the "shadow" is visible only with che screen off, and it's not of the screen protector....i removed it yet!
it appears only some times, not every...
what could it be?!?
Thanks!
Hi, I also have this on mine. I had one spot, but now it have been split into two smaller spots. I'm not sure what it is, seems like some kind of liquid??. When I press my finger on it, it floats around. I'll be happy if anyone can explain what this is. Maybe my dear Trinity needs a service ?.
i sent an email to the htc support with the photo of the problem...waiting for an answer!
It looks like liquid between the digitizer and the LCD.
you need send Trinity to assistance... your lcd screen need to be changed
little bit of advice, send it via the retailer you purchased from. Not direct to HTC. Retailers (in my experience) can get a little funny if you bypass them.
but,it comes an goes randomly...for example, yesterday night it was there and from this morning until now there's nothing...
could be the magnet of htc case
you can explain better?
my english isn't good, but the clip magnet of the case have a little attraction also inside the case... so maybe a magnet a little bit more "power" **** your touchscreen... pda should put into case always with touchscreen beside magnet because battery take a good shield and you haven't problems... but in your case it's late. I think it's the magnet of case that broke your touchscreen... check if direction of touchscreen problem is the same of Clip
here the answer of the htc team:
"Dear Sir,
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe support.
With regards to your query, it is a possible fault with the handset. I would advise that you contact your retailer. However if they are unable to assist please respond and we will assist you further."
I dont know to express right in english, but i try: If you go from a warm humid place to a cold place water in the air is condensing (!?)) on surface (like in winter on thin windows) that could explain why this happens only sometimes.

Moisture is the possible problem. I had a SonyEricsson P800 that I dropped in the lake. It had the same type of discoloration, only worse because it was IN the lake. It finally dried out and even worked but there were always little bubbles (minerals) in between the plastic touch membrane and the LCD screen. Try putting your phone in a slightly warm dry place overnight.
Ok,thank you.
This morning i have put the P3600 in a packing with 4 envelop of "silican gel",anti-moisture.... what you think about this?

probably best to stick it in the airing cupboard. That would be nice n warm.
At my work, our engineers keep getting pentablets wet (when it rains - they use them as an umbrella), I advise them to stick it in the airing cupboard, and it works a treat.
Hi guys,
I have this phone for more than a month and I have exaclty the same problem.
I went back to my retailer and when I showed the screen there was nothing !!
Yes it is definitively random.
But I am not sure this is not linked to the protection. I noticed this problem after I put the protection and even if there is still the problem when you put off the protection, it seems to disappear after a while.
So my question is : is there a guy having this issue and who has never used a protection ? And if you remove your protection, is it totally disappearing or not after a while ?
One last thing, when you have the problem have you try to remove partially the protection ? On my screen the shadow becomes bigger !!
EDIT : I Have a new case (noreve) with a magnet button at the bottom (so not on the screen) and I still have the problem
hi!
well, i start to think that there's a link with the screen protector (i have a brando ultra clear). Could be that the the screen protector with his electrostatic power attracts too much the "touch screen" creating separation from the lcd screen?
Because thinking about, there was no problem until i try to install the screen protector...we should try to uninstall the screen protector for some days, and look if the problem comes back...
This is my protection :
http://www.covertecstore.com/fr/t-s...00-t-mobile-mda-compact-screen-protector.html
I think there was two kind of protection, one ultra clear and the other ultra ....
You can do the test to remove the screen protection for few days and check if you still have the problem.

I'm testing what you said...tomorrow i will tell you what has happened...
did you try to remove che screen protection for few days???
News:
without screen protector, there isn't the problem...
so,i think there are two possible options:
1)the screen protector ,with his electrostatic power, attracts too much the "touch screen" creating a little separation from the touch screen and the lcd screen;
2)when I removed the screen protector with the scotch,i involuntarily raise the touch screen from the lcd favoring the exit of the moisture that probably had entered some time before.
What you think?Did you try to uninstall the screen protector?

