NEED HELP MDA GOING CRAZY(willing to pay)

My MDA IS GOING CRAZY!! Every time I press the power button to take the phone off of the standby mode the phone seems to randomly just open up contacts and then try to delete one of the ones that are first on the list. Also the two soft buttons aren't working. the keyboard, some of the letters aren't working either, and every time i press the left softkey on the keyboard the menu on the right always opens up when I am on the internet. For some reason it just started acting like that when I increased the size of the cache. This one time all the keys worked for like 5 minutes the other day, then they went back to not working. I already did a virus scan and nothing came up, so yea. I am willing to pay if needed to the person through paypal, whoever helps me fix up my mda. NEED HELP!!!!

Have you tried updating to a newer firmware?

Are there any magnets in the immediate vicinity of the MDA?
I know it sounds crazy but even the magnet on the included t-mobile case can do things like switch the screen to landscape or bring up the calender.
It's just a thought and a possibility.

nope no magnets, and the rom is the 2.6 one, the newest rom, dunno what wrong with the phone, im willing to pay to fix it up. whoever helps me fix it up, i will pay them.

if i were you, (thankfully i'm not because i have had enough problems with my XDA!! lol) i'd do a hard reset, but i'll assume you can't do that because of the mind of its own issue, so power down the phone, and leave it on charge so there's atleast 50% battery in the phone. meanwhile, goto the t-mobile website and get the latest rom (or re downlownload the rom that's already installed...2.6 i think u said?) and try to upgrade using bootloader. todo this, hold the camera and the power buttons until a funny screen comes up, run the update utility, and then plug in the phone to the firewire cable (then onto the usb) on the first screen of the program (if that makes sense). then run the update utility and that should work.
there's no reason why it shouldn't. i had a similar problem with a se w800i about a year ago, and it turned out a button was stuck down, so check that.
i hope you get it sorted, as i kno how frustrating these phones can be.

Ok, you need to give more info. What IPL/SPL, Radio, version, etc. etc. What other steps did you follow? Downgrade to 1.08 unlock? CID unlock? Upgrade to 2.26? Then flash whatever ROM you are using...and which ROM is it? What other apps have you loaded? How old is the phone? Who is your service provider? What is your bank account number? (ok maybe we don't need that one haha) What SD card are you using? Have you dropped the phone?
--M

uuh, i haven't dropped the phone at all. Its unlocked, and I changed the network settings so that I get unlimited internet and other data transfers for free. I have Tmobile prepaid. Other than that I am going to try to hardware reset it, tried it already, it didn't work. So, I will try to update the rom, the phone is unlocked, so if I update the rom hopefully it wont become locked again.

It won't become locked again, it sounds like a hardware problem it is most likely a button or key on the keyboard is getting stuck and/or shorting every so often causing this behaviour.

Have you recently loaded any apps? Maybe changed the key settings? Deleted a file by mistake?
How large did you make the cache? What program did you use to change the cache? Did you change anything else besides the cache?

uuh i made the cache to 4 MB and I did change the settings for the IE but I changed them back, I used Resco Registry Editor, also I went to this website to find the registry tweaks http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/
Then I went to the 2 performace tweaks:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/speed_up_your_pocketpc
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/increase_performance_speed
I also did this one on the IE using Resco Registry Editor:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/change_pocket_internet_explorer_6
Other than that I haven't done any other ones, I tried overclocking by using a software called Omap Clock, but that software sucked, it would be overclocked for a while, and it would return back to the default speed whenever I would press the power button to put it on standby.

if i were you..
if you are willing to pay for those who ever fix you phone, i'd rather pay my nearest service center to fix my device.

Some Help... Phone blank screening to a degree

Thanks for reading.
I'm currently using WM6.1 on the phone, and loving everything about it.
Since day 1, I've used a phone lock code, along with PIN1 code.
When unlocking the phone for after say an hours inactivity, the keypad will show, then the screen will go blank only showing the top bar of the phone.
Any press of buttons and screen will just make a beeping sound, and so far nothing I've done will restore the keypad to unlock the phone.
Is there anything wrong with the ROM i have, and is there anyone who can suggest how to correct this?
Please remember, the top bar still shows, and a reset allows the phone to work as normal (once logging back into it of course).
Thank you,

Hi guys,
Sorry to bring this back up, but this problem is still going on.
Not sure how to resolve it, so hoping someone would know how to solve this.
Thanks,

Posted twice for some reason.

