Hello,
I recently installed Black Satin (Normal) on my IMate JasJam (Herm100). Everything went fine and when the system rebooted it asked me to align my screen which I did. After that I went ahead and installed Slither's Cube Version and Pimp_My_Black softwares. Now the align screen has stopped working. Its been over a week and now my phone is totally out of alignment. Whenever i click on Align Screen the phone goes to the align window and then freezes. Then i have to press the power button and when i put on the phone again, the window comes back to the Start/Settings/Screen Window. Please help me out
Regards,
UPDATE :
Resolved the problem. Seems like touchflo was the culprit. When i uninstalled it, the align screen has started working again. Too Bad, I loved the cube. Hope you guys can work something out and thanks for the WM6.
If you read the various threads on this the answer is clear; you can disable touchflo, then align your screen, then re-enable touchflo.
Happy reading.

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.
The touch screen on a friend of mine's MDA stopped working in the middle and had lost it's alignment making the device hard to use. So I picked up an oem LCD assembly and replaced it. Now no matter how many times I try to align the screen it just keeps cycling. It responds to the taps and goes full cycle but just goes back to the begining. I have search everwhere to find a solution. I have done it in portrait and landscape I have hard reset it and upgraded the rom but still have the same problem. Any Ideas?
Did you try the way yet where you must put a dummy file named welcome.??? (cant recall the extension) in the root of youre phone?
EDIT: make a textfile and make sure extensions are visible and renamle the WHOLE name (including .txt) to welcome.not in the root of youre phone, then restart it and normally voila
I was able to get past the alignment screen but am unable to align it. It just keeps cycling as I press the markers. The touch screen is way out of alignment.
i d that before and i did a hard reset.
in my rom came de alignment after a soft reset so deleted it with startup manager
I was able to get past the screen by deleting the welcome.lnk with pocket controller. My beggest problem is that I can't calibrate the screen in order to make the touch screen usable. I do not know what the problem is. The screen responds when I touch the marker and goes through the cycle but never stops. I have tried going through it as much as 30 times portrait and landscape and it will not accept the alignment.
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?
My Imagio used to become screen-locked when the screen went dark due to several minutes of inactivity. It suddenly stopped doing this and I can't figure out how to bring this back. How do I set it to lock (require slider slide before accepting screen presses) automatically after it sleeps?

I discovered today that if you align your screen the screen lock will work again.
Press the volume(up and down) and touch the screen all at the same time. Complete the alignment procedure. This fixed the problem for me.

amazing - that did it!!! thanks!
Amazing! Thanks!!
As many of us have noticed the screen lock on out Imagio's seems to just stop working. I have had this problem over the last week. I just answered a question in another thread about the screen alignment and how it is randomly activated when the phone is removed from a holster or pocket. In the process I activated the screen alignment, did the alignment procedure and now I see my screen lock is working again! If your screen lock isnt working try aligning your screen and let us know if it corrected the screen lock.
Activate the screen alignment by holding the volume button(up and down) and touch the screen.
Good luck.
Good call Bboyle, I did as you stated and ran the screen alignment and the auto lock started working again. Thanks!
thanks you very much! I had this problem a couple months ago and ended up doing a hard reset and had to reconfigure everything. It worked fine until today the lock randomly stopped working again. Just aligned the screen and now it's back.
Aha! I always wondered how the hell my phone would be on alignment when it was locked and in my pocket.
I didn't know that button combo entered align mode. Obviously it does it even when the screen is locked.
I've never had my phone NOT lock the scree tho.
I got curious when I kept pulling my phone from a holster only to find the alignment utility active. It was very annoying when I needed to make a call but had to align first. So I figured out how I was causing the problem. Discovering the association to the lock was accidental.
