I've only had my Diamond for about 10 days, and even though wifi was working fine at the beginning, i realised yesterday that it wouldn't turn on. Only a hanging scroller for a few seconds and Wifi would stay off no matter what I did, even hard reset. A problem that others have too as I read in other threads.
So, I called Orange a few hours ago (Saturday evening), explained the problem, and I'm getting a replacement tomorrow morning (Sunday!!!). If it actually happens, i have to give a BIG thumbs up to Orange for not busting my nerves to prove there's a fault with the device.
Hope it's not a frequent problem with the Diamond...

i just recently bought my xda2s and it worked fine for a week though. now, from time to time my screen would be "untouchable". literally i cannot click anything or open anything even if i soft-reset it for 10x. buttons seem to work fine but the screen does not. it happened twice while my bluetooth was "on" and i thought maybe it was the bluetooth but recently the same thing happened with my bluetooth now turned "off". i have to wait for hours before it would return to normal again. Anybody help please? By the way, my bluetooth version is 1.0.0 build 3500.
I had a similar problem on my Samsung SPH-i700 PocketPC Phone through Verizon Wireless. Even after a hard reset, I couldn't get past the screen calibration, until I found out that a piece of hair and debris found on the outer edge of the screen right under the lip of the cover was interfering with the touch portion of the display. Apparently, the touch sensors extend past the visible area of the screen, so with both a little aircan and vacuum cleaning, the debris was picked up and the touch screen functioned normally again.
Is this a consistent and/or intermittent problem? Did a hard reset resolve anything?
look for the alignment
Do you have Calligragher 7.4 installed? I read about this in Tekguru website that if you re-install 7.3, the problem goes away. That is what I have done and it seems to be working for me so far (2 days test).
i've checked out my screen and i dont see any dirt or something... i even have a screen protector... dont know if that might cause the problem. Same thing happened last night but this time it was just for a short period of time then it went back to normal... I didn't try a hard reset cause i dont want to loose some of my files but if ever it happened again, i might try doing a hard reset and see what happens... right now, im having my xda2s checked if maybe it's a factory defect or something...
regarding the caligrapher program thing, i dont have that...
Hey, i have the exact same problem I bought mine here in Toronto, from an Asian dealer, its the O2 XDA IIs asia-pacific model.
Same problem, screen(touch screen) goes dead like no responses to any touches, for like half hour - 2hour once in a day or something and nothing cures it, hard soft rest nothing. just with time it suddenly starts working and the Handheld is useless until then...well i dont see any cure and this is the only place i have heard about someone else having this issue, i will take it back to the dealer, in hopes of exchanging.
any feedback will be will be appreciated
overclock it for a few days..that fixed mine..dont know how but it did.
There is a tread in blue angel about screen aliment that you might like to read. seems 4k of devices went out with screen problems.
What is overclock it. Fairly new to this. Mine just keeps trying to allign and thats all it does it doesnt go into boot mode just allign screen all the time
hi people,
i have a big problem,the phone stopped vibrating when i recieve a call and when i play teeter.It's very strange,battery is working and the the sound is ok.I performed a full hard reset but nothing to do.My rom version is the ultimate official firmware 1.37.408.3 ita.
I hope someone can help me here.Thanks
Mine had same problem. I did soft reset, hard reset but nothing worked. Strange thing that it vibrated some times on call but not working in Teeter at all. I took it to service center and they told its faulty. I have returned it now. I suggest you to go to service centre.
Regards.
Hi,
strangely after some days,the phone and the game are vibrating normally now.
Touch Pro not vibrating all of a sudden
Came up with this topic after doing a search and despite my phone being a pro and not a Diamond I am asking this in this thread as the 2 phones are basically the same and well vibrating is a universal thing with phones these days compared to the 80's early 90's when if a phone did vibrate it was a luxury.
