hi guys, I have a problem, my screen keeps doing this thing where it stops working, it looks like the device has crashed, but all the buttons work fine. the touch sensors for the screen works about 30% of the time. I've just figured tho that if I twiddle the screen a little it works again. but does it again soon after.
does this sound like it needs to go back to shop for repairs? does it sound broken?
please give your replies.
I have a similar problem with the screen:
- Sometimes (once or twice a day) the Universal does not accept touch screen input.
- Then I twist the screen back and forth.
- After this touch screen works again.
How can avoid this?
BTW, is there a method to physically fix the screen in landscape?
I only use the Universal with the screen oriented in "Laptop" Mode.

I have a cingular 8125 and everything is great except for the fact that when i slide it open to landscape mode the touch screen will stop working, it works fine when the phone is closed and the screen is normal. if i rotate the screen without opening the keyboard the touch screen will work. Anybody know what the problem is?
Sounds like a hardware problem, hopefully you still have warranty left on it.
yea i figured that, and the warranty has been voided a while ago...i guess ill just have to live with it
Hey guys... I'm having a lot of troubles with the lcd screen on my 8525 and this start about a month ago.. I've had this phone for almost one year... bought it as a refurb.
1. when i'm using the phone portrait mode the screen alignment would be perfect... however when i slide the keyboard open the screen goes to landscape and my alignment would be completely off. Heres the interesting part... say if it is still in landscape and i align it then.. it would work perfectly in landscape but then when i close the keyboard and go back to portrait the alignment would be extremely off again.
2. now when i'm in portrait mode and i go to start -> settings -> system -> screen and switch the screen to landscape (w.o sliding the keyboard open) the screen would be perfectly aligned... but when i slide the keyboard open... the alignment would be completely off again... now if i align it while it is in landscape (keyboard open) and go to start..settings..system..screen and change it to portrait the alignment would be perfect... but when i close the keyboard.... it would be off again...
is there anyway i can fix this? I've done a hard reset and flashed the firmware all over again... btw i'm using WM6 from the htc website. if anyone can help...lemme know what i have to do....
thankz
p.s my phones starts with s/n ht649.
Can't say I've seen that reported before. Sounds software based. You could try backing up and hard resetting.

I already tried that.. it didn't work.
Sorry, my bad - you clearly said you had done that already.
I can't fathom what hardware problem there could be. The magnet orientation switch is clearly fine it seems the X Y co-ords are not swapping over - but that seems a software matter, yet your hard reset suggests hardware - Im stumped.
Mike
If the whole screen is moving, including the start menu etc,
I have seen this before, when building my phone, if the lcd ribbon cable is not alligned perfectly this can occur... but resetting the device did not resolve the issue in this instance.

So I guess I'll have to take it to a cellphone repair shop and have it looked at. I just hope it won't cost too much... the phone was a refurb and i got it for $100. Do you guys have any other suggestions?
Hi everyone! im new to the forum So Ello everyone))) I,v had my wizard fr a month now and it was fine untill screen alignment become bad so i press on button and button next to it opened. Because of this i have clicked on Screen Align to align the screen but it started to loop (( dont know why because touch screen it self works perfectly. So what i supposed to do to align my screen? im using my phone by keyboard now because i just cant press any button on screen because it needs alignment. THX to anyone who has read this.
The wizard doesn't like being kept in a pants pocket. If you press with your finger firmly, running it all around the edge of the screen, that might cure the temporary insanity. Otherwise, set it aside (not in your pocket) for several minutes and try again. I got a leather belt case for mine to cure this issue.
If I'm guessing right, the first problem was that the touchscreen seemed to be very weird, so you tried to re-align it, and it always fails.
noup the problem was that i have bought the phone about 3 weeks ago it was working but when i tried screen alignment it just started to loop. I pressed it about 50 times(them 5 crosses) i dont know what to do (( because screen alignment now is crap (to exit screen alignment i need to get off battery and put it back)
Hello, I had changed the glass touch screen my B92m because it was broken.
Everything went well except that I met a big problem with touch screen: it does not react as I did not disconnect the connector from coonector and immediately reconnects. (operation that takes half a second)
Having done this, it works well!
But as soon as the screen is put to sleep or I extinguishes the phone over reaction of the touch screen ...
POWER and HOME buttons still work, but the touch screen does not react.
Is there a driver or additional driver to install the ROM?
I do not understand where the problem is.
Could you help me?
Thank you in advance,
Terry

Hi there. How did you resole your problem? Im also gising though that problem
Hello,
My tablet dropped on the floor yesterday. Small fall, and it has a cover. There is no visual damage, but ever since, the touch screen acts weirdly. Works on top and bottom, but not in the center area. So, I have a hard time to even shut it down, as the Stop button is in the center of the screen. I succeeded in rebooting and the problem was resolved for maybe an hour. But then it came back and now even after rebooting, touch screen is still faulty. Also, the screen will turn on by itself every few minutes, even if I don't touch the top right side button. Never happened before the fall...
What can I do to fix this? Is there a software fix? Is it hardware? If so, how much is it to change a touch screen? Am I SOL and will have to look to buy another tablet? This really sucks anyway as this tablet was still perfect for my needs.
Thanks for any input.
