Urgent help needed!

Help.. my Kaiser just died on me.. Just an hour ago it was working fine, then it went to sleep mode and it wouldn't wake up.. so the only way was to take the battery out.. I took the battery out and then it wouldn't load pass the Smart mobility screen. It just stays like that.. I tried taking the battery out for 30 minutes and it still doesn't work..
What happened to my kaiser and how can I fix it>?

What ROM are u using? and have u recently used clear temp?
If the answer to the above is Duttys and yes...
then Hard reset...no other way
There is an issue with Duttys hybrid and clear temp.

Did you purchase this from AT&T?
What has their tech support said?
Is it still under warranty? If so I would return it for warranty replacement.
This sounds like something failed in your hardware causing a software failure - if it is hardware you are going to want a new machine.

No I never used clear temp. This just happened out of the blue while I was at work.

Hold down Camer, Power & then push the reset tab & hold all three down until the tri-color screen pops up. See if you can get it into BL mode. Let me know.

Seems like the hard reset did the trick.. actually 2 hard resets.. the first one didn't work, it still froze there.. then a second one got it loading again...

thats a very, VERY naughty android.
anyways, why don't you unroot your phone and send it back to HTC. its still under warranty for 10 more days atleast
They should be able to fix it for $39 (or free0
call them. that way you can experience the phone like its supposed to be experienced

you have to finger the green guy really hard to get him to go away, and if you finger him just right, then he will return every time you wipe your phone.

Fixing the light ambient sensor?

Hello all, I've got a rather complicated problem I was hoping that someone here would be able to help me with, before I have to resort to getting a replacement phone.
I while back my Hero stopped working after some water damages. I managed to fixed the thing by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol, it turned on and everything, but the brightness setting would cause the screen to flickers out of control, or just go off altogether, until I decrease the brightness to the lowest setting.
Ok, this still works out for me, unfortunately due to some carelessness, I broke the connector on the screen. Of course, the next best thing to do was to buy another screen from ebay. I was hoping that somehow that this would fix the brightness issue as well, but of course it didn't. The phone boots and runs just fine once I lower the brightness all the way, except for one problem: I get no bootscreen.
When turning on the phone, I can feel it turn on because it buzzes once, but I will see nothing on the screen until it gets to the lockscreen. I assume that this has something to do with the sensor keeping the screen off because the system hasn't boot completely to get the brightness setting down? Anyways, I was happy with it able to boot, so I went on to do my normal rooting thing. Everything went fine except I get no data connection after rooting Cyanogen/AOSP, so I used ROM Manager to install the OTA update, and after the phone restarted, it never comes back on again...
I have a feeling that it's giving me some sort of error, I just can't see it because I don't get to see the boot process. I can't boot into recovery either because I can't see that screen either. My only guess is that the light sensor has something to do with this.
Does anyone have any idea how I can go about to fix it if this is at all possible? Is there any way I can revert it back to factory without having the need to see the recovery screen? Or maybe if someone has an idea on how I can do this blind...
I know, crazy problem, but I'm really stuck here, and looks like I won't have a phone for the next few days...
I appreciate any help in advance.

Ouch.... it is alot!
So I hope ur due very soon for a new phone... sometimes u can see old heros for $30 or $40.... but until then...
I think ur best bet is the RUU via usb from HTC since u can't see certain screens and with this method it's just plug and wait Cuz ur computer will tell when it's finished.
The RUU zip file requires that u can load into hboot screen so unless u can, then that's no good.
Good luck

Thanks! I'm not due for a discount for another month, and my contract doesn't expire for another 2 months after that...
Can you tell me how I can get to the hboot screen? I think I can get to the Recovery Screen by holding [Home]+[Power], although I just can't see it to make any selection/change. Is there a specific button combination to get to the hboot?

Hboot:
From off...
Lower Volume button + power button at the same time

Basically I just hit [+] twice and let the software does its thing. Thank you!

Screen does not shut off when in call.

