hi,
this is really starting to get on my nerves big time.
I already had the instance 3 times in the past few weeks that my hero woul freeze during sleep mode!
i just don't know what the reason is, because im not doing anything with it, it just sleeps.
i cant turn on the display, and i cant even do a soft reset.
only way out is to take out the battery, and i hate that because opening the backcover is a pain.
Anybody got an idea?
i am having the exact same problem.. not sure if it happened before the ROM update or not.
Its most annoying.

Just happened to mine for the first time
I got a feeling it has something to do with either Wifi or GPS in the radio rom.
Which radio rom are you guys using? Mine is 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18.
First off: Let me clarify that I searched the forums but could not find any thread that described my problem. If this has already been answered, please help me close this thread.
I'd been running the Desire V5 Android build with Jul 23rd zImage for a while now without any problems.
I recently started having lag, slowdown and non-responsive touchscreen (I'd have to wake my device many times before it started responding). Last evening, it stopped responding completely. I pulled the battery and booted back to Windows, only to see that that touchscreen wasn't working even there!
Worried, I flashed the shipped ROM for my T-Mo HD2 - no SPL (RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) and the touchscreen started working again.
I thought everything was fine and started Android, and found that the touchscreen stopped working.
Now, even reflashing the shipped ROM doesn't seem to do anything.
What can I do? Should I do a Task <what>? Has anyone seen/had this problem before? I'm hoping it isn't defective hardware.
Ok, got it working
Ok, I got it working again.
1. I did a Task 29 using (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781&highlight=Task29, ShaDrac's repack).
2. Flashed a ROM (I used the T-Mobile stock ROM, but I guess anything else would have worked too).
Hope this helps if someone else faces the same problem!
I wonder why this happened, though.
Im glad you got it fixed
Maybe you can put a [fixed] or something in the thread title to help others?
Just a thought

Guess I spoke too soon! The problem is back, and this time I didn't even boot into Android. Guess it's the hardware. I'll just have to install the stock ROM with SPL and go back to T-Mobile!

I have the same problem. Right now, I think it's the hardware. Just sat down the other day with my HD2 in my pocket. Maybe it has been bent or something like that. I don't know....
the same thing is happening to me..at first if i locked my phone and the screen wudnt respond..now it wont respond at all..i tried flashing it..still not working!!..has to be something with android..i installed a new android build the day b4....or the new cookies home tab replacement...i installed that too...dont kno wat to do now...
I have had the same exact problem.. the touchscreen stopped working when my friends and some chicks were taking pic (EMBARASSING ) ).. and i even tried it on windows mobile, didnt work. tried that yellowish button in the back of the phone to reset it.. nothing happened.. so i plugged in my phone to charge up (IN WINDOWS since i couldnt boot into android.) It was charging the whole night, and when i woke up the issue is gone, havent had it at all after that.
i am almost positive its hardware; you all are describing the same exact problem i had a month back. i finally had enough and called htc, found out the phones are warrantied for a year and sent it in for repairs. took about 3 weeks and my phone was back, 100% fixed and cost me nothing out of pocket (well except the cost of shipping the phone to them). instead of fighting it, call htc......i was so glad when i got this problem fixed it was so damn annoying! good luck all
Thread moved to Q&A.
I had the same problem a few months back. It is certainly hardware. I had this problem before android was available on our hd2's. I task29'd it, flashed to stock rom, and reverted to stock spl. Nothing fixed it so I had to send it back to T-Mobile.

Hi guys,
Has anyone ever had this problem. To my knowledge the phone was never dropped or shocked yet the accelerometer seems to be stuck. (yes rotation is on ) I used a diagnostic app to see if any data was coming from the accelerometer / gyro but it does not move at all. I was rooted and ROM'd with TWRP and Clean Rom (been that way for months), but put it back to stock kernel and rom. Nothing. Same problem. has anyone any knowledge as to changing the gravity sensor chip or any ideas at all? THanks in advance for any suggestions.

Rotation Lock Adaptive Free app. It has many rotation options that may be an answer to your problem.

I had the exact same problem. Androsensor showed that the accelerometer was not working at all. After googling...all I found was to bang on the back of the phone. I didnt believe it at all, but after hours figured I would try it. Took the back cover off and banged on the he phone fairly hard. Turned it back on and everything was working. There are several sensors that apparently get stuck sometines.
I did the same thing with switching roms. Try banging the phone before you waste more time. I was all set to go to Best Buy the next morning to return it.

Did you take the battery cover off? I laid mine face down with the battery cover off. I really couldn't believe that it worked. There wasnt any other information for a fix that I found. You might have to return it.

So this is probably the 3rd thread I've made for this device.
After returning my first Z2, I got this one a few (maybe 4 to 5) days ago and now I'm having issues with it. First time, the screen froze at my lock screen pattern entry; no response whatsoever but the LED light was blinking as I had a notification. I had to hold volume up + power button to soft reset. In the same day (today) I've just had to reset it again for the second time but this time, the power button would not wake the screen! No matter what I clicked, it would not work so I had to press volume up + power again till it vibrated 3 times and reset. I'll be going back to return the phone tomorrow and getting my third Z2! Anyone else having issues or anyone have any ideas as to why it's/what is happening?
Thanks in advance for any responses
EDIT: Are there any built in logs I can have a look at or anything of that sort to determine what went wrong?

