Hi
I am the proud owner of a brand new QTEC 9100 handset, taken out via Phones2uDirect.co.uk.
The slide out keyboard is totally unresponsive, and the right hand side menu (the context sensitive menu in the lower right hand corner) keeps popping up all on its own.
It's as if the key is permanently stuck down, and that's why the rest of the keyboard isn't working. HAs anyone else had this problem? I'm assuming the handset is faulty, after this happened straight out of the box.
Am a bit gutted as was looking forward to playing with my new toy this weekend
Any help would be most gratefully received,
Ashley

Hi guys,
Hopefully someone can help me with this one. I've had my MDA Compact since August 05; however a few months ago I noticed a problem occuring when I wrote a text message using the onscreen keyboard - if I pressed a letter, it would select the one to the left of it (i.e. press 'Y', it would register 'T').
Initially I thought that it would be a screen calibration issue, and sure enough after calibration the screen presses seemed to work correctly. Later on the same day however, the issue came back. This time I checked for scratches, but there weren't any and the MDA screen was clean of dirt too.
Fast forward to the present, and the problem seems a little more bizarre that I first thought:
* I've noticed that it's not just an issue with texting, but the whole screen. * The severity depends on the horizontal gradient of the screen. For example, if I press a key on the the right-hand side of the virtual keyboard, it works correctly - if I press 'P', it'll register 'P'. However, the further left I go on the screen, the more the offset is apparent - so if I press the 'Y' key it'll register 'T' (one letter over), and further left if I press the 'E' key on the virtual keyboard, it will register 'W', two letters further over.
The last bit of information is that, after all this analysing, I thought it'd be a physical screen error; however I've noticed a difference in severity depending on what I'm doing. For example, if I'm composing a new text message then the incorrect offset is there but much less so than if I was responding to a text message, for example.
I keep my screen clean, there are no scratches, I didn't drop or bang the MDA to cause this, so there just doesn't seem to be a reason for it. Does anyone have any experience of this?
My ROM and Radio are both 1.12
Thanks guys.

Ah no worries. I've finally found a thread that might help me out.
Cheers anyway.

Typical as typical can be, my k-jam which was registered on I-Mates site on 5th October 2005 (so out of warranty by 11 days! )
Basically the problem has been is that any pressure to the bottom left/right side of the screen causes the display to go mental. soon after this i've noticed the touch screen becoming less and less responsive, and am now at a point where to get touch screen to work i have to apply pressure to the bottom left area just under the screen. or open the slide out, which seems to apply some pressure which is apparently needed.
Is there anything i can do myself to sort this? any advice in general?
i'm awaiting to hear back from the UK service center, but i-mate have told me that it is entirely at the descretion of the service center wether they would do an out of warranty repair or not. nothing imate could/would do. which is hard to beleive and also dissapointing.
kinda wished i got a qtek now
bump anyone?
I had this and it was just a bit of grit stuck under the bezel stopping the screen from functioning properly and it was randomly selecting things.

Guys my friend was using her Cingular 8525 and some of her sweat ran down the screen into the send/end section of the phone at the bottom of the phone. Now the touch screen dosen't work I have opened it and checked everything seems fine is there something I am missing?
Thanks in advance
Regards
No idea but will comment as I would love for someone who knows something about "touch screens / digitizers" to chime in and offer some advice and knowledge!
My issue is a bit diffrent. My screen broke and I purchased and installed a replacement. The problem I now have is every click on the screen only registers in the Top Left (Start Menu) and I am not sure what to do next.
My old faithful Vario II is slowly dying a death and I still have 3 moths of the 2nd 18 month contract to run.A few of the top row letters(E,R and T) need a good press to get them to work but now a more annoying thing is happening.The sound no longer works unless you press and hold a certain area of the front (LCD SCREEN) slide.To be exact the left hand side of it.
I have ordered a set of torx drivers and looked at how to take it apart,but before I do I wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem and found a cure.It seems to me just to be a loose connection somewhere.
Cheers

Hello,
I have a Telus branded P4000. Since I had It,one LED in the bottom left of the screen that was always full on - so there was a brighter part always on my screen no biggie.
Today I took apart my phone to see why the DPad stopped working. After I put it back together (done it many times before), I noticed my dpad still not working, but my screen was uniform again?!?!?! no one bright LED. Nice. Take what you will from that.
After that my SD card stopped working. Is that a loose connection I can check? which connection would it be? (plan on checking it over again tomorrow).
Also is there a fix for the dpad not working? all the other hardware buttons work, just not the dpad.
I am guessing since you checked the connections that the dpad is just broken and will need to be replaced. Also you have one lcd with a backlight the bright spot is a manufacturing defect not one bright LED. Most of the time the bright spot will come back and get bigger.
yep I think you are right on the nose.
is there anywhere I can get a dpad?
will one from a titan, mogul or 6800 fit into my P4000? I'm guessing so just want to make sure.
and if you have hook ups let me know
Any pad other than a xv6800 pad will work.
thanks go one on order now
So still no d-pad.
Got a brand new one. Still no d-pad, every other button around it works no problem. But the d-pad does nothing. I can feel it push, but nothing happens.
Is this a software issue? I don't want to wast money on this if it's not going to fix it
