OK I have a T-Mobile Dash with Kavana's WM 6.1 and it *was* working just fine. I flashed the ROM about a week ago, installed SmartToolkit, and it's been running fine for a few days.
Today, out of the friggin blue, I now have a bunch of white lines on my display. They start at the very top of the screen, and fill up a little more than 1/3 of the screen. Each line is 1px thick, and it skips every other line.
I did a screen capture, but it didn't pick the problem up (the captured screen looked great), so I photoshopped the screen shot to show you folks EXACTLY what it looks like on my phone.
This morning, it was fine. I made some calls, sent some emails, and it was working fine. Just about 20 minutes ago, I noticed this problem. I have NOT adjusted any settings, added new software, dropped it, submersed it, or modified it in ANY way. I didn't power cycle it, plug it in, or do anything more than let it sit on my desk next to me.
After I noticed the problem, I reset it, and it was there. I took the battery out, let it sit for a few minutes, rebooted it, and it was still there. The lines DID appear in the windows splash screen as well as the HTC boot logo (the boot logo is not pure white, more like a light grey, so if you angle the phone down a little to darken the grey, you can see the white lines)
These lines appear above ALL screens, including running programs, system menus and messages, and even when shutting down. It does NOT, however, seem to affect the phone's performance, so I can live with it for a few more hours until I see some replies here.
Unless this something that is easily remedied, I figure these should be my next few steps (unless a guru tells me otherwise):
- Soft reset (tried, not solved)
- Soft reset including battery removal (tried, not solved)
- Re-flash ROM with Kavana's 6.1
- Re-flash ROM with T-Mobile factory install (link, anyone?)
- Call T-Mobile for device replacement.
That's my battle plan for now... any thoughts, anyone? Thanks in advance for your help.
Attached picture in my first post updated... I used photoshop to make it look *exactly* like the actual screen. That's the best I could do without actually taking a picture of the phone itself. :\
"Bump" <-- Sorry... don't know if that's against the rules here, but at this point I'm ripping the hair out of my head. Can someone please help?
I had the same problem except it was with i screen I purchased on ebay. It looked exactly the same as yours right after i installed it. It seems the screen was defective. I couldn't fix it so I got the vendor to replace my screen and the new one worked like a charm. So you may, unfortunately need to purchase a new screen.
Like hell I will... the damn thing is less than a month old!!!!!!!! T-Mobile will buy a new screen! LOL
Hey, thanks a lot, I really appreciate that!!
for sure. I wouldn't void my warranty either. Unless someone else has another solution, I would just reflash the t-mobile rom and get replaced. That's a bummer man. Hopefully you get it worked out. Glad I could be of assistance.
Thanks again!
I'm on the phone with TMo right now, and I'm starting to get pissed. I originally signed into t-mo in October last year, so it's been what, 6 months? Since then I've done 3 warranty replacements with the Wing, then they did a "Multiple exchange" to the Dash (which I cant figure out, seeing as the Dash is cheaper) and now this, with a dash less than a month old.
I think I'm going to start a new topic about this so everyone can see what kind of run-around t-mobile is giving me.
Can you say that in plain english now.

I left Sprint for T-mobile in October of 2007 (last year), when I bought the Wing. Since then, I have had to replace it 3 times. Then, on the last warranty replacement (about a month ago) I asked for an alternate model. They sent me the Dash.
Better?

