hello to everyone,
i would like to expose the problem that afflict my htc touch pro aka raphael, often when i have to write and i switch on the built-in keyboard the procedure seems to go correctly, the landscape flip, the keyboard lits and everything gonna fine until while digiting few digits the keyboards unlit, the screen flips in normal mode and never return to landscape, but the keyboard after few instants returns lit.
i know that probably, not surely, it's a hardware fault, like a fake contact, but opening the phone, the fast contact seems to be in good state, i placed a tap of insulation scotch to make sure that the connector, on the sliding moment doesn't go out from the socket on the board; the conductive mylar seems all connected on the whole surfaces and now i'm breaking my head and that effect annoy me too much and i'm near to practicin' the throwning phone sports...
maybe someone of you had thesame or a similar problem and solved it?
i precise that the phone is a de-brandized one, there is no more warranty cause i bought it by 2nd hand and the problem wasn't present 1 month ago..
any suggestion?

Hi everybody,
I have a HTC Fuze and been using it for a long time now.
Yesterday I reckoned that the spring which holds the ribbon slider is dislodged so it wouldn't close the black ribbon Cover.
So I happily found a service manual for the Fuze and gathered my tools to solve the problem.
I have to hand it to myself that I read the manual and was able to disassemble my beauty safely, put back the little spring to hold the black cover for the ribbon slider again.
After that I carefully assembled my Fuze again!
The mechanism was as smooth as silk and I was proud of myself
But then I switched it on and now I find that the Screen is somehow stuck at the LAndscape position.
To explaing it better, let's say if I reset my device and boot it up again (while the keypad is closed), my Fuze still thinks that the slider or keypad is OPEN so it boots up the TAEL ROM in landscape mode only! The only way to go to Portrait is to use the Rotate Screen option.
I thought this would get fixed by a had-Reset and Flashing it again but it still does not work
So now I am stuck on my fuze with the screen always in LANDSCAPE mode.
Note: All the keys are working fine on the Keyboard, including the back-lit!!!
Somehow I think that I missed something while putting it back that lets my Fuze to detect that the Keypad(Slider) is OPEN or CLOSED...
I'm not much of a Geek but I tried opening it again and checked all the ribbons and connectors... No luck.
All features of my Fuze are OK but for the fact that it is stuck always in LANDSCAPE mode whether I close the keypad or OPEN it!!!
Please help, I have an iPhone too but I love my Fuze!!! I don't want it to be sitting inside my desk for the rest of its life :'(
Is there a button or lock that detect the slider opening/closing?
Thanks,
I have searched the internet, YouTube and this forum before I decided to post, so please help me.
The sliding hard keyboard on my HTC Touch Pro 2 Verizon only works and functions correctly when I open slide it half way horizontally. This means I can only use half the numbers of the buttons on the keyboard.
I intend to disassemble and have a look at all the flex cables, connections but everything works fine if I just slide the keyboard half way.
So I guess there must be a problem with the connections or sensor devices of the phone when the keyboard is slided fully.
My question is:
Where exactly should I look at when I disassemble the phone?
How much do I need to disassemble to be able to access the place that may cause the problem? (I’m afraid of disassembling everything.)
Hopefully, what kind of cleaning or fixing connection parts when the keyboard is fully slided I can do on my own at home?
…………………………….
If I slide it fully horizontally or move the upper part of the phone (screen) upwards after maximum sliding (as the phone designed for), the following problems happen:
1. the touch screen does not work or reacts strangely, sometimes it hangs, no reactions. The send, start, return, light, stop/power buttons on the phone’s upper part don't work correctly.
2. Worse, This sometimes causes black blank screen + hang and I have to remove the battery then power the phone on again.
The backlights and functions of all the buttons + keyboard still work. I bought it secondhand so no warranty, no replacement parts available in Vietnam.
I’m using Mighty rom: WM 6.5 - 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87), Radio 1.88.07WV.
1. Try to Hard Reset it.....
Problem Solved.... Congrats....
If Not....
2. Your Flex Cable is damage... Replace it....
Flex cable comes along all the SMDs.... i.e you don't need to solder any part...
Replace it as describe in Service Manual and change it...
