My dear fellow owners of a Blue Angel ppc. I've recently updated my Blue angel to wm6.1 by xplode and was having a weird problem. My screen was de calibrating at a very steady pace (around 1mm per day) and every time I tried to align my screen the touch screen simply friezed. I had to shut the device down and turn it on again in order to leave the align screen and the touch screen was functional again.
I tough it was a problem of the rom and posted my trouble in the topic of the rom. But since I'm not the kind of person that stays put waiting for other to solve my problem I went on a search trough the forum and found out that several other members of the forum where experiencing the same problem (on other devices) and the common thing on all of them was the installation of the cube/touch flo.
I started wondering if that was my problem to. So I uninstalled cube and the touch screen stopped responding. So I soft reset the device and the touch screen was working again (I just got a error message that the touch flo couldn't be started) and I was able to successful align my screen.
In resume:
Issue: The touch screen stops responding uppon entering the "Align Screen" screen.
Important considerations: do you have touch flo or cube installed?
Solution: If yes to question above, then remove the touch flo and/or cube from your device and the problem should be solved.
thank you for reading and I hope I was useful.
Be well!
I have the same problem, but my BA did not install any touch flo nor cube!
Cound it be any other reason?
Thanks.
Could you please describe your problem in more detail? What's your rom, why can't you align screen, etc.
Use a thin card!!!
I been using this once when I had the same problem. Use a thin card and swipe it between the keyboard and the main phone. Do it on top and bottom. During the time you do it yo will hear something like a clip sound. I think thats the screen calibrator, i don't know. but it works
Not bad if you try it.

No I'm not kidding. Me and My Brother-in-law did that. We have the same device. I did it first after finding somewhere in modaco. He told me that it worked.

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??

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 esfa.. i'm now having the same problem.. it's so irratating.. anyone helped you with this? Did you ever resolve this problem and how!!
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried the hard reset on your palm, many problem of hardware not working comes from hacking and installing stuff, a Hard Reset fixes almost anything soft-related.
Now if your screen doens't work at all after HR your palm, then your touchscreen is damaged.
You are probably trying to align your screen with your finger. You can't do that. Make sure you use your stylus to align the screen or you won't be able to get the touchscreen to work with your fingers anymore.
. When I'm in an app my touch screen will freeze, no input works but my screen rotation does. When I rotate my screen my input will work again or if I wait about 30 sec or more the input will unfreeze by itself. This is happening alot and its really irritating me. I have an unlocked unit (from the store) rooted. I tried to "fix permissions" but ROM manager says "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged command".
Also I cannot sync with Kies (latest) and cannot sync with Samsung account in the "account sync" in system. Any ideas and thought are helpful. Thanks.
Are you by any chance touching the screen with your other hand? I've done that a couple of times by mistake, and that will prevent the touch screen from recognizing other touches. You can touch the bezel, but not the screen itself. One reason the screen might work adter rotation is that you are moving your hands as you turn the screen. If this is not the case, please disregard my comment.

I don't think I understand. I hold the bezel with my left hand. So you think that my left hand (the one holding the bezel) is being recognized without my knowing and this is not letting my right hand inputs get recognized? Hmmmm I will have to see this, makes sense because sometimes I get a pop up menu because my left hand thumb has accidentally touched the screen. Thanks, I will keep this in mind.

Yes I believe you are right. I have been very very careful of my holding hand and I have not had the problem. Thanks.
Glad to be of help
Hi ppl my E7 start giving a few toutch screen problems a few days ago. At fist it start unlocking the screen and opening apps and doing calls on its own when on my pocket what it never did before since i bought him months ago. The when i was playing heartstone the toutch screen become totaly crazy no leting me do any grab and drag options e clicking screen at randow :S After a few turn screen on/off it become ok again.. But after a few minutes it hapend again :S when form tha moment it was never the same.. sometimes stops from responding other can do the drag up action to unlock screen others cant drag items others it just starts clicking like crazy on screen on its own.. Had a few power on/off.. Problems continues.. Had a factory reset problem seem a little better but not much.. juxt stop clicking on its own now but cant do drag actions across full screen. Now i installed a toutch screen test app. Found that a part of the screen is not responding (or is responding really really bad like a dozen pixels only in a finger from top to buttom size area) in a paint test... the lenght of a finger.. from top to bottoum near the middle screen (Landscape mode). Cold it be a software issue on the rom ? i did installed some suspecius software (im rooted) a few times could it have damage the rom or the touch drivers or controls in a way the reseting it wont fix? could installing other rom fix it ? Could it be that the screen got out of calibration or something like that ? or its really an hardware issue ?
if its hardware is it cheaper just to exchance the touch screen since the screen doesnt have a single scrach? Or replacing the touch panel is the expansive part when screen breaks? Please any idea is welcome even if little help. Thx for any answer in advance and sorry for my bad english :S im Portuguese
Hi
I am using lenovo Z2 plus an have been encountering problem with touch not working. The touch works for 1 second after unlocking the phone and then stops automatically. I have tried resetting the phone, installing new custom roms but in all cases touch works for some time after unlocking and then stops working. Any suggestions on what to do?
Hey guys, is there anyone who can suggest me what to do? Would really appreciate some help
I guess touch display is broken. I had the same problem after a slight drop. Screen was perfectly ok but touch was broken. I replaced the whole screen since it was easier method

I'm facing the same problem right now.
Is it working for you now? Help me fix this.
I had same problem. I found a temporary solution some where-
1. Lock phone screen.
2. Put your right thumb anywhere on screen and keep it there.
3. Now unlock your screen with right hand fingers, dont lift your left thumb from screen.
4. As long as your left thumb is on screen, it will respond normally, it ayou lift your left thumb, screen will freeze and you have to repeat all avobe steps.
I know this is very annoying, but something is better than nothing.
Well my phone screen touch worked normally itself within 1 month without any repair.

I'm not facing this problem anymore. But, touch doesn't work on top of the screen.
I did whatever you told, yet it doesn't work. Is there a solution for this?