Maybe is a sw failure,(50%) try to reflash with this fw: RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3625023_6275_1540700_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe
if your hermes its from att/cingular. after flash open and close the tap of hermes, if the blank screen continues or return this, the failure is hw (the flex component broken,bus, pcb) in this case you need to buy the spare part or send to sat.
good luck

Hi there,
Its not white screening, or anything else, I think the next time it does this, I'm going to have to take a picture, to make sure it can be understood clearly.
Basically, when bringing the phone out of standby (from pressing off/on button) and attempting to enter my pin into the phone the phone will allow me usually to press at least one number of my pin, and then it'll black screen, where the start bar still displays, but no response.
The handset isn't problematic when being opened for use, or anything else, its just annoying to have to reset to load the phone back up again.
I hope this helps?

Further to the above, here is what i've been talking about...
Happened last night, typically as I was bored, and had to wait till morning to take the photo...

Still no movement on this post...
Would it be suggestable to upgrade the install of WM?
If it is, how easy (will read guides beforehand) is it to do (reasonably, hard etc).
Just this is now my only phone, so don't fancy my chances bricking it.
Thanks!

Sorry to be posting yet again, but this has now happened 3 times a in row since last night. I wouldn't mind knowing if a rom fix would sort this, and if so whats the best rom to go for...
Just keen to get this sorted now...
Thanks.
If it helps, I've nothing running when this happens. The exception of last night, where I was using Audio Manager when walking home, and had to soft reset once in the door.

Hi
I am almost certain you have a software fault here and need to reload a new ROM - take your pick - my preference is schnaps - it isnt that hard to do and should solve your problem
Just go to the Windows upgrading section on here and follow the process - you will be happy

Hard reset on HTC Ozone?

Hello to all,
I have the HTC Ozone from verizon... Recently I flashed the custom Windows Mobile 6.5 Rom onto the device and attempted to install my screen reader without much success. (yes... I have no vision.)
Now, the device boots up, but is frozen at the windows mobile splash screen. I can't seem to find a way to reset the device without it loading Windows mobile completely. When I plug it into my laptop, USB is not recognized.
Does anyone know a key combination I could use to reset the Ozone (at boot)? I used to have a Q but Enter with the end key does not work anymore - and the user manuals only talk of using the "clear storage" option in system tools.
Any help is appreciated.
With all due respect-
Tomi

did u hardSPL ur device?
u gotta start there..sounds like you didnt tho. Theres another member whos in ur shoes at the moment, who himself didnt read the instructions.

yeah... I knew of hard spl, and it ran to 100%. But I guess it didn't install. in the end I had to go to verizon and they replaced the phone - however I will not be flashing another cooked rom until we get a signed stock ozone vzw rom.. Or generic.
I was told on another thread here that holding down the volume down key + send +end will put the device in reset mode, and that's true. However even that didn't help, my rom was prob gone.
-Tomi

You can do a Clear Storage from bootloader by turning off the device. While holding volume DOWN key and SEND key, power on the device. Follow the prompts.
If that doesn't do it, it's bricked.

hmm. there used to be a forum topic filled with stock roms (they still required hard spl) but I can't find it... Is it still up? the files were on mediafire.

