Here is what happened. I wasn't receiving voice calls, but it would go to voice mail. I checked my settings nothing there that should have stopped calls. So I tried calling myself from my work phone and some error came up and asked me to force close, so I did. Then I decided to turn my phone off and start it back up. Now this is the real problem. It looks like it's going to start up but after the Galaxy S screen it just goes black and I can't do anything from there. I've tried holding the volume buttons and then power, same result.
I'm about to call Bell to see if they can do anything. Hopefully it's something they can fix over the phone. Probably not though.
just call in and let them know that it freezes at start up and they will exchange, but try to press both volume buttons (up and down) and then power but don't let go until it blinks once and it comes back and then let go... you should get some options to do a master reset.

i tried that and still nothing. it really sucks that where i live is a small town and we don't have an actual bell store, just a furniture store that sells the phones, so the ppl there don't know anything about the phones.

I fell asleep next to my phone one night and when i woke up and tried to wake up my phone the volume menu opened up and acted like if i was pressing the volume bar repeatedly. I turned it off and on again and once it boots into Windows the same thing, if i try to press volume down it will and it will go right back up again. The Volume rocker button is fine and not stuck. I found out though if i hold up and down before windows mobile boots up it will allow me to operate as normal but once i let go It goes back to the volume going all the way up. I have flashed different roms to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas to what could be causing this?
I just started having the same problem with a Samsung Omnia 7. It fell into some water, let's say it was a bucket, i pulled it apart and thoroughly dried it. Seemed to work perfectly for a few hours, now the volume thing.
Our HD2's hard buttons are not invincible and I learned that the hard way. After lots of use on my phone the send, home, end, and volume down buttons stopped working. I also believe my end button is stuck on because it always boots up on its own, meaning I can't shut it down and leave it off. I have to take the battery out of it.
My advice is if you can find a way to use "soft" buttons to navigate your phone do it and save yourself the hassle of breaking the hard ones for when you need them. Good luck!
HD2 Volume Stuck on UP

I had a few drips of water it my hd2 and a couple days later, I rebooted and after it rebooted, the volume is stuck on UP. I took it apart. I has nothing to do with the button itself as I removed the button and it's still stuck. Still no solution yet.
Hi,
Did anyone find a solution for this? I had to hard reset my HD2 couple of days ago. After the reset, I installed all the apps, one after another. The phone worked fine for a day, until this afternoon when it started acting crazy. First symptom was that when you type some numbers of the "Phone" screen to look up a contact, I was not able to delete the using the back button. Other keys like up, down, left, right too didn't work in the SMS compose screen. I restarted the phone thinking that it would resolve the issue, but worse. The volume control showed up just after the boot and the "volume up" tone was constantly going off as though I was pressing the volume-up button constantly. I tried rebooting and remove the battery, SD etc, uninstalled few programs, but to no avail.
Request help from senior members...
I have 2.2 stock OS, been working fine for long time, but last weekend I dropped the phone. Since then (I have powered off/on and taken battery out a couple times but no difference), the phone no longer recieves phone calls -- no ring or missed call notification; callers get sent to voicemail after 1-2 rings, and the voicemail notification does show up immediately.
2 other symptoms are that the lock screen no longer displays (phone goes straight to home screen when I press the power button), and pressing the power button for a second only shows me the Power Off option (previously it had options for Airplane mode and Data Off as well).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Shaun
That's weird. I'd flash a different ROM and see if it works then. I have no idea why it would power up and skip the lock screen.
For the phones calls I'd think may e it messed up the SIM reader. Maybe its fitting in there funny now, or maybe its broken altogether. Maybe a fresh install of something would alleviate some symptoms and give us a clue as to what really is going on.
You were just sliced bread before you were burnt by the toaster.
Ive been messing around with this for a few days now with no luck.
My was acting sluggish a few days back so i restarted it. Well low and behold Im getting the "Starting RSD protocol support" message on top of the dual core logo now.
I've searched around, and have have tried all i can think of. I have SBFed the phone multiple times, using the tutorial here, with no luck.
After SBFing the phone it just returns to the same state.
The battery IS fully charged, so we can rule that out. Maybe, just maybe, the volume toggle is stuck but it clicks up and down with no issues.
Anyone have any ideas? Ive been pulling my hair out on this one. Phone is on Verizon prepaid so its grandfathered in at 95/month UNLIMITED data , and they dont seem to willing to let me switch back to my Droid X or anything else for that matter.
Thanks in advance for anyone with ANY ideas or suggestions.
edit as a side note i have been rooted for 6 months no issue/and am on Eclipse. I had not changed any settings in a few months and had not installed any apps in a few week. This was pretty out of the blue.
My first thought (before I read you had this thought also) was that your volume up button might be stuck. Or the trigger inside anyway. If thats the case, you will probably have to find a way to get that button off but I have no idea if thats possible without breaking your phone. Other than that, I dont know what else could cause it. Especially if you SBF and it still does it.
Try this to see if you have a faulty volume button. Turn the phone off and turn it back on while holding the volume DOWN button. I forget what the first option is but it will say something at the top. first of all, if your volume button is stuck in the up position, it might start whatever the first option is. If not, press the volume down button until you get to Android Recovery. Then press up. If you do this, I'm guessing your volume up button is working as it should. Pressing up will start the recovery. When you see the triangle image, press volume up and volume down at the same time. try wiping cache and data and restart and see if that does anything.

Yeah, I should have included that, it wont go into recovery by pressing the down button while turning on. Guess it might be the actual switch. Anyone have any ideas on that?
edit And suprise if you hold the up button while turning on you get the RSD support msg! (if its working properly) Its gotta be something hardware at this point. i hope not...
Yeah, if you hold Up while powering on, it will start RSD automatically. If you hold down, it gives you other options to scroll through. It could very well be hardware related if that isnt working. Unless someone else has anything else to say about it.

Sorry I am not familiar with this. Sometimes though my screen does become unresponsive when trying to pull up the keyboard to text or to email someone. I hit the "input" area again and again but no response. Then if I power off the screen, and turn it back on and then go to the data input area, it magically works again. BUT, I can move up/down and the home button and everything works.
- It should be noted that I am running Beans 20 on vzw.

iv tried multiple roms so i believe its not a rom issue.
Guys i was in my settings a few minutes ago and i came across a feature which enabled me to open up my notifications by just tapping the screen so i enabled it and went to the homescreen to test it! Upon tapping the screen the phone started maing a beeping noise and a blue line started scrolling continously downward on the screen! I cant turn the phone off ! I only seem to be able to reboot it which doesnt help! I needto power the phone off i assume and then maybe do a hard reset??? Advice needed please
anyone?
What setting did you access I don't believe anybody will be able to help if we don't know where you went and what you changed. The things you mention are very vague and don't really paint a picture of what is happening.
Also if you want to turn the phone off without using the on screen settings just hold onto the power button for about 10 seconds it should turn off, after that hold power, home button, and volume up to go into recovery to reset or what ever it is you please.
Also is it showing you an X and Y axis? If so then you just go into settings, developer settings, show screen updates and turn that off the grid should go away. I am not sure what your issue is but that seems like the most likely option.
