Hear that S/N before HT63XXXXXX have screen alignment problems and was wondering if upgrading it to a newer ROM (like the latest TyTN) ROM would solve this problem?
Can't really seem to draw a conclusive result from the threads posted but would appreciate those who faces/are still facing this problem, could provide their thoughts on this.
Hi, I've got a V1605 with a 628 serial number. Changing to the update from the shipped Vodafone rom and 48 hours later I have not had one single screen alignment issue. My scroll wheel stopped working earlier but a soft reset solved that issue.

Hi there and thanks for your reply. Did you happen to have the screen alignment problem before the update?

Very mildly on this on (my third). Mostly did it when using opera. A tap and hold could be anywhere on the screen. It was also bad whilst charging. Now it seems perfect but I will feedback more after a couple of days more use as it does seem to be something that builds up after hard reset.
thanks for you input. i look forward to your continued help on this matter
Yep, I flashed last night and no screen alignment issues at all today. I was able to reproduce the screen alignment problem before the flash too.
waveydavey ....
Paul here ..
I didn't realise you had any of these problems with your device ....
When did the alignment problems start to affect your device ?
Also ... when I asked you about BT stereo ... I thought you said you were happy ... but following the ROM upgrade you suggested it was 'still' not good.
Are you experiencing problems that you didn't have when you first received the device ?
My biggest issue is the loose stylus .... still being held in by the 'spring' but very little friction anymore ... also sometimes doesn't want to come out unless you rotate in the silo first.
Cheers
Paul.
waveydavey,
which rom version did you update to and do you have a link for it? Did you have to reinstall all your apps?
Does anyone know if HTC has confirmed this problem exists?
Have they determined if its hardware or a software glitch
i just got a Dopod CT9000 with SN HT625XXXXX with the English ROM and so far I have not encountered any screen alignment problem. Some users say the alignment problem is a result that builds up over time so I shall wait and see what happens.
It seems like on my unit the update has fixed it but at the same time hasn't.
Yesterday it lost alignment on the right hand side of the screen. Left was fine but right was 1cm to the left of where it should've been. I realigne the screen and ten minutes later the rigth hand side was 1cm to the right of where it should've been. It might have just got a bit confused but I'll continue to keep an eye on it and report back.
First time since the rom became available as I flashed it as soon as it appeared here.

Phil,
Had this happened after making a lot of calls or anything else that would heat the device up? The hardware aspect of the issue is allegedly that a heating issue causes the screen to become misaligned.

Not really, It was in my pocket while I was shopping when I recieved an email. Checked it and noticed the alignment. Realigned the screen. 10 minutes later and I got another email and it had gone back to the previous alignment.
Heat hasn't affected it in the last few days. An hour and a half on the train surfing using opera full screen every morning and I didn't have any issues even though I could feel it getting hot.
No added software or different use after the initial set up.
I'll keep an eye on it. It could've been "just one of those things" and the fact that it went back to where it had been would back that up. I have had a few problems with the scroll wheel not functioning since the upgrade though. Maybe 2 or 3 times it has just refused to work until a soft reset.
Phil
well so far i have yet ot encounter the problem. everything seems to be ok for me but i have yet to push the device like making long calls or sirfing on it for a long time. will keep on testing and keep you updated.

How were you able to reproduce the screen alignment problem before you flashed your device.
I've called the HTC support in Italy and they told me to send the TyTN back for a swap.
Ciao.

