I think - I think it's dead...

My Pulses touchscreen has been playing up for a while, occasionally not responding or whatever, requiring a reboot to fix it. Now - it doesn't work at all, reboots, wipes, reflashes of FLB or even Tre!

My real question is do you like cheese? what's wrong and how do I fix it?

All that has happened recently is I installed Epic's button mod, and dropped it on Friday night (the screen worked after the drop). I don't blame it on epic - everyone else who installed is fine, just the dropping it has made me think I'm hungry maybe thats it.

Is the Pulse gone for good? Do I need a new phone? (Maybe it's a sign from God - I was looking at the price of HTC Hero's, and I found one that said all offers considered. I text the guy offering £1, not from the Pulse though :D)

:D Help? ;)

Try melting the cheese and then coating the screen in it. It might help =)

Go back to 1.5, that should fix touchscreen problems :D

Lol.

I guess there are no serious comments?

Might try to get a Hero if I fail at fixing this.

Although I'll stay here so much, I'll end up asking Hero questions here. :D

Is the cheese resistive or capacative? :D

Sigh - it won't boot into recovery for me to mount the SD card - stuck on Huawei screen...

:D

Do you think I could flash the recovery image as the boot image? Meaning that it'd need to boot into recovery - since it freezes when I try to boot it.

Side note - Even after numerous flashes and stuff, when I turn the phone on, after the initial flash screen and before the first Android screen, there are dots all around the screen - red, yellow, blue and green. It reminds me of when you turn on the emulator, but I've not used it in ages so I might be wrong...

That's odd :D

You can't get another phone! We need you here!!!

;)

I think your Pulse is screwed, sorry. I'm having the same problems with my second Pulse, and I couldn't manage to solve it.

It just freezes on the T-Mobile screen (the first one - Huawei screen for you).

I Think sending it in is the only solution :D

But I love the cheese thing :D

Best regards,

:D Don't you worry Bobo - if I ever got a new phone - I'd stay here. (Damn the amount of times I've said that in the past hour)

The thing is though, it only freezes on the Huawei screen if I try to boot into recovery. It's fine if I leave it to boot to Android.

Alas, I wouldn't be able to send it in without my mum and dad literally screaming at me. They told me from before I got it, "Don't mess with it, don't flash things to it" and so on. I rooted it after about 4 days, and flashed after about a fortnight (My birthday!). Meh.

I hate cheese, but at least some people can lol while I worry :D

@Flib - Yes it is. It's impossible not to be - it came out in November. :D

Ahhhh okay, no I don't think its bricked at all then ;)

You now how to unpack and repack a ramdisk?

Try repacking your recovery ramdisk with your boot.img kernel :D

Haha, I always forget you're just 13 :D

Parents... ;)

Get it fixed by T-Mobile. If the parents tell you off then blame it on the BoBo :D

don't blame it on the sunshine, don't blame it on the moonlight, don't blame it on a good time, blame it on the BoBo :D

Poor Bobo.

"OH MA GAWD, THEY KILLED KENNY!!!"

"Meh, blame it on Bobo."

"Good idea, Stan!"

Could it be the connections to the touchscreen? Like the wire? Cos maybe when I dropped it it became loose, and after time it came right out? Or is it welded on?

Possible.

One of 999999^(99999^99999) possibilities ...

So (999999^(99999^99999)) - 1 to check :D

thats what the t-mobile engineers are for. If you so much as touch one of the screws then you'll lose your warranty.

If all fails, i'd say you can try your warranty :D Unlike mine, a parallel import, and that means it's literally a brick if my Pulse goes really into bad shape.

Was just wonderin', can the Pulse (or any other phones for that matter) like, say, die for good, after much altering with the internal system (countless flashings, upgrading and downgrading ROMs etc..)?

My Ubuntu calculator says the answer to "999999^(99999^99999)" is 1.

So we've found the right answer. Yipee!

*Holds finger back, puts battery cover back on. Walks away*

Poll details - It's so far a split decision. Half (+1) likes cheese. The rest don't know what cheese is. :D

That could explain a lot if they used a welding torch instead of a soldering iron :D

Also explains why we dont have multi touch.

:D Yeah, well, I'm going for a shower. Enjoy the forum without me, bla bla.

And I wasn't thinking, OK. :D

*Looks at Epic's post*

Sigh. At least that's one mystery solved...
