Just noticed that my LED flash doesn't work, not on camera or with "torch". First of all I'm using the latest Cyanogenmod 6.0.2 with Launcher Pro Plus, and havent experienced any problems with it. I did however a complete wipe and tried 2 other roms to be sure (tried the HTC Flashlight) but the LED stays dead.
Anyways, I tried the "torch" on Cyanogenmod and obviously it didn't work, BUT a bit later when I unlocked my phone the LED turned on by itself approximately for the time I tried the torch earlier.. sounds weird? for me too, and it did that a second time also. What the f&%k is the problem, hardware issue? Propably or something else? I have no idea what to try
If I wanna get my phone to warranty I'd need to unroot it.. I have HBOOT 0.93 and SLCD screen, didn't find a solution for that combo or does just simply running a official RUU unroot it?

i have no idea about the flash... but for unrooting it, just running a RUU for slcd should unroot it... just try, you won't loose anything, just do a backup (titanium backup) then flash the RUU, the worst that can happen is that it does nothing, and you have to root it again...

Yeah unrooting is a piece of cake, don't wanna do that just yet because the LED is not dead afterall, it just has a life of it's own, it blinks on about every 30 seconds.. lol, is there a way to disable the LED light like removing it's driver or something? This is just such a mindf*&k right now..
Well.. after fighting with trying to get one of my SD cards to work as Goldcard I gave up and wiped and flashed once again, and to my surprise the flash is working again, HTC's Flashlight kinda workd backwards, from brightest, dimmest to medium brightness.. but as for cameras it does seem to work.
If anyone expreiences something similar please do share it, I don't wanna be the only one acting like lunatic with LED problems lol
Hi phiit,
It's not just you, I'm having a very similar issue. Got my phone back from HTC a couple of weeks ago after they manually applied the latest software update to 2.2 - as the OTA update failed and corrupted the radio on my phone (Grrr!).
I have noticed over the past few days the flashlight feature doesn't work, it loads up and you 'click' the button on the display to select one of the light levels, but nothing happens with the camera flash LED at all.
In addition to this the camera flash LED occasionally, and apparently completely randomly, lights up for half a second roughly whilst I am doing something completely unrelated with the phone.
It has happened while I am unplugging it from charge, browsing the internet, playing Angry Birds and using other apps - none of which (as far as I know) go anywhere near the camera.
The camera flash now does not operate when I try to take a picture in low light conditions - regardless of the flash setting on the camera app, I can't make it come on in Google Goggles or Barcode scanner either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, this is a non-rooted, branded T-Mobile handset.
Any ideas anyone? I'm waiting to hear back from htc about it, I'm not looking forward to their answer somehow....
Phone sent off to HTC again on Tuesday, awaiting their response, hopefully it'll be quicker than the three weeks it took last time......
Hi, my Desire HD just automaticly turn on speaker everytime i call someone or recieved a all.
I did some searching and people say turn it off may help. I tried to turn it off (no fast boot) remove the battery, and it still turn on auto speaker
I also realized that sometimes when i turn it on, carpanel automaticly launch. So this might be some problem with carpanel. I turned off the auto option in "dock" section of the setting. Still doesnt change anything
I think the proximity sensor have problems. So i tried some test with it. It's still fine
Can someone help me with this? i even tried hard reseting my phone, it doesnt help
What rom are you using? I had the same problem once, reflashing fixed it.

Well then you could try recalibrating the g-sensor from settings -> display.

You may have flip for speaker switched on. Go to Settings>Sound and then under Incoming Calls uncheck the option for Flip for Speaker.

That was what I was aiming for. The g-sensor thinks the phone is upside down when in fact it isn't, recalibrating should fix this.

