Need more info. Is it just not touch sensitive is the screen blank, have you soft reset etc.
Mike
Its just not touch sensetive, i have soft reset. Someone told me to hard reset and now i'm stuck in the "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile-based device". It won't acknowlege the tap.
Have you accidentally dropped it or anything to that effect??
Or is this literally just since you tweaked the clock refresh rate??
It's literally sine i tweaked the clock refresh rate. I havent dropped it or done anything else like that.
Joe
I probably need i new screen, don't i?
Thanks for your replies
Joe
try reflashing a new ROM in it if you ****ed with the clock speed that was stupid since i dont think at the moment there are any apps that properly clock the processor

I would just be cautious not to assume a screen fault as opposed to some other fault. If you are taking it for repair that's one thing but if you were thinking of replacing the screen yourself it might still not work.

You were right, my friend owns an electronics shop and had a spare screen. I replaced it and it still doesn't work.
Joe
Update!
My touch screen does work! If i hold the stylus in the top left corner of the screen and drag it down, the start menu appears. I can also go up and down in the settings menu. I have followed the instructions for screen alignment, hasn't made any difference.
Where should i go from here?
thanks
Joe
I have the same situation as you.
I took my x01ht to a repair shop. Touch screen replacement is not work.
The technician said that hermes uses Samsung CPU which integrates with touch screen controller.
In order to fix our problem, replacing the CPU(board) is needed.
Don't know whether that is true or not

Somehow get to the notes application and try drawing on the screen. This will let you know whether only the left side of the screen is working.
If you get weird shapes coming up then you'll just have to send it for repair as it's not as people often assume, just a screen problem.
EDIT: Hang on!!! How can you have done the screen alignment if the screen is not touch sensitive at the 5 crosshairs on screen??????

That is possible, though without being able to test the device it's not possible to say for sure.
Mike
My problem is exactly like wundis in this post.
When the device uses actively, the touch screens stops respeonse.

I did the screen alignment by connecting the device to my PC with activesync and deleting the "Welcome" file in the windows startup folder. Now its working fine without touch screen'.
Nothing draws when in Notes
Update.
I've been stupid. the touch screen wasnt working, i was just pressing so hard it was pushing the keypads in. What an egit!
i remember reading that alot of people having problems with their hard keyboard on their xperia, alot of us experience after a couple months or usage the space button does not work to well either you have to press down really hard or use only certain spot on the space keyboard.
My solution...please do at your own RISK....i use a xacto knive or hobby knive whatever you want to call it...carefully run it through the keyboard...i then remove the battery and sim and use a duster canister and blow into the gaps...try to lift the keys you have issue with slightly and blow some air into there too...basically i just clean the keyboard.
hope this help
where did you find out that this is a known problem as my phone has a problem with the space button as in its cracked
i have contacted my network and they said if its not a part of the warrenty or they believe it was my fault i would have to pay for the repair
however and sony ericsson i had before had a simular known problem where the buttons kept cracking so i was able to get a replacment free of charge
it would be a great help if you could post a link and/or let me know where you got the information from so i could try and get a replacment phone or it repaired (I am suprised with me x1 though I recieved mine when vodafone uk first released them and haven't had to replace it and i have had very little problems)
i am having the same problem with space bar..
why not get replacement instead of voiding warranty?
there was a thread a couple weeks back and many people report that they have to press down alot harder on their space bar or the right side of the space bar doesnt work....its not voided the warranty or anything you are not opening up the phone just cleaning it so the button would work again...and theres no crack on my xperia...i believe that is another problem with xperia havin cracks in certain area of the phone.
Ok well I will just go into my local vodafone shop soon and hope they will provide me with a replacement
I am not very good with what to say
When I contacted then on the phone I was told that if they thought it was my fault i would have to pay for the repair
One thing that has annoyed me is since the update a few weeks ago (the R2 one i think it is) I have had to hard reset my x1 quite often and when trying to remove programs they are still there
SE SUPPORT IS NOT GOOD !
sorry.. i am really fed up with them..

