Screen Grounding Issue Gone!

Biofall · #1 (**permalink**) 06-24-2010, 02:03 AM

Guys I'm not sure if this is what did it, but I applied the middle two updates from menu.settings.system update. (profile and prl) Up until now my screen would not work properly if on a non conductive surface.. Can other people with the problem check this out and confirm? Because that would mean a fix was sent out!

Didn't fix mine at all after applying the two updates. Try a different surface like a pillow or bed.

mine still does it too after the updates... htc said that they are aware of that issue as well as the screen lifting and are fixing the screen issue and will have a hotfix for the grounding.

Profile; is your data provisioning, and PRL; is your perfered roaming list, both have nothing to do with your phone's hardware or software that would affect that in any way. They are only how your cell phone portion would access the network, in this case Sprint.

Grounding, is a physical issue that would have to be repaired by a tech at the Sprint store or your phone would have to be replaced with one already fixed. HTC has stated they are fixing this problem, in newer releases of the phone, nothing has been said about current owners, except that Radio Shack has placed replacement orders for a few customers (and have gotten replacements with in 3 days, even with the current out of stock, since replacements are handled by another warehouse).

If you got an OTA Firmware or HTC update, then perhaps those would have been software fixes for other issues, but you only mentioned PRL/Profile.
