Had a TyTN (HERM200) HT628xx with frequent alignment problems, loose stylus and some Other Small Pleasures
After replacement, I now have a TyTN HT633xx with no issues whatsoever, except a really snug stylus and apart from the fact that, when 'shaked', something glinks inside. But, hey, I prefer it stirred anyway
-s.
doesnt happen that often but when it does it - happens for most of that day... nothing consistant with it...
the issue has moved from the far right of the LCD to around about just right of the centre...work that one out....
S/N 632
I have the Orange SPV M3100 Hermes 100 HT631 ( got it last week ) which has misalignment problems...I have had to reset twice already...
Had to HTC TyTN's
One with Dutch rom and s/n HT 628xxxxx
Had very bad screen alignment problem, more than 1 cm!!
Second with Eng. rom and s/n HT 628xxxx
Had mild screen alignment problem, but also keyboard problem...keypresses not registered and problems with the GSM connection (my nokia and a SE had no problems with the same simcard and network) The device also wasn't very stable. I needed a lot of resets to keep it going.
This is my second TyTN in two weeks and it's also going back...and guess what.....I'm not going to get a third one...I"m sick and tired of this device. It gave me al ot of trouble the last two weeks were I've used the device only two days in total.
HT632 Vario II
Had it roughly a month no alignment problems yet (Touch wood)
Voda v1605 HTC626
Got alignment issues after a week.
Waiting for a replacement, will let you know how I get on.
First TyTN HT628: 2 bad keys and inoperative flash but the screen was fine
Current TyTN HT630: no issues of any kind so far. It got pretty hot last night too charging while listening to shoutcast but no alignment issues cropped up.
This problem appears to be really widespread :shock:
HTC 628: I started experiencing the problem.
HTC 636: I seem to be okay.
Both on TMobile UK as Vario II

I got a serious problem with my mda vario here.
sometimes, 7 out of 10 times, when i get a call the screen gets totally corrupted and jumbled like on the picture in the attachment. i can only see black vertical lines on a white screen. in order to make the screen work properly i have to turn the phone off/on (stand-by mode) then.
does anybody know where the problem is?
i have to confess, that the phone slipped out of my hands and fell on the ground 3 times so far.
thanks
well, you say youve dropped it 3 times already? is it possible that something may be loose inside? is there cosmetic damages from dropping?
yes, there are some scratches on it. i don't really think that something is loose or broken, because the screen gets only on icoming calls corrupted.
so i don't think that it is due to a loose contact or something like that...
I have exactly the same problem. I personally think it is unlikely that dropping the phone has caused it as it corrects when you cycle the power button. Any help on this from other forum member would be much appreciated.

