ok, i was playing bookworm yesterday (like i always do when i travel) on my 8125 and i had to soft reset because it was stuck in phone mode again and wouldnt go back to the today screen and now my top bar is messed up!
when it restarts, there is a blue box in the top corner and it doesnt go away!
it no longer shows the little X in the right corner and my time is gone too. the biggest problem is i dont know how much reception im getting now either! what happened?
anyone else experience this? if yes, what did you do to fix it? im seriously considering flashing to the 1.6.7 Qtek ROM once i get my mini SD card.
help!
Not sure about the OK/Close button, but the rest seems reminiscent of the date/time display option being set to zero. You can fix this through a registry hack, or through an application that applies the registry hack.
To set the date/time display on the task bar to show just the time:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
hm...took me 2 soft resets afterwards but i think that did the trick. thanks!
i think it might have something to do with me having magic button on startup too.

I thought i had a bug in the system, but apparently it's a combo of software.
When i wake the device (8125 fwiw) I get a 1cm 'cover' over the rightmost part of the task area up top. It's annoying because it is covering up my signal strength and clock. sometimes it comes back, most times not. The icons are still clickable, but they re invisible.
I am running omap speedup, magic button (killed it, didn't change anything), using the registry wizard tool - nothing crazy. I tried setting omap speed back to factory - no joy.
Sometimes, if I play around a while, the 'coverup' goes down to 1/2 cm so I only lose the volume icon. No matter what, whenever an app calls for an OK or X icon in the upper right, those do show up.
ARRGH.
I did a full hard reset and reloaded my apps, now this issue is still with me. Need some help figuring out which app caused it - otherwise, it's another hard reset and very careful restore. (the sloppy one took 2 hours)
thanks all!
Yeah i have this too. It was fine UNTIL i did a hard reset and now its gone weird.
no solution
a bit of addtional info... if I turn on the clock to always show time on the title bar, it never shows up - even when the little cover up is gone for that short moment, it still has no time visible.
Anyone?
I may have fixed my own problem. Found this note elsewhere...
In the Registry go to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
If not exist make a key TBOpt (Binary Value) and set the key value to...
0 = no time or date
1 = time
2 = date
3 = both
Even though mine was checked 'on' in the settings panel, it was set to 0 in the registry. This seems to have fixed it (I set it to 1).
Cheers!
For some unknown reason after I press the power button to bring the phone back out of standby the screen is defaulting to the power save setting for the backlight (which means no backlight/dark screen) I have to goto the brightness setting under backlight and slide the bar back to the middle in order to light the screen. It never did this before and I did not change anything. It would just come back on tho the normal backlight setting (in the middle of the bar). If anyone knows why this would happen or if there is a setting in the reg I can do. Please help as I really do not want to do a hard reset and reload everything. I did do a soft reset, but it did not do anything.
Wish I could help. I have had that happen several times. Sometimes it clears itself up, last time I had to hard reset. I never did figure out what caused it...
Try searching, I know others have had the issue, too.
Hi all,
Like many people's, my Hermes (T-Mobile Vario II) suffers from screen misalignment issue, and needs re-aligning almost daily. I've done all the mods but to no avail. It is out of warranty so I can't send it back.
Recently, when I try to align the screen (by pressing Confirm button + Message button, or by going to Settings > System > Screen), it just hangs in the "Align Screen" screen - it does not respond when I tap on the target cross.
Only a soft reset can take me out of the screen.
I am using Schap's January 2008 version.
Any idea why please?
But screen now is misaligned really badly and I can't re-align it...
Thanks.
EDIT:
But it doesn't happen every time. Very occasionally it would work...

Answer is easy... Schaps roms have "Ftouchflo" installed. It is nearly sure it is activated on your phone. In this case, the alignment utility is NOT usable. And the pda can stay with a non reactive touch screen till next reset.
Desactivate touchflo by using the touchflo configuration tool followed by a soft reset. So you will be able to use screen alignment.
Just tried and yes! Thats it!
Thanks a lot matey!
You are welcome
Perhaps this should have it's own thread but it is very similar.
My tytn (WM6) has suddenly developed a strange problem. When I go to align the screen, the crosses appear as normal and when I point to them, it appears to be working. Except... After pointing to the last cross, the whole thing starts again, and this happens continuously!
This started when I applied a screen protector and tried to align the screen through it. It was working fine before then. I have taken the screen protector off again, but there is no change.
As I've spent the whole day installing cab files and getting it as I like it, syncing etc. too, I really don't want to have to hard reset it again.
Any other ideas?
That usually means more than 1 point is touching the screen.
That's what I thought but I've cleaned the screen and done the business card trick all round the edges. I can't see where it could be touching...
Any other ideas or suggestions that may help?
I couldn't find a touchflo "disable" button anywhere on my Hermes, but I did go into "Remove Programs" and uninstalled the HTC Cube application, then did a stylus soft reset, then aligned the screen with no problem.
I have just got my first Hermes, little behind the times, but oh well. Anywho, I have a few questions about some quirks I've noticed with the phone. I've searched around the forums a lot, and still haven't found a lot of answers I am looking for. Here's what I've noticed.
1) The bottom bar is very annoying. I've used the registry edit to hide the battery symbol, and the comm manager, but it slows the phone down ten fold. I've tried using a program, I can't remember what it is called. It hid the bottom bar, which is not what I wanted. Is there anything I can do to remove these icons?
2) If I disable the Green Service LED, what does it mean by I will not vibrate anymore. Vibrate period?
3) When charging, the backlight stays on the entire period of time, as do the keys on the face of the phone. Is there any way to turn these off while charging.
4) Same as above with the keys, whenever you touch the screen the keys come on. Is there any way to make it where the keys only come on if I press one of them?
I think that is all for now, if anyone could help with the aforementioned, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi there!
I have absolutely ridiculous problem with my THD. All of a sudden screen started to act like it is half disabled. In simple words, if a touch some icon on top bar, let's say Start button, click appears on clock. Basically it is looks like touch area displaced by half an inch down. I've tried to calibrate screeen and it seems like it worked for a few minutes and then turns back. I had to hard reset the whole thing and it did not help either. All images, icons, screen items appeared correctly on screen. Bottom menu bar responses correctly though.
I did not drop the phone if it will give a clue.
Anyone knows what the hell is that and how to fix that problem? Please help.
Thank you.
Anyone? Please...
sounds like you need to re align your touch screen. you need to go to Start>Settings>System>Screen then align screen
If you cant get to this then a Hard Reset might be the only way to go
Nothing is working. Now I cannot even get past screen alignment. Looks like it can be a hardware problem.
u may have to hard reset
then after that if it still wont work then u may need a replacement
Yeah. It sound like it is. Jast called HTC support, did hard reset again and after few minutes it is back to that misalignment. Damn...
Connected to ActiveSync and have you got 'My Mobiler' running? I noticed some strange screen behaviour with that on the Device and the host PC.
try pressing both volume keys and tapping the screen at the same time(volup + voldown + tap the screen) --- it will get you to align screen mode if that doesnt work then maybe you have some problems while flashing a rom or something!

I am having the same problem, it started suddenly somedays ago. I realized that when I hard rest it works fine for some time and then slowly left side of the screen stops responding, after a while only right side react to touch so you cannot access START menu nor anything else from the whole screen, just the left corners.Any solution?