Bricked by password utility
Maybe this deserves it's own thread but I may have found a way to brick an HTC Ozone by setting and removing the password.
I got the phone 4 days ago and after messing around with the installed applications and finding some of them lacking I looked at alternatives. First I installed a version of Keypass for WinMo6.1 smartphones (the beta version since the older version doesn't support smart phones) and the basic functionality seems to work fine. Then I then I tried to install Opera Mini but there appears to be no JVM on this phone so the install file was not recognized by Windows. Then I tried UCWEB and ended up uninstalling it after a few frustrating moments trying to get it to open any page other than the UCWEB home page. So I removed UCWEB and installed Skyfire. Unfortunately I didn't install the latest version and foolishly clicked on the update button when Skyfire started up. The update feature appears to be broken and it leaves you with a Skyfire that won't run and won't uninstall. After a few hours searching for solutions and trying various options I gave up and did a hard reset from the OS. This appeared to work fine and since it was late I went to bed. I should mention that all of the 3rd party apps were installed to a 2GB micro SD card and that I took the card and SIM out when I did the hard reset.
The next day when I powered up the phone I got a screen with colored bars, which I remember reading was a boot loader screen. The phone had appeared to reset properly the night before but I didn't do more than scroll through the home screen before powering it off with the end button. From the boot loader screen I had to pull the battery to shut down but when I powered it up again things seemed fine. I installed the Google maps application (highly recommended), downloaded and installed latest version of Skyfire and installed the Google search application and everything seemed to be fine. I decided that I should try out the password lock feature and set an eight character alphanumeric password with two special characters and two capital letters. I used it for the rest of the day to surf the web, send some texts and plot driving paths with Google maps. I found the password lock a bit annoying but never had a problem unlocking after the device went into standby or after I shut it down. That night I downloaded a couple of largish (150 MB or so) MP3 audiobooks from netlibrary.com but couldn't play them with the included Windows Media Player. Despite having MP3 extensions WMP wouldn't open them and clicking WMP from the start menu appeared to do nothing. Then I tried to re install Keypass and got an insufficient memory message. I deleted some photos and a short video I'd taken with the phone software and did a soft reset (power cycle) but no joy. Unable to play my MP3 files or install keypass and getting the occasional memory warning I decided a hard reset was in order but waited until the next day.
The next morning, after the phone had charged all night, I decided to remove the annoying password lock and then shut down and restarted the phone in order to verify that the problems I'd had the previous day still existed. I navigated to the Security settings and unchecked the box about password protection then powered off the phone. When it came on again it asked for a password. Annoyed, I hit the soft key under the "UNLOCK" notification and keyed in the password I thought I had just disabled and got a screen that said "Alert The password you typed is incorrect." I'd seen this a few times before since my thumbs are not optimally sized for the keyboard so I entered the password a few more times taking care to get it exactly right. It seems that my password has been removed but the requirement to enter a password has not. I tried a blank password but it won't take one it just reiterates the UNLOCK prompt. I have the password written down, it's also a variation of one I've used a lot in the past, and I'd used it successfully dozens of times the previous day so the likelihood of my having "forgotten" it is pretty low. I called Verizon and after they suggested entering a blank password I tried again and reported the failure. Their only suggestion was a visit to a Verizon store to "re flash" the phone which I assume means reload the ROM image.
I found the hard reset suggestion below and tried it. I assume the DOWN key is the bottom D-Pad key and the SEND key is the green bracket key with the microphone icon to the left of the D-Pad. I tried holding the DOWN and SEND keys and hitting the power key until the HTC logo came up and the phone buzzed briefly and I tried holding the keys down until the phone booted to the UNLOCK screen but nothing changed the boot sequence. So I guess my phone is bricked and I'm on my way to the Verizon store shortly to see what they can do. I also noticed that the phone occasionally emits beeps for no apparent reason at random times while entering the unlock password. Also, there is an Alert message behind the UNLOCK icon that says "Alert There is not enough free space to download message. Please free up some space". I wonder if in my efforts to download a few hundred megabytes of MP3 files (audio books) I managed to clog the memory and that I can't unlock the phone because there is a memory logjam of some sort. While downloading the MP3 files I did have to kill Internet Explorer from the task manager a couple of times as it seemed like the download had hung and I couldn't find the downloaded file anywhere on the storage card or in system memory. I haven't installed anything to system memory and with a 2GB card I don't think I've come anywhere close to filling it up. I had about 500 MB in files on the SD card at one point but I deleted the extra install files and some other stuff I'd downloaded. When I put the SD card in a USB reader hooked to the PC I see 378 MB of files with 1.46 GB of free space.
I'm pretty convinced that the OS is buggy (it is Windows after all) and that I need to avoid the password utility and downloading large files until I figure out what the safe combinations of activities are.
Assuming they can resurrect the phone or give me a new one I'll try to set and clear my password at the store and see if that reproduces the problem.
Meanwhile I'd be interested in any sort of hardware based hard reset procedure that works with the Ozone since holding the green SEND button and Down D-Pad key while powering up does not work in this situation. Perhaps the fact that I can't power down and I have to remove the battery to shut the thing off is a problem but I would expect a hardware reset to work no matter what the state of the software is, even if the memory system were full of garbage. I guess designers have gotten away from dedicated reset buttons but software based hard reset mechanisms seem doomed to failure of the sort I am experiencing.
I'll report back my experience at the Verizon store when I get back. I suspect they won't be able to do much other than give me a new phone since I can't get the Active Sync software to even talk to the phone in this state. Maybe they have a lower level software tool to unbrick me; we'll see.

