Need Help! screen problem with VOX

hello guys, my first post to this great forum
first of all, i just recentrly bought a HTC S710 /VOX phone
great smartphone in fact, but the problem is
sometimes, when i press a button, the screen just goes black,
the phone continues to run though, i can receive calls, access programs and all, but i just cant see.
but, if i wait a couple of seconds till the screen "darkens" to start saving battery, the screen now shows in full color, after that, i have to wait for the phone to stay completely dark in screensave mode, otherwise, if i click a button before, it shows the screen in full color but right after it darkens again...
can someone find me a solution for this? im really desperate.
as i said, the phone continues to run normally, the screen just darkens, stays black, have to wait a couple of seconds for it to return to normal
much appreciated
anyone?

Anyone know something?
now i spent the whole weekend without the screen going black.
bust just right now, after i syncronised it with my pc... the screen went black again,
turned off the phone, and turned it on again, and the problem was gone...
any ideias for a solution?
much apreciated
cheers

problem still persists
but now, its not that often...
it can go by 2 days without the screen going black
but when it does, its really annoying :S
any ideas?

I have the same problem with my Vox. I tried:
-various rom updates,
-disabling the light sensor and
-messing arround with all other backlight/powersave settings.
Nothing worked. Ideas anyone?

problem still persists today any hopefull ideas?

if hard resets have not helped and you have tried other roms, then the problem is with the device not the os.
so for this you might want to contact the htc service. no other solution.

tks for the tip prajith
guess i'm in no luck then
i've tried hard reseting, changed the rom
but since i reside in Maputo - Mozambique
we don't have a htc center here
maybe in south africa our neighbour country
but anyways, guess ill just have to get used to it
tks

oh alright.
so where did you buy your device from? can't you ship your device for service. it does sound like a irritating problem to live with.

Newbie - Need Help - WHITE SCREEN

Hello guys,
My XDA Orbit 2 suffers from a malfunction on its start up, it loads with a white screen, I can not see the normal boot up screens. I have to wait until the green light flashes then tap the power button to put phone into standby then bring it back out again..
I was looking to flash the rom back to original state but I have no idea where to start..tried to do HardSPL but fails due as when it goes out of WM6 screen I can not see what it is doing..
Someone please help...

More Informations needed
Hi djmetsandy!
Please tell us which ROM u actually have. When flashed any cooked ROM before you only need to connect the phone via USB and flash the new one (or original).
More when u post more infos.
So far
Frank

I have the same problem after Hard-SPL except I can barely see the phone is booting. Any help will be greatly appericate. Thanks

Mine does it too!!! please help!
First I would like to specify that I am a Noob so please be patient with me!
I bought my XDA O2 Orbit 2 ridiculously cheap at my local cash converters "unlocked" according to their advertisement. When I bought it, it already had this white screen on boot but everything else worked so I bought it thinking that I would be able to fix it somehow. I have since upgraded it to the official O2 WWE 6.1 rom. I would like to put HardSPL on it and use cooked roms but obviously without being able to see the bootloader I can't do the HardSPL. Every now and then it will show the bootscreen properly and if I go to the device info app in settings all the radio numbers and everything is fine (no corrupted numbers). What is mtty, where can I download it, and will I be able to use this to fix it and how?
Any help would be great as I really do like this phone it's just an annoying little problem.
For reference here is the device info:
rom version: 3.13.206.0 WWE
rom date: 09/01/08
radio version: 1.59.42.15
protocol version: 25.85.30.07H
Please help me because my phone is not covered under warranty as I bought it secondhand.

I've fixed my white screen, not that I knew it was going to fix it.
I cracked the LCD of my phone at work, so I decided to fix it. In the process of swapping the LCD my white screen problem has gone.
I can't say exactly why it fixed it but I did notice that my original LCD had rounded corners and the new one has square corners. I suspect either a bad batch of screens or a bad connection.
I would like to point out that taking the phone apart will void your warranty and potentially damage it if you don't know what you're doing.
Not sure if this will be the fix for your problem but it worked for me.

My PDA screan has lost some sensitivity. Everything else is working order...

