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.

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!

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,
My screen is starting to become bad in term of its sensitivity. Worst that it can't detect any tap at all right in the middle of the screen where you usually the + sign for the screen alignment.
I'm forced to do screen alignment with my thumb for all the + signs and now it's really hard to type as the screen alignment is quite messed up.
I tried to use mymobiler to do the screen alignment but it won't detect the mouse click for alignment *Sigh*
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
By me to. My Touch-Screen was damage. I send the prophet back to factory.
screen
find a repair center or order a new screen. you can find it on ebay. its not difficult to change
After a busted screen I replaced the LCD and Digitizer. After that I didn't make any changes to the software (ROM, nor settings) of the HTC.
LCD works fine, but my screen alignment is bad. On almost all items I have to thick on one item beneath it to get it, also some items are not reachable due to this problem.
I managed to start the alignment proces with the use of the Remote Alignment tool, alle goes well but the upper two crosses. The digitizer simply doesn't respond to these and after al while starts over again.
Is it normal that you have to align your screen after a digitizer replacement?
Will it help to hard reset my HTC? (I'm using a hacked ROM, last one from Dutty WM6.5, so it doesn't start automatically with the alignmentproces)
When the upper crosses don't respond in the alignment proces, does this mean the Digitizer isn't ok?
I found a thread about Remote Screen Alignment on this board (/showthread.php?t=355010). Will this help for me? The phone is almost unusable so installing / using PHM Registry Editor will be almost impossible.
Lot of questions, hoping for some answers

Please guys, I'm missing my beloved HD
I am sorry to disturb you all but i have a problem and i searched and read a lot of posts in vain.
the problem i am facing with my HD2 is that when i edit the screen alignment option in settings, i get the alignment option for stylus and not for finger touch.
Now i performed hard reset 4 times and i still get the same thing (the cross mark i should tap with the stylus)
Would you or could you please check what is the problem?
I am running a default 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE rom
Thank you
Thats all your ever going to get......
its the default winmo screen alignment utility....
If youve hard reset your screen should be aligned, why do you need to alter it?
what i really want is the finger touch alignment screen you know the blinking circle cause the one i have is for stylus
Im not sure which one you mean.
Ive only ever seen the stylus based one.
Sorry.