This evening, during a party, some friends pulled me (clothed) into the swimming pool: obviously, I had my nike in my pocket...
The phone had been underwater for about two seconds and when I have taken it out it was still on, but the screen was saying "Are you sure you want to erase all data?" (or something else).
Tomorrow I will try it, do you think I can save it or not?
I'm praying...
Hurry, put it in a Jar with rice, totally covered, it's not a joke, the almidon of the rice will dry your NIKI, let it with the rice at least 3-4 days.
Good luck.
I heard something about rice, but I operated in other way.
After posting my message, I opened the phone, dried it with an hairdryer and left it opened until today morning.
After reassembling it seems to work, but:
1) The screen has shadows
2) When the screen turns off I'm unable to switch on beacause retrolight starts but the screen keeps black. The phone works, only the screen is blank.
Do you think it could be a screen problem or other hardware's?
Any idea?
It has not be a good idea to dry your NIKI with a hairdryer, it's too muhc hot ; maybe some components has moved or, maybe, still is water inside, try with the rice...
The problem can be that, if were water inside the niki and you turned it on, the could be shortcircuits in some componets
So, the mainly idea is, put your niki into rice during 3 - 4 days to obtain a fully dry, and see what happens.
Good luck
Also, dont overdue on the rice, you know what happened last time:

I don't know, what's happened?
Anyway, do you think that my screen problems could be due to humidity?
The phone works perfectly except the screen that when it switches off for energy saving force me to re-start it because it's blank (but the retrolight works).
Do you think that by changing the screen I can solve the problem?
Sorry about that, if you seen the image it's a "kung fu panda" rice joke.
I left my pocket in the bathroom during my shower once some while back, and the screen now has some humidity that's only noticeable when the screen is all white or completely off, its only in the centre and it if touch it, the humidity moves to the sides but it comes back when I stop pressing the finger.
It works the same way and nothing stopped working, but then again, its was not fully wet.
With my Qtek S100/S110 I used to leave him in the bathroom always during my shower, but apparently these new models just can take it...
I never took this model apart and I don't advise ppl to do so, but the humidity can be between the LCD screen and the touch screen, so it should be as simple as separate and clean them, but you'd probably be better off if a professional did that.
Good luck.
And I wasn't making fun of the rice idea, it seems plausible, but I think its needs to be in physical contact with the soggy areas to have effect..
It's really strange: as I said, the only problem that the phone had after the "bath" was the unability to turn on the screen when turned off for energy saving. The only solution was to turn off energy saving options, I said myself, the battery operativity would be less but the phone functionality would be ok.
After a week of use, the screen stopped to work. A morning, I took the phone out of my pocket and it was BLACK! Tried to turn off and switch on again but nothing...only two times (on about 70 tries) i have been able to see something.
Now, the screen is gone but the phone keep his functionality.
Is it possible that an elecronic component stops to work "progressively"?
And, above all, do you think that the problem it's only on the screen or could be something else?
No one can answer me? I'm evaluating to buy a spare screen and try to change it, but I would like to have a more expert opinion...
You didn't dry enough your phone, so rust have killed your screen...
Ask service center for changing (Not for free ofcourse) it's more good idea than do it by youself without any exp
You can get a new screen here for $60,- http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-dual-p-2277.html and a nice tutorial that shows how to take your dual apart: http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_touch_dual/
Tip: get some cutips and alcohol to clean the board and other components
Anyway, isn't one of your friends (who threw you in the pool) ensured for breaking other peoples stuff, and prepared to do something for you?

Yes, I'm waiting for response from assurance company. I hope they will give me the phone back, just to test if changing screen will solve the problem.
I think you turned your phone on too soon.. If there's still water inside, it might cause a short circuit when the phone is turned on. I was always told: disassemble your phone as much as possible (take out battery, sim card etc.) and lay it to dry on a heat source for at least a week.. And then just pray your components don't rust.. You might try disassembling your phone and cleaning components which look dirty with some alcohol and qtips as suggested before.
Thank you for your advices, I'm waiting refund from assurance company (it should arrive next week) then I will do all attempts!
How to clean a PCB? Have I to insert it fully in the alcohol then clean all components?
No, put the qtip in alcohol and squeeze it to semi-dry, then clean the components (epecially non-permanent electrical connections).
Remember to use only soft materials to clean the device and to not leave any fibres from cloth or qtip in the device. Also remember to release any static current form your body (touch a bare metal area on your radiator, for instance).
Alcohol is a fugitive, so no need to wipe it off, just let it dry some time (the less you touch, the less possibility to break something). Remember that the alcohol between objects needs more time to disappear, so wait a little longer even if it's visibly dry.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
It works!!!
okay i bought a hermes off ebay, ment to be scratched like u expect after a year in ya pocket.. it was SCRATCHED to hell like a sheet of sand paper was used on it, and somoen had written war and peace on it.
it was cheap so i thught i may as well pick up a new chassie for it, i did it arrived today, i had already watched the few videos about how to dismantle this phone (i am no stranger to doing this as i tend to repair my friends and ppl i knows mobiles and used to have a alpine that went through 2 lcd`s and 3 touch screens until i learned to look after it)
i carfuly stripped it down, replaced all the casing to a new jasjam case, and now the keyboard wont light up (ya i know about the light sensor) and the screen wont auto flip, but i can still use the keyboard just with a normal portate screen, i have tried hard resetting as i am still trying to find a rom i like and dont have any software installed.
is it the kb ribbon thats gone? and anyone know were i can get one in the uk? is there any way of manualy rotating the screen like on the alpine? as i can live with doing that until i get a fix.
I did the same, got a new case but I was lucky, it still works altough the blue light is always on.
To manual rotate the screen you assign a hardware button to it. Go to setting, buttons, select a button and the rotate screen from the program list.
Good luck

