Digitiser might be faulty. Dirt in connection? Use air blaster spray thing to clean. Moisture? Leave in dry rice, oven.

Big Thanks, it's works
make sure you closed all locks at those LIF sockets, the connections might be faulty when failed to do, no matter how precisely you put the connector on its place... also be aware that there are two pin rows on the socket, so even slightly pulled out connection will be faulty... got same problem with display when reassembling waterlogged phone, skips in connection made the display look like very poor CRT screen
same problem
Hi guys,
i have the same problem, but i can't activate the usb-debuging. That means I can't create a gold-card, which is needed in the link posted above :/

new digitizer also, screen touch screen not working, help please tried every thing. does the phone need to be rooted to do the gold card.. would this even work.. done a few wildfires. and this is the first one i have a problem with...
Had a similar problem, 1st replacement digitizer would only respond in a small part of the screen. Figured it was a faulty part so ordered another one from a different supplier. This time none of the screen would respond. Phone was set to 'charge only' and debug mode was disabled.
Tried this:

Formatted the MicroSD card first. I got a different message in step 7 but continued to follow the instructions and it worked perfectly!
New HTC Wildfire S digitizer not responding.
So I have been having a similar problem. I am attempting to replace the digitizer on my friend's HTC Wildfire S. The first time I replaced it, it didn't work. So I bought another replacement part made sure I was buying for the right model (tmobile). After installing the new one it still doesn't work. I have been trying everything I possibly can to get it to work. The first thing I tried was creating a gold card but I can't because usb debugging isn't turned on and I can't access it to get the CID. I have also tried rooting it but that also requires usb debugging. Then I tried loading the CalibrationWildfireS files onto the sd card and go through the steps (located here: https://sites.google.com/site/repairlinks/htc/htc-wildfire-s-calibration) and ran into a security issue wich caused it to fail. I have put a lot of hours into research and attempts at trying to fix this but I am stumped. Can somebody please help me. Facts: The phone is tmobile (gsm), bought a new gsm replacement, the touch screen is unresponsive, usb debugging is off and inaccessable. Assumptions: this is a software issue (pretty sure), there is a solution.

You have security fail because you didn't create a goldcard. Try generating the CID while in USB Fastboot. Can you do this? I mean does it show the white HBOOT screen when u press VOLdown + POWER buttons? Or it doesn't work AT ALL?

Yes I can load it into the fastboot and it shows the HBOOT screen but when I tried to get the CID for the goldcard it just didn't work. I thought it was because usb debugging wasn't turned on but I'm not sure. What is the process you recommend to get the CID?

display does not always work. The phone is not rooted. So I don't use set cpu or anything like that. The problem that I am having is when I turn the phone on (after it is shut down) it does not display the htc logo, then when it gets to the g2 it does not display that either. When the finishes turning on the screen is still black. I can press the digitizer where I know the unlock is and I can feel it vibrate then when I unlock it I can still feel it vibrate when it unlocks and it takes about 2 to get the screen on from this just pressing the on and off power button. Some1 please help. PLEASE HELP!!! Any Ideas?

I searched other forums and seems like I am not the only one with this problem. All they suggested was to take out the battery, mem card, sim and leave it for a while and then put everything back in, the display was working fine again. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me, not even restoring factory default, not to mention going through that painful "shooting in dark" process.
I am already aware that if all things fail, LCD has to be replaced. Other than that if anyone has any other suggestion(s), it'd be much appreciated. Otherwise thanks anyways

I am going through same problem. Haven't found a 'non-LCD replacement' solution yet. Maybe the above will make things work for you. There was one guy who said he turned on the phone without the mem card. So you can try this as well.
If you find anything else, please share.
Good luck.
I didn't think it was a dead lcd because after about 2 minutes of the phone already running the lcd will turn on again. and I saw your thread that said to take everything out I did try that and it did not help. any other ideas?
Does the screen flicker? If you open it up halfway and gently nudge the flex cable, does it do anything?
I juat tried and it does not flicker at all. Once the screen in on there are no problems, its getting the screen on that's hard. Its realy weird. And it started about a week ago and the phone is out of warenty.

How can it be out of warranty? G2 wasn't released until October 2010 and HTC provides a 1 year defect warranty. Here is the link. http://www.htc.com/www/support/warranty.html. I didn't look at anything outside the US though.
This is not a caused by physical damage so should be covered??
Also, Tmo, if that's who you're with might just send you a new one?
I'm assuming you don't have the Asurion 5.99 plan? That would cover it for $130 last resort.
Oh, also, Visa or Mastercard will sometimes take care of you if you used it to purchase the phone so check with them in a pinch.
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.

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.

Hi guys,
2 days ago my phone suddenly refused to recognize my sd-card. The card is ok, i checked it.
From this point on, I was not and am not able to use usb mass drive, even while being in recovery.
As the phone is rooted, s-off and all that stuff, i can get a replacement on the warranty way..or is it possible to unroot etc. without sd-card access??
Maybe you have some ideas, how i could fix this problem myself?

