Hello guys, im starting to experiance a new problem with my s740, basically what happens is the back arrow button doesnt have any reaction when i press it for particular steps. For example if i dial numbers and press it, it will delete the number and take me back, but when im like browsing or want to go back to the previous screen it has no reaction :-( any ideas? by the way the button is working fine, its not a hardware problem, im assuming its a software/registry issue. Any suggestions?
thanks
Hy!
Sometimes i have the same problem.....a SoftReset should fix it and if it doesn´t you should try a HardReset....its an Software problem......

Hi
Unfortunately I was in the middle of upgrading the software to version 172181 when I decided, for some strange reason, to pick the phone up out of the cradle and make a call. DOH!
I can no longer get the phone to boot up / turn on it is just stuck on the low light o2 backscreen and shows
r 1.17.00
g 1337.20
d 1.72.00wwe
Im quite literally just stuck on that screen, the phone wont seem to reset, reboot or hard reset or turn on or off.
I assume im doing the hard reset correctly on/off button and reset button with stylus.
I did see somewhere to use the on/off button, camera button, record button and reset button with stylus but this does not appear to work either.
I don't know whether the condition is terminal or not but anyone can help i would really appreciate it I have a lot of information on there that is very valuable to me.

would you happen to know if there is any way I can manage my contacts from the pc? i searched activesync and there appears to be nothing there. My old motorola bought up kind of a virtual phone on the pc and managing and adding contacts was easy.

It's bcoz the flashing/upgrading/installing of ur fone seems not to be finished. Always follow instruction. If you really want to do something, think twice so you never messed up. nweiz, try to load it again in bootup mode and re-flash it. there are a lot of ROM for the Himalaya, you can download one. Try to search. again, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!
Very annoying problem this, ive only done the ROM update offered by T-mobile to fix some bugs.
Now it will randomly stop responding when you press any button on the phone it doesnt do anything. If you hold down the power button then tap it again sometimes it comes to life. Ive called it when it does this to try and wake it up as it were or send a text, nothing it doesnt even recognise they have been sent after the restart. All i can do is a soft reset. Anyone have a clue what could be causing this?

I have this problem as well. sometimes pressing the power key all that happens is the keys light up but no response on the screen, you may fin dif you leave it a few minutes it will start to work again. I'm not an expert in these things but it seems to be similar to if you have a faulty memory stick in a pc. I'm on my 5th replacement from HTC on just 6 moth of owning the phone. Its a complete nightmare and renders the phone completely useless. Send it to htc for repair. check any return handsets very carefully they send you as they sent me 3 handsets with the screens incorrectly fitted. Take date stamped pics of your handset also before sending so you can prove the condition of it before it was sent to them.

I am also suffering from this.
Hi,
I've been installing and testing various ROMs for my T-Mobile Leo (HD2) before and never had any problems until now. Problem is, after the last flash, I noticed the phone doesn't vibrate any more, I've checked all the settings and even turned vibrate on/off, nothing helps. Also, if I long press the end key to shutdown the phone, it freezes, I then have to press end to lock, wait about 30 seconds then unlock to be able to use again. Important to note, when the phone freezes, only the touch screen freezes, the buttons continue to work, and I can even call the last party or answer/end calls.
I flashed some older firmwares that I used to use that used to work, but these problems still persist.
Is there any way I can diagnose the phone hardware completely? Any program or tool? I live in Guyana, South America so taking it to a repair centre is not an option, basically, I have to fix it myself.
Did I post this in the wrong thread/forum? Why and I not getting any help?
I'm still having this problem and need help! Somebody... any suggestions???

