[Q] screen issues

just wondering if anybody can help me, ive had my phone back from orange/ee repair twice now only for it to develop the same problem yet again, ok so the phone is completely factory standard, i make folders on my home screen with various apps in each and i can access each folder properly, i then turn the phone off when i go to sleep at night and put it on charge, when i wake up in the morning i unplug the phone, turn it on and let it wake up, i then try to access the folders i created and cant when i touch them, this is the part that confuses me, if i touch above the folders i can then access them, if i put another app above the folder and try to open that it will only open the folder below, please could someone enlighten me as to what may be causing this, thankyou

This is only a guess so don't shoot the messenger
Try;
Go to Menu - Settings - Language & Keyboard - HTC Sense Input - Advanced. Then choose either Calibration Tool or Reset calibration
It's meant for text input but ya never know!

HI brother ...
Well, it seems like a firmware problem, to avoid some stupid preactions, throw the phone to Orange repair group, and see if they can fix it.

i know what you're saying mate, but its been for repair twice already and come back with the same fault both times, dont you think throwing it back at them a third time would be taking the iss a bit?

Hi brother ...
Personally, i don't know how to fix it, but, as i told you it seems a software problem, if you don't wanna take it back, just try some custom ROMS or try to install International version of One S Software using RUU, this i guess may solve the issue .
Cordially.

yeh im starting to believe it is a software issue now, i spoke to the chap in the ee shop yesterday and he said he is going to get in contact with his area manager and push to get my phone replaced because he agreed that this was unacceptable, so fingers crossed I'll hopefully have a new phone in the next couple of days. i was considering rooting and flashing a custom rom but really didnt want to because obviously it wouldve voided the warranty, i'll let you know how i get on in a few days, thankyou for taking the time to reply and try and help :beer::screwy:

Third time back from repair, HTC UK this time and the phone still has the same fault, got told in the EE shop that that was all they could do for me and try contacting orange customer services to see if they might replace the phone. Im starting to get very p*ssed off with orange now as you can most probably understand, so now im thinking of rooting the device and flashing a Rom that hopefully won't cause me the issues this one is

If your device has been back to repair 3 times with the same issue, and still not fixed you are eligible to get a brand new one.

[Q] Can't get into recover, phone won't boot, CM9

Hi there,
I have a Rogers Galaxy SGH-i727R. About three weeks ago, the phone started re-starting on it's own. I though maybe it was a sticky power key and had that replaced. The problem persisted. I then noticed that it was primarily upon receiving text messages that the phone would reboot. So it seemed it was a software issue. I am running the stable build of CM9.
Yesterday the phone rebooted and never got off the angry alien screen. I pulled the battery, charged it etc and still could not get it to fully boot up. I left it for over an hour. I finally decided to call it quits and re-flash the phone. Problem is, it will not boot into recovery at all. When I hold down Vol + - and Power, it jsut goes into a loop of vibrating every three seconds until I let go and then it tries a normal boot again. Once, I briefly got a screen saying I was trying to install custom software and to press volume up to do so, but before I could hit volume up, the phone cycled off.
I should also mention that the four buttons on the bottom of the screen do not work. I accidentally sliced the wires on the side of the phone when opening it up. I use a software button saver widget to access their functions. I wonder if that issue is related....
Thanks for any advice. I would like to get into recovery so I can load a new ROM or a stock ROM.

You're going to get blasted for posting this here....
That being said, your power button is borked, common on these phones. Happened to mine, but I was still under warranty so it was replaced.

Your point? I can't tell you how many times I've been sent "new" or "tested good" parts and they are DOA when installed. Or people who claim to have replaced or fixed a part but really didn't.

In the Q/A section is the proper place. I had the exact same issues you are having, fortunately I had the option to trade it in for a new one. Good luck!

Black Screen!

First of all, I wanna say HI to all, cuz NOW am a REGISTERED MEMBER, here on this greate forum!
Secund, thanx to all u out there working ur best, to make it easy for us helpless hehe
Now to the subject!
Got a One X that does not start like it should. I think its something I can solve with my two hands, and hopefully not something too hard for me, to send it to some hardware fixer in some factury?!
The following things happens when I PRESS THE ON/OFF-START-button!
1- The red-charging-light turns OFF
2- The phone vibrates.
3- The red-charging-light turns ON
2- HTC Sync starts, and even "folder options" by Windows 7, there I can select to view whats on the memory, like a USB-stick.
And thats it. The screen remains black. Even in a darkroom, there were no light on the screen at all.
The phone is about a year old and I dont think its broken at all. But its the first time a phone is going black-screen on me, so dont actually know what or how to do.
Thats why I turn to u guys, and hope that you can help me in the right direction!
Big thanx from me and especially Iraq & Sweden!