Amost certainly either the Keyboard ribbon cable or its connections (As you say). The magnet operated orientation sesnsor is built into the ribbon cable and is of course also linked to the keyboard open light up action.
BUT, I have seen this happen because the magnet has dropped off!!! It's a small metal oblong and does not look like a magnet.

This has been asked few times by the folk who change casings but forget to move the magnet from the old casing to the new one. The switch is magnet operated and in fairness it's a tiny thing that is not obviously a magnet. See here:

PS not sure you really need to glue anything on the back of the screen do you? Perhaps a little tape might be better if really necessary.

Didn't hurt at all
Just another dis & re-assemble all is fine now

I know this is kind of an older thread, but when I searched for my problem, this is the most recent thread that came up.
I'm having a similar problem to the OP--I recently took my phone apart per the wiki because one of my tracks completely came off the rail. When I put it back together, I had an extra small square shaped rubber piece that fell off the motherboard and my keyboard is unrepsonsive when I slide it out in addition to it not going to landscape mode. The only thing is that I didn't take apart the part of the case with the magnet--I was able to get the slider thing back on the track without completely removing the very back housing. Is there anything else that might be causing the problem?
Sorry if this aspect has been gone over before; when I searched, this was the only thread I saw with a similar problem.

Oh dearie me!!!
First, the little rubber piece is the microphone cover from the bottom end of the motherboard.
Second, the screen orientation does not work because the magnet operated switch is attached to the keyboard cable which is obviously not working because as you say the keyboard is not responsive.
The likely cause of both the keyboard problem and the orientation problem is this connector:
It's under the back cover and is OFTEN forgotten because when you replace the motherboard the push in connector gets curled up beneath the board rather than curling around to be plugged in. (OR you just need to push it firmly into place)
A wider angle picture:
Cheers
Oh, and WELCOME to XDA-Devs

I remember that little metal piece but did not remember to put it back when I was putting my phone back together. I'll have to give that a try later as I've come down with the flu. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the advice Mike. It worked like a charm. Turns out one of my sliders coming off the tracks was the best thing that happened to my phone. In taking it apart, I also found that the speaker connection had completely come off which was the cause of my phone not having sound. So now aside from some cosmetic damage, my phone is back to working like new.
Disclaimer: Opening your HD2 will result in your warranty becoming VOID. Any damage to your HD2 as a result of following this walk-through is not my fault and was because you have large clumsy hands. If you want your phone repaired professionally without your warranty voided, send it to your supplier.
Tools you will need:
- HD2
- T5 screwdriver
- Tool kit for Phone/iPod/PSP (available on ebay, pictured below)

1) To start off with, turn off the phone then remove the battery cover along with the battery, SIM card and SD card.
2) WARNING! This next step will VOID your warranty. Remove the 4 screws using the T5 screwdriver.
3) Now comes the fun bit, stick the suction cup near the top of the screen and insert the blue tool (for lack of a real name) between the screen and casing.
4) Once the blue tool is in you should be able to pop the screen out one side at a time as there are two sets of "hooks" that hold it in place. You can pull on the suction cup to make this process easier.
5) Now that the top bit is out you need to run the blue tool down the sides of the screen to loosen it up. Then pull on the suction cup and it should separate quite easily.
6) To remove the main PCB you need to remove 3 screws using the T5 screwdriver. There are 6 connectors on the Main PCB, 3 on the top (yellow) and three on the bottom (red). You will also need to remove the copper shielding, you can do so by carefully pulling it off taking care not to deform it as you will need it back it the same place when you reassemble it.
Reassembling it is just a reverse process of the disassembly with the exception of the volume buttons, I've found them quite annoying to hold in place as you push the screen back and had to try multiple times to get it right.
That's all I got up to so far, if I get a weekend off I'll try to go further and do a complete guide, along with replacing the screen. If anyone has any suggestions/improvements please let me know as this was a little rushed.
Notes: You can use a plastic screwdriver if you don't want to buy the blue thingy but it may damage your phone. On my first opening attempt I used a screwdriver and there is slight damage to the top where I inserted it. Second attempt with the blue thingy and there is no additional damage and the screen was much easier to remove.

