[Q] [Hardware] LCD Problem, Looking for advise.

Hello just wondering if anyone else his having this problem or heard of anything similar just looking for advise before I approach the phone company.
(Im in the British Military away on OPs atm so need to try and describe the fault, and hopefully get a good will replacement without the U/S phone sending back)
So anyways My LCD when open to a certain degree and sometimes when not open the screen Inverts. It also sometimes Freezes this happened before root as well as after so it isnt a software problem more of a hardware, It happens sometimes fully open sometimes certain degrees open and sometimes totally shut.
However if you move the screen around it will return to its normal condition which leads to me believing its not the LCD screen itself but that little cable that transfers Screen to phone hardware.
Just wondering If anyone can give me a confirmation? and perhaps some technical Jargon so I can pin point it down in my email. Any help is appreciated
Cheers!

If its the cable that is the problem u can just swap it.
The keyboard/housing/ribbons are 59dollar on ebay.

Thats the problem im looking for ideas whether that might be the problem whether anyone has experienced it before. Im really remote in choices of what to do atm due to my circumstances so I was looking for whether anyone might identify this as the same as another fault they have had previously or a "common wear and tear" sort of fault if you know what i mean.
I do appreciate however without eyes on the devise that is very hard to do.

Can you try and open the keyboard halfway then try to touch the cable with somekind of stick? And see if your screen messes up or not?
If it does mess up its possible that ur cable is damaged and causing problems.
Just wondering. Are you running custom rom? I know ur phone is rooted but u didn't say ur running custom rom or not.

[Q] Htc dhd dead?

New to the Desire HD, finally got so p*ssed off with the poor GPS performance on the SGS that I bought a DHD from Fleabay.
Worked fine for a week, genuine seller (checked not blocked etc).
I let the phone run completly flat, now it will not respond to anything. Plug it into the PC and in device manager it shows
QHSUSB_DLOAD with the usual (if no drivers are installed) exclamation mark.
The phone itself doesn't show any sign of life. No LEDs,vibration or sounds. It will not go into recovery mode. It is on Orange (if that makes any difference.
I do have insurance so will send it off if necessary but I wondered if anyone has any ideas?
There seem to be similar posts but only to do with partitioning.

Pull the battery for a minute. Put the battery back in and then put it on the wall charger for a little while. Then try to turn it on again.

Done that, also tried the freezer trick.
Still dead! Checked charger, swapped charger, haven't got a different battery but I can't imagime the battery would die completly, but could be wrong. Won't even switch on with charger connected.
BTW what are the connections for on the battery and bottom covers functions?
I have flashed many different ROMS on the SGS (currently Darkies Exreme edition) is it as easy on the HD?
Many thanks

The connections on the covers are to confirm they are fitted hence the metal to create a circuit I believe.
Yes flashing ROMs on the dhd is very easy. I'm a complete noob and I haven't had any issues so far.

Connections on cover are not for battery. Wifi antenna I believe.

I have read similar since the post; 2G aerial and, as you say, WIFI.
Which is nice to know but the bl**dy thing is still dead!

if i know well QHSUSB_DLOAD is the cpu mode of the phone
if you have insurance go get it done

Spoke to HTC via webchat and they inform me the phone is under warantee until 2013 and they are going to pick it up
BIG BONUS!

That's good news. Once you get the replacement then flashing roms is easy.
A few links are in my sig, which will help to get you up to speed I expect.

Yes it is easy to flash dhd with custom ROM.

WOW.....
4 days from contacting HTC I have a working phone back in my hands.
I can't fault that. NEW MOTHERBOARD FITTED! Came back unbranded, not sure if its locked.
Now for that customization.
Thanks for your help

AND I have now got a custom ROM on it! Yes, I took my time but this is a different DHD, having dropped the last one from a boat!
Don't try it they don't float. Insurance phone turns up unlocked but ORANGE covered with Orange CR*P all over it (software I mean not literally!)
So I used ACE Hack and away I go.............REVOLUTION 7.0.4 HD (3rd ROM so far today!!)
GOTTA LOVE IT! Thanks people.

USB brick on HTC Desire HD the correct thing I'm on about?

I'm looking mainly if someone can point me in the right direction regarding an issue.
My phone I got off a mate doesn't ask me when I plug it in via USB what I want to do. I understand there are settings that I have changed for it to ask me what to do. Charging works fine with phone off and booted.
I have tryed cables that I know are for data as well as power ( checked both computers and with a kindle and gf's cyanagenmod phone both work.)
Some might say my mate tryed to root it. I have asked him and he only did one over the air update. He has no gain from lying as he said he would pay for repair( replace ment of the USB board as I belive the phone has a upper and lower board.) Trying to save money (hes a mate and I'm not going to mess him about.) and a save a repair that might not be needed or even fix the issue.
I have cleaned the port with a small brush and cables have a normal "snug" fit.
Futher to research on forums I think I might have a USB bricked phone. At one point I unmounted my SD card while USB dev mode on and I got " USB not reconized". At this point I unplugged the phone to then install drivers. Drivers did not work. Now you may think broken but my experince says if the connecter was broken that it wouldn't even charge as I belive the outer pins are the power.
When I look up desire hd USB brick online I get only results for desire phones not desire hd. With desire issues seems that the phone needs to be rooted barr one walkthough that's once again geared towards non hd desire.
My points are-
Am I correct to look at this as my phone could be USB bricked or does this issue only affect the desire model of phone. Belive it could be caused by the ota update.
Has anyone else had this issue? If you got the phone fixed did a lower board replacement correct it?
Any links to further reading or solutions would be great help. I feel I'm failing to describe my issue in the correct terms if it is indeed a USB brick.
Cheers for reading this post, 2nd in length only to my life story...

