Taking the stylus out does not wake up the device - Touch HD General

Hello all, hope someone can help. Taking out the stylus does not wake up my htc hd anymore, it worked well out of the box so I initially suspected that it was due to conflicts with some of the software that I installed (i.e. PocketShield/Gyrator2). However, even after doing a hard reset, it still does not work.
Is there a tweak which I can check if it is enabled?
Best Rgds

My stylus never turned the device on when removed. Would appreciate any help.

I didn't think mine did either but I have just re-installed mine then added the hotfix. I have S2u2 set to unlock on removing the stylus and yes it wakes from sleep and unlocks when I pull the stylus out.

It's back after reinstalling Gyrator
I reinstalled Gyrator and after putting in and taking out the stylus twice, the ppc was able to detect the stylus again. Good news is that is is now working.
I suspect I may have uninstalled the software whilst the stylus was out and that may have caused it to be disabled.
Thanks all.

XDA II Touch screen not respon..

How can i solve this problem?
Regards
Stev
difficult to say.
Did you try a soft-reset?
did you try a hard reset?
When did it stop responding? after fall? after upgrade? after dropping it in the loo ?
do the buttons work?
Pls give more details
Dear,
As M4io said, it's difficult to say, did you uninstall any unofficial software such as BT Patch, etc? if so, only hard reset will do
HTH
Cheers,
I used to have this problem.
it due to Calligrapher 7.4
For me, to solve this problem by uninstall that software from activesync.
in my case ,touch screen doesn't work but hardware button still work.
you may try to uninstall the last software that may cause this problem via activesync.
I do soft-reset & hard-reset still not work. It stop when I get up morning. Last night no problem. When do hard-reset touch screen not response..but screen still work. All Button is Ok. I can't calibrate the screen when do hard reset.
Did you chack you Ext. ROM and \Windows\startup ?
about "TPdisable.exe"
you can try remove it from Ext.ROM and do hard reset again.
Hope you luck.
Have you got a screen protector fitted to the screen, this will sometimes stop screen taps registering if the edges are under the edge of the screen.

XDA II Screen malfunction

I tried using the XDA II today and the screen touch pad does not respond at all. The up down rocker wouldcycle through the today items and the hardware buttons worked. I tried a soft and then hard reset. Now I can not get past the set up screen where it says taps the screen to set up your device.
Any ideas?
There are two problems that i can think now.
Firstly, it due to screen protector. If you change a new one, try remove it.
Because screen protector is not suitable or incorrect place.
Secondly, it due to some program that you've been installed.
In my case ,I found problem with Calligrapher7.4. After I install,my screen is totally locked but Hardware button still work.
The way to resolve is by uninstall program via activesync. Just put your device to cradle wait until sync is completed ,then click add/remove program and remove your suspected software that cause your problem.
Hope you can solve this problem.

Touch Screen Calibration Troubleshooting

The touch screen alignment on my Diamond occasionally gets misaligned and inadvertently aligns itself without warning. When I tap in one place, it registers in another. It is a really big nuisance especially in circumstances where I need to quickly input data into the PPC.
I was hoping that somebody had a solution for this?

have u tried realign???
I had that problem on my 2nd Diamond. Tried different version of ROMs but the problem still there, so I returned it and get a new one. My first one had a problem of self-restarting. Finally, now I'm happy my third Diamond
So ask if you can get a replacement, otherwise send it for repair.
Probably worth mentioning. I had a similar problem and it was driving me mad.
I was about to return the device for service, then I discovered it was a result of installing the GSen screen rotation program. I'd installed it to try it a few weeks ago and forgotten about it.
It turned out it that was switching the digitiser orientation without rotating the screen.
Uninstalled GSen and it's all fine now.
I'm hoping that uninstalling GSen will do the trick. Will give it a try tonight.
GSen was uninstalled and the problem still exists. Does anyone know if there is a firmware upgrade that handles this problem?
Have the same problem...
The touchscreen decalibrates itself.
2 minutes after calibrating it changes everything again. And just randomly.
Seems to be a hardware mistake, because even a hard reset didn't bring any help.
Anybody a solution?

