Yhea! i'm here for the second time asking something about the digitizer. Now the problem is:
I've the digitizer disconnected and i've experienced (last time) that part of the front buttons don't work. Not important.. they're well replicated except for the red phone but it's another problem. I've jet ordered and payed a new digitizer and i'm waiting for it. The real problem is that now i can't use my phone because ita was going all well (without buttons) but modifying the start plugin by the schap's registry editor my vpa freeze on the splash screen. I've made a hard-reset and (as indicated somewhere) with the pone stopped on the screen "tap enywhere to start your wm bla bla bla" i've connected it via usb and deleted the link "c:\windows\autostart\welcome.ink" or something similar. I've bypassed the welcome procedure but now after boot my wm freeze with a strange screen situation.. i can see the top bar but the rest of the screen is occuped by the splash screen.. like it'is without screen refresh.
Is it possible that the welcome.exe adding useful information to registry that let the phone working well? May I insert them by hand with an editor launched on my pc with the pda connected? or my tytn is definitively gone?
The phone does not respond to any button except the power button (for standby and power off with the message window fully represented) and the button on the left that (if hold) start the recording note software as shap's default.
Tell me what you think and thank you!

Hi,
actually I'm searching a method to activate (wake-up) my htc Universal simply opening the screen. Usually it goes off after some minutes and when I re-open the screen I need to push the power button... I would like it goes on simply opening the screen.
Now I use a trick: I disabled in "Energy" (Power) the item "shutdown after X minutes". So my device is always on and the scrren goes off simply closing it. This method is ok because when I re-open the screen again, the entire device is immediatly ready! But there is a problem: doing it the device is always ON so it spend battery a little bit more than usual!
I know there is a magnetic switch controlling the opening screen; I wonder if someone has found how to use it to control power up of the entire device (like the power button does)... It will be very interesting and usefull if the Universal goes ON immediatly simply opening the screen! There must be a method to associate the screen magnetic switch with the Power-ON function (like power pushbutton does).
What do you think about?
Thank you

Echo your thoughts...
I have been thinking about it myself for a few days now.... having upgraded from the Nokia9500, it would be great if the device detected that it is open and turns itself on!
cheers! mayank
Yaaaaaaaaa
that will be awesome ,
if that happens finaly i will be able to partially use my jasjar with one hand
but now i must flip the screen then with another hand push tha power button
and it's NOT comfortable ...
Please any help and thnx
have a Gooooooooood day
Great Idea
Just came accross this while searching.
Would be very useful if someone found a "patch" for this.
Could be as simple as a key in the registry.
I'll check
Hi all,
Like many people's, my Hermes (T-Mobile Vario II) suffers from screen misalignment issue, and needs re-aligning almost daily. I've done all the mods but to no avail. It is out of warranty so I can't send it back.
Recently, when I try to align the screen (by pressing Confirm button + Message button, or by going to Settings > System > Screen), it just hangs in the "Align Screen" screen - it does not respond when I tap on the target cross.
Only a soft reset can take me out of the screen.
I am using Schap's January 2008 version.
Any idea why please?
But screen now is misaligned really badly and I can't re-align it...
Thanks.
EDIT:
But it doesn't happen every time. Very occasionally it would work...

Answer is easy... Schaps roms have "Ftouchflo" installed. It is nearly sure it is activated on your phone. In this case, the alignment utility is NOT usable. And the pda can stay with a non reactive touch screen till next reset.
Desactivate touchflo by using the touchflo configuration tool followed by a soft reset. So you will be able to use screen alignment.
Just tried and yes! Thats it!
Thanks a lot matey!
You are welcome
Perhaps this should have it's own thread but it is very similar.
My tytn (WM6) has suddenly developed a strange problem. When I go to align the screen, the crosses appear as normal and when I point to them, it appears to be working. Except... After pointing to the last cross, the whole thing starts again, and this happens continuously!
This started when I applied a screen protector and tried to align the screen through it. It was working fine before then. I have taken the screen protector off again, but there is no change.
As I've spent the whole day installing cab files and getting it as I like it, syncing etc. too, I really don't want to have to hard reset it again.
Any other ideas?
That usually means more than 1 point is touching the screen.
That's what I thought but I've cleaned the screen and done the business card trick all round the edges. I can't see where it could be touching...
Any other ideas or suggestions that may help?
I couldn't find a touchflo "disable" button anywhere on my Hermes, but I did go into "Remove Programs" and uninstalled the HTC Cube application, then did a stylus soft reset, then aligned the screen with no problem.
Hi there!
I have absolutely ridiculous problem with my THD. All of a sudden screen started to act like it is half disabled. In simple words, if a touch some icon on top bar, let's say Start button, click appears on clock. Basically it is looks like touch area displaced by half an inch down. I've tried to calibrate screeen and it seems like it worked for a few minutes and then turns back. I had to hard reset the whole thing and it did not help either. All images, icons, screen items appeared correctly on screen. Bottom menu bar responses correctly though.
I did not drop the phone if it will give a clue.
Anyone knows what the hell is that and how to fix that problem? Please help.
Thank you.
Anyone? Please...
sounds like you need to re align your touch screen. you need to go to Start>Settings>System>Screen then align screen
If you cant get to this then a Hard Reset might be the only way to go
Nothing is working. Now I cannot even get past screen alignment. Looks like it can be a hardware problem.
u may have to hard reset
then after that if it still wont work then u may need a replacement
Yeah. It sound like it is. Jast called HTC support, did hard reset again and after few minutes it is back to that misalignment. Damn...
Connected to ActiveSync and have you got 'My Mobiler' running? I noticed some strange screen behaviour with that on the Device and the host PC.
try pressing both volume keys and tapping the screen at the same time(volup + voldown + tap the screen) --- it will get you to align screen mode if that doesnt work then maybe you have some problems while flashing a rom or something!

