2 days ago my Vodafone V1605 (HTC 1.35.255.2 ROM) started to exhibit a strange problem in that programs would just close themselves.
Phone would work fine for a few minutes after reset, then if I started an application the app would close itself, even if I select the Start button the menu would just disappear.
I reset, hard reset, removed SD card, still same problem even with no SD card and no third pary apps, also removed battery overnight.
Just flashed back to original Vodafone ROM (1.20.161.6) and still the same problem.
Has anyone come across this before as I am at a loss to fix it, could it be a strange hardware issue?
Any help appreciated!
Hi skearon unfortunately it sounds like you have the screen alignment issue, my orange m3100 had the exact same symptoms. I found if I took the battery out for a while and put the phone in a cool place it would work ok for about 2mins then the same things would start happening, try contact vodafone for a warranty claim if you can.
to check if it is the SA issue use the few minutes that the phone works ok to go to the screen alignment applet in settings, continual run this and see if the screen goes out of alignment.
There are possible fixes in the wiki but the best bet is to get it fixed by vodafone.
Orange refered me to HTC vodafone will probably do the same.
Good luck

Thanks for the quick reply Rob, not the news I wanted but at least I'm not alone!
I also noticed that after installing mButton that the apps aren't closed they are still running in the background plus if I open the keyboard the system goes mad with the start menu appearing and disappearing all the time.
As it works for a while after being switched off, is it a heat related problem?
Possibly not directly the SA problem but related though. Some hermes are very sensitive to the expansion caused by heat put in pressure on the screen digitizer and sometimes like yours putting pressure on the screen - leading to phantom taps on the screen. i.e. when you open keyboard a bit of pressre in the wrong place and a menu can appear and disappear and programmes close by themselves. Whether the screen is also misaligned is pot luck but it has the same cause.
Rob61280's advice is absolutely right get it replaced under warranty rather than trying the fixes because you have the more serious problem and it's more than just pure SA issue.

Vodafone Ireland's response is "we are aware of the problem and are awaiting a software upgrade from the manufacturer"
Does anyone have a good web link that definately points to a hardware problem, ideally from another Vodafone company?
My V1605 has HTC's 1.35.255.2 ROM installed (but didn't tell Vodafone IE that!)

see here, unfortunately applies to HTC TyTns but since HTC, the manufacturer admit the issue then this must be good ammunition against Vodaphone. It would be good if you can also show the more obvious SA problem as well as the closing programme matter, as this shows a more direct connection to the HTC statement.
If you can show the more straightforward SA issue then Vodaphone cannot claim a ROM issue. A simple google search will throw up tons of references to it being a hardware matter. In addition other suppliers HTC included are exchanging these with few questions asked.
Might also be helpful if someone can post a link to the original HTC statement.

Thanks guys for the advice, Vodafone IE have agreed to replace the unit so fingers crossed for a good one next time
Update: Vodafone IE have agreed to collect the faulty unit but are now saying it will be some weeks before I get a replacement as they are waiting for new ones from HTC :-(
PLease NEed Serious Help
Today i have been having the same reported problem with my 1 month old v1605. The thing is i bought this over ebay. I live in Malta and vodafone malta does not sell this phone. I bought this phone from an ebay seller in the Uk.
What can i do to have this fixed under warranty any suggestions please??
Thanks in Advance
Ken
Yep. I have had this problem too. And my TyTN is not the first problematic lot.
I installed magicbutton and, everytime when I open new apps, others closed.
But reading this topic, I realigned the screen (just one time) and everthing is fine now.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to know if anyone else has had a problem with their exec's touch screen in that mine has completely stopped responding. The hardware buttons and keyboard work perfectly, I have tried a hard reset, taken the battery out etc and still nothing. It's odd as it must have stopped working at some point today, but it has been sat in my desk all day so nothing has damaged it to my knowledge. It's really bizarre! Anyhow, O2 have said they're sending a new one out, just got 3-5 working days without my Exec now. It's very odd and I just wondered if anyone else had had trhe same thing happen?
Cheers,
Fin
Sounds like a ROM-related issue. Have you tried a newer ROM (if there is a newer one already)?
I thought it might be software related, but to be honest there is no new ROM I can flash it with (and not invalidate the warranty, since I wouldn't be able to flash it back with the original O2 ROM when I send it back). It's really strange, as it has been working for nearly two weeks absolutely brilliantly and now it has decided to suddenly stop.
Thanks for your reply,
Fin
Anytime, hope you can get it to work again .
I just purchased an Exec yesterday and have been having similar issues with the touchscreen since I first turned it on.
After a while it does work again, but every now and then it stops working, The hardware buttons still work, so the phone is still responding.
Triggers that seem to cause this problem include starting a program, flipping the screen or looking at the phone with an odd look.
When running the update from the my-xda site it already is at that version, so I see no need in patching.
I take it this is a hardware issue that I cannot fix so will be needing to replace the unit?

