I have put many ROMs on my phone (ATT Fuze) since I got it in November. Today I had Da_G WinMo 6.5 xxxx98 build. The screen was off, and I hit the power button to wake it up. The screen started to come on then if "faded" away. I could try to wake it up and the backlight would come on, but no screen. I finally got it to were I could put a new ROM on it, PROVEN 2.4 and the screen works. But know about every 4th time I put it to sleep and try to wake it up, the screen "fades away" again. But it does come back when I try it again.
Is this a Hard SPL prob? Is my phone going dead? What should I do? Sell? Put Stock ROM on it? Driver Issue.....HELP!!!!! I can't live without my phone!!!!!
Reflash back to stock AT&T ROM. I have no idea why, but that seems to do a better job of cleaning out previous ROM's. Also, make sure you perform a hard reset every time you flash a new ROM.

After i upgraded to this radio i have had interesting problems with my phone. ithought it was bricked and it very well could be. But sometimes it decides it wants to work but after a minute or two it cuts off. when a softreset or hard reset are perfromed i get nothing but a white screen. I can tell it goes thru the whole process bekuzz usually after putting it to sleep a few times i get my regular screen but the radio doesnt seem to be connected. any help would be appreciated. also the buttons on the face of the phone dont seem to work.Thanx
What is "Regular Screen"?
Regular screen means the screen u would normally get after your boot and splash screen. Or better said my today screen. Sometimes i cant get my today screen up. i had BL 1.04 before the upgrade if that matters any
Today screen is very good! your device isn't fully bricked. It may be a bad radio flash or it may be a hardware issue that merely coincided with your radio upgrade. Next time you get a today screen, try to flash one of the other sspl based radio only updates (find in wiki under radio only upgrades). Remember to practice safe flashing techniques!
usb on rear usb port. No usb hubs!
all winapps closed
running winXP Pro
activesync connected
screensaver/sleep mode off (flashing takes 20+ minutes)
i have flashed the 1.27 radio again without having my today screen and that did nothing. It went thru the whole process of flashing and everything but same results, just a white screen when booting up and afterwards. im downloading the 1.34 radio now.
You need to flash the sspl version which requires first being on the Today Screen (not white screen). Tri-color boot screen will show v1.09-Des if you do this.
i guess i will have to wait to see if i get another today screen and hope that it doesnt reset itself
does it matter that i can put my phone to sleep and wake it up over and over, i just keep getting the white screen. bekuzz now i cant seem to get my today screen back anymore
ok i have done what u said and flashed the 1.34 radio and still have the same problem. after the flash i had my today screen for a minute then it reset itself and now is gone and back to the white screen. also when i was on the today screen i didnt have control of the buttons only touch screen.
i think i may have a different problem. it doesnt seem to be resetting itself everytime it goes blank but that the screen is dying on me. hmmmmmm....... this is quite strange. i can also recieve calls. i cant answer them but the handset rings.
This may be silly but if I were in your place I'd just reflash everything with an official rom that replaces everything (i.e. SA 1.35) and see if that fixes the problem (though i might wait until somebody who knows more then me verifies this is a good thing to try). I'm wondering if the bad flash somehow effected something in your OS or something.
When I mess something up like this, I like to get back to a place which has been known to work - then I have a better idea of where I am (ie brick or bad flash)
Hope this helps
yea i actually went back to the original cingular ROM that came with the phone. so we shall see what happens from here. i also will have Cingular send me a new phone, i was tired of the scratches anyway. So far they havent noticed that my phones are supercid yet. Keeping my fingers crossed
Hardware problem IMHO...
Sleuth u are right. No matter what i do to the phone it yields the same result. My screen still turns off and the buttons dont work. iwonder what couldve caused this. i didnt drop it. well not recently anyway. BTW.... is there anyway to get the original 1.16 radio back on there. i tried doing it but it just hangs at 0%.
Thanks Sleuth for all your help, you are definetly one of the reasons this forum is helpful. That and that good ole WIKI.
Recently my phone has been suspending the screen and not bringing it back when I press the power button. I was running 3.2.6 before, reverted to 3.2.3. Tried hard-resets, taken out the battery, tried running with just the rom and nothing else installed after flashing, still doesn't work.. I've also tried taking out my memory card and running without that.
The power button still works because it will still turn the phone on, and bring the phone out of sleep sometimes, but if it doesn't work on bringing it out of sleep it seems that I have to soft-reset or the phone just doesn't work...
Any suggestions? Also.. I this is a bell phone, they have stock roms available on their site, but am I able to get the stock bootloader back on in case I have to warranty this thing?
You've tried most things that people could suggest, however have you tried a different ROM?
I know this used to be a very common problem when the Tilt came out, but once everybody started changing ROMs, it slowly disappeared.