Any resoluation this? I have the exact same problem!!
Oh dear ... somethings in the air...
mine's got it also. first time i saw it was a couple of days ago. only happens with the alarm clock in the morning :?
My phone is crap like hell... gotta hard reset and reconfig the damn thing. acting up lately...
(ps... AFAIK i barely dropped the phone... maybe 1 or 2 times. nothing more)
I have the same problem
I have read the service manual of wizard and said:
Unusual Vertical / Horizontal lines or partial display
(1) Check the connection of LCM FPC whether is properly connected. (Is a conector between motherboard and LCD)
(2) Try with another LCM. (LCM=LCD Screen)
(3) Try with another Main Board.
(4) Replace LCM if necessary
(5) Replace Main Board if necessary.
(6) Once the defective part has been identified, verify it again with the defective part whether the
symptom could be duplicated
Any sugestion?
Okay..
so far, i have installed Molski 2.26 rom (30meg free version) and upgrade the radio rom form 2.25 to 2.47.
I have not had another occurance of this so far.
Maybe a fluke.
Screen fixes when pressure applied to bottom of the screen
Guys,
I now have to keep my finger pressed hard against the bottom of the lcd unit to get the screen to display to work properly. it is under warranty with Imate but they want me to send it to Abu Dhabi for repair. I'm in Canada and concerned that I may not get it back.
So has anybody else identified this as being a loose connection rather that a real hard fault. Also has anybody fixed their unit by dismantling and reseating the connections.
Finally has anybody used the Imate repair service and was it timely & reliable?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Mick
This is a real hard fault.. had it with my mini s, took it into the shop, it was away 2 weeks... and in the end they gave me a replacement!!
I agree - took it completely apart and cleaned everything ....
And still have the issue.
Serves me right for buying something in Middlesbrough I suppose
It must be a hard fault with the LCD assembly. Will have to see how Dixons handles an overseas repair.
Take care & thx,
Mick
I had the same problem, in the end i took it into my local t-mob shop to have it repaired, they ended up sending me a new one.
Well, I've exactly the same problem since the past two-three weeks, it also occurs only in the morning. I'm living in the Netherlands and this is happening since it's rather cold over here, especially in the morning (3-4 degree Celcius). Since my bedroom window is open during the night, it gets rather cold in my room.
During the rest of the day it is +8 degree Celcius, and the phone works flawless. Maybe this problem has something to do with the Temperature?
Temperature
Bebob - don't thin so as I have had this problem for a number of months and the temp here in the summer is high (30+ degrees C)
It looks to be a bad connection type issue and may be a bad screen cable. It makes sense though that the issue is at the bottom of the screen cos this is where we press the select buttons all of the time.
Pls keep me posted on how you do. mine is going to a local repair shop (on my dime) tomorrow to see if they can fix it.
If not can any of you guys recomend a new unit that could be considered an upgrade to the KJAM ?
Many thanks
Mick
suggestions needed
friends, i have o2 mini s and got the same problem with screen for the last 3 weeks....
can anyone tell me that will the problem aggravate or else will i be able to use my cell properly for few months...
and also what will be the approx cost of repair..
all suggestions will be warmly appreciated...
It's happened to me as well. I have lived with that for one month now. It is happening, when I touch the cursor keys or when touch the lower part of the display. I tried "shaking/hitting" the xda and it looks better, so I assume it is a faulty connection cable.
I have active Cleartype and no more vertical lines for the past 2 days.
I seems to be a problem when background is white and leters are black.
Regards
similar problem
i dropped the phone (T-Mobile MDA Vario) and now when i turn it on the screen is fine for 5-30 seconds but then it scrambles, but works again if i smack the bottom of the phone on my hand!
t-mobile staff told me there are sensors to identify if it has been dropped. I'm suspicious that it could even be programmed to go "faulty" once it is dropped as the screen is fine for a limited time so it obviously works somewhat. do you know if this is the case? or what's happened? also is it a simple thing i could do myself? i didn't take out insurance so that's why i haven't just claimed off that as i'm really broke
Any help is appreciated
Regards,
Steve
whiteish screen / over temperature
hi,
I have a problem smilar at qtek 9100. I had upgade to my ppc wm5 to wm6 around 3 week ago and overclocked to 221 mhz with batery status today plug-in . 2 days ago Screen became whiteish (almost no contrast or over gamma) and working temperature is around 30c. I tried to re-flash with many kind roms but noting chaged.
Is there anybody has these kind of experice. If I can not solve. I am planing to buy new LCD ( I am not sure new LCD will solve the problem)
Thanks
Same problem here. Dropped it ONE time and the screen went crazy. Sent it to my t-mob shop and they got it repaired. They said in the report that they changed the "flex". Dunno if this helps.
From number of forums I been trough on different web sites my belief is that all the Hermes units have alignment issues.
I think some users use the device very lightly so the alignment issue does not show or some users might not trigger the conditions that cause this problem.
I base this on a fact that some people get the issue after 2 weeks and some get it after day or 2.
Also people who I know that have re-ordered their units, still have alignment issues with new units.
Hermes device builds seam to have the same build issues over and over again:
1. Alignment issue
2. Camera is misaligned to the body of the phone
3. Keyboard only clicks once when closed.
4. Keyboard button problems
There some common hypothesis to the cause of the issue:
1. Tightened screws below the screen (yahh)
2. Digitizer problem
3. Heath from the battery
4. Rubber underneath the screen too thick
REQUEST:
Can anyone after re-aligning the screen can reproduce the alignment issue?
The issue 1:
After some use the screen alignment offsets for 2-3mm to the left.
The issue 2:
After some use the screen alignment offsets for 1cm to the left.
If we can reproduce this problem we might be able to force HTC to provide TyTn's units that actually work.
Forgot to say I am on my second Vario II 632 Series
hmmm, had mine for over 3 weeks now....used it ALOT (went on holiday with the thing) and i aint had any issues AT ALL with it.
If there were issues with ALL the hermes devices they would have been recalled. Besides its seems unlikely there is a fault with both the HERM100 and 200 models!?