I have the exact same problem on my m5000, stops working intermitently. Spoke to premier have a brand new handset on its way tommorow morning between 9-1. Not bad service free replacemeant and a brand new sealed box, so extra accesorys minus charger and battery.
Must be a common fault then. Mine started working again suddenlt the day before my new one arrived which was pretty annoying, although by peoples' experience here, it was probably only a matter of time before it packed up again. I have had my replacement a while now and it has so far been working perfectly.
At the moment it can't decide if its working or not.
It seems a couple of flips between landscape & portrait seem to get things working again.
I'll give it the weekend. See how it handles. Then most likely Monday I'll try get it replaced.
What do you reckon the best course of action would be? Go into the O2 shop and see if they'll swap it for a replacement, or contact O2 and get them to send me one.
Since there's always the chance the shop has a batch of duff phones.
How bad is this alignement issue...
and pls write down your SN..and hermes type
I got Ht626 on O2 Trion..
Thanks

I found the issue to start after a week, starting on the right hand side, and then moving towards the centre of the screen. Happens all the time now.
Voda v1605 S/N - 626
Somebody with the problem needs to disassemble their TyTN and power it up with the front cover completely removed and the digitizer assy loose. If there's a mechanical issue based on the gaskets or some other case ideoysncracy, the alignment issues will immediately disappear. If my TyTN starts acting up I'll do this myself. We need to divide this problem to conquer it by answering this first all-important question:
Is it Hardware, Software or a combination of both?
HTC's own repair kit tends to indicate that its hardware and that the above test will resolve any issues. However, there have been reports that software changes solve it too and these are backed up by a compelling video that shows a person tapping on the same spot of the kbd SIP and sometimes it would register the correct key and sometimes it would register the key to the right of the one tapped. If the problem were hardware, this wouldn't happen; the offset tap registration would happen consistantly.
Sleuth255, unfortunately it is a hardware issue.
HTC is replacing faulty units and repairing (changing the LCD) if you don't have the original box.

I partially concur. Here is the video that I referred to earlier which, after closer examination, has made me change my opinion as to its root cause:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQIVv4b2jOI
(notice how his alternating finger pressure on the right side of the case is causing the alignment to shift right by one char).
Nevertheless, I still see posts such as this one which point to a software related cause as well:
mcalbala said:
I had the alignment issue, and the phone started to slow down, I bit the bullet and reimaged the phone (clear memory and reset to factory default), reinstalled software and resynced, and the problem went away totally - seems to be part of the software for the Tytn - Good that it doesnt seem to be hardware related

