Yeah - you calibrate it with your fingers. What's not to understand? Hold the phone as if you are about to type on the on-screen keyboard, and calibrate it using your thumbs, so it's as natural as possible.
ok with calibration procedure .
but this calibration screen never goes away ......
have to soft reset device ......

For some reason it does seem to fail sometimes. Just do it again. I've had to do it a few times before now, but it does work when you get "it" right (whatever "it" is!)
Dont press the screen too much, touch it as lightly as possible...
Thanks !
at last screen calibration worked .................
delete this post plz... already solved! sry

I think i downloaded something bad from the "Market" because when i go to turn on the phone, all i get is a black screen and the buttons light up.
I have already attempted to reset it with the Home and Power buttons
I think all i need is a firmware reflash....
please help! i really dont want to send it in to HTC!!!!
Have you tried hard reset? Call+Menu+End If that doesn't work, pull the battery.

just take the battery out...wait 3 -seconds and put it back in...its happened to me 3 times b4...not sure of the cause but thats the remedy
Turns out to be a Bad ribbon!
the same exact thing happened to me....i called tmobile n they replace my phone free of charge. what do u mean bad ribbon?
The ribbon phone for the LCD display. Phones that have slide outscreens put alot of wear on ribbon cables. My mda vario screen and touch screen both started going faulty after a year.
Once a good onscreen keyboard comes out, we wont have to slide out the screen so much

Take the battery out. Pop it back in. Hold down both volume up and down and tap the power button (don't hold the power button down though). You should then boot into a menu where you can do a hard reset.
On a similar note though I used to look after some old Windows CE devices that would do the same thing if you clicked too far away from the cross, never tried it on my HD though!

When you hard reset the device, everything is wiped on device apart from OS, so you need to align screen at start to be able to use device once automatic setup has completed.
There is another option as Throys latest roms, R6 & R7 has a complete automatic setup and there is no align screen. You could always try one of these

Not to state obvious but have you tried to recalibrate it? Or perform a hard reset?
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, I did a recalibration and this is very strange, first when I finish the calibration, then it restart from the beginning and I have to recalibrate 3 or 4 times before it exit the calibration tool. Then the device works normally, but few minutes later, this is the same, recalibration is lost. I did a hard reset and even change the ROM, but it is the same.
I do not know what to do
I see also after a reboot, the calibration is good again, but this is not always the case.
What can I do ?
Thanks
Denis

Sounds like a faulty device. Flash back to stock rom
& SPL if you haven't already and return under warranty.
Hi,
thanks for the answer.
I flashed back to the original ROM and I think this has also set the original SPL, but I am not sure. How can I check this ?
When starting up the device I can see :
R 1.13.25.24
G 52.62.25.34U
D 1.56 .00 .00
Is it correct ?
Thanks

Go into bootloader to check SPL, i.e.
Turn off phone
Hold vol down
Turn on phone while continuing to hold vol down
You should enter a tri-colour screen. This is bootloader and it should state your SPL
ok, you're right, the SPL was wrong, I set it back to 1.13.
I resintalled the ROM and now I fell down on a loop in the alignement screen
I will send the device to repair...
thanks