Can you provide more info like what ROM and kernel you're using? Also, do you have a recovery image you could flash?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

My understanding im am using "stock" HTC software on my phone and it never has been rooted or had a custom rom installed (yet - fingers crossed ).
This is from "About Phone" then "Software Infomation" in Settings.
Android Version - 2.2.3
Kernel Version -2.6.35.10-gd2564fb

I also think i dont have a recovery, as when I do a boot holding power and volume down and click recovery its loads for a bit and then shows a phone with a red ! next to it.
Just to learn, I am correct from what I have read that the kernel is just like a modern OS kernel for a laptop/desktop. Its the part that makes the software and hardware talk?

When you got the phone, had the phone gone through a data wipe (factory reset)?
...And you've tried using the USB connection via another computer as well?
...And in the settings, under 'Connect to PC' you have 'Ask' checked?

The phone had a factory reset done via android settings menu and when you hold power and vol down.
Checked settings and it says ask.
No dice on another pc double checked the cable with kindle and data transfer was ok.

I also have the same problem with my desire hd.
Trying different roms didn't seem to fix it.
I'm thinking of sending it for repair.
First i want to flash a stockrom, witch seems quite hard if your USB doesn't work.

Headphone problems on HOX

Hi guys,
Fairly new so take it easy on me.
New owner of the One X and is a worthy upgrade to my excellent Desire HD.
Sorry if this has been asked already but has anyone had any headphone problems. It seems when headphone inserted its just doesn't pick this up and continues to play audio via speaker.
I'm hoping I'm being very dumb and missing something cos I don't want the hassle of returning the phone.
Much appreciated guys.

It seems like your phone doenst recognize your headphones...
I had the same problem when i bought my sgs+
i solved it by trying several headphones and it worked with one i found

Thanks for the response.
I'll give that a good but seems bad that it can't work with any headphones.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

It does seem strange, I have tried 4 sets of headphones with my HOX (I know, I just like headphones) and haven't come across this.
It could just be an issue with the set you have, hope it's not the phone/headphone socket, good luck!

I've only had it for 4 days so if I'm not happy after some tests it's going back to O2 shop. Which I want to avoid as I have just set everything up etc.

Lets take into consideration
he told us that he has a new phone
so i realy cant imagine its the headphone socket in the phone
if its stock it cannot be a soft bug (ofcourse it could but if it would be a soft bug htc would be a poooooooor cellphone manufacture )
So lets look
some phones (dont ask me why) do not recognize cheap headphones
in some way the do but than only one side works propperly or the sound is messed up or something else
I would call the HTC support hotline

IT must be your phone, mine recognises it perfectly.

Ok however this is a problem that cant be redone by anybody else in a propper way
i would suggest to contact your cellphone seller or the htc support hotline

Thanks for the response guys.
I'm going to try a few different headphones tonight and see what happens. Hopefully it's just these headphones it doesn't like.
If not then a return it is.

Let me know how u fixed the issue

definitely try different headphones. My Favourite pair of Sonys dont work in any HTC phone. They are noise cancelling, so they have a 5pin jack, and HTC's simply don't recognise it.
as long as you have a standard 3 or 4 pin pair, it should be ok, but there are some where the pins don't seem to line up just right...

**** thats what i mentioned to be the problem....
i know it sounds a bit stupid but if the sony headset is ur favourite u might search for a adapter or something else

Sounds like a phone fault to me - I've tried loads of headsets and headphones, all have worked in terms of sound coming out (mic and buttons working is a different story).
Did your HOX come with HTC headphones - I thought they were included as standard, (although they are tinny/cheap) if it doesn't work with them then there is a problem.
If all else fails take the phone and the headphones to the shop and get them to see for themselves.
Good luck.

Ok i dont have this phone and i dont know anybody by the moment who hast this phone
Ask other people u know owning the same phone like u if the may let u test the headset that works for them

To be honest today was the first time I tried some headphones while at work. And they were my old desire HD headphones I had in my draw.
So once I get home I shall try the new HTC ones as well as others I have.
And if not then I will indeed be returning to the shop. I'll let you guys know. Thanks again.

And I know totally off subject but any advice on battery calibration etc. Or maybe link to relevant thread as I can't seem to find one. Or one that makes sense to a novice like me.

Right guys I have good news. Its seems the One X just didn't like my old HTC headphones. All others I have tried have worked. So panic over.
It most be as mentioned earlier about the pins.

The battery does not need "calibrating".
Android calibrates its battery meter against the battery when the battery is fully charged. This means that the battery meter will show reasonable values for the remaining battery life.
That is a fact, regardless of what other people may say, think or do.

When you plug the phone into the computer, there should be a notification in the bar at the top for USB connectivity. Have you checked that?
