And im assuming because of the crack is why I cant align the screen, because I'll try to do it and what happens is it will go through the alignment process over and over (never tried more then 6 times).
Is there some way I can get around this? My main phone (BB Pearl) was smashed into pieces after loseing it off the top of a car.
Thans for the help!
PS. Its a Wiza200 if that matters
It is not clear if your touch screen works fine. If it does, then there is no need to do screen alignment. If for some reason the screen is not aligned, you can force feed the calibration data by setting the HKLM\Hardware\Keymap\CalibrationData registry variable.

I dropped my phone and the screen now doesnt respond properly: The hardware DID successfully upgrade to the XDA ROM. But touching it causes the backlight to go on, - but most of the keys dont do what one would expect them to do: The phone turns on with a reminder from the calendar on the screen which wont DISMISS or CLOSE. Pressing on the windows logo and then on the phone key causes the calendar to come up and I am not sure which numbers are entered when I do manage to get the phone to come onto the screen (none of the right hand numbers seem to work at all). Does anyone recognise these symptoms and/or could they just show that my SX-56 needs the ROM RE-flashing? I should add that pressing the Master Reset button with this ROM in place seems to make the phone shut off and then when you restart it, all of the data remains in place. I wonder if there is any possibility that the XDA ROM has prevented the reset button from working normally?
A user on another forum said that to him, '"Sounds like the digitiser is up the swanee - have you tried recalibrating it?"
10-12 vertical black lines started appearing to the right hand edge of the screen. Sometimes they are there, sometimes not. THere is usually at last one there somewhere. At about that time the screen stopped responding as I mention. Today the left third started displaying the same veritcal lines, though spaced quite far apart (about a millimetre). Screen doesn't APPEAR cracked: Does this sound like a digitiser and if so, how do you recalibrate it please or is there a link to somewhere on the XDA site which I cant find which might tell me? Or could it be the cable is loose in the circuit board? As you touch the lower right hand corner of the metal casing where the vertical lines are, those lines flash (the right 10 or 12) on and off. And every coloured bar everywhere on the screen or word of text has vertical lines on it (the white parts don't)??
Someone on ebay has said that his phone "fell from my pocket and onto the carpet and the screen cracked, I then used it for about a week" "I sold the screen to someone cause the wanted the touch pad part of the screen for there phone". and wonder what it was he sold or which part can be replaced on it? IS there a touch part and a screen part on this phone?
To be honest, itsounds like you have brocken a connection somewhere between the LCD and the gfx output, probably not possible to repair yourself.
I wonder where the break would be?
I thought that might be the case: I wonder if it would be worthwhile trying to get another screen?
I should probably try to take the unit apart and see if some break somewhere can be identified if it is a break as opposed to some electonic part having failed. It SEEMS to be in the lower right hand corner?
Hi mates yesterday i bought a used herm...with excellent condition. but when i opened any dialog. the window closed automatically. and the screen light remains always on. and touch is creating problems.
and after some time the touch screen totally stop working. i dont know what happened. al the buttons are working fine. i upgraded my t-mobile herm to its original t-mobile wm6 rom. and again the touch screen is not working. and the screen light always stay on..
so is this hardware or software problem.?
guide me if you have any clue about this..
according to my thinking.. i think some button is pressed continuesly.. but everything is working fine.. only the touch is not working.
broken digitizer for the touch screen, buy a replacement lcd/digitizer together and replace yourself, about $100Aud. Use Mike Channons site to download the service manual. Use the search function and type in "htc service manual hermes".
As for the light, you will have to use your buttons to navigate to settings>system>backlight>battery power and external power. you can select how long the backlight remains on for.
Cheers...
Hi mate thanks for your reply.. Actually the situation is that. the screen is working perfectly. all buttons are also working perfectly. but suddenly the touch feature stopped working.
that time i was just opening some menus and they closed automatically. it looks like that there is some button pressed. and the screen light never stops. it continuously remains on. all buttons are working perfectly and everything. on the touch feature is not working.
i upgraded my device with genuine shipped t-mobile wm6 rom and again it stopped at the starting screen where i have to click the screen and the device brings the window for stylus adjustment.
so i wanna ask that is this also possible that some touch drivers are corrupted or something like this.? or is this a hardware failure.?
Kind Regards
I had same problem, it was hardware. Thats why I said to change the lcd. It is theoretically possible to replace JUST the digitizer, BUT, it is a MAJOR hassle.
As for getting past the alignment stage, look up Remote Screen Alignment. Its a cab file that stores the alignment settings on your pc. You WILL have to have a friend that has the same phone so you can get their settings as you need to copy them to your pc first. You can then copy the settings to your phone so you can use it until you replace that pesky lcd...
Cheers.....
I had a similar problem with my hermes. After a lot of investigating, I found out that this is a heat related issue with the hermes. The unit will heat up an some connection somwhere gets messed up and continually registers ghost taps on the upper right corner of the screen, which causes the continual opening and closing of programs/task manager. This overloads the phone which then causes the screen to eventually become unresponsive due to excessive computing.
With my phone, it must be heat related because it will only occur during or after heavy use or overcharging. Other people have had this exact problem with the conclusion being overheating. The worse part is, there is apparently no way to fix this, replacing the screen doesn't change anything. setting your screen alignment very far left will fix the problem but then everything you tap needs to be compensated for.
Good luck, hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but it's better to know whats wrong and that you can't fix it then not know whats wrong and keep trying to fix it.
same problem here... only my hermes is overheating already after 5 minutes use...
in the morning it works and when i put it in front of the airconditioning the touchscreen also works...
somebody who has an idea where to look for a solution??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Some of the suggestions in the white screen thread/s might help. The problem is that those who have the heat related problem will find it very difficult to trace the actual fault. The heat may be causing miniscule expansions on the boards / components and connectors. The tiniest of cracks or poor connections can therefore break with the expansion.
Another theory is that rather than heat it might be a capacitor that is breaking down either over time or again through heating. Unless you are a skilled electronic engineer that is virtually impossible to check, particularly since schematics are not available.
You might just be lucky if you dismantled and re-assembled - it might just re-set a connector or adjust a board so it does not get affected in future. That would be very much a matter of luck and of course potentially the situation might be made worse!