Dude, who put sand in your shorts??? How the HELL do you work out this is ME?? The phone was sitting on a DESK when this happened. It's never been dropped, submersed, abused, struck, anything...
Oh wait, that's right... When I asked T-Mobile about this and they said it's a KNOWN PROBLEM, I suppose that's my fault too, right?? I think you should do a little less talking, because you're a pretty ignorant and useless member that just likes to reply to posts with meaningless, unhelpful, rude messages.
You know, I love the way some people act on this board... (Don't get me wrong, most of you are excellent and helpful, and I'm grateful) But some of you just like to sit here and make absolutely no useful contributions... you just like to chastise people and act all superior without giving any real advice or help.
Ever think maybe people come here for help? If you can't ask for it, or you can't give it, then what are you doing here?
Both of you should mellow out. I adore my dash, but I'm on my third one, (my first refurb) and it has ...issues. My last one died in it's sleep in my pocket. It isn't exactly the toughest phone around, nor the most stable. I suspect the wing is even less reliable, as I researched one at length before choosing dash.
Of course, every time one bites the dust, I think, "is it me?" It isnt that unreasonable for someone else to wonder the same.
Peace love, and good luck with TMo. I've gotten a lot more help from them with sugar than I ever got from Sprint or Verizon with any approach. Don't loose your cool.
Even though I agree with your sentiments, I'm finding it a bit hard to mellow out.
However, I disagree with you on one thing: Yes, I think it really is THAT unreasonable for someone to wonder if the problem is me.. One of the Wings TMobile sent me wouldn't even power on, right out of the box... how the HELL is that my fault, and how the HELL is it natural for someone to think that it is?? What, did I open the box the wrong way, sending a static charge through the foam and frying the circuitry of the phone??
Furthermore, to assume that I'm the problem, when I've shown no signs of incompetence or admittances of dropping, submersions, etc. is not only unethical, it's also pretty insulting.
I know perfectly well how to care for electronic devices, and if I did accidentally drop or submerse a phone, I would be embarassed to try to blame T-Mobile for it.
No, I'm sorry, but it is 100% NOT my fault, and without PROOF it IS unfair and unreasonable for someone on this board to assume so. Certainly if T-Mobile thought it was my fault they wouldn't keep sending me phones, now would they?? No, I'm sorry, but I think people here that are that ignorant are simply posting because they have nothing better to post... and perhaps they just get off on ripping into other people. Perhaps they had their lunch stepped on a few times too many in high school. Maybe they weren't hugged enough. I don't know. All I know is they have no right to make assumptions about me. I didn't do that to them, so they should show me the same respect.
ow my head
This deserves its own thread. For more people to see.
Alright guys, here it is.
I was able to access recovery mode on my bricked phone in a way that all of you may think is stupid.
I have a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. My phone somehow bricked it self a few days ago. I wasnt able to get into recovery mode at all, no matter what I tried, how many times, and I tried every single method with no success.
People on XDA Forums were mentioning about heat somehow allowing you to access the recovery mode. Some said putting it facedown in the sun for a few minutes, some said plugging it in for 15-20 min, some said playing games on the phone to heat it will would also allow them to access the un-accessible recovery mode on their phone.
I tried all of them.
I put my phone in the oven for 5 minutes, twice, last night, did not work.
Ok I thoght to myself. Maybe I need more heat. To get it hot to the touch.
So I tried once again today, and what a shock, I was able to get in recovery mode via the 3 button - WITH BATTERY OUT, HOLD VOL UP + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON, then insert battery, and let go of the power button once your phone turns on.
Took 3 seconds to set everything to restore, in the recovery mode.
And done.
It worked for me.
If you are going to try this, maybe try with a hair blow dryer first.
I dont have one of those, so I couldnt, to be safer.
I will not be held accountable for any damage you do if you leave it in too long or damage your phone in any way.
This worked for me. Im happy I got it working.
The only thing which worries me now........
What if heat or cold can cause your phone to brick itself?
My phone bricked itself out of nowhere, no idea how. And what if it happens again.....

LMAO @ holey s*!t it f**king worked in the video. This is a very good post for people having the no recovery mode issue but I'd probably warn them not to go the idiot thing hand heat the phone up until it melts.

Im so embarrassed people keep commenting about that. I dont know what i was thinking.
I told people to try a hair blow dryer if they have one available. Hopefully people who cant access the recovery screen can do it after trying that out.
It may take 3 tries like me, but damn for sure it worked.
Previously before that I tried 3 button methods for 8 hours in total, never got it once.
I'm wondering HOW the heat gave you acces to the recovery screen

Ummm.... Did you try the pull the battery thing before heating the phone?
If heating actually makes a difference it may be a hardware fault, where a reflow off the board solves bad solder points. Same as with broken ps3s... I.m guessing that as with the ps3, the fix won't last... But in this case it may not be a problem unless you happen to brick the phone again.

None of them worked. Only after the heat trick.