Wow.
Sorry, I got bored halfway through your discertation. However, I did note a mistake that you made.
Hard Reset: A guide for long-winded users.
Step 1: Power down the phone. If your phone is already powered down, you may skip this step. Note: Removing the battery, while technically powering down the phone, is not the correct method to make the following steps work.
Step 2: With your left hand, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button that is located on the side of the phone. Continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN button and press the SEND button. With both the VOLUME DOWN and SEND button pressed, use your right hand to press the POWER button.
Step 3: A gray screen will appear asking you three options. Pressing the VOLUME UP button on the side of the phone will be the correct option to hard-reset your phone to ROM default.
Step 4: Press SEND to verify choice.
Step 5: Cuss loudly because you forgot to back up contacts, calendar, and email. (Optional: Crying like a little girl always makes things better.)
There you have it, a true hard-reset.
NOTE: The D-PAD is not Volume Control. Utilization of the D-Pad in this operation will result is user failure.

HTC Hard Reset from password lockout solved
I had managed to lock myself out of my phone by setting a password and then unchecking the password required box under the security settings and power cycling the phone when I got low memory alerts (see previous post).
I was able to hard reset my phone by removing then replacing the battery to power the phone down then holding the VOLUME DOWN button and SEND keys at the same time while pressing the power button to bring up a menu that allowed a hard reset. You can follow the menu prompts from there. If you power the phone down normally this still works but if you are locked out with a password you can't power down normally.
My lessons learned are:
1. To hard reset a password locked HTC Ozone hold VOLUME DOWN and SEND while powering up.
2. If you get a clueless Verizon rep call back later as they do have some helpful people in tech support
3. I've yet to find anyone helpful at any of the nearby stores so that avenue was a waste of time and gas.
I've written up a more detailed account of my saga that has some other useful phone numbers and resources should anyone have special problems with their HTC Ozone phones.
When I first had the password lockout I called Verizon and after after some basic efforts to trouble shoot they said go to the Verizon store for a re flash. At the Verizon store (Waldorf, MD) they said, after 15 minutes or so of waiting, that they couldn't do anything for me. Back home I called Verizon again (866-406-5154) and got someone who was much more helpful but still unable to fix things. It seems these phones are new enough that the Verizon techs don't know the tricks yet. They did provide a number (800-229-1235) for Personal Communications (http://www.pcdphones.com/formerly UT Star Com) but that number is only staffed from 8AM to 5:30PM M-F (not sure which time zone). However the voice message mentioned a hotline number (866-806-9990) which I called. This referred me back to the 800-229-1235 number for "unlock code" issues but I stayed on the line anyway and got someone who tried to help me out. At some point they mentioned holding the DOWN VOLUME button and SEND button while powering up the phone. They thought this would clear the memory but not the password setting. I tried it anyway and it worked.
While pressing both the Volume Down button and SEND button you need to hold the Power/END button in for a second or so until you see the following menu screen (the misspelled "resotre" is exactly how the menu appears):
Wiping user data/settings &
any user installed applications...
1. Press VolUp to restore
manufacturer default.
2. Press VolDown to resotre
custom configuration.
3. Press other keys to
cancel.​
At this point pressing the VolUp button gets you a screen that says:
Are you sure
you want to wipe your phone?
Press Send Key to confirm,
and any other key to cancel.​
Pressing the Send Key results in:
Restoring . . .
Wait for completed​where the second line is in red
After less than a minute you should see:
Restore completed
Press Volume Down to restart​
Pressing Volume Down restarts the phone.
First you see the HTC boot screen for about 40 seconds followed by the Verizon splash animation. Then the green Windows Mobile Version 6.1 boot screen comes up about for 90 seconds while the back light flashes on and off a few times. Finally, if you have a SIM card installed, a Change Mode window appears with the following message and OK above the left soft key:
SIM card detected. Your device will now
switch to Global mode.​
Pressing the left soft key brings up a Press SEND to activate your phone where SEND is actually an icon of the SEND button. Pressing SEND dials *228 and displays a GEAR icon and the text Programming in progress... . . ." while voice propmpts tell you "To program your phone press 1 . . . "
Pressing "1" plays some badly encoded music along with the text "Connected:" followed by a timer and "SPL unlocked" in red below it.
After a minute or so the screen displays "Programming was successful. Please Wait. Your phone is being reset."
Then, the phone restarts and comes up at the normal home screen displaying the time and date. From here you can restore or set up your applications and data.
So if you back up your data you can even recover from a lost password or a "friend" that locks your phone. I suspect there may be a way to unlock the password without wiping the phone by getting an unlock code keyed to the phone's serial number of DEC number (found under the battery). I didn't need this service as I just got the phone and hadn't put any data on it. If you back up the data and applications with Active Sync you should be safe but I haven't played with active sync much so I can't vouch for its stability and performance.
Hope this helps others with this phone. It's really nice when it works but it seems to have a few software pitfalls as well. Feel free to move this to an HTC Ozone forum should one be set up in the near future.

