hey. i used sandpaper on my desire so it turned sliver.
but today i doped it with the changer in and the place where you insert the cable is edit up. my question is if i still have my warranty after i used sandpaper?
thanks in advance!
Unbelievable! never heard anything like this before. you can probably say goodbye to the warranty.I hope you at least happy with the way it looks.

your device is not in warranty...
what where you thinking while using sandpaper?
:S i don't know i was using sandpaper on the pink metal so it turned silver :S
Even if you didn't use the sandpaper, dropping the cellphone on the floor is not covered by warranty. Sandpapering it is just a bonus.
I don't want to be mean or anything, but if it's any consolation,you gave me a good laugh today.
EDIT : And yes, pictures or it DIDN'T happen.

I was thinking the same thing, mines on the right, they must have moved it on newer phones.
Edit: unless its the camera picking up infra red or something from the proximity sensor???

i went to the store i bought it. he said that the problem was my foult so he wont repair it. and he said that the void is broken. don't know why but. so i went home and open my desire, and i took out all the part and the i found out that the place where is broken is the cpu. so i need to buy a new ****ing motherboard thats cost 500$ http://www.htcrepairparts.com/motherboard-for-htc-desire-g7-p-3231.html
so i don't think im going to fix my desire
As you can still access recovery, do you still have a copy of the rom that you flashes on the SDcard? If so, perform a wipe and reflash the rom...
However, if you're still using the stock rom then you have a problem!
You have learned a valuable lesson in why doing a backup before tweaks is important...
I hope you can get it sorted.

i can't ruu flash it, and it have boot loop. and i did do a backup but i can't enter recovery, watch the film i posted
Is your sdcard damaged? Check it in your PC.
If the card is fine maybe the sim and sdcard chip popped out of the motherboard, take a look inside the phone and pop it back in. It is possible for it to come loose when dropped.
Are you using a2sd? Might cause bootloop if sdcard cannot be mounted.

hey guys, the history goes like this... a guy is selling a desire at a really low price, is brand new but when you turn it on it jumps to the fastboot screen right away
sooo my question is... could it be a software issue? or maybe the volume keys are messed up?
here is a picuture of it ---> http://s357.photobucket.com/albums/...ire/?action=view¤t=2010-09-11201019.jpg
i havent tested the phone myself, just seen pictures and talked to the owner....
I have a g1 and i have adb and fastboot working on my laptop so, could i root it from there flash a rom and maybe it will fix that? what do you guys think?? any ideas??
This is purely guesswork, but it could be water damaged.
Warranty? If not then buy yourself a can if campressed air and take the phine apart.. not that hard I did it!

the phone is brand new and it seemw like this guy has a bunch of desires, he says he received this one in a recent batch but this is the only one with a problem... so i dont think it could be water damage, maybe a really hard fall? or shake? cause it look perfect no scratches or scuffs or dents or nothing... weird uh?
I really want to buy it but i dont want to waste my money...
any other ideas? my main question is that if it can be fixed with root and a new rom... maybe?

Just out of curiosity... what was the problem with yours and how did you fixed it?? i think that this one might have the back key stucked cuase thats how you go into the bootloader right?? pressing down power and back??
edit: ok, he sold it to another person... i got a mytouch slide for now... thanks for the help anyways
My g2 has been experiencing screen issues lately. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem, but I'm going to ask around to make sure. It is rooted with Virtuous .0.7.4 running on it.
It just happened overnight where there would be a line of dead pixels at the bottom of the screen and a black bar on the right side. Everything seems to be blurry and choppy, any help? Thanks.
You could try a different ROM like CM and see if it does anything. Not going to do any harm... but I think realistically it's very unlikely to fix anything either.
Very much sounds like a hardware problem. Since the screen isn't physically broken or damaged (right?) this should be a warranty replacement.
Well, I kinda bought this brand new from someone, does this still qualify for a warranty? Thanks.
That's a sticky subject. Is it a G2 or DZ?
If a DZ I would think HTC will honor the warranty, why not?
If it's a G2, HTC might tell you to pound sand as it's a carrier phone.
As far as what TMO will do for you, there's a bunch of variables there... are you a customer? Was the phone bought at full retail or at subsidy? etc...
I'm honestly not sure though.
If you have to deal with TMO, I think your best bet is to go through the person you bought it from, if at all possible.
Please let us know what happens as this is a very interesting question.
It is a G2. Looks like I'll be ebaying this and finding a new one if nothing pops up.

I see replacement screens on the bay for around $70. Sure is cheaper than a new G2. Of course you'd need to be able to put it in yourself. There's a pretty good tear-down guide.
Im having the same issue my screen is becoming unresposive either it wont work or i have to double or triple click on things i used a stock rom and custom and it still has the issue and i got this phone from a friend i called Tmobile about the issue and they r sending a replacement phone with no problem but im thinking is this the only issue with this phone? And will the next one do the same thing

What information did you have to give them? Was his warranty exchange technically under your friend's plan or did they accept you were the new owner and still give you warranty service?
to tell if its G2 check the batt cover and see if it says G2 in big letter if its DZ it says "with htc sense" on the back of the phone
I told them the screen was unresponsive and they go through that whole pull the batt, factory restore blah blah crap of course we all know its not going to work but their so called training and computer tell them it might just work and it will restore my phones screen to full funtion and very useable lol yeah sure it will ...anyways nothing worked as expected so yes they excepted me as the new owner thinking it was mine all along anyways and r now sending me a new one under warranty

Where did you get the phone? Did your phone have root?
Found a cheaper replacement screen from a non -ebay vendor. They also have capacitive touch digitizers too.

