Hi I I have a small problem with my Vario II with Ebay I have bought at an auction has exchanged with the Seller because he meant the touchscreen is broken, well, besides, I imagined nothing one can still use it, However, now I wanted this gets put back this everything goes though, however, as Windows me asks the touchscreen to aim I can make nothing the touchscreen is broken is there any alternative?
MY einglisch is not so good
YES but ive found a new Touchscreen,but it takes time after the paket will be here i want also se the MDA
Mike, I think Dracon775 means "use"...
You need to find a program called Remote Screen Alignment (you can find it if you google it - its freeware). It can fix this BUT you will also need a friend who has the same phone to get the alignment settings as this program stores them on he pc.
It was intended for people who can't, for medical reasons, hit the 5 alignment points so they can have these great devices also.
Cheers...

I brought CHT9000 at July 2006 and O2 Trion at August 2006. Both have disalignment problem. At first I thought it is ROM problem and happened for certain model and S/N only.
I try 4 ROMs : I-Mate, Dopod ENG ROM, TyTN and New CHT (Taiwan) ROM.
I installed these ROMs and without installed 3rd parties software. Also I proceed all necessory method to prevent this problem happen such as set a false exchange server for activesync and unclick USB to PC (Check my post).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58633
However, all of them have this fuxking disalignment problem. :twisted:
It is hardware problem and I have 2 possible methods to produce this disalignment happen to your TyTN:
1. Body Heat. i.e. Charging, Surf internet and Long talk.
2. Apply very little pressure on LCD. i.e. Cleaning your LCD Panel.
You will find this fxcking disalignment happen again. If you encounter this problem, don't realign the screen manually. Wait few mintues and you will found that it will re-align again. Now you can re-align the screen manually this time.
I already sold my device and not recommend anyone to buy it. It seems that HTC cannot solve this problem and perhaps they don't know the causes.
If you want to buy it, please wait. :wink:
If you brought it, good luck and godspeed.
i have sent mine back because of it
This is the HTC official answer to my request:
Good Afternoon,
There are now procedures in place for fixing the screen alignment issue with the TyTN devices. This is a hardware issue that we have identified and we are offering a replacement to owners of affected devices with two conditions.
1: The device must be returned with all accompanying accessories.
Everything that was in the box when you bought the device must be in the box when you return it.
2: The device must be a Genuine HTC Badged device. This means that the device cannot be a Vodafone v1605, an O2 XDA Trion, a T-Mobile Vario II or any other device based on the TyTN, but that is not actually a TyTN. For these devices, you must contact the Network/Reseller for further advice on this issue.
If you meet these two provisions, you may contact your nearest repair centre to arrange the swap. Please place everything back into the original box and arrange to have the device picked up. It will then be tested to confirm that it has the problem, and then it will be swapped for a replacement unit.
If you are unable to return everything, you will be eligible for a repair under the warranty. For this also, you can contact your nearest repair centre to arrange this.
:roll:
Cheers
Mine goes back Tuesday hopefully the replacement unit will not have the same issue.
There are people who fixed their issue by ROM Upgrade. There are people who just bought their Hermes got this problem. Some has SN HT63XXX. There also some people who been swap their units, and the issue came back.
Well, as I see it, HTC does not know how to fix this issue 100% since it is also happening on some Dopod 838, 8125 (models with sliding keyboard).
I will upgrade my Trion this weekend, and if this issue persists... I will sell this baby and reactivate my trusty Universal.
:lol:
A colleague was able to fix the problem by untightening the two screws on the back of the display and retightening them (not quite as tight as before). His device works without screen alignment problems ever since.
It seems that the screws are too tight which causes tension on the LCD resulting in screen alignment problems.
Magnet Theory
A friend of mine with CHT Dopod 9000, did this and fix his alignment issue.
"When Slide the keyboard, there's a magnet that activates the landscape mode. It's in the back of the screen when you slide it. ( I tried to put it near a magnet and the lanscape activates!)
Then I put a tape at the back of the small protruding (hunchback) just enough to be able to slide it close. This will decrease the magnetism receive from the main body when is close. Then for a week, it's good than before that I need to align 5x a day."
I know this true, since I met him and check his device. I even tried to massage his display, or run it hot.
I will try it myself... let u posted...
The problem only started for me after I installed a screen protector (Martin Fields, an excellent choice!), and since then I've had to re-align the screen every day. This morning I tried the screw trick, so I'll report back if it works for me.
Also I should point out that I have an MDA Vario II, so it looks like those of us who waited are no better off.
The next problem I have to deal with is an unresponsive 'C' key on my keyboard... :wink:
alignment issue is SW or HW or Both...
But unresponsive key(s) is really a HW, my first one has the "L" and backspace.. and it always like that, try to press it fast and it will not register all unlike the rest.
goodluck to all of us!!
:wink:
Anyone that has sent their TyTN back in for repair/replacement for the screen crapalignment, please report back when you get your TyTN back. I want to know if it's worth making the effort to get mine replaced, seeing as I live in Australia and I don't exactly have HTC repair centres, mainly on account of that they don't sell this here. BUT if it's worth getting it repaired/replaced, i'll try to make arrangements with my ebay seller and/or some overseas repairing people.
Cheers guys,
~Louis x_.