Hi all. thanks you so much for the support.
I've tried all the above, like turn off carmode, turn off flip for speaker...etc. take out the battery, sim card, sd card. It's still the same. After some digging, i found a topic about this on the DHD forum. They said it was an USB problem. i tried to plug it in to the USB and wiggle it a little bit and carmode/speaker auto turn on and off time to time. I was about to give up and when i'm on my way to return it. It suddenly come back to normal, no problem, tested with the USB cord. This is so weird !!!!! but i'm glad that it's gone away

My other half had exactly the same thing on her Desire, turns out it was dirt/ fluff in the USB socket!
I have the same problem with my DHD, since I don't have the warranty for my set, is there a way around it. Like some sort of app which turns the speakers off when u make or recieve the call. That can make my life easier.
This problem started with my phone too..I tried all above such as changing rom,usb trick,sim+battery+sd remove,calibrating g-sensor ...Only thing i did not try is changing radio..If it wouldnt help me ,i dont know what to do since i dont have a warranty too..Its really annoying..
DHD speaker selfactivating
Those problems /carmode and speaker selfactivating/ started shortly after OTA 2.3 update.I honestly don't remember how I've managed the carmode issue,but initially I was able to solve the speaker selfactivating by pulling out the headphones' plug during a phone call.That did it for a once or twice,as the result lasted for a day or two.After reading the tricks suggested above I tried them with no success until pulling out the phone end of the usb during a phone call while connected to the pc in debug mode.So far I've made a few calls and it looks OK.
I don't want to scary you, but when I had the same problem I found only one solution which works- restore to factory settings... Its a pity...
Hi ,
I have the same problem on my Desire Z. I have had the phone for more then 6 months.
I was running stock: - no problem !
I was running Virtuous Sense 1.0.1 for about 3 months: - no problem !
Yesterday I got this: it auto turns on the loud speaker when I answer or dial.
Flip for speaker is turned off, G-Sensor is calibrated !
I have updated to Virtuous Sense 1.0.2 : same problem !
I have wiped off everything and flashed Virtuous Unity 1.24.0 : TWICE !
Same problem
Sorry for posting under DHD, I did not want to open a new topic on DZ forum , but I will if I must, this is driving me crazy !
I have solved this after wiping all data and flashing the rom again (3rd try !
I told it, there is only one solution- restoring factory settings...
same problem without OTA
Got the same problem since 2 weeks without having done any changes at all to my DHD (still on 1.72.405.3)
+ Car panel starts randomly when connected to USB for charging
+ Phone speaker always on regardless what I tried before
So, I really do not think this is a rom related issue but more a "aging" problem like the GPS connectivity.
Anybody any idea, why the USB plug should be respobsible for this strange behaviour?
I'm not sure this is a USB related issue. It may be the audio jack. My problems started after unplugging the headphones while listening music, to answer the phone.
same problem here ...
My phone also started having the same problem since today morning!
EDIT: So I tried to remove battery, then cleaned the micro-usb port and the headphone port and the issue seems to have disappeared atleast for now. Don't want to do a factory reset as have too much data and apps on phone.
EDIT 2: So as it turns out it was Go SMS Pro problem that was causing the issue since its update 2 days back. The developer has released a new version in Market now claiming to solve the issue.
Anyways whatever issue it is hope it does not return.
I know most of the Desire users on here have upgraded but i am on a 24 month contact and require some help!!
My phone since new has been excellent apart from the boot loop problem which HTC fixed with a new motherboard, however today it's all gone to ****. Went to use it and switched on 3G while waiting for it i just put it down for a few seconds, went back to it and it had froze buttons didn't work, screen wouldn't move even long back press didn't kill it.
So (this is were i think i might have broke something) i pulled the battery out, popped it back thinking it just need to restart and it wouldn't turn on!!! thinking that the battery might be flat (it was low at the time) i plugged the charger in but it would do anything (No orange light) and quick google and i find a way to get it charging (Without the battery in, plug the charger in which makes the green and orange led flash then insert the battery) this made the orange led stay on and after a few hours the green led came and i thought OK it should work now.... but it doesn't :-(
Anyone got any ideas?
The phone is rooted/s-off and running Oxygen 2.3.1 so without some life in it to put a RUU on i don't really want to send it to HTC.
Thanks for any help you lot can provide.

