Hey guys, i have a huge problem with my tilt, it is driving me crazy. My keyboard is acting crazy. When i press some keys it will give me a double key, like if i press i or o it will write io, and i know that they are close together and that mite be the problem but sometime if i press R it writes ri or ro, its really only with these 3 keys. I was wondering if anyone out there had this problem (funny i had this problem with the phone i had this replaced with the p990i) and how to solve it. i really hope its not a hardware problem cuz i bougth the damn phone from someone on ebay, brand new.
please help, i have the htc rom installed, sleuth 1.0. thanks guys, i appreciate it alot
I had the same problem. It is a bad keyboard membrane. You will need to replace the membrane or send it in for repair. I had att replace me.
great. i dont have att so that means that i will have to sent it to htc right?
damn i never get anything good on ebay (and i keep telling myself that it will be the last time i buy something from ebay). I mean the damn phone was new.
So can i contact htc and send it to them and will they replace it for free? cuz sure att isnt since i have no account with them.

If you bought it BRAND new, sure!! Forget the bull**** on HTC's website about proof of purchase. The Ebay receipt print off is good enough or your cred card statement for the purchase (erase the rest for anything else!!! ). Just as anywhere else, DON'T take no for an answer.
yeah, im not gonna get no for an answer for sure. i paid good money for this. I think i am gonna get my friend to send it to att so i can get a replacement right away, now i gotta flash it back to att crap rom and hope my friend is up to, i heard htc takes its time to get things done and that would mean no phone for 1 month. damn this sucks, thx for the support guys.

Found on a 'Bork'?? thread here.
do you by any chance have htc keyboard+keypad installed?
try uninstalling if you have it in there.
seriously? now peoples keyboards are F'ing up? damn.. what is next
I've already gone through so many I've lost count. Frys Electronics is getting tired of me coming into their store every other day with another problem on a new Tilt, lol
First it was the side scroll wheel, it didn't even work
Second was the usb port, it was so tight that when I went to take the usb charger off it, it pulled the usb port out some with it.
Third and most recent was a dead pixel and a slider that closed too far.
Do I just have bad luck? lol
dont have anything installed, just did a hard reset so no progs installed. it looks like its screwed up and how lucky it is exaclty the sam prob as my p990i (which i thought was software problem) but its not.
Hi there,
Well I have had my wizard for a while now and the screen has managed to aqiure some scratches over the years and I found out that on ebay you can get a new screen for like £8 with tools and instructions, so this got me thinking, as I really like this phone even though it is old and outdated it still manages to keep up in some areas and thanks to you guys it keeps getting new software and os's so I thought well instead of spending £400 on a new phone why not spend like £50 on a new screen and then possibly fix the biggest problem i have with this phone, the RAM.... its really not enough and i was wondering if it was possible to get a new upgraded RAM chip and just get someone experienced in soldering and stuff to take out the old one and put in a new one. Now I know this really sounds far fetched and even if it is possible it may end up way to expensive, and alot easier to get a new phone but if anyone has any ideas if it is possible id love to know.
PS sorry if this is a seriously dumb question but I like my massive outdated smart phone I just wish it had more ram.
Thanks
Well to all those interested, i have found out that it is possible to get it to 128 MB but it will cost around £70 and i can get a secondhand HTC TYTN II for £100 so I think ill go for that instead.
That's cool
Is it available freely or did you have to do a lot of digging?
And any ideas how to install the new memory?
Well from what i found out in another thread on this site is that a company called retronix will take your phone in and change the ram chips for you. Here is the thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359590
I have sent them an email asking about it but have not recieved a reply.
I hope this will be helpfull for you, I have decided against it as you can buy a second hand tytn II for almost the same price and also as I will start uni in september I will be getting a contract that comes with the Touch Pro 2 cant wait it looks like an awsome phone.
I cracked my screen so I decided to order a new one and fix it myself, while in the process I accidentally tore the top flex circuit board and now I can't find spare parts other than screens anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get some or have one that is broken I am willing to pay ...
Hate when **** like that happens. . . try to fix something and something doesn't go right.
Not sure where you can get the parts you're looking for, but wanted to give props to you for taking the initiative to try and fix it yourself. Alot of people will be like "that's what you get for not just sending it back to HTC and having them fix it." How're you going to appreciate the intricacies of something if you don't take the occasional risk like this?
Hope you find what you're looking for.
Ps. Have you looked at http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp to see if there's anything you could repurpose to work?
Ha yea, I am definitely a DIY-er. Unfortunately this is a risk I knew I was taking heading into it, wasn't too worried though because I have fixed a lot of cell phones in the past, just got a little too careless with prying open with a flat head screw driver, it slipped and cut right into the flex circuit board. Should have been a little more careful haha. New screen looks great though! Now only if I could get it to power on! Of course HTC tells me it will cost up to $300 to send it to them to fix it.

