try cleaning the headset hole with a little alcohol (the higher grade of concentration, the better ... ). Use a small cleaning stick (like the ones used for cleaning the ears). Of course you will have to remove the battery first and let the alcohol to evaporate after.
I hope this helps. It's the only thing that came into my mind since I suspect it is a hardware issue.
Cheers
In the morning all of the sudden stoped flashing..weird anyway thx for the suggestion

hi..
i am experiencing problems with my desire hd.
every 3-5 minutes the car mode app starts for no reason and my gps starts receiving draining my battery. another strange thing is whenever i call someone it always starts the call in speaker mode...
i tried even deleting car mode app from titanium backup but stil it manages to start.-.-.
i also tried flashing cyanogen and every other rom with the same result.
any help?
thnx in advance..
its your micro usb port on the phone. Try cleaning it out with a pin or tiny screw driver. I was shocked at how much lint i pulled out of mine after a couple months of dealing with that same problem. Hasn't been an issue since.

I used a small flat head screw driver and dug out a bunch of pocket lint. As long as you don't bend the contacts you'll be fine. Just gently scrape around the contact, not the contact itself. I think the lint + charger causes the contact to be bent either up or down a bit tricking the phone into car dock mode.

I delt with the same issue for a long time. I agree that cleaning should help.
Umm my dumba** frnd was playing around because i didnt wana give him his phone he grabed mine and threatened to get it wet so he got the bottom nd i have a really think vase nd well the area of the home button and the microphone where on the water but a lil bit of water got into the home buttom but its workin normal no issues or anything lik that but the microphone seems to be dead.. but if i put it on speaker the other person can hear me perfectly so could it be the microphone or the rom im using?? I know that the answer is obvious but you never know and if it was the water.. could it work again or im going to have to send it back to get it fixed???

You can try turning off noise reduction. Open dialer, in call settings > additional settings.
Noise reduction uses two mics so maybe if one is still good you can use it that way.
If not then i just hope you had the protection plan for it.
Good luck!

That is one of the longest sentences I've seen and you and your friend are retarded.
I'd throw it in some rice overnight to get any moisture out. This one time I got water in my ear and had to shake my head for three days before it all came out and my hearing was normal.
I'm on 4.2.1 with the Paranoid Android Rom (version 3.0).
Today while writing to a friend in WhatsApp suddenly the screen went black.
Now I'm not able to turn it on anymore. It doesn't work with and without connected charger.
What are my options to try before sending it in?
Is my warranty void due to the fact that I've got PA installed and the device rooted?
Bend tab up about middle ways up in the charging port that is why I swapped my gnex for a sg3 I didn't like having to do that every other day

Where you plug your charger there is a small tab take a tooth pick, small knife , or something like that I used a small flathead from my phone kit and push the tab up about in the middle towards the led light (front of phone) no more than middle ways and that will give your phone a charge you most likely had a false charge like I did and other people from what u have heard

Please pull the battery before starting to bend! Put it back in and see if you can get anything. Maybe try a key combo to boot, like volume up+down+power.
Hi friends, from last week am facing a display issue in my desire z mobile. The display changes the colors when ever i unmask the KB or sometimes even when it masked... when i googled for this problem i came to know that the ribbon cable is loose. so i decided to open the mobile and reconnect the cable. I did everything perfectly, but when i repaired and turned on the mobile , the screen is black.. only after rebooting (by hearing the welcome tone) my menu keys start lighting and by pressing the power key my screen turns on. Even i cant see the boot loader page ..
I think this could be a software issue, but i dont know how operating with the hardware can mess up the software
Friends please guide me
Something is up with the ribbon cable either it came loose again when u were putting back together or its broken.
I actually fixed mine today, it was wearing through the black outer part and was making the screen jump during scrolling and long pressing when only tapping.
I fixed it with a small piece of electrical tape placed over the exposed part. I guess it grounds out once it becomes exposed.
U only have to remove the mother board from the phone to really see most of it.
What exactly did u do? Is there an exposed part of the ribbon from wear and tear?