Touch Response Problem

I have a Sprint Touch [Vogue]. It has served me very well up until recently.
One day, I was using my phone normally when the battery died. No big deal right?
Well, I charge my phone and reboot it. For some reason, Windows is EXTREMELY slow and unresponsive. I figure that something vital had been corrupted by the battery's death, and that it was nothing that a hard reset couldn't fix.
I performed a hard reset.
I let the utilities for the first boot run to customize the phone. Everything seemed pretty much normal. I configured my settings, re-added my contacts, etc. Then I turned the screen off [with the power button].
I turn it back on later to do something. I touch the screen. It immediately and accurately detects the touch's location, but it continues detecting a touch. For 20-30 seconds, after the input has stopped.
It was strange, so I soft reset the device. It booted, with the same problem. So I performed another hard reset. I did some configuration [the response acting normal at this point], and then turned the screen off. Turning it back on brought the same problem back.
This problem still exists on my phone, even after numerous hard resets and even ROM flashes.
A better description of the problem: When the device is first turned back on [meaning brought out of standby], its touch response is messed up. It will immediately and accurately detect any touch input, but it will continue to detect the input for up to 30 seconds AFTER it has been released, as if you were holding it the whole time.
WHY is this???? My phone is almost unusable because of this!!!! I can still place/ receive calls, using the navigation buttons and the red and green buttons. But the touch response is screwed!
Can someone please shed some light on this problem I'm having?
Phone specs: Windows Mobile 6.1, HTC / Sprint customized. Minimal third party software is currently installed.
[I've already determined that third party software is not the problem, because i haven't installed any!]
Possible solution
Hi,
today I experienced something similar to your description - no touch response when I tried to pickup a call. The strange thing is that last night everything was working and no settings were modified nor programs were added/removed. The screen suddenly 'died'. At the moment I am using it through a program MyMobiler which brings the mobile display to the PC and I can use the mouse to control the phone (it is like VNC for the phone screen, the phone is connected with ActiveSync).
This is temporary solution untill I finish my backups of files, programs, settings. I didnot performed hard reset yet, hope this will solve my problem
In the following link there is a 'magical' solution - to remove the screen protector:
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1112981/LCD+or+Touch+screen+not+working
P.S. I had removed the screen protector and voilá - the screen is now touch responsive. The root cause of the problem obviously is the dust between the screen and the protector which results in constant screen pressing - and as a result no accepting my finger presses.
I hope this will work for you and others with similar problem.
I had a similar experience with an old Vogue.....In my case, there was no battery death precursor, but it just started acting up. Not too long thereafter, I noticed the screen/digitizer was forming what looked like an air bubble between the digitizer and the LCD on one place of the screen. The screen was becoming defective. I eventually had to buy another Vogue from a friend who didn't have a clue of the 6900's potential, and didn't want his anymore, so I got it cheap.
Sounds like your screen/digitizer may be on it's last leg.

Leo Screen freeze crash Issue

I have been having some problems with my leo where i cannot unlock it after coming out of standby. The screen just freezes.
And sometimes when i press the END button to get it out of standby, the key lights come on, but nothing else happens.
Apparently others have this issue too! - check out u-tube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqJw5omurLA
Has anyone else had this or still having this? Do i have to return my phone for another one?
Have you tried a hard reset?