When you do a calibration, how accurately you tap the cross-hair dictates if the digitizer senses a second or third calibration is necessary. Most people tend to blow this off and use either a finger or fingernail to do the calibration. The digitizer gets the most accurate tap when a stylus is used. You might want to try using a stylus OR you can try the following modified registry hack which comes from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4998396&postcount=1
REGISTRY HACK TO ELIMINATE EFFECTS OF FIRST CALIBRATION
Using your favorite Registry program, navigate to HKLM:
1. HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap\Keybd
2. Look for the entry named: FirstCalibration
3. If it's there, you can do one of two things: first, delete it; or second, change the dword value from 1 to 0.
4. If entry does not exist, you can create the dword FirstCalibration and give it a binary value of zero
5. Do a soft reset. It is recommended that a manual soft reset using your stylus is used as opposed to a softreset program. I have tested this hack on my device. As per the original post, some soft reset programs would not allow the Registry hack to take.
It is implied (or maybe I read it in a subsequent reply to this post/thread) that most digitizers are accurate enough without a calibration. Should you find that your screen when tapped is not accurate, you can always do a screen calibration later.
Historical Info
When PDAs first came out, digitizers were not as accurate as today's versions which mandated calibrations. Often on my first iPaq, which I bought when Compaq first built them, two or more calibrations were necessary because the digitizers were of poor quality. Part of the initial first set-up screen was a mandatory calibrate screen.
A Compaq engineer I chatted with stressed getting the first two if not all four taps as accurately as possible. He claimed that if all four were done in the center of the cross-hair's dot, a second calibration would not be necessary. What ticked me off is that the second calibration tap is often obscured or hidden by the onscreen words of the calibration statement.
Current Info from three smartphones
With today's digitizers, I have never had to calibrate my Dell x51V Axim. In fact on three smartphones I have either purchased or helped with the purchase thereof, I have never seen a calibrate screen when the phone is initialized out of the box new. The only time I have a calibration screen is when a Mass Clear is performed or the ROM is restored off the SD card.
Based upon usage, I believe that today's digitizers accurate out of the box and that the problem may be caused by either flashed ROMs or apps that are causing interference.
Try the hack and see if that works. Good luck and we're all counting on you!
Hi,
Unfortunately, i think the problem is hardware. I always use the stylus for calibration. Now I can't go out of the calibration window...
And this is not a ROM issue as I flash the original one from HTC, and during the fist boot, it ask for the calibration and I can't go further (loop in this tool).
I will send my device to repair... it is on warranty.
Thanks for the info

I think in the thread I quoted there is a way to break out of the calibration screen which makes it skipped. Since it will take you a day or two to get the device ready to be shipped or repaired, you could read that thread as the Registry hack could be the trick. . .
thanks man ill try this and anwer back in hours
Wow i've made teh replacement in reg, it is worst, and after nother hard reset it kept the same values in reg, how can i o a complete flash, with all settings back to defaults ?
I had exactly same problem and I sent my device to repair ... they changed touchscreen and now it's ok
Have u tried re-calibrating it? if you cant go to the menu because of the loss of calibration just hold Up + Down of the volume keys and then tap the screen. (this is do be done while phone is already on)
Hello you all
I've got a strange problem with my HDmini :
Sometimes, the screen stops responding !
I can touch any button, the screen in any place, nothing happens.
I only have to remove the battery ( because thre is no reset ).
After strated again, when PIN code is asked, if a tap on "3" for exemple, it is like if i have tapped on "6" ; if i tap on "erase", i see "cancel" highlighted !
And after a few minutes, everything becomes normal again.
An idea ?
Did you install any cab or custom settings?
Yes, i'm using throttlelauncher with WP7 theme but when the screen is stuck, i have two choices :
Remove the battery to start again, without throttlelauncher started .
Restart the HTC with Mymobiler if the HDmini is connected.
At the end, the problem stays on.
I only have to wait for some time and then the touchscreen works again... by itself !
I haven't tried Throttlelauncher yet. I don't know if that can be the possible culprit.
Bart3385
For example, yesterday and today everything was OK and 5 minutes ago, the screen has stuck again !
Nothing possible to do on the screen neither with the 5 keys at the bottom !
I have to connect the HDmini to the PC and reboot it with my mobiler;
then i can use the screen interface.
It seems that the problem is the touch screen !

Maybe your device is blocking so hard that your keys and screen both don't work anymore. I have had that too once Maybe Trottle causes this?
Madmatt
The problem is to be sure that a software is the problem origin; before i ask for the PDA to be replaced by my operator.
Try to do hard reset. Install only the basic stuff. (Minus Throttlelauncher.) See if the phone goes back to normal.

That's a possible option.
Somehow, i'm not allowed to make that kind of suggestion anymore. Someone keeps on following me and make a mockery whenever i mention anything like that.
Anyway, try to check software problem first. As i first did on my own device. Before i've ascertained it is defective hardware.

