hi All
I got this brand new at&t 8525 two weeks ago with new at&t ROM(2.15.502.3) & Radio(1.40.30.00) pre-installed. It was working fine up untill 2 days ago when it froze(froze many times in 2 weeks but re-started normally). Power button didn't work, took battery out & inserted back(was plugged in). Tri-Color screen appeared right away. Again took the battery out & put it back, same Tri-Color screen appeared even without pressing power button.
Got scared & took battery out 3rd time & left it out for 5 minutes, inserted back, turned on & it worked just fine for 2 days.
Just now after Netfront 3.3 installation when it restarted, Tri-Color screen appeared again. Took battery out for few minutes & its working just fine again(posting this from same 8525).
I have NOT done any ROM / Radio / OS upgrades. Though I have installed TCPMP, Opera 8.65b, Skype etc on 2GB storage card.
Used Cingular 8525 for six months & never saw tri-color screen.
Any ideas / suggestions PLEASE...! Many, many thanx in advance
Try reflashing the ROM
You will need to download the ROM from HTC's website and see if this helps out. If so, add your after market apps back one-by-one and monitor the results. http://www.htcamerica.net/support/d...R_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe
The Tri-color screen is the boot loader area. Usually not a good thing to see unless you are in the process of flashing your ROM
i had this happen once on one of the 8525's i had.. and you might want to consider sending that thing in for warranty repair... Mine did that a couple of times right before it froze permanently...
I would definitely try flashing the official rom, i would not use a cooked rom until this issue is sorted out just in case you have to send it back under warranty!
Thanx Guys
Many, many thanx guys for your insight...I'll contact at&t to get it replaced

I bought my HD2 about 3 weeks ago. Used from Australia (I live in NZ where the phone is not available yet). I got it from eBay, it's supposed to be 2 months old.
Phone worked fine, installed a cooked rom and everything was going great until a few nights ago.
I was playing badminton and had the phone in my pocket. When I took it out, it wasn't responding. So I pulled the battery out and when I tried to turn it back on, all I got was a white screen. I don't know if having the phone in my pocket while playing badminton had anything to do with it, but I didn't fall or anything.
Since then I've tried turning on hundreds of times. Most of the time it's a white screen with a slight yellow tint. Sometimes it's a normal white. Some other times it's a white screen with 'HTC', but in each case, it doesn't go beyond the white screen.
Have tried doing a hard reset, and it says it's successful, but when it reboots, same thing.
Have got it into the mode where you can flash the ROM (hold vol down when turning on), and when I tried to flash the cooked rom, it gets to 1% then resets. When I tried to flash an HTC rom, it just sits at 0% and eventually Windows gives me an error.
Have talked to HTC, and it seems I have to send my phone back to Australia to get fixed. But the service centers in Australia need a receipt/proof of purchase in order to fix it under warranty.
So it looks like I can't get it repaired without paying for it myself.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? Or can suggest something else I can try to bring it back to life?
Thanks
Long time lurker, first time poster. First, let me thank all the devs and countless others for all of the support. OK, so i've had the U.S. TMO HD2 since around launch time, and its performed like a champ until about 2 days ago. The touchscreen stopped responding all together. At the time I was running:
ChuckyDroidRom w/ shubCRAFT 1.5 (8/30 build I believe)
2.12.50.02_2 Radio
HSPL 2
Had been running android for the last 2 weeks. Screen Stopped responding in both WinMo and Android. I scrapped android, and tried a few different WinMo roms. Switched back to stock rom+radio and now with constant soft and hard resets, I can get it to work for like 5 minutes every few hours.
The only relevant threads I found dealt with individuals who encountered problems after opening the housing. Also I read that flashing the stock rom via SD brought the phone back to a repairable status if I were to send it in. I tried, extracting and renaming the signed .nbh from a stock rom, then holding vol down while powering up. I get to the boot menu and a white screen flashes briefly, and then it just reverts back to the red/green/blue/white screen. Also reformatted card countless times.