I'm really pissed off... being an medical intern I really need my Vario II (allready gave away my Vario I) and now I'm experiencing the screen alignment problems as described in previous versions! I was told these problems were solved and now have to re-align my screen about every time I turn on my phone.
Is anybody else experiencing this problem?
anyone who told that this is solved is a joker....
even the HT635XXX is having problem... you can return it back, and wait or go to another unit.
It's an expensive bet on a gamble
Today I received my repaired tytn back. SN HT627.
According to the serviceburo it should now be repaired according to the instruction of HTC.
parts used:
1x Gasket, Keypad.Apache For.
1x MYLAR,LCM CONN, BREEZE FOR
So, hopefully this really solved the problem.
Regards,
Piet
let us know.... if fixed.. it means it's a HW issue.. but dont know why even the latest batch still suffers on this ... :evil:
Screen alignment problem
Those of us with this pesky problem are just dying to hear how "pietg" is getting along after the mylar film Liquid Crystal Monitor connection has been replaced. Not quite sure why they changed the keyboard gasket.
Not that we want to hassle "pietg" but if this is the cure some of us will be straight in there with the tools for another look!!Best give it a few days as the problem sometimes vanishes for lengthy periods anyway - especially I've noticed after you've done a reassembly. (just as you think it's cured it's back)

Will give it a week before judging the repair.
Finally I will be able to start using this thing. A lot to learn, also a lot of usage. So if the problem returns it should be back in one week.
(By the way, the first time to problems occured after I started carring hte phone in my pockets. And the phone came under "pressure".
I wonder when other users are getting back there repaired Tytn, the same parts are replaced.
To be continued ......
hereby an update.
Untill totday still no problems anymore.
So for me the problems are solved.

Good news, partly based on your earlier post on parts replaced, I did my own fix which is also still working well.
Just ocassioally when drawing in "notes" I get spikey lines i.e. when drawing a straight line it actually draws a line with v shaped peaks or sometimes a line like a sinusoidal wave. It always settles down within a minute or so, no need to realign. Once when it happened I noticed the WiFi was reconnecting after a broken connection. This spikey line issue is not a big prblem and I think is unrelated to the usual screen alignment issues. I got the feeling it was caused by power surges or leakage currents when the device was performing power hungry tasks? I saw a LCM manufacturers site that said reistance based LCMs are highly suceptable to both power fluctuations and leakage current interferance.
Anyway your post pretty much confirms the physical cause of most folks general alignment problems.

Weird! Mine doesn't have this issue, I've tried the Notes line drawing test.
Neither do I..
Go get a replacement, it might be a faulty device. Not sure what's the point here. It is not a problem with the device, it's a problem with YOUR device.
To be fair mine did do it every once in a while, thought it was perhaps sumthing I had on my finger (oil/grease/water/sweat whatnot) however, desensitised the screen and popped a screen protector on it and it's 100% reliable now..
The first video is not mine so it is NOT my device problem and i tested on another hd2 and it made the same thing. That's why i came up with the touchscreen tweak you find on the tips and tweaks sticky but even that do not solve it 100%.
It has been confirmed has software problem like the pink camera here.

that was my exact thought but with a screen protector i could make it do that so i quitted on it at the end.
Good to know i'm not alone here.
Same problem with mine, have applied the touchscreen tweak and aligned the screen which does make it a little better. Maybe the 1.48 rom will fix it and the camera when its officially released.
dude that is exactly what i got. its hard to write one word without the need to correct it. the keyboard is such a horror. it was easier to write on my diamond. im still thinking about to get money back, ask for a replacement or wait for an update.
Unfortunately rom 1.48 does not solve touchscreen problem nor camera pink issue.
So it's a hardware problem ?

