Hey guys
I was wondering if anyone can help me with fixing my touch screen option. It hasnt been working, and No i didnt drop the PDA or anything, my screen is as bright as new, but suddenly sisnce yesterday it stopped working and no soft reset or hard reset can fix this.
My phone is a SX66 of Cingular (AT&T varient)
I have been using this for almost a year without any problems at all.
UPDATE
Amid all the hard resets, all of a sudden. once my touch screen started working. but just after few mins of use it slowly started malfunctioning and finally it stopped totally. Which kinda leads me to believe that there may be a software/firmware glitch !
So I downgraded to my original system and extended roms. hard resetted, but didnt work (since i cant by pass the touch screen alignment tests, im using a remote PC based software to control my PDA as its synced through USB)
Now heres my help query. I observed that doesnt matter what ROMs (system, extended, radio etc) i have upgrade or downgrade my PDA splash screen remained as the one i originally changed to, same goes with the unlocking of my GSM PDA, i never had to use unlocker ever after the 1st time i did it.
Which means. theres a place in the PDA where these information are stored permanently and doesnt get flushed when u flush ROMs. Im guessing what if theres the TOUCHSCREEN initiation file/firmware/software which kicks in everytime when u start the PDA from the same place which doesnt get flushed. And that Touchscreen enable/disable file is either accidentally disabled or corrupt !
Is there any such file of the touch screen initiation ?
Is there any way I can remove any such files from registry, storage and copy back fresh ones ? That way i would sure its a hardware glitch and not a software. Like I said, my gut feeling is there may be a touchscreen initiation file which doesnt get flushed even when ur upgrading or downgrading the ROMs; and that file is either Disabled or Corrupt.
Can any developers help ? Would be kind if you can pass this queries to our very good friends at the xda-developers.
Thanks

