Hi all.
My screen was broken so I ordered a new one. Finally got it and I tried switching it myself.
Got the Vox service manual and following the steps I changed the broken screen with the new one.
Now I have a problem.
Before I changed the screen, the S710 would boot, I could even make/receive calls although the screen was broken.
Now, after I replaced the screen, when I hold the power button the green light lights, after I let it go it shuts off and nothing happens. No vibration, nothing.
Any idea?
Looks like the SIM card door is not handling the switch properly in there. Try to open/close the SIM door and see if it works then.
I love you tobbbie!
I was going to break it in pieces and the problem was so easy.
Thanks alot!
Thank You tobby! Your small post was big help! Respect!

Just got it. Looks great and all functions seem to work except if left for a bit, the device seems to freeze with a blank screen, but the green network signal LED still flashes every few seconds as normal.
The display is off, and all buttons don't work when it's like this and a battery out job is needed to reboot and get it back to working.
Everything will be fine until it times out or whatever and goes into this hibernation/semi dead mode.
This seems odd as I thought most phones these days allowed emergency calls in most standby modes. No keys work so no 999's for me when this is being like this.
Have I missed something obvious or is it a proper fault?
Please help as I need to send it back asap if it's a faulty phone.
Thanks,
Joe
Just to add, it has just frozen again but this time on the today screen. No keys active, and when I call the phone number it rings on the phone I call from, but nothing happens on the v1240.
Update: I also bought another as a gift, it doesn't do this and the faulty phone has been returned as I am away from the UK with work for some time soon.
Topic can be closed now - it's a hardware fault.
Hi everyone,
Last night my polaris started playing tricks on me. Basically the touch screen is not responsive but the hard buttons all work. For some reason though when I try to do a hard reset (GPS, Internet and reset) it doesn't perform a hardreset. Also I can't put it into boot loader mode
Any suggestions?
Can you try and flash a new ROM?
Yes i've flashed another cooked ROM and till nothing, even D/L official 6.1 ROM and still no touch screen.
I would immediately assume the touch screen is broken but the fact I can't use the hard reset combination (even though the individual buttons work) has got me confused
Hi!
I've the same issue.
This morning everything was fine but, now i can't use the touch screen.
It seems that the "cursors" is always in the upper right corner, but as i move it clicking in the other part of the screen it runs back in that corner.
I'm not able to hard reset, i've tried to do a clearstorage but i'm not able to enter the security code "1234" as i haven't the cotnroll of the screen
Have you solved this problem?
I will let you know shortly but cut a long story short it looks like i broke it
on closer inspection of can see a small dent/scratch on the screen so ordered a new touch screen off ebay. It arrived today so i'll be putting it in shortly so fingers crossed it was actually the problem. I figure the problem was the screen causing a permanent short and hence interupting my attempts at a hard reset
The screen cost about $35 AUD delivered and it took me about 30 minutes to pull the device apart, just have to see how long it takes to get it back together now
I'll post back soon
To me something similar has hapened.
Once i was changing the values of the pressure settings and the screen become unresponsive!
It was quite easy to fix it:
-just press the GPS button and the center button at the same time, then you will enter the menu were you can align the screen and, at the same time, the pressure registry values become as default.
Hope this helps with your problem, good luck with the screen replacement!
It's alive!!!!
Replaced the digitizer (touch screen) and all works again ...
Just to warn you though it isn't for the faint of heart, I thought i'd broke it a couple of times throughout the repair, next time i'll be getting a repair quote first
Congratulations!!
As my polaris is still under warranty i'll send my to the official assistance for the touch screen replacement!
Yesterday i've got my Cruise back from assistanza.. thay have replaced the whole mother board and now the touch screen is working
its a good idea to install my mobiler. this lets you control the device using a pc when the touch screen doesn't work. you can then back up your stuff before sending off for repair.
The other day, I hit the power button on my touch pro, and the screen didn't come on. I did a soft reset, and it started working again. Now today, the same thing is happening, but a soft reset isn't helping.