Maybe there's two completely different issues that are being tied together here.
save yourselves the headache and send it for replcement ...!!
:roll:
@sectorlord: I'd say hard reset first and run for a day w/o re-installing any software. If alignment problem re-surfaces, send it in because you've got the hardware problem that HTC has identified.
Why be without your TyTN if its not hardware? Remember: I'm not disagreeing with the hardware hypothesis here. It's obvious that one cause of screen alignment problems is digitizer/case related. What I'm saying here that there may be two seperate issues here, both of whose effect are screen alignment issues. If this is true, posters following the "just send it in" rationale who actually have the second software related issue, will be sorely disappointed when they get their TyTN back after an indeterminate wait based on regional service differences because the problem will crop right back up after they restore from backup.
I myself can't ignore data just because it doesn't fit the model. Calling this problem solely hardware ignores the data that I posted above from mcalbala as well as countless other posters who have reported similar success from hard resets.
I guess I'll just have to wait for that first post from someone who sent their TyTN in for the fix only to have the problem crop back up to see if my "two problem" hypothesis is correct.
I agree with you... I know some people have success getting rid of the issue by :
1) Hard reset
2) Upgarding ROMs
3) Loosening up the screws
4) Offsetting the calibrations
5) Unticking the USB-PC options
etc ..etc..
I tried all of these, and my unit improves but never totally fixed. I am trying to save you the headache I got.. if you can swap it..do it !
I returned my Trion, and bought a new Dopod838pro WWE HT636XXXX yesterday...
Knock on wood... It's a gamble on my part. I just trust Dopod HK, that they will release these units when this issue is resolved, and they release it last Thursday starting with HT636XXXX.
Is it fixed...I dont know... but surely I will be screaming on SIS if not..
:twisted:
Few days ago I received my repaired tytn back. SN HT627.
According to the serviceburo it should now be repaired according to the instruction of HTC.
parts used:
1x Gasket, Keypad.Apache For.
1x MYLAR,LCM CONN, BREEZE FOR
So, hopefully this really solved the problem.

Piet

Reopening the question: A week ago suddenly the notorious screen alignment problem appeared on my device. Never had it before, now every 2 hours, sometimes after 10 minutes already. In my case the SA-problem has several appearences: one time it misallignes a bit to the right, the other time a far end to the left. But always in horizontal line. B.t.w.: in landscape mode the alignment problem always was gone!
So finally after trying everything I knew (from XDA) I did a hardreset with the intention to send it back for repair. But now after the hardreset my SA-problem seems to be gone! I'm testing for hours now, do everything what might cause the problem but nothing (till so far). I only installed TomTom 6 after the hardreset...
Could this be software (programs or settings) cause after all?
Hi!
Since yesterday my ok, windows, on and off hook and -- buttons aren't working anymore. The button in the middle and the cursor are still ok. Any ideas?
Due to the fact that the "--" (left and right) are not working I can't even do a hard reset.

Hi all,
OK I did a hard reset but it didn't work. Still no go :-(
The black coating is also peeling off. What a nice device.
mine just packed up too
more and more bugs are showing up every day passes... I somehow knew It would happen.. I don't think I'll take the risk of buying a p3600 through import without warranty after reading all these problems..
Good luck man
Trinity working well ..

While I dare not say my Trinity will be problem free, so far it has served me well. Everything is working as it should and the internal GPS has been enabled without a single problem. I'm on the test ROM (AKU3.3) and so far the performance is much better than my old Dopod 838 Pro (Hermes).
So far I have been very impressed with HTC built devices. A friend of mine's Dopod 838pro (Hermes) went into the pool accidentally, and it refuse to boot. After 3 days of intensive 'drying' it finally came back to life and it is working problem free until now.

My personal advise to you would be to test the 3G call on that device before you buy it. The only advantage the Tytn has over Trinity is:
1) Flash light & Macro Picture
2) Keyboard
3) Additional hard button (Messaging, IE, 3G call)

The main reason I'm considering it is that i can buy it from here in israel with warranty, I don't wanna risk buying the trinity abroad.
I don't really care about 3G calls, I never use it, but 3G internet speeds aren't bad
the keyboard seems a big advantage over the trinity. The main advantage of the trinity is the small and pocket form factor, but unfortunately I can have it only by importing it

