Virus or short circuit? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi All,
I've got a problem with my TyTn II (I've got it in 2007). 4 days ago my Kaiser acted funny. I started to hear sound like pressing of the calling button. Then the phone started to lock itself Since then I've lost the function of all the answer/reject, softkeys, start, IE, messaging and ok button. At this point I can't do a hardware hard reset since it requires both softkey function. After around 12 hours I began to regain the function of those keys, didn't do anything but the problem persist after around 6 hours or so.
Now I've done a hard reset a few times. Even though it was freshly hard reset the problem still persist. Is it a virus or hardware malfunction?
Thanks

Well it's definatly not a virus... There has only been about 3 recognized WM virus's that do not translate to the same as we expect being computer users, also if you think of a hard-reset to be the same as doing a format reinstall on a computer then it would eradicate the virus.
Start\Settings\Clear Storage 1234 will perform a hard-reset without the need to use hardware buttons.
Try that.
Sounds like a hardware issue....
Try flash stock ROM again also.

LOL he said short circuit or a virus, BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Hmmm...go to MikeChannon's hardware page http://www.mikechannon.net/page1.html and find the link for the Kaiser, TyTN II, Tilt yada yada. Get that d-pad out and clean it all up.
These things are really not that hard to "disassemble, Stephanie" (Nice one Chumley!)
A tiny phillips and two tiny sizes of Torx®...with maybe a tiny flathead for some gentle prying, I used my fingernails!...along with some patience is really all you need.
I offer one more tip...MAGNIFICATION! Use it, even if you CAN see already...
If you still have a problem after that, well...then you may actually have a problem.
No fear, deflower that thing. Just a thought. Okay bye...

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the input. I've done the clear storage. Now my TyTn II is working like a charm. However the thing that was interesting was.. after doing the hard reset and reinstalling several software + reinstalling SKtools, my TyTn II went haywire again.. but after hard resetting again without reinstalling SKtools my PDA is fine now. I've been using it without any problem for couple of days now. When I trace back, the problem really began after I installed SKtools from a cab file. Could it be that the cab file is not good so it affected my TyTn II?

Strange battery crash.

If my phones battery runs out while i'm in a call, when i charge it again the phone seems to think its in a call and doesn't boot into the today screen.
It just sits on this screen,

(not my phone but the right screen), with the volume drop down saying In call.
the only way i can seem to get it to boot is a hard reset, and then I lose everything in my phone.
Any suggestions as to how I can get it to boot properly without a hards reset would be appreciated.

That sucks, a Battery Pull or Soft Reset doesn't work?
Nope, just tried both.
It's an XDA Stellar. I just hope it's fixed in 6.1 when the release it (hopefully) next month.

So, you are using the default ROM? After a hard-reset, use your phone with no 3rd party software and see if your phone does the same thing.
Yep Default ROM. I'll try it and see if it happens again, with no software installed

You might want to check in the Hermes thread because the phone in the picture is a Hermes not a Kaiser.

X1 optical joystick problem

Good day everyone
i'm using my X1 since about 2 weeks.
I recently did notice that after waking my phone up the "scrolling down action" is performed...so the optical joystick thinks i'm moving downwards but in fact i'm not even touching it...it not only happens after waking it up, but also when i want to scroll upwards it happens often that it's sliding downwards again when i release the touchy surface...
cleaning of the touchy surface didn't help...aswell as adjusting the sensitivity of the optical joystick...
does anyone else have that problem...or anyone out there having an idea how to fix?
mine dont have that problem at all and if hardreset dont change it i would
write it off as a hardware malfunction
Some solution?
The does same thing happen to me?
I had this problem before too. Somehow, while i was at school, i must have shaken it a lot or something, because i had P.E. that day. When i got home after i had p.e., the joystick scrolling problem stopped. I had the X1 in my pocket the whole day, so i guess when i was running in P.E., something must have shaken and the problem is now fixed.
This has happened to me only once, while browsing. It fixed itself after a soft reset. Very weird.
Solution!!!
Mine had a very similar problem. It was making calls alone once something just touched the joystick's surface. I took it to a repairing center (with a little hope once i read above comments). However they repair it, well, at least the joystick is working on its scroll funtion but when I press it nothing happends. They told me that it was repaired by just cleaningl, with paint thinner and a gum eraser, the part that is marked inside of the red circle in the image below.

Mine's got that problem too.. It was so annoying that I disabled the optical joystick thingy... Don't need it anyway
Im glad i dont use that optical thingy. Its annoying when you want to press center button on D-pad but then accidentally scrolls up or down.
Sorry for poping in this post again after er.. i think this is like a year old post. I just had this problem last month.. or maybe months. I been ignoring it for some time now but well it is getting annoying (It always make the speaker go louder for some odd reason by scrolling up or while searching for a contact it scrolls up). I have never used the d-pad and thought of disabling it but not sure how too.
No more warranty as I bought it for some time already (They said so), I send it back to the shop and they wanted to charge me MYR200 to change the ribbon. After thinking a while that d-pad only cost like $7.99USD which is MYR25.10 from cnn.cn website.
Do they mean the slider flex cable which cost MYR147.619 (After converted)?
Does that has any relation with my D-pad getting stuck at the up button?

Broken USB & bootloader broken, where to go next?