My touch Pro has all of a sudden stopped vibrating and after doing a hard reset nothing has changed
The Author of this thread had a problem to me which sounds the same and he mentioned after a couple of days it started working again. I hope the same happens to me but will wait a couple of days to see if it does before taking it to the service centre.
Fabrik78 is your phone still vibrating 5 months down the line?
I can hear nothing shaking inside so to me it doesnt sound like the motor has come loose but still got me pauzzled.
Has anyone else had the same problem and has it rectified itself like Fabrik78's phone and if yes does anyone have any idea why it has done it and how long should I wait before I get it checked. My phone is about 3 months old.
Cheers
John from downunder
Does it vibrate when you turn on the phone?
Cause as soon as it boots it gives a little test vibrate.
Greets.
No, it doesn't, thats why I was checking to see if Fabrik78's is still working. Going by his description its the same as mine. He didn't say anything about the starting up but I would gather saying no vibrating would include the starting up test vibrate.
I'm having a similar problem with my 6 week old Touch Pro. It never vibrates anymore, not even on startup. It just stopped working a few days ago
Mine stopped vibrating a while back and I had just figured it was the rom I was playing with (around the same time frame) but it finally started bothering me so I reverted back to the shipped rom, hard reset messed around with settings and still no vibrations, not even at boot. Finally called spring yesterday morning for a replacement I'm assuming it's a known issue as the rep was rather fast to send a replacement without even the mention of bringing it to a store to be checked out but that could just be a cool rep.
This has kind of happened to me, I think.
It was 5am the other day and I was recieveing texts but had it on vibrate but could feel it. Then again, it could have been me really tired.
I'll post back if I notice it again.
It does work with Tweeter though, or whatever the games called
htc touch pro stopped vibrating
so i've had my pro for about five months now and it just started to not vibrate.
it doesnt vibrate when i receive messages, calls, startup or on teeter.
i dont know if i should wait a while or talk to a sprint rep.
please give me feedback
Had my Touch Diamond for a few weeks now, but my love for it is dwindling into hatred fast
First of all, I've been having a lot of alignment problems with the touch screen. It'll be phone for a short while, then it will go skewiff, leaving me frustartingly trying to navigate to the Screen/Align setting for an umpteenth time.
Anyway, over the last couple of day a more serious problem has occured. My friend called me a couple of times yesterday and I could not hear him and he could not her me. I left it as maybe somekind of tempory network problem, however today my partner and a couple of other people have called me and the same is happening there. I try to call back, but no luck.
Also, I was late for work today... because I didn't hear my alarm! Yes, it seems all sound ceases to function on my 3 week old Touch Diamond
Now I'm left worrying that I have to call Orange, let them investigate and see if they replace it. To be honest, I'd rather have a different model completely. Am I able to get a different phone?
Anyone had this problem?
Thanks for reading.
I have done a reasonable amount of searching on this and have not found anything specific to my problem so figured I should post a question.
I have an issue with my Dimaond when it gets hot generally either using Wifi or Phone Data connection that the screen goes out. Basically everything goes to the left side of the phone so if you hit the Task Icon in the top right corner you get the Start Menu. Phone is basically useless at this point and you have to wait for it to cool down. Has happened since day one and is generally worse when using it when charging. I was watching Utube on it the other night 5min video while on AC charge and it went out. I am running Dutty 2.5 Rom and 25.07 radio have tryed 25.08 and 25.05 no difference was happening when the phone had orginal HTC ROM as well. Also will happen on a long call if the screen is on.
Basically feel issue is hardware related and maybe faulty screen still under warrenty so wanted to know peoples opinion on weather I should send back. Problem is will take a couple of weeks and I don't really wnat to wait that long if I can help it. Also assume it would be best to flash standard ROM back, should I do anything with HARDSPL eg should this be changed back as well if I send it back.
And before anyone says it I have tryed searching this topic and have found lots about HOT dimaonds but nothing related to screen going out at the same time :-(
Thanks
I had this issue in my JasJam (Hermes) whre the screen would simply go white after a while of use and I would have to leave it for a while for it to work again.
