Hi to all!
I have a strange problem with my HTC s710.
I bought it a month ago and it worked fine for a while, then it started to shutdown the display. Then it appears again, and the it turns off... it continues to work, but you can see nothing because the display turns off.
It's impossibile to use it. The HTC customer care sended back my phone after having upgraded the software but the problem is still here.
They wrote: "upgraded software and no problems found" but it's not really true.
I can't use the phone because the display turns off while i'm using it...
i tried to hard reset it several time without results.
Please, help me...
I would take it apart, clean the contacts and make sure it is seated properly. Does it happen when you're not using the device? Say if it's sitting on the table will the display flicker?
Unfortunately this is a very common problem with the S710... Since so many people are experiencing this issue with their phones even after hard resetting & changing roms I strongly believe it's a hardware issue.
It's not s710 only, even the microsoft emulator also have the problem
Look in the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power The Dword-key "Display". It sets the seconds for display timout. It overrides every other setting!
It happens while i'm using the phone...
for example, if i'm writing an sms, it suddenly turns off the display... then i have to wait for a while and the it appears again... and this go on for all the time...
same problem to me.... dunno what the source of the problem is
guess gonna have to take it back and ask for refund
i've already send it back to the HTC customer care and they said there is nothing to do because it works fine... (oh my god!)
I think it's an hardware problem...
Display blackout
I got the same problem too, did rom upgrades but no success, it s**ks
Its an intermittent fault.
Should someone identify the problem pls let me know !!
This is almost sure a connection problem of the Flex-cable between upper and lower part of the device. Search related threads here or on MoDaCo.
s710 display issues
Hi Guys,
This is not a LCD or flex issue, neither is it a connection issue.
The actual fault is the display driver on the main board, it seems to be an intermittant fault.
please post your findings on this topic....

What makes you so sure it is not HW related? The only thing that really changes over time is the HW (as you slide in/out the keyboard, move the device etc.pp) - SW stays as it is and if even ROM reload does not fix it, well I feel rather sure it is HW.
Anyway, hunting intermittent faults is hard to do and you may construct a causality from just coincident events - no fun nailing this down.
any solution for my problem..?
I have had so many power related issues so far. Sometimes it is the battery, sometimes it is the charging connector, sometimes LCD and sometimes even the whole circuit board.
When i had the same problem relating to intermittent off displays, I got it repaired in the warranty and they had to change the main board. I dont think there is any other solution to your problem!
Display failure
The failure of the screen is not the problem on my Vox. My screen always jumps back to the Home screen. Even while writing an SMS or scrolling in the application menu. Is there a possibility that there ever comes a Dutch version for my Vox?
It happens to me also. I tried to open the device, take everything apart then mount everything back. The problem stays. I tried hard rest, ROM flashing, soft reset, changing settings etc etc etc... The problem is still here.
Then, I left the mobile without using it for 6 month or so. I am using it again and the problem doesn't happen so often but still happens. Any news on this matter?
I solved this problem because my device was still under warranty: I had to get back it to HTC four times before to fix it.
They changed me three motherboard and finally it seems to work fine...
hi,behind the sim reader there is a small switch,either open it or close it,remove the sim reader to and push it back to open the switch or open the housing and do it manuelly.

And what is supposed to happen after that? Also, I guess we have to open again the phone to find this switch because I can't see any switch otherwise. Can you please post a picture of it?
After unlocking my phone with ChevronWP7 and now my screen goes black during a call and is unusable. The connection is fine, but its like my proximity sensor is doing its job even when the phone is away from my face. I checked and there is nothing physically blocking my sensor. I have to wait for the other person to hang up, then my phone shows the lock screen. I did a reboot but this didn't fix the problem. I don't know if this is device specific but I'm running an HTC HD7 without the software update. Here's everything I did after the unlock:
Prevent my phone from relocking:

Change my theme color:

