MY screen backlight will not turn off. It goes from dim to bright, every few seconds. I cannot get it to turn completely off either, when i hit the endcall key the screen goes black then it comes right back on by itslef. I have no programs running in the background. I have soft reset the phone, even taking the battery out. The screen goes off fine while charging. I have also tried cleanRAM on level 3, with no sucess. I dont have any special ROM, just CHT2 and various mods. Any help please!
I know you probably do not want to hear this, but if you have checked your display settings and the are all good. Then it is probably time for a hard reset.
yea, i was starting to mentally prepare for that now. the problem is seeming to "chill out" alittle. its not doing it as bad as it was yesterday. i thought it fixed itself for awhile today, then it started doing it again. it drains my battery so fast when that happens. its like a pulsing from dim to bright until i push any button or on the screen. thanks for your help. if you think of anything else let me know.

If a hard reset didn't help you, then you have a hardware issue for sure.
i've noticed on mine, if it starts acting up. I put it on the charger for a sec. then it acts normal after i disconnect it. Do you think this could be from water damage? I havent gotten any water on my phone that i know of, though.

Kinda sounds like you may not be getting correct voltage to your screen or out of your battery. I say this cause you mentioned plugging in your charger helps for a little while. Have you had a good look at your battery pins on your HD2?
There is nothing wrong with pins...Today my phone work better....But still sometimes keep screen on...what a mystery...
did a hard reset, nothing changed. called tmobile, got a replacement coming, no charge. guess thats the only way.

You can remove HSPL and revert it back to SPL by using the HSPL utility, remember it asked which version you want to install. Just click on the link in my sig for HSPL. and download it. Then rum the utility and select the correct SPL version for your current ROM.
Or flash the stock ROM for your HD2 via SD card. Go to the link below to learn how.

Hey
After 2 years of using my HTC HD2 I have a problem with ON/OFF key.
It just stop working. I think it's not a key problem, because even if it's not responding if I'm pressing it it's sometimes turn my phone ON or OFF by itself.
I would live with that, letting him to just turn OFF after one minute not using it and turn it ON be pressing any other key but it also drains battery a lot.
Even if I'm not using it (during the night) the battery power in the morning is about 35% (after full charge in the evening).
I thought it might be some OS problem so I have done hard reset and went back to default OS.
This fixed the problem, but after 2 weeks it's back again.
Is there someone out there who had this problem?
Does anyone know any solution?
Thanks

the same here. this is a hardware fault. i have luck. my hd2 is in warranty. hope yours too.
regards, interceptor
Yeah, it looks like a hardware problem but there is a strange thing. When I take the battery out for an hour or longer and then put it back in, everything works as normal for some time (an hour or so). Isn't it strange?
So now I'm thinking about two solutions.
Disassemble my HD2 and take a look at it from inside
or
just check and install Android on it (maybe its not a hardware issue)
Do you know where can I find assemble instruction for HD2?
I have unscrewed those 4 screws but don't know what next. Cant find any snaps.
I'm not worrying about disassemble it as I have done it with my previous HTC HD and it's very simple, until you know what to do.
Edit: I have found disassembling and assembling instruction video on YouTube.
I put here links to it if someone need it
Disassembling - http://youtu.be/cL-jnUKufC4
Assembling - http://youtu.be/t8Q7mXdcJ54
I think it's time to try to fix it.
Or maybe I should get an insurance first?
I'm brand new to HTC devices so I'm unsure if the dialer is sense or if this is a ICS dialer were dealing with. (My old phone was a Droidx, so my exp is with blur and asop 2.3 from liberty).
Either way though i seem to have come across an interesting "bug" or at least unusual behavior.
I've noticed on almost every other call, weather it's incoming or outgoing, the MOMENT you dial/answer the screen goes dark. Now i can press the power button to wake it up again and it will stay on for exactly 5 seconds before going dark again. If i flip on speaker phone the screen will stay on, however the moment i turn off speaker phone it goes dark again.
Whats really annoying is if i go back to the home screen it still goes dark after 5 seconds but now when i wake it up it's at the lock screen. If i try to unlock it the moment i touch the screen it goes dark. No matter where i touch the screen the phone is now perma locked until the call is finished.
Now like i said this happens every other call so far in the 6 times I've tested this, which i thought was really odd. The other times the screen stays on and acts completely normal no matter what i do while a call is active. Fresh reboot makes no difference. I haven't done a factory reset yet as I'm trying avoid that.
What i have done so far is unlocked the bootloader, Flashed recovery, and the root from con247's thread in the dev section. I don't think that has anything to do with it though since i noticed the screen going black during a call before i started messing with bootloaders/recovery/root. I just didn't test it as well before doing those things cuz i didn't think anything of it.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior and does anyone have any suggestions?

