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'm facing the same problem. It seems to be related only to the german ROM, as nobody else here is reporting a similar problem. Here are two work arounds I found so far:
- open a video with windows media player. Somehow this initializes the video driver in a way that the black parts do not occur anymore. However, if you close the app, the black parts occur again. So you have to keep the app in the background
- Set HKLM\System\GWE\PORepaint to 2. If the device is turned on, all windows are redrawn. This removes all black parts. However, this only works if the device has been turned off for a couple of seconds (3 or more)
Hope that helps!
I got my replacement Fuze from AT&T and as soon as I did, I flashed WM6.5 on it. And now I noticed that a few things from landscape view are burned in on my screen, and you can only tell when its closed [portrait view]. The very bottom of the screen, just big enough for the left/right soft touch buttons, flashes constantly. And I can see the X for closing a window and the time burned in from when it was in landscape view.
It did this before and went away and now its back. What do I do to fix it? Get it replaced again?
im not sure what actually causes that but i dont think its real screen burn in. ive had it happen and go away. its something weird with tf3d maybe?
Sometimes I have seen 'Action' and 'Camera' burnt in at the bottom in portrait view, but it's not always visible, and don't see it often
Try turning teh screen brightness way down

I have only had this happen once and it was when I had the screen brightness all the way up. I turned the brightness way down and after about 30 minutes the ghost images went away (gradually).
Hope this helps.
Turn the phone off and take the battery out for a couple minutes. Worked for me.
It seems like a software issue to me, because also when I go to landscape view sometimes, the icons are all distorted. Looks like I'll be going back to WM6.1 for a bit, until I can find a stable 6.5.
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
One of my phones is an HTC Surround that i don't use that often but still want it to work. To the issue though, each time the phone is turned on (not powered on, just woken) the screen refuses to work on the right side. In order to get past the lock screen you have to swipe up on the left side. After that the right screen becomes 'active' only after you swipe the left screen again. The home button and the search button on the phone only work after sliding the left side of the screen down and hitting the back button, once that task is accomplished the entire phone works perfectly and no more issues develop. This has been driving me crazy trying to figure out why its doing this. I reset the phone twice, both through the reset in the settings and doing a hard reset. When neither of those attempts worked i put it in bootloader and flashed this release (http://www.filefactory.com/file/b48...S_1.03.502.07_5.51.09.06_22.30.50_RELEASE.exe) to it and it still continues with this wierd touch screen issue.
I could probably just throw the phone away and not care but i'd prefer to fix it and sell it. Plus its driving me insane trying to figure out the issue.

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