Hi!
Got the same problem....my Desire won't turn on...
Were you able to fix yours?
I'm on S-Off, too...
THX
Are you able to boot into fastboot / hboot?
I don't know if it is the same problem but the HTC Desire I got can not be turned on for longer than a few seconds after booting into Android (GingerVillain 3.3) (With AC, on battery, USB.. doesn't matter).
The battery indicator is sometimes jumping from 100 to 0 percent and from 0 to 100 percent. Before this the phone had problems with incoming calls not showing up and the other side getting an "calling partner not available".
Aswell the OC/UV Beater daemon was constantly crashing.
Since the phone's recovery menu is still working fine, I tried a full wipe, formating everything, reinstalling the ROM but it didn't help to solve the problem, it just fixed the crashing OC/UV Beater daemon occurring before.
I am rather clueless what to do now. The phone worked fine for many many months with that problem suddenly appearing. It is the phone of my girlfriend, so I cannot tell you exactly what changed in that time. She is claiming that she did not alter anything and with the phone not working after a full wipe, it may be the truth
May the hardware be damaged in some kind? What would be possible steps I could try out next before defining it as scrap metal?
Flash 2.3.3 RUU and if problem persits, call HTC.
Do a full wipe and don't install the rom just leave as is...
I had the same problem... so I tried that and it worked so now I'm using cm7 nightly build #258 for the past 5 months or so and no problems since...

It's usually very difficult to brick a phone. If you can get into your custom recovery then it still works. If not, then get into your hboot and install a custom recovery (if rooted) or RUU rom (if rooted will make it unrooted).
If your phone doesn't turn on, check wires, battery, plug, connector links between battery and phone (clean them). Hopefully you haven't had a sudden power surge which has blown up a component on your desire.

I have been using the HOX for over 2 months now but this morning my phone display suddenly doesn't turn on even the backlight key still on and touchscreen still work ( when I sweep my finger up the unlock sound still play, and I can even adjust the volume of the phone, etc... ) I have no ideas if this is a software or hardware problem and how to solve it, I'm still on Stock Rom, Stock Kernel,... Please help me
try to reboot pressing power button for 10 seconds, if it'll not work, it can be hardware problem, as i understood you haven't unlocked it, so you can send it to htc and they will repair it, or if you can, you can change it by yourself,
have you tried starting in bootloader and factory resetting?

Yeah I tried to reset the phone, ai first it worked. But when I turn the screen off and doesn't use it for a few minutes, the problem is back again, It's really odd, I have heard about lots of HOX Screen problem but I haven't seen this one before
So the screen works in bootloader?

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Really weird, it feels like the phone has woke up but the display still "think" that it still in standby mode
Hardware fault for sure.
Same Problem
Hey, ive been using my international HTC One X for about two months too now and there have been no problems. ever since the update to 4.0.3 ive been facing exactly the same problem. The screen does not turn on a lot of the time but the touch is active. Have you found any solution to it?
It would be great if you could help me out.
Thanks

I have the same problem now. Using it completely stock, the screen doesn't turn on. Well.... Except for the times I visit the Vodafone shop to get it fixed....
Their first reaction was a defect in the screen, so they ordered a new one. I brought it yesterday again and it is now in for repair.
I don't know if this will solve the problem. How did they fix yours?

hey guys
I had this problem a month ago, i know its frustrating.
anyway the only solution is factory rest from boot loader and flash RUU (worked for me)
the first time i had it, i did a factory reset, all my pics music were gone, phone went back to normal( stock, locked)
after a day the problem appeared again, second rest.
flashed RUU and the problem is gone. thanks god i have been using my HOX about a month science that problem and every thing is working great.
im sure its a software issue and I recommend every one to back up their files(pics,music)
just flash RUU and good luck
Lol, exactly the issue I had recently had with mine. Sent it backto htc, let's see what they would do about it.

My colleque has the same issue with his One X.
It started with suddenly everything on his screen looking "zoomed in", so everything double size, looking ugly as a mofo, and not usable. After locking the sceen and unlocking again, it was fine.
Monday suddenly also screen didn't want to turn on anymore. Did the hard reboot for him, and it worked again... Untill he locked his screen and wanted to unlock, same issue.
Also, that time when doing the hard reboot, screen didn't turn on at all. Did another one, and worked again.
He's now sent it in for repair, this definately sounds like ahrdware issue, even full reset through bootloader didn't help.

Yup, exactly the same problem I'm having, I sent it to HTC, they said they fixed it by replacing the motherboard, but now it is happening again, I will have to send to HTC again.
This just happened to my phone... Has anyone else solved it? Is reset and flashing RUU the solution?