The screen's back light comes on, the LEDs on the buttons come on, and the phone seems to be working fine. I hear all the sounds, including the HTC sound while it is booting, and the new message sound, but the screen stays black. It still recognizes touches, it just doesn't show an image. I want to do a hard reset, and will if I can get it to come one one more time, but its been about a month since I backed up my contact list. Lesson learnt there. I'm afraid it might be a hardware problem since I don't see anything while its booting either.
Anyone know if this is a known hardware issue with the touch pro? The phone is less then 3 months old, and I've been real careful with it. I haven't dropped it from more then 2 feet, and even that was onto carpet. Its the Verizon version if that makes a difference, and I'm running one of the NFSFAN roms. Its not the newest one, but rather the one posted on October 19th. I doubt its the rom, though, as I've been using it for around 2 months with no issues.
EDIT: Ok, I went into the bootloader to see if it was hardware of software. I figured if it was hardware, the screen would be black, and if it was software, it would be the rainbow. Sure enough, the screen stayed black. Hit the reset button, and the screen actually came on! Go figure. Went to do a backup, and the screen literally crapped out on me while I was watching it. Definitely a hardware problem.
similar with Touch HD... kinda
I've been having a similar problem with my Touch HD. The problem is very intermittent though and is sometimes hard to reproduce. The screen and phone will be working fine then once in a while when I push the power button to lock the phone, I'll unlock it and the screen stays black. I know that the phone is still on and even unlocked because pushing the buttons at the bottom makes the phone vibrate. The only consistency in reproducing the problem happens after I do something major on the phone such as making a phone call, browsing the internet, sometimes charging the phone. Other than that, I can sit here and push the power button all day and it'll come on and off with no problems. When the screen does go black I've taken the battery out repeatedly as well as repeatedly rebooted the phone until it comes back on. I've tried doing hard and soft resets to no avail. I've tried deactivating "turn off backlight if device is not used for" and "turn off device if not used for" without any resolve. After this I've even left the screen on (disabled backlight off) to see if it flickers or shows any sign of being faulty and it seems to be fine. I'm currently on Dutty's HD WM 6.5 Leo R5 WWE rom, but this has happened with two other roms (NRG, LIA). Other info include:
OS: 5.2.23016
Manila: 2.519192828.0
Radio: 1.14.25.24
Protocol: 52.64.25.34H
I guess the only consistent software has been my radio. Please help! Any advice would be awesome. I've tried google search and xda search without much help. Thanks
Hi,
I've flashed my phone (HTC Touch Pro) with Hardspl and then the latest Energy ROM.
Everything went perfectly and I was impressesd with how simple and easy it was and how much difference the ROM made to the phone.
Today, while using the camera, the screen went blank.
I tryed turning the phone off, pulling battery and a hard reset but its still the same.
Even after hard reset, the screen is blank but if i press the power button, on the second press, I get a flash of whats on the screen and then it goes blank again.
Should I try to reflash the phone again?
I've searched but not found the same issue
Thanks
The touch screen is still working and sometimes i can see the display, but its very dark and hard to read. Is the flex cable that needs changing?
Why would it stop working so suddenly?
Should i take it apart to reseat it?
Ok, I've found the same issue in a few other peoples phones but they seem to have beeen resolved by sendin the phone back under warantee.
I dont have that option unfortunatly so need to find a fix.
The only thing wrong with the phone is the screen backlight that suddenly failed
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction please? I cant find a definite diagnosis anywhere
New Flex cable?
New Screen?
Pray?
Thanks
Back to stock SPL and stock ROM
Still no luck
Well my HTC Fuze works fine for about a year and half. However, idk how or why now my HTC Fuze power button on the top is not working. The only way to make it go to sleep mode if I let my phone turn of by itself in 1 min. Also, the only way to turn it on by slide the phone.
If anyone might know what cause the problem please help me.
Get xda shutdown or a similar app to turn the device off. There are a bunch of software options for putting the device to sleep, turning off the dispay, and shutting it down.