Why don't you take your phone back and go get an iPhone instead? Complaining about it here isn't going to help any and it's not, as far as I can tell, a general issue as plenty of people do not see this effect (myself included).
just tried 2 of the tests on mine and i do not get any of the problems.
I just got an HD2 a couple of days ago on O2 in the UK. I have the stock 1.43 ROM at the moment and have this keyboard jitter really bad too . Should I ring O2 and get a replacement, or is a new ROM likely to fix it?
Cheers.
After 4 months of flawless work, the lower part of the screen (a strip several millimeters from the edge) suddenly stopped responding properly!
E.g., all buttons in this area (including launcher/phone/+ on home screen) either don't work at all, or sometimes activate after a while when strongly pressed with the thumb (orientation doesn't matter).
Just two hours before they responded fine to the index finger.
Also, I've noticed that when I "multi-touch" the lower line in a file browser with two fingers, it works nice! Buttons are too small for that, however
I first tried to restore backup, but it didn't help, of course.
Has anybody had the same problem?? I guess it's a warranty case ...
I would agree, it's probably a hardware problem that you'll have to bring your phone in for service to get fixed.
I'm having that same problem my self, but just now and then. What helped with me is that I press the upper left corner of the phone with my other hand and then the lower part works fine, so i think i should get a new digitizer or its just loose connector.
im having the same problem , i have put up with it for the past few weeks and its driving me nuts now. today i did a factory reset which made no difference , i called htc who didnt sound a bit suprised by my phone call it gets picked up tomorrow morning to go for repair so the question is ... is this a common fault? and how the hell am i gonna cope without my hero in my pocket ?
Yeah happened to mine last week, a few have had the same issue where it's just the launcher bit not responding. Although the good news is that I'm getting it back tomorrow though so it's good times!
I had the same problem with my touchscreen (after a month or so!)
Mine got picked up thursday by HTC and I just checked the tracking site and they just recieved it.
I wonder how long it's going to take
Visited their service center last week.
They've immediately replaced my screen with a new one without any ado. Now everything works as before!
BUT a friend of mine who bought his Hero in January is having similar problems now...
It is a common problem according to HTC.
Mine was repaired in just 10 days.
Same problem here, did htc said anything about this problem? is it a common fault?
thank you
I said it in the post above yours.
ah yes, right, thank you

If they acknowledge it officially, couldn't you provide a link please?
i gave mine last week to repair, they returned to me unfixed. on the paper stated that they only updated the software, what a dumb this htc guys. need to go back and tell them again the same story. im wasting my time only for this. wtf
I recently had this problem. The 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen wouldn't respond, took it into T-Mobile who said I'd have it back within about 7 to 10 days... 3 weeks later I got a text saying I could collect my phone...
On the paper sheet it says they've replaced the lens.. Which I can see they have as before I had a miniscule hairline scratch near the top.
They also mention a software update (1.0.0.A6288)
Either way it works nicely now.
I've recently experienced the same issue - the lower part of the screen, the one where the LauncherPro icons usually are stopped responding to touch. If I press really hard it works sometimes, but it's pretty annoying. I didn't sit on the phone or drop it recently, it just stopped working all of a sudden.
Is there anything I can do, as the phone is out of warranty ?
HTC South Africa gave me a new hero after I took mine in for the 3rd time. Hardware problem. Very happy with their service.
i have this exact same problem, is the only solution to send to htc? >_> Cuz my warranty's out already unfortunately... i flashed my hero to CyanogenMod 7 and it seems to have helped, but still not completely responsive... I also have a problem where at times i completely lose control of my touch screen where the spots i touch seem to respond to opposite sides of the screen... anyone else?
Remove battery, Remove sim card. put a dryer on the htc logo for about 40 mins. put the phone under a heavy object. Let it dry for about 15 mins and your fixed.

The top part of my phone does not respond to touch anymore... it is impossible to bring down the notification bar... and once in a while the whole screen goes unresponsive.. tried factory reset but still the same problem..
am having the same problem since 2 days back
after reading some of the posts i found that the Digitizer For HTC G6 Legend A6363 should be replaced with new one i ordered mine from ebay
ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5039.m570.l1313&_nkw=Digitizer+For+HTC+G6+Legend+A6363&_sacat=See-All-Categories
waiting for the item to be delivered
I've also got a touchscreen issue: the area of the notification power widgets is unresponsive... the rest of the screen works fine, but I don't know for how long :/

