Hi there please can you help I have an orbit and where the screen Is not working. Is there any program I can install on my pc where I can see what my Orbit Today Screen looks like whilst connected through active sync
Have a look at Soti, it works quite well, but you will need to install the program on the device which requires pressing the screen at the right point - this might prove tricky if its dead - Mike

I've bought a XDAIIi in Singapore yesterday. It ran perfectly as the first time. After that I hardreseted it. When it came to the second screen which asked to touch the screen to continue the process, cos I'm had something to do so I turn the power off by the power button (without touch the screen).
And now, I press power on again to continue the installation but the device stop in the screen "tap the screen to set up your Pocket PC". The touchscreen is not workable. Can anybody help me to fix this stuff? I also need the Asian ROM to upload to my device, please help me.
Can you not just hard reset it again and do it at the first prompt next time?

Sorry everybody. I've fixed it. The problem is the screen protector which the seller applied in Singapore. I take it out and the screen is "touchable" now...
Hi Guys.
I've had my orbit for about 3 weeks now, and its been perfect. I had a spare 512mb microSD card lying about so I used that, but my 2Gb microSD card came in the post yesterday.
I put the card into the phone, and then plugged the phone into my computer via USB. The screen turned off, and no matter what I did, it wouldn't come back on.
I reset it using the small button on the side (sticking my stylex pen into it) and it restarted itself, showing the splash screen no problem, but as soon as you would expect the Today screen to show, the screen goes off. It get's weirder, because if I hold down the camera button to turn that on, the screen switches itself on, and you can use the camera no problem. If i hit the windows key, the menu appears, but if I try clicking an icon, the screen goes dead again.
Also, sometimes (not always, don't ask why) if I leave it for a couple of minutes, the screen slowly appears, as if the backlight is very very dim. But the second i tap anywhere, or touch a button, it goes off again.
I can still answer calls, and my alarms still go off. The phone seems to work perfectly, but just not the screen. I think that it might be the backlight having been turned so far down its off, but I don't know how I would go about reseting that.
Sorry for the long story, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
have you tried to make a hard reset?
Man I had the exact sane issue. Its to do with the backlight. I had to angle the screen to try and see anything on it, then changed the backlight to full and made sure it didnt switch off after certain time, everything fine since then. dont know how it happened.
exactly like fubofo wrote,try to unplug,screen should be visible again, check backlight prop.-and plug it in.
i have the same problem this appears sometimes.I think this is a damn bug that appears randomized.It happend to me like 6 times.I have the o2 xda orbit with german o2 rom.What's about yours? it dims the light under the normal makeable settings this sucks.And the camera works because the light settings goes automaticly to the highest settings in camera mode.
Hi guys,
I remember having that problem but it was when I tried some programs, including HTC X-button and another called Invisible Shooter. I haven't got any further incident after uninstalling them.
Do you think what you've encountered with may also link to some program you've installed?

Totally confirmed! Had same issue after replacing a touch screen. Thanks, guys, for a clue!
Hi,
my XDA Orbit have the screen off.
I can activesync the PC, and I can flash the engine.
Now I have the original OS from O2 but the screen is off.
I suppose that the screen is not broken because sometimes is on (yesterday the screen show the HTC logo screen) but it doesn´t work.
I can access to bootloader mode too but I can´t see something on the screen, I don´t see the three colors on the screen, it is black and it don´t work.
When I power on the Orbit it syncs with the PC but the screen continues black.
I made soft reset and hard reset but it didn´t make something. I flashed it with others OS but nothing.
I don´t know what can I do.
help me, please
thank you
I had an issue like that waaaay back. Though mine was to do with the baclight settings, I just tried to navigate to backlight settings while out in the sun.
This doesnt seem to be your problem though as you say you have actually managed to flash new ROM to it?
will it be a software or/and a hardware problem?
thanks
Probably hardware as you say you have flashed new ROMs to it and still it shows nothing,
Hi,
The screen of my Desire was broken. It goes on, but the screen stays black with a little green line on top of the screen.
So I thought to check the used LCD and order a new LCD and fix my Desire. I used some tutorials to disassemble the device. After reading the LCD part, I reassemble the phone to check if his working. The screen goes on like before, but the vibration after pushing the power button doesn't work. When I connect the device to my Windows PC the charge led goes on and Windows sees a device. I can't come on the SD card and HTC Sync doesn't see a device. Probably this comes because normal in the interface I must check the UMS option before the SD card comes in Windows.
How can I check my device is working so I can to order a new LCD. I'm afraid to order a new LCD, but the phone is already dead en so the money is wasted.
Kind regard.
are you sure you connect vibration motor correctly, it has two tiny contacts, they neeed to sit properly on motherboard, try to take out bottom part and check it

May be there is another way to connect the device to check it's working properly. The problem with USB is that 'charge only' the default is.
see pictures attached...
did you tick ASK ME in settings/connect to pc?
another way to check UMS- boot to recovery and try it there and you can test keys there but you need to borrow screen again

thanks. I can't see anything wrong with the vibration item. It looks there are no flat cable or contact that got loose.
I was running ICS Aplha / beta custom rom for two days. I think that like all other ROM's the user must tick the USB option to see the SD card device in Windows. At the moment Windows sees an android device, but nothing more that that.
Problem is that the screen is completly black. So thicking USB option or recovery mode is no option, I can't see anything.
it has tiny legs on the back of motor... i stretch them a bit
you can boot into recovery and do it blind but you need to know your recovery layout (some video or screenshot of you recovery will help) to toggle usb storage in recovery
to boot in recovery is easy vol down + power wait about 30 sec vol down then power and wait for recovery to boot, then follow you recovery layout
great, i'm in the recovery and with this image I've set the phone into USB-MS mode
After that I can see the phone and SD content in Windows. Is this enough evidence to get confidence for ordering a new LCD screen?
The vibration device looks ok. I can't see any connector or flat cable that can be get loose.
if usb working and you can live without vibrating phone go ahead... I bought new screen just under £25
Hi People.
My HOX was fell from the car while i was driving...so it fall really hard against the concrete floor.... i stop the car to getting my HOX back and assuming its gonna be broken or something ...but instead it was almost intact ...no broken glass or screen... it only was dirty and just a few scratches ( i use a gel silicone case ...really works)... well now i was able to turn it up and see the real damage . after a few tries it didnt do nothing, just vibrates like when you turn it on , but the screen was black...after more tries... the miracle come true the screen turn on and i was very happy...i unlocked the phone and the screen freeze out ... i restart my hox by pressing power button about ten seconds and after that... the screen stays blank ( black , dead) for ever an ever , but all the other things like the three buttons lights works and the red/green led notification works ...but i was devastated.
The other part of the story is that i was trying to restore all he important file... but the usb option was on "only charge" so wasnt able to get into the folder like windows...after that i think in a way to control the phone with sdk adb an other things... and i try two softwares, moborobo and android screencast.. i was surprised when i connect my HOX to my pc ...and open the software (screencast or moborobo) and again i see the light at the end of the tunnel... i saw my lockscreen in this virtual android controller software , then i slide my finger to unlock my phone ...and surprise ...it still work....as i saw it in this virtual controller on my pc the touch screen works great ...the only thing it doesnt work in my HOX is the screen , and its not broken...
ANY IDEA??? SOFTWARE?...HARDWARE?...SCREEN CRACKED? SCREEN DISCONNECTED?
is there an apk who can check hardware or software and tell you whats wrong on your phone...like a scanner??
the technical services here doest exists for this model yet.... cause the HOX is almost new and not too popular ..
thanks...
sorry about my english.
cheers from Chile