It is normal, sometimes, it doesn't respond, lame htc hd mini. I have this problem long ago.
Thank's for your suggestions.
Today, the phone is completly stuck.
That's why i don't think it is a software problem.
I can' even entry the PIN code.
i've tried a Hard reset, to flash back to Original Rom = nothing more.
So i've asked Orange for an exchange under garanty...
That's a good move.
In some areas, a high percentage of units need replacement.
Is there a fix for this? No matter what rom I use, Didn't try Froyo, but after receiving a call, the screen stays black, so I spam the hard keys to wake the screen after about a minute or so. Can anyone help?

If you push the End button (or any other button) before clean the screen, what happens. Does the screen stays black???
I think that this is a software problem, because other ways every time when I press the End button (or any other button) it will give me Nothing.

I have the exact same problem. I am using the SD card android version. I've tried different ROMs, but with all I have this problem. When I boot into WinMo I don't have this problem at all, so it doesn't seem to be hardware related.
I can use the phone with anything else without any problem using the SD android version, only when I recieve a call or call out myself the screen blacks out and the phone seems unresponsive. After about 30 seconds to a minute the phone shows the lock screen.
I would love to work with the Android version for normal operation but because of this I still boot into Winmo within office hours...

Your better off doing what I did. In Android, sonewhere in the settings for calling, change the sensor to off so it never blacks out. In Miui rom its in program's, then calls.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
Task 29 and start fresh. Only thing that got rid of it, test when you first start the rom to make sure it works normal, then start adding your apps and such.
Or increase the 125mhz CPU settings to 245mhz under cyanogenmod settings/performance/CPU or governor settings.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
my screen stay black (off) when i take the phone away from my face EVERY call as well. this is what i do and it works everytime.
1.)pull the phone away from my face (duh)
2.)starting with it facing the sky, i turn it to face the floor (when i say facing i mean screen up ... then screen down)
3.)as soon as i turn it back over (screen face up) it turns on
im thinking its a sensor issue??? either way it works and i dont go on a hardware button mash fest to turn my precious leo back on.
if this helps please send thanks ... if not tell me im crazy :-D

But I think it's hardware problem (may be with the sensor), because when I turn back on Win Mobile 6.5 i have the same problen ...
I think to bring the phone to service
... when I take it back will tell you what is exactly the problem ...
Task 29 then install windows, next install the right radio version , finally install the android
like dragonovus say´s try completly reinstalling android.
and please feedback here
BUILD.PROP baby!!! there is a tweak for this and i believe it works( in the prop ) dont know exact address but google "build prop tweaks" also use setCPU and set the lower number to about 350+ also try to use the end hardware button less cuz this has been addressed in another thread..... the button sticks or sum crap..... i use zmooth and never use the red end button........... good luck
Will try all, but now I use ' Screen stays on '

well ... for me Screebl Lite didn't help me
Reinstalling Windows is not necessary. Just make sure you have the right Radio and HSPL then do a task 29 before installing Android. But your problem is most likely hardware related. The end call button is most used and therefore prown the wear and tear... Try using the red end cal softbutton. I guess you only have that problem when you use the hardware button right?
In that case it's the problem with the button and not the software...
And at the end did anyone of u solved this? If u need help post reply or pm me. I think i have a solution for u.

Yes, man! I have the HSPL2.08 and radio 2.15.50.14 ... I think we all do. I can't use the soft buttons, because I can't see them. That's is the problem. The screen is black and won't lights up. May be I can't read you ... but I try to run back Win Mobile just to check is it from android OS or the sensor...
build.prop does not help
I tried the build.prop thing. I added those 2 lines at the end of the file:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
mot.proximity.delay=25
No change, still a black screen after any call.
Any other idea ? How to completely deactivate the proximity sensor ?
Fixed !
I finally fixed the issue by removing the screen protector sheet and cleaning the upper left part of the screen with a dry towel.
It works fine now. It was just a problem of the proximity sensor not being exposed enough.
I hope this helps.
