MY Telus Vogue touch screen just stopped working . No matter what I do the screen wont respond. I even reloaded Telus 6.1 again ,and still I cant even get past the setup screen which needs touch screen to proceed. Does any one know what I can do to fix this?
The digitizer has quit. The same thing my Vogue just did. Its time for a warranty replacement, insurance, or to buy another digitizer on ebay. They run around $40 USD.
In the mean time if you need to use your phone. Download My Mobiler (www.mymobiler.com) to control it from your PC.

I just bought a wing cheap and the problem was that even after a hard reset you could not get past the touch screen to set up since it wont recognize you touching the screen. I figured it would be a quick fix since i have fixed my 8925 and 8125 countless times. Turns out I am out of ideas anyone have any suggestions?

The person that sold you the phone obviously lied about something. There is a reason why you got it for dirt cheap. Just go eBay a new screen and install it yourself. Since you don't need a lcd replacement, just look for that touch screen replacement part.
The touch layer usually goes bad first. They're seperate from the LCD because the manufactures know they'll need to be replaced. People like to tap the screen like they're trying to impale the phone. (P.S. Never let your girlfriend use your stylus.) If going to bootloader and reflashing doesnt work, Albert's plan is the best. They usually go for $40 or so.
I just purchased a replacement screen for my brothers wing. Buy it now price for the touch was $17.99, and it comes with the necessary tools.
SWEET!!!!! I might just buy a spare now! Thanks for the info.
7.99 plus 10 shipping. not too shabby i say
I need a replacement windows PDA phone for my lost wizard... and i have a friend willing to sell his 8525 for $50... the downside...
according to his is... his touch screen works half the time.... something about working on a full charge... or not working on a full charge... and when its halfway charged... it does the opposite... etc etc...
he said the screen lights up just does not respond to the touches under the above mentioned conditions.
i did a search over here and HOFO.... and have noticed alot of people have problems with the top right corner of the screen (portrait) being stuck and closing out apps.... or launching the start menu repetedly...
and there isnt really a fix?....
is 50$ still a good deal?.... will a replacement screen and digitizer fix it?.... which is around another $50 i believe?
or should i buy one from ebay... they are selling for around 170-200$ shipped.... or is this a problem that plagues all 8525 hermes eventually?.. and i shouldnt bother with this model... and go back to the wizard or get something else?
The Hermes is a really great phone (I passed on getting a Kaiser, as it didn't offer enough of an upgrade), but I don't know if I would personally buy one in that's having issues like that.
50 bucks isn't bad, though. I might bite for that price.
I've had no screen issues over the last 1 1/2 years. I just saw a used 8525 sell for $181 on ebay...it's a great scalable device!
Alright.. i got a hold of the phone.....
everything seems great.... touchscreen was working... but as soon as i went to charge the battery.... and took it off charge once it was filled up to 80%, the touch screen stopped responding...
and i also did a hard reset ... and the screen still isnt responding.... and i cant pass green setup screen that asks me to tap the screen to continue.
any way to bypass this screen?... i dont mind using the phone with only the buttons...
and do you think this is battery related?.... the prev. owner said something about... leaving the battery to cool over night... and pop it back in... and touchscreen should respond again....
any suggestions?... thank you.
Find the program "Remote Screen Alignment". If you can get the Hermes to screen alignment to work, you can save the settings to your pc then if you reflash an os or have to hard reset you don't need the touchscreen. Try taking the battery out overnight and see if you can do the alignment then. Once past the screen alignment you can operate the Hermes using the buttons BUT you need to first get past the alignment settings.
Alternatively, if you know someone with the same Hermes you can get the Alignment settings off their phone. You need the above app.
Cheers...
if your looking for a screen, i have a screen complete with digitiser for sale? PERFECTLY working
i can also throw in a ribbon cable which works but only displays colours in 4bit mode!
PM me if you want the screen

well its not even the screen alignment screen that im stuck at....
when you do a hardboot.... the FIRST splash screen that shows up after the ATT stuff
its a green screen that says windows mobile DIRECT PUSH... and it says
"please tap the screen to continue etc etc"
will that program help me get past that?....
and the battery is out of the case right now... and im in school..., hopefully by the time i get back home it should work.

