Does anyone's G-sensor work? i ran the htc function test and it's not working. Any solutions? I've try a factory reset but no joy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586177
Mine stopped working last night.
When I tried the calibrator it failed saying "calibration aborted" the sensor checker also failed.
I went to the task manager and ended all tasks, I rebooted but no change so I switched off the phone then back on again and all was working
I will have to keep an eye on this

this is indeed a very weird thing mate, it's happening to a lot of people...
I'm sure it's a tegra3 related issue. Probably fixed on the next update.
Now that i think about it...i don't remember to have turnned off my phone when i had that issue...LOL
in conclusion to this subject, my latest "possible" fix is, fully drain your phone out of juice untill it doesn't power up and charge it again.
it should work afterwards.

Have you drained it completly? To the point that the phone doesn't turn on?
Have you tried also killing all tasks in task manager?

G-sensor not working
Tried everything I can think off aside from draining the battery flat. Does the 1.28 rom version fix this issue? Seems like my g-sensor has been dead for a while...
Anyone on 1.28 have this g-sensor issue?
I have the same problem. I wrote a mail to HTC in yesterday about the problem and hopes they got an answer for this iritating issue.

Yup. Tried it all and the problem persists. Complete drain, factory reset, secure boot calibration, kill all tasks, ota update to 1.28 (from & to stock), superwiping and flashing a new rom (twice) , running htc's function test and getting "stuck" on the g-sensor test. And more.
Been there, done that.
The sensor doesn't react at all, so rotation won't work and in games like teeter, the ball just sits there no matter how I twist and turn.
And now HTC, via their chat, say that this might not be covered by the warranty since I have unlocked the bootloader. If I turn it in, they'll send it to a service centre, which may decide that the problem was caused by me (which is impossible since it was already there on stock), which would mean that 1) I'd have to pay for any repair or 2) I'd have to pay for "wasting their time" and cough up money for securely shipping it to/from the repair centre. Yay.
On the up side, the normal calibration aborts if I move the phone during the process, which to me would indicate that the sensor is working at SOME level, right?

My question is, was it working when you got it in the first place?
Mine unlocked itself after about 48hours...
The only thing I can remember doing, that I've never said before was that I dropped my phone several times in all possible directions on a very slim carpet as a desperate act...
My thought was, maybe if I drop it and shake it really hard, it might get loose eventually. (Yes I'm a bit crazy... )
It got back to work after 48 painfull hours and lots of failed attempts...
I had this problem, but it was fixed by a reboot. Dont know if that gives you any clues as to whether it is software/hardware related?
Yeah, it looks like some kind of hardware issue. I need to send this phone for repair. HTC has disappointed me - this will be the last HTC phone I purchase. Nothing but problems since day one. Stay people - you have been warned!!!

Actually I'm not quite sure if it worked in the first place, because I bought it used (from a guy who realized he hated Sense after three days). Nothing seems to get it to work, though I'm glad yours did.

Hum... maybe that's why he sold it sorry to hear it mate...
Well, if you are brave enough to do it, do what I did... shake it a lot, and drop it (from low altitude obviously) into a soft carpet... it might sound crazy, but the shaking could be enough to unlock the sensor... corner drop it all around and good luck! going to google it to see if there is any sort of recent found fix...
in the meantime get the app "sensor list" from the market and tell me the brand of your sensors if you can read it.
I had this issue, 3 days after I got the phone. Tried everything I could think of
(fact resets, etc). Still no joy, so I sent it back to the shop.
When they tested it , it was all workign fine again....
However I have a couple of thoughts on this (not tried it out yet so give it a go).
First of all disable that HTC Gestures/3 Finger rubbish. Secondly ensure Fast Boot is off.
Then re-start phone.
Now , Although I did end up like that, I'm sure it didnt fix the problem immediatley following me disabling those options.
All in all there is definatley something screwing up the G-Sensor, which is seemingly fixable/can be disabled. Its just finding out what it is/how you do it!
Slim
I completely agree on you mate. The question is what.
My subconscious is telling me that it has something to do with the live wallpapers but I have no proof. It's just a stupid hunch, but it wouldn't be my first stupid hunch and I was correct so...
anyway, I've just red this...you guys might want to try and do it.

"I just called my vendor, to complain about the auto rotation issue, and here's the step to fix, which worked for me.
Restart the phone, and go to safe mode (restart, and once you see the HTC logo, long press the volume down button), it'll restart again and go into safe mode.
Go to Settings, Display & gestures, G-Sensor Calibration, then calibrate, make sure to put the back of the phone on a level surface, this time, it shows calibration complete not aborted when I did it before in the normal mode.
Restarted the phone and it works fine now.
Thanks,
Mohamed El-Ghazaly"
when in safe mode, I would attempt everything from a "kill all tasks" in device manager to enabling and disabling auto-rotate in display settings.
Good luck guys.

