Yesterday morning after charging my phone, no different to anyother day attempted to type password in and nigh on impossible with curson blinking as if I was pressing enter - eventually managed to get in and it was if the trackball was stuck with the cursor moving down in every application making the phone nigh on impossible to use - reset a few times and took battery out and eventually (groan) went for hard reset but still happening - this is really bad and makes it impossible to use - help suggestions please
And threads just below this one another guy has the same problem on the same day it would seem - now that is weird / strange to say the least
I am in the procees of reinstalling the latest O2 XDA software update
16:50 installing latest update made no difference - problem still there
Is there a way you can disable the trackball - then at least can use stlyus / touch flo

Hello all... got kind of a big problem that i at the moment don't have an answer to,..
inastalled advanced configuration tool 3.2 on HTC Polaris, the first crash i had was when I enabled animation for menus... (the start menu turned black and the polaris froze), but when i managed to start the advanced configuration tool i unchecked it and it was ok,...
the MAJOR PROBLEM accured when I set the touch screen sensitivity, because the touch part of the screen is inresponsive,.. meaning it does not work at all,.. tryed very hart pressing but it doesn't do it.. the problem is because i can't reach eg start menu or the lower 2 shortcuts with hard button cursor (the wheel)... gestures work however, so i can call the touch flo cube but am not able to select anything, and sam thing goes for enetering pin,.. so i'm not able to make phone calls at the moment.. did few hard resets, and uninstalled the adv. conf. tool but nothing helped... can anyone tel me where (and how to get there) can i adjust this back to normal, i wanted to do this in the advanced configuration tool 3.2 but the problem is you cant make any changes since the screen doesn't work,.. same with reinstalling the program, i can select to install it on a card but canot "click" on next since the screen doesn't do it and the hard keys "can't go there"
so really really someone help me please...
thnx
Are you sure you hard reset and this problem went away or did you mean soft reset?
Maybe aligning the screen will help reset the pressure? Click the button in the middle of the wheel and the GPS button at the same time, the Windows align screen pops up. See if that helps.
I find it very hard to believe that you hard reset and the touch screen sensitivity is still not there. That can't be right.
Hi,
thanx for the reply,... another problem that accoured afterwards was that my friend held the end button (wich locks the keys, screen) and the phone was additionally locked... and literally nothing (again NOTHING ) helped, spent 5 hours trying to save the situation,.. i did soft reset (so your assumption was right) but when later tryed hard reset it probably wasn't done since the instructions say you do it with holding gps and iExplorer buttons while soft reseting it... this resulted in getting the "hard reset screen" wich says to confirm hard reset with hitting the send button, wich unfortunatelly i wasnt able to find in hard keys, and nothing else but this warning text was on the screen as well.. so in the end it probably ended upo wit soft resetting it, anyways it didn't help,... i decided to reinstall the rom i downloaded on htc official site,... it went thru ok and the phone is , though out of the box at least functional,... but in the end, i must admit that am a little surprised this happened with this tool pack (i actually avoided altering the registers just in order to avoid this kid of situations since i don't really know much about these things)... was expecting it to work (in my case) a bit better, more stable. All i wanted really was to get a bit louder speaker volume when ringing and ability to alter the HTC home toolbar, since i find the weather screen totaly irreliable and never really use it, so i thought I would have sth there that i might really have some use of..
well nevertheless.. the phone is working, that's all that matters at the mom so i can again start finishing my phd wich i am defending in a week
PS. the fact that you can not do practically anything without the touch screen just sucks big time, if i compare it to the mouse on pc,... i saved the situation many times with the keybord .. in 1 word strange
take care

Perhaps you should have tryied out the "My Mobile" aplication that allows you to use your mobile from a PC.
It shows a windows with the mobile screen and you can touch it and use the mobile like if you was touching the REAL mobile...
Late for that solucion, perhaps another with that problem can solve it this way...

@gastonfama: am not sure this would help, since a friend that has htc diamond has this tool pack on and it work k ok on his phone,.. that's why i predicted that it is going to be stable enough on mnie as well,.. so in my thinking, if the 2 htc that are rather alike had such different "reaction", than an emulation would be even less comparable to mine, thanks though
Had the same problem with Schaps_AdvancedConfig and wrong HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold setting.
XML I used had "200" as advised value (system default is 2908!),
after changing you could hit it with a hammer and nothing.
Managed to set is back to recommended value 9000 using MyMobiler app and all problems gone.
See also HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
sys default is 18866, I use now 19866 and I'm happy