My suggestion in short: Try relocking the bootloader
My Two Cents:
This is actually the most evil bug ever for this phone. I got this bug on my Sprint Mogul and couldn't get rid of it. Some people say it's because Java is running and then causes the phone to hang, but I never found that to be the issue. I got a Verizon XV6800 and experienced this problem only when I was flashing from stock to dcd 3.2.6. It occurred after I unlocked the bootloader, but after I flashed to dcd it went away. It was between having the stock and dcd roms that I found that most people experienced this problem when the loaded they new bootloader.
If I had to guess, based on my knowledge of operating systems, that some process is taking up a lot of resources, mostly CPU time, and is not allowing the phone to come out of standby. I guess this because sometimes I have had this happen and the screen would come on after a LONG delay.
My touch screen will not work at all, everything else on the phone works just fine. I tried a hard reset and now I am stuck at the alignment screen. Any suggestions.. Anyone run across this error?
Thanks
reflash bro
put the stock rom back on
and then put the modded rom on
and it should be fine
Typically means something is interfering with the recognizer.
If you are using a protective case (shell) or screen protector, try removing them temporarily to see if they may be causing your problem.
I didn't have anything over the screen.. Any idea why it would do something like that?? I'm going to reflash to stock and back to modded ROM tonight and I'll let you guys know in the morning.. Thanks for your help.
Could be a "bad" flash.
If it still happens with the stock ROM flash, you may have a defective unit on your hands.
Hardware problem?
I had the exact same problem about a week ago. I tried reflashing the device, hard reset, etc. In the end, I couldn't even get past the screen calibration wizard. My conclusion was that I had some kind of harware problem -- the touch screen would respond intermittently for brief periods of time and then go unresponsive again.
My fix: I took the phone to my ATT service center who, much to my gleeful surprise, gave me a new one (warranty exchange) without any hassle. I expected to have to fight with them, but the transaction was trivial and stress-free.
I'm now deciding which WM 6.5 ROM I like the best. Many thanks to all the hard-working contributors and chefs on XDA for providing such awesome content and support!
Good Luck with your phone
i also had this problem recently. phone was working fine in the night, went to bed and woke up and was unresponsive. Tried everything. I ended up flashing back to all the stock stuff and sent it in for repairs. I got the screen and dpad replaced under warranty. I have no idea what caused it, but it happened. Definately not a software issue if you have reflashed...
my advise, flash back to stock spl and your carrier rom and send it back.
I had a similar problem and opened a thread as well. My problem in chronological order
1. Bought a TMobile MDA IV over ebay.
2. Flashed several different ROMs of WM6.1 and was just enjoying myself.
3. Installed a 6.5 ROM the calibration screen required me to go through 3 full circles.
4. Worked fine for a day, then the device was locked and watever I tried I just couldnt get to open it up
5. Did softreset, it didnt help either. I Would end up at lock screen
6. Finally got back to HTC stock ROM 6.1, and I couldnt get past the calibration screen for a month.
7. My conclusion as well, that its a hardware problem, unfortunatel where I live I dont have Tmobile and the screen from touch pro is slightly different in size to the tmobile variant.
8. Hence it was a brick!!!!
9. After a month just last week, I thought of trying to flash back to 6.5 and see if it works.
10. Went calibrating in circles for about 10 times and guess wat!!!! It starts up!!!!
Now my conclusions are as good as anyones, it cant be an hardware issue. I am trying to find a solution so I can reflash my ROM and go to a stable version and live with my phone atleast for an year.
The Mystic ROM lite version has touch response software built in, Could this be the issue.
Anyones got any idea let me know
Sorry guys..I think this is my first post here..I tried to make I resarch on my prob but I haven't find nothing similar (correct me if I am wrong..)
By the way I was using Dutty crem de la crem for a month with no prob after that the following issue came up:
Once my phone is on if I keep it pressed the power off button the page with power,lock screen or terminate data options show up but at this point the touch screen is freeze doesn't work...only thing I can do is repressed the power button, switch off the screen and re and press for example the "answering" button and I can unlock the phone (in this case the touch screen is operable)
Same thing if is the phone is in locked and I press the power off button I can not operate the touch screen (and unlock the phone) and again...only thing I can do is repressed the power button, switch off the screen and re and press for example the "answering" button and I can unlock the phone (in this case the touch screen is operable).
I tried the following:
-change the rom to last energy and dutty v11,change couple of time the radio version, format the memory card,operate the phone without sim card and memory card but no change.
Last I installed the original rom from HTC...and still the problem persist...I start to think is something related to the hardware..could be???
Any idea?
Other question why after I installed the original rom I can still see the hspl 2.08 if I switch on the phone keeping the volume down?
Thx guy!