I have the same problem right now.
It started last week when I was using Flipboard and suddenly everything started zooming in and stuff (same as mhulsegge above). It was resolved by locking my screen and unlocking it.
Last night, i've been getting the black screen when I try to unlock my phone. The touchscreen still works but the screen is just blank. It turns on if I keep locking and unlocking, but it's getting annoying.
My phone is an international One X (duh) bought in Hong Kong and I'm currently living in Canada so it would not be possible to send it back for repairs. Plus my phone is rooted and I am currently using the latest MIUI ROM (2.9.21). I have been using an app called "Sleep" which tracks your sleeping patterns. It requires you to place your screen face down on your bed when you sleep and the accelerometer will track your sleeping patterns and wake you up at the most optimal time. I assume that for the accelerometer to work the screen has to be on, so I am wondering if this can be a screen malfunction (overheat or overuse) problem since the screen has been on for so long (every night when i sleep for around a month).
Since sending it back is out of the question for me because of where I am living right now and I have voided my warranty, I am downloading other ROMs as we speak and seeing if it is a problem with my ROM. I will keep you guys posted.
-edit- I have tried factory reset and reinstalling my ROM (with a full wipe). Still doesn't work.
It´s probably not your rom since I use CM10 hand have the same problem and others have even been running stock and had this problem. The only one who seems to have solved this (at least in this thread) flashed RUU, so guess I´ll go try that now...
Would be great to hear if anyone else has solved it, and how!
edit: This has to be a hardware problem, if I push on the screen it starts working! Its like something is loose, and when i press on the screen it gets connected again.

Good tip, but I tried a gentle two-fingered push (zoom pinch) and the backlight turned itself on with very little pressure, certainly not enough to flex the screen. I believe that it is a state issue related to zoom, but will try again and report if the issue returns.
Screen black after replacement lcd display unit
Hi,
My HOX touchscreen was broken, the touch and everything was still working. I ordered a replacement lcd display Unit and replaced the complete display and touch. After replacement the screen is completely black but the phone still works. The touch buttons on the bottom still work and i can use the volume buttons. I replaced the lcd display unit very carefully and i am sure nothing is broken etc. So the touch is working but the screen is black. I tried 2 display units and both show me a black screen.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Did i forget to do something during the replacement?
Please, i need some help with this issue.
OneX has too much issue with Screen . WTF with HTC?
Hello Forum,
seems that my DHD has an irreparable error.
But i've still a little hope that maybe someone of you guys out there can point me into the right direction to repair the phone again.
What happened:
on December, 20. for no apparent reason the Display started flickering approximately 2 cm from the top.
The upper Part (the first 2 cm from the top of Display) was showing the normal Picture, on the lower Part the Picture was flickering at irregular time intervals, but the touch gestures were still working without any Problems.
Setup at that Time:
- Latest 4ext Touch Recovery
- Latest MIUI.us Rom by bliind
- Custom DPI set to '190' (with ROM Toolbox)
- Max CPU Speed set to 1200 Mhz (with Set CPU)
(Had this setup working fine without any issues for approx. last 2 Months...)
Last change i did before the error occured: Set Custom Boot Animation with Rom Toolbox
The Flickering started not immediatly after setting the new boot Animation but i think 2 days and some reboots later...
Actions that i've already tried to solve the Problem:
1. Shut down the Phone, pull out the Battery, wait some Minutes, reboot the phone.
-> The flickering was gone and the Display looked normal after reboot.
2. After some time I took the Phone out of my pocket and the flickering was there again like before.
Tried to set DPI back to original value '240'
reboot the Phone
-> The Flickering still was there and it seemed to me that the responsiveness of the touch was slightly slower than normal.
3. Reboot into Recovery
Nandroid Backup all Partitions to SD-Card
wipe all partitions except SD-Card
new, totally clean flash of latest MIUI.us Rom by bliind
Reboot the phone
-> The flickering was gone; responsiveness of the screen normal as it was always before.
4. restore all apps; put the phone on the charger over night. everything worked fine again.
on the next Morning this strange flickering was there again; the Touchscreen was very slow responsive in the flickering area
Managed once more to reboot into recovery, but the flickering was now even in the Recovery and on the boot screen.
-> The Touch got more and more unresponsive.
Could no more start a new ROM flash out of Recovery.
5. Tried to access the phone via aahk tool and restored last stock ROM
-> After Reboot the DHD vibrates (like it usually does for startup)
the screen shows a bunch of black and white Stripes that chnge their Color when the Boot Animation should show up,
and later again when the lockscreen should appear.
It makes the boot jingle and i can send Commands via adb.
but Touch commands doesnt work, (tried to put in the Pin blind, but it shows no reaction)
Stupid, but I can't change it: my Warranty and the extra Insurance that i purchased for the DHD ended just 2 weeks before on 6. December.
6. Disassembled the whole phone with Help of you tube disassembling Guide, carefully cleaned all contacts and assembled it again.
-> nothing changed; same behavior like before disassembling.
What can I do? Any ideas except of small rasping and stirring into the soup? :crying:
Can it be only the display? Maybe the Graphic Chip?
Any other ideas?
thank you for reading this all and i appreciate any suggestion that might give my DHD a new spirit of life
Greetings from Cologne
I know it's not what you want to hear, but that sounds like a graphics or display hardware problem...