ok cheers, if it's any help they have repaired mine twice for this issue. Originally it went in for the peeling paint, but while they had it the buttons failed the test so were replaced. Then when they bodged the repair and it went back again, again the buttons failed the test and they replaced again.
Then when I get the phone back...the buttons don't work! Incidently before they started repairing the phone I never had a problem with the buttons
Hi!
I know that this thread is quite old but I prefer to post in this thread rather than opening a new one (sorry if I am not doing well but I am new at the community )
Yesterday I was working on a P3600 and suddenly all buttons stop working. The irDA also did not work. I have left the phone all the night without the battery (I really don't know what I was trying to achieve ), and this morning the buttons (and the irDa) did not work yet. Now, after a hard reset, it seems that all is working as it should.
My questions are, why after a hard reset? (it seems to point out a software issue); is this problem related to the touch screen problem I've been reading about in the forum? (perhaps the cause is the same); and finally, is it likely to appear again?
Thanks in advance
ROM version: 1.15.412.2 10/23/06 (original one)
Radio version: 1.20.00.11
ExtROM version: 1.15.412.101
My D-pad select, down, right and OK have been getting steadily worse requiring more pressure to use. Mine isn't software related. Just sent it back today asking for the black peeling issue to be repaired as well.
I held out as long as I could hoping that any issues had been resolved by HTC. I'll post when I get it back.

You will probably have to get return authorization through your retailer.
It's been about 2-1/2 weeks and no word from HTC. I emailed them today. I will be sure to post when I get it back regarding GPS Rom and peeling.
Just got it back - all pretty again. They replaced the bezel and switch board. Still has old rom but I am happy.

I've had the exact same thing happen twice now. Everything is going along fine and then suddenly all the keys stop working until I do a hard reset. The touch screen keeps going as normal. I haven't tested the IRDA but it appears that USB and active sync don't want to go either. A hard reset solves the problem but then I have to reinstall things which is annoying.
There must be other people out there with this problem. Has anyone come up with a solution?
I don't think, that there will be a fix...seems like a hardware problem to me.
I have nearly the same....the red and the green call buttons don't work properly!
For me they work immediately after a soft reset and then stop again within about 30 seconds. Hardware or software? it would appear to be software but I had the same issue using the official T-Mobile WM5 and still umder Black Satin WM6.....
think I'll flash back to official ROM and take it into the shop tomorrow!
Hey All
I'm on my 5th phone from Orange. The latest one arrived today. I've had one with screen alignment problems and 3 that after a month or so making a piecing noise when the display is on. Off the 4 I've had previously only one of them seemed to be stable. All sorts of hangs with frequent software resets. Also it always seems to try and use a 3G connection when it has wireless. If you soft reset and try again it doesn't use the 3G and will use wireless. This is without installing any custom software but using a memory card. Had one that wouldn't always sync with XP and when I went to Vista refused to work. Just seems like hardware/software is poor quality
Driving me mad/nuts. Any suggestions. Orange has offered to swap to a different phone but I can't live without the functionality. I don’t hold much hope for my latest one either.
Anyone have any ideas when Orange is releasing new firmware?
HTC were due to distribute a new european ROM at the end of January, but not sign yet. This would then be customised by the network providers orange Tmobile etc.
You can always upgrade your ROM with the latest from HTC (1.35), which i have done on my M3100 with no ill effects. Since the upgrade it seems to run a bit quicker, plus you do not get all the orange branding on it. Have a look at the WIKI page for full instructions.
I've thought long and hard about doing that. However Orange has said if I did this and have another fault with a phone they won't replace it. I would have to claim under insurance. Bearing in mind I'm on my 5th phone I think this would be a problem. Most of the reasons why I've had my phone replaced are hardware issues (piercing noises with display on, no sync, screen alignment) Because I can't go back to an orange Rom I’d be a bit stuck. (How close is the Orange Romanian Rom to the UK Orange original Rom?)
Don’t get me wrong the software is buggy but I can live with it (just). I wondered if a Rom would also help with some of the hardware glitches to....