This is very informative. Thank you.
Very well done. Thank you for your time. I do hope I will not have to come back to this guide anytime soon .
Many thanks, but can you do a youtube video of this? I tried to do this using exactly the same tools, but i didn't manage to remove the glass unit from the backcover although i used the blue plastic tool in the same way.
When do you have time to look at the screen? I've got all the tools ready, and the replacement screen. Hope to see some guide somewhere soon
Sorry, been real busy as of late. May do it in a month or two. But there are some videos that might help you here.

Thanks. My HD2 has a crack running from the battery holding place and all the way where the screen starts. I was gutted but looks easier than thought now , Thanks to these instructions by you if I buy a new back casing cover.
Thank you, Maybe now I can start thinking more seriously about replacing my LED to support more colours
Very nice quality BTW
If I may say well done I have had to take down my hd2 twice for screen replacements and I can't really say I'm proud of it.
My HD2 only has two screws. Is the uk casing different to the US one ?.

Nope. Someone must have tried to open it
Please help
I have tried to open my HD2, with a screw driver instead of a plastic tool.. it almost popped open, but i could also hear a sound like glue coming loose ..and after i just thought to put the HD2 back together and turn it back on, my touch screen stopped working.. What can i do?

You should seriously think to get your touchscreen replaced, most likely you cracked it in your attempt to open your phone.
Hi
I Have tried that but only it opens the middle part of the lcd and i cant reach the back.
what can i do?
OMG, I just found out the stock HTC case doesn't protect the touchscreen from being unlocked by accident. I have the HD2 in my jeans pocket and sometimes when I take it out the phone is swithced on and is unlocked. So I tried unlocking it while still in the case and it's easy to unlock by just pressing through the fake leather. I guess this is a good time to start searching for a nice sturdy case (pouch) with pulling strap in which it's IMPOSSIBLE to unlock your phone by accident.

No issues at all with the device unlocking in my pockey with the pouch - fits nice and snug
how the hell are you managing to unlock the device when its in the pouch?
that makes no sense at all.
The screen on the HD2 will not respond to anything other then a finger or capacative stylus.
If you know how capacative screens work then what you say is happening is actually impossible.
he means wake up from standby
Well, yeah it does that as it's tight around the buttons - still it won't unlock the device so nothing to worry about!
I put mine in the pouch top first, firstly it leaves the earphone socket free, secondly you don't have to take the case all the way off to use the phone, and thirdly it doesn't press on the buttons so much.

So how are you going to charge your "phone" if the USB socket is damaged?

yes it is a silly question that aimed to highlight your seemingly lack of care over your phone after just months. why go through the hassle of insurance when you could just take the advice? my message didnt convey so it doesnt matter now.
so what is the point of this thread again??

The screen on the HD2 will not respond to anything other then a finger or capacative stylus.
If you know how capacative screens work then what you say is happening is actually impossible.

Try it before you start the lecture man. Pushing the power button through the pouch is easily done. Unlocking it wiping your finger over the pouch proved possible. Ofcourse this was only a test, but I've taken the phone out of the pouch and saw it unlocked twice in the 3 weeks I own it so somehow it seems possible the wiping is done by moving around in my pocket while still in the pouch.
The purpose of this thread is warning people the stock pouch doesn't protect a lot. In fact I think it sucks, though it's still better than nothing.
<edit>
I did some testing to see if I could unlock the screen without touching it directly:
Phone inside stock pouch: YES
Pouch placed on top of phone (2 layers of pouch between phone and finger): YES
Plactic overhead sheet on top of phone: YES
1 paper sheet (A4) on top of phone: YES
6 paper sheets on top of phone: YES
12 paper sheets on top of phone: YES
24 paper sheets on top of phone: YES
Stack of Post-its on top of phone (approx 15 sheets): YES
Booklet (15 pages, plastic cover, cardboard back): YES
New sealed stack of Post-its on top of phone: NO
Teabag (unused) on top of phone: NO
Aluminum foil & plastic bubblegum bag on top of phone: NO
he's right, after pressing the end button, you can actually unlock it by sliding your finger over the pouch.
maybe my screen is less sensetive than the one you have, i cant unlock my hd2 in the case, and no, i have not enabled bsb decrease sensetivity tweak. maybe thats something you could try?
I tried it too, and it did unlocked through the case. I have never had the issue of it unlocking while in my pocket though.
I am using 1.66 stock rom, with S2U2, and not enabled the BSB Tweak.
I've tested and after using the BsB Decrease Screen Sensitivity option it isn't possible anymore to unlock the screen through the pouch. 4 sheets seems to be no problem though.