My phone ever since I got it has not turned off the screen when in call. my cheek keeps pressing against the screen and presses thing while in call.
What allows the screen to know when to turn off? eg.sensing cheek on screen or the light sensor being covered up or the way the phone is held.
Is there a setting I should look into?
I have the phone as: rooted, s-on, faux kernel, ruu rom, twrp recovery.
Thanks
Also when I put the phone face down to activate the speaker, the speaker does not turn on.
I went to this site: htt.....p://androidforums.com/htc-vivid/606680-screen-shuts-off-during-phone-call.ht....ml
and they said that it was some corruption with the phone. I hope that not the case and that there is a fix.

If you can't solve this problem try to go "Phone" app then press "menu" then "settings" then find screen off when phone or type of,and put a check! Or if this can't to help you, take wet wipes and clean the part where the sensor is located! NOTE: If you have screen protector take away your protector and clean there then call and try without screen protector!

I had a screen protector, so ill take it off. Where is the sensor? What does it sense (heat,light)?
Thanks

Remove your screen protector then clean the entire upper part of the phone to the middle. Then try to call and tell me did your screen shut off

It didnt work. actually the feature where i flip the phone upsidedown to activate speaker phone during a call doesnt work either. I think sense is messed up. It used to work though. I am stock with faux's kernel at the moment.
I did check the setting for the phone flipping and its enabled too.

The sensor is located at the upper left side of the screen and detects changes in light, I'd recommend u RUU, try to see if the sensor works and the flip for speaker and then root again cuz it could be an unidentified bug of that kernel with that specific stock rom.

i install the ruu (RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Rogers_WWE_3.43.631.2_Radio_3.05.4740.21_34.30.701040.22_release_264282_signed) its still does not work. The kernel is 3.0.16-g25afef7 [email protected] #1 smp preempt

additional info
I also tried using the app to recalibrate the snesor but it doesnt work, gives me some polling error. (http://allmobilsoft.com/android/a_system/2177-dhd_proximity_sensor_recalibrator.html). I also got a app from the play store to recognize my sensor, but my sensor is unresponsive at 9cm. im not sure if the app works or not on htc raiders. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS50aWdlcm1vbnN0ZXIucHJveGZpbmRlciJd). maybe my sensor is busted. I know if the sensor starts working then the screen will turn off during call and the auto speakers should work. so I managed to nail down the problem maybe.

Ahg my friend then it sounds like your sensor is messed up, since you flashed the ruu maybe, if you have warranty they'll give you another vivid cuz it's a hardware error from what I understand. And yes that app is compatible with the vivid. Also they don't check the bootloader when its a hardware error so if they ask you if you rooted your phone, say no, but make sure you've relocked and flashed the ruu. Normally if it's your firs incident like this, they replace your phone for free. Good luck

Actually i think htc directly can help you with that, I dont know about rogers, but when I had my evo 3d I had problems with signal and they told me it was hardware malfunction and told me and told me to call htc and they did help me with the issue. it was two years ago though but you should give it a try.

Actually... its a proximity sensor that turns the screen off... it sucks... i don't know how to word it... its boolean... so its either on... or off... no in between... I personally tried all the build.prop tweaks trying to get it working faster... no dice...

So it isn't software fault... On the wakelock detector it show that the keuguard is keeping the screen on.. It is possible that it's hardware problem but the software keeps the phone on?

In normal situation when you press the button you activate the keyguard and it going to sleep after a few time. The software (keyguard) follows the hardware (button). In your case because of the damage of the hardware the button is always on and holds on the keyguard. Maybe i'm wrong but one other solution is to install a custom rom and deactivate the hardware button with the problem. You can activate and the navigation bar if you want. I think that can solve the problem also.

I would have opened up the phone and take a look. Disconnect/reconnect all cables inside and hope for the best

Don't open the phone if its still on warranty, just get it to the repair center. If you have no luck with getting your phone repaired for free try opening it as your last resort
EDIT: its obviously no software issue, it would be fixed by making a factory reseT/install custom ROM but you say you have already done that.

It isnt on warranty...and if it is its water damage and 99% they won't fix it!!!

Sometimes there is only a rest of water in phone. (Also same days later)
Put the phone without accu a few days in uncooked rice! (Maybe it is to late. Immediately after the bath rice is the best you can do)
