I have been tampering with my hero the last few days and now i have a problem. The part of the screen where the "^ phone + " is, is not working anymore. Even if i disable sense. When i'm in a game, that part works just fine. And when i press "menu" that part woks aswell.
I've put back backups wich didn't have the problem.. buit the problem persists. 'm wondering whether this could be hardware related. And what i can do softwarewise to resolve it.
Has anybody heard of a similar problem before?
(i'm on modaco 2.9 atm)
edit: when i wipe and install a new udate.zip (for instance 1.6 ion) the problem persists.
are you talking about the screen not working (e.g. a black bar, weird lines or something) or the TOUCH not working (e.g. graphics are fine, but screen is not responding in the lower area)?

Oh sorry, that was unclear. The display is fine. Touch is not working.
So, did a wipe. Did a rom update. did a radio downgrade. All these things did not solve my problem. Maybe it IS hw related? Should i contact HTC?
I also got the same problem : very few time, the bottom part works... I just sent email to HTC (in French, because I am ), I'm waiting the answer...
i have that issue too since last week. i made this video.

Often this needs sent off to HTC to get fixed, from what I've heard

I have this occasionally (increasingly) problem where either the keyboard will not work or my scroll wheel will keep on scrolling or the select will keep on selecting. has anyone else seen this? I am using the latest PTTfix and that could be the problem?
The first thing that should be done is to determine whether this is PTTFix's or the ROM's fault, versus a hardware problem. See what happens when you uninstall PTTFix, and if at all possible, what happens when you install a different ROM. If you still have that problem, then it's a hardware issue. (I apologize if you were not looking for generic troubleshooting techniques)

I'm using a similar setup, and the worst of my problems have been the screen alignment issue so many people have experienced. This started recently for me - I thought I was off the hook, even though my serial number was one of the affected ones...
@richy240 what does your SN start with and how long have you been using your Hermes before the SA problem happened? I might eventually run into the same problem... but that's definitely hardware, not software.
i have had this problem with both hermes that i have had... even without third party apps.. what i found to solve the issue is to use my thumb and hit all the keys on the dpad (i have a fat thumb ), center, up, down, left, right, all at once and then my keyboard starts working again..
Heh, reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer got "hyperobesity"...
The fingers you have used to dial... are too fat. To order a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your hand now.

i wouldnt blame it on black... i experienced this all the time with all roms on my 8525, now i have a tytn also and starting to experience the same issue... just started happening not even using wm6 yet... seems to be a hardware fault!
I post this question on few ROM threads, and hoped, that with new ROM version it will dissappear. But, neither with PROven 3.2 neiter with ROMeOS 1.95.3, it still persist.
Sometimes - many times a day - hardware button get mixed. For example "phone up" turns into left, od stop working etc.
It is ROM independent and I'm affraid, it is hardware problem to the servise...
Has anyone similar problem?
No one has similar problem, so it is probably hardware problem. So it needs TP to send to service...
I use my HTC Hero with careful and never drop it. Everything was just fine until 3 days ago, when I texted a message, i noticed that the screen didn't response with my finger. I touch on line on the top of keyboard ( Q-W-E-R-T-Y...) but all it response was Enter, Backspace, Space, Settings...( all the buttons at bottom ) and type automatically when I don't touch the screen anymore ( it just auto-type all the icon at the bottom). And it appear at least 5times each day. When I got this problem, I lock the screen and then unlock the screen, do that for 3-4times and that weird things disappeared.
I tried factory reset over 3 times and re-calibrate many times but it useless. My phone is using Official Rom and haven't rooted yet. Yesterday, i tried to rooted it and installed another Custom Rom to see whether this problem will be solved or not, but it still the same. Does anyone ever have this problem? Please help me.

THanks, I've read it but all I saw in that thread is that people get issues about they cannot touch the bottom screen all the time, but for me-it still works, just get weird for sometimes, so I wonder if anyone knows how to fix it? Or let me know is it the software problem or hardware problem?
the main easy solution would be re-flash

Hi there!
First time I need to make a topic, as I don't find the answer anywhere..
Had my Touchpad since about two weeks.
However the accelerometer has not functioned at all since I got it.
First thing to check is the auto rotation lock -> it's turned off
Second thing I did was download a sensor visualizer app -> Seismograph.. This shows very weird results for the x-axis (see attached file), fyi, the Y and Z-axis functioned as expected..
Then the third thing I tried, Need For Speed Hot Persuit... A game that uses the X-axis accelerometer (right!?)
This works brilliant!
Other things I have done to troubleshoot this:
Restart the device.
Full reset the device.
Run HP doctor.
All have failed in resolving my problem.
As I've bought the touchpad from a french webstore (fnac.com), HP Netherlands (where I'm from) tells me I need to get back to them for a solution, as they don't offer worldwide repair (unlike ASUS for example).
Fnac.com has not answered to my request to exchange the product (2 days after I got it). And actually I just want to solve it myself if possible, bought it for fun anyways (and reading of course xD)
Any ideas how I can make the OS recognize the accelerometer?
Last thing, the auto rotation functions in the following way: Tablet is stuck in landscape, I turn to portrait, screen turns as well, but within the second the tablet is back in landscape. This behavior can be read from the seismograph screenshot.
Thanks!
Hello
I just started a new thread for a different accelerometer problem (it is just dead)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284760
Was wondering how you ended up fixing your problem.
thanks
Just wanted to ask you the same question...
I still have the same problem. Need to contact Fnac.fr, but my french sucks and my time is scarce. So have been postponing this. My unit actually came DOA.. however Fnac didn't respond to my request, and has now asked me to call them.. sucky service
You have no solution I guess?
Well this is odd..
Out of nothing the auto rotate function is working since today.. I noticed it while reading a PDF in Android. Booting back to WebOS didn't make a difference, the sensor is working again
I've got no clue what did the trick.. I have not updated the kernel or something like that lately.
I wonder if the sensor was kicked back into action by brute force (for instance my cat jumping on the tablet..)
Anyway, problem soved for now =D
First of all, sorry for my english cuz is not my mother language.
I bought used Evo 3D and now i have problem with him. Problem is with touch screen. When i want to click on navigation bar then automaticaly jump to system bar and want open slider or jump to icon below. I don't know if is software related or hardware. When i bought phone was on stock rom and with same issue. I was think this is software related so i flashed to stock one more time. No change. So i flashed to Cool ICS, downgrade from 1.53 to 1.49 with wire trick, s-off and other stuff and problem still persist. This problem is in games too, like NFS. In this "not working area" is steering wheel and this steering wheel work fine to left, but to right is dead. Trouble is when you want write some text and this text contain character a. When i press once then phone create two character but not every time.
What i can do? Is this area software blocked or on my phone don't work because of bad digitizer. Otherwise phone work normal i think (first android phone). Phone have still 10 month warranty, but in my country is service point realy bad and some users wrote the repair time is 50+ days (information on internet).
I have video with my problem:
youtube.com/watch?v=6JffAk64ppw&feature=youtu.be
seems hardware problem to me because if it was software a game would work with no problem
