I have a HTC Tytn II and for the past month and a half I have been using the Android OS (Haret) on it. Just a couple days ago it somehow went to the Tricolor screen. I can always boot up Windows Mobile by plugging in the usb charger and then soft resetting it but it I think there is something wrong with my phone. Sometimes my keyboard doesn't work when I'm running Windows and sometimes I cant hear calls. When I boot up Android sometimes the buttons on the front wont work with the exception of the directional buttons. Every time I reset it, it goes to the Tri Color screen. I need to fix this.. can anyone help me?

Android on Kaiser is as beta as it gets, if I were you, I would flash back to a stock rom and start testing to see if you have software, rom or hardware problems
I did a hard reset and I still have the same problem. It continuously goes back to the Tri Color screen and sometimes my keyboard doesnt work when I am typing texts. But the Android was running very smoothly. I used it for over a month. Could dropping my phone have caused this?

That would do it ! Like I said, try flashing back to the stock rom amd see if that solves any issues.

Lol thanks for that I needed a good laugh. Next you'll say things rattle inside it when you shake it. Or it's no longer waterproof after you went for a swim.
As previously stated, reflash and check that way. If no joy you might wanna open her up and check the guts for any loose connections.

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.
hey...so i think there something really wrong with my wizard...
when im just using it sometimes when i switch it off ( not ike completly just press the button once...) and then when i want to switch it on again it doesnt work...! its still on cuz the green LED still works but i get no picture...so i have to take aut the battery and restart it...!
whats wrong there<???
and then i have another problem and its that sometimes when im starting the wizard again after that happened it turns to white screen after the second boot screen (but its not the same moment every time...some time between the second boot screen and till its started up )...or there are wired stripes on the screen for a few seconds and then it restarts...or sometimes it just stucks at the 2nd splash screen or some other time during starting up...
i already switched the rom so i used crackings 6.1 rom before now i use his 6.5 rom...
i thought it could be the cpu??
i runned it on 240 or 252 for like 6 month now...
does anyone know how to fix that or is there no way of fixing it?
thanks so far

Open the phone and check the connection between the mother board
and the video (its the push connector on the back of the MB) if its tight
you will have to take the lcd section apart ,the other end of the ribbon
cable goes to the lcd and digitizer its a tab locking connection with clear yellow tape over it. check and see if its all the way in ... if that don't fix it get get a new LCD/digitizer from Ebay .. it plugs in i one piece ...
then your off a running ... id watch the over clocking too ... when you
OC the cpu everything runs faster and heat builds up and can damage the phone .. i have seen several OMAP versions here that OC when needed
and return when the phone is idle ..
thats my 2 cents worth on that

If you are sure that your problems are not rom specific (you faced the same problems with different Roms?) then maybe this is the solution for your problem .
Good luck finding what's going wrong.-
Same thing has started happening to me. I just press the reset button and it restarts just fine. I don't see why others are thinking its a problem with the LCD. A reset shouldn't fix that (I'm guessing).
ave you checked the battrey?
ya so the problem i have is not the one descibed in the video...
its differnet...the stripes are ther not the whole time ...it comes sometimes and then there are these stripes and then the screen turns slowly white...and then sometimes it restarts or its just stays white...
and when i normaly switch it off then the leds are still working just the screen wouldnt turn on...
so i really have no idea whats going on there...i tried to make a video but now it didnt happen for almost 4 days so i just hope that its not happening again...
but its really wired and i think its the cpu cuz i cant think of another reason for that...
My orbit 2 is having a few problems.
The touch screen is not functioning at all - the picture is fine but there is no response - and when I try to hard reset it just soft resets.
I firmly hold down the windows and okk buttons and put the stylus in the reset hole, still holding the buttons down. I have tried keeping them held down right until windows has booted, to no avail. When windows starts it goes straight onto the built in screen lock, so I can't even do something using the direction pad. Activesync connects but I can't do much due to the screen being locked.
I feel I have exhausted all avenues but I love the phone and dont want to give up on it yet!
Any suggestions?
Me too
I've had exactly the same problem three times.
The first time, I downloaded the latest WM6.1 ROM update from O2 and installed this. The device was fine again after this for a couple of months.
The second time, reflashing had no effect, but for some reason after a 2 or 3 days the device just started working again.
Third time... just last week, patience has run out and I'm awaiting a replacement device from O2.
I'd still be intrigued if anyone has any insights as to the cause, and a reliable fix!
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
I thought I had a bricked infuse...but after unnecessarily removing the screen/components from the plastic casing and reassembling it, I tried recovering it again. I was FINALLY able to get it into download mode and then heimdal one click it back to stock. Everything went smoothly, but now when it "turns on" (I'm guessing), only the touch buttons at the bottom light up and respond to touch. The screen is absolutely black, except for the random FLASH that lasts a quarter of a second whenever I pull the battery and try rebooting it.
Has anyone ever had this problem before? I'm at a point where when it's on,( or at least I think it's on?), the touch buttons will light up and seem to respond to my touch (dim when touched). No vibrations of any sort though.
Please help
PS: If it is of any use..I used CM9 before all of this happened and I initially attempted to wipe it back to stock multiple times in the past, each time resulting in a frozen ODIN wipe. When I disconnected the phone during the process of wiping it, it no longer turned on or responded to charging the battery (I now have an external battery charger).
Also..when it is connected to my windows laptop, I get an error saying the USB device is malfunctioning.
At the very least it sounds like your internal drive is messed up. Try using the back to stock again - you could even try Odin again. However the problem could be more severe than that. You may want to make sure you reconnected all the components properly. One slightly loose connection can cause problems like you're having. I'm thinking that you might have a loose screen connector.

Also.may have something to do with that...not saying it is but that's a possibility, if you were to.rough with something or gave off a static discharge (computer motherboards are extremely sensitive to static...I'd assume mobile motherboards are too...)
Anyways try running Odin/heimdall again...

My Infuse is doing the same thing, black screen, but touch buttons on. Every once in a while the lock screen pops up and you can get into the phone, but then it goes black again. My phone is not rooted and we haven't done anything except install some programs, but nothing recently. It only happens intermittently, so I think this may be a hardware related problem, but it would be great if anyone has any other ideas on the cause or a fix. Otherwise I suppose we'll have to see about having it repaired or get a new phone.
