lol correcting you're is so old now, congrats you learned how to spell that word in 2nd grade. YOUR still stupid. You said "asked me if to instal custom rom os" that means you did something. You shouldn't mess with things you dont understand.

Your grammar is wrong on so many levels, I wouldn't correct someone if I were you.

Ya and YOU'RE name is wtfgalaxy. Classy and shows how much you're a noob who screwed up. I wonder if you have another account on here and don't want us to know who you are.
Whatever the reason grow up and at least be honest with us about what you did. It's not like we're going to report you or something to get the warranty void.
We're all here to help if you act civil and are honest.

HD2 Doesnt vibrate anymore..Even Htc sense

Guys i am facing a problem..i already searched the whole xda but i didnt find anything..my problem is that my htc cant vibrate anymore...even the htc sence and even when im typing to send a message...at the settings is already set to vibrate all the mods..but nothing works!!any solution please?
did you try a softreset or hardreset? also what rom are you using?
i did soft reset many times...i use stock rom 1,66....!
anyone please??
Do a hard reset. Yes, it'll wipe out all the data and apps but its worth a try. If your phone still don't vibrate, I guess you have a problem with the motor or something.
yeah thats it...
a problem can be caused by a installed program or something else...
after a hardreset, it has to work..if not, you've got a hardware defect.

Check on the back of the phone if your led flash is "pressed in". That could cause the vibrate to stop working.

Same problem here. Flash cover was pushed and stopping the vibration mechanism. openning the back cover and pushing the flash cover so that it flushes with the cover solved the problem. Openning the cover will void your warranty though.

After all this time looking for a software fix...
Good ol' mechanical remedies if an army of vibrating HD2 take over the world, now we know how to stop em
son of a ....
I had the same problem, and found my LED flash to be pushed in after reading this thread.
I opened up the case to correct it. But after putting it back together not only does vibrate not work, but the volume keys, speakers (both earpiece and speakerphone), flash, notification led, and camera all don't work.
I obviously screwed something up, but I have no clue what it could have been. I was very careful. One thing I'll note is that when I pulled the case apart, the volume rocker went flying. When putting the phone back together I got it back into place so that I THOUGHT it should work (it was seated properly and felt "clicky" for up/down movements.
But no luck, all that I listed above is non functional, and what I'm left with is a glorified 3.5 in tablet
Any ideas??

When you switch it on, Can you get the device into the bootloader?
Remove the battery (if you know that you had fastboot enabled) and then power on the device while holding the "volume down" button, what happens, does this work?
Daft question: but are you sure that there is any power in the battery? best to plug it into the mains charger just in case.
Hi !!
Thanks for the reply..

Strange one....
Just to establish base facts, I'm guessing that your phone was still running the ROM that you bought it with? and that you didn't root it and haven't made if S-OFF recently?
So ultimately you should still have a valid warranty? and if needed will at least be able to return it for service?
ya my phone is under warranty and i have not rooted it or applied any kind of mod whatsoever,, have done nothing other than few market apps..
its not responding at all...
will take it to service center tomorrow.. thanks...

Your problem sounds similar to this problem which also appeared to be caused by the market downloads and was discovered to be caused by a faulty eMMC chip, although with the users problem his phone would turn on - unlike yours...
Thanks it all seems so technical,, MY phone is not showing any sign of booting ,, not even a flash of light,,, i think it might be hard bricked d/t some hardware crash.. lets c what the service centre people say..
Wish you the best of luck with them

