Hi,
I'm a new member here. This is also my first android phone I ever had. I've searched if someone already has similar problem, but I didn't find any thread with the explanation so I decided to make a new thread.
Here is the situation:
I have Wildfire S, system is updated to android 2.3.5 ; software number 2.26.169.1
My problem is unlocking. Sometimes, when I press unlocking (power) button at the top of the phone light doesn't appear on the screen (only sensor buttons are lighten at that moment). After that I put my finger where ring lock should be shown and slide my finger up, and the phone unlocks... After pressing the power button at the top of the phone I should be able to see my screen (it should turn on), but that doesn't happen every time. I tried with restarting the phone. After restarting it works fine, but the same thing happens again lately.
Phone came with android 2.3.3. To solve the problem, I tried factory reset after the upload to 2.3.5 (thought it is going to return system to 2.3.3) but software version stayed on 2.3.5
If anyone knows how this could be solved, please tell me.
Thanks!

Are you running a custom rom, if you are, then i suggest you set your min frequency at about 200mhz. If you are using stock, unrooted, i suggest you take it to the HTC service center to get it fixed or better still, root it and enjoy the limitless possibilities of android! :good:
Thanks

Thanks for the replay. It is stock ROM. As I said I recently started using android. I'm not familiar with all of that possibilities it has. I'll consider what to do. Anyway thanks a lot!
In addition to your above mentioned problem I also had problems with the unlock screen. Sometimes it doesn't unlock easily and I hav to pull the ring 4 or five times to unlock it

I installed Tigger's excellent WildChild ROM a couple of weeks ago using CWM. My phone is S-ON, so I unlocked the bootloader by downloading the file from HTC's site.
Now with typical timing my phone appears to have developed an unrelated problem with the touchscreen - after a short while of use, it starts glitching up and the touchscreen goes all screwy, acting as if I'm pressing in places I'm not pressing and stuff like that. I can unglitch it by pressing the power button off then on again, but it's really annoying and makes the phone nearly unusable.
So I'm thinking I'll need to return the phone to HTC - will my warranty be affected because I've unlocked the bootloader? Can I remove stuff like CWM and the modded ROM so when (if) I return it, they won't say I've invalidated the warranty?
Thanks a lot for any help.
No....they already know that you unlocked the bootloader since you did it via HTCdev.....
And PLEASE!!!! THERE IS A Q AND A SECTION HERE!! POST QUESTIONS THERE

Thanks for the suggestion, I actually use several different chargers anyway and it doesn't seem to affect it. I've reset the phone to factory setting and cleared the Dalvic cache several times. Unfortunately problem still exists.
If you've ever tried to use your phone in the rain, the problem is very much like that. I really wish there was a way to fix it, but it looks like I'm going to have to send it back, and hopefully HTC won't complain that I've installed modded ROMs etc.
When I have had that issue when I turn of the screen and look at it at an angle there's usually a little non-glossy spot or two that you can slightly feel.cleaning them off usually fixes it .happens a lot after eating greasy foods. May our Mary not help but better then having to replace it
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 All,
I have a rooted (boot loader unlocked) HTC Wildfire S Marvel (A510E)
It has a strange problem. The lock screen freezes every time after locking and I have to try about 6 to 7 times to unlock it.
This is Common across all the ROMs that I have tried including stock and many Custom ROMs.
Also, two stripes of portion of the phone's screen i.e., upper side and left side doesn't work at all.. Not even touch.
For ex; I can't type alphabets 'q' and 'a' in qwerty keyboard. However, display is working. not touch.
The warranty of phone is expired and I really want to know if there is any way that I can fix either or both of these problem in home.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Kindly inform me if I posted this question in wrong area as I am totally new to this forum.
The lockscreen 'freeze' generally happens to everyone,even me,when I use the scary governor.It also happens for stock users.Did your screen die due to excess heat at that area I.e.do you use it in extremely hot conditions?
Lock screen > Grounding issue
I bought Wildfire S day before (New but without warrenty) and it was working very good. When i charge it full and then started using it its lock screen in not responding well. After doing 5-6 retries i was on the home page. Opened menu and tried to click on Favourites or Downloaded icons, it not working. Sometime it does but i cant open downloaded apps page. Similarly its back button is totally not working.
I charged it from my other HTC charger and then then problem was over. I worked well. But again after some time same problem started. I have searched over internet and seen similar problem in HTC Sensation for grounding. And there is a way out given too... But no such procedure can be applied to Wildfire S.
Can anyone suggest any solution?
Thnx.. Nope..

Maybe you damaged the digitizer. Search for a new digitizer on net and replace it yourself. You can find guides for it online.

HTC phones have severe problem of screen not responsive when connected to a power source, may it be a USB or a charger. I had that problem before I got my phone serviced. It was completely resolved.
Just use original charger and make sure the power plug you are using has proper wiring. I mean proper earthing.
I faced same problem few months ago,I send it in HTC customer care .they replaced front panel

Hi,
The touch screen in my wildfire s is not responding properly. Sometimes while using the phone, some touch feature gets clicked automatically, for e.g. when I am using the camera, the home button gets clicked automatically and it comes to the home page or some time the search window pops up automatically from no where. Rooting the device or putting a custom rom din't help.
Please help me to know whether I need to change some hardware from the service center or does this prob has some soft fixes?? Any body else having the similar kinda prob??

I've had similar things happen on my Wildfire S, but only under 2 conditions:
1. When my fingers/ the screen are wet. It tends to think i've pressed every button on the screen.
2. When the phone is overheated.
So if it's either of those problems, the first one is common sense to fix (dry yo' hands). The second probably means you're using too much RAM. Use a task manager to see if you have any RAM hogs.. It's probably neither of those, but it's the best I can do.
I've had a couple wfs that had problems similar to the ones that you are having. I just took the phone back because it was under warranty. Touch screen problems is a hardware issue that can't be fixed by flashing a ROM but sometimes it can but it depends. In your situation I would take the phone back if its under warranty. Is your phone new? When did you start experiencing this problem? Hope this helps.

I don't think that is the case with me as sometimes it happens just after the restart of the phone also. Some time it stops responding completely. But when I lock the screen and unlock it again through the power button, it starts responding properly. Can be a hardware issue. Is changing the digitizer gonna help? (I dnt have much knowledge about the hardware though.. )