Thanks for your reply!
That was the same what I thougt after disassembling and cleaning with no result.
Cause it seems to me that the Display is still working, but the Signal that's coming in is broken.
I alsready supposed that the Graphic engine is broken.
Just had a little Hope that someone might had the same Problem and got it solved,
before I start practice for mobile phone throwing competition...
i suggest another ROM JB used to cause my DHD flickering (earliear versions)
My DHD was with same problem 1 year a go, and that usually happen when i played games like Angrybirds or Asphalt, or when the device temperature was high.
I was worry at that time, thinking that the device was gone.
Take the same solutions that you had (except disassemble the phone) but they're only temporary.
By that time i decide root the device and install a new rom, (nothing to loose had i think) and Revolution HD was my choice.
After that my DHD didn't flick any more.
I didn't ever know what was the origin of that flickering but for me, that was the big solution.
I'm using Viper Venom 1.2.3 for now, and still with no flickering insues.
So, my advice for you is... give a try to other rom's and kernels, maybe you resolve your insue has i did.
Good luck with that.

Thanks for you Answers guys,
the Problem i have is, that my DHD does show only sripes even if I try to boot into Recovery, I can't see anything and am not able to start a flash process...
cause i have installed 4ext touch recovery i need the screen to wipe and flash a new ROM.
But i will try to flash an CWM - Recovery through ADB and then to start the flash Process blind by tapping the buttons...
let's see what will happen. There's nothing to loose...
For now, cause I was sitting without a mobile phone at all, I've ordered a cheep one from Amazon... - Huawei U8510 (Ideos X3) -
And oh WONDER!!!: I've got a fully functioning phone with CyanogenMod 7.2 and all the stuff i use my phone for is working without any Probs..
And the whole thing has 2 years of warranty at a cost of € 80,-
only the Display for my HTC would cost € 40,-
so I'm thinking of selling the broken phone on ebay and let anyone try to repair it who is able to....
but I will give it a try to flash another ROM.
Already downloaded the JellyTime R30...
Hello unbeteiligter,
seems that my DHD has nearly the same issues, but with some extra problems.
It seems to be broken since today morning. I wiped the phone and restored the backup I made the afternoon before, and then the first vertical stripes occured. I wiped it and flashed the same rom (CodefireX 4.2.1) again. Same issues. Now I tryed to flash a GingerBread Strock Rom. Even the same issues, and even more shocking is that this problem also occurs in the bootloader, recovery, splashscreen and bootanimation.
Stupid situation, today my Warranty ended.
What can I do? Previously I tougth this is a software problem, but now I think it might be a hardware issue.
Thanks in advance!

The T-Mobile Customer Support told me, that they would have accepted the case as Warranty, if my DHD had ended up during the first week after End of Warranty. Don't know where you bought yours, but maybe there's a small chance for you to get Warranty Support through their obligingness.
If I were you I would try this...

If your dealer don't accept your Warranty Call, I can't give you much Hope... Sorry for you...
... would imagine you should look for a new phone...
That's what I did....
Similar problem
I have also got a similar problem. Had my phone for two years and have also just hit the same problem. Flashed a new ROM, everything was working fine, then all of a sudden top half of the screen is displayed correctly, the bottom half is always flickering. This occurs in the bootloader as well. Anyone would think that HTC decided to make sure the phone only works for two years and a few weeks after the warranty expires to make sure it experiences problems.