For what its worth I've no issues and have tried to recreate this as I consider whether to return the phone due to screen flicker. Panasonic Gsensor calibrates fine and Elixir gives steady accurate sensor feedback.

hello. i have bought a desire few days ago. yesterday i notice a problem. i have search the internet but havent find anything similar.
when i press the power button to turn of the screen after i press it again to turn on my screen sometimes the screen turns green and i cant do anything.
this thing doesnt happens all the time. but is preaty annoying and i have to remove the battery.
does anybody have an idea what is the problem
I think it's a hardware failure. Best way is to contact HTC Support.
i am not sure if ita hardware problem. because i notice that moso of the time that this happens is when i lock my screen when an application is open.

I don't think you'll find that's an unusual thing to do! I do it all the time, and have never experienced the problem.
As has already been mentioned, chances are it is a problem with you particular device - especially since you haven't had it for long. However, it could be an app causing the problem, so I'd suggest a factory reset in the first place and see how it performs in a more "vanilla" state.
If it behaves itself, start adding your apps back in again, and hopefully you'll find one causing the problem.
Regards,
Dave
i have already did a factory reset a nothing change. i thing the problem is with the lock screen after i press the power button.. i install no lock now on my phone that disable the lock screen and seems to work ok now.
one thing i forgot to mention is that the problem apear after i did a factory reset.
if this was a hardware problem shouldn't be happening all the time?
i just send an email to htc and inform them with my problem.

Turn it round the other way - if it was a software problem, it would be happening to everyone using the same ROM as you.

yes i know that. but since i disable the lock screen. the problem dissapear.
Today I took my phone to the shop I bought it and after half an hour of trying to show to the guy there what's was the problem. He gave me a replacement.

Hello everybody, i'm fresh new.
Also on my htc desire I have this problem, if you are able to use the device, without see the screen content, you can also shut down the phone. I say shut down because the problem disappear if you stop the phone (or leave the battery) for some minute. it's like all the meroy needs to be lost.
I had this problems some months ago, I unistalled one-by-one the apps, and it worked, now I have installed (during the last 5 months) other apps, and from 3days ago it restarted with this problem.

I am doing but I'm not sure it's the best solution.
I think it is related to some apps, some software problem, but I removed almost all my apps.
I noticed also that if I press the lock/unlock button for some secs, the problem there isn't. But it happen again (most of the time) when I put the device on charge, without turn it off, then when it finished it's a little bit hot and the display doesn't work.
I think it's a problem of the lock button, not software.

I think is a problem related to the memory of the phone. Because I don't have new apps on my Desire.
If I move all my apps on the SD Card, it never (almost) happen...but if some Widget, on the phone, starts in background..
when I push the bottom at the top...the display doesn't switch on.

screen problem
Hi just wondered if anyone else has had this problem bought a desire a few days ago seemed to work fine but it has begun to act a little strange from time to time. from time to time the touch screen will not work just locks up, also the screen goes crazy flipping from one screen to the next, came with android 2.2 but upgraded it to android 2.3 from the HTC official site using HTC sync thought this may stop it, it does not happen as often now but still does it have to turn the phone off then back on again for it to work, anyone got any ideas on this and how I may cure it Thanks for your time.

Tried couple different roms, factory resets, full wipe etc, Phone is still rebooting itself after even 2 min usage on google maps, navigation
Is there a point to unroot the phone, come back to 2.1 ruu to find out or maybe the phone need to be send back for repair?
Thanks Guys

It's a damn common problem on Desire. Also i have the same problem. When the phone try to connect to 3G network go in crash. Also i tried more times full wipe, hard reset, RUU. Nothing. The issue is HARDWARE. The only way is the substition og the phone (or of the motherboard).

My desire kept restarting whilst using open desire and dj Droid Rom. Since I've switched back to official 2.1 stock Rom not rooted my phones not rebooted once. So I'm not sure if its always a hardware related thing. Hmmm

Sorry, After I wrote it down and think after,
I tried to run RUU and first get an error of Hbootloader and later during signatures,
My desire is sim free bought in UK, Tried Europe 1.15.405.1 release 121684 and 685,
Still same issue,
I've never restore a rooted phone before, Do I using a wrong RUU for this phone??

Probably you have bootloader 0.80
Try with stock ROM 1.21.XXXXXX
It's was ok for me
My Desire would soft-reset at least once daily on the stock 2.1 ROM. Switching to Cyanogen has fixed that. Which I was surprised to find.