Is your phone bone stock at the moment? (locked BL, no root, stock rom, stock kernel)
I had the issue initially - the phone wouldn't wake up a couple of times a day and I'd have to soft reset. But I was rooted with a custom kernel, etc. and learning to use the tools for Sony phones (coming from Samsung phones). But now it's perfectly stable. In my case, I suspect it was a combination of how I was flashing things,etc.
Otherwise, completely stock, i don't recall the phone freezing. Have you done a complete wipe and repair via SUS or PC Companion?

Hey, yeah the phone is pure stock. I've not messed around with the software nor downloaded anything I shouldn't have. I've not done a complete wipe and repair but I'm thinking about factory resetting. Obviously this is not a hardware issue but I don't want to have to keep resetting my phone twice a day because that is stupid. Hopefully it was a one off and I guess I'm not too bothered but I may go in store tomorrow and just see if they will replace it. Silly reason to do so, I know, but I guess I'm within my rights if the phone isn't working properly. What do you think?

Hey Shaf, thanks for the suggestion. I've just posted there now so you can see all the issues I've had with this particular device so far. What do you think I should do - as in should I go in and see if they will exchange it or should I wait for the .69 firmware to roll out?

I only bought it a few days ago and manufacturer's warranty is 12 months here I think I'll keep it and see if a firmware update helps because it is perfect hardware wise and I won't be happy if they give me a new one and it has gaps etc. Would you happen to know if the new update helps with the camera/overheating issue?

So it looks like I've got a faulty Ferrari just had to reset it again for a third time! Not sure what the reason is but again the power button would not respond and the screen would not wake.

Haha, to think I'm gonna be working for them next month! Yeah I'll have to record all problems from now until them give me a working phone. I saw the .402 OTA was available from today in Europe so I'll wait for that to roll out before making any rash decisions about returns

Ah man. In a way I'm glad to see I'm not alone at least! For some reason mine is mostly random but I've kind of noticed it happens after I pull the charger out. Have you tried to go in and exchange it? If it's the camera causing it, it seems easily reproducible.
@shaf46
Hey Shaf, sorry to bother you mate. I just don't understand what is wrong with this phone! My estimated time on with stamina mode is down to 1 day a few hours again. It is a brand new phone I only got it yesterday. Is it the way I am charging it or is it just buggy software? I don't have any apps I don't need and even tap to wake is off. The battery works normally I guess although it is draining a bit fast (5% in 20 minutes while using it) but I don't understand what could be causing this to happen!

It's happened to me once where the phone wouldn't switch on after sleeping, turned on after about 2mins, but only when I received my magnetic charger and started charging with it. Not sure if the magnetic charger is the problem since I only had that problem once and never happened since.
Are you charging it with a magnetic charger?

Did you manage to sort it out? No I'm using the standard charger provided but after charging it last night, the estimation of battery time in stamina mode has come down significantly. The estimation assumes stamina mode is not on but it is turned on in my notification bar. This time yesterday the estimate was at ~5 days.
Hi everyone. Thank you for reading.
I am posting for help with a friend's phone. I, personally, have an S3 on Sprint and haven't had much experience with T-Mobile phones. He has rooted his S5 (T-Mobile, obviously) using galaxys5root.com (I'm now not fond of that site due to his bad experiences that consistently happen) and has not put a new ROM on yet. It has been successfully rooted for several weeks, but today he went to text someone a response and the screen went black, and the blue notification light breathes. It also does a light vibrate, like when you are turning it on. He's getting a replacement anyway, but we want to unroot it before sending in the defective device. I'm wondering (and to my knowledge it seems like) if it's a boot loop. Nothing shows up on the screen at all, not even the back light is coming on. I have yet to connect it to Odin to see if anything comes up. I'm just seeing if this has happened to anyone else and if they have figured out a way to resolve it. My suspicion is that there's a problem with either the boot sector or the recovery sector, as it does not go into recovery.
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks again!

It sounds like the LCD display has gone bad if the vibration and blue light function normally but you cannot see anything ever.
When they get the new device you might want to suggest that they follow the rooting instruction in this forum on XDA instead of going to a website to do it. Just my opinion.
We are thinking the LCD is bad as well, it just feels like a boot loop because the light vibration keeps happening (I forgot to mention that). Sometimes the blue light will go out and the phone will vibrate lightly and then the blue other starts breathing. It's just repeating that non-stop. I had to pull the battery.
As for him rooting through here, I told him to with his S4 and S5 but he didn't listen. The S4 took a crap, and now the S5 took a crap. I told him I think it's that site. The method is correct but who knows where those flash files come from... I've never had any issues rooting through here, just an occasional reset here and there, nothing as major as this.

Normally, even in a boot loop you see the initial Galaxy splash screen when it first starts booting. Then you see it over and over again. If you see nothing, it normally means the LCD is bad and unfortunately it's the most expensive part of the phone.
Good Luck with it.

Wouldn't surprise me if the device is rebooting itself trying to fix a hardware fault. Might be detecting the LCD has stopped forcing itself to reboot.
But yeah, stick to XDA from now on We are good people here Welcome to the family!