I got the same problem, I wanna to install "My Mobiler" but due to the screen is locked, I can't continue the installation, any help ?
well as far as I see here (forgot how i installed it after previous post) you have an exe here :
http://www.mymobiler.com/downsafe.aspx
so you will install it from the pc anyways, but how will you make the confirm on where to install it (mybe if you put storage card out and there will be only 1 memory option, but you will still have to confirm installation i guess).. i wasnt able to confirm without the screen on polaris,.. maybo on some other phone
double post...mistake
I had that same screen not working problem after tweaking the phone with advanced config 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, only hardware buttons work.
Problem can only be solved by Hard Reset. Version 2.2 I think is the only one that works (not thoroughly tested though)
Hi. Can someone please help as I'm new to this this and would very much like my phone to work again...
My Defy kept restarting approximately 5 seconds after starting up. Without being able to access any settings I tried a factory reset via the on button / volume down button. I'm not sure how long this should have taken but decided after a few hours of nothing more than a yellow dot moving across the screen that it wasn't working! Button presses / screen taps had no affect so I pulled the battery.
On powering it up it now either gets as far as the Moto Blur or T-Mobile logos but just hangs there. Further attempts to factory reset give the same result as the first time.
I've noticed two lines of text when accessing the reset screen which read 'E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command' and 'E:Can't open /cache/recovery/caller'. I think these were present at the first attempt but I'm not totally sure of this.
In case it's relevant the phone shipped with Eclair, I changed this to Froyo using the Motorola software upgrade some months ago, it had been working fine since apart from not saving photos (?).
Aplolgies for the essay. Can someone please help?
I have same problem now.....but I didn't find any answer yet. I thought i could be the hardware
Could you try to boot into bootloader then use RSDLite to flash the original SBF to your phone from there? I used to do that in the past with my Milestone.
Hi all,
Some months ago my screen cracked and last week I finally received a replacement screen which I was able to install.
I have been looking for many hours to find a similar case but could only find cases where the touchscreen didn't work at all or intermittently stopped working.
The problem:
I can start my phone, the touchscreen works perfectly.
When I lock the phone and seconds / minutes / hours after I wake it again, the touchscreen stopped working (the power button and volume button still work)
Repro:
1. I replaced the screen.
2. started the phone -> touchscreen is working 100% (i can do everything)
3. I lock/sleep the phone (power button)
4. I unlock/wake the phone (power button) -> touchscreen is not working anymore
5. I restart the phone by taking out the battery and we are back to step 2, it works but stops as soon as I lock it again
What I've tried:
- multiple different roms, all resulting in the same problem
- hard resets / factory resets/ cache resets / dalvik resets
- removing the slide lock
Is there anything I can still try?
Isn't it strange that the touchscreen does work after booting, but the moment it sleeps/locks it stops working
The only way it works is by never putting my phone to sleep, which is not the best solution, right!?
Unfortunately at the support center of the manufacturer they don't know the answer either:

I tried adding a link to a youtube video I made, but I'm unable to add it because of the no. of posts i have.
Does this video help explain the issue, and does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Hi.
My friend give me his old (broken) HTC Sensation 4G.
The problem is that screen is not working - it display colorful noise, touch screen is working.
I tried to go into recovery and magically screen start working properly. I done factory reset, update it to ICS and after night problem came back.
Now I figure out, that :
- I always can go to recovery (this problem never happen there)
- normal boot occurs this problem
- if I wake phone screen light came up, I see colorful noise (for some ms, very short), display is working normally (or not, last part is pretty random)
- if problem occurs it's kind of permanent - I need to go into recovery to "fix" it
I found some threads, but all of them is dead and without solution or "contact HTC support" solution.
Can I fix it at my own ? What cause problem ? - I mean, screen or something at motherboard.
Thanks.
Edit:
I just discover, that :
- if phone is warm it always work
- if I leave it to cool it not work
- In state between cold and hot it still works, but when I press power button I can see static colors and after while it came up
My assumption would be that it's hardware related. Try prying the device, and check the part below the digitizer. Sorry, that's all I could help (I once own a Sensation but never experienced this)
Hi,
My S7 crashed randomly and was stuck in a loop of the recovery menu. The short version is, I was fairly convinced it was a battery issue, and after changing the battery I was able to boot up successfully and (eventually) backup / copy off all my files. It wasn't esasy as it was constantly crashing and very unstable.
So, I did a full factory reset. This was via the settings menu after booting up and logging in because I couldn't access the recovery menu method. Factory reset has not solved my issue is still crashes usually after a few minutes at best.
Things that work
- Screen not broken, works perfectly, no dead pixels.
- No water damage / not dropped
- Volume Up and Down keys work (for volume and force power off when its crashed)
- Speakers / Microphone
- Both Cameras
- Wireless charging
- Cable Charging
- Full factory reset to latest stock android 8. Never rooted. Totally stock.
Things that don't work
- Vol Up + Home +Power to get to recovery menu / safe mode. Never managed to successfully do this
- I think it could be running a bit hotter than before, this may be subjective.
- Sometimes it crashes, screen powers off, but red charging light remains even when unplugged and it runs hot. Basically until the battery dies.
- Often crashes on first boot, e.g. during "samsung" boot screen. - Will restart and often gets to login on second attempt.
I've been testing via the diagnostics menu *#0*# (What a cool feature!) - Generally this is working ok, and nothing jumps out as failing, but its not easy as it crashes so randomly anyway. Can anyone recommend anything specific I should test?
So - Have I got a new Brick? Is there anything else I should do to try to save my phone? If it was smashed I could begrudingly write it off, but its in otherwise perfect condition! (3 months out of warranty!)
First time poster, any help appreciated.
Thanks

Can you flash latest unbranded stock? If still happens then it's battery failing. S7 is old phone now

Thanks, I've replaced the battery with a new one. Tried full factory reset a second time but it crashed and hasn't restarted since.
I think it must be a hardware issue. It thinks its charging when unplugged, gets hot when "off" won't switch off when crashes so need to wait for battery to die before recharging and trying again.
Yes, its old ish, but really only just over 2 years. My S3 lasted 4.5 years so getting half the lifespan from the S7 is really dissappointing. It was in perfect condition until this happened .