there is no physical damage in the ribbon, even i saw the whole connection of the ribbon... no physical damage.
But now, after reconnecting the parts i got another problem to... i cant see any boot animation and boot screen... when i start the mobile it remains black screen and only after hearing the boot tone, again by pressin the power button the screen turns on.. till that the screen is black.. dont know what to do .
U should get a q tip with some rubbing alcohol and clean up the connection and blow on the connection to make sure there is nothing there. Just take our time when u do it u don't wanna mess anything up

sorry i cant get your way of cleaning the connectors. could you please elaborate me the cleaning process? Then bro, still i dont know why i was not able to see the bootloader screen and the bootup animation... but after booting up mobile works fine... so confused
Sorry use a cotton swap dipped in the alcohol to clean the connector on the cable and mother board.
Does the phone have a custom recovery? If so what happens when u boot into it?

no it doesnt have any custom recovery. first i come across the screen colour fault, so i rerooted my phone to claim warranty, but unfortunatly i was not able to claim the warranty. so i felt to open the mobile myself and tight the ribbon. After attempting this repair now new problem araised ie i cant even see the bootloader page and boot animation.. but the phone is working fine..
whenever i turn on the mobile the black screen remains , then i will here boot tone then my soft key lights will lighten, then i will press power butto, then my lock screen will pop up. this is my situation.
Dont know what to do
First let me try your cleaning option, but could you advice me something other than the alcohol ?
Alcohol is the best cuz its sterilizes and dries fast. U don't need to soak it just to get the cotton swab wet and shake off excess and dab it on the connections. If u rub it might get cotton stuck. U could also use a keyboard dust blaster or some kind of compressed air to blast away any particles.
The main thing is to make sure u connectors are down all the way and not to have any tension while putting it back together.
If u separate both halves of the phone make sure u connect to the back of the motherboard after u have tightened down the brackets that keep the two pieces together.
Are u trying to avoid having to remove the sticker while loosening the motherboard?

Now the problem getting worse.. after a cleanup with a cotton bud, my touch sensitive fails to work.
:crying:
now the problems are :
* touch not working
* display colours are changed
* cant see the bootloader and boot animation
Please someone help me :crying:
dont know what to do. Its just a 3 month mobile, cant lose it
Ur doing something wrong all ur problems has to do with the cable. That cable connects the screen to the motherboard
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
I think the proper response is replace the flex cable, they do go bad and for the most part I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. Technology fails from time to time, about 20$ or so and relatively easy to replace
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
yes i think i have to replace the cable, but now i think i damaged the digitizer too..so i have to change both the ribbon cable and digitizer.
but i dont know why i cant see the bootloader and the boot animation.
thats my main problem now..
as i want to root my mobile again i need the bootloader page, guys please help me on this
then anyone having a desire z for sales?? (2nd hand sales ?)
I would probably just replace the ribbon cable before doing anything else digitizer is tied into the ribbon cable as well.

I too had the same issue.. I think the HDR option is not working in that ROM, so you better turn off the HDR.
I apologize for my english, i'm french..
I've the same problem. After a 1 meter-fall, it fell to the ground flat. Since, it doesn't work.
When i press the power button, the phone seems to start : vibration, and the sensitives touchs light. But i can't see anything on the screen, it stay black...
Do you think it can be the LCD screen to repair or the ribon cable ? If it was the ribbon cable, the sensitves touchs didn't turn on, don't you think ?
Thanks for your help, and again i'm sorry for my basic english..!

We cant guess it without testing. In my case i first faced problems regarding ribbon cable and slowly the prob builds up and now my screen is full back. But in your case it is most likely to be the lcd part.
So, better you make a test about it by swapping it into another phone or so..
then one more thing, even if the ribbon cable fails some part of it may work like sensitive light and touch..
I had the same problem. Just get the cable replaced.
