I've seen a few similar issues on the web with various devices... I believe mine to be a bit different though.
Before today my Blackjack 2 (Windows Mobile 6.1) worked perfectly fine, it fell today and the battery went flying out of the phone. I put it back together and it was working fine. a few hours later i realized the phone shut off on its own. Well, it does that sometimes for me since it is over 2 years old and is quite beat up, so I took it as normal behavior, i started it up, and…. it hangs on the windows mobile green splash screen.
Whenever I shut it down, the loading circle that normally pops up, shows on the screen as its shutting down. I've actually gotten it to show the status bar (signal strength, battery, etcetera, however the rest of the screen remained at the splash screen.
Bootup process: it shows the Samsung splash screen, then the AT&T animation, and then the windows mobile splash screen where it finally hangs. When I plug it into my computer using the data cable, it dings on connection, and my computer starts to connect, but then errors out.
I'd like to try to avoid a hard reset or re installation if possible… just added a bunch of contacts that I haven't backed up, and I don't know their numbers off hand, so I'd have to wait for them to call/text me or until i see them again.
Also, if I have to perform a hard reset, I'm unsure if the phone will actually work after-wards since this did appear to begin after it hit the ground.
Since installing WM 6.1 I have not installed any software/programs/apps on the device, just some new contacts. It's not the sim card, my friend has the same phone so I tried it out on his and it worked fine.
Anyone able to advise on this?
Sorry for the double post, decided to format anyways. I have a trip tomorrow and absolutely needed a functional phone. It is now functioning perfectly fine, boot time is a bit longer than usual but it does boot.
Any idea what could have caused this and how to avoid the issue in the future?
Hello!
I have a problem with my HTC Vox (yes, there are still people who have one )
It started out with the display getting different colour tones as soon as i slided out the keypad too slowly.
One day however, the phone didn't boot up again, means, that the HTC logo shows, then the Windows Logo too, but suddenly it starts flackering and then it stays so.
I already tried the hard reboot and since Active Sync doesn't seem to recognize the phone anymore i'm really desperate about this. I hope somebody can help since I would love to keep that phone as long as possible!

Hello, I have recently discovered a very annoying problem with the touchscreen on my Motorola Defy:
I have noticed that the touch screen acts strange sometimes, so I have installed a touch test application(Touchtest by Hermit). In this application I have noticed that if I touch the screen in two different points in a fast succession, a line appears between these two dots. This makes a lot of application that require multitouch pretty much useless, because I have to restart the application to have the touch screen working again.
Is there any solution for this? I have heard that this may be a software issue, so I have e-mailed Motorola, but they have not answered yet.
I have attached two pictures to illustrate what I am saying, one taken before this strange error, and one after pressing on two spots very fast. You can see the line connecting the dots in the second picture. I can make a video if you still can't figure out what I am saying.
Thank you.
Im having a very similar problem here on my defy. When I play games on psx4droid and when I keep pressing x key, it stops working for a while then I have to release the button and when I press it again, it stops working and it continues
I encounter similar problems with my Defy.
When for instance using slide to unlock , 1 / 5 sildes fails. I have to slide 2 - 3 times until it unlock.
It also scrolls very slow in applications and the same thing happens when typing a message.
Solution : Unse lock button.
It currently runs Pays ROM, but the situation appeared since I installed 2.2.1.
I don't remember having this problems on 2.1.
Don't know if the situation is only related to software but it is really annoying.
Found this info regarding touchscreen slowness, but I am using the original charger so it doesn't apply for me.
Motorola Defy Touchscreen Problem
I recently got my Motorola Defy,my Defy's touchscreen acts sometimes really weird, on keyboard it's hard to enter 'r' or 'b' and some other characters, it takes little while to unlock the phone, it automatically opens applications, I don't know if it's due to faulty handset or software, I am considering it returning to Phone4U and get a replacement handset.
What version of Android are you using ?
Same problems here, but I think it is a software issue.
I'm having the same problem on my Defy.
After a while, the multi touch stops. I posted on the Motorola Forums
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/44733
but no response.
I used YAMTT and when having two touches, after 20 seconds, one of them disappears
This is repeatable
2.51.1 UK with 2.1 Android
Well, it is clear that this is a problem that affects many Motorola Defy users. But I wonder if someone could fix this thing?
Looks like the new software version 2.51.1 did not fix this bug. I haven't tried it yet, but I see some of you have.
So it looks like our only solution could be a developer from XDA. Could someone help please?
This is ridiculous...i've sent my phone to motorola only because it was giving this problem and basically what i think is that their own software is causing this problem so i'll be waiting for 3 weeks and when i get my defy...it'll still have that problem...Ridiculous...
I did a bit more experimenting.
I flashed the 2.2 Finnish blur, multitouch still disappears after 20 seconds using the touch testing programs
I also booted into Safe Mode (vol up + vol down during boot)
The same problem persists; I was using gallery image zoom to test.
However, I got my friend who has a Motorola Droid to install YAMTT. The multitouch lasted about 30-40 seconds. Not sure what to make of that. He's running some version of Cyanogen Mod on Android 2.3

Tell me who is on stock rom and is having problem..because im on 2.2 leaked..so i cant really say if u hv this problem on 2.1...
I got this response from a Motorola employee. Anyone know of a way around this?
Motorola Employee said:
If you touch the screen and don't move for a long time, the screen will eventually try to ignore that touch as it'll be considered invaild. That's what you're seeing. If you continue to move your finger(s), touch will continue to work. Also, when you release the screen, it acts to clear the invalid touch region that you generated earlier.

