[Q] Semi-damaged XDA Orbit

Hi everyone,
It is almost 2 weeks my XDA Orbit is not working properly. The first time it hanged-up during a call and afterwards it took me several resets to bring it back. During the system load the screen was changing colors and freezing, sometimes completely white, sometimes with some colorful stripes, sometimes solid violet. After several reboots I couldn't turn it on at all. I took it to local service, where they told me that the problem is with boot loader and fixed it. I took it back and have the same experience. I have flashed it with original ROM, both from PC or SD card, but the same problem exist. I am assuming that the issue is in a hardware defect. I know that it is the time to get rid of this PDA and get a new one.
Anyway... Is there a tool available for testing HTC hardware (CPU, flash)???

possibility the battery gone or the lcd.
buy a new battery, theyre only cheep so start there..
leave it off while charging, green led when done.
if its not your battery, i think its your lcd..
best to open the device and check your lcd is connected properly..

Thanks! raving_nanza
Opened my Orbit recently, the connector is in place. I would assume that the issue is more in battery then LCD. The battery surface is lofted.
Assuming that it's a battery issue - should the same happen if the device is always connected to external power supply?

LOL
get a new battery dude..
dont turn the device on untill the new battery is fully charged.
a simple fix hopefully..

I has a similar issue with an old phone and it ended up being the screen went bad. Have you tried a different rom to see if it does it as well? And did you notice any oddities with the screen before you flashed the new rom?

now it became like this

hardware
My phone did something like this too. It was a hardware issue. You will have to send it in to get fixed. You might be able to buy a digitizer on ebay and install it yourself. This may fix the problem and will be a lot cheaper.
I just bought a second hand desire z, it was a cheaper/better option for me.

Nexus has grainy screen

Hey all; I got a Nexus 7 this past December and everything was working great until yesterday.
I took it out of my school bag and when I pressed the wake button this happened:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now whenever I wake up my Nexus the same thing happens. Sometimes it goes back to normal after a few seconds, but it continually freezes or has random slow downs.
I reset the device and erased all my data and whatnot, but still the same has happened.
Any suggestions?

What ROM are you running, stock or custom? Try reflashing a ROM (let us know if you aren't familiar with that) in case something's corrupted. Hopefully it isn't something with hardware.

This should be a hardware failure.Take it to the service.

@Pandae: Everything was stock. @GeoVali99: Correct-o, sir!
Ended up being a hardware issue so I'm getting it repaired.
I appreciate the words though!

Hi!
I've got the same problem.
Can someone tell me how to fix that Problem by my self?
I have no guaranty left...
Thanks!

Not a big deal. The LCD is fine. What happened in my case when I got exactly the same screen is that the amber ribbon (LCD to motherboard) seated wrong, and I bent a pin on the motherboard connector out of shape. You open the back cover and reseat it, but make sure you do not damage the pins. In other words do it very gently, do not force anything, and monitor it all with the help of a magnifying glass.

Nexus 5x sensors unavailable

Hey guys!
I recently purchased a 5x off of ebay for $200 and have been largely happy with it. Unfortunately, I've been noticing little annoyances, like not turning off the screen when I put my phone to my face. Not noticing when I pick up the phone, and not noticing when I try to rotate the screen into landscape mode.
I found some other users talking about re calibrating their accelerometers, but I think my issue may be a bit broader.
Testing with apps seems unresponsive on many levels. Using "sensor readout" app all sensors seem to have the same fate shown below. "Waiting for sensor to become available"

I don't know what that means
Edit: Newest n2g47w vendor image installed Still no sensors available

This vendor fits to Android 7.1.2 revision 12 and higher.

Still not working
Well, I just performed a "flash-all" with Google's most recent bullhead release
bullhead-n2g47w-factory-e4179e51
I am still getting "possible malfunction" in the app GPS status and toolbox.

I fixed it! I had installed the
H791-32GB-MDA89E TOT file, and repaired the sensors

Fine

False. I had to reflash the firmware

Question [SOLVED] Very strange ongoing camera issue

Hi, I have spent the last few weeks searching XDA, OnePlus and various other forums for an answer to this issue but have come up with no working fix.
The camera on my OP9P works absolutely fine sometimes, but other times it will show the feed for about 1 second and then freeze, completely unusable as the OP Cam app will also become unresponsive. Other times it will work, but the wide-angle 0.6x lens will not be accessible, the button for it will just not be there. Other times it will work 'fine' but the 1x lens will have a very strange overlay on it (photo attached).
I have tried every cam app on the first 10 pages of the Play store and even installed older versions of the OP Cam app and I eventually get the same issue. It happens in every app I use: WhatsApp, Instagram etc.
I have installed various ROMS also and still had the same issue.
Has anyone heard of this issue before, or know what it could be? My gut says it is hardware related but if I restart the phone, it usually works fine with no physical changes to the device.
Device was purchased around September 2022 and is in great physical condition, currently running OxygenOS 13.0 (LE2123_11_F.75).
Any help will be much appreciated.

Is that 100% sure? I thought it could be hardware but a simple reboot usually fixes the issues for a little while.

I've reached out to the supplier who is going to repair it. Frustrating but quick response times so we'll see what happens.