Mate, honestly, I never notice that it would vibrate on long pressing
As long as your phone is working, then you shouldnt worry about it.
Or else, you can try to restore to original stock rom and see if this is due to hardware problem or software problem
I don't mean that it vibrates on long press. I said that it has stopped vibrating AT ALL!
In addition to that, the phone freezes alot, especially when I long press the end key. It is behaving like a hardware problem, that's why I'm asking about diagnostics for the HD2.
I dont think its anything to do with the rom. I had the same problem with mine, what happens is the flash lens gets pushed inside and stops the vibrator from rotating. Just check the lens if u see it pressed, its an easy fix if u know how to take the phone apart. For instruction check out youtube. I hope this helps.

You should probably read back my post... I said the phone stop vibrating... not that it stop vibrating on long end press... It also freezes when I long end press... Hence, the reason I asked for any diagnostics for the HD2 as I suspect it may be hardware related...

This actually seems to be the problem, I will open the phone and check... Thank you so much for your suggestion, I followed this suggestion, and now the touch screen is not working... but the phone is vibrating again. Any ideas what I will have to change now?
Hi there,
Yesterday i was talking to someone and then the audio cut´s off and never get back again, the other person can hear me but i cant hear them. Anyone know what could be? I root my phone like a week ago and never had any problem, i´m running android 2.1 with 0.504
Any suggestions ?! Anyone had this problem?!
The louder speaker works just fine.
Thank you
Hi,
Go to lockscreen, and press:
1 time home button
2 times back button
1 time home button
1 time back button
2 times home button
1 time back button
you get to service menu. Go to 'Service Tests', and 'Earphone'. Volume Up, and see if You can hear something. If not, theres a hardware issue - You must go to service.
EDIT: Or try to flash phone in SEUS
Is not working, probably a hardware problem.
Thank you anyway
I'm currently having this issue and it's really frustrating, I had it first on the Galaxy S3 with 4.2.1 stock rom, I don't know if it might be an app that might be causing this, basically when i lock the phone the screen turns off but then when i press the power button or the home button to turn on the screen it does not do anything, I know the phone is still on because sometimes if i get a text message i can see the blue led blinking and it will continue to blink even when it's frozen.
The only way to bring it back is by holding the power and home button together in order to reset it.
I tried factory reset and it would not work, I flashed the phone with a custom rom for Paranoid Android 4.3 and it worked great for about a week, no issues at all, but then it started freezing when locked again. I hate this and i'm thinking it might be a hardware issue since I've tried different software versions.

Even worst, if i'm listening to music and i lock the phone or if the screen times out and locks when i try to unlock it i can see it's stuck but the music is still playing....
Also, if the phone is stuck and i try to call it, it will not ring not turn the screen on, it's not like the problem is just the physical buttons, i don't know what to do since the phone is out of warranty, I have never dropped the phone and there is no damage on it, it have never over heat either so i don't know what can i do.....
Any suggestions or help would be really appreciated.

no not yet sorry...

But it's really strange, It is a hardware issue and it should affect all the time, not randomly i would think... I don't know if the problem is with the processor or the buttons, i don't know how to determine that..

The first week with Paranoid Android 4.3 it worked greatm even faster than the stock rom and I also liked it because it is android 4.3, the issue started one week after, and i'm thinking that during the first week i did not install all the apps i use, once i installed all the apps it started happening.
The first time i had the issue was right after the facebook messenger app was updated, i tried uninstalling it and the issue was still happening, if i check the running apps and i can see several of my apps running in the background such as Facebook messenger, Viber, Skype, Avast (6 services) Applock, GO weather EX, whatsapp, Facebook.
Maybe i'm just reluctant to think that this is a hardware issue, cause there is no way for me to get some logs or a hardware report that may show any crashes or anything.. I like this phone, it have everything i need and i refuse to think that it's a piece of crab but i've had nothing but troubles with it since day 1...
I dont think it is SW problem because even flashing multi package stock firmware doesn't fix the issue.I tried replacing lcd and display driver but still remain unsolved.
Edit:I think there is a defective sensor chip which I don't have a unit to test already.
hello, i have same issue, and stil stuck with it, anyone can help me?