Try to Buy it from online shopping websites
Hi, has anyone else had the center of their touchscreen stop responding? It has been intermittently happening for a couple of days, and I can't seem to pin it to anything I am doing or anything I have changed.
I attached a screen shot of the screen while scribbling in SketchBook to show how the center third of the screen is being skipped. To click anything in the center of the screen, I have to use the track pad on the keyboard.. Powering off and back on clears the issue, but it has come back several times. I hope this is not a hardware issue, what do you think?
Thanks!
BTW - This only happens while using the keyboard dock.
yeah when you close the tab, the keyboard holder presses on the screen too hard and creates a "ghost touch". On//off screen fixes it. as the hinge gets more loose it goes away. i went to developer setings and enabled visual feedback so could spot it.
It seems like when I pinch the rails together to reduce the slop and wiggle of the keyboard and tablet, the ghost spots stop for a few days. I got an AR Drone at Christmas and get nervous about flying it and losing control of the screen (crash and burn).
I got the surface pro last week and i love it, but I have two issues, one minor, one major.
The major one is that the button on my digitizer came off. It just stayed stuck in the magnetic holder when I took the pen out. It still works but the button is kind of hanging off. And when I reattach it to the port, it breaks off again. Is this a common problem? And does anyone have experience getting a replacement from microsoft?
The other problem I am having is that the keyboard is unresponsive sometimes when I flip it backwards and then bring it back. It requires a few disconnects and reconnects when this happens. Does anyone know of a program or setting to stop the keyboard from disabling or adjust the sensitivity to prevent this from happening? (It's the touch cover if that makes a difference.)
Thanks in advance.
1. I would tell MS to change that pen right away. Sounds defective, unless you pulled it out at a really bad angle and then it's your fault lol
2. I had that problem too, all you have to do it flip it a bit more slowly. It works the same way that a smartphone accelerometer works. I had this problem too, just gently flip it instead of zooming it to the back or the front.
Keyboard Issue
You ever have the keyboard not plugged in, and turn on the PC and not be able to login because it doesn't automatically pop up the onscreen keyboard?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nope, but I do have the issue if I flip it back too fast it won't recognize as the keyboard not being absent and doesn't pop up the onscreen keyboard at times. But never when it's not connected at all.
Trying to get my sons unit to work, first thing was the screen was unresponsive, I read to try a factory reset, seeing as the touch would work, I tried the volume/power button. After many attempts I finally got that to work.
navigated around with the volume button and selected reset. Now I am stick in the select Language which I can do but cannot continue as the next button is unresponsive.
I am think of trying to get a new screen etc .. would it just be the glass or both screen and glass . (if someone could clarify which and what to order)
sorry if I am totally stupid android etc is new... been a windows man for many years
Open it up and see if any cables have come loose, they are renowned for pulling out the display cable if they are dropped, possible it could affect touch too
The display cable is wrapped around the battery, which shifts when dropped, and pulls the cable out
sounds like a good idea, as I got him to own up to having dropped it and the back un snapped. will check that out tomorrow. thanks
I found one flat cable with the lock clip up, tried again got a lot of the touch working, just the bottom 3 back-home etc that will not respond. wonder if I have missed something like another cable or something.
I'd hazard a guess that it would be that one cable, maybe not fully making contact with the port it was pulled out of, I'd try fiddling with it more, see if it changes the places touch isn't working
Also check that the cable isn't damaged, they are pretty thin, possible it has ripped inside the shielding
Sounds like you're on the right track though
Check that it is not just those three navigation buttons not working, such as the whole bottom 1cm of the screen - rotate the screen, see if the touch points are dead in the same places
And I'm not 100% about this, but check if the screen end of that cable is removable too
thanks my friend, yea I rotated the screen several times and those three will not work. I did have a funny effect before I did another reset. I would try and press the reset in settings and the wi-fi settings would open. lolol after playing around I finally got it to work. I will keep fiddling.
2nd eldest daughter handed me her ipod with a lovely pattern of cracked glass.. so ipod added to my list.
Oh the joys of kids and expensive tech!
If the buttons won't work in any orientation, it sounds more like a ROM issue for that problem, if it was touch, the same part of the screen wouldn't work in any orientation, meaning the navigation buttons should work in either portrait or landscape, whichever is the opposite of the non working orientation
Good luck