I'm like you. I daren't change the rom until there is an orange rom available to revert to.
Actually my device is stable and works well, but then I do a lot of housekeeping to avoid unecessarily stressing the device (including regular resets).
I too have an Orange UK M3100, in the first month I had 3 replacements: screen alignment x2, faulty camera. Since I got my 4th unit I have had no problems, I have a fair amount of software running on it, as the above post I regularly tidy it up but only reset it about 2-3 times per week. I understand how frustrating it is, I cursed my impatience for not waiting for the p990's release as I had a p900 and p910 but now I absolutely love the M3100 and am so glad I stuck with it, especially seeing all the problems my mates are having with their p990s.
For what it's worth, if Orange are prepared to replace it again without using your Orange Care insurance, I'd try again, cross your fingers and hope that you get a bug-free unit. Tell Orange you want a brand new replacement and not a refurb.
However, I doubt Orange will release a ROM update for some time, if at all.
i never ever have any problem on my m3100 from orange uk
using outlook msn skype and balaa balaa with my wilress internet
not even 1 fone
we got update from orange 2 fones
just now upgrading rom 1,23 to 1,24

@Usman GSMWORKSHOP 01618343351
I also belong a M3100. At first I lost plenty of my hair figuring how to get it working at least correctly. Now it is allmost perfect!
I tested plenty of roms; and at last my favorite is the Orange Romania; it is at least as fast as the SA 1.35 and seems more stable. Standby recovery with wifi is faster, bluetooth detection *seems* more stable, dialer skin match the vista theme, wifi *handshake* improved (I had to disable/enable the wifi more often with the SA rom to get it connected to my home network).
So, if I were you I would stick on the orange ROM. The only reason I changed my rom is that I really wanted an english one; localised versions get me sick.
What I did to get my phone working:
-Changed the default case (and its awfull magnet) to another one magnet free (it solved my "auto answer" issue)
-I managed to install only the software I need:
-SPB Pocketplus
-SPB GPS Mon
-MSN for WM2002-2003 (far faster/stable than the WM5 one!)
-TCPM
-HTC X-Button
@uhk: I would be very interested in your rom update; where can I find it? I found nothing on orange's site
do u have a link or smthng for the msn messenger?
hi all, i bought a tytn at ebay, but
the after a short time of using the bottom buttons, they stop working.
touch screen and buttons on the side are stíll working, but the bottom buttons are dead.
sometimes after turning off amd turning on they are working for a short time again. a restart also helps to make them work.
but its not funny to restart every 10 minutes.....
it is an e-plus tytn from germany with wm5.
do u guys think that it is a hardware or a software error?
I seem to have this problem on and off myself and think it's related to either the rom on the phone or the radio rom but am not sure which. It seems sometimes I have this problem and it seems to come and go depending on what combination of rom/radio rom I have installed. If I was smart I'd find a combination that works well for me and stick to it but I always like to play with things so typically every day or two I'm reseting
yeah, i have the same problem.... i hate to restart the phone every now and then, but I need to figure this out sometime soon, or I'm gonna upgrade to WM6 to see if that solves my problem. lol...
did anybody else have an idea to solve the problem?

I opened up my tytn, to find out the problem, and I found a small crack in the flexcable mentioned above.
Before it was never opened nor did anything strange happen with it, so this seems to be yet an other production problem/fault..
More and more people seem to have the same problem, time to presure htc for a repair....
Ok for me this is too late, but all for the good cause.. will just order myself a new cable and try to swap it..
Any ideas where to get the flex cable these days? Not finding it at the link above and internet searches aren't panning out either.
FYI:
Just got back my HTC TyTN from service under warranty, sent for exactly the same problem.
The technician I spoke to directly said that maybe about 90% of the lower keys malfunctions are caused by the lower keyboard board behaving erratically and it is a well-known hardware problem.
A board replacement solved it, my TyTN is working perfectly again, they also replaced the stylus holding rubber (which was broken already from the early days) and, surprise, they upgraded my WM5 device (I had to revert everything to the initial versions before handing it to them) to the latest official HTC WM6 Rom. Even bigger surprise, although what I gave them was a WWE device, when I got it back they had upgraded it to the localized (official Greek) version. Life is good.
Anyways, seems the only real solution to this is a visit to the repair store, hopefully under warranty and reverted back to the original settings...