I just got back from holiday, and whilst on holiday i was using the ear phones & music player on the phone. I made the mistake of sitting down, catching the ear phones plug & bending it whilst it was plugged in. This has damaged the USB port. It still charges, but the ear phone/connectivity pins have been broken within the phone.
Too make matters worse, i reset the phone soon after (soft reset) only to be greeted with the screen below. I have tried a hard reset, loading the bootloader (camera, power & reset buttons) and every other combination of buttons iv found on the internet. So far nothing has helped/changed it. The screen doesnt rotate with the keyboard, and the off button doesnt work. (turns phone on, but not off).
I am tempted to send the phone off to HTC, as it is under warrenty but i dont know whether the fact it has a custom ROM on will effect it at all. iv had minor problems with the screen i would ask them to look at aswel.
Would a broken USB be fixable under warrenty? Then would a custom ROM (even if it doesnt boot) cause a fuss? Then finally, is there anyway to flash a new ROM to the phone without using the USB card?
many thanks guys, any advice is appreciated

iv read up on flashing a new rom via my sd card, but i am really struggling to find a the .nbh file (which i then rename). I dont spose anyone can link me to a standard .nbh file could they? Hopefully this will enable me to get it next to standard prior to sending it off to HTC.
thanks guys
if its an .exe rom update, use winrar to extract it and there you'll find the .nbh
I had the same problem, broken usb on at&t tilt, flashed a shipped rom and got a new device via a warranty exchange. I couldn't get the SPL back to original but the guys at the device support center didn't notice.
thank you for the reply mate, was just what i needed!
Unfortunatly it didnt work, and even having put the file on my SDcard and resetting the phone it still boots to the tri colour screen. Got my hopes up, as the phone did load the file and run through it...only for me to reset it and it go back to the tri colour screen.
Will the HTC device centre likely accept it all the same?
cheers guys
Tried it again, this time resetting it, loading up from the SDcard then taking the card out before resetting. Now im getting:
'' Upgrade ROM code error Please try again ''
RUUNBH has also appeared in the top right hand corner, with the same tri coloured screen.
As this is not covered by warrenty (spoke to HTC today) im a bit worried about what i can do. Does anyone have any ideas i could try?
thanks

Help needed: Strange issue when trying to turn on screen

Hi! My Galaxy Note 9 has recently started having a really strange issue.
When I press the power button and unlock it using my fingerprint, I can clearly hear the phone unlocking, but my screen stays perfectly black. When I press the power button again, it makes the stock "locking" noise that it makes. The little click.
If I don't relock the phone, it still can be used! I can actually click icons, accidentally send texts, etc. but no image....
Here's where it gets weird.
If I tap the screen two to four times and THEN press the power button, my screen turns on! I'm then able to use the phone like normal. Crazy!
However, for whatever reason I cannot use this trick when I get a phone call. So I just have to call people back.
Has anyone experienced this before? Do you have any tips to fix the problem? I have already tried restarting the phone, and powering it off and turning it back on. My last resort is a factory reset.
Welcome to XDA
May be a rootkit. If your running anything lower than Android 9, a factory reset may not purge it ie X-helper. The longer you wait the more damage malware can potentially do.
Delete Google account from phone and...
Nuke it, then reset your Google account password after factory reset.
If it persists, reflash rom. If it still persists it's hardware.
Two days ago I did click a link in a spam ad. And then yesterday the problem kicked in, so your suggestion has some pretty strong credibility in my mind. I'll take the actions you recommend. Thank you!
Maybe go with Brave browser in the future and add this modification to the new load. It globally blocks ads and some of the worst sites as well.

Touch Screen issue after May Update!

Hey guys,
I am back to the real OG forums of Android after spending a few good years with iOS devices. Ngl, missed this place a lot!
So I have been using a Pixel 4a (5G) for 2-3 weeks now, and everything was perfect until the May security update 2 days ago. Although, previously, there were a couple of touch screen issues observed by many anyway, a friend too who uses the same phone, same variant g025-e and we used to observe extremely **** typing experience while charging our phones, until this update, literally destroyed the whole experience for me specifically, and not my friend.
This update was about 16.9 mb and on the night of 1st of May, I put my phone to update and slept, within hours it was released. The next morning my frustration begins. There is a part of my screen, specifically between the app dock and home screen separator that doesn't work anymore. There is absolutely no damage to the phone, neither have I dropped it or anything. The whole "asd" row on my qwerty keyboard barely works. Tapping the letters on that row a million times might register a touch magically, but you get my point, its just extremely frustrating.
Furious, I immediately took it to Pixel Community (Pixel Community Post here) and I haven't received a reply there yet. I took it to Reddit (Reddit post here), and there isn't any help either.
I have run a couple of tests on my phone testing my screen, and to my surprise multi-touch isn't working either (I can't zoom into photos, can't use maps or anything for that matter) and my phone only detects one finger. Attaching screenshots below where you can see touch break (there is no point of posting multi-touch test here, it can only show its detecting 1 finger, and that also breaks in the area shown below):

}
As last resort, I have also tried removing my screen protector, playing with the screen-protector mode in the display settings but in vain.
Now I am thinking something definitely went wrong while my phone installed the update, and thinking of a full fresh flash of the Software after unlocking the bootloader. Please suggest what to do. Hoping for positive replies. I am not doubting the hardware because my phone just stopped working right after the update, even though the new update suited my friend's phone just fine.
Hello ,

Oh damn I'm sorry its that much for you mate. Did it happen after the update or just randomly?
the day I updated the phone, the touch screen started to not answer again on the top and then the problem is repeated gradually on the rest of the screen. I just made a factory rest, the touch screen no longer works, I will change the screen .
