Screen noise

---

I, like most users here, have installed the "Offical" AT&T WM6 Rom from this site. I have noticed that when the screen is on, it makes a high pitch noise. It only comes on when the screen is on. Does not matter if the backlight is on or not. I (mistakenly) took my phone to an AT&T store to inquire about the problem and the tech told me that he could not do anything cause of WM6. I would need to downgrade to WM5 and see if the problem was still there. So...I am downgrading right now.

My reason for this post is

1.) Does anyone else have this problem with WM6?
2.) Does someone with WM5 have this problem?

The tech was saying that the driver for the screen was wrong and "overclocked", and that is why the screen was having noise issues. How much smoke was this guy blowing my way.

Mine does the same thing, and did it before I put WM6 on there. I would say that's a ton of smoke that guy was blowing up your ass. If you want, try the official HTC release of WM6 and if that still has noise you have your answer.

That is the version I am currently using.

I dont have that problem howver they may be something in what he says. When Ibe overclocked the processor on some pda's the screen as indeed made a high pitched noise. however the hermes screens are generally of good quality..... that said Ive just notice mine does it!!!!!!!!! I can only notice it if I put my ear up to it, I not worried about it so shouldnt you!

Mine did this from the day I got it.
I sent it back for repair, and they replaced the screen under warranty.

However, now (after about a year) the high pitch noise has come back. I think it is a problem with Hermes screen hardware since I have been running a whole range of different WM6 and WM5 builds on mine and it does not seem to make a difference.

I find it quite annoying since you have your ear close to the screen during a call, but I guess it could be a fine opportunity to upgrade to something a newer than the Hermes...

No high pitched noise here..

downgrading to WM5 did not solve the issue. "overclock" my a$$........ I guess I will take it back and let the loser know.

Its common as far as I know. My Wizard had the same noise.

Talk about common... I had an old CRT that used to do that too.

Seriously though, I have been sticking my screen to my ear like an idiot, but can't hear anything. Perhaps this can be connected to a certain build of hermes. I have a X01HT Herm200.

did you overclock the machine?
