HI All, have an intersting problem, was surfing the net via wireless when the unit locked up. Soft reset and now all I get is a white screen. The unit seems to hard reset with the startup sound that the unit makes when you first start it up out of the box, but the screen stays white.
Any Ideas? :roll:
mmm.... Hard Reset :twisted:
HI Xeon,
tried that and still comes up with white screen, but does all the correct things re sounds but all you can see is a totally white screen.
You could try leaving it with the battery removed overnight but it sounds like a hardware problem to me, could be the lcd has died or the connection has come adrift for some reason.
I suggest u Upgrade or reinstall the ROM , maybe something happened to one of the files that should not be modified , anyway , u won't lose anything , u already Hard.Rstd .........
i had the same problem before..i did an upgrade that fixed it. but still have a backup even if its a white screen..after i upgraded i had another problem with the Storage Folder missing..and the list goes on..dont wory you'll know what i mean when you get it..
It happened to me the second day I got my O2 XDA IIs. Hard reset didn't seem to do anything... The unit didn't response to a soft reset either... It was just frozen... I removed the battery, boxed it up and was ready to return it. The next day, just before I was about to drop it off, I was curious and did a reset and everything went back to normal... It never happen to me again... Don't know what happened :?
I have the same problem...
The phone shows white screen white it can recieve & make calls, activesync can recognize it.. But the screen still white !!
Any other suggestions for helping solve this problem..
Is this means that the LCD is dead ?? or the problem in its connectors or it's a software prob. ???
Recently I am experience and incredible fact.
The green button to start a call NOW works as CALENDAR shortcut button (yes like the top right button)
The red button to END a call NOW works as CONTACT shortcut button (yes like the top LEFT button)
The 2 Contact and Calendar button (top left and right) DO work correctly.
I supposed some recently installed applications made this mess. Therefore I tried
- soft reset: no way
- hard reset: no way
- I PUT MDA 3 in BootLoader mode and I REINSTALLED MY rom 1.42 WWE
Now what happened is that for 2 days OK, the GREEN and RED button DID work correctly to start and end CALLS.
After 2 days, the strange phenomena appeared again!
Please note that I HAVE NOT INSTALLED ANY ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE!
I am very puzzled.
Please help

Maybe a virus?
Any suggestions for this problem?
I am getting crazy at this behavour...did i get a virus?
Thanks and waiting

I got it to the second time yesterday, but it just went away.
The first time it happened I did a hard reset 2 times and that didn't fix it.
The battery had to die completely
Is it a known issue ofr ROM 1.42?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
did you try to REFLASHING ????
I was actually going to downgrade because the problem never happened in 2003, but my battery was dead when the battery was charged enough to start the buttons worked correctly.....
The second time it happened it just went away after a few hours (I was driving so I couldn't mess with it) when I got home it was back to normal.

Have you recently installed any software, let me know maybe it is related to some software??
Do you know how to UNLOCK the ExtROM and then install 1.42 o
Yes I have installed Windows 2005. Then since very unstable, I downgraded to Win2003, 1.42 (not the original 1.31
Now, in addiiton to his strange fact, (flipping buttons) I experience the flickering of screen, several times a week. A soft reset usually solves this new problem. But then it may reappear.
I installed the following softwares: CE Chinese Input
I thought it was the culprit, therefore i made a HARD RESET.
Then I tried other sfw, also trial Chinese Inputs.
But again this problem reappeared
Now I made a clean HARD RESET and NO sfw.
The problem reappeared.
Conclusion:
I guess something wrong in External ROM.
In fact in Device Information:
ROM version 1.4200 WWE
Radio 1.13.00
ExtRom: NONE
Do you know how to UNLOCK the ExtROM and then install 1.42 on it?
Thanks
Saulo
i have the same problem today. it has happened before. i think it is a glitch in the rom. i have hard reset and it went away before. this time no. i have hard reset and restore my backup and same thing. the culprit could be a bad wisbar install. that is what i think i did wrong, i installed wise bar and did not reset (forgot). then this morning woke up to the send button going to calendar. any suggestions. thanks.

I get a similar thing but my green button opens TomTom navigator
I also upgraded to WM5 and then back down again to the 2003 1.42
Hey.. kan anybody help me?. My P3300 goes black several times a day?? i have flashed it back to its original ROM to check if that would help, but i didn´t.
The phone just goes black and i cant turn it on again without soft-resetting it. Sometimes the screen flicker and some stribes are showing across the screen before it turnes black??
I hope you can help me
Best regards Michael
i had the same problem, i send it to repair by t-mobile and they changed the lcd screen problem fixed
Seems to be a common problem, as I have exactly the same with my P3300. Send and email to the HTC customer support to ask if it could be a software issue (no reply yet) - but now that I read this post I guess I can send my device for repair right away...
I don't think the LCD is to blame for this issue. (why would the phone firmware "crash" - and unable to reboot ? )
@MicTh : those updates you've installed ? were they recent Mobile6 (B&B > 4.1, Vanilla 2.0,.. ?) from this board ?
I've got the same problem, T-Mobile replaced my handset twice (new IMEI) - reason "motherboard replaced" ???
I DO believe that USPL unlock is causing this problem now - too many MDA 3c's failing - while HTC 3000 / Orbits seem to run fine.
No.. I run the original WM6 ROM
No.. I run the original WM6 ROM, and I have also switched back to the one it came with, but i does not help
I'm getting this problem too... screen fades to black, and only way to re-start is to soft-reset. I have had two new motherboards in my original, and now HTC have replaced with a new unit, with factory WM6 and problem is the same. I was wondering if it was anything to do with software, as i do have a number of applications installed - but which one is to blame?
After I removed Spb Time, my P3300 works fine (for a week now)
pnyg
do I have sbp time? (is it "standard" or 3rd party s/w?) if I do, how do I remove it?
no, I've not got spb time, so its not that in my case....
I also experienced this problem when I installed Meschle 3.01 ROM. Cant remember if its vanilla or full version as I installed both.
I am now back to Original WM6 WWE from HTC. No problem at the moment.