Long read, but thanks in advance. Can the screen be fixed? If not, how can I get my HD2 repair ready?
almost same prob
similair situation to yours except im running MDJs cm7 gingerbread 2.6 NAND android rom right now. my screen started doing that back when i had 2.0 of the rom yet it persists after updating. my screen will let me keep going for any length of time unless i hit standby button. that puts me in a 50/50 of the screen tanking on the lockscreen. sometimes it works after i try again. however, every single time i hold the standby button to say reboot that seems to just turn my touchscreen function off flat out. battery comes out to fix that so basically i have to pull my battery to shut it off. it hasnt stopped working in the middle of anything only whem the standby/power button gets touched. this hd2 has never fallen down either so not an oops i dropped it but it didnt crack moment lol
hey guys
had an issue today, traded a desire for a HD2 as i really wanted to go back to winmo (crazy most people will think)
Now when i revieved the phone i turned it on everything seemed fine for about 20 mins (note i never used the phone apart from make a call to test)
by the time i had left after a good chat, i checked the phone back at work at it was turned off, i plugged in the charger, the little notification came on and i left it to charge, an hour later after a meeting i turned on the phone, it booted into windows and then after loading sense it crashed and restarted then got stuck on the splash screen
numerous battery pulls and the same issues, gets into windows doesnt load sense, freezes and blank screen, when i battery pull and turn on 90% stuck on the splash screen
installed a rom from the memory card (stock) worked for 10 minutes same issue
any ideas?
do you reckon iv been given a knackered phone?
anyone? iv managed to get it to boot, but after around 10 minutes, it just turns itself back on, pauses at the htc screen, then reboots again and gets into windows, then 10 minutes later does the same, i flashed to the most recent wwe firmware from htc, after it managed to stay on long enough to sync to the pc
im stumped

Check the three little 'fingers' connecting to the battery.

checked already, found that on a search earlier, im now getting the phone vibrating repeatedly on startup on the splash screen
i think its a dud phone
please guys any ideas im all out
Had similar issue with my phone, random reboots after phone was working for a bit, stuck on bootscreen without displaying radio, partitions etc.
Called HTC, was a hardware issue obviously, the sent me a new replacement phon (warranty).
if you have HSPL
1. Task 29
2. when stuck in blank screen - pull battery out
3. bootloader
4. connect back to pc via usb
5. flash any stock ROM (not the latest 3.14 as it will change your HSPL)
Well I think I've created a disaster here.. sorry for the long story... It's been a LONG day.
I thought it was a cool idea to switch from the HD7 unlocked on Wind Mobile to Telus Mobility just to get the Titan. So I bought an AT&T Titan on eBay, unlocked it, got setup with Telus and was ready to roll..
Everything appeared to be going smoothly and as soon as I popped in the Telus sim card it read 4G on my screen, data worked great, voice calls perfect and I was smooth sailing.
Well just when I had to setup my phone to 99% completion ONE stubborn XBL game refused to install (PvZ). Kept asking me to retry or check my data connection even though I was on wi-fi.. So I cancelled it and retried about 10 times with no luck. Finally I gave up and did a soft reset. Well the phone stuck on "goodbye" for more than 5 min so I pulled the battery. Turned it back on at it sat at the HTC screen and would not boot past it. I pulled the battery another 10 times and same thing. So I left it over night hoping it would boot past it eventually but it only ended up draining my battery. In the morning I had to do a hard reset (holding the volume buttons) but weirdly after it did that it vibrated a bunch of times and just sat on a white screen. Again I pulled the battery. Then it did a fresh boot and the whole setup came on.
Well I went through doing my thing again... setting up, installing apps etc. But then apps stopped installing. Started getting errors saying to check my data connection again or try later. Somehow my data connection disappeared and I had to set the APN for data manually. Weird.
Well long story short is nothing has been working right. I keep hitting roadblocks during configuration and setup and end up hard resetting. Hard resets using the volume buttons always do the same thing.. cause the phone to vibrate a bunch of times and white screen and stays there. Hard resets within settings work ok as normal. But I keep getting different results. Like sometimes it will ask me to set the region and timezone on setup, and other hard resets wont. One reset caused Google to believe it was an iPhone I was using as it was clearly the iPhone version of Google home page.
