since 2 days ago my fone started acting wierd, when i try typing a new messege i press on the keypad but the letters and numbers dont appear on the screen, my fone vibrates as i text but nothing comes up, it takes it 5-10+ minutes till i can finialy type a single text before it does that again. the same thing aplies to making fone calls, i swipe the screen to make the call, or try putting in the numbers thru the keypad, but nothing comes up, it takes a while for the fone to eventualy make that call if ever, the time on my fone stays falling behind by 10-30minutes, i downloaded a safe feature for my fone thats an antivirus, supposedly to be good, my firends use it, every time i run a scan nothing appears,i tun it off and wait a bit to turn it back on, only then does it not mess up for about 3 minutes then it messes up again. my sister told me she had a similar issue, and she was told to take off the battery for a bit of time and then put it back on, i do that but its the same as turning it off and back on, samme effect, can some one tell me what to do please, if anything at all, thanks to any one who replys back with any help. -Alex.

Restart Phone?
Factory reset?
Maybe, change ROMs
I'm not sure exactly what's the issue, but you could try the above said methods to see whether its a software issue, and if the problem stays the same, maybe its an hardware issue, and you maybe required to contact the Samsung Service Center.

So here's a peculiar incident:
I have a CDMA TP with a stock ROM and a few basic apps I gathered from these forums and others. I've had it for less than a week.
Tonite, I went to check my text messages. Suddenly, the screen went black and the phone stopped responding. After pressing the power button and fiddling with the keys, I pulled out the stylus and did a soft reset. No response. Confused by this, I tried again, but still nothing. I removed the battery, and turned the phone back on. It froze at the "Touch Pro" screen with the rom/radio/etc info at the bottom. After repeating this a few times I decided to do a hard reset. So, I turn the device on and perform the hard reset. By this point the TP is only turning on SOME TIMES, and I have to take the battery out and put it back in often just to get it to start successfully. So, I finally get the device to boot up and it starts to configure WinMo. Suddenly, while configuring, it freezes. Now I try to turn it back on, and nothing happens.
Basically the device is stuck like this, shifting between not turning on at all and turning on but freezing at the "Touch Pro" screen.
So, my question is, what the heck is going on here? Has anyone else had this problem, or does this sound familiar to anyone? Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
p.s. Yes, the battery is fully charged.

Time to take it in and get a new one.....
Same problem here phone started b not coming out of lock mode. Backlight is on but no display on screen (if i tilt the screen left and right i can see light coming from behind) did about 6 hard resets and still same problem. also power button works whenever it wants to. this phone sucks @ss, i want my mogul back. on a second note my replacement will be here on wednesday.
Touch Pro stock rom purchased back in nov when it came out
yeah, i've had the same problem, i found if i hit my phone on the back or side and then batter pull and hit the soft reset while off, not the power button to turn it back on, it comes back on with color on the screen not just blank black screen with backlight, this works mostly every time, but when it doesn't, i just hold the power button down and do battery pull and hit the power button and it works, its like its got a combo of things you have to do before it works.. weird
Boot Up
I have also had similar problems. I for some reason sometimes have to remove my SD card and boot up without it for some reason. Not all the time, but every once in a blue moon. Not too sure how that affects anything, but you may try that too.
well i started a thread here ***help*** because i kinda have the same problem.
i downloaded some cabs, nothing fancy but i had some problems with a theme i downloaded. when i went to deleted i couldnt..... to make a story short, i took it to the sprint store where they tried to do a master reset/ hard reset and it wont take it. it wont do a thing... they say some important files are missing...
the phone works but not the way it should... the time on the home screen wont show up. and some other small things...
dont know how this happened but i would like to know... im worried about new programs to the phone now. ( getting a new one)
still want to see if i can fix this one.

Have you tried re flashing the ROM?
it wasnt HTC's fault for your phone's not booting...thats what happens when u try to mess with the hardware too much and you dont know what your doing
Would you want to sell???
Reboot Brick HTC process
****DOn't take battery out after hard boot***
1.just watch videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk56olMkCtU and do what they do but dont take battery out. LEAVE phone STUCK on BOOT screen. Nothign else will move or work but you want phone just like that.
2. connect usb cable to active sync. (this may not link up but leave usb connected anyhow) Do not delete phone profile.
3.use rom like Download MightyROM6_Herman.exe avail at: http://www.lilrico.com/Mighty/mightyromblog/?p=454
4 although active sync is still attatched but may not be connecting. It will connect thru usb anyway when you run the rom software. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV2I2WAFkg4&NR=1
This worked and kept phone from cutting on and off. and restored ROM. don't know about original htc boot. but your phone will work under this rom for now and you can go from there.
hey thanks plain ole dumb, it works now.
man I thought it was over.
thanks again
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?
so ive been running gingertheory, loving it however recently my phone when im in a call and place the phone away from my face, the screen doesnt turn back on... i have to manually press the power button to bring the screen back to click end call, never did that before, and havent done anything new to the phone recently, also my emails now dont notify me at all unless i manually open the app... any suggestions ?
So, this is my problem.
I turned on TalkBack on my Samsung Galaxy S3 then locked the screen and now I can't unlock my phone to turn it back off. It just continues to read everything from locked screen. My SIM card is locked and it tells me there is no service. I pulled out battery several times but it boots and won't let me go any further than locked screen and TalkBack starts reading everything out loud again. Please help me fix it
Update: I successfully unlocked SIM card but it won't let me go any further than locked screen again.
P.S. Excuse me if I misspell anything, english is not my mother language.
Second Update: I've noticed "Safe Mode" sign in lower left corner. Does it mean anything?
Third Update: I figuered out I need to slide two fingers at the same time to unlock it and move around so I managed to ge to settings and turn off talkback
happened to me as well
I noticed the "Safe Mode" as well.
Happened to me in the airport after I let some old lady call someone in a language I couldn't understand, so I had couple of theories, including the NSA controlling my phone...
Every time I restarted, I had seconds to use the touch screen! that's it.
phone being protected by a pin, meant I couldn't really do anything, but keep restarting.
There was a logo on the top left tray (running apps) that I didn't recognize, which disappeared after a second.
It took at least an hour for it to go back, many restarts, battery out & in, and any trick/buttons combinations that I know in the GS3.
Not sure what really solved it in the end...if it happen again, I am going back to square one.
I really needed to use the internet, but at least, this passed the time until the delayed flight finally came...
happened again. Airport again
Anyone has any idea?
OK so every time i take a picture and lock my phone or every time i send a text msg and lock my phone my phone wont turn on till maybe 30 sec later. I've already factory rest 2 times phone shut down and it keeps happening ... Whats going on here never had this happen to any of my phones.

just saw your other post.. and I'm curious as to if it is "custom", I am guessing it should rooted? Did you try downloading super user or busy box to see if it says "you have to be rooted"?