Same here but...
Same here but....
I have xda shutdown already, and when I Shutdown the phone it turn on again by itself.
I'm having the same exact problem! My Fuze has worked great for two years and all of a sudden a few days ago, the power button wont work. And my battery drains like crazy! It'll only last me 4 hours max... Any fixes on this? I've scoured the net and have seen that people have similar problems as this before; however, I haven't seen any fixes on it yet......
Possible solution power button problem Touch pro/Fuze?
I had the same problem on my Touch Pro, but now my power button seems to work again. I thought the problem might have to do something with my sim or my sd-card. The possibility of the sim as root of the problem was mentioned on this forum somewhere. The micro-sd card was just a guess. I had a lot of programs installed directly on the card, so when I did a hard-reset, these were still on there. If the problem would be on the micro-sd card, a hard reset would not help.
What I did was this. I removed the micro-sd card, the battery and the sim. I just pulled them out, since I wasn't able to turn the device off properly.
After that I only put back the battery and the device turned on automatically or I did it with the reset button on the bottom of my tp (I don't remember). Of course it showed the missing sim icon on top of the screen when turned on. The power button still didn't function at this moment.
I was a bit disappointed and inserted the sim, micro-sd card and battery again (I believe in this order). Lately, because of the power button problem, my tp turned on once the battery was inserted but this time it didn't. So I was pissed off that now my device wouldn't even turn on.
But to my surprise I could turn my tp on with te power button. Right now I can use the button just like before, it works fine!
Because I only tried this a few minutes ago I cannot tell you anything about the battery drain some of you and I experienced. And ofcourse I can't tell you if this is this is a permanent fix. I'm afraid to do a reset right now
I don't know why this worked for me and if it will work for you, but you can at least give it a shot right?
In short, what I did was this:
Pull out battery, sim and micro-sd card
Put back in the battery
Device will turn on automatically or turn on device with a reset (it will show the missing sim icon on top of screen)
Wait untill device is turned on properly
Pull out battery
Insert sim, micro-sd card and battery again
Turn on device with power button
If it won't work, maybe you can change the order of removing/inserting battery, sim and micro-sd card.
Good luck!
I was shocked to find a thread here of exactly the same issue I have, on the first page :O Few months back the power button stopped working altogether, so I resorted to using AEButton Plus to map double end call as the suspend power button, but now I have the issue of not being able to turn my phone off as whenever I do, the phone just turns itself back on again! At first I thought it was an issue with the internal mechanisms of the hardware button itself being jammed in place, but after reading this thread I'm starting to have doubts. I also experienced the battery drain problem with the phone rarely lasting 6 hours in standby, although a recent hard-reset and it shows that the battery drainage is around 170mAh with the screen on.
Been trying the above solution but to no avail ;( the phone keeps turning on by itself whenever I insert the battery, no matter the order.
All seems to you all have a HARDWARE problem.
Did you talking/using your PDA on rain/snow?
Maybe it make a some kind of short circuit?
Probobly the best way is carry your PDA to a service...
Yeah I've been pretty sure it's a hardware problem. I've hard-resetted and reflashed different ROMs and yet the problem persists. I don't remember getting the TP wet at all, but who knows. I don't know of any HTC service centers around here (Brisbane, Australia), so I've been looking for a way to fix this myself. No luck yet.
If you have skills to open Touch Pro you can probably do it at home.
Probably you must change flex:

This is not my item, I just simply shows how it looks this item.
I had the same problem.
My solution seems a bit unorthodox but it has always worked for me.
Slide your phone open, and flip it so it is facing screen down. You will see there is space between the power button and the phone. Put your mouth near that opening and breathe for 30 seconds to a minute. If the power button isn't working by the next day, repeat the process. The condensation from your breath does..well...something. And presto chango, it works again. The power button issue has happened about 3 times to me and doing this has always fixed it without fail.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In exhaust is moisture.
And then people say that the phone had no contact with the water... :/