I am experiencing the exact problem that you describe, the keyboard space bar on the left side is perfect, but on the right side it has a fault. The button still works but has no feedback or click from the right side of the button, it also creaks a bit from the surrounding panel when I press the button.
I have had my phone only a few days, but I got it from eBay, so I cannot return it. Do I still have a manufactures warrantee? Or do I need to provide proof of purchase?
Has any one else go this problem? Has it been reported as a common problem by Sony Ericsson, so it can be fixed under manufactures warrantee?
Else does the solution at top of this thread work?
im not sure about warranty if you bought it off ebay thats just like buying from the flea market, you get something for a deal but its as is no warranty usually...
im not asking any of you guys to void the warranty im just clean the xperia take out the battery and use a air canister to blow off the dust inside the xperia and clean in between the buttons you have trouble with thats all...
this works for me so i just wanted to past it along to you guys hopefully it works for you as well.
cheers
X1 Spacekey problem
My X1's space key has also developed a problem. Not only do I have to press the keyboard harder than usual but sometimes it puts a period "." instead of a space. I would like to clean it out but I'm afraid that I might break the space key
Got the same problem and mine got extra 'n' key problem.
Had the same problem, keyboard sensitivity issues. Sent it down to SE and they replaced the keyboard within 2 days. Now it's working fine.
i have noticed a sensitivity issue with the space bar but it weirdly only started happening when i upgraded to R3. Since then the space bar acts erratic and instead of one space it adds three or four with a single press.
lower the sensivity in settings
my problem is that space is not reacting well AGAIN...allready had it replaced once
I need your advice...
My Touch Screen doesn't function, I cannot dial out, Faulty LCD or Touch Screen (or both), While I click on the screen it doesn’t respond or it has a shift, I click on the top of the screen and it actual click on the middle of the screen.
I have no problem with the display - it display everything and correctly with full color.
What I think is that I have a problem with my touch screen.
Did anyone had a problem with the touch screen and replace it?
What is strange, when I hrad reset the device, on screen alignment process I have no problem to click on the cross, but it takes the device up to 3-4 times to aligen the device.
I want to order the touch screen part and replace it, I don't have warranty.
Do I need to replace the LCD as well or just the touch screen? Either way it will be cheaper to buy them both then to send it to repair.
when the backlight is off...and you hold the phone 20 cm for your eye`s and turn a bit up and down in a room with light...can you see a oil film on the screen...???
that is the digitizer....sorry german english..

Any fix for this ugly bug ?
Before HTC HD2 i had iPhone 3G, and it had no such bug.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRrKEDP59XE
This bug works on all apps, the biggest problem is when you type text on virtual keyboard, all buttons around are triggered.
Get a life man.
Obviously it has a sensitive touch screen. It is not a bug. You can decrease the sensitivity using BSBtweeks amongst others. But if you touch and twitch your finger on the screen that's what you get.
And if you don't like it go back to you iPhone.

there are a lot of faulty devices initially which were released. claim your
warranty, bring this back to where you bought it and show them your problem

it is not bug it is due to over senstivity and it is common in capastive screens even my iphone do it but not so much as its screen is smaller
just don't use the tip of your fingure
there are any. cab to lower the sensitivity enough to solve this problem?
thank you very much

you obviously have a defective unit. I tested mine exactly the same way and doesn't have this shaking screen at all. (even at the maximum zoom level at opera.) try to get a replacement.
i was having problems with the sensitive touch screen, not as bad as most, but very annoying. the main one being when trying to press the back key on the keyboard it would randomly hit a letter instead bout 1 outa 5 times. most other things where quite good.
Phone was still quite new so i returned it to virgin for a replacement and this new one works perfectly. Also, my old one had the visible matrix at angles where as this one does not. Also, the sticker on the packet says rev.B. Not sure if its relevant.
Anyway, to some it up, if you are having screen problems that are souring your phone experience and like me you can get a hassle free same day exchange, i'd go for it, cos the difference is really quite large. Previously id adopted to using skype as the normal qwerty was too innacurate for fast input. but now i can type quickly and accurately in portraite mode on the normal keyboard. Pinch to zoom seems to be working much better now aswell.
I have BSBtweeks and low sensitivty in that movie. On/OFF no big deal same effect.
I guess you guys don't have iPhone 3G and don't know how to real TouchScreen should work.
Why are you keeping your finger on the screen for so long?
Why not ?
For example, you scroll web down, and up in one move to see it all etc..
or u use Virtual mouse like notebook touchpad to control your pc cursor over wifi. etc.
I do it on iPhone without this bug.
get the same probleme and bsb don't change anything
LOL @ tags to this thread
I try and I try and I try but I can not replicate the problem in any software at any zoom level....
I have turned the tweak on and off and still cant make my screen do that maybe your phone is faulty,
i had the same problem, get your phone replaced under warranty !
i sent mine out under warranty repair and foud that they did nothing to fix it so i rang them (o2) and told them the problem is still apparent.
they sent me recondtioned model. cant tell the difference (physical) between reconditioned and a new one if you ask me!
i dont have the shakes with this phone
I got the exact same problem. Screen shivers like crazy, damn annoying. Bought in Norway... So it goes under warranty? I thought it was supposed to be like this......