Hey guys, I'm super happy right now. Just called T-Mobile, and they are going to ship me a replacement for free. I get to keep the phone until it arrives via UPS, then I'll ship the defective phone back. Super happy, loving T-Mobile right now! Thanks for all the help
Edit: Does anyone know how to restore the phone back? Does flashing the stock rom over take out root? Thanks again.
U have to turn S on flash back to stock rom then turn S back on

No flashing back to stock does not turn back on the same place u got how to root should have the instruction and files to turn S on that what i had to do before sending my phone.back

If its a G2 and you're a current tmobile customer in good standing. Just give em a call and they will give you a free replacement even if you bought the phone from someone else. That's what happened to me and my G2 I traded mine for a nexus one. And within a week my touchscreen was unresponsive. I first called htc and they told me to call tmobile which I did and got my phone replaced for free. Hope this helps.

Yeah, if you actually read my other posts, T-Mobile gave me a replacement also. I have to unroot and restore everything back to normal before I ship it first though. Thanks for your response.
Well I rooted my htc wildfire and overclocked it.
Everything seemed to work fine for a few months
and then...
I got a text message, and I responded to it, but I did also see that my battery was almost empty, then after responding, I putted my phone in my pocket, Then like 15 minutes later, I looked at my phone and it didn't do anything anymore, so I thought, my battery ran out, nothing to worry about then I got home, plugged in my phone... led didn't turn on... phone didn't charge. I was like damn, maybe my battery died? So I went outside to someone who also has a Wildfire and asked if I could try his battery, We switched batteries and my phone still didn't work
Does anyone know how i can fix this? my phone doesn't respond to ANYTHING I've tried
These symptoms are a bad omen.
Does it pick anything up plugging it into a computer?

Maybe it's a hardware issue, something as motherboard or CPU or maybe the connector for the lcd screen has become loose

lol, how can it be bricked if I used the root for a few months and didn't change anything to it for a while?
also @lcd poster
if it was my lcd, my led should still turn on when inserting the phone to a power connection
also I do also think it is something with my mainboard/cpu, i've read on the internet that i'm not the only one with a phone that just doesn't respond to anything anymore (wildfire) even others who hadn't rooted their phone got this issue, although they have garrantuee :s
sorry for my bad english
Anyhow its great u r not bricked bt if u have damaged CPU so do u have warranty/guarantee?

Rooted and overclocked, I don't think my warranty is still valid?
Yes your warranty is void. But, if you were on a Stock / Sense based ROM, you *may* be lucky and the service guys may not notice.

But maybe they won't start repairing it and give me just a new one, (since it's more expensive to repair the phone then to give me a new one i guess) and then they'll won't notice either?
also, if I do bring back my phone and they find out about it, will they charge me for the repairing costs? even if I don't want it to be repaired if it will cost me? (I already bought an iphone now, but sometimes i just want to experiment back with my android xd)
I really can't answer that mate. Policies vary widely across stores and nations. But, don't hold your breath for a new one, I think that case is extremely unlikely. I guess your best bet is to give them the phone, and have them contact yo regarding it's situation, repairs, and costs (if any) after their preliminary inspection / assessment. Only after their assessment, you give the go ahead to repair / replace (If free ).

HTC and Apple don't roll the same way.
Apple's products aren't even worth repairing, thus they don't bother doing that.
it might be an lcd problem this thing also happened to me...
I know quite a few friends of mine who had similar issues with other HTC devices and they just went to the shop and they were given new ones in a short time. usually guys at the customer service are ignorant and don't check for anything, even if in your situation it should be impossbile to know which rom you're mounting.
my advice is go there and have a brand new wildfire, nobody will discover it's without warranty
Mabye its static?
Once my brothers netbook had a static build up causing a problem i dunno if the same rules apply but try: take out battery -> hold power on for around 30secs, If that didnt work try getting into bootloader holding vol down and power on when your phones off
Hope my ideas worked and that your wildfires better
I have same problems
When i trying root my HTC device ... there are something wrong... so it can't boot after rooting.
I think that it was bricked.
How to unbrick HTC Wildfire? Pls, help me resolv this problem

Yes, cpu is on the motherboard. Think its the square black chip. Cant remember exactly what it looks like as it was long time since i took one apart. The sim/sd part clips on to the motherboard from what i remember.

Hello guys.
I have an HTC 10 sharp display, and it's great - no pink tints, etc.
However on grays I can notice what appears to be a lot of tiny smudges etc, resembling someone's fingertips or what not...
It would be amazing if I could dry them/clean them off somehow without sending it for repairs
Anyone ever heard of/seen something like this? Any ideas that might improve/eliminate the problem?
Thanks
Could u post a picture somehow?

The alterations between gray/dark that you see are not camera artifacts. They are the actual smudges...
Yes I can see it now. Unfortunately since those are grease smudges u can't remove them without removing the screen and cleaning it by hand...maybe someone else has a better solution

You reckon that if I sent it to htc they will be able to do so? Or would the entire screen need to be replaced?
