Hi,
i bought the X1 several days back and now i have this annoying issue with my touch screen stopping to work at random times. it usually happens right after i had unlocked the keyboard and screen, and only a restart fixes it.
some specs:
- i have put my left hardkey as keyboard lock button
- i have SpB mobile shell installed and working just fine
- i have calendar sync with Outlook
- my Now screen is the default visible screen when the keys are locked
the funny thing is that i unlock the keys through the touch screen (left softkey and then right softkey) and afterwards it is just as good as locked as well. it doesnt occur after any specific action as far as i have observed so far, it just happens every say 20-25 locks/unlocks. neither browisng through menus (using the hard keys) nor sliding the phone in and out, nor locking and unlocking again fixes this.
does someone have a similar problem or any idea for solution to this?
thanks,
Ivaylo
Me too
I have the same problem and i also have SpB mobile shell installed.

Hi,
OK .. I admit I have played with installing a few software to try yesterday night and there were fine but this morning when making a call-out I noticed that my Phone screen is not displayed.
It's just blank.
But when I click on the digits (where I usually see a phone keypad) these are pressed and the number is displayed on the top of the screen, but still not the Key I pressed.
I have already uninstall the soft I tried and soft-reseted but it didn't fix anything.
The soft I played with were:
- PhoneAlarm*
- SPB Pocket Plus
- Webaroo
I kind-of-think it was due to PhoneAlarm skins since I installed and ran a VGA skin by mistake which may have corrupted some screen images (like Phone).
Any idea ? Has anyone had the same before ?
I remember I had lost part of the Phone keys a few months ago when I tried to install a Phone skin thatwas supposed t replace the keys, when uninstalling it the default keys did not come back (and I had to hard-rest :-( )
If you know of a decent Phone Keypad skin then I could install it and it will replace my phone keys then ... (alternatevely)
Thanks so much for your fast assistance,
F.
Hi all,
Like many people's, my Hermes (T-Mobile Vario II) suffers from screen misalignment issue, and needs re-aligning almost daily. I've done all the mods but to no avail. It is out of warranty so I can't send it back.
Recently, when I try to align the screen (by pressing Confirm button + Message button, or by going to Settings > System > Screen), it just hangs in the "Align Screen" screen - it does not respond when I tap on the target cross.
Only a soft reset can take me out of the screen.
I am using Schap's January 2008 version.
Any idea why please?
But screen now is misaligned really badly and I can't re-align it...
Thanks.
EDIT:
But it doesn't happen every time. Very occasionally it would work...

Answer is easy... Schaps roms have "Ftouchflo" installed. It is nearly sure it is activated on your phone. In this case, the alignment utility is NOT usable. And the pda can stay with a non reactive touch screen till next reset.
Desactivate touchflo by using the touchflo configuration tool followed by a soft reset. So you will be able to use screen alignment.
Just tried and yes! Thats it!
Thanks a lot matey!
You are welcome
Perhaps this should have it's own thread but it is very similar.
My tytn (WM6) has suddenly developed a strange problem. When I go to align the screen, the crosses appear as normal and when I point to them, it appears to be working. Except... After pointing to the last cross, the whole thing starts again, and this happens continuously!
This started when I applied a screen protector and tried to align the screen through it. It was working fine before then. I have taken the screen protector off again, but there is no change.
As I've spent the whole day installing cab files and getting it as I like it, syncing etc. too, I really don't want to have to hard reset it again.
Any other ideas?
That usually means more than 1 point is touching the screen.
That's what I thought but I've cleaned the screen and done the business card trick all round the edges. I can't see where it could be touching...
Any other ideas or suggestions that may help?
I couldn't find a touchflo "disable" button anywhere on my Hermes, but I did go into "Remove Programs" and uninstalled the HTC Cube application, then did a stylus soft reset, then aligned the screen with no problem.
hi there
i got a "small" problem with my touch hd. since im carrying the phone in my pocket, i installed "slide2unlock" to prevent the screen from unlocking itself in my pocket...
thing is - i got numerous complaints from people on my contact list, that i called them (sometimes multiple times in a row) without beeing on the phone... seemed to me that the screen unlocked (by accidently touching/pressing the botton on the top in my pocket) and the now unlocked phone started to do funny stuff like calling people...
problem is, that even with s2u installed AND active, my phone keeps calling people. one time, i held the phone in my hand, started the music player, locked the screen via the top button - and the next moment the screen lit up again (without me touching anything "touchable" like the side- oder top buttons - the screen was locked anyways) and my phone started to call a contact from my contact list.
there seems to be no real schema in what people are called. seems like the phone picks randomly one of my contacts on my list and calles him right away.
how do i stop this? im out of ideas here and this thing is really getting on my (and others) nerves...
According to your through description the problem might be even an exotic thing for WM - a virus. Try Kaspersky mobile
Have you installed any custom phone/dialer applications? Also any scripting applications like mortscript and a badly written script causing it... Also are you using AEButton plus. If so then may be a bug in one of those, still difficult to understand.
Otherwise looks like a real malware something not usually known in WM world