It took me 3 tries in the oven. You might just have to keep trying.
I was going to give up last night, but I said f**k it, going to keep trying and it worked...
Alright so after re-installing most of my apps and games I just did a reboot (3 times), and it will not go into recovery.
After I did the oven trick, it worked right away. So I am 100% positive its heat that somehow allows it to enter recovery.
(I didnt let them take my phone, and they were out of stock, so I kept it to wait for more to be in stock)
When I was at the store a few days ago trying to exchange my phone.
A Bell store manager said that they have some special machine where they plug the phone into and it forces the phone into recovery.
I am guessing its a heating machine, maybe mini oven, in the back of the store.
This must be a Bell Manager's secret or something.
Im happy with my phone now, so its all good.
Congrats.
Nothing has worked for me so far, and according to the chap on the phone at Best Buy, it looks like no stock will be arriving until mid-next week. I'll be dropping by the store for a rain-check, as I'm almost done my 14-day exchange window with no stock in sight.

Man I dont know, but if heat can unbrick my phone, that says something...
If you read in the this entire thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754673
You will then see why I decided to put my phone in the oven.
Some people were saying that heating their phones, would allow it to access the recovery menu.
I just went all out with it.
And it is worrying... But wtf can we do, Samsung has to step up and tell us whats really going on!!!
Well, to add some credibility to this X-Filesy story, do a scan for text strings on your modem.bin file: believe it or nit, there is text mentioning a thermistor check in there (probably related to battery charging I think).
Since a thermistor is a kind of resistor whose resistance varies rapidly and predictably with temperature, and a piece of software specifically checks on its performance, it is not unlikely that the result of this check, depending on temperature, can influence the behaviour of other parts of the system.
In short, IMO, it's quite possible the phone is setup to get into recovery (or debug) mode easier when it is overheating (during charging, extreme CPU or GPU load, or whatever) to make it easier for the techies to find out what the @#$ is going wrong with it.
spbtv a heating machine lol
So i was trying to install a rom onto my phone while i had no visual feedback because for some reason CWM had stopped giving me anything when it was working, just a black screen, so i tried to install another rom and after about 20 minutes nothing happened, so i did a battery pull and now when i try and turn the phone on i'm getting that initial buzz from the vibration, but nothing else happens.
Thanks all.
Hmmm... my computer's picking it up too, and the LED comes on when charging, i just don't know how to proceed, i suspect what i've done is battery pull while it was installing the new rom and made it so i didnt have any rom on there, but the question is, how do i rectify that?
Try holding volume down and power to see if you can get into bootloader/recovery?
Nope, nothing
the main thing is don't freak out, cause even in the worse case, all you have to do is send your phone and US$40 to that famous dude here in the forum who un-bricks anything.
Hm... dunno if im comfortable sending it away, maybe if i can't do anything. Is there no way i could maybe install a rom from ADB or something?
if anything you can get a PC10IMG to the root of your sd card then vol - and power wait like 30 seconds and press vol + wait 3 minutes and press the power button
see if it works
altho its weird that you cant see anything might be a damaged lcd or something
Pretty sure it isn't anything to do with the LCD, it ws fine just moments before this all happened, thanks though, i'll give it a try now.
Sorry, quick question, how do i know if its a stock pc10img? I have S-OFF so i don't wanna be flashing stock ones do i?
search for one in the dev section that stock but rooted im pretty sure ive seen a couple around i just cant remember where
Would any of these Be sufficient?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809&highlight=pc10img
never mind... the phone won't boot up with the volume down and power thing, at least i don't think it does.
no, those are only radios... we need RUUs
also i may rephrase when i said to wait 3 minutes, wait 20 instead RUUs take some time to flash also if your phone does not restart after pressing the power button dont pull the bttery wait some more
Hm... dunno if im comfortable sending it away

the unbrick wizard in Texas I linked you to is named Josh, his username here is connexion2005 - do a search on here
he has like 416 thanks
and he only has like 700 total posts, so he is apparently saving a lot of hard bricked phones!! (have you seen anyone else on XDA with 400+ thanks?)
and if you send the phone Express Mail Service (EMS), our post office here in America is quite reliable, I have never lost an EMS package and I have shipped hundreds of them on ebay over the last 15 years. I would feel comfortable sending my G2 to him, because his reputation is quite good online, and the bad people get slammed pretty fast online!