Hard Reset
hi,
i am tried to do the same but still my phone shows HTC logo screen
how i can fix the briced phone
i am in Qatar Middle east (out side of US)

Great Guide!
Thanks for posting this! My HTC Snap has a broken screen and I wanted to hard reset before I sold it. This was the only place I could find instructions with enough detail to do it without seeing what I was doing!

Sprite Terminator Locked my phone

Hi all,
I hope you can help me on this one...
I have tested the unlock fonction on my phone and I am not able to unlock it...
I got a ""UNLOCK received, Unable to Unlock. Device locked with Non-Terminator password" when I am seding the unlock command from my partner phone.
I posted this problem on the Sprite forum but nothing yet.
Please can you help, as my phone is locked, I am really stuck... and I don't have time to flash a new ROM now...
UPDATE
After 24h I had not support from Sprite regarding my problem.
If I had to review Sprite Terminator I say it is really crap and install it at your own risk... I am an advanced user and I have done anything wrong player this app.
I will never spend 15 bucks on a under developpment software with no support...
My final word is: Terminator is really a good name for a software that will terminate your phone forever
I am on my way to hard reset my phone, voilà... next time I will reconsider installing a Sprite software...
Moderators you may now close this thread please

Well I guess it is a little late to tell you this...
Go on - get ready to slap your forehead and then say the magic IT word... "Doh! (three times)
To perform a hard reset
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see this message on the screen.
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3
. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset
Yup - it works a treat... I used it on my Sprite wiped and locked HD2
Sorry - I do feel smug - I got terrified when I could not un-nuke mine... then I RTFM'd the prob.
(all in good humour)

The same thing just happened to me.
Try this. Enter your sprite password to unlock the phone.
Then go to Start/Settings/Security/Phone Lock
Untick Prompt if phone unused for. This should clear the screen lock.
Sprite activates this and sets the time window to 0 minutes.
It's a good idea to set your phone password to the same one as Sprite Terminator password at this point, just incase you need to lock/unlock it again.
Sprite. You may want to update your instructions to cover this issue rather than annoying
fee paying customers.

