[Q] My HTC Desire won't vibrate at all! - Desire General

Hey guys, I have an HTC Desire (from Telus in Canada) that has been sitting around for a few months and just turned on again last night.
Everything works, but it seems to have stopped vibrating. It won't vibrate for phone calls, messages, keyboard, or any soft touches. I played with all of the settings and even did a factory reset, and it still won't vibrate.
Anyone else experience this problem before?
It must be hardware related.

Is your Desire still under warranty?

I doubt it....

When did you bought and how long is your warranty?

It's likely the servo is dead. Have the same thing on my Desire, had to disassemble and replace it.

When you first start your device, it should vibrate when the screen first turns on (at least it does with my device). If it doesn't, time for a new vibrator (lol). If it does, it could be a software issue.

htc desire screen problem

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.

Do the same procedure like before: uninstall apps until problem disappears.

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.
what is the name of this app?

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.

[Q] Touchscreen not working after change

Good day!
I have a problem. Some time ago I've crashed my Desire touochscreen.
So I've bought a new touch screen. Glued it in via Super Glue.
Worked fine for some time. But then it doesn't respond to my touches. So it works works, then, BAM, stops working.
If i start charging my Desire - also stops working.
Any advice or help?
Com' on No clues at all? :-(
looks like touchscreen is not the only thing that you crashed.
are you sure that the phone isn't freezing?
That's the problem, that touchscreen is the only thing i crashed. Because when the touchscreen was crashed, it still worked good.
The phone isn't freezing if you mean low temperature by that.
Send it back to HTC and let them repair it.

I'm 99.9% sure he killed his warranty as soon as he did the touchscreen himself...
It's off warranty for lik 1 year

HTC Desire Z Touchscreen doesn't work anymore!

Hey guys,
my girlfriend got a big problem. She was working with her Desire Z and suddenly the touchscreen doesn't work anymore. Just from the one to the other second. Also the keyboard light is off and doesn't go on. The device isn't rooted or something else. Just a normal one. It's about 1 1/2 years old but I don't know what it is. I can't to anything, only over the trackball and the keyboard without light..
I don't want to make a hard reset, there are to many important files on the device.
Does anyone have a solution for this f****ing problem?
Thanks!

HTC One X Screen won't turn on, touchscreen still work???

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?
