[Q] Black screen on HTC Desire

Hi guys
i have a strange issue on my device,since stock ROM i guess, the problem is follows:
my screen just go black sometimes i thing it happend only when a call is in progress or when call is ended by the third part, the screen just stay black and no solution but uplug battery and start up the phone
i had this problem eaven on my stock Rom froyo 2.2, then i try leedroid 2.3 and it was ok i guess, then i try oxygen rc6 everything works superb,fast,clean,smooth but the black screen occures multiple times in one day (today around 3 times) so i was forced to return to my stock froyo 2.2 and hopes will be ok,
the problem is as i search thru internet... seems like one of the sensors works baddly, i think is the proximity sensor, what can i do? should i sent my device to repair? i realy appriciate any help and suggestions and ideas how can fix this problem....

still no solution it happens on stock froyo 2.2 too but in smaller period as on oxygen rc6, i try set --- display off to value 30 minute from previously 2 minutes and problem dont occured for last 2 days

this might seem like an ovbious answer but when your making a call the desire has a light/proximity sensor to the left of the top htc logo that turns the screen black when it senses something, this is to stop you pushing buttons with your ear.
i dont mean to insult your intelligence or anything, just saying ya know if it happens when not in a call it sounds like a software issue

i already know that, searchin a lot about this problem mate trust me, i also know when the proximity sensor is located and what is his function but the issue happening only when a call is made never happend just like that so i thing no sw prob, using stock froyo 2.2 now no root just a clean official and it happens like 2 times per day when i was calling more that 2 minutes when i set in setting--display to turn off screen in 10 minutes this problem dont show up soo i dont know realy maybe i sent my device to reklamation will see

This happens me with root and without root. It's when your using anything that has with the SD card to do with. Like the gallery, it has gone black for me to under a call though... I dont know how to fix this problem, and it's very frustrating to take out the battery all the time.

My friend i am working in mobiles but i couldn't guess the problem cause i bought my cousin this HTC desire until she removed the screen guard (( the plastic sticker for protect the screen)) from the screen and i solved the problem so easily.
Best of luck

true is that i am using Zagg shield, but this cannot solve the problem cuz i try few days without any screen protector and the problem was still there,
but i guess i solve this problem few months ago, i notice that the black screen after call happend when my network is set to "GSM only" strange but since i use WCDMA only the problem is gone, dont know surely but guessing, also when i use mobile network in gsm only mod, phone freezes totaly and only unplug battery helps, as i said since i am using wcdma/hsdpa/3g only non of these strange thing happens
hope this help for someone

Hi, guy!!
I've the same problem several months ago. Have you solved by using WCDMA only??
Thanks

Hi all,
This was happen to me last few day and i google whole world, finally i find my answer and i hope it was help for those who facing this kind of problem.
I can confirm this problem no related to rooted or without rooted phone. this problem definitely come from the proximity sensor which people highlighted this sensor located at top left of htc logo which u can see a blue color circle there.
Try watch this video of disassemble htc desire and you will find the way to clean this proximity sensor area.
Tools to use for dis-assembly:
1. Philips screw driver.
2. Torx screw driver
Cleaning tools:
1. a wet small cotton buds.
Hope this method can help.
Area to clean:
1. The proximity sensor which you will see covered by a black rubber
2. The casing area which i show on photo.

[Q] Colored snow, screen distortion, earphone speaker not working on Tilt2

Hey everyone,
I'm currently running the latest Jackos and I believe everyone was fine with the speaker you hold to your ear in conversation until about 2 weeks ago. Maybe a week or so after I installed the newest Jackos. Now I can't hear anything on it, but the microphone works fine. Speakerphone works fine, and my bluetooth earpiece works fine. I've searched for help on this and can't find anything to fix this problem.
The other problem is right when I boot the phone, instead of getting the black screen with the red diagnostic text, I get a white screen with colored speckles all over the screen. The speckles don't move at all and if I let it sit for 20 seconds or so, it will then show the HTC logo on black and continue booting. I can't get into the bootloader, I can't hard reset the phone, etc. Any ideas how to fix this? I haven't tried flashing the same/another ROM yet, but I don't know if that's even possible with this snow screen problem.
I've run Task29 and all the usual stuff every time I've flashed and I have never seen this happen until a couple of weeks ago. It does it NEARLY every time I soft reset or shutdown and boot or pull the battery and boot. The battery charges fine and it runs fine otherwise.
The screen will get random glitches in it, even when the battery is full and it makes me suspect maybe the battery's going bad but it'll run all day without problems and it doesn't get warmer than usual or anything like that.
Also, sometimes it says there's no SIM inserted and I've pulled it out, the contacts are nice and gold and nothing seems wrong.
Any ideas?
My sig is out of date but I have to head out right now and can't switch it yet, but it's the latest Jackos with 6.5.
Thanks,
Eric

I would flash a different/stock ROM and see if anything changes.
If no, hardware problem. If yes, software problem .
You seem to think you cannot, but AFAIK if you can task29, you can flash a ROM. Either way, putting an nbh on the SD card and doing power+vol up+reset should work regardless, unless the device is really bricked - in which case it wouldn't be booting.

Okay thanks, I'll see what I can do with it.. It does boot fine, though for a week I thought it was bricked because of the snow, but I decided to just let it sit for a week and gave it a shot, and poof! no snow on the first boot. It had the regular red text on black. Then I reset it from the slide to reset menu item and it went to snow again. I let it sit there and about the duration that it would be on the diagnostic screen, it was snow, then magically showed me the HTC logo and booted normally.
So it seems to me that it somehow doesn't want to show diagnostic info but does everything else.. So maybe the bootloader mode IS working, I just can't view that. I'll see what I can do.
Does the screen corruption/no sound in earpiece seem like a ROM issue, or battery related, or phone going bad problem to you?
And I've been looking for a while trying to find a suitable replacement, but haven't seen anything that I really find appealing (either in Android or WP7).. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks again,
Eric

Flash stock, it re-flashes everything... Make sure it works, then flash back to Jacko's.

