Hi I tried using the search function but I think it's disabled at the moment. The screen on my friends droid always stops responding. And since it's locked theres no way to use the phone. Restarting the phone / a battery pull doesn't solve it. It just stays non responsive. The screen is still working sort of, I can see the battery charge moving and when texts are received they display at the top. But when I call her phone from mine the screen stays at the lock screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My friend is stressing over this so I'm trying to help her out.
Hi, I am having the same problem. I tried uninstalling some applications from a custom recovery, and even doing a factory reset didn't solve anything. I also tried booting without the SD card, without any luck. Actually I'm thinking about taking it to Motorola to have it repaired or replaced, cause I have no idea left about anything possible to try.

Hello guys!
I'm having some trouble with my HTC Touch Diamond. I am running the latest ROM, and the phone has worked perfectly since I've got it!
But one day it suddenly powered itself of during a phonecall and I was not able to power it on again. I removed the battery, put it in again, didn't work. Took out the battery and waited for almost 30 minutes, tried again and now it worked!
Since then the phone locks up in no systematical pattern (when I wake up in the morning it mybe locked itself, sometimes when I listen to the radio or typing an SMS..). Do you have any idea what the problem might be? Can't type in the serial number as I just have managed to turn it on.
What should be mentioned is the behavior when trying to start it. Either the phone gives no respons, or it "buzzez" and the display shows "touch diamond", but the rom version is not appearing down to the right. When it starts, it starts just as it should and no error messages is displayed.
I have not tried doing a hard reset yet, which I must say is considered the last option.
Have anyone experienced something like this? Or does anyone have a suggestion about what might be causing this?
Thanks on beforehand
Edit: have performed a hard reset now (did not format the 4gb). But the problem is not gone.. The phone just died while surfing. Now it locks at the green windows mobile-screen just before the homescreen loads (if it even boots at all...)
Please help anyone!
Upon rebooting of my HD7, many times it will show the HTC logo, then go straight to a screen showing the device being plugged into a pc. It will continue to do this regardless of how many times I reboot. The only way out of it is to reboot into the bootloader by pressing power and volume down, and then rebooting from there. Ive tried to plug it into a pc and let the zune software reflash the whole thing, but it complains that there was a problem with the restore... and when I do get it to reboot, there are NO probelms at all! (Besides the memory problem with The Harvest crashing out to the tiles like everyone else it seems). Has anyone else had this problem? Weird thing is, the first phone the TMobile sales rep brought out did the same thing! I wonder if its some kind of problem with the actual bootloader?
Had the same issue.

I'm guessing there was a bad batch somewhere, a very limited batch as you're the only other person I've seen say this
FYI. I've had this happen too. I had to pull the battery to get it fixed.

Same problem, if the phone dies and you turn it back on you get "connect your phone to computer" screen (and the phone loops turning off then back on to the same screen, and then repeats); and if you manually turn the phone on and then back on you get "connect your phone to computer" screen as well.
Battery pull is the only fix at this point. I haven't seen much of this problem either, if i find out its a hardware issue i'm getting mine swapped out ASAP.
I had similar issue just downgraded it to nodo using goldcard and the issue resolved.
Cheers.
Okay, I have been having a serious issue with my D3 lately. One time, my phone just randomly rebooted, and then it would get stuck at the red "Droid Eye" screen, where it would be laggy and such after a while. Eventually the screen would time out in like 2 minutes. After it turned off, I could not get it to turn back on. Basically dead, except I could still get notifications and even a phone call. But I could not act on any of them. it's like the phone's heart is still beating, but I can't turn the screen on. I pull the battery and reboot and it does it again. SOMETIMES if I keep touching the red eye screen I can get to get to the lock screen, but the wallpaper won't load and it's basically frozen. I even tried booting into safe mode and that didn't help. I took it to Verizon, they said they've a couple other people with a similar issue on the forums. They did a factory reset, and that has been the only solution to the issue. I have had it 3 times now, and this time I'm sticking with the Blur launcher and keeping only the essential apps installed. I'm assuming this is a software issue, and I'm currently trying to figure out if it is related to a certain app that was installed. Hoping they will fix this with an update! ANYBODY ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE? if so, any leads on another fix or what it could be?
sounds like a software issue. a factory reset doesn't do anything other than change the software.
I had a similar issue on my droid 1. it was rooted and when I installed a gingerbread from I forgot who, it got stuck at the eye, kept rebooting, and occasionally, i'd get calls and it still wouldn't work. I look forward to root.
out of curiousity, did you have to take it to the store to factory reset or is there an option for it in the bootloader(I know its locked but I have no idea to what degree)
The first time I took it to the store they did it for me, but yeah there's an option in the bootloader. Just took my back to Verizon cuz this was the 4th time it's done it, they're sending me a new one! It's okay, cuz my nice screen open 'click' sound was gone on the keyboard lol
Weird situation started tonight. Phone is my sons and is completely stock. If i pop the battery out and boot it, i am able to get in from lockscreen and use the phone without issue. If i let the screen timeout or lock it the screen will not respond to touch what so ever essentially locking me out of the phone unless i pop the battery again. Ive tried the basics, hard reset, changing lock screen settings. Any ideas? Even with a reset im leaning towards a software issue as it works fine once i do get in. I appreciate any input, thanks
Had a simular issue mine was caused with an issue regarding superuser permissions and my set cpu enabling when screen timed out. Seemed my cet cpu wasn't getting superuser and wasn't abling my phone to turn on.

Restore using a SBF, if you look under the general tab, probably page 2, look for my fast/easy unbrick. This can be applied to a unbricked device as it restores EVERYTHING back to 5.6.890 (leaves SD cards alone though). That should fix your problem.
I have a verizon bionic. It has been a reliable phone for a long time to me. I don't have it on contract at all, and only use it on wifi. Ive rooted the phone with motofail, and have had it rooted for some time. I run basic Liberty 3 v2.0
Recently, it has started with this debilitating issue. The phone is on when this happens. The screen will turn on, but the phone will not respond to touch, even though the lockscreen is visible, livewallpaper is working, and music may even be playing. The control buttons (home. menu, etc) respond with haptic feed back, but causes no reaction on the phone. I have restored the phone to complete stock, rerooted and flashed Liberty 3 v2.0, in hopes of fixing this issue, to no avail.
Also, that is the ONLY rom that I can flash on the device. I use CWM bootstrapper. When flashing any others, I get a verification failure, status 0. I doubt these issues are related, but I dont know. I have searched for help on this and can find nothing useful. Any help is appreciated, the phone is practically useless because I have to battery pull to use it every few minutes. I love this phone.
Thanks,
Hanz
Have you tried accessing it with adb via your PC when it happens? Anything in any of the logs?
