranty. I did the above for an iPod that got wet in a downpour and stopped working - and they exchanged it for me . But this was only rainwater.
If the goo from the spray has stuck electronics components together, that will probably invalidate the guarantee - BUT at this point your best bet is to get someone qualified, who can actually clean recondition the phone, even if it costs you money. As it stands, your phone sounds worthless, so if it can be functional again, that is a necessary cost.
Imagine, you may see goo inside the phone that you know that you should remove, but how are you to know if any components are failing and need replacing? A tech service centre does this many times a day.
At least, they should give you an estimate, so you can decide whether to go ahead.
*****************UPDATE****************'
ok.. heres the thing..
sorry for the poor explenation.
i rapped the phone arround a dry towel and sat it uppon a radiator untill it reached arround 60 degrees Celsius.
im now able to turn on the phone, but because of the volume key fail, its only booting on Hboot and nothing else, and im not able to navigate unless i remove the battery cover cearfully and press the volume keys as hard as i can. (it would only mess up the phone over time)
i think (hope) its only a tiny error that can be fixed by replacing the buttons (if its possible
i'm sorry to hear it. it takes time to remove the moist inside the device. maybe you can do your way on drying the phone more frequenly ( make sure the phone is turn off ). i hope your DHD will become normal again.
I get annoying black box warning popup from my network service provider....

I bought a second hand phone and it did turn on however there were a numbers of problems with my phone, it had a power button that didnt work, unresponsive parts on the lcd and a quiet in call speaker.
Your best bet before trying to replace the whole pcb is opening your phone using a teardown guide
http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down
Make sure you read it a couple of times and go through the pics so you know what your dealing with, find the power button, make sure its intact and adjust the ribbon cables.
Otherwise just find a cell phone repairer on a classified ad like criagslist or kijiji.

I hate to say it, but it was second hand for a reason. Ever try switching the battery? How about changing the power supply?

Yes. Start simple. First check your electron hose to make sure you are getting power to the device. Also check the battery as well as the prongs that connect with the battery tabs. If things are good there, then think about tearing into the phone.

This phone was fine for 3 months, i dropped it at a club i went to and water got inside the phone....i took it to 3 repair people and they all said the Main PCB motherboard is damanged (water) soo does anyone have any idea where i can find a motherboard?? i have no problem with costs of replacing it. As long as its not more than the phone itself.

You didn't mention water damage in the OP. You said something was loose. Water damage is completly different.
Try ebay.
Hey i found these 3 ads on ebay...do you guys think that a swap of the motherboards would be fine? heres the ads. I contacted the seller and they said the battery was used and thats it but phone seemes operational....i know its a risk, but is it worth it guys?
..need help on this one.
why swap the motherboards if the new phone is working fine. Just transfer data and you're done surely?

Reason being the other phones have minor problems, like speaker doesnt work, or some of those phones wont pick up signals and i think thats due to a bad radio flash or if i just flash a radio everything should be working fine.
can someone please clarify this? if i buy a phone with a speaker problem and transfer the main PCB board to my old phone...will there still be a speaker problem? or is the speaker a separate unit itself and not related to the pcb board?

one of the phones i am bidding for says it might not be able to guarantee a connection to mobile network (send sms,make calls) could that be a radio flash problem? would i be able to fix that??
another is one of the phones boots on and shuts off, i take it that could be a bad flash or something? its only about $20. just trying to weigh my options cause the new phones are lkike bidding for $350 lol im not that rich yet
I found out that my MOTHERBOARD is fine. There was water damage but not enough to go inside to the main board! My dad tested the battery voltage and found i wasnt getting any voltage.
i went to future shop and found a lady to let me use her battery and sure enough the battery was working and phone powered on!!! so i guess my battery was shot from dropping and popping out of phone while recording a video.

ordered these from ebay....are they any good? they look decent
Those look like the batteries I got. They were about 1/2 of the claimed mah rating. Worst case, they wiill get you running, and that charger is pretty good.

HI.. I have the Tab 3 8" SM-T315
2 weeks ago, it wouldn't charge up all the way, and the battery ran down SUPER fast.. Even when powered off.
It's about 4-5 years old, so I paid for a new battery to be put in.
Guess what?? Same deal.. The thing gets hot in the upper left corner EVEN when powered off.
And the thing is discharging like crazy.
Plus it wont fully charge at all.
I cant get no more that 2hours on the battery after about 2/3'rds charge (that's all she'll take) when on, and when off, the hot corner is still there..
Well maybe not real HOT, but more than warm. ON, Charging, and OFF.. still stays good and warm, on and off the charger.
Can any-1 care to make a few assumptions??
This came on all of a sudden with NO additional apps installed in over 6 months.
F/R, wipes, etc.. Flashed latest rom from Sammobile last week.
Thanks alot to all who reply.
Youtube disassembly videos of it on youtube see what's in that corner. Bluetooth? Wifi? GPS chip? See what's bad. It's most likely a hardware issue. Any drops or water damage?

Thanks for replying, nope no drops, no water damage, no nothing. It's sat for about 3 months with no activity. But did charge up fine. I used it for about 2 weeks then all of a sudden one day I noticed it wouldn't charge up all the way and the corner was hot. Just last night I got it to charge to 90%. Powered it down, and in the morning battery is completely dead. Something is making a discharge even a while it is off. I guess I need to find somebody who can work on it.
Most likely unless you're comfortable with disassembly. Like I said what's bad maybe easily replaceable. I bought a wifi Antenna for my s3 on ebay for like 3 bucks new

Thanks again , nemisans13.!! I think I would like to try this assembly, I would feel comfortable doing that, but I have no way to test for bad components once I get the cover off. I've seen the YouTube videos how to change the battery. I feel confident I can get the cover off and look around. But I wouldn't have any idea on which component is bad. Can you help out on that?
Thanks again
Wish I could. Why I said look up what's in that corner on youtube see if it's replaceable and doesn't need resoldering or anything crazy like that

I dropped my honor 8 pro in water and it was been dead for some time, around 15 days. then one day I tried switching on and the power came on. I could make calls or receive messages but the camera and the fingerprint sensor were not responding. But when the phone goes into display off mode the display doesn't turn on again, unless I restart the phone. But the phone ringed if any call was made ,since the screen didn't display i couldn't receive the call.
So, gave it to a service center where they kept the phone for a month and then when I called them after a month they said the motherboard is dead and it will cost me 20k for a new one. i smell something fishy here. was my motherboard really dead? if so how come i could switch it on and even make calls? and why did they take 1 month to make the diagnosis? and does the honor 8 pro motherboard cost 20k?
please help.
Chances are high in motherboard damaged when drops in water . They will test in various aspects so it may took time nothing is fishy u purchase a new mobile rather giving 20k
Motherboard has all the parts attached one or the another way, they are may be right. Don't waste 20k on dead phone. Go for new one.

I had something similar happen to my phone it got water damage and went in lock mode 20 days later turned back on everything fine but a few days after wifi and booth stopped working in my case I would have to replace the wifi and Bluetooth module on the motherboard which is extremely hard to find for some reason, however, in your case, I think since u sead the phone still works, it just has calls problems u only have to change the communications board which tends to be a lot cheaper then the motherboard in most smartphones hower again this component is really hard to find and therefore can be quite expensive because there is a very low supply compared to the demand which is not huge. however, one thing that u can try which is not guaranteed to work but has a 50%chance is a chemical bath which the will provide in some phone repair centers