well... i see that you live in the UK... it might not be favorable purchasing it from you...
and tihs ribbon cable that you speak of.... do i need one for the isntalation of the screen?... and the one you have isnt made for this phone right?
Alright guys... so pretty much what the previous owner says checks out..
the phones touchscreen started responding to touches on a cold battery that was sitting for a few hours....
as soon as i begin to charge and the batter warms up... or the phone warms up.. im not sure... the touchpad stops responding.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?...
is this an issue with the battery or the touchscreen?...
aside from that.... this phone is fantastic!
Hi there
I am in the UK, and the screen has in fact been removed from a cingular 8525 i cannabilised for the d-pad board, the screen works perfectly and the ribbon cable will of course fit your phone.
I am willing to ship to the USA, and in fact i regularly do, only recently i just sold a little rubber dust cap for the hermes on these forums and its on his way to him right now. if you can pay via paypal your more than welcome!
Not the battery. The battery only supplies power to the mainboard and through that to the lcd. If the battery was at fault then you wouldn't be able to start up. It sounds like you may have heat problems with either the lcd ribbon or with with the flex ribbon connecting the top part of your phone to the mainboard. If I was you I'd check out Mike Channon's site as he is the MASTER of Hermes hardware and if you don't find a solution you can PM him. Heres a link to his site - http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/

id buy it and sell the parts on ebay
Hey guys, my freind had a sprint Vogue and the touch screen quit working so he gave it to me. Every thing works fine but that. Iv hard reset, reflashed,tried to operate it through MyMobiler, banged it on the computer desk. Nothing works. any ideas or do I just have a new paper weight? Hes already went to sprint and said he lost it and got a new one so sprint will be no help. I really just wanted it for a genuia pig. but its no use when its stuck at the setup screen.
Thanks
Had this problem before, I remember turning the power on, trying the screen, turning it off, on trying again and etc... it worked after a few rigorous tries.
Iv turned it on and off probably 100 times and still no luck. plus the hard reset and reflash
You could try replacing the screen with a spare part from...somewhere. Not much more I can say, that's about as far as my knowledge goes.
Thanks, Im hoping it dont come to that
Sounds like a dead digitizer. You're going to have to either find a new digitizer and going through the hassle of replacing it or replace the entire screen.
which part is the digitizer. I had the same problem with my vogue and bought a part off ebay which i was 99% sure was the problem. its the small electrical board underneath the dpad. There is a connection that the ribbon from the outer screen connects too.. Does anyone know where i can find a replacement for that part. The one I got from ebay looked exactly like the one from my vogue but when i plugged it in it would cause my phone to shut off. They said it was for the GSM touch not the CDMA
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
Snowboarding yesterday in VT and my phone got water damage.
I let it dry out in a bag of rice overnight, bought a new battery (wasn't working with the original one), reinstalled my ROM and it seems to be working except that the touch screen isn't responding.
To fix this i need to install a new "digitizer"?
I'm making sure this is the part i need before i order it thanks.
I can't get past 'touch screen to begin' or else i would live with no touch screen for a few weeks until i qualify for a upgrade with tmobile.
I didn't mention that the screen isn't cracked. It just don't respond to touches.
Is all i need a digitizer? or the entire LCD?
most likely the digitizer. you should download the g1 service manual. i duno where its at. i have one on my laptop. let me know if you want me to send it to you. best of luck
i am having a similar issue with my g1,ive replaced the digitizer and still have the same issue
IMHO I would not spend any money on the phone because there could be other issues with it as well. The issues may not arise right now but they might in 2 weeks or months .. I would buy a new one or used..
Just may save you money in the long run.