I am having the same problem, it started suddenly somedays ago. I realized that when I hard rest it works fine for some time and then slowly left side of the screen stops responding, after a while only right side react to touch so you cannot access START menu nor anything else from the whole screen, just the left corners.Any solution?
how to lock all buttons exept the power button in wm6.5 ?
In wm6.1 it was possible to change that in settings/keys menu. But in wm6.5 this is gone for some stupid reason!
I dont want to use ext. app like pocketshield for such a basic and simple feature.
Reason: when phone is screenlocked - any hardwarekey wake up phone from standby. And of course the screen pops up and drain battery. HD2 keys are recessed and in the pocked can easyly accidentialy get pressed. When screen weaks up for some reasons (incoming call or other notification event) the buttons are not locked and i dont need to describe what funny things can happen then (just imagine on your own). Even accidentialy changes to my settings happened in my pocket without recognising.
HTC: this is ridiculous.
Pls help. Is there maybe a easy reghack to activate this basic feature again, like it was implemented in previous Rom versions?
the button lock in WM6.5 is the same as WM6.1 (got X1 before)
but in HD2 it's different.. and I don't think anyone solved this problem yet...
No known solution indeed, apart from using S2U2, and if you want to save more battery adding proximitylock.
what if you locked the keys while you are making a call with bluetooth and you want to look in your phone? You'd have to press the "end call/power" button..
Also since the power button turns the screen off, I automaticly press the same button to turn the screen on when I'm not making a call.. I can't count the times I've ended a call by accident like this.. another great design flaw of this phone
I still hope someone will find a solution for a working hardwarebuttonlock
no one found a solution yet?
i'm having the same problem and strangely i am irritating myself to death on this,
Not a good job HTC!
Hi! I have a massive problem atm that I'm hoping to get your guys help on. My screen on my HD2 WP7 device is caput...not responding at all to any touch input. I know that this had nothing to do with the ROM (PDAimatejam Rom v8) but more the hardware itself (I believe that this is a common problem with old HD2's - ie. diffuser goes or something). Right now the only thing I can do is accept or reject an incoming call. I don't mind resetting the device but there are 2 SMS text messages that I desperately need to read.
Is there any way to access these via my computer using USB->microUSB, or if there is a utility that I can flash to it to allow me to access the device interface? If so, it will have to be something that I can flash as I cannot access the device interface at all.
Hopefully I can resolve this soon with your advice/help! Thank you in advance!
you can try but only if you have SMSBackup installed on phone
restart phone (screen must be not locked) to show main screen with tiles
connect to Zune
install SMSBackup to phone (if not installed) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448197
install wf Phone Tools to PC (if not installed) http://wpmanagertool.codeplex.com/
run wf Phone Tools, connect to device (Zune must be run and screen unlocked), select "extract sms from device"
Thanks for the reply dxdy. I'm downloading wfPhoneTools now. ClickOnce installer ran but application doesn't open. In any case, I'm unsure if this work....if I reboot my phone I won't even be able to get to the main tiles interface. I can bypass the "Enter PIN" screen by pressing 'Back' on my device, but that will take me back to the lockscreen, and device is not registering any touch input for me to even slide up to unlock. Advice please?
screen not responding? try pressing the call and power button alternating quickly and simultaneously. This works coz sometimes the digitizer is located at the bottom of the power button and gets stuck at times from pressure (like putting it in a tight pocket) and the green button puts counter pressure on the opposite side so relieve the pressure

Hi drmodify. Tried that as well but to no avail. I followed some advice I read up somewhere on XDA to press down hard just above the power button, in a way to kind of 're-seat' the digitizer (lol, I called it a diffuser in my op!). That actually did the trick, albeit temporarily. But managed to get my SMSs off the phone. Thanks anyway for the input!
