the problem is that my screen didn't go alive. i cant see the htc logo he start at blank screen. i tried to use with and without the sim card but both did the same result. blank screen

i think my problem is a mix of hardware and software because he didn't screen up for a month now and i'm beginning to think he never will again.

Hi, just reporting in. I took my 2 day old Desire HD back to the shop for service today.
It was blacking out like you all have described. All i could do was to pull the battery out.

Heres some info i think i should share that i didn't see here on this thread
------------
Disclaimer: I didn't read all 78 Pages and I didn't read this thread before i gave the phone back for servicing so i have not tried the workarounds you have posted
------------

-My Desire HD was blacking out almost immediately after i put in my PIN just like bigles described above. I could see the white HTC boot screens, and also i was able to type in my PIN. When the desktop was loaded it took anything from 2 seconds to 2 minutes to the screen to black out.
-My phone acted 100% normal when i removed the SIM card, so i think the sensor has something to do with the ability to make/recieve calls.
-I'm not sure why the sensor decided to black out the screen even when i was not on a call.

Any way, Bigles should try removing the sim card to be able to install the calibration app. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of it before I took my phone for service. I'm actually having second thoughts on getting the phone back to myself from the service :D

my 2cents,
Miikkahoo

I'm having the same problem still myself, has anyone found a way to resolve this?

I'm running the stock HTC Sense, and from what I can tell it's updated to the latest software.

Has it been solved by installing a custom rom? Or finding some way of disabling/controlling the light sensor?

DHD Proximity Sensor Recalibrator 1.10

With the DHD Proximity Sensor Recalibrator 1.10 is a plesure using the phone. :good:
After the installation I just follow the steps:
1. Put both values high (will show FAR).
2. Cover sensor with finger.
3. Lower High threshold till it says NEAR.
4. Lower Low threshold by a notch or 2.
5. Test behavior - moving the finger on top of the sensor mast show NEAR and on removing it - ist show FAR

Tray it.

    Hi Sanju,
    Dutch indeed ;-)
    Both cover on the back and screen on the front now are nicely placed. No gaps whatsoever. No proximity issues either ::)

    Bought my phone in a Vodafone shop. Swithed it two times (this is my third Desire HD) and they didn't make any fuzz about me replacing the handsets. Which is worth a compliment indeed! I even changed the second in a Vodafone shop at the other side of the country.

    Regards,

    Let me tell you, by following that guide and getting clockwork installed you've already made huge progress.

    1. Yes you can restore everything. But it will only restore it to the point when you made the backup. So after you rooted and s-off. If something goes wrong with your phone and you want to send it to HTC then you'll need to restore that backup and also remove root and s-off. There are easy ways of doing this but you should worry about those things only if you need to send your phone back :) No need to worry though because things will work out :)

    2. Yes it will include default apps. Absolutely everything, you phone will be restored exactly how it was before updating (apart from the radio if you change that).

    3. You can use rom manager yes, but as far as i can tell rom manager only allows you to flash Cyanogen (at least in the free version of rom manager). Other ways, and in my opinion the best way, is to download a rom from these forums in the dev section, and flash it from clockwork. Always make a backup before flashing, just incase something goes wrong, although nothing will probably go wrong.

    4. Yeah this part sort of confused me at first. What i understood was that if you update to version 1.72, this update installs the update as well as a new version of hboot (this is the bootloader). It is this new bootloader that prevents from rooting, s-off etc. But the leedroid rom only includes the new update, and retains the old version of the bootloader which is rootable.

    5. My phone never had this problem. I got it when it was on the same software version as yours and never saw it, i then installed leedroid with the new update 1.72 and still havent experienced it.

    Ok i will send you a pm because i think we've taken this discussion a little off topic :)

    hmm that is weird. as soon as the second ota update came out (which supposedly fixed the issue) this thread died more or less. i thought it would have been solved. i personally havent experienced it. Have you tried a factory reset?

    edit: just realized, you're not running the latest firmware. your build number should be 1.72. Go into Settings>About Phone>System software updates and check now. Maybe that could solve it.

    edit2: keep in mind that you'll lose root by updating, and wont be able to root using the current methods.

    Thanks for your reply mate.
    I tried but I got this message:

    Your phone is up to date.
    There is no updates available for your phone.

    1. Is it due to my version is South East Asia version which contains English, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese input?

    2. Do I have to unroot before checking for updates?

    3. You mean version 1.7 is not rootable yet?

    4. Any advice if I use other ROM? Any suggestion?

    Thank you.

    1. Yes it probably is because of your location. The update was only released for Europe.

    2. I'm general you don't need to be unrooted. It will still tell you if there are updates available

    3. Yeah I believe it is not rootable yet.

    4. I personally am using leedroid. Very nice Rom imo. The latest version is using 1.72 base and is fully rooted.. perhaps if you flashed this your proximity issues might be resolved. Keep in mind you need to be s-off and perm rooted to flash roms.. with clockwork recovery installed.. but more on that in the dev section.