Ok, in that case, i may give him a go if i find i can't fix it myself.
And, does it matter what RUU i put on my phone? Because mine's an unbranded one from the UK, so say if i put a BellMobile one on there, would it mess things up?
My HOX has been declared DOA (Slight screen flicker) so I am waiting on my new 1 coming then I have to send this one back, sooooo temptation got the better of me and I decided to pop it open for a nosey....
So... does anybody want me to test anything? Seen as it’s a write off anyway?

so long as the battery is unconnected.

vol + and vol- and power and connect usb.
Even if you get to a point where it just isn't causing anything to pop up in device manager then we can at least stop pursuing it and focus on the pogo pins as a way to apx mode.
battery no where in sight or reconnect bat when usb is plugged in etc?
Not might, will. They would be perfectly within their rights to do so, as well. Once you agree a return, it's no longer your property to open, not to mention that there's no way for HTC to know you didn't open the phone before your problem occurred.
You'd better hope they don't notice...

There's no "void" stickers until you start pulling the mainboards out. The only way they would notice is if the phone was somehow damaged in the process.
Re the APX mode - battery needs to be totally disconnected to start. Just try different combos with volume/power buttons and the usb connection. We're all just guessing atm.

Void stickers are not the only way to tell if a phone has been opened. (I know. I used to work for a major consumer / business electronics manufacturer, and one of my duties was inspecting returns and approving or denying warranty and refund claims.)
I wouldn't have taken it apart. There may be a small pin on the motherboard that will identify a case breach and log it. Wouldn't be hard for them to see it. And charge you for the phone.

Yes, let's throw him under the bus. There's every chance that he's not done anything HTC will detect *yet*, but that he will do so in trying to help out. Let's make sure he's aware of the chance that continuing may cost him the entire phone, if he hasn't already done so. Then he can decide if he wants to take that risk.
Or we can just open our own phones... and if we don't want to, why should we not try to help somebody else have a bit of common sense too?

Wrong. It snaps back together just fine, presuming he didn't break anything in opening it. (How do you think HTC puts it together in the first place?)
It's possible he hasn't yet done anything that will land him in hot water with his warranty, and that he will do so if he continues fiddling. It's equally possible he's already shot his warranty. Nobody knows, but if it's the latter he can always tear things back apart and fiddle when he gets his unwarranted phone back from HTC.
I respect the fact the OP wants to help, and the last time i checked that was the ethos of this forum. All i'm seeing is the poor guy being flamed for opening a phone. I'm sure he/she knew the risks. Time being a factor i noted that it was wasted with people assuming control based on previous experience.
"used to work in a *fill in the blanks*" is all very well but wins no respect if it's not followed up with a "so here's how to find out"

don't see the problem, its a hardware defect and it doesn't matter how big the issue is. from a failing volume button to a cosmetic letter falling off. Warranty = warranty and should support any kind of problem.....including a simple letter falling off.

well i don't really agree, its cosmetic and small i agree there. is the phone damaged so it doesn't do its job.....no also not the issue. but a person can expect, seeing the high cost of the device that it would be flawless. of course bad things can happen but getting it fixed under warranty should not be a problem.
in fact when the user wants to re sell the device its worth more with all the letters complete. not talking about the letter itself now exactly but seeing the device in a 100% completeness is much better for the seller in the end, and when he/she can do that under warranty it might help the seller in the end to drag a bit more money out of the deal.
hope i made my point clear in a nice way as intended.
same thing happen to me..
I just pealed off "h" and "t" and cleaned off the glue.. now it looks as slick as ever xD
I decided to just leave it as it is. I can't be bothered with sending it back just for a letter lol. Really the only reason it bothers me is in case I want to sell it, but that won't be for a while yet!
I'll wait and see what happens.
Pick off the other letters, then colour the spaces in with a permanent marker or a little bit of nail polish.. I doubt anyone is going to look close enough to notice (or if they do.. I'm sure 99% of people aren't going to care, as long as you aren't trying to palm it off as being new..)
