Hello
I have 2 HD2 and it seems that overtime the phone starts to heats up and keys problems and freezing. This problems have nothing to do with software or use of phone but hardware failure overtime.
I'm about to get an inspire 4g from craiglist and I just wanna know if this is something that happens or can happen with this model. I'm a lil worry cause the design is almost the same and HTC again so please help.

It also fell 20ft from the telephone pole, thank god it landed in the grass, it turned right on. not one problem, solid phone.

Now my phone won't power on. It is stuck on the HTC screen when booting up.
Get it exchanged.

I returned for the same issue and the new one is fine.
Bad unit, exchange it for sure
Good news. I got it exchanged. But good thing a friend of mine works at AT&T because I accidentally ripped the volume button off when I was opening the battery door. Make sure you don't try to open it without looking.

The card that the sim card is attached to out of the box can be used to open the battery door. It slides in at the volume rocker and can be flexed enough to pop the battery cover off very easily.

I think he is taking about the phone shutting down on its own or not powering on. Not the battery door.

But I haven't heard of others having problems like I did. I searched high and low to find out what was wrong with my phone but couldn't find anyone experiencing similar problems.

So I have something funky going on. When someone calls me my phone rings. Do you think its defective? Should I return it? Also my power button is crooked and slants over to one side. Its a moving part and moving parts shouldn't do this right? I mean buttons shouldn't have any play right?? :-D Sorry I couldn't help myself. Hahahahha

My phone has done this once or twice before but my solution to this was draggin the green "answer" button to the circle. It stops the ringing and whoever is calling ends up on the phone and you can hear them.
Not too difficult. I mean HTC should have fixed this issue before they even released the phone
Lmao. My phone is also defective. When I press the button with a house on it, it closes the app. Soooooooo annoying.

Lighten up.. In a perfect world everything would be perfect, but we dont live in a perfect world. If you look at EVERY single device there will always be issues with some units. I happen to not have any major issues with my sensation. My wifi drops a little when I hold it landscape but it's not horrible and oesnt drop the connection. any other issue I have are all software related glitches. If you look at every forum people complain about issues on every device. I was just making light of it because people seem to have major OCD. If you didnt think the thread was funny you shouldnt have even bothered reading it or replying. NOTHING is perfect in this world yet we expect everything to be perfect. Come back when you remove the stick out of your ass..

Apparently, HOME button is supposed to teleport you back home, but gets confused because it doesn't know where you live and take you to HOMESCREEN instead (dumb thing, with all the gps and location services it should know where i charge it and sleep). Rumours are that this is going to be fixed with update in August. If it's not, there is always a DEV for that.
EDIT. I think we should start a petition for that, HTC seems to do anything we want if we put enough pressure on them, so they might push this bugfix sooner.
I returned mine and went back to my rooted and ROM'd vibrant and I don't regret it....BUT I'm considering waiting maybe another month or until we get full root and S-OFF to maybe give the sensation another chance. I wanted to like the phone, I really did, but didn't feel that the sensation in it's current stock state was really what I wanted. Either way...it's a GREAT multimedia phone and web surfer, kinda crappy at being an actual phone tho in my opinion...

Please explain, I've had zero issues as far as the device functioning as a phone.
On a side not, it's really driving me nuts that when press the "loose" button at the top my stupid phone keeps showing me the current weather with all these highly functional shortcut options on how to unlock. Anyone know how to change that? I want it to be stupid and work like an iphone!
Regardless of rom, hboot, etc, it does this intermittently. Has anyone else experienced this??
Sometimes power off goes to sleep of death and requires battery pull. Sometimes reboot turns it off. Even all stock it did this.
Very strange.

Duff device, take it back and get it replaced.
You shouldn't have to put up with a device that doesn't work as it's meant to.
The more people who return faulty items, the more pressure there is for HTC to improve their quality control and so get the factories to improve their game.
I have the same problem. It looks like faulty devide, after 6 phones from htc this is the first one having issues for me
Happened to me too, I went ahead and asked for help here on xda..... Nobody answered to my questions, so regardless of Rom, kernel the phone was constantly dying on me whenever I needed it the most.
I bought a battery from eBay, one with a 1900 mAh, it's branded Anker.....put it in the phone and since then NO MORE PROBLEMS.
Now I don't know if this is the case for you, but I think that 12 dollars its not too much to invest to try.
Good luck to you

hmm interesting, thanks
I don't receomend this if you don't know what you're doing. But I took the phone case off and re-bent/aligned the contacts for the wifi using a pair of needle nose pliers. They're copper contacts so easy to bend back but also easy to break as well. In the end my wifi was better.

Try the telus radio, seems to have fixed my WiFi problems.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
which one is telus radio? and would it work normally with my at&t network?
HTC knows about this issue, software can help but won't fix it entirely. HTC claims they are working to fix it for future production. I guess just wait until they fix the physical problem and then claim warranty, you have at least 10 mos left. They owned up to it recently so if you complain they will probably keep you happy.

Hi friends pretty much looking for advice. I dropped my HTC one s and the screen had colors leaking everywhere. I had a case on and screen protector. Anyway T-Mobile sent me a replacement in the mail. I went to the store the representative activated my new SIM card. Turned the phone on and started having signal issues. The signal randomly drops and stays off both cell signal and data. It takes a long time for it to start back up. I turn on airplane mode and when I do this temporary the signal comes back then airplane displays and cuts it off. Then I turn off airplane and the signal comes back. Have to keep doing these steps. I installed a custom ROM flashed a different radio and still the same issues. So does this maybe sound like a hardware issue ? I'm going to give T-Mobile a call tomorrow would really suck having to send this phone in and wait for another but that's looking like what I'm going to have to do.

Try removing the bottom cover, making sure the antenna contact is clean and maybe bending the prongs up a little bit. Worked for some folks.

Yup...do some searching. Might want to invest in a pry tool. There's a guy around here who just replaced his whole body due to scratches and I'm fairly sure you need to remove the bottom cover to access the screws.

You know T-Mobile sevice really pisses me off sometimes... I called they told me they're going to send another phone to see which ever works better.. going to take another week and a half to come while I'm stuck with this phone. I'm pretty upset. So I'll flash back the T-Mobile ROM and send it back. Do you think I'll have issues since they're going to see the boot loader relocked

This worked for me the first time I used my new phone 3 months ago. I couldn't find any wlan signal (i was near the router) too! I carefully pushed the prongs up and it worked
So I got the bottom open. The first time I adjusted the prongs I got a much more consistant connection but really really slow speeds. I'll post a picture. Then I went in a second time I adjusted the prong more but s small gold piece from under looks like it broke off. I still get signal I'll report back on speed.

The speed has improved its a lot.though it doesn't look like I'm getting hspa+ speeds. My connection dropped once since the last time I popped it open. T-Mobile is sending another phone out for me this one def has some sort of hardware issue. Thank you guys so much for the tips at least now I have a pretty decent connection and at least consistant. I really hope though that It's okay with me sending them a relocked bootloader.
