any idea's???

Sure I can help
Hi.
Good to help the Gurus .
I hv opened so many times my 2s 5/6 PDA2k and have also replaced 4-5 screens.
I do not follow any std procedure...may be this is right as so far I hv not faced any problems.
1) Remove the battery and then remove the small as well as 2 big corner screws and side screws.One can use any std tool kit to open these screws.In all the whole of the device there are only two types, small and large(Dunno abt the pitch etc)
2) Slowly remove the black cover.Specially take care of the volume slider as it very delicate and tends to break.Then remove the internal entina.
3) Slide out the key board and then open the upper two screws of the front slider.
4)Important step..Very slowly remove a) Vibrator and keep it aside, b) the connector which connects to the dispay, and then totally take apart the PCBs, so that u can see the display and the other two small screws.
5) Now take a screw driver and slowly remove the front pane by creating gaps in the preiphery of the front panel and the upper slider part.Pls take care that speaker also comes out with that...take care of the connections.
6) Now there are 4 small screws, two below the and two above...remove tham slowly and you have the display out...just replace and do the reverse of the above....you hv successfully changed the diaplay...
I hope, I hv explained quite clearly...Pls let me know if u face any difficulty.
6) Now complete screen is visble

Position sensor or something?

Ok, it seems there is a position sensor in TyTN (correct me if I'm wrong). When my phone is in its case on my belt and it's turned on (usually by a call), it's rotated (as if the keyboard's open). It takes too long time for it to rotate, and I can't answer the call until it rotates back to normal. So my question is, can this sensor be turned off, or is there other thing, that makes the screen to rotate and eventually how can I solve the problem? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm useing Schap's ROM, but the problem existed in the official rom, and the Black rom, and the official WM5 rom

no position sensor that I know of and I have never had this problem :s

Yeah, there is a position sensor on the hermes. It's a magnetic sensor that detects whether the keyboard is open or not.
The problem is most likely your case. I've heard of issues like yours. The magnetic snap on the case fools the hermes into thinking the keyboard is open.
I don't believe that there is a fix to bypass the sensor, as it is hardware. But I may be wrong. If not then you might need to look at another case that uses velcro or something.

ah now that would make sense, i never use that stupid case that comes with it, they are really ugly! so that would explain why i never noticed it.

My wife came up with a great solution when I had this poblem (standard case causing phone to start in landscape) - turn the phone the other way round! Now I have the screen facing my belt and the phone is ALWAYS in portrait when I get it out.
Sounds silly, but try it - it works!

Yep, that's a sollution, but there is one other detail. There's no other position I can plug the earphones .

Solution..... Bluetooth Headphones.

It appears to be a magnetic switch...
Your case must have a strong magnet on it, I can't get it to effect the switch if the phone is completely closed. Only if I have it partially open.

I have exactly the same problem. Also, my phone is NEVER put into standby before closing the keyboard.
I'm going to try storing it with the screen facing towards my belt.

I simply use Brando case and HTC BT S-100 headset. and never have a problem with phone starting in landscape.

FINALLY... WHAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)​All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps

It's also the way to receive less radiation in your body, because the GSM antenna is pointing away from your waist.

I can, and I used a Tesla-meter to measure them:
in-between the two magnets of the case and the lid, there are around 150 mT (Millitesla) which is pretty much!
for comparison:
a usual horseshoe magnet would have 1 mT, the magnetic field of the earth has about 0,05 mT!

Can't you do something with the lock screen(s) - swipe/pattern etc?

Any news about this problem?
Anyone have a ide how to solve this problem? Please post.. maby a app or something that helps?

A piece of duct tape is your friend

my trackpad has a mind of its on. it really p's me off. I would like to disable mine too. anyone please help.

I've also discovered some annoying behavior of my trackpad. When i'm typing a text with the phone tilted about 90 degrees, the cursor sometimes jumps up or another direction. And when my phone is laying on my desk @ work and it starts scrolling through my home screens when the sun is shining on my desk.
I Hardly use the trackpad, so disabling would be a solution.

i have noticed that since i have installed my new rom (skyraider 4.2) and kernel (incredikernel) that i haven't had this odd behavior. Dunno if this is what did it or what.

same here; it is too responsive somewhere/sometimes especially when I use this xda app, holding the phone in left hand and trying to press back button with my left hand thumb, it switches to next or previous tab because of optical track sensor reacts first. However it is not that responsive when I need it; especially where I want to move cursor forth or back within a text. As from the day 1, annoying...

Have you thought about opening your phone and plugging it out? Yasir did that with his stuck trackpad.

Yeah.....it worked out ok for me...... I took out the connector cable, wrapped sticky tape around so it won't touch anything......be careful while dismantling the parts, took me an hour to pack all up even with instruction video.....
Search "desire disassembly video"
And "desire assembly video"
Get the required screw drivers and you're good to go....

Muteslider on the side?

Hi
i was thinking of getting the oneplus 3 and i was wondering if the hardware mute slider on the side is annoying? i really like the idea of having it but i know why the iphone has the slider go horizontal instead of vertical like the oneplus 3 because im assuming it might slide in the pocket?
so my question is, does anybody have the problem of having the slider unmute or mute the phone while sliding it into the pocket or not?
cheers

no, my mother had me tested...

I find it annoying.
When sliding the phone into my pocket, the slider gets knocked up to silent mode or DND and I miss notifications.

Dont wear leggings like a woman and u wont face any issue like that

never had a problem like that and its safe to say that i never will

Hard to believe that somebody actually managed to slide the switch while sliding the phone into the pocket.
For me, it the slider is hard to slide and it is also not protruding outside the body of the phone. Till now I have not had it activating by itself.

No issues here either. It hard to move by itself