Try to use it like a laptom modem with 3g... In this way I reproduced the issue
....done.....still fine.
Checked by using the character recogniser in Word. The line was perfectly lined up with the stylus, across the entire screen.
Since you can only reproduce this by using as a modem that WOULD suggest a software issue???
Have we ruled out that this could be a software issue?????
Just so u know my TyTN is not locked to ANY network and has a serial number starting HT628.
I did notice in several forums that people having HT628 series claim that they do not have any screen issues.
Can anyone who has HT628 series Hermes confirm that they have screen alignment issue.
have a htc hermes since 6 weeks, serial no. 628. I heavyly use it every day. Had no serious problem until yesterday. (only anoying problem was that bluetooth is switching off after some hours without any reason)
But now this fuc... alignmentproblem started on my device too! The fairy-tale that only older devices get this problem is simply not true.
Shall I ask for replacement too?
even 635 is having alignmnet issue..
I had a 628 series and now a 630 series... never seen a screen alignment issue!
CHT9000 623XXX has screen alignemnt problem and camera flash
not working, but the screen problem seems to become more predictable.
I can usually conjure this problem when using power-draining features such as 3G or WLAN. Also, on multiple occasions loudpseaker activity has forced the issue.
I thought about static electricity but since the location of the problem seems to be confined to the right edge of the screen is seems improbable.
I guess it boils down to understanding the technology behind it to include or rule out contributing factors.
Any Sparkys around who could enlighten us?
HTC hardware fault
Good Afternoon,
There are now procedures in place for fixing the Screen alignment issue with the TyTN devices. This is a hardware issue that we have identified and we are offering a replacement to owners of affected devices with two conditions.
1: The device must be returned with all accompanying accessories.
Everything that was in the box when you bought the device must be in the box when you return it.
2: The device must be a Genuine HTC Badged device. This means that the device cannot be a Vodafone v1605, an O2 XDA Trion, a T-Mobile Vario II or any other device based on the TyTN, but that is not actually a TyTN. For these devices, you must contact the Network/Reseller for further advice on this issue.
If you meet these two provisions, you may contact your nearest repair centre to arrange the swap. Please place everything back into the original box and arrange to have the device picked up. It will then be tested to confirm that it has the problem, and then it will be swapped for a replacement unit.
If you are unable to return everything, you will be eligible for a repair under the warranty. For this also, you can contact your nearest repair centre to arrange this.
Your nearest repair centre is as follows:

I brought CHT9000 at July 2006 and O2 Trion at August 2006. Both have disalignment problem. At first I thought it is ROM problem and happened for certain model and S/N only.
I try 4 ROMs : I-Mate, Dopod ENG ROM, TyTN and New CHT (Taiwan) ROM.
I installed these ROMs and without installed 3rd parties software. Also I proceed all necessory method to prevent this problem happen such as set a false exchange server for activesync and unclick USB to PC (Check my post).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58633
However, all of them have this fuxking disalignment problem. :twisted:
It is hardware problem and I have 2 possible methods to produce this disalignment happen to your TyTN:
1. Body Heat. i.e. Charging, Surf internet and Long talk.
2. Apply very little pressure on LCD. i.e. Cleaning your LCD Panel.
You will find this fxcking disalignment happen again. If you encounter this problem, don't realign the screen manually. Wait few mintues and you will found that it will re-align again. Now you can re-align the screen manually this time.
I already sold my device and not recommend anyone to buy it. It seems that HTC cannot solve this problem and perhaps they don't know the causes.
If you want to buy it, please wait. :wink:
If you brought it, good luck and godspeed.
i have sent mine back because of it
This is the HTC official answer to my request:

Mine goes back Tuesday hopefully the replacement unit will not have the same issue.
There are people who fixed their issue by ROM Upgrade. There are people who just bought their Hermes got this problem. Some has SN HT63XXX. There also some people who been swap their units, and the issue came back.
Well, as I see it, HTC does not know how to fix this issue 100% since it is also happening on some Dopod 838, 8125 (models with sliding keyboard).
I will upgrade my Trion this weekend, and if this issue persists... I will sell this baby and reactivate my trusty Universal.
:lol:
A colleague was able to fix the problem by untightening the two screws on the back of the display and retightening them (not quite as tight as before). His device works without screen alignment problems ever since.
It seems that the screws are too tight which causes tension on the LCD resulting in screen alignment problems.
Magnet Theory
A friend of mine with CHT Dopod 9000, did this and fix his alignment issue.
"When Slide the keyboard, there's a magnet that activates the landscape mode. It's in the back of the screen when you slide it. ( I tried to put it near a magnet and the lanscape activates!)
Then I put a tape at the back of the small protruding (hunchback) just enough to be able to slide it close. This will decrease the magnetism receive from the main body when is close. Then for a week, it's good than before that I need to align 5x a day."
I know this true, since I met him and check his device. I even tried to massage his display, or run it hot.
I will try it myself... let u posted...
The problem only started for me after I installed a screen protector (Martin Fields, an excellent choice!), and since then I've had to re-align the screen every day. This morning I tried the screw trick, so I'll report back if it works for me.
Also I should point out that I have an MDA Vario II, so it looks like those of us who waited are no better off.
The next problem I have to deal with is an unresponsive 'C' key on my keyboard... :wink:
alignment issue is SW or HW or Both...
But unresponsive key(s) is really a HW, my first one has the "L" and backspace.. and it always like that, try to press it fast and it will not register all unlike the rest.
goodluck to all of us!!
:wink:
Anyone that has sent their TyTN back in for repair/replacement for the screen crapalignment, please report back when you get your TyTN back. I want to know if it's worth making the effort to get mine replaced, seeing as I live in Australia and I don't exactly have HTC repair centres, mainly on account of that they don't sell this here. BUT if it's worth getting it repaired/replaced, i'll try to make arrangements with my ebay seller and/or some overseas repairing people.
Cheers guys,
~Louis x_.

Hello to everybody...
Member "Chaos42" has updated Wiki , he said that all problems with Tytn has been solved :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RecentChanges
He wrote that devices with Serial HT633 has got not problems.
Would you please "Chaos42" tell Us why you think so ? Have you tested a Tytn with this serial ? For how many days ?
As i read here :
www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=61&t=202144
seems that Tytn(s) with serial beginning with HT634 (that is greater that HT633) are not bug free..Language is Chinese, you can translate it with "Google's tools for languages".
Guys , i'm disoriented...Let's start talking about this news.
Bye!
Hello everybody,
is recieved my replacement unit five days ago. It is an TytN HT633xxx, ROMVers: 1.18.257.2 (07/22/06), Radio: 1.03.03.10, Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H, EXTROMVer: 1.18.257.105
and i have to say this device feels diferent/better then my old HT628 TyTN. The Keyboard feels more solid, the screenaligment problem has not occured once since i am using my device, and the most obvious thing was that the new battery was not fully coverd with a white plastic, but had a metalplate on the bottom instead. Alle buttons work as expected (also on the keyboard), the device is not getting hot when using wlan and the battery seems to last longer. So i am pretty happy with my new TyTn.
If there is anything you want to know or want me to check, feel free to ask
Thank you chaos42 for your reply... :wink: I was a little "suspicious" in my post because i've seen your Wiki's upgrade but i've not seen any your post in this forum before about Tytn and you registered your account only yesterday...So i thougt that this was a new Htc's commercial strategy to sell Tytn that seems to have,at the moment,many bugs.
What can you say us about :
1. During battery charge Tytn getting hot ?
2. This HT633 Tytn is in your hands since ?
3. Wi-fi range is good or poor ?
4. Screen switch from portrait to landscape when Tytn is in his guard or when keyboard is "opened" ?
5. The guard is like the previous or is a new one without magnet ? (The magnet seems to cause alignment and orientation issue to the display)
6. Any freeze problem ?
At the moment you and "randomelements" owns the most recent devices...let us to stay tuned on your tests...Thanks in advance.
Hi,
how did you get the new one? Did you replace it for free thru HTC support?
thanks

I dont work for HTC nor i am in any way related to HTC
For the last ten years i was a heavy and loyal palmuser so, i stayed away from ppc-forums :roll:
the tytn is my first ppc device...
1: This was my problem with my old HT628 especialy when charging and using wlan at the same time. This problem is completly gone. This is maybe related to the new design of the battery, with the metalplate on the bottom. And for me the battery lasts now about 30% longer.
2: five days, playing a lot with it
3: its slightly better, but i only tested it at home, so i have to do some more tests
4: the screen still keeps switching when i take it out of the case, because of the magnets in that damm case. When using the keyboard the screen switches as expected, no more freezeing during screenswitch
5: still the one with magnets
6: no freezing until now, no need for a softreset since i got it
cheers,

