i have a O2 mini and for the past couple of days the screen alignment goes for a haywire especially on the left side each time i press the power button to get to my today screen. it returns to normal when i align the screen again but its frustrating to do it all the time..i have a screen protector.. i took that out and reinstalled it again but the same problem is still there.. any suggestions wud be more than welcome.. m getting desperate abt this as i spend a fortune on the phone..
I have the 8125 and tonight i go to answer a phone call. When i got off the phone mysteriously the touch part of the screen no longer works. I tried a soft reset, a hard reset, removing the battery.... I cannot get the touch part of the screen to work. You can see whats on screen but there is no touch functionality. Anyone have any ideas?
remote screen aligment
i had the same problem the touchscreen stopped working suddently. im assuming that you can get pass the touch the screen to set up you device so what i did i downloaded a program called "remote screen aligment" that the only way you are going to be able to pass the first screen. hope this helps. google it to find the program its free.

Mine did this when I was CID-unlocking and had mismatching IPL/SPL versions. I found that by drawing a circle around the alignment cursor with the stylus I was able to get past this screen.
Not working touch screen / broken replacement ...
Center of my XDA miniS touchscreen stopped to work almost 3 weeks ago...
I sent my (lovely) PDA to O2 UK two weeks ago and today I received FAULTY replacement!
(very good known and common issue - "stylus is very loose and keeps falling out")
I've just sent another e-mail to O2's Customer Services and I'm waiting for reply...
I'm so angry and disappointed!
Regards
anyone find a solution
My touch screen gave out yesterday...I am getting very good at using my 8125 without the touch screen but a few programs require it. If anyone has found a solution please let be know because it would be a very happy man. Thanks for reading!
Please Help! The touchscreen on my WING stopped responding but everything else functioned well, so I kept on using it with the hardware buttons. I was still keen to sort out the root problem and one of the suggestions I got from this forum was to do a hard reset.
After the hard reset, the touchscreen is still not responding, but the phone prompts me to align the screen, I have failed to get past this as it requires the use of the touchscreen. I would rather still use my WING without the touchscreen as where I am located its almost impossible to get a replacement screen which I now believe is the permanent solution.
Is there any way that I can bypass the align screen so I can at least still use the phone?
The same thing happened to me once, and I had to return it and get a new one from Tmo
Thanks David, but am in Africa and it was sent it to me as gift. I don't have many options available apart from this forum..
oh no! Well, that sucks man. I don't know what to tell you.
Hello
i've got en elf but it is stuck at the align screen.
i searched the forum for many day's and i found out that the digitizer probably is broken.
So i bought an new one an installed it with this manual
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407323
great manual by the way
I also installed a new housing
I installed one of the new roms
But it is still stuck on the align screen$
I have a constant loop
first middle cross, then the 4 corners and then back to the middle
i installed a program to override the align screen and then the i can use the phone but when i tap the touch screen it is not the place i tapped that opens because it is not aligned
What can i do because i am all out of answers
ps there is no warrenty anymore

it could be the touchscreen
LCD and touchscreen are not the same
some models heve them separated,some not
as i could see elf has
touchscreen pic1
LCD pic2
so try replacing the touchscreen they are few dollars on ebay
Or if you want, you can have somebody cook a ROM for you that bypasses the screen alignment part.

i doubt it's the software,because he said he tried some roms
and bypassing screen align can make phone unuseable,so....

Yea, but even though, he can still use the phone without the touch screen before he gets it replaced.

well if it was artemis...he could (arte has a mouse pointer)
but elf lacks the buttons,so using it without touch will be tricky
Hello

but the new has the same problem

When your PPC is at the alignment part of the start up process simply plug it into your computer and let activesync run. You do not need to set up a partnership at this time to do this.
Explore your PPC and go to the windows folder and then to the startup folder and delete the welcome file in there.
Soft reset your PPC and you are good to go!
I had an IPAQ for years that had a bad spot in the middle of the screen and this is the only way I have found to bypass the alignment.
I am stuck on the align screen in a loop as well. What program did you write to skip the screen. I am not able to use the phone because of that. I am really terribly stuck. Please help. Thanks.
I hear placing a blank text file named "welcome" with the extension ".not" on the root of your SD card after hard resetting will bypass the Windows Mobile setup. And until you get your screen repaired (if ever) and if you have a working DPAD, then you can download a free, configurable mouse cursor here. Just go the the third post and click on the attachment I posted.

Well,
For what it's worth,
I found out on my brother's Qtek S200 that was also in a loop, that it automatically passed the align screen after some 15 times.
Later I found this in the registry:
HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Touch\MaxCallError(=16)
So I assume you can tick the align screen 16 times before it continues?
it works!!
It started happening maybe 2 days ago. Im running the newest version of Hyperdroid and have never had any problems. Whenever i turn my phone on and attempt to unlock it by either sliding the tab, turning the dial, or sliding the lense down, the screen doesnt respond to my touch. I have to try like 3 times before i can finally unlock my phone, its super annoying.
Anyone have a fix for this or advice?
Thanks!!
Set my phone to "menu unlock" but when i put menu, the touchscreen wont work! It's getting really frustrating. Could the phone be going bad?
UPDATE: now my touchscreen wont work at all! pretty much my phone is useless now. anyone help?

Your digitizer is dead. If you are still under warranty, I suggest you flash back your WM stock and send your phone back in for repair. Unfortunately, there is no other way around this. Read here for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12105680&postcount=1