I have the same problem. screen sometimes go crazy. i am using stockrom eclair SEA 2.59. sometimes it seems that it tap icons or part of the screen even without I actually tap on something. and it seems it affect the capacitive button under the screen. I am not touching the search button but the search box suddenly appear.
I have to push the power button and unlock the screen to make it normal.
somebody please help us. I am also having this weird problem. Touchscreen gets pressed itself not everytime but it happens very frequently. Tried everything, hard reseted too.
At least I gotta hope that its not a hardware problem as many of u are also facing this problem. Any body please confirm if flashing cm7 has helped u or any other solution.

i returned my defy months ago but what you can do is, try to flash cyanogenmod on your defy...that should fix the problem.
Hi, I've registered myself just a minute ago, reading the link that efpod left here and I've remembered that I charged my Defy with a Galaxy S i9000 charger friday (I've charged it once the batery was drained later with my original charger) and today it is failing A LOT, it's really anoying.
I got Cyanogen Mod (latest) installed on my phone so that doesn't fix the problem.
I'm uncharging it with "StabilityTest - CPU / GPU Test" and when the battery drains out I'm gonna charge it with the original one, after that, I'll test it during the day and I'll leave a messege to keep you informed.
Hello there,
I have recently received an HTC HD2 from a friend of a friend of mine. It didn't work and was stuck at a black screen.
After receiving the HD2 I saw that the HD2 was in a boot loop of some sort. Every time I would turn it on it would vibrate once, and then turn off. Then it would vibrate once again and it turned off again. The backlighting of the screen would turn on, and then after a certain period of time (maybe like 5 seconds) they turn off again.
Somehow (by luck, maybe) I managed to boot the phone into windows mobile 6.5. I still got a black screen, but I could hear the sound that the phone makes after it boots windows. I then attached the phone to the computer and downloaded the latest HTC HD2 Windows 6.5 ROM and flashed it to the phone as standard procedure. Now, every time I turn the phone on I hear the sounds of windows booting up and I can connect with it using windows mobile device center. I also hear sounds when I push the buttons on the phone.
TL;DR-> Black screen, phone reacts to input.
Question: will replacing the screen fix the phone? Or is it some other component failing. Booting windows proves the phone isn't bricked, right?
Thanks in advance.
Might Help

Hi, you can always try to boot into three colored screen, by turning the phone on while holding the DownVol key at the same time. If this doesn't work you would need to buy a new screen to see if that fixes the problem.
Heres a link to amazon where you can buy a new LCD, you can also search how to change the screen on Youtube

HELP ME PLEASE!! Phone doesnt work at all, I'm so frustrated dont know what to do =(
Hello! I'm Nicolas, from Chile. And i own a Xiaomi Mi4 Since March2015.The thing goes like this, since May the screen had a fringe/bar where the touch sensor stopped working, this was NEVER a problem, because it was an area that we never use. But 2 days ago, i pressed the power button to turn on the screen and put my password, but the screen went mad and showed just fringes with lots of colors, then it barely showed the password screen, then colors again and etc, sometimes it worked fine for like 10 seconds, and it crashed again. The phone started working awfully slow, i mean, with like 4 seconds delay for EVERYTHING, i couldnt use it!!. Sometimes it worked just fine then the screen went mad again, with fringes and dots and black or blank screens. I never did hit the phone in the process, not any kick, nothing, the screen just stopped working, all black. The next day i changed the screen (because i thought there was a problem with the screen cause it was previously with an issue, and i thought the ultra laggy system was a problem with the screen or something, that the incredible lag/delay was because the screen). And the thing is when i changed the screen, a brand new one, the exact same thing happened, nothing works, it is alive because i can screencast the phone on my laptop, but it keeps running incredibly slow, it is too slow i cant even open whatsapp without waiting 2 minutes... I cant even put my password smoothly, because it is so laggy and delayed, that if i press the number "1" it shows up on the screen like 4 seconds later... And i mean it shows up << on the laptop screen>> (not to forget the brand new screen doesnt work neither)... So it is a problem with the processor? the ram? the adreno 330? what? Please i need help, i cant afford a new phone =(.
Plus info: Everything seems to be connected alright, i did the replacement myself watching lots of videos, and everything is simple and i think well done, the phone is still alive, but controlling it by the laptop, screen doesnt work, wifi doesnt work (its like there is no adapter anymore...), 3g signal doesnt work, it does not even recognize my phone company it says no service, I controled it by the laptop and now is playing music at full volume...
I didnt know where to post this, sorry if misplaced.
HELP ME PLEASE!! I would be so thankful! =(