Haven't had the issue. Vaguely read about this somewhere else, might be related to the default WM 6.5 lockscreen. Disable it and try something like S2U2 and see if u still have the same issue.
I have same problem with my device. Is this software or hardware problem? I have to do hard reset, and after that display can be stack. So I have to do soft reset, and phone working. It happens to me 2 times in one day, both times after I have been in room with very bad signal. Maybe that can produce problem. Symptoms are same as on YouTube video.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
i face this b4, it happend few times a day. but after i do hard reset the problem is solved. i think should be installed something conflict with the phone or inproper amended some registry
i used to have this but now it is less common after I have installed WMTask to Close applications when I hit "X" (instead of WM just minimizing the app). In effect it frees up memory and hopefully does cause your HD to struggle for memory when waking up?
guys,
for your info, I installed a new ROM and this didnt help. So it is NOT a SOFTWARE issue. I returned my phone for a new replacement unit and no more issues.
Sorry to say but if u have this problem u need to send your phone back.
I now have no more issues!
Mine has been doing this a lot. Turning it back on just results in the keys lighting up and nothing more.
Work around is to turn on so keys light up, hold down power key until lights all go off, then press power key again ... it will come back to the lock screen.
Thanks for your prompt answer.
It is not seems as memory problem, because if I remove and return battery problem stay. Maybe it can be problem with display driver. Also it is a little strange that after hard reset, I have to do soft reset to get it work again. I not like to change rom version, because it can void my guaranty, and maybe it is hardware problem.
Mine does exactly the same thing once it gets warm. Decided to return it after trying multiple hard resets. ROM changes and S2U2. Made no difference.
As I've joked on this forum before (although it's true), I had to put mine in the freezer to get the screen to work again so it sounds to me like a hardware issue.
Mine's going back for a replacement next week...
HTC HD2 freezes quite often Solution

Well thanks for the solution so if we get that bug , just put your brand new HTC HD2 on the freeser lol
I had similar problem four mornings in a row. Hardware keys would light up but screen dead. Soft reset got it going again, and a hard reset made no difference, even without reinstalling my softwares (I had a clock alarm set for each morning, maybe this is just coincidence). Someone on another forum with a similar issue suggested installing MemMaid, and for me this has worked. Running a regular 'clean' has meant that the problem has not returned, for three days now. So far! I notice that every clean finds many duplicate or invalid 'notifications', not sure if these somehow accumulate and cause the device to crash? Maybe worth trying? So problem for me at least is software related. HTC need to sort this as it is really annoying, and MemMaid is only free as a trial.

I am not quite sure that is software problem, if you done hard reset, and display still not respond on touch.
Soft or hard reset could clear the problem, I just mean that a hard reset didn't avoid the problem coming back. My current ROM is the official 1.48, didn't have this issue on the previous official ROM.
I got confirmation from service today, that it is hardware issue with phone display.

How do you know if youre phone should be replaced? Does it happen every time?
This happens to me every so often.
ya, I'm experiencing this as well. real drag!
The same thing happened to me aswell.
I recieved a message and when I tried to unlock the screen, nothing happened. The hardware keys worked but the screen didn't register my touches.
Tried soft reset, didn't work. Removed battery for a while, didn't work. Hard reset, didn't work. Flashed official ROM from HTC, didn't work.
It's been sent for repair. Hope I get it back quickly
I actually don't. But I insist to get phone replaced. I wrote appeal to company where I buy phone. Also I wrote down S/N and IME so I can check if I get new one.
Got the exact same problem, have been complaining about this in different topic here.
Sometimes couldn't unlock screen for many hours... then suddenly works again.
I've tried everything : decreasing/inscreasing screen sensitivity with reg, removing the screen lock, stopping the weather animation as suggested, putting a second finger in a corner while touching the screen : NOTHING WORKS
The only thing i'm convinced : it IS a hardware problem.
When the screen didn't react at all for some hours, sometimes playing with its humidity could help for a few minutes only ( by cleaning the screen with some special wet lcd cleaner or cleaning the screen with some humidity from my breath).
Also i'm travelling a lot (several countries a week)... and noticed THE PROBLEM APPEARS IN COUNTRY WHERE HUMIDITY IS HIGH. (that's also the reason why freezer could help. in a freezer, it's so cold, that the humidity is not in the air anymore, but is in ice state).
MAYBE SOME GOOD NEWS:
I recently bought the HTC screen protection for the HD2 (5 days ago).
Thanks to it, Air humidity doesn't touch the screen directly anymore.
And the problem hasn't appeared, not even once!
I just arrived a few hours ago in the country where i always had the problem (cause of its high humidity), and guess what ? Screen is still working great
I'll keep u up to date if problems come back.... but for now, i really think this is the solution (with logical explanation).
Kaemon.