No screen (black) but has sound MIUI update

Hi, I'm new here so don't know if i'm posting this in the right place but here it goes... Ok i gave my HTC Inspire to a friend to install the MIUI ROM to it. Afterwards it was running smoothly and had no problems with it. A few days later my Inspire notified me that it had an update to the ROM. At first i wasn't sure to install it because it is a custom ROM and not the default one, but did the update anyways through the phone. Again, the phone worked normal all day, but at some point the screen started glitching untill it turned completly off.
The one strange thing is that the phone seems to function normally because when charged and "turned on" i can hear the sounds and notifications(like email, text and app notifiactions). Also when i connect it to my computer, it recognizes the device.
That happened about three days ago and I have not been able to discover what really is the problem and how to fix it. If there's anyone that could help me i would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Marialo
most likely was a bad update.
You should boot into recovery and reinstall miui everything should be back.
Keep in mind the devs have to set miui for each device, chances are you updated to the wrong base.
That's what i thought but can't boot into recovery because i can't see the screen... Any advice on that?
Btw, thks for the quick response
Try shutting off the phone completely and booting into your bootloader the old fashioned way by holding down the volume down key, press power, and release volume down once you see the bootloader screen.
If your screen doesn't work during that, you may have a hardware problem on your hands.
Ok thanks; will try that then.

or while the phone's on, if you have ADB installed - open a cmd prompt and navigate to where ADB is and type "adb reboot recovery"
Yup try what they said that should work. If not ruu the ruin and really root

Ok, tried with the volume and power button, but nothing happened. Thanks for the advice, but I'm kind of new with all this and don't really know how to do the other stuff that you guys told me to do... :S Should I get someone that knows a bit more or is it something that i could do with a little info. from the internet?

I don't know if you would know but... If it were hardware problems; you think I could claim that to htc? Since the phone hasn't had any accidents or anything... :/

If its rooted warranty won't cover this. Get the ruu (stock exe) from the HTC support site and run it. If the phone still has a black screen after its been returned to stock then the problem is hardware related

Phone going banana's

Started having display problems earlier last month. When i press any of the keys to turn the screen on, sometimes the screen would stay off and the buttons on the bottom of the screen would light up. If i pressed the power button again the button lights would turn off.
I would have to wait several minutes or often times pull the battery for the screen to turn on again.
I deleted ALL apps I was running and it still happened
I then decided maybe it was my ROM/Kern. so I wiped everything and flashed Pac man.
Still had the same problem so I decided I would go back to stock and attempt to lock the bootloader.
This is where my phone started acting like a 7 year old child.
In download mode the screen would stay black, but when i plugged it into the computer it showed up. even in Odin the ports would show up.
So in all my infinite non wisdom I decided to blind flash. All was going well until the end where instead of "PASS" it said reboot and kept ground hog daying on me.
then the reboots stopped. and the awesome "PASS" words showed up with a green background on odin. SUCCESS...
NOT! what a tease!
I cant get into download nor recovery mode since my screen doesnt turn on. When I boot I hear the stock boot sounds etc but the screen wont turn on nor will the buttons light up.
I've read numerous reports on the S3 just black screening on people (makes me wish I kept my galaxy nexus instead)
Now before I call in for warranty (i dont believe the phone is bricked?) will it matter if my bootloader is unlocked?
in all honesty I believe this issue is from the phone and not me flashing roms etc. but most of the members on here are much brighter and more aware of these issues so I'll let you guys decide.
Anyone else hear of this issue or am I the lone ranger here?
Thanks in advance everyone :good:

But this time the 7 year old child is deciding it wants to stay in the

[Q] Bootloop randomly!!!

I literally just woke up this morning and its stuck in a bootloop. It constantly reboots, and when i get into recovery mode it waits a second and then selects the thing thats on-screen. Really aggravating. Every time i use recovery i can only get upto either Restart bootloader<Start>Poweroff before it selects whats on screen.... This is the weirdest problem ever it boots into recovery why the F*** would it not let me select what i want. Is there a way to manually do anything through ADB??? Wasnt even flashing anything, was on the same custom rom for a few months.

If you bought it from Google play, you can RMA it in its current state. LG where you send it if you bought it anywhere else, can be a bit trickier.
You may be able to pull the power button a bit to aliviate the issue

I've no idea, never had to RMA. Just tell them the truth. It's rebooting and cannot boot into anything because you suspect a stuck power button