Talk about loaded questions! I haven't found anything that's appealing with a hardware keyboard yet... The supposed TP3 (on Sprint it's the "Arrive"...) was a real disappointment.
MT4GS looks decent, if you can live with tmo...

Thanks for your replies, I'm going to try to flash to stock in a little while and see how that goes.
The new Glide phone that AT&T has sounded promising until I read a review of it. Slow camera, 480x800 on a larger screen, etc. It didn't seem as cool as I had hoped it would be after that.
I'll write back with my progress or lack thereof with this TP2.
Eric

I installed HTC's official AT&T ROM and the screen corruption seems to be less extensive but looks different too. The snow at startup is still present though.
There was a radio that came with Jackos ROM, is there any chance that's to blame? Though it worked fine for a couple weeks before these weird screen things started happening.
I haven't tried making a voice call yet to test the earpiece/earphone/loudspeaker or whatever the proper name is for it but since nothing else is really 'fixed' I'm not sure it will work either.
Thanks,
Eric

The stock ROM should've come with a radio as well...
task29 & flash stock? Otherwise perhaps you have a hardware problem... I don't know what to make of this snow .

The earpiece/loudspeaker thing isn't fixed either. I'll try a Task29 tomorrow or tonight if I can't sleep (thinking about this stupid phone! ) and then flash this ROM again and see what happens and let you know.
Thanks again

[Q] Continous Vibration

Hello people!
I am a new member with XDA Developers
Anyways, I would like to ask if any of you face this problem where at any random time the phone would start vibrating continously until you shut down the phone and is there a fix for this?

Hello and welcome the the XDA Forum!
I've found at time that the app "Whatsapp" when I get a message, My phone will constantly vibrate until the screen goes off for 5-10 seconds then it's fine until I turn the screen / unlock the phone, I think it's a common problem as I remember someone else had this issue.

Yes i also found that too, but sometimes I encounter the problem with SMS too. Never encountered this problem with my previous phones, the GALAXY Ace (GT-S5830) and the GALAXY 3 (GT-I5801)

It hasn't done it for SMS for me but yeah it never did it on my previous phone either ZTE Blade

When my profile switch app change profile and take phone to silent mode sometimes makes my W too...
The only solution reboot...

Looks like this affects all GALAXY W's

Yes, and it happens always the best time... meetings, driving...etc.

never happen to me
but if it happened, I'll flash a new fresh ROM and see if it solves the problem

Happens to mine, seems like it was only when Whatsapp and something else had a notification at the same time.

I had many ROMs like: Stock, Kezra, F.A.W Special. I get vibration in each case.

that's weird, mine never experience it
I have tried stock, Bagux's, Blacknote, Kezra, and deodexed rom.
maybe something to do with HW version?
mine is rev 0.6 (via *#2222#)

Unfortunately mine too. No more idea.

Damn, mine is also REV 0.6 as well.

Still same problem
Mine also rev 0.6
Tried Rebel Rom, Bagux, Bionic Cow 2 v 7, stock DXLM3, stock XXLM8 , all still has the same random vibration.
And the vibration won't stop until you reboot.
Probably hardware related?

This happens to me since the first day I got this phone...
Honestly, it's annoying me !
Cause the only way to Stop it, is a reboot..
Sometimes it starts to vibrate in school, and as Im using a TPU SoftCase it's even more uncomfortable...
I thaught I was the only one, but seems like it affects all Wonders..
No matter which Rom I use, everytime the same Problem
A random time.

[Q] Caller Screen turns blank, doesn't wake up anymore

Hi,
I got my Nexus a few days ago and I am quite happy with it - JB update worked immediately like a charm and it's a joy how fast everything works ...
But there is one pain point I encountered. While taking calls or calling someone the screen blanks, probably because of the proximity sensor. So far so good - but it doesn't turn on again. Then I am not able use any on screen controls, especially calling hotlines that require you to dial specific numbers while calling this behaviour is very frustrating.
I found a workaround, to setup the power button to cancel ongoing calls - this way I am able to hang up at least.
Is this a known behaviour, are there any solutions or other workarounds or am I the only one encountering this problem?
P.S.: I am running Stock Jelly Bean (4.1.1) / no root / no modifications

Am I the only one experiencing this behaviour? - any help would be gladly appreciated!

I have a friend with a Galaxy Nexus with the same problem. I'm wondering if you have found any solution to this or what was causing it?
This doesn't happen with my Nexus or my wife's

Either a busted proxymity sensor or a disconnected one
Under warranty ? exchange it
not under warranty ? Open it, make sure that the wires are plugged correctly. If it is and you still have the problem, replace the sensor

Hi, I haven't found a definitive solution for this issue
It just happens from time to time. Maybe the proximity sensor is kind of flaky?
I am using a combination of the Accessibility settings, pressing power button to hang up a call and screebl to keep the screen on. This works okay for me.
If you have any other intel regarding this, I'd gladly read it.
Cheers!

[Q] Vibration Not working

So today my motor stopped working, all of a sudden it wouldn't vibrate. It won't even Vibrate on the "Google" splashscreen. This is also the third Galaxy Nexus Verizon has sent me, the first being sent back, from being purchased new, due to power issues, the second a wifi issue, so I'm thinking it's a hardware issue. Anyone know how to fix it or whether I'd need a new one?

if you don't want to crack it open, i'd say return it. still, you could try and flash a custom kernel that allows vibration control, crank it all the way up.