I've had at least 3 separate P3300s with this problem. I'm sure its a hardware issue, and I have finally persuaded my supplier to refund 75% of my purchase price, so I can buy something different. I am sure HTC must know this is a problem, but the uk repair centre seem unable to fix it, presumably as its a batch problem, and all the boards they have are faulty.
i have exactly the same problem with my Dopod M70 (Artemis300). Maybe it have some problem in the motherboard design which HTC should let us know
My orbit do the same, when it boot win everythink is working fine. Someone did say: When you apply pressure, it fade to black. I think it maybe have something with the housing design or battery.

I think i solve my own problem, after hours, i found out when we press in the back phone, near the display cable position, the screen become black and hang immediatetly. so i try to open back cover, remove cable and motherboard. Use alcohol to clean the contact display cable then put its together. Tighten motherboard, and wow, my Dopod M700 are back to life again, now how hard i press, everything stay fine. No strange behavitor for 5 days. GREAT!!!
Hope everyone think my experience useful
Sounds great but...
Hey.. sounds great.. but i´m affraid to take mine appart.. i think it is very difficult to take the cover appart without ruin it

No it is easy(much easier than TyTN) to open Orbit/P3300, you have intructions in the wiki. First you check if you have right tools...

I find that if you apply pressure on the outside casing at approximately where the simcard would be it switches itself off....
Yes it's your post. I have same problem. My orbit is working fine all day, but it is on the desk, didn't touch it. I bought P3300 housing, so I will change it, maybe it fix a problem.
hello to all,
I've searched many white screen problem threads, but didn't find any similar.
i am sorry if I missed one.
I am asking you for help.
I have spv m3100(hermes 100)
I bought it used and it had instaled htc europe wm6 rom. after few days I decided to flash black x rc.
before i did this, I made super cid with RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe and than also flash hard spl v7. everything was fine until few days ago when butons stop working. and at the end the green led was blinking all the time and green and red phone light was on all the time as well (also if phone was in flight mode).
I decided to flash official rom and I checked my bootloader it was showing ipl 1.04 and hard spl 2.10.
I flashed WWE 3.54.255.3 with radio 1.48.00.10 and everything went just fine at the end was written congratulation....
it costumized and make one or two soft reset and than I start to instal my favorite programs (few spb, smartmovie, dictionary...).
I do not remember why but after I set regional settings I did not soft reset with stylus but I put out battery when phone was stil on.
after that screen is white all the time. I made many soft resets, hard resets, try to enter bootloader but screen is all the time white.
when i turn it on and it is white I connect it to computer and it connects normal and i can also explore my files, but screen is all the time white.
I left it more than 20min without battery and try again but is stil the same.
after that I keep battery out of phone and leave it sop over the night. in the morning was stil the same.
i do not know what to do.
please help.
thank you and best regards

since you mention a problem with the buttons, it *could* be hardware related. There is a thread up here where those problems (connections usually) are explained.
would you be so kind and tell me which thread you meant.
it seemed nothing wrong is with my phone only colors are missing (everything is white). i think also touchscreen is working. if I turn it off with power button (holding for few seconds), it beeps and you get message if you realy want to turn it off. because I know exactly where yes button is, the phone goes off.
I apreciate every help I can get.
thanks
I had a white screen issue .. do this in this specific order
1) make sure you have olipro latest version (use the search)
if problem persists
2) Use an WM5 rom and see if the white screen is happening
if problem perisists
3) Replace the battery (cheapest option)
if problem perisists
4) Its a hardware fault and you will have to send it off to get fixed or replace the unit .. sorry
alive again
I solved the problem.

Hi everyone I've recently been given a O2 Orbit but when you turn on the phone a white screen comes on and coloured lines come on infront, I was just wondering if any of you fine people would know if it was the screen. Im new to this so any information would be greatfuly recieved.
Thanks for your time
is it the green/blue/red screen?
when in doubt, hard reset it. i think its the two soft keys being held and inserting the stylus into the reset hole
No it was ant the green/blue/red but have sorted it now just did a reinstall of the factory rom and its fine now thanks
