Firstly, a girl i know also owns a vario/o2 xda mini s, and her screen is just white..
any ideas?
(sorry i couldnt provide more details all i know is the phone was just for general usage)
secondly,
my stylus keeps falling out of the case.. any ideas how to prevent this from happening??
Two Issues
I'm not sure about what to do about having the white screen (read around the forum, I'm sure someone has encountered this and come up with a solution)....
But, here is one possible solution for the stylus problem. I must say that the procedure is a pretty intensive process:
http://www.pdagold.com/articles/detail.asp?a=274&rfp=dta
i tried that but couldnt get the bottom right screw out / silvery bit out..
I think this might be useful to the people who recently bought their DHD or interested in getting one.
These are the issues that I think came up so far:

If I am missing something, please tell me (or PM me) so I will update the list.
Also, I might be wrong on some of the things, so tell me so I can change the info.
I want this topic to be a compilation of issues that are common to the DHD. Please do not post asking about little issues that you might have or new issue you stumble upon.
However, if I am missing some big issues or the status of the issue has changed, post it or PM me with the link to the thread discussing the problem.
The exaggerated, sluggish auto-brightness when recording video is an issue. Watch any of the sample videos on YouTube.
HTCsense.com issues not fixed
In Denmark, there are still problems with HTCsense.com - I mess with it to check stability and MANY times I can not connect to my phone to call it, and the SMS service takes a LONG time to react. Also, I have not yet succeeded in remotely locking the phone.
in the very first batch there was (there still is on mine) a problem where i can not use wifi it turns it self off automatically after saying "Unable to scan for networks"
ill try and grab you some debug logs so you guys are more familiar with the problem.
Internal noisereduction is too strong and it makes all photos look like they are waterpaintings, it should be a quick and easy fix for HTC to take care of.
Image sharpening is too strong set at default zero setting, you have to tune it down to get acceptable shots with less sharpening artifacts in them.
Display powerconsumption is ridicously high, it's somthing HTC have to tune in software if possible.
Possibly too strong antialiasing filter contributing to render soft photos.

HTC Sense is still not working for me...the dashboard doesn't identify my phone's location, the phone does not ring, nor can it be locked or erased. Push messages from the Hub is also not working (HTC Hub via the phone allows me to browse and operate but continues to report that the server is down). The phone number I'm using and related passwords are all correct.
(I'm in Australia).
Im in denmark aswell and have no problems with htcsense.com - perfect sync and responsetime. I had a problem with the updated YouTube app, had the network error many people experienced - but got around it. But after playing a video the hd started lagging like hell.. needed reboot

I have one to add to the list:

P.S.
Let's make this list as complete as possible, so we can all point these issues to the HTC customer service.

I have to thank you for having the courage to do this thread, honestly im tired of the spam fest of doubled threads in this forum just because people dont use the damned search button, every damned time i come here theres 20 more threads with questions that people answered...
I suggest this for sticky!
An issue I am having is:
I will connect my phone to wifi it will connect fine and tell me I am connected.
I could then later on go into the market and try download something I will have wifi bars but the item will pause download. I then come back out to check if my wifi is still connected and it will say authenticating but doesnt change so I then turn the wifi off and back on. It connects again this time when I go back into the market to download something it works fine.
Anyone else have this issue?

This is a compilation thread so please post only issues that are recognized and common to many people (providing me with link to the specific thread).
I would suggest you search in the forum whether there is any thread with similar issue. You can try asking it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831804 too.
Sorry man.
I have a link that you can add below the speaker problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9119804
This thread contains a comparison video, comparing the N95 vs. Desire HD external speaker quality. Also, a few posts down there I explain my experiences about the comparison.
Also, THE SIM/MicroSD cover issue IS NOT RESOLVED!
Some people had covers that stuck out a bit, but could be solved by attaching the cover properly. However, some people like me have the following problem:
When the hardware got inserted into the aluminum body from the bottom-side, it wasn't inserted far enough, causing the following 3 additional symptoms:
-Gap between top of the screen and aluminum body.
-Gap between SIM/MicroSD cover and aluminum body.
-Camera misalignment - Camera is too low behind the lens.
All these symptoms are caused by the hardware installation process, as it is clear that both gaps are exactly the same (about 0.5-0.7mm). The same counts for the camera, it has the same misalignment in mm's.
To be clear: in my case, the SIM/MicroSD cover gap is caused because the hardware is not pushed far enough into the aluminum body, thus sticking outside too far out of the alu body, and making it impossible to get a proper fit simply because it's physically impossible. It also perfectly explains the gap between the top of the screen and the alu body.
The symptoms clearly all connect to the source of the problem: hardware not inserted far enough into the alu body.
I've made a video for showing the gaps, but it's not perfect. The camera misalignment is only visible if you look closely, because the shade covers the misalignment up.

I really don't know, I'm in contact with the HTC escalation team about this, but I do hope so.
I'd be interested in any reply you get because I'm noticing the gaps now I'm looking for them and know what to look for. It's irritating because I hate swapping things but if dust gets in it could cause a lot of problems.

Hey thanks for taking the time to compile the list! This is exactly what I need to check my DHD against possible hardware issues/problems, and send it back to Amazon for a replacement immediately for faulty hardware, instead of wondering "is it just me..."

no problem that's the purpose of the thread anyway. I am bored of seeing people asking for the same thing all the time too.
Not sur eif anyone else is getting this, i've got like 12 bookmarks on the bookmark widget and although it's not too bad, it is quite laggy compared to the rest of the phone when you scroll through them ?
Also i've noticed some small gaps around the phone, theres one around the screen i think where a little bit of dust has got into the cracks but nothing has gone through to the screen as of yet, i've only had it for a little over a week ! not happy with this.
Hello Everyone!
Long time now, i have an issue with the Touchscreen of my MB526. From time to time it generates random clicks ... if i then send it to standby and wake it up, everything is fine again. I thought it may be a hardware-problem or a problem with the custom roms around, but when i posted this issue today on the Defy-Facebook-Group, i found someone with the same issue on the stock unrooted 231 Rom (BL7). The Same BL as mine ...
So may be, that there is an unidentified bug in our mobiles? may be some driver problem? Or is it an hardware-issue like the speaker of the MB525, that affects more users?
Maybe some of the Rom-Devs could try to find something related to the Wake-Up precedure what resets the touchscreen and clears this issue?
We need some help here ...
EDIT: There is now one more on the Facebook-Group with the same issue but on a MB525 ... so it's Defy in general and not only Defy+ ...
The same problem here
First of all thanks for addressing this problem. I thought i was the only one.
Ok so I'm currently on W.R.1.7, Defy mb525
And i experience the same problem. random touches and to reset it i have to lock my screen and switch it on again.
I haven't (and wont do till 5 more months) tried this on other roms. but it always starts after 1 week of installing wr 1.7.
I flashed the rom again thinking that it will solve the problems (this and batterry drops) it did but after a week it was back!
:crying:
Had that just today, for the first time.
Was playing Hill Climb Racing, when suddenly the gas pedal (on screen touch area) got stuck, then flickered irregularily 3 or 4 times a second for like 15 seconds. My defy didn't register the back button or the home button during that time. Switching off and on helped. It happened again like a minute later, but not as long. Didn't happen again since then, but if it does in another app I'll report back.
There is no demo function in Hill Climb Racer as far as I know, so the pressed gas pedal could only have originated from the touchsceen / driver side, not from faulty code in the game.
My Defy, MB525 (Green), has 2 years old and I have this issue since always, I didn´t use my warranty because I've rooted since i bought it, but just happens sometimes (the same issue on stock 2.1, stock 2.2, MIUI, CM7, CM9, CM10...).
OK, so this themes to be an issue that affects more than just a few users ...
there was a guy in the facebook group, that reported, that he had this issue to, but it stoped since he used a screen protector ... so this may solve this issue ... but i think this is not all ... The screen is (for sure) not designed to be only useable with an screen protector
and because of the Lockscreen / Wake up solve, this is not happening due to dirt on the display or something i think ...
would be nice, if some dev could answer this post, so we would know, that we are not alone and may maybe get some help in some time ...
@ MadMooney ... i also found this annoying in Hill Climb Racing It's exactly the gas-Pedal that is "locked" then .. bit it happend in other apps (by writing an sms fpr example) to ... so it may be some fingerpoint that we both have exactly the same issue with the same game and the same affected screen area ...

Even i use a screen protector (Amzer one) but that doesn't help in solving the ghostly touch problem..
Its definitely a software issue

I have the same problem with mine, i thought it was because since 6 months back i totally cracked my screen and havent changed it because it still works as it should except looking terrible. What i have noticed thou is that i can absolutely not use my phone while charging it because that will to a 100% result in my screen going wild
I am also facing this issue. I mildly heat the screen using heater the problem solve for one or two weeks then It again appear. I found another thing that this issue may solve if press the right side of speaker hardly. Please try these and report

Same here. It happens when my screen is a bit oily so if I clean it it doesn't do it anymore.
Happens to me too, exactly as OP said, Bayer MB525
Happend with CM7.2 and CM10, I don't remember having this in stock Froyo 2.2.1
EDIT: Things that make it happens more often:
1. Any kind of liquid over screen (mainly water)
2. While connected to an USB
WOW ... such a mass of users with the same issue ... and no one ever told that before?!
OK, so we are facing an big issue with all roms and all kinds of devices / displays ... so maybe it is a driver problem, beacause it is solved if you turn screen of and wake up again ...
the issue with the charger is named here too ... i also had this problem ... with low battery and charger the screen reacts like an resistive touchscreen, not like an capacitive ... maybe these are all the same issue ...
No dev here, that can pick this thing up and have a look at it?

Then let me add that right when it happend, i saw a tiny sweat droplet on the screen. I wiped it away instantly, but the effect stayed for another couple of seconds. Might really be that the touchscreen/driver-combo gets temporarily overloaded from the continuously moist spot.
I had that effect on other phones too, always capacitive screens. If that's all there is to it, there's probably not much we can do about it to solve it other than to make the driver less sensitive, but that would be a bad thing, if you ask me. I like that it reacts at the lightest touch.
Yeah, it reacts fine. But the idea of overload is nice ... Maybe it could be solved by setting up the Multi-Touch-Points to 5 e.g. ???
I think we need an update zip from our great developers to reduce the sensitivity of our touch screen especially for those who realy suffering due to this defect. We can find lot of topics regarding this issue in various headings like !My phone become crazy, touch screen malfunction etc! In QA section

Yeah, for sure .. but if there is no dev reading this posts, there won't be any zips ...
and with the xda-board-rules you can't open a thread for that in the Dev-Section -.-
So ... we will be alone thanks to the admins and the board rules, cause no dev will read the Q&A Section ...
My phone Defy+:
I had this issue on cm7.2 tried following solution but none of them works.
1) Changed to cm10 thought it might be Rom issue but no i have ghost touch on cm10 too.
2) I applied screen guard to see if it wrks but not it does not wrk i still have ghost touch.
P.S. While charging the phone GT disappears.

Guys so I got my G2 since last year or less since I bought it he was losing mobile network reception every 30min.. Lose it then it reconnects itself... It started to annoy me too much so I found some solution on internet to put little pieces of cardboard under the connectors which are located on the back cover of the phone. i done that and it worked till now... Problem appeared again but this time Im out of ideas, I changed pieces of cardboard rearranged them but still it loses signal from time to time and its a big problem for me... I really like this device and its community but I think that I will be forced to sell it if i dont solve this.. I was thinking about buying new back cover but I dont think that would help? Anyone experienced this problem, or if anyone has idea how to solve it permanently please tell me.
Hi everyone. This thread is not actually for my phone, but rather for my friend's Zenfone 3.
A while ago she replaced her phone's battery, in order to give it a year or more of life and avoid having to buy another phone. But after that, she started to notice a few problems with the touch screen. Like, when she opens an app, the control center from above the screen is not accessible anymore. I'm thinking it is a hardware problem, but have never seen a situation like this. I'm still waiting o ask more information from her, but I would like ask if anyone here has been in a situation like this, and what could I do to fix it