Stupid Problem with P3452

Hi all
first post and i got an interesting problem with my phone which i qualify as stupid. It all started when when my virtually keyborad started becoming unresponsive and when i tried to do a factory reset, i could not enter the 1234 number to start it. i left the phone for a while and then i could not get into the setting even . But i could receive calls but i could not call since i could not access any numbers on the dial pad( by pressing on the numbers of coruse but from dial log screen i could)
Anyway long story short while fiddling with the phone , i thought the lock feature was on that is why some of the touch functions was not totally responsive but to my sadness, i activated the lock and now the phone is stuck on the front page and i cannot access anything since i must press unlock at the far corner of the down screen but stupidly, while pressing on the unlock, since it is unresponsive, i cannot unlock the phone to get to the normal menu and so on.The only thing working is the square pad which tells me to press cancel then unlock to free the phone for normal use
By the way the lock feature is the one that blocks the phone so that you do not accidentally press on the touch screen and activate a program and not the lock thing operators put to limit your phone
I want to know if anyone can help me unlock the screen so that i can reset the phone or alternatively any other method via usb to reset my phone to factory settings. Any special buttons on the phone i can do to do that?
I tired leaving battery out for 24 hours but that did not work to unfreeze the touch buttons
Was thinking to reload the windows mobile completely via the micro card (which i read here) but i am not sure it will work or i fear it might brick my phone
Any suggestions will be welcome please.... thanks

Use myMobiler to control device from Pc through usb
Good luck
Ps: you'll probably have to change digitiser afterwards

Well tried the mobiler but the thing is that it asks the phone to allow the program to conenct and i cannot press yes on the touch screen since it is frozen or something so i am stuck again.

Very strange, it doesn't ask anything on my device...
Why don't you hard reset: press green and red buttons and while pressing, poke the stylus shortly in the reset hole then release the 2 buttons. It will ask something that you probably won't see, just press the action button and wait for it to restart.

Don't flash another on just yet - it may well cause issues as it sounds like your digitizer is broken. Don't hard reset either
Does it pick up anything at all? Have you tried tapping all over the place in that region to try and get a response, sometimes just under the screen also works. Do you use a screen protector? If not, try it with one, if yes, try it without, it may be interferring with it, or it may help the touch be picked up by the phone (Stupid, I know, but this is something I found to work before with my elfs, and omnias)
When it is locked, is activesync picking the phone up? You may be able to put the remote.exe into the windows folder (for myMobilier) and do it that way.
A digitizer costs about £6-£10. But due to the age of this device, as sad as it is, I would suggest trying a new phone out if funds allow for it.

ok so far i tried the hard reset (red button and green and pressed the on off button but nothing. When i press on off button alone it switches off but not hard reset. I did not know i had a reset hole at the bottom of the phone.I did that with red and green button but nothing. Only when i poke the hole alone it does a hard reset i think but when i switches back on it is still unresponsive and locked screen
I tried poking under screen protector nothing. Also i think screen is still responsive because when i tap on it, the screen lights brighter
I tired putting remote exe file on the phone( active sync is working and i can read files on the phone) but i have two remote files..which one to use ? the one that ends with 40 one or 50 .Also where to put it specifically..which folder.I tried my windows mobile based device but nothing.Also tried program files and data application nothing.
Mobiler cannot connect since from pc alone because it asks my phone permission
and i cannot tap yes to accept program.
so any more suggestions please

Hi
Maybe I wasn't clear enough, here's the exact procedure, it should work since you have to use only hardware buttons:
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
If Hard reset doesn't work then your device hardware is faulty.

If he hard resets he will liekly not be able to align the screen on initial setup tito12.
Avanisha. If you try to run one of the remote.exe it will say this is not a valid windows application, thats the one that needs to go into windows on your phone.

Hi captainstu72, i was under the impression that he messed up something in his system so a hard reset would hopefully solve the problem. In case he still can't align the screen after HR then he has to replace the digitiser. Mymobiler will not solve anything, pls read the 1st post: he wanted to do a factory reset. He just have to sync before HR.

thks tito 12..problem was solved with your help.J ust did not get the steps of hard reset right. Phone is working ok now and screen is ok as well as tap function. thank god i don't need a digitizer. thanks to captainstu72 for the help as well .You were right tito..seems i ran a program and then all hell broke on my phone. I wanted to factory reset but as you know the pad was locked.

Glad I could help, enjoy your device

Ahh okay, guess i mis read something! Sorry
Glad its all sorted though, I was just concerned he may end up in an annoying align screen loop