Sounds like the proximity sensor is going wonky. You might try a factory reset and without installing anything else see if you get the same issue. Also, make sure that any programs you have installed are not affecting it for some reason.

Just factory reset it, skipped setup completely and started making calls, same issue. You maybe right about the sensor though. The first call acted up like i explained. The second call the screen was staying on like i expected, but once i switched speaker phone off and then back on the screen shut off and started acting like call one again.
I just got this phone 6 hours ago i wonder how hard it will be to convince verizon there's a hardware fault. I guess i'd better unroot it and remove recovery so i can call in the morning.
Void4ever
I just wanted to make sure i understand this before i do it.
To remove the root i need to install the RUU for the phone, which i found at http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13550-Asian-Shooter-goes-ICS-and-a-VZW-Fireball-RUU (second link i assume).
I haven't downloaded it yet, but it's an exe. Will it flash the phone via USB, or does it just extract something i can use recovery to flash with?
Once i get the root removed i just need to flash back the original recovery and i should be good to go right?

There are directions in the RUU that will explain all of the steps. You will connect your phone with the USB cable.
It shouldn't be to hard to convince them. Just show them the steps you did to reproduce the issue. Good luck.
On the phone right now and the guy is setting up overnight sat delivery to my house. We are a fairly large business account so i'm glad they are going that extra mile.
Just to note I've noticed the sensor doesn't shut off after a call is complete. In fact it stayed on last night for around 6 hours before finally turning off. I did another test this morning and once again the sensor is stuck on, so good call. Thanks so much for your help, i never would have thought sensor, it seemed like a software issue to me!

So a long while back when I was hacking my phone, I was using MAGLDR, I installed something else yet I can't recall it. The screen went white and that wouldn't turn on anymore. I charge it, yet, when I turn it on, I hear a very faint buzz and that's all. I dont't remember much on the stuff I did or anything else and I pretty much gave up on this phone for years but now I really it and I want to use this phone than all this new ones. Could any one help me in this situation?

I guess you have tried getting to 3 colors screen? And when you turn it on only a buzz comes out, nothing else? like the HTC logo, boot screen?

Hi all
Sorry for a newbie question.
I have a Sony Z Ultra which I really like, but recently the screen sometimes just starts rolling for no reason. I cannot read anything, and it often does not stop. I turn the screen off, then on, and it often doesn't show anything but then it does it is still rolling. I have to hard reset, and even then have to do that a few times before it starts up normally. It seems to be happening more frequently. Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks so much
Craig

Rolling back? Screenshot

It is more like rolling upwards, like an old tv that is not tuned to the channel properly (I am showing my age here because I still remember that)
I cannot take a screenshot because everything on the screen rolls, so cannot access the screenshot function or anything else for that matter.
I have found that when it happens I bend the phone backwards a little and it stops. This makes me think that perhaps the case may be slightly bent from a drop or from having it in my pocket which is somehow causing the problem.
It is not doing it now; I hope it won't return

From what you describe it sounds like your flex cable is causing the issue.
If that's the case, I could be wrong you can take it apart or return it to Sony. I'd just buy a new one. Sounds like a flex cable issue to me
A final development in the story of my phone. The rolling came back, got worse, and then I had times where I would push the power button to light up the screen out of power-saving screen off mode, and nothing would happen. The back-light would light up, but just a blank, black screen...
I sent it to the repair center and the quote came back. It would need a whole new screen.
The cost was going to be pretty high, so I looked online and bought a whole new phone for only 60 cents more than the repair quote!
I just hope my new phone lasts longer than the old one
Hey,
i am having some trouble with my Le Max 2. My screen does not wake up anymore, but the phone is still active. This especially takes place, when the screen is off for more than 5 minutes or so. Then i only get a black screen and hear the unlocking noise, but i cannot see the content any more. Backlight is working, but only a black screen. Whatsapp Web, etc. still works when the screen wont turn on. The only thing i can do then is to press the power for 10s to force a restart. Then everything works like a charm until the screen is of for a specific time.
I already flashed new ROMs (RR Nougat, MIUI Marshmallow) both dirty and clean. Also did multiple full wipes. problem is still there. Anybody of you already had something similar?
Do you think its HW or SW related?
Thank you so much

I tried going back to stock. But i am pretty sure now its some HW issue. The screen just wont turn on when the phone itself is cold. When i pull it out of my pocket and its kinda warm, it works like a charm.
But if it is sitting on the table / i have it in my hands outside - the screen wont turn on anymore. If its too cold it wont even reboot...
Stange problem - could there be any loose solderings or something?

Especially since it was fine, and is hit and miss with the problem.
Is it within warranty?