OK, so it's starting like it should but black screen....
Try this - power your phone off then hold the volume down and the power button at the same time. Should start you up on a white bootloader screen. If you don't see the white screen, it's probably a hardware problem with your screen itself :crying: Do you still have warranty?

The "black screen" issue is a fairly common hardware problem from all accounts. It happened to me this past weekend. It's not clear what causes it, but a lot of people have experienced it.
I got AT&T to upgrade me early to a One. I've been fooling around with my One X, but nothing has solved it. I ran the 3.18 ruu on the chance it was a software issue, and it made no difference.

Game Over!

Hello again and thank you for your answers.
I'm really disappointed with this phone. I did not know it would be difficult and so complicated.
It's not even used much and now dead?!
I've tried everything now. Read through many forums and especially on XDA. Tested with different combinations of keys, installation of RUU and even tried to open it and see what the problem is ... BUT NOTHING
Why should this happen to this phone / model?
Always had HTC and never seen anything like this. Really disappointed: (
That said, I have not been able to solve this problem, but many thanks to you for taking the time to respond and give me tips.
Thanks / Yunyii

try putting pressure on the left side of the screen, near the edge, see if it flickers on at all. If so, it could be a loose cable.

This has happened to several people recently. Mine was still under warranty, verizon sent me replacement :laugh:
Mine was doing it on kitkat, in recovery, and on stock rom

Try this. Worked for me after a weekend of dealing with power button issues.

power button problems/Hardware failure?
so i think i got my phone around october of 2012 and i recently hate it! i loved it..i dropped and broke my first one..clumsy me..but it was innevitable..it worked great..then it was stolen got a replacement..phone i have now..i rooted it was careful about device specific blah blah and i had already fixed a hard brick im not stupid...but then my phone started acting super weird..the screen shut down when it tried working it would be dark green and fuzzy...a weekend later i pulled the sim and out it back in.. (for no reason) .. and my screen worked but my power button didnt work any more my screen wont stay asleep and my power menu continually pops up and it reboots (never completely)...like the power button would be jammed...any help idk if i can still get the root off and use triangle away cause my phone doesnt hardly stay working and when in C.W.M it selects random options usually reboot phone (first option)...is my warranty void will they replace my phone again even rooted...it is a hardware not software failure?
btw
using sch-i535 verizon galaxy s3, d2vzw, runnin pac-man jb 4.3.1 <----wasant when this first happened i restored a backup i was running cm 10.2 (jb 4.2.2)
i loved my galaxy s3 please help me love it again

I've had this problem as well but haven't found a solution yet, I'm going to try smashing it on a table like the above video suggests and see what happens
the weirdest part for me is when I odin back to stock the button works perfectly, like brand new, and then I clean flash any rom (4.2.x & 4.3) and it gradually starts messing up again, usually takes about 4-5 days for it to get to the point where I can't even boot to recovery/download.. luckily using the stock samsung cable allows me to enter and stay in download mode to odin back to stock.. rinse and repeat

LoL yeah here's the fix "smash your phone on the ground, but wait, if it doesn't work just do it harder"
That's the best thing I have ever seen.....
This has happened to me twice now.....I just take the button off and make a widget on my homescreen to lock the phone.... LoL LoL LoL this advice is too funny
"yeah dog just run over your phone wit a forklift, problems will be solved yo."

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 bug

I have had my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1" for a few hours now and suddenly the recent key and the notification bar aren't working. I've attempted to pull down the notification bar but nothing is happening. I also found that when holding down the home key Google Now no long pops up when it used to. I've read that this is a common problem when having a magnet case on the device but I haven't got a case at all!
Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Since the tablet is brand new I'd try doing a factory reset in recovery. If that doesn't solve the problem then it's time to contact whomever you bought it from. You don't want to do anything that may void the warranty.
You could also check here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/help
Hope that helps!