Hey,
so today i got the replacement sd-card slot.
Opened the handy, replaced the slot, everything was smooth and you couldn't tell i opened the desire, as u said.
But:
There is still no reaction to any form of sd card...
I know there is small hope for this, but could it be a software / driver error?
I remembered one thing:
I used and use at the moment "Virtuous Sense", based on Android 2.3.3.
Right before the problems started to begin, I used "Quadrasense 1.0" for a week or so.
When i became way slower, I wiped and restored my Virtuous Sense backup...
Maybe..?!
It's a bug in Sense 2.1 ROMs, u have to change the ROM if u want working SD card

Hi All
For the last couple of months my desire has had an intermittent problem with the touch screen. All of a sudden it decides you're trying to pull down the "notifications" screen when you're just touching the touch screen, sometimes it also decides you're trying to hold and drag when you're just tapping the screen, sometimes it simply stops responding. These problems are usually solved by tapping the top button and putting the phone on standby then tapping it again and waking it up - although sometimes it then won't let you drag down the screen unlock until you repeat the on/off standby procedure a couple of times. The problem varies on connecting my phone to my computer.
Given that in between these instances the touch screen works as normal I'm guessing it shouldn't be a hardware issue, but the intervals between these problems appear to be getting shorter (either that or I'm just getting more annoyed by it recently). I've had a quick search of the forums and haven't immediately found anyone having this precise problem. Is it likely a question of trying factory reset and if that fails sending it for repair?
Thanks in advance

Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Well since the OP didn't respond here's my suggestions. If you think it's software then just flash to a stock rom. You should find a number of them lying around the forums, and instructions on how to flash. This will mean your phone is unrooted and will need to be rooted, as well as taking care of installing a recovery and etc. This should correct anything wrong with the software.
Otherwise you busted the digitizer, which is actually very cheap to buy on Ebay. You will have to take the phone apart which can be time consuming.

Thanks for the quick response. Before coming here, I had a mobile service shop take a look at my handset and he had mentioned that for HTC desire z, the "touch screen" comes with the "display" attached to it. Did he meant the digitizer only or (digitzer + LCD screen) or he was simply trying to rip me off ?
I am very sure that there is nothing wrong with the display on my handset, its only the touch functionality that is not working properly.
Which one of the following do I need to search on EBay?
gultek.eu/htc-spare-parts/digitizer-touchpad/desire-z.html
or gultek.eu/genuine-parts/lcd-modules/htc/desire-z-hd3.html
or both?
Thanks again in advance !!
You need just the digitizer, if you're doing it yourself it takes about an hour if you've never done it before, don't buy the lcd if you don't see a flaw in it.
Some people sell the whole front chasis with lcd, digitizer, front bezel all connected for ease of replacement. May be easier but you will only shave of 30min tops and spend 3x as much

yeah this happens to my G2 a lot. I got my phone fixed a while back (2-3 months ago) becuase the colors on my screen were screwed up and the ear piece was broken. i took it in and he replaced a couple of cables. it worked fine but now sometimes the screen is just having a straight up seizure. it flips through pages so fast and it goes from page 1-2 and back and forth and then the virtual keyboard presses multiple keys and just its crazy. i feel like the guy that fixed my phone didnt plug in a cable all the way. but yeah thats my problem. i dropped my phone the other day and ever since my phone hasn't gone into a seizure lol
Hi, did you solve your problem? I have the same with my desire Z. It click alone in several place on my screen.
And I ask me if the problem don't come from the lcd digitizer control instead of the touch screen digitizer

Yes replacing the digitizer did fix my problem. And a year later the replaced digitizer started giving problems. So I ordered 2 extra digitizers off ebay. Both of them turned out to be duds. Surprisingly the second digitizer(which I replaced a year ago) fixed itself.
I think Im having the same problem,
bottom part of screen (including the home, menu, back, search buttons) aren't functioning half the time,
is there any service manual, or link to information as to what I need to tear apart on my DZ?
should this be enough? EBAYLINK
what do I need to replace the digitizer?
Okay, I haven't actually used this phone in ages, over a year, but a friend of mine is long-suffering with a BlackBerry and I feel obliged to end her suffering. There are two problems:
1) She wants Sense 4.0.
2) The digitiser is smashed and non-responsive. (A replacement has been ordered)
Now, I am sure that there is a few Sense 4.0 ROMs lying around here due to the fact that HTC released the Desire C, which has the same resolution screen.
So, I started to go through the process of unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery etc and fell at the first hurdle. When I had this, I didn't even look at the developer options, which seems to have screwed me over, because USB bugging is disabled.
So, basically, does anybody know how to enable USB debugging without actually using the screen? Or anything that could enable me to get all of this done now, so I can just replace the screen when I get it and give her the phone?
Nope. Gotta have the screen! And there's not a single sense 4 rom and there never will be. Desire C is armv7 the WFS is only armv6; it's not a case of screen size, but processor compatibility

Ouch.
Indeed, you're going to have to fix the screen first.
I faced a similar problem some time ago. Unfortunately, the digitizer has to be fixed first
Alrighty then. I've seen many reviews saying the far right side of the screen often does not respond on replacement, is this true? I was looking at one on Amazon, although the seller is "HTC" I don't buy that for a second.

I'm very curious on how you proceed on this. I got the same phone and exchanged a non-responsive (shattered) digitizer to a new one which also seems like it is totally unresponsive.
I have read that you need to go into diag mode and calibrate the phone after exchanging digitizer, which seems impossible without USB debugging is set to ON. Unfortunately mine is set to OFF and I'm stuck with an unresponsive digitizer...
Did you get it to work?