it has to be hardware if the problem occurs with different roms / radios. (a different though similar problem happened with me- eventually it all stopped working.) i would try to return it...
no matter what rom you have you can enter bootloader (like you said with volume down) and see what spl (or hspl) you have. if you flashed the original rom from your pc hspl will still be there; if you flashed from your sd card it is likely back to spl.
cheers.
yep it's a hardware problem. i know because this just happened to me last week, except that the start menu would pop up instead... i did multiple hard resets but nothing. t-mobile said it's a common issue with our phones though your the only other case of this happening that i know of... other than me lol. you'll have to get a new leo
so if I have properly understood your verdict is to flash original rom from the SD and return the phone to HTC get it fixed (it is obviously still under warranty!!),,,right?
How strange.
My HD2 has just started to do the exact same thing. When WinMo boots the screen works fine but when it has been in standby and i press a key to waken it up, the screen does not respond.
I have done a hard reset also and it is still not playing up.
Looks like i'll need to call the insurance company.

yes.
flashing from the sd should get rid of the hspl so all should be back to normal (i would double check though with a quick launch into bootloader...)
good luck!
damn I have the same issue right now. i thought it might have been a bad rom that i flash. i have to reset my phone every time i want to you use it. I cracked my screen so I don't know if that would void any mfg warranty on it.
Sent my handset to HTC on 8th Sept. Got it back on 28th Sept with new screen and new outer case which had a few chps and scratches.
All working fine again. Long time to wait tho. A day off 3 weeks
I am having this exact same problem. I had a feeling it was the hardware after it started doing it in Windows as well as Android. If we didn't purchase the insurance from T-mobile do we send the phone back to HTC via our T-Mobile store. I have had the phone for about 6 months now. Is it a costly fix?
Hey guys i have the samsung galaxy tablet 10.1 model gt-p7510ma and the screen wont turn on. One day i accidentally hit the power and the volume buttons and now this device's screen wont turn on! I am at a complete loss as to what could be wrong. i was told that i may have to flash it back to factory to get it to work but i cannot find any stock rom download links. i have never dropped this thing so i dont know why the screen would just go out.
Does anyone have any suggestions tips or things that i may try to get this thing back operational? Right now it is just a 500$ brick. Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
EDIT: when you hook tab up to computer it shows up as APX in device manager under unknown devices. I dont know if this helps but that a little more info.
Steve
have you tried charging it?
Apart from that I believe this is non-dev related, should go to Q&A section.
It might be that your device has hung. Press Power button and keep it pressed for 10seconds or something like that. And then try to turn it on again.
Sometimes it hangs like that. Especially if you are on some unstable custom rom.
/Edzz
it is actually running the stock rom I never rooted it or anything like that. To the guy above, of course I tried charging it that didn't work. It doesn't even show that it is charging on the scree. I have pressed and held the power button trying to get it into bootloader mode, but that did nothing. Wonder why the computer is picking it up as APX. Wonder what that is? Thank for the suggestions so far!
If you are on stock and not even rooted, then just take it back to shop or service for warranty. You will get if fixed immediately or working back in a week. Better play safe.
In your case I would do so.
/Edzz
black screen and apx on the computer usually means you're in the mode needed for nvflash.
i forget how to get out of that mode, but google nvflash and apx you should be able to get an answer.

Hey guys,
I've been having this same problem the last 24 hrs or so now. I'm running custom rom Cynagoen mod ICS 4.03. This is apparently one of the more stable roms out there. Prior to this I ran an alpha stage jelly bean rom which ran just fine until last night. After leaving the screen off for an hour or so, the screen won't turn on after pressing the power button. I reboot every time and that seems to work. Is there something I need to do here? Should I look for another rom, maybe a 3.x? Thanks guys

Maybe try upgrading your CM9 install. 4.0.4 is the latest flavor of ICS.

You could try reading the entire thread. Hold the power button down while touching the screen. That fixes the SOD (Sleep of death).