Dutch company, very pro and efficient altough tthe best way is to ship the money with the broken pda.
They have any part.
I've tried it 2 weeks ago and I'm very happy with the service.
Go and check the site
Hey Thanks for the link man, unfortunately Im based out of Asia so ya it kinda sucks as theres no repair shop around my area. Closest prolly will be Singapore or Thailand (i hope)
But im still hoping some techy at the xda-developers checks this issue and prolly be able to finally come to conclusion if its a software or a hardware fault.
hello
i've upgraded my tp2 to the official 6.5 yesterday, and i found that when i open the keyboard the phone turns off!!
anyone had similar problem?
No,I have not such kind off problem.
Only thing you can do now is to flash again. Looks like something went wrong by the instalation... Will work for sure.
may i suggest re-flashing the rom or doing a hard reset? This is the first I have heard of such a problem, my one runs just fine.
I have this same problem. I believe that it is a problem with a slider connection being loose or something. I discovered that if I slowly slide my Touch pro 2 open, the phone would not power off or restart.
i had the same problem from time to time with my htc herald. On the TP2 i didn't watch this behaviour. i think it has something to do with a loose connector of the keyboard inside or something else
i did a hard rest but still the same & the problem happens every single time i open the keyboard...
re-flashing at the moment, I'll report back
everything seems fine after flashing another rom
thx all
I have this new T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I currently have the Stock European ROM (6.5) on it. Before that, I was using the TMO 6.5 version. My problem is that the phone randomly freezes/dies/turns itself off while sitting idle. And every time it happens, I either have to soft reset it or take the battery out and put it back in to turn it back on. Simply pressing the power button doesn't do anything. Funny thing is that this phone is a replacement that was sent to me by T-Mobile because my first device was doing the same thing (which I had for about a month). T-Mobile tech support was just as lost as me. Can anyone here help me?
I have the exact same problem! Have you found a solution or at least learned the cause of the problem ?
Phone turns off ramdomly
Hi
I have the same problem the phone is shutting down ramdomly without any warning and i have to use the power button to turn it on again
any solution guys ??
Did you task29 the rhodium before flashing the new rom?
Sometimes flashing the new rom doesn't clear the memory properly leaving traces of old files to foul up the operation. Flashing task29 before flashing a new rom will stop this.
After you flash task29 there will be NO os on the rhodium. You will need to pull the battery, Put it into bootloader and then flash new rom from PC or use sd card method.
Cheers...
I have exactly the same problem, 2-3 times a day, I need to soft reset it. The phone was working well until I moved from 6.1 (original) to 6.5; I believe the new radio has issues. Any recommendation, flashing the radio does not solve the problem.
I used to have 1-3 SODs a day. Now I have only one SOD a month. My solution was to remove compact framework 3.5 and that weathersolution where you can add new cities. By the way; I upgraded to WM 6.5. Before the upgrade I had no SODs.
Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I recently acquired a Touch Pro 2 (RHOD100, original HTC model) and having exact the same issue. There's no saying when it's happening, but always during an action. Had it when pressing the End key after a call, when pulling the Usb cable from the device, and during other things too.
Hardware seems fine, battery is firmly in place and contacts are fine, and clean.
Having factory WM 6.5 Rom on it. And like mentioned before, I also do have Compact Framework 3.5 installed since it's required by some of my software.
Anyone ever found a solution that's confirmed to solve the issue?
I'm sorry for bumping up an old thread but after doing a search this was the first one that was listed which isn't 'That old'. I have just bought one of these phones, brand new, from factory. It comes with windows 6.5 and runs the OS version for the phone is - 5.2.21887 (21887.5.0.86) The phone seems to randomly just shut off without notice and to be able to turn it back on again to use it, I've got to take the battery out and put it back in again, then it will be able to turn back on. When the phone does enter the state of completely turning itself off. I have noticed that my notification LED light does flash green, I don't know why it does this. But if anyone has some help for me to sort this problem out and enable me to use my phone perfectly then that would be great!
Yet again, sorry for bumping up an oldish thread
I tried installing stock roms as well as cooked ones. I hard SPL'ed, installed newer radio to no avail. What can I do? It's too slow to be used properly.
When you install the ROMs, make sure you clear storage before, during, and after. If you do not clear the storage you may not completely flash all the old files, causing issues, lock ups, and slowness. Also, when testing new ROMs I make sure that all the CABs are compatible by taking a day or two before installing another one.
I tried to do what you recommended. Downloaded that task29 utility and wiped the phone's internal memory. Then I found a stock 6.1 rom and installed it. It looked like it was installing fine, but right now it's just stuck on a white screen and has been like this for the past 10 minutes or so. I don't know if it's going to go anywhere with this, or if it's stuck for good.
By the way, does anybody know EXACTLY where I can find a real stock 6.1 distribution? I'm asking because the ones I've been finding are named European and for other phone makes. It seems as if they are linked by other people as being the correct ones, but then when you go to download them, they turn out to be for other phones, or 6.5's instead of 6.1's. I didn't think it was going to be so hard just to find a stock 6.1 rom with which my phone initially came.

Well as long as you mean the US T-Mobile, the stock 6.1 rom is available HERE
I've tried that stock 6.1 from that thread many times, and it doesn't fully install. It goes through the installation, past the green screen with the windows logo, and then gets stuck on a blank white screen. I've tried many times installing it, and it gets hung on the white screen forever. The curious thing is that some other roms install however. One of the newer Energy roms, as well as the Deepshining one installed fine. The only problem is that everything still is extremely slow to respond. Physical buttons pretty much don't do anything at all.
The bottom four buttons don't light up. Pressing the call and end buttons works, but the home and back buttons don't do anything.
Also, pressing the power button doesn't really shut it off either.

