Hi all,
The last day of warranty passes and my capacitive buttons back and recent buttons stop working. They were weirdly blinking few days back but never to an extent that i though would be a problem. I dropped the phone on carpet, phone is working fine now but the capacitives are unresponsive. No lights at all and 95% of the time unresponsive. They start working at a certain angle or when I tap at the bottom from behind and randomly stop working. Did all the software changes and also changed the ROM, nothing has worked. Can this be fixed without taking apart the full motherboard( i dont mind opening up the back and fixing a connection inside, if I know what I am looking for)? Is there anyway to fix this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah seems like a hardware issue. Why dont you take it to samsung for a repair apart from the warranty. Dont go to a local repair shop.

Hi everyone!
Sad thing happend with me, 4 days ago i fell into a river and sadly ma diamond was in the pocket. I dryed it for three days, turned it on, everthing else works, besides the screen light. So i dissambeled the phone to bits and pieces, only i didn't took the LCD out(read it from somewhere that you can't put it back on afterwards so it will work). I reassambeled it and still same situation. If you look it from a angel you can see the icons and even touchscreen works. Only problem is still the backlight. So is there something i can do to make the backlight work again or i have to buy a new screen and is it hard to swap the screen ?
Hi,
Not sure if you will need to replace the screen, if you can get to the power settings you can see if the backlight has been manually turned down. If this fails and a screen replacement is required i will tell you how easy/difficult it is once i have replaced mine, due to unfortunate circumstances.
yeah, i got into the power settings, everthing is okey there like it should be , so i have to change the screen. Is there some kind on intrcutions for changing it? it would help me a lot
Well ive had my phone for a while with hyperdragon iv iolite working completely fine without any hardware or software issues for months. Today i took out the battery of the phone, and put it back in and turned it on, but when the phone turned on, the touch scrren is not responding to anything. everything works fine with all the buttons and keyboard, but the touchscreen isnt working. What could have gone wrong just by taking out the battery. I also havnt dropped or damaged the phone in anyway so i dont see it being a hardware problem. Thanks. I really need help
I have heard of people who has been able to solve this problem by hard resetting the devise. I have had not such luck....comes to be that from sliding wear and tear the connector to the screen gets damaged. My screen is completely disable, I found someone that was able to buy a second hand phone on ebay and was able to switch the connector. Looks like to much of a hassle to me, so Im sticking with this until I switch phones.
Hey guys, I was wondering if somebody would be able to maybe help me diagnose the fault\problem part with my non-working diamond...
Basically I went to a club one night and the place was unbelievably steamy / humid. My phone was working one minute and then the next it wouldnt display anything on the LCD. The backlight was working however.
Since then I havent been able to get an image on the screen although when trying to turn it on, it seems to go through its startup sequence (backlight -> vibration -> beep (i think))
I havent had any power to the phone since a day after it broke (a few weeks ago).
I'd like to get it back working again but dont know exactly what part i would need to replace. I'm fairly competent with electronics .
Any help/advite would be appreciated!
Haha, ok that's odd...
I've plugged it into my pc to get some data files off about an hour ago.. forgot about it and just looked at it now and the screen is displaying!
It is displaying and accepting input although it was flickering at first (like pixel shifting). but i pressed the power button to standby the screen and pressed it again and the display is fine with no flickering ?
Ive moved the phone about and shook it quite hard to see if there's any loose connection but the display still seems fine..
Anybody have any ideas as to what it may be?
I'm not going to deem it as fixed until I know what the problem was/is lol
cheers guys
Ok screen actually keeps flickering nonstop, and sometimes 'fades away' to gray/white/black
comes back after a few seconds though
Looks like a faulty connector?
Hey guys,sorry for bringing this up.
Whenever i dial,screen goes black and doesn't come back on.
If i place it flat on a table,then it gets lit but as soon as i rotate the device it goes black again.
My HD7 recently started having this problems...
It started happening after i replaced the micro sd inside with a bigger one.
So my concern is that somehow it moved or got dust when i removed the back plastic cover? Where is it placed anyway?
I tried hard resetting 2 times but nothing works. It would be cool if there was a registry or app to take control of it. Can somebody help?
PS. i cannot send it back because i live in Albania (no official htc shops either around here)
Thanks!
Hello,
The proximity sensor is located on the top left of the device, you can see it when viewed under a bright light. Have you applied any screen protectors which can interfere with them? Replacing the sd card should not have any effect on the proximity sensor. When you rotate the device when the call is placed, the screen should go black by default cause of the sensor
@rhn thank you for your reply.
My phone does not have any screen protector or cover of any kind. Also,if i rotate it while in call it still remains black. As soon as i press the call button,screen goes black and wont come back until the call is ended by the person on the other side.
Really really annoying... Oh sometimes it even flashes after the call has ended...
Sounds like a hardware fault ...have you tried updating your rom?You can find a compatible rom in the rom development subforum..
Yep,tried that too. Just updated today and still the same issue.
It also happened after i changed the micro sd,so maybe something has moved in there. There's no other way than try to open the device and check it out,i guess :/
If you can think of something else,let me know
Warranty
Warranty replacement worked for me.

Thanks bofett, i cannot get a replacement. Warranty for this phone was for 5 days!!! (stupid i know....i totally regret picking it up) So that means i'm screwed...
Thank god i still have my great HD2 so i can start opening this phone without fear
About a couple weeks ago I cracked the digitizer(touch screen) on my Lg Thrill and replaced it. Before doing this everything was fine with the phone...I upgraded to GB and it is also rooted but like I said everything was working just fine until I replaced the digitizer. Now every time I make or receive a phone call the phone goes black like it was close to my ear. This only happen if I answer the call and if I make a call it happens right away.The phone is still on and the calls go through but the phone goes black and is useless and I can't even hang it up until the other person hangs up. Not even pressing the power button on the top helps. I have checked and nothing is blocking the sensor on the front of the phone and the new digitizer I got from ebay but again it is a perfect fit and nothing is blocking the sensors...Any Ideas or suggestions? anything would be a great help thank you!

The sensor that the phone uses in order to register face proximity is just to the left of the forward facing camera. Ensure this is connected nice and solid (reseat the wire if necessary) and make sure there is no dust in it as this will likely cause it to behave as it has. Simply replacing the screen won't do this, but improper cleaning before replacing the screen could. You may have to tear the phone down again just to reseat the screen itself.

hmm i had the same issue BUT mine would do it when i cracked the digitizer, which is weird.. replacing my digitizer fixed the issue or it just cleared up itself, try resetting the phone.. Or like zombie said, Tear it down and clean the connectors and sensors

I have taken the phone completely apart and used a can of compressed air to clean it I double checked the sensor connector and made sure there was no dirt or dust in or around the connections. I put the phone back together and made a test call...still doing the same thing
But I did notice that when I made a second test in a dark room the phone did not go black and when I moved the phone close to a light the phone went black....needless to say I am so confused now more then ever. I did a third test and the same thing happened. So any other ideas as to what may be going on??? Seems like the sensor is working no? just in reverse??? Maybe the tint in the new digitizer is too dark? but this still makes no sense as to why the phone goes black when it gets exposed to light. Anyway any other help would be great right about now THANK YOU!