it "might" be the stylus....
the default in s2u2 is to ulnlock on stylus removal if your stylus get caught in you pocket
and pulls far enough out it'll unlock
but anyway check the unock options out in the s2u2 settings
beter yet stick a reply in the s2u2 post and see if anyone else hase a silmilar problem
TC,
Or uninstall that screen-lock application and see if the problem still occurs. If it still occurs, you now know it's nothing to do with the App and perhaps indicates a bigger issue.
Cheers.
Stupid question, but are you locking your screen by pressing and holding the Hang Up key in the bottom right corner?
I find the only way to fully lock the screen to stop the kind of activation you are talking about is to press and hold Hang Up key to lock it.
Then pull out the stylus to unlock, or press the Answer Key followed by the then-displayed unlock key.
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue.
My version of s2u2 is 1.62.
I just changed the option in s2u2 to avoid the phone to turn on when removing the stilus...I will wait and see
Hi,
Even after I have changed the option in s2u2 to avoid the phone to turn on when removing the stilus it seams my phone is still makes some unwanted callings...
Any idea???
typing seems to messed up lately buttons get get pressed makes ms feel like itisn't working correctly
anyone get the same issue ?
i have the same issue sometimes. it happens if the phone is very cold, if its connected to pc or mains charger or if the battery is 15% or below. i uninstalled the sensitivity tweak which helped a bit

It might be worth realigning the screen. Go to Settings/Menu/All Settings then select the System icon, and then 'Screen/Align Screen'
You will get the old Windows Mobile 'crosshair' alignment screen which was originally designed for stylus input, but using the normal part of your finger that you'd use for typing, just press over the crosshairs. This may or may not help!
I'm finding that typing is OK, provided I have "aligned" the screen.
However when switching from portrait to landscape alignment goes out of whack. Ok when reverted back to portrait. Also following a soft reset, or switching phone off, a re-alignment of screen is required.
Does the device store the alignment info, or is it reset after each reboot?
Also does device store an alignment profile for both portrait and landscape?
Anyone else notice this, and is there a fix?
Hi,
I am after some help please, preferably without reinstalling all over again (root etc).
If i leave my phone to lock after a few minutes of inactivity, the screen stops responding but everything else works:
All hardware buttons work
AOD - works, I can press notifications and the app opens, or hardpress the bottom home button to get to the home screen, but the screen wont respond after.
Fingerprint scanner - works, it bypasses the lock screen but nothing responds
DEX - phone completely responsive via keyboard and mouse
Soft reset - everything works until it has no activity again.
Safe mode - exactly the same, so seems not to be app related.
Just the screen wont respond after passing AOD but phone otherwise functional. Not dropped, no water damage - all good there.
Anyone gone through similar?
Cheers
Good lock 2018 - lock star
Interesting - after spending nearly all day playing about and deciding to post, i remembered there was a lockstar update for me this morning. I disabled the lock screen i built and the phone has been find since. I'll un-install and re-install it, and re-test should someone else have a problem with it and follow up.
Reinstalling LockStar fixed the problem. Case closed.