So I have a pda (xda) Orbit 2, it’s from O2. While I was at Glastonbury 08 towards the end of the festival I found that I couldn't unlock the phone. I.e. you would press unlock (bottom left button) and then confirm that you want to unlock the phone. This is the standard way to unlock the phone normally. So the problem then was that it had the unlock at the bottom at the left but you can't click on it :s. Ok it was the last day so I just thought it'll work by the time I get home just leave it turned off. Got home charged it worked perfectly.
Now I’ve that problem once since then. Fixed the problem the same way. Plugged it into the mains bobs your uncle it fixed it.
This time its different I have tried everything. Soft reset, taking about the battery, charged it fully and let the battery die out complete. Nothing will get rid of this problem I just can't unlock my phone. I can still receive calls but can't read text's emails. Very frustrating. If people haven't got clues its off to 02 flash the phone loose everything then tell me they have no idea what is wrong with it. Hell I can flash the phone myself O another key factor is i know the screen still has sensitivity becuase when i touch the screen a similar screen to that of the unlock screen comes up, only without the unlock button.
Anyway any thoughts anybody?

ok Chang phones touch screen
ok i think your phones touch screen is gone plese chang the touch screen

lol, easily said. That would be a rather large pain i have to say cheers for the reply though
Incase i didn't make it clear everything on the screen is fine. I thought maybe i had aligned my screen some how just very very badly.

of which i fully appreciate. But changing an entire screen is a pain which ever way you look at it.

no not changing the entire screen
bro you need to chang the only touch panel not the screen, screen and touch panel r the diffrent T.P is mounted on screen and you can chang it withc good hardware guy.

Orbit 2 White Screen need help.

Hi all.
I recently came into the posession of one of these awesome devices.
my only problem is that when turned on, the screen comes on but is just pure white.
the device seems to boot up ok as you can hear all the noises in the background, also the digitizer works as the backlight comes on when you touch the screen and you can hear windows mobile clicking away.
could this be the lcd thats broken? or could it be an issue with the mainboard?
anyone have any ideas? or have had the same problem?
i just dont wanna go out and buy a new screen to find out thats not the problem lolol.
(btw i have tried hard reseting multiple times and that dosent seem to be the problem)
thanks all.

Um how du know that you have HR properly if you cannot see the screen, or can you see it on the HR screen?
Also if you can can you see the bootloader, and have you tried a different rom, never know it may work

heya chris, thanks for the reply.
reason i know it has hard reset ok is i used a htc touch next to it to guage where the setup screen (screen calib etc) buttons were and tapped on the digitizer unitll it got to the main screen and reset itself after customisation (took friggin aages to do that lol)
then managed to fudge it to get media player running by using the arrow buttons etc.
sayin that what combo of buttons do youse to HR. ill give it a try if theres another way ;-)

For me its ok and windows key, the one beneath the send and end keys
Then when booted it will say "blah" and press send to restore. Press send then it will take about 15 seconds or so to restore then it reset's and boots up again.
To do the bootloader its the camera button and reset, but i dont know if thats helpful if you cant see the screen!!
Um is it still under warrenty if so go that route and if not try taking it apart and then try to see if any of the screen connectors are loose i think that someone has done this already on here with pictures if you want some help with it.

tried the hard reset again and still met with the same white screen. dang...
as for warranty, its an ex business phone i got through my work so no warranty, and i have since stripped it down 3 times to look for faults.
have tried slotting the ribbon cable in and out of its socket and had no luck.

hmm i would say maybe new motherboard or screen, which you prob already know by now.
Apart from that im out of ideas as to what to say would be a solution for the problem with it or how to fix it without replacing parts

cheers for all your help chris.
i think ill just have to take the dive and order a new screen.
god i hope its the screen lol

How to open the case?

Hi everyone,
yesterday my htc falled on the ground. since this happend, the display is Black, but the background LED light if the phone is on. I hope, that just the display connector is unpluged, therefore I downloaded the service manual, but the opening fails. Does anybody ever open his Raphael. And the problem is I dont have this flat plastik white thing shown on the pictures in the manuel. If anybody can help me, thanks

hope this helps!

thank you that worked but I couldn't get to the display connector without having a star-screwdriver....
And not sure that it is just a loose cable.
What can it be?? Display is not damaged, backlight works, just the panel doesent changes the pixel.
Anybody had this issue one time before?
thanks