Do you have widgetlocker, by any chance ?
Or a lockscreen replacement which disable the notification bar during the "slide to unlock" state ?
I didn't know there was such thing as widgetlocker. I use CM7 latest nightly, never seen that thing.
I also facing this problem from last 2 weeks and i also think this is digitizer problem. If anyone else found the solution else changing the digitizer, then please post.
This is beautiful phone but htc added a poor quality things in it, due to which many users facing such problems.
Nah.. I dont think its because of widget locker.. its the digitizer..
well that's a shame, gotta buy a new digitizer on ebay after just over 1 year of use...
I know.. this sucks... Im planning to upgrade though.. Any of u guys have any suggestion?
Depends on your carrier if you want suggestions for an upgrade.
...but that would drive the post off-topic.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I have the same problem. my screen doesnt work anymore because some water got in from the grill above the screen :S
should I try to take apart and dry off or shall I buy a new digitizer directly?
I think it may be a good idea to try disconnecting your digitizer and reconnect it as it just might be helping. I did it on my girlfriends legend and it has been working perfectly ever since. Maybe a good idea to at least try that before buying a new one. So i guess it could be in the connector to? At least this worked for me.
My touch screen dosent work at times. but after rebooting the phone the problem becomes solved. But the problem comes again after a week or so. Any suggestions guys??

I also have this problem, but if I wait a couple of minutes the touchscreen
becomes responsive again. Half of the screen works when it's unresponsive (right half of the notification bar and down). It's quite annoying but I cannot afford a new phone at the moment.
I'm also wondering if this might be temperature related, this problem reoccurred very often during the summer but stopped during the winter. But now (spring) it's back again.
My problem got worse and the phone became totally unresponsive, changed it, got a new phone.

exact same problem here, mine works when it feels like working, totally random, I simply can't understand why, I doubt it's the temperature... I think its in the device theres something wrong, I smack it numerous time and it works right after a big smack on the screen, or rub your whole hands on the screen, also, the angle you are holding the phone affects this problem, if none of these work, a phone restart always makes it work at the beginning. Oh boy did my phone took and taking much beating... oh well, I wish I could permanatly fixed the problem here, as I was thinking of handing the phone to my brother when I upgrade, I'm using CM 6.1.
I still recommend the same thing that i posted earlier here, her screen still works perfect.
I had the same problem few months ago. The problem is with the touch digitizer. I bought a digitizer on ebay and replaced it myself. After that my phone has been working fine. Its not that hard to replace it if you have a small knowledge about hardware.
I use to get that unresponsive screen issue only in the summertime, plus it gets worse if I add humidity (read: sweat). I just need to give it some time then to dry off/ cool down outside my pocket, and it's all fine again.
Hello all, I hope this post can help you with the same or similar problem I had.
My LG gt540 started having a problem 2 months ago, the touchscreen got offset by 2 centimetres(1 inch) verticaly down, this was very annoying specially texting and couldnt access the top panel. Ex: to unlock the phone I had to press 1 inch above the green button.
Sometimes(I dont know why) it went back to normal, but about a week since the problem started it just got permanent, I tried rebooting, taking the battery, etc, nothing worked... Even tried to go to the calibration option but the offset was to much so it said out of range...
Then I read something online about the heat caused touchscreen problems, so I was thinking... hardware dont really like heat, and I always carry my phone on my pocket, the body heat could be damaging the touchscreen, lets try cold, it could solve it, long shot but what do I have to lose?
Left my phone in the freezer for 10 minutes, turned on, and it worked! for 1 month now its back to normal!
Hope it helps you, but try first freezing it powerd off, may be safer.
i have got my phone 2,5 years and i havent got any insue with the touch screen
Hi
My phone started doing the exact same thing a week ago...
This is the only thing I haven't tried, lets see if it works for me....

I've had screen calibration problems since i started flashing custom roms.
In my case the screen positions are slightly off at the right side of the screen. When I want to type an "p" i have to touch where the "o" is on a german keyboard.
I'm trying your solution right now.

I have problems for the outer 4 sides.
It's worth to try.
Didn't work for me, it was only fine for 5 minutes....
Also didn't work for me.
Besides, after puting it in the freezer the display protection foil now looks a bit strange.

Hi, sorry for waking this thread up.
I also have the same problem, press 'o' to get 'p'.
I want to ask you guys who already tried this method. Did it work?
It's tempting, but it might be better to know more info.
Thanks.