Have you tried re-downloading the t-mobile 6.1 ROM? I guarantee you that's the stock ROM, and from a T-mobile 6.1. There's been numerous members that have gotten it to work, so the issue isn't with the ROM itself...
I agree that the issue is probably not the rom, because that stock rom has been used by lots of people. But the fact remains that this stock rom doesn't install on my phone, and certain custom roms do.
My phone is generally fcuked, I don't have insurance, and there's pretty much nothing I could do. There is signs of water damage under the screen, though the touch screen works fine, and the wet seal is pink..
Not trying to troll, just an advice.
I just sold my TP2 and bought an N1.
TP2 is just that - slow and unreliable. After 6 years of WinMo phones, Android feels like waking up from a nightmare. Dump that crap and get a real PDA.

But even the N1 isn't waterproof...so I don't think even that fine piece of hardware would have prevented the issues here
I have an android phone myself, the HTC G1 (Dream). I agree that android, though I can't really see all of it's guts like I can on a winmo phone, is more user friendly and stable. I've owned the G1 since the beginning of android's career, ever since that first Android OS was out. It was quite horrible at that time. It came through quite a bit now, as well in terms of all the different roms available.
I don't want to throw this TP2 away though. At this point I'm thinking of the things that I can do to get anything out of it. Apparently the phone insurance can only be purchased within 14 days of the phone purchase, so I'm late there. I just can't think of anything I can do. I'll know better next time to get insurance right away.
Hi all,
This is The premise:
My note 10.1 has been a good companion for an year and an half now, and i always kept it in good shape.
However, since december the battery just stopped charging as it used to.
To simply put it, it just took a lot to charge (as if the tablet didn't receive enough energy) and the battery drained at insane speed.
Not knowing what to do, and having a void warranty (i know, sucks, but with the vanilla p600 i coulnd't even open the pdfs i use to study, so it was useless to me ) I just had to bring it to a local repairman who is affiliated with samsung. They immediately ruled out the possibility of it being the battery, and they said it was probably something related to the simple connector, that they changed with an original one.
Now the real trouble:
After they gave it back to me, the tablet can't go 5 minutes without the screen flickering like crazy and then rebooting.
I tried different ROMS, thinking it could have been something related to the Ios. CM12, Hyperrom p600, the vanilla Rom that was originally in my tablet and so on.
The big problem is that this unnerving flickering and rebooting is not tied to the ROM, as it happens even when i'm just using TWRP (version 2.6.1.1).
To be more precise: the tablet in recovery mode is fine and nothing happens if i do nothing with it; however the screen starts flickering and the tablet reboots the moment I attempt to flash something, or even everytime I do a factory reset.
Now the situation has worsened: to simply put it, I can't no longer access the tablet with any rom, be it vanilla (touchwiz) or android-stock based.
What could possibly be the reason behind this problem? I guess it has nothing to do with software issues (i have the vanilla 4.4.2 installed right now, but it can't even finish the setup).
Is there any advice you can give me?
To be more precise, the flickering is not like there is some intermitting bright light or anything: it's like the tablet's screen turns off and on very quickly for 30 seconds, and then just reboots.
After a lot of tries, i managed to install the unofficial cm by temasek for note 10.1 2015, but the problem keeps popping up with every rom I tried.
Regarding the kernel I should have the default one, as i don't recall ever changing it or modifying anything about it, but I could check if some kind soul can tell me how.
The problem happens quicker and more frequently when the tablet is put to stress (for example, when i'm flashing something or when a Gapp is updating/intalling).
I thank you in advance

Sounds like a digitizer issue to me. A.K.A. Screen/graphics issue.
LiquidSmooth maintainer for d2usc/vzw & p600
Thank your for your answer:
could you be more precise? Bercause the touch screen and the lcd all look fine, and they are as crisp and reactive as ever.
the thing is that it looks like it goes in idle constantly and very, very quickly turns back on
Update:
so a local technician took a look at it for me and the hardware (lcd digitizer) seems totally fine, so i don't know if that is the problem.
Today somehow worked perfectly fine: no strange flickering, battery charging fine for once...
and then i tried to open the google camera
the camera crashed instantly and the hellish flickering started as it never stopped.
Should i upload a video? I feel like "flickering" is not an appropriate description
