[Q] used sandpapper, does i still have warranty?

hey. i used sandpaper on my desire so it turned sliver.
but today i doped it with the changer in and the place where you insert the cable is edit up. my question is if i still have my warranty after i used sandpaper?
thanks in advance!

Unbelievable! never heard anything like this before. you can probably say goodbye to the warranty.I hope you at least happy with the way it looks.

your device is not in warranty...
what where you thinking while using sandpaper?

:S i don't know i was using sandpaper on the pink metal so it turned silver :S

Even if you didn't use the sandpaper, dropping the cellphone on the floor is not covered by warranty. Sandpapering it is just a bonus.
I don't want to be mean or anything, but if it's any consolation,you gave me a good laugh today.
EDIT : And yes, pictures or it DIDN'T happen.

I was thinking the same thing, mines on the right, they must have moved it on newer phones.
Edit: unless its the camera picking up infra red or something from the proximity sensor???

i went to the store i bought it. he said that the problem was my foult so he wont repair it. and he said that the void is broken. don't know why but. so i went home and open my desire, and i took out all the part and the i found out that the place where is broken is the cpu. so i need to buy a new ****ing motherboard thats cost 500$ http://www.htcrepairparts.com/motherboard-for-htc-desire-g7-p-3231.html
so i don't think im going to fix my desire

As you can still access recovery, do you still have a copy of the rom that you flashes on the SDcard? If so, perform a wipe and reflash the rom...
However, if you're still using the stock rom then you have a problem!
You have learned a valuable lesson in why doing a backup before tweaks is important...
I hope you can get it sorted.

i can't ruu flash it, and it have boot loop. and i did do a backup but i can't enter recovery, watch the film i posted

Is your sdcard damaged? Check it in your PC.
If the card is fine maybe the sim and sdcard chip popped out of the motherboard, take a look inside the phone and pop it back in. It is possible for it to come loose when dropped.
Are you using a2sd? Might cause bootloop if sdcard cannot be mounted.

update crash

Hey people,
I've got the opportunity to buy an desire.
The problem is that the phone has crashed during an update.
I won't pass the boot screen.
Can I buy this phone and make it work again?
Or is it a waist of money?
Best regards,
Sven Bakker

Hmm, just a failed update...
It can be, but it doesn't need to be...
Pvt1 device or...
A lot more than you can imagine...

What does the boot screen say? Do you have any response with the volume up down buttons. Is there any fast boot or recovery access?
Sent from my Desire

The only thing i know is that it goes to the boot screen, it shows 3 androids on skateboards.
I dont know if the volume button still Works ( i assume it does )
What do you think? Is it fixable?
It doesnt have to be the google Android. Every costum OS that makers the phone work again is welcome haha

You got to write down what's written on the bootscreen. The volume keys move cursor on the boot screen?
Sent from my Desire

This is the picture of the bootscreen, this is wat the seller was giving me.
What is supose to happen when you press the volume button?

volume buttons just navigate up and down the menu. to get the phone working u have to create a goldcard and run the latest wwe ruu from fastboot. click bortaks troubleshooting guide in my sig and everything u need is there.

Now, seeing that the phone has a well known PVT1 motherboard it can easily be that you got a cracked device, that will eventualy work and update would be pushed after a freezer trick. However it can end up with overheating reboots.

Thanks guys, its good to hear that the phone is fixable.
Thank you for your help!
what is the difrents between a cracked device and a ''normal'' one?
One question left though,
Is it hard to fix it? haha
Thanks in advance!

yes can be fixed but like nlooooo says because its pvt1 model it could be a motherboard problem of over heating which is well known for that model. so this could be why its for sale in that state. so i personaly would not buy it. thats just my opinion

over heating motherboard = hardware problem and causes phone to bootloop and not work. now if its a failed update then probably tried an ruu or that and it failed

honestly got no idea. buying second hand phone is always dodgy unless u see the phone booted. soo it could be that the phone has overheating motherboard and is broke, thats why hes selling it... or he could be genuine and tried to update it and failed and does'nt have a clue how to fix it. theres no way u can tell untill u get it n try lol. how much does or is the phone gona cost?

The guy wants to sell it for 35 euro's
But what I don't get, when the phone is in the boot screen, then the hardware must be fine, or else it wont go to that screen right?

no because bootloader uses very little power. if it was me id buy it and take a chance for 35 euro. if it works then u got a great deal if it dont then u lose 35 euro which aint that bad, thats just my opinion

[Q] Recalibrate screen after digitizer replacement?

So I accidentally dropped the phone and broke the digitizer. So I bought a new one. I went to a friend of mine working in the service of phone repairs and told me that there is a chance after we install the new digitizer that it will need recalibration and that it will need to wipe everything from the phone to do so.
Do you have any experience in this process? Is what he says possible? And if yes will I need to re root the phone?
Thanks in advance!

nothing? :/ noone has replaced one?

HTC One X Screen problem. Black/White/RGB like detuned TV

I can't think how to describe this, so haven't found another thread on here or on google, so have to post a picture.
It hasn't been dropped: When the Sleep Android app woke me up this morning I noticed that there was time-lag between my commands and the phone reacting. This was a bit annoying, but it seem to warm up and THEN it just FLIPPED RIGHT OUT. I have got it working again with a Soft Reset, but it's dodgy and keeps FLIPPING OUT every now and again.
Any idea what I can do?

No I haven't seen it before that's why its a hardware problem if it is a software problem I am sure you are not alone.
Tv gets detuned when it does not receives signal possibly your lcd is not receiving signals or your hox's hardware is not sending signals to lcd.

Becouse I have the same problem this is BFD(Blck Screen of Dead) The only one solution is to repleace the mainboard. If you have warranty go back to stock and relock bootlader and hope they will repear for free or wait until go so bad and the display stop working and they can't see your status on the bootlader. My phone start slowly to die until one day totaly dead and I am happy because before the dead I go back to stock and relock and they changed the phone after one month in service center with new one. I hope you have warranty. Good luck my friend.

nope. cant see a thing. ohh. but, if they fix the screen, they must turn it on and see wether it's working or not. i use joeldroid and when booting, after galaxy note 2 word, google logo will come up. will they notice that the device is rooted or not?

If your screen is dead, they can't check if the phone is rooted until they fix the screen
Even if they fix the screen, they will most likely be too lazy to check if its rooted.
I once completely destroyed my partitions on my old galaxy by entering a Motorola command in Terminal, + it was rooted
I got my money back

You could try removing the marker with something, and then try sending to the Store you bought it from.
The thing is, with a phone this expensive, no one will give up easily, if it was a 100-200$ phone you would get a replacement no doubt...

yeah. i was totally shocked when i found that written at the battery slot. Guess i'll jus go fix the lcd only since there is sound coming when i push the power button. they said it will cost about 400$ to repair it. 200$ for the lcd and 200$ for the main board. i think they just want it to be original just as new. that's why they want to change the main board. what do you think?
