dopod 838 stops responding to stylus sometimes and ..HELP! - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I use a dopod 838 and I keep having a problem with my stylus...
My ppc sometime, more often than not, becomes unresponsive to input using the stylus. Another problem I'm having is that the alignment of the stylus keeps being "thrown off" by a couple of pixels. I find myself aligning my ppc atleast ten times a day to say the least.
could someone please tell me what's going on??
I noticed that sometimes my stylus alignment is thrown off if i use my finger to close a program by pressing the "X" button with the tip of my tumb... I never had this problem with my HTC magician..
Please help!!

Hanging at "Align Screen" screen? :(

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.

Trouble tapping screen!

Hello,
I've a trouble with my beloved Tytn:
when I tap near the center of the screen, usually the tap doesn't work properly, but it seems that I tap to the bottom left of the screen, and not to the center.
This trouble causes the tapping of the left softkey, and for example when I'm typing an sms, it send...
I've tried to adjust the screen alignment, many times, but it doesn't work.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Does it happen constantly, or intermittently? I've noticed something similar on my 8525; When using the stylus, all of the presses are registered perfectly, but when using my fingers, the phone seems to have a hard time registering the press. Often times, when I'm using a touch keyboard, it will react as if I had pressed the "X" in the top right corner.
Like I said, it never does that with the stylus, just when I'm using my fingers. I think that the touch screen driver or whatever on this particular device has a hard time registering the presses from a larger-surfaced object like a thumb.
It happens some times, and only with use of fingers (and I have not hotdog-like fingers...).
I don't know how to solve this trouble, but it's difficult to work with that.
Oh, so it sounds like your issue is similar to mine. See, I think that the software that detects the on-screen presses is most likely calibrated for the stylus (hence why you use the stylus to align the screen when you first boot the OS). I think that it has difficulty detecting larger surface contact, which causes it to freak out and detect the press wrong.
This has bugged me for a while, too. It even happens when I'm using my thumb to hit the tabs on HTC Home; I'll hit a tab and the task manager from the upper right corner (I use O2 Plus 2.0) will drop down. Very annoying.
Anynody else have any ideas?

My D-pad doesnt work

Hi.
My D-pad wont work after I charge my Dopod.
I've try to push and press the navi button many times. It works, but it goes crazy as I'm scrolling a list quickly (it wont stop going up the list if I press Up button on the D-pad)
Hope to hear some solution. I love my Dopod
Dopod 838 pro - WM 6
Thank you.
This is not a common problem I see recurring so I suggest you are having a hardware problem which means that you probably have to send it for repair. You could try flashing a new ROM to see if the problems improve.

X1 - Touch and Go

Hi everyone, I recently switched from HTC Touch to X1 and something has changed that I do not really like or at least I'm not used to this now and would like to have it in the same old way. I have WinMob 6.5 but this should not have anything to do with this effect.
Normally I use the stylus to press the touchscreen and immediately the device reacts, but now with X1 the device does nothing after first stylus press, and after a second pressing the device reacts as it should.this sometimes is annoying.
Maybe I also should say that this of course only happens when when backlight dims down. by first pressing backlight recovers and a second pressing make the device react. how to change this to direclty reacting after pressing in backlight-dim mode?
Thanks for feedback

This is something I LOVE about it! It really stops any unintentional presses!

Its not a bug, its a feature. And i like it....
Turn backlight dimming off, so that your x1 turns off after some time without to dim. Then you won't have the problem.
Dear Jordan, did your device react instantly even when the backlight was dimmed? I'd like this feature. Please tell me.

Touch screen not responding

When my HD2 returns from standby (switched on by the right hand button) the touchscreen is sometimes unresponsive. At first this just seemed like a short delay so I ignored it but this week it has refused to allow me to unlock it. The screen seems to be frozen.
I have tried turning the HD2 of and on - not completely off as I can't get to this function without being able to use the screen - and if I do this enough the screen will suddenly become responsive. The problem even survives a soft reset.
Yesterday, I decided to do a hard reset thinking I have done one reg tweak too many. After that the screen seemed fine and I could return the HD2 from stand by okay by sliding the 'lock' button. This morning the problem has reappeared and I again find that the screen will not respond to touch but then suddenly seems to work.
Anyone had the same problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks
I have the same problem as you on my brand new HD2. Did you allread have a solution for that?
folks, do report your issues here .. i have a feeling that this is a known hardware issue by HTC and they are just keeping veru quiet about this.