Unfortunately it sa hardware issue and you should claim a warranty repair on it
I can't see how this could be a software problem so I figured it must be the screen eg hardware related. Would be nice to know if anyone has had the same issue with a dimaond... Seems we may be spending some time apart, just hope it doesn't take long to fix..
I've had the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428976
My first device had been replaced recently (i.e. today) by my network provider (o2) and the new device seems to work without any problems now even if it's "hot".
(i.e. default screen adjustment + creating heat by activating the phone, wlan, bt + recharging it)
I sent an email to HTC regarding the fault and they said it would have to go back for a warrenty repair. I brought it through a resellar so has to go back to HK from NZ so will be away three weeks uurggghhh... Just seems odd I don't have any physical damage on the screen but hte problem has been around since day one as I remember having the problem the first day I got it. Juyst seems to be getting worse and is easily reproduced by usiung utube over wifi gets hot and it is all over. Just wondering if I should put an offical ROM from HTC back on the device before I send it back as I currenty am running Dutty ROM, what do you think....
i put the original rom back on and they still found out the the rom had been flashed, and would not repair on warranty
yep, i also asked about this problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438733
there are some youtube video's of how the phone behaves
my phone seems to do it less frequently since stopping using panosha's rom
im using alpha zero 7 at the moment..
i've also noticed that it isnt necessarily a heat issue, my phone does it completely at random
yesterday i found though, that when the phone did the alignment issue, i gave it a good shake.. and hey.. its all aligned again?!
maybe it was just a fluke, it hasnt freaked out since..

Hey,
I also have the same screen problem, but my Alignment goes to right.
If I press on the left side, a press on the right side is recognized.
Good to know that Im not the only one with this problem.
greets doena
I got my phone back a week ago replaced the screen has been away for over two months, complete disaster, anyway all sorted now and I have not had the problem since....
I had this exact same issue (out of the box).
It was a hardware fault and I exchanged it for another one.
Haven't had any problems since.

Hardware's fault ? Most likely not. I will give u an example of why I think it was software related. My device ran hot as well but I simply switched roms and now it's the complete opposite. Your most recent device most likely come with a different Rom in the phone.
So back in January the 10th I made the mistake of buying my lovely Sony Xperia Z1, and as soon as I took it out of the box and started calling people I started getting told that they couldn't understand what the hell I was saying. I was really happy with my phone otherwise, and didn't want to turn in the phone. So I waited for the 4.4 update hoping it would fix it. I waited for quite some time, because every time I checked it was just one week away from release or something like that.
Anyways, when the phone finally got released, it didn't fix a thing, (and made the notification pull down menu ugly as hell, lol)
So I turned my phone in for repairs. About 2 weeks later it was returned to me, no problems found. And I got it back in the same condition, just factory reset. Wonderful.
So I went back with it again, explaining it in further detail, that it was sporadic, only sometimes would my calls become really choppy, and nobody would be able to understand me. So we wrote a much more detailed report on what is wrong with the phone, explaining everything.
Once again I get it back, no errors found, but factory reset. Only now the camera locks up every time I take a picture, and the power off button won't work, the wifi is slow as hell, cant watch videos, streams, anything. And I keep losing the signal.
Anyways, I've turned the device in now for the third time, but I have a feeling itll get returned still broken as hell, or even more broken somehow.
I talked to the guy at the shop, and he said they couldn't give me a new phone, even a new z1, either, if thhey don't find an error.
In the beginning the guys at the place I bought the phone thought it was because of the place I lived (a mountain village in the middle of nowhere)
But now I've moved across norway into a pretty big city, and same issues wherever I go
So now I'm at the end of my ropes, I'm starting to think I should just leave it in my car as a GPS and keep using my nexus 4. That or tape it to my toilet and use it as a doo doo target.