And in the Marketplace sometimes I have US apps available in my region since I shouldn't and sometimes I don't. But now everytime I hard reset I don't have access to ANY HTC apps. If I go through the HTC Hub and try to get one it says it's not available in my region. Yet on my HD7 on Wind Mobile I had all of them and even did a hard reset or 2 and still got them back.
HTC Titan Forever Goodbye
While my problem is much different, there was one commonality that compelled me to post. I have an HTC Titan on AT&T and last night I was attempting to install one game and update another but it was giving me the "connect to wifi" error like you got. I tried to force it 10 or so times and it eventually worked.
However, this morning my maps would just sit at "Loading" and the phone was unresponsive at times. So I reset the phone and when I got to work the icons for most of my tiles wouldn't load, my and various other apps would crash or just sit at "loading". I didn't do any hard resets but I pulled the battery and still the same crap and trying to shutdown normally just resulted in "goodbye".
Since I am going to be sitting at my desk all day I decided I had the time to be more stubborn than the phone and just let it sit at "goodbye" for about 5-7 minutes before it actually rebooted.
EDIT: I just discovered that the app i started updating last night only made it 30%
I have almost 21 months old AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717.
ROM: Padawan JB V2 || 4.1.2| 5|31
It was working FINE past 21 months without any single problem. I had kept like NEW condition - no major drop accidents, case from day 1.
Without NO Reason, it just died 2 days ago.
- My phone was running just a bit slow last week and few strange losing Bluetooth connection during calls.
- My original OEM battery was swollen a bit.(Again, tried with other battery to fix the current situation and new battery is on its way for another try.)
Here is the current terrible condition::crying::crying::crying:
1. Won't Boot to OS, it just splash Samsung logo and blank screen
I had tried to go into recovery mode by using hold Power & Vol button => Failed
(I went into the recovery mode menu only ONCE from almost 10-20 times tries but lost power again as soon as menu showed up.)
2. Won't Charge, it just keeps pulsing with blank screen
I had tried remove battery and put it back.=> Still Same
I had borrowed exactly same working battery(from other phone) and tried to boot or boot into the recovery mode=> Still Same
=> This process diagnosis to me that it is NOT the battery problem.(BRAND NEW Battery is on its way.)
I had tried remove battery first, connect power charger(OEM charger) and put battery back based on one of post that I found.
=> Again, just splash the screen of battery charge for 1 seconds then goes blank screen with pulsing again.
NOW, this is the situation and options I could think of...
A. I REALLY DO wants turning on at least once to back up the latest data from phone's memory(eMMC).
(My last backup was 2 months ago, but has 2 months of new data(specially photos of my 2 yr. old daughter):crying:
B. Wish to keep the phone. But worst case, might be time to upgrade since it will cost something I am guessing.
C. Any repair/data backup service estimates along with suggestion of vendors/repair center?
Here are questions that I have now...
Q1. Does it sound/look repairable from this Sudden Death like symptom?
Q2. Is there any way to back up data at current situation without OS turned on?
Q3. How does all possible future attempts by using Recovery mode, Kies of flashing to data?
Doesn't any of these erase my data? (I DO need Pros confirmation on this before I perform anything from now.)
Q4. I read some "sticky power button" which I NEVER see symptom of button problem.
(Few repair tips like CRC one conductive type spray cleaning or replacement parts and video)
Does it seem like my problem?
I am not positive on this button issue on mine based on my last uses that all buttons were working fine until it died.
- my personal opinion seems like main logic board related problem.
:crying: Please help me specially to BACK UP the DATA at least.
PLEASE PLEASE! :crying:
Sounds like a stuck power button to me. Try flicking it with your finger a couple of times.

You were CORRECT!
Since I decided to purchase new phone(worst case), I had flicking power buttons hard many times.
Finally, the phone boot up without any trouble and NOW back to normal!!!
(Yes, I just backed up those important things...)
Thank you and hope my information also helps other from sticky power button Samsung galaxy devices.
THANK YOU EVERYBODY specially 440bro!