THANK YOU!
I think someone should put this info into the sticky topic, there is nothing to mention that you need this specific ruu to unroot 0.0 bootloader...
I will test the phone now to see if the reboots are still in th case...
Could anyone who send their phone away tell me how long would take to get the phne fix in uk? can they provide a replacement or up to us to bother?
Ta
I've noticed that mine will reboot constantly after I flash a new ROM.
However, I don't think it's the flashing that is the issue. See after a wipe and flash I usually sign into Google to get sync my contacts and calendar.
Since 2.2 the phone tries to automatically download apps from the market.
If I'm using HSPA (3G) to download while the phone is plugged in and charging I will 100% of the time get constant reboots until I physically remove the battery.
Even then, if I remove the charger and try the phone will keep rebooting. I usually end up having to charge the battery while the phone is off then remove the charger. It will then usually work with no issue or random reboots.
I've tested this when I'm using Wi-Fi - Never a reboot issue.
Also tested using extensive 3G (soon after flash) without charger plugged in. Phone will sometimes (maybe 25% of the time) go into a boot loop with each reboot occurring within a few minutes of each startup.
It's no secret that the phone gets hot when using 3G to download a lot of data. For some reason this is compounded after each flash.
I use syspanel to monitor battery temps and in the situations described above where the phone starts constantly rebooting the temps are around 36c - 38c. I'm not exactly sure because it reboots before I can get accurate temp.
I question syspanel accuracy because it feels bloody hot! Temps are normally usually around 22 - 27c and it feels cool to the touch. Hard to believe 10c can make that much difference.
Could this be a hardware design, like how CPUs will throttle once a certain temp is reached to prevent damage? Or maybe thermal paste (is that even used in phones?) not properly applied to some component on the PCB.
Perhaps others can comment on their battery temps. Sounds like that's the issue if maps and navigation (data + battery intensive) cause reboots.
Also, as mentioned by someone else I can't remember (sorry to the poster) after I update or restore Launcher Pro my battery drain becomes ridiculous (I've lost 100% in 4 hrs). Quick reboot after update or restore solves the drain.
Now the phone is running stock rom and radio,
Tried google maps today, and it only last for about 2 min before reboot, when the phone is in normal usage like calls and texts I never had a reboot,
Must be a overheating components, like you said thermal paste or something.
Tonite i will give them a phone and the courier to pick it up.
Do you think guys is worth to mention about mainboard? that will need to be replace or just mention overheating issues and constant reboots?
Do they provide a replacement unit for the time being?
Thanks all

That's exactly the issue I had - could replicate a reboot within minutes of Google Maps use. I also believe this to be a heat/paste issue, as the unit got incredibly hot (on one occasion almost too hot to pick up).
Mine was replaced as being faulty (with Virgin in the UK) after I recited several forums and a google search to the operative. You might be able to get this with Three if you push for it but Virgin are the only ones I know of actually replacing the handsets (FYI thier callcentre staff seem to know thier stuff).
I will miss my desire Courier will pick it up tomorrow and God knows how long it will take to get it fixed!!
Customer Service was excellent so far, the guy even said that this is actually quite a common issue with Desire( too much power inside such a small device)
Hopefully I'll get a new motherboard!
Thanks guys for all your help! Now is the time to start up OLD grandpa Sony Ericcson for the time being...
Reboot with GPS and Charging
Hi
I have send my desire for repair, because it reboots every time i use navigation and charging at same time. Navigation alone dosn't reboot.
I tried to reinstall, but HTC would let me have the file to try to rewrite the ROM.
I try to times to clear the phone several times, but now i just wait to see if they will find the problem or just rewrite the ROM.

bottom buttons not working, none of the three. when i try to press back or menu, sometimes nothing happens and sometimes i press above, like menu at home page. And also when i try to keep touching them after a while the phone gets crazy, and starts to make strange things like entering some apps, switching between them, taking screen shots (normally i do not know how to do it), beeping, and going on like this without stopping. if i can press power of, it stops, otherwise it goes on himself.
i try pressing all three at same time may times, and i restart many times. Sometimes it starts normal with buttons working, usually with not-working buttons, but it gone againg Now i am trying to use without buttons, but when i start any apps, i can not back, so everytime i restart ((( offfff

Before it goes crazy with non-working buttons, i just start to use a Bluetooth headset (discovery 975), after pairing with it for a time i use normal both device. and my last app which i install via google market was "GSM Signal Monitoring".