Yes, the friendly support told me that during the first 4 weeks they replace it for free. I just called them to ask if its normal that the device gets pretty hot during charging especialy when using wlan at the same time. She said, she has to ask, but after mentioning my screen alignment problems she said i will get a replacement unit, and i should send it in as soon as possible because its a know hardware issue.
I also called the repairecenter in germany, just because i wanted to know how long it will take, and after i said that i got the screen aligment issue, they laughed and told me i will get a replayment unit for sure. four days later i had my new tytn. thumps up for the htc support!
Hello,
Only to say that the initial TyTN Spanish version is:
ROMVers: 1.18.262.2 (07/22/06)
Radio: 1.03.03.10
Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H
EXTROMVer: 1.18.262.105
1. During battery charge Tytn getting hot ? >>> NO
2. This HT633 Tytn is in your hands since ? >>> 2 weeks
3. Wi-fi range is good or poor ? >>> Poor (my Qtek 9100 has better range)
4. Screen switch from portrait to landscape when Tytn is in his guard or when keyboard is "opened" ? >>> YES, like the Qtek 9100, because de magnet (if you put the magnet near the camera buttón screen change, there is a magnetic swith inside)
5. The guard is like the previous or is a new one without magnet ? (The magnet seems to cause alignment and orientation issue to the display) >>> The guard is like the Qtek 9100's, 4 magnets, but leather.
6. Any freeze problem ? >>> NO

I called the servicedesk today and the lady told me different.
They have been waiting for an answer from HTC. And got it yesterday.
HTC mailed them how to repair the Tytn (replace parts) and they are not allowed to replace the Tytn's.
So, new policies??
Well, wil wait and see which phone I get back.

NO, it was only one week old when I send in. By now it is 5 weeks old

So MacPac you think the magnets in the case are causing the screen alignment issue? Because any magnet powerful enough to effect a switch inside the device cant be having good effects on the screen alignment, is that a logical notion?
Just updated the wiki to include HT634 (HERM300). only issue I've noticed is that some of the keys aren't as responsive as the others. Does anybody else have this version and experiencing similar issues or do I have a duff unit?

2. This HT633 Tytn is in your hands since ?
3. Wi-fi range is good or poor ?
4. Screen switch from portrait to landscape when Tytn is in his guard or when keyboard is "opened" ?
5. The guard is like the previous or is a new one without magnet ? (The magnet seems to cause alignment and orientation issue to the display)
6. Any freeze problem ?
Thanks...
Having had the first v1605 from Vodafone (an HT626), I was promised I could have an exchange at any point up until 14 Dec - the idea was I'd wait until I had evidence that all the problems had been resolved before requesting the exchange be actioned.
I have just done that and taken delivery of an HT648 which is a suitably late serial number.
It has the 1300mAh battery.
I have put my writeshield on it. Alignment is fine at the moment (only 8 hours). I never had the alignment issue with my last one so I hope it doesn't happen now. Anyone got good ideas of how to encourage it quickly ?
I restore from my Sprite Full backup. The self extracting backup wouldn't open (common and very irritating Sprite issue) so I installed Sprite in main, restored the backup and then just deleted the Sprite folders in main. Everything ran fine except CPL6 which I removed, re-installed and re-activated. Surprisingly simple really.
Differences ?
Rom is 1.20.161.3
Date is 08/02/06 (August I guess)
Radio 1.03.06.00
Protocol Ver 32.34.7010.01W
Same version of WM5.
Keyboard works fine ... as does keyboard light.
Screen is pixel perfect
Stylus is positive but not stiff.
To be honest ... the biggest difference is the buttons. In particular the power and camera are far more positive than before. With the old one it was always a struggle to find and activate these. Now they are great.
Just have to wait and see if it lasts.
Paul.
You will need to run the upgrade mode restore if you change your device. Here is the link.

i have the HT648 and after one month using it i am having problems with the screen - the upper right corner of the screen is tapping on itself and it is driving me crazy.
Do you have this problem?
Ken
Mine is also a vodafone s/n HT648. I've had it over a month now and had no problems with it so far (except keeping up with thw WM6 releases). Screen alignment is fine and all other hardware behaves itself normally.
TyTN status
Hi guys
All TyTNs have a tendancy to confuse screen presses - particularly when using something large like a finger. Most of mine would occasionally bring up the iLauncher meter selection (top couple of pixels of the screen) when using your finger on the phone pad. One was worse that the others I had and that was the reason it went back.
I'm about to exchange my 7th v1605 for something else. I had none of the original issues (screen alignment, failing or sticking keys on the keyboard etc) but I did have a large gap between the keyboard and screen, a failed stylus silo - which will eventually happen on all TyTNs, corruption with SD (early models) and a few other oddities. Vodafone would good at exchanging but having messed about for nearly 9 months (I had the first TyTN in the UK - through Vodafone) I finally got agreement with Vodafone it was never going to be right ...
Have a look at my new thread if you're interested in what I did next.