really ? I will try. Thanks
Tried, fermin's method seems to work！Thanks！
Aaaaghh. I am on a trip overseas and the backlight of the LCD screen on my Dopod 838 Pro just went out. Under a bright light I can make out the screen changing as things happen, but it kind of makes it hard to read (impossible!!). Luckily TomTom kept talking to me, although not as good without the picture of the map to follow!!
Anyone heard of this before? Have read of a few "white screens", but this seems different to other posts.
Would appreciate any tips on fixing or replacing the screen. I plan to try to pull the machine apart and make sure a connector hasn't come loose when I get home, but am hoping I am not up for a new machine just yet.
Although this may be an excuse to upgrade to the Touch HD when it available in Australia!!
Thanks in advance.
3 things
try 1st
make sure your brightness is turned up, settings/system/backlight
try 2nd
backup device, hard reset, see if this works. ( the backlight should not be a software issue, but it is possible)
try 3rd (although I would try this 2nd if you can, because if this works will not lose your personal data like you will in step 2)
take apart and check the flex, (common cause of this problem)
Thanks, time to find my torx screwdrivers!!
Have been playing with as many settings as I could see with a bright torch, and then tried a hard reset (fortunately it was still able to connect to my PC for backing up data).
Even loaded a new ROM OS.
It happened to my Jasjam and I found the scroll wheel circuit board was the culprit (don't ask me how). I managed to get a "broken" Jasjam off ebay for a fair price and cannabalized it for the part I needed. Fixed it nicely.
I don't know if your is the same thing but if you can get a hold of a "broken" Hermes it might be worth a shot. Found the "broken" Jasjam had nothing wrong with it either. Good buy for $120AUD...
Cheers...

Oh thanks heaps man I just fixed my JasJam backlight problem by replacing the scroll wheel circuit with another one!!! This was definately the issue, i would have never thought of trying this! This should be added to the wiki.

how exacly to do that, i have a backlight problem to please help
backlight only turned on when i slide my hermes
When I got my 8525 about a year ago I immediately put schaps on it. About 6 months ago I gave starbase 64 a shot and I dont know if it was coincidence (probably was) or what, but ever since then my screen gets a little off. What I mean by that is, when I first calibrate it it's dead on. After about 2 minutes it gets off. Like I touch the screen and it's at least a good 1/4" off.
Is it my digitizer going out or is it the rom's going kiddy whompus with my device?
Mate, mine did the same thing. The digitizer is going.
Download remote screen alignment (quick search will get the app), it installs on the PC so that you can use the PC to record the screen alignment settings and then, if you do a hard reset or flash a new rom and can't get past the alignment the PC will get you to the today screen. Hardware keys will allow most functions, though its a *****, but either replace the LCD (digitizer attached) or put the cash towards a new Device. Leys face it, the Hermes is no longer supported and a lot of the chefs are leavin for new devices. Soon it will only be us diehards, too poor to upgrade or too stubborn, left on the forums...