Same here, mine also get replaced under warranty and it is a hardware problem
i hope mine's is not a hardware problem, because i have no warranty
but for a 12 hours it works normal, i do not know what effects it but i make bluetooth on, and it seems normal now.
just strange
I had the same problem, they replaced the touch screen under warranty.
Even with an unlocked bootloader.
please please not he hardware problem i have NO WARRANTY
i had a similar problem on my first hox and it was replaced under warranty
my buttons were completely dead. yours seem to still have some life in them. try a factory reset. if that doesnt work then try holding all 3 keys at once for 3 seconds. i am told that this "resets" them
if neither of these work them i am afraid the screen is broken
Yeah it's broken.
In the HTC shop they reflashed the RUU just in case, but, it was broken.
Why do you have no warranty?
i have the same problem with the same facts

My device is original , original rom without root, or something else. i just install apps from market thats all.
Before it goes crazy with non-working buttons, i just start to use a Bluetooth headset (discovery 975), after pairing with it for a time i use normal both device. and my last app which i install via google market was "GSM Signal Monitoring". Now i uninstall it, and bluetooth is off. But problem is still valid

Hi friend, just know i read your invoice while i was trying to find a solution in my same problem. My device HTC One X (32Gb official rom, not rooted, android 4.2.2, Sense 5.0)
Most of my friends say that the only thing i have to do is to send it at the service as it is still on warranty. I have tried everything before, like reset, remove everything, but the problem still occurs.
Tomorrow i will try the service
Can this be due to the recent update?

Hi. I've never imagined such a thing to happen at random and I strongly believe this to be an outcome of the recent OTA update (4.4.2, S5). Everything was working fine until today evening when I picked up my phone to make a call and boom...the buttons just stopped responding. I barely stay away from my phone...and I had it functioning fine 2 minutes before they stopped responding.
What could be the cause of it? Is there anyone out here who can please...please shed some light on this. I'm not opting in to do a hard reset yet because I have this thing called 'button savior' doing the job for me but of course it ain't nothing in comparison to the stock thing. Plus, this is annoying to see your device go off on you in such random fashion. Any help will be highly appreciated...really looking forward to hearing from someone.
Best regards,

BUMP!
Is there anyone who can throw some light on this? I have been told that front panel is faulty and it'd cost me approx. 8k+ for the replacement of the entire front panel. I'd rather sell this than spend 8k on it.
Mine started doing the same thing and I also had no warranty for the device. The way I got around not being able to use the physical buttons was through an app called Button Savior. You can download it from the play store and there is a free version that functions perfectly well. If you aren't rooted then install the non-root version. This app puts touch buttons on your screen. It takes a little getting used to, but overall Button Savior was a great alternative for me.

There's no way the buttons will come to life after the reset. I tried all of that but to no use. As a last option, try to place all 3 fingers on the bottom buttons for few seconds (I've heard few cases reporting it to be the magic key but not in my case ). If still the things dont work, the only good option is to download this app called 'button savior'. This will save you from the big replacement expense (I think the front panel is close to 100$+ and about INR 8,000 here in India). As someone else also stated here, it will take you a little while to get used to it but believe me it will still be better than betting that kind of amount on a dead device. Good luck!

THANK YOU!!! I was really desperate and without warranty. Try you said and it works. Too much porn on my HOX :angel:
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?

I get my HOX fixed last week and I worked normally again. But after 2-3 days, the problem is back again. I contact HTC and they said they even replaced my MOTHERBOARD and Screen. Wtf is happening???

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?
Hi everybody!
I have an almost 2 years old DHD which I think is completely bricked. It was working for approximately one years perfectly and then suddenly it stopped working. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it only vibrated once and did nothing more. Sometimes it turned on and these working periods were enough to restore to stock condition (It was rooted and had Eng S-OFF before.). I had brought it to service and they said they was not going to repair it as the device got water damaged. I'm pretty sure it was not! After a few weeks, it started working again. I was using it for 3 months then it bricked again and it's the situation today as well.
Previous week I looked into the development thread and saw all of these new amazing roms. So I took my DHD to see if it's working or not. The situation is the same. Everytime I power it on, the phone only vibrates once and nothing happens. I'm not able to get into hboot mode. At some very rare occassions the phone turns on and works flawlessly till reboot. When I connect it with USB, the computer doesn't recognize it. Battery is charged, I even tried another battery.
Does anybody know what happens with the phone? I'm open to any possible solutions to try. Please don't suggest to bring it to service or repair it, because I have another phone, just want to try to recover it and ask your ideas about the problem.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Adam
So you say you cant enter in fastboot or recovery?
Since it's intermittent, my guess is it is a hardware problem. Some kind of bad contact/loose connection. Make sure everything looks good on your battery door and the battery contacts inside the phone.

I also think it's a hardware problem. Will take a more careful look at the battery.

Wrong sub forum buddy, post in the One V Forum.
Its possible that there isn't "water damage", but there could be moisture getting into the phone causing it to act erratic. To cancel out that possibility, submerge it in a closed container full of rice for a few days