Hi mates. I am back with some issue.. i moved my device to a repair center and he said that its a software issue. and he fixed my device without changing any rom.. i dont know how..
but again when i open some window like programs. the right scrollbar make a problem... when i move scrollbar it automatically press the top close button..i aligned my screen 3 times but same problem with right side scroll bar.
and after playing with it. the touch totally stopped.
now the thing is.all the buttons are working fine and everything is working fine. even sms and calls. but when i check sms and press my scroller button. it displays the right click menu instead of opening the sms. and the screen light is continuesly on. as something is pressed. so. i think this thing wil help. i am now trying this method to check my pc.

check this out as well.
i will send you details soon.
might just have something lodged between the case and screen.. also to get rid of the screen alignment, cable it up and delete welcome from the startup programs and then reset it.. should get you past it so at least you can use it until you repair your screen
Hi to u all
i have a major problem with the screen alignment
there was a small damage on the foil thats on the screen of the tytn
Now i have flasht a new rom image and got stuck on the screen alignment
i can press the small X and it will move and starts over and over again
is there a way to bypass the screen alignment
Hope there is someone who has a solution
You need a cab install called remote screen alignment. You also need another Hermes to get the alignment settings off.
''remote Screen Alignment gets the alignment settings and stores it on your pc. If for some reason you require them to be re-entered but can't do so manually it can fix this. It was originally intended for people with poor eyesight or other problems who had trouble hitting all 5 points on the calibration. Its a freeware cab.
Hope this helps...
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)
Hi guys,
I am having screen protector drama: I am trying to remove a non silicon screen protector (and I know its on there. good at that!) but I can't remove it.
I've tried scotch tape, duct tape, mach 3 razer blades...trying to lift up that corner.
I have to remove this thing because it is what I am suspecting is messing with my Proximity Sensor, and causing the screen to blank when making calls. Also, Z-DeviceTest reports my Proximity is 0.00000 cm , when the screen is just on normally.
*i might try the hex edit trick to turn off the sensor after this, if I fail. Although that would suck kind of, because then my head will press buttons during calls..AND, hex editing the appropriate file with androids hex edit, didn't help me find the string, the last time i tried.
That being said, I'm using a pin and a flash light, and want to know if i am pulling at something inherent to the phone or not.
On your Nexus one, is there a black rubbery ring around the screen, between the edge of the screen and the grey. Is it like 1mm thick? (everytime I pin and pull up, i tear this string like rubber grommet, and i'm wondering if its the screen protector excess that oversits the screen, or something the nexus one has around its blank screen?
Please help.
ThankS!
I do see a thin black ring between the screen and the metal.
If you're really sure there's a screen protector on there, maybe try a tiny dot of superglue on some tape to increase the sticking power?
Aww, thank you sir.
I guess I've been tearing up my phone then.
I will try the super glue, but what should I stick onto it? <string?>
ive never had a screen protector that stuck on are you sure there is even one on there? those things peel right off
Hrmmm....
Well its a Clarivue... these things look like glass.....
Well, I used the solution described here, with the hex editing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985223
Altering sensors.mahimahi.so solved the phone screen going blank issue, but auto rotate stopped working.
Replaced the file with original, rebooted, and for some reason, still couldnt auto rotate.
Now doing a Nandroid restore. Hoping it auto rotates again.
This screen off issue during call seems like a GB issue. Restoring an earlier CM7 backup, and hoping to find an alternate dialing app...
Found a fix. somewhat
(The nandroid backup restored auto rotation incidentally)
You go into the dialer, and change preferences to disable Haptic feedback.
The screen still may go blank on dialing, but easily awakes now by either pressing the power button or trackball. No one button seems to do it consistently, but its one of those two consistently now.
Thanks for your help guys. Minor pin damage
Still no fix for the Proxmity Sensor GB/CM7 bug.
Any suggestions? I tried Screen Suite as recommended in another thread. No go.