BAH! I had a feeling that was the case. If the snow would fall I'd be making a few hundred a night plowing and I could get a new one.... Maybe I'll give my plan to someone and throw my blackberry in on the deal and get a new htc with a plan.
Well, if you are pretty handy with a screwdriver the digitizers arent too hard to replace and run pretty cheap on eBay. I just did a new LCD and Digitizer on my 8525 about 2 weeks ago and I think it ran me a whole $25 shipping and all. Just an idea if you are kinda attached to that one.

Is this what you mean? Or is this it?
I found that app after a few frantic searches (I wasn't able to align after my first flash lol) and it's brilliant. However, I found a better way was just to place a file named welcome.not (create a new text document and rename it welcome.not) in the root dir of the microsd. That bypasses the whole welcome thing when you reflash.
Definately the LCD and digitizer combo. Its a MAJOR pain in the acher to try and attach the digitiser to the LCD, you have to first remove the old one. Mongrel job. Easier to just replace the LCD and digitiser as one unit.
Ok thanks
well, my htc touch a while developed this look in certain lighting conditions with the screen backlight off that can only be described as looking like a opilspill, and i thought it might of been the touchscreen layers seperating, but untill just now it still worked fine so i wasnt too bothered, was working great one miniute and the next miniute i went to send a text and the touchscreen wasent responding. i tried a hard and soft reset , nothing and right now im extremly pi**ed off as i loved that phone and havent really got the cash for another one .
my question is what is the lightlyhood that the only thing gone is the digitiser, and has anyone used any of them dodgey chinese sellers on ebay as thats the only place i can fine them i dont wanna be leaving XDA developers so early
any advice will be aprieciated, feel like a famy pet jus died or summan
EDIT: dont think its relevent but im using the blue elves rom v6 i think
well you can try mymobiler and use your pc to try and correct any issues
i think the issue might be hardware as i have done a hard reset, did try using mymobiler just to use the phone after i had hard reset, but its either a bug or the way that the touchpads calibrated that i cant now after a hard reset.
what happens is the inital tap the screen to setup, that works, but mymobiler wont allow me to to the screen taps to calibrate.
Back to the box than till i can find a faulty one on ebay in the uk
Find another faulty one of eBay? Why not send it in to HTC and make use of their manufacturer warranty, hopefully its still covered. But worth a shot.
am going to do just that. it was definatly the digitiser have managed to get tho old digitiser working in a strange way, just pressure over time, am posting on it now, but its gonna need replacing but at least I got my phone back thanks everybody
what you are describing is newton rings
Beware of HTC's large screen phones.
Any force applied to them, even taking off a screen protector, is enough to produce "newton rings" and the screen stops responding to touch.
Not much use for a touch screen phone.
HTC refuse to cover this by warranty and refuse to negotiate. expect to shell out up to $500 to repair it. With no guarantee that the next screen won't do the same thing.
Design or Materials fault but they won't cover it by warranty.
well at least i know what caused it, sorted it a while back by replacing the digitsier myself. ended up getting it from the chinese ebay seller. before that i took out the digitiser, applied weight to the top and froze it lol, it worked but i replaced the digitiser anyway.
thanks for all your replys
Hello, since some months, my touchscreen sometime stopped to work untill today where it just don't work anymore. Just in case, I flashed my rom but the problem is still the same... Is there a way to make it working again somehow ?
If not, I hope that one of the soft in http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-242578.html is better than "fake cursor" wich always double-clic and use 99% of the cpu.
get new digitiser - however not easy to fit.
I didn't know it was possible to buy just this and not a whole new device, thanks.
Digitizers are available and are fairly cheap to purchase, but from your querry I would assume fitting one will be beyond your capabilities, so unless you know someone who will fit one for you professionally, I suggest purchasing the LCD + Digitizer as a unit and see the Uni disassembly guide or ask me to walk you through fitting.