Not sure exactly, but is this what you are looking for? http://cnn.cn/shop/google-nexus-digitizer-p-8252.html
Yea I tried that number and also that lunacommerce site is located in China, no prices on their website, no way to purchase anything other than contacting them first (which I have tried to no avail...). You would think some online store somewhere would have started selling spare refurbished parts. Whatever, guess I will have to pay HTC to fix it, kinda sucky.
If you find somewhere that can help you, please post back. I just had a similar experience, replaced the digitizer and the display wouldn't work afterwards. Figured I had damaged the AMOLED, so purchased another. Problem still persisted.
I've decided that I must have damaged the AMOLED connector on the logic board.
The upside is I can still use the phone when connected to a PC and using Android Screen Monitor.
So now I've ordered another Nexus One, I find it hard to get by without my daily Android.... it became an expensive drop of the phone.

No that is what I replaced in the first place. I am looking for the Logic Board. I will keep searching and update this thread if I ever figure it out. Going on 3 days without a phone and only being able to use Google Voice via my computer is starting to drive me insane!
phone stuck in demo mode...I got mine from ebay. there is no way of connecting the device to the pc I have pc cable connected and windows mobile device center installed and zune installed. zune detects the device but windows mobile center does not. In order to install a rom you need usb connectivity. I can't get it at all with this device. Am I stuck with a knockoff demo? the guy wont even respond on ebay. he seems legit. I got it within the next day like he said. guess i'll just send this back and wait till monday and get a real one. or if anyone on here can help that would be great.
I put in my sim card. I can send and receive text messages and call people. i can log into my own hotmail account and get email. I can't log into facebook or marketplace or any of the other programs.
okay I figured it out myself. this is what you do. you have to turn the phone on pressing power button and hold down volume button and let it go into the red blue green white screen that shows the radio info and everything wait till usb comes up at the bottom and then install this.

I am no longer in demo mode.
OMGsame thing happened to me from Craigslist, can u go step by step on how u installed it.. Thanks so much.
By the way did ur screen turn on every other minute showing the demo screen.
Dude you will be my hero if you can make it work for me.
when you install it will turn off at 11% don't panic it will come back on and finish installing.
i explained how to already.
Ok I get into the blue green screen and it says USB, then what?. Does the download have the program to install from.sorry I'm at work using my phone lol
download the signed rom. double click it. and go through the steps. do this from your pc
Ohh okay. Sorry lol. I'm excited BC I was so pissed that it was in demo mode..
was ur screen turning on and saying touch to see this phone or whatever before? And is it now after the rom
So what you guys have are store demos that someone sold you underhandedly and are most likely stolen? Why wouldn't you wait literally one day and get an actually HD7 from a store with a return policy and a warranty?
I got mine from a legit seller on ebay. not stolen. He sells only phones. he told me today that he is selling them regardless of the nov 8th release date.
If your right than there was just a mix up at htc and the wrong rom was loaded. In that case your seller should express ship a replacement and we can expect a lot more people to have your problem.
But what it sounds like to me is your seller has a store somewhere and htc gave him a couple demo units to display that he put on ebay early to make a few extra bucks. Not your fault, but I would be worried in that case that my phone doesn't have a warranty. No way htc honors any warranty issues with a demo IMEI and your seller isn't going to be any help either.
Im just happy I got a phone that works. All I had to do was replace the rom. I will most likely be replacing this phone in a year or two when a better version comes out. not that big of a deal. my friends are jealous. they have iphone4.
samsung focus
Ok i have the same problem, I bought a focus on craigslist and have the same issue, stuck in demo mode, the only problem i have is there is no rom or clue how to install it. Any help from you guys would be great.

dude, you are not getting it. What the other poster is trying to tell you is that most likely you will not be able to use any warranty on the phone, so if the phone breaks, you are out of a phone. Hopefully you can add insurance to it, but if the imei is flagged, then probably not.
Good luck.
This one worked well for me ! Thanks for posting.

Actually, the DEMO mode is for stores to display. I think we all know that. I heard some TMobile stores actually sold these devices after they ran out of stock. In addition, I have heard that several stores, or more, have had their demo versions stolen. Any of these would generate the situation you are in.
If you purchased one of these devices from a store...take it back. They should exchange it. If you did it over ebay or craigslist....you get what you pay for .....including the warrenty.
Demo mode? It was stolen lol
Hi everybody,
Can you please plz plz showed me how to do it on HTC Surround ? I got that same sh*t .... plase help ...

Thanks u all,
Hi I have a faulty Nexus 10 with a cracked screen and battery (randomly failed, not due to same fault as screen), everything else works fine, i was wondering what my best course of action would be? to get it repaired, buy new and keep old as spare, buy new battery (cant get screen for love nor money) or sell the working components and then put the rest towards a new nexus 10. If this is in the wrong section please let me know and i will move it. also if you are interested in buying any components please PM me or reply to this post. It is the 32GB version btw.
Thanks for your advice im really in need of it.
You should put this in question section to get more help