And lastly installed a couple custom ringtones.
Unfortunately, I can't say after what step this started happening as I didn't get a call until I was all done.
Anyways, If anyone as had this same issue or a possible way to fix it without a hard reset, I'd sure appreciate some help.
Thanks,
JT
the problem is in your sensor.....it's hardware related problem and have nothing to do with software, use your warranty to fix it
Hi,
I have a problem with proximity sensor.
I looked through many threads here, but they didn't solve it to the end.
Problem:
When I am making/received call, my screen goes blank (near ear or far).
Tried using various apps (ProximityOFF, Sanity, ScreenBl), also tried adding "gsm.proximity.enable=false" to a build.prop file in system, didnt help.
At the moment I am using ScreenBl (it is always on), but it works kinda weird - it helps me keep screen awake during every SECOND call, i.e. call happens - screen off, call happens - screen on, call happens - screen off, call happens - screen on and so on.
Also, during that every second call with screen on, if i press speaker button twice, screen goes off (until call is ended).
So i wanted to ask, maybe someone found a solution of how to PERMANENTLY disable proximity sensor?
Thanks
P.S. I also cant figure out why it happens every SECOND call... maybe if you could help with that, we could find a solution?..
P.P.S. It's a Galaxy S, Darky's ROM, 2.3.3 - worked fine for many months, until couple weeks ago (dont know what changed....)
Edit: Same thing is happening without ScreenBl - still screen is on/off every second call...
hey,
similar issue with my SE xperia x10, the touchscreen broke in that corner where the sensor is so every time i make a call the screen gets locked and i have to remove the battery to end it.
the solution i found was intalling this app: Screen On from the market.
it keeps the screen on when some apps or process are running. i choose "active call".
please excuse my spelling, english is not my native language!
i hope you can solve the issue!!
rgrds,
Manuel
Hello there.
I have recently had to replace my screen on my miro due to a crack, This went successfully in the fact the phone now works as before, with one minor problem. Since trying to make and receive calls my phone automatically goes to a black screen. this after many searches on the net resulted me to conclude that the sensor is blocked, as the screen digitizer was slightly different for the top left of screen too. the place where the sensors live. In can go round the problem with a set of earphones but sometime a call will cut off more using them. I downloaded the hardware disabler developed on this site but it doesn't load any drivers and then crashed, there also appears to be no other hardware disablers out there, or at least none I can find.
Basically I need some help on restoring the call function, either by fixing the proximity sensor or by getting rid of it
Any help will be welcome on this matter.
thanks
Hello everyone ... on my Nexus 5 once again happened some incredible problem with vibration ... Here's the thing: Last night my Nexus just lay on the bed and when I took it, at this point I found the lack of vibration. First, I turned on Vibrate when pressing the navigation keys, and found no vibration. At first I began to sin on the vibrating motor, but I remembered that I was already have this problem a few months ago, in the same way. When I downloaded from the Market program to test the vibration and turned her to work constantly, I found that the vibration motor that works but is very weak, as if barely barely turns .. As if he did not have enough energy. But! Motor is spinning so bad until not "turn off the screen." After blocking in a few seconds the vibration motor is working again as if nothing had happened! As well and clearly. However, once you unlock it as soon as the problem returns, vibration works very poorly. I have tried different programs for vibration control, no result. Found a video on YouTube of the problem, attach below. If the problem is simply to reiterate, I would like to know the cause .. This problem is very infuriated me yesterday, vibration at all almost no and I missed a few calls. I understand the engine is all right and I think that this is some sort of deep software problem...
I have already booked two motors, then try to replace, but not sure it will help .. Phone never fell or dropped, handle carefully. (but the body have a little small scratches ) A very long time looking for information on this issue on the internet, but found nothing ..
I dont want to go to the service center, I want to understand itself, with your help, of course ..
Factory reset or Reflashing ROM to any other doesn't help too...
Model - D281 16GB white.
ROM - CM11 Snapshot M9
Kernel - ElementalX 1.04cm
Recovery - TWRP 2.7.1.1
Can not listen to what people say on the video, the main thing to hear the vibration motor.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Russia and I write through Google translator... Hope on your help, guys..
