hello i've got my htc desire since it was released in romania 3 years ago and i can say that it was a good choise but now i have some strange problems on stock rom whit s-on, no root and no custom recovery and that happened a lot the problems are: the device is laggy(not a big problem but still), the lock screen it's not working properly i need no drag it down like a 100 times to unlock the screen, if i press on a radom app it opens an other ramdom app and a lot of strange things can someone help me?
Why not s-off, install a recovery, and flash a custom rom?
A fresh rom install will likely fix all the issues, and speed up the general performance of the phone.
If you dont want to do all that (not sure why) and stay stock, you can flash an ruu.
This would wipe the phone and reinstall the stock rom. If the touchscreen is still behaving weird, its probably a hardware problem.
Looks like ur digitizer is fooked, happened to mine. Opened random apps etc. Try typing this on ur dial pad, its htc diagnostic test -
*#*#3424#*#*
If it works then choose the screen test, touch test (something like that) and run ur finger all over the screen, it draws lines and ul be able to see if theres any fault with digitizer. (blank spaces) that way ul know for sure if it is ur digitizer. If there is no fault then like said by chromium try going s-off n flash another rom n see if problem is still there.

ty for your help how much would cost me to replace the touchscreen? in romania the entire display is 10 euros and 3-5 euros the montage so i think that i will repaire it

This can easily be fixed by using an optimized hboot and an a2sd script to move apps to an ext partition on your SD card. Anyways, since you've found that it's hardware you should fix that first. Good luck.

I've just dropped my phone and the screen has cracked. The touchscreen still works the same and there is none of them funny colours on the screen like when you break an lcd so think I have just broke the glass surrounding the case.
Any idea how much it would be to get this repaired, don't have insurance on it and it's the first phone I've ever broken (absolutely gutted)
Screen repairs are expensive. If you're brave you could always give it a go yourself, but i know it's around about 100£ or so for a screen repair on a device like the DHD.
If you send it to HTC make sure if you have a custom ROM to put the stock one back on and un-root and set the CID back to default.

I've had a look at the price for the part and its only £35 for the replacement part, I wouldn't mind having a try at fixing it just need to figure out how to do it as I cannot see any you tube videos on how to do this.

Do I have to do this if I sent it back as it is not a repair under warranty I am after. Mind you I have seen the prices they want to fix it and it's quite expensive
Took me long enough to figure out how to root it and then find a ROM I like, don't fancy the hassle of unrooting it

If the phone is still usable take out some insurance, buy a case (to prevent further damage), give it a month or so, then claim off the insurance.

thats what I've been looking at , will cost about 90 quid if I do it that way with the excess and insurance.
The part isn't too expensive and would give it a try but cannot find any guides on how to do it and looks much more complicated to do than the wifes blackberry screen which I replaced myself last year

If your going to do that (commit insurance fraud), you may wish to stop discussing it on a public forum.

from what I have read on this it's not the lcd that's broke it is just the glass screen digitizer.
That link you sent me does sort of have a step by step guide how to replace it, shame theres no video showing how to actually replace the screen but think I might have a go at it anyway
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

so you think that the guy tried to fix it for himself but due to the hardware problem it failed?

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

The seller said to me that when he leaves the phone for a few days, that sometimes the phone start propperly.
Is this an indication for overheating?
There is a rule in the stock market. Its called don't throw the good money after the bad.

But when phone is cold (-20° C) this works fine. What is it, can you help me
change the touchscreen(is cheap kinda 20$)
..
maybe some " spot " from the touch screen is blocked ... maybe due to the " heat " that kinda makes the touchscreen to misbehave.
but first try to reinstall the ROM by wiping all things.
Thank you, I did full wipe and reinstalled Rom, problem is still exist. How can I change touch screen and where to boy it for 20$? If I change touch there will be air gap I think. In my service centre to solve problem I need about 240$
now phone is ok, because im outtdoors where is -25 ' C

Why don't you take it to the HTC repair center. I'm sure they will replace it for free since it's hardware related problem

Are you sure about this? I thought by unlocking the device you lost your warranty (HTC made it pretty hard to ignore), since software can f*ck up the hardware?

i think htc repair centre wont work with my phone cuz of unlocking bootloader. about link... this is only touch screen, ours service centres cant make this job to replace only touch screen. After this zerogap will be lost
Hi!
I have installed a new touch screen in my device desire, but is not working good.
What is the problem?
The HBOOT returns at image.
Thanks at all.

The problem is the black stripe on the screen? Did you connect everything accordingly?

No, the stripe is only the plastic protector.
I think that all things is right connected.
My Original touch have CHIP = C1 and the new screen had CHIP = E8
*CHIP <-- Reference a image
I don't understand your problem. A lcd sostution shouldn't compromise anything, but maybe... (????) your nand was deleted?
Can you enter recovery? Try to install something
I was trying a touch with different chip and it did not work at all (6 mounts ago - don't remember how do the chip was called)
But can you explain what is your problem?

When I was trying another tuch my phone also boot up normally, but had no response.
So I think a47hitman have similar case..
maybe its the wrong one so. i just assumed that if the phone boots n looks normal then something is faulty r not connected.
seen smth similar to this. its most probably a matter of connection cable. try cleaning the connectors.

Actually htc replaces anything for free if 1. Your boot loader is locked ( but in India might not figure it out they are dumb) 2.the damage is not personal (if u literally broke it after making ur HOV fall ) 3. Your phone is still in warranty period...
If u plan to submit phone to HTC revert to stock completely if possible...:fingers-crossed:
