[Q] Semi-damaged XDA Orbit

Hi everyone,
It is almost 2 weeks my XDA Orbit is not working properly. The first time it hanged-up during a call and afterwards it took me several resets to bring it back. During the system load the screen was changing colors and freezing, sometimes completely white, sometimes with some colorful stripes, sometimes solid violet. After several reboots I couldn't turn it on at all. I took it to local service, where they told me that the problem is with boot loader and fixed it. I took it back and have the same experience. I have flashed it with original ROM, both from PC or SD card, but the same problem exist. I am assuming that the issue is in a hardware defect. I know that it is the time to get rid of this PDA and get a new one.
Anyway... Is there a tool available for testing HTC hardware (CPU, flash)???

best to open the device and check your lcd is connected properly..

Thanks! raving_nanza
Opened my Orbit recently, the connector is in place. I would assume that the issue is more in battery then LCD. The battery surface is lofted.
Assuming that it's a battery issue - should the same happen if the device is always connected to external power supply?

...
LOL
get a new battery dude..
dont turn the device on untill the new battery is fully charged.
a simple fix hopefully..

Image is quite self explanatory.
Today was traveling and using a phone as always and got a phone call - and apparently the screen was like this.
Anyone experienced this, or managed to replace the display (price?) especially in Poland?
Phone bought in 2011.01.03, so it died 5 months after warranty expiration
Symptoms:
White lines that are vertical in portrait mode.
They do not rotate on screen position change.
Yet they start from black and fade in from black to the random brightness after a while if the creen is used (otherwise they dim out).
All other phone features work - for example I was able to answer the call swiping a finger as usual
Battery pull - the issue perists.
Debugging disabled, and I wait for screen from SlimRom to get the idea what parts of the sceen to press to:
1. unlock sim card
2. unlock pattern lock
3. enable developer mode (or start Airdoid or adb)
Thanks in advance for any info, topic will be updated later on.
I'm wondering about first wipig the phone and then fixind the screen.
Also thinking about getting some replacement (sth like nexus 4 but with external sd, or very beefy internal).

If the problem persists when in bootloder mode or recovery its going to be a hardware fault, and almost for sure you need to replace LCD, second mostly likely the main flex cable.
Know nothing about Poland but the repair should take 20 min for the experienced and an hour for a novice

The problem was with the display, not the tape. More info to come.

How much cost a new display in germany?

no idea, I'm not from Germany.

[Q] z1 compact wont turn on, three vibrations

I went into the water to do some video and after about 14 minutes of video on my Z1C reboot, after the reboot I take another video about 4 minutes after that turn off completely, I go out of the water and did not want to turn on, 3 vibration and black screen, I remove the simcard and the memory and let some air, I notice that the simcard there is a bit of water a few hours after arriving home plug my phone to my pc et woilà my Z1C turns on normally.
What could it be?

Back camera stopped working

My back camera/light has recently stopped working. This phone is less than a year old so this issue is frustrating. At first, I was able to reboot the device and the camera/light would work for about 30 minutes or so. A month later, it only detects the front camera. Now I can't select or add the camera in the Camera app. My flashlight app just freezes if I try to open it. I have some screen shots below. I used an app called System Droid Info to get my hardware information and it seems to display only the front camera specs as if it's the only one connected (maybe I should try another app?). Not sure if this is related, but it also started occurring around the time I installed the latest OTA update.

Things I have done:
-Cleared Camera data/cache and rebooted
-Disabled/enabled Camera app and rebooted
-Force close/reopen Camera app and rebooted
-Powered device off/on
-Factory reset through bootloader
Does this sound like a hardware failure? Are there any other steps I should take? Any help would be great, thanks!

hey @poupdujour, this happened to my M9 whilst i was trying to capture lightening in a thunderstorm (not relevant, but i thought i'd give you a back story) I was able to get the camera "working" through 3rd party apps like whatsapp and instagram but the image was flipped upside down. did everything you went through and even went back to stock, nothing helped.
Think it must be a hardware issue, I sent mine back to EE and got a 24hr replacement.

Question [SOLVED] Very strange ongoing camera issue

Hi, I have spent the last few weeks searching XDA, OnePlus and various other forums for an answer to this issue but have come up with no working fix.
The camera on my OP9P works absolutely fine sometimes, but other times it will show the feed for about 1 second and then freeze, completely unusable as the OP Cam app will also become unresponsive. Other times it will work, but the wide-angle 0.6x lens will not be accessible, the button for it will just not be there. Other times it will work 'fine' but the 1x lens will have a very strange overlay on it (photo attached).
I have tried every cam app on the first 10 pages of the Play store and even installed older versions of the OP Cam app and I eventually get the same issue. It happens in every app I use: WhatsApp, Instagram etc.
I have installed various ROMS also and still had the same issue.
Has anyone heard of this issue before, or know what it could be? My gut says it is hardware related but if I restart the phone, it usually works fine with no physical changes to the device.
Device was purchased around September 2022 and is in great physical condition, currently running OxygenOS 13.0 (LE2123_11_F.75).
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hardware issue

Is that 100% sure? I thought it could be hardware but a simple reboot usually fixes the issues for a little while.

I've reached out to the supplier who is going to repair it. Frustrating but quick response times so we'll see what happens.