Just confirmed this issue on my Omnia7.
This is retarded. Capacitive screens don't work that way.
not having any problem on my omnia 7...tried everything to try emulate some of the effects reported! not seeing any deterioration in sensitivity!
Not a pickle from my Omnia 7, Still as lush as ever and responsive as it should be, i've been mostly USING in on a pillow/soft surface when it's laying down next to me when i'm home and sitting here for hours on end.
Loving it even more when all these bugs/glitches come out and it's stomping them down.
I feel I should come back to this and apologise as I have found a pillow which messes up my phone's touch responsiveness too. Interesting.

What kind of pillow? This smells of static to me, seeing as capactive screens rely on the tiny electrical charges in your body. Polyester fabrics getsquite static, do they not?
It happens to me when I place it on my desk...
I noticed the same thing...but I didn't associate this with the soft surface, the touch screen doesn't work when it's plugged into the charger

It says that in the manual! Page 12:

While the device is charging, the touch screen may
not function due to an unstable power supply. If
this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the
device.

Of course, that's assuming your power supply is dodgy...

I believe the manual is a load of BS. My iPad works fine when connected to my powerpoint. I've noticed that when the Omnia is charging via powerpoint its screen sensitivity does go down, BUT, when you hold the phone with your other hand, or even just touch part of the rear/side with one finger, the screen starts working flawlessly.... imo it could be some design flaw regarding conductivity
When I place my Omnia 7 on my car phone holder (from Capdase), the screen does not respond at times, and I can't seem to find any pattern why or how this happens. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Once I take it off the phone holder, the screen is working fine again.
I wrote it in the other thread... but I had this problem too and after I flashed the newest firmware it was gone. Now the screen responds perfect no matter where I place the phone.
You should check the thread with omnia firmware out
Another solution I found is that you would need to Hard reset your device not through the settings but turning off and than press/hold volume down + camera and power on. Than press the middle button twice and than you will not have anymore problems with touch screen.

o really?! I thought it was just magic and the magic couldn't work when the phone was placed on soft things! im so glad someone with intelligence could teach me about this capacitive thingy whoever he is!
you have completely cleared this up for me - i now see the error of my ways. must have been having hallucinations or something. sorry for this disruption everybody!
i hope the next version of our phone uses magic because that would be really cool!
on a side note to that, after updating my firmware yesterday this dosnt seem to happen anymore. stupid hallucinations!
Had this before, after the firmware Upgrade the Problem seems to be resolved but after some time ( 1 week or so ) it's back again.
Looks like there is a fix for the laying-flat-issue for the Focus:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11077163#post11077163
Maybe it works for some issues with the Omnia 7 as well. Did anybody already try?
Yes, have the same. If I put it on my couch, or bed. Sometimes also on hard surfaces. Doesn't bother me too much though, but it is weird.
I'm not trying to toot my own horn here...but I was literally the first person (or one of them at least) on Microsoft answers, Youtube and forums alike to raise concern about this issue.
It's a conductivity problem. As long as one hand is touching the back of the phone (sometimes near the top or sides too) then the touch screen will operate normally.
The reason it stuffs up when you have it flat is because you're not touching the back of the device, hence the conductivity flaw.
Check all this, it's a problem with the Omnia 7's, deal with it or chose another handset. I ended up keeping mine, I can live with it.
