Hello,
These last days I had a lot of problems to align the screen of my Samsung Omni Addict player I900. The problem is that the touch screen is not centered anymore and it does not react when I press something on the screen.
To solve the problem I wanted to make a hard reset by using the following key combination "*2767*3855#".
My biggest problem is that, by mistake, I did lock the screen and keys of the phone and then when I press any key, my phone ask me to press the "Unlock" option on the screen, but I cannot do it as the touch screen does not react correctly.
I'm wondering if there is any possibility to edit the register to be able to unlock it.
Any other ideas are welcome. I'm blocked on this problem for two days now
Thanks in advance for your help,
Alain
Maybe I'm missing something but... can't you just soft reset it? I don't think it will boot up screen-locked....
Soft reset didn't help but after multiple tries I managed to do an hard reset which did solve the problem.
The problem I'm facing to now is that I cannot align the screen. As recommanded in different posts in this forum I have changed the CalibrationData value in the registery but still, after following the "align screen" procedure the screen does not react correctly. To be able to move forward I would like to be able to activate the mouse cursor. Do you know how could I activate it by changing a value in the registery?
If not I will create a new post with this question.
Thanks in advance.
Alain.
I'm sorry, haven't had an i900 in my hands for a while now, I don't remember which reg key you need

Strange problem here. My keys used to remain locked when the device turned off after 3 mins. I liked it that way cause if I had my 9100 in a bag or pocket there wasn't any danger of pressing keys on the screen after a call I didn't take or a message I received but didn't read.
After my device hang once and I rebooted (soft reset), the keys are unlocking after I turn it on (or if it turns on by some kind of event). This is frustrating because things might be pressed on the screen... But I don't want to do a hard-reset.
Is there a registery setting it might have been altered? Did anyone have the same problem? Where should I look?
Thanks in advance,
Constantine.
Hi guys,
I'm very new to pda's/smartphones 'n stuff, so be gentle.
I have a Touch Dual since few days, and the one thing that irritates me is the keyboard backlight. When typing an sms the lights go off just after 8 seconds or so... That's too fast for me, I still have to get used to having a qwerty keypad on my phone.
to be clear: I don't mean the backlight on the display itself, buy the light beneath the keypad when open.
Is there a registry setting, or a tweak/application that could correct this for me?
Thnx in advance,
Lukas
same problem here...
You could try the most excellent KaiserTweak, I've found most of its tweaks to be compatible with my Nike, haven't tried the backlight though -> http://www.jongma.org/KaiserTweak/
yes try the kaiserTweak. it's under option Keyboard->backlight. The default value is 10 sec. you can up the time to more in the tweak.
Downloaded the tweak app, changed the keyboard setting and a bunch of other interesting settings (because I'm a curious idiot in case someone asks) and now the device kind of hangs on the password screen... I can't unlock anymore.
The device reacts to taps and both screen and keypad input. Also, if I type the wrong password I get the obvious error message. If I type the correct passcode, and tap 'unlock' then nothing happens and after a minute or so the * disappear and I can start over again..
Is this a known bug?
What do I do now? Hard reset? That will wipe out all my settings and files right?
Thnx
Lukas
please help... Hard reset did not help. Device is still unresponsive...
This are the numbers I get when the device is booting:
M 04
B 04
R 1.58.16.27
G 25.61.30.03H
D 1.31
just want to make sure you did your hard reset correctly. how did you do it exactly? the button by the battery after you remove the back cover?
I took this from the manual because from what you described. doesn't sound like you did it correctly. a hard reset should put it back to its factory setting.
Hard reset
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings -‑ the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the left side of your device.
2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons until you see the following message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press ENTER to restore manufacturer defaults, or press any other button to cancel.
3. Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your device.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
Hi Fatlove...
Indeed you're right. And I did read my manual. And I did it EXACTLY like stated in the manual.
This is what I posted in the General forum:
Ok,
This is going to be stupid, but I'll admit to it anyway...
I've read in the manual on how to perform a hard rest. It states to push the send and end buttons, keep the pushed in, and then press the soft reset button until a text appears on the screen. That text states to press "Enter" to continue, and any other key to cancel.
Well, the 'Enter' key to me is the 'enter' key on that qwerty keypad, not the shiny silver button between the Send and End buttons.
To the writer of the manual the enter key on the keypad does not exist.
So that's why a hard reset did not help. Because I did not perform one.
My bad. Anyways, my phone is ok again, sorry for the doublepost.
Grtz
Lukas
Anyways, thnx for the reply, and for the record: the keypad backlight still doesn't work after har reset and re-applying the keiser tweak. Still lit only 8 seconds or so. Does it matter that I copied the Keiser executable to my storage card? It doesn't have to be on the device itself now, does it?
Thnx again.
Lukas
Nope.. kaisertweak is not working for this property (Keyboard backlight)
Anyone
I tried several Registry settings but nothing worked so far.
Anyone else had succes?
Still no solution for this problem?
It's pretty annoying
I tried changing values in the registry as well, but nothing worked. So I'm also interested in a possible solution...
Damn, I hate that light turning off that quick. There must be a solution
I also have been trying a lot of registry settings without solutions
Anybody knows?
I tried this kaiser tweak on my dual and it had no effect. Had to remove it.
kaiser tweak had no effect on my dual either..
qwerty key board
hello i have the htc touch pro and my external keyboard light go's off in about 3 sec does anybody now how to get the time longer
I've the same problem, keyboard backlight stops after about 8 seconds
I tried some register settins and also with Advanced Configuration Tool (Julien Schapman), but no result.
Hope somebody can fix this
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,
For two days i have some screen problems. My touchscreen does not react on touch. If i use the buttons it works but on the screen it doesn't. Sometimes it does work for a few minutes.
The buttons always work (but ther are just a few buttons )
Anyone knows what to do?
Have the same problem. The touch screen goes dead but the buttons below works.
Anyone knows how to rectify this problem?
I had a HTC Touch earlier also and had to give that for repair for the same problem.
I have the same problem with mine, hopefully someone have a solution for this would be very appreciated.
MrQ
Anyone found a solution to this?
My new HTC also now is facing the same issue. The touch screen has gone totally invalid. The bottom buttons work but the touch screen does not. The other big problem now i have is that the phone is locked and i am unable to unlock it.
GOD, if there is a GOD, save my HTC.
I presume you've done soft resets to the phone and it doesn't fix the problem.
Have you flashed any ROM to your Touch? What ROM did you flash if you have? See if it's a common problem with flashed ROM's.
If not, and you're on generic ROM, try to do a hard-reset and see if it fixes the problem. (Hold down both green and red button and poke the reset button while still holding down the 2 buttons). You will lose all the data on your Touch.
If doing a hard-reset on a generic ROM still doesn't fix the problem, then I'm afraid you have a HW problem. Send it in for repair if it's still under warranty.
well u can also try this, it may be because of pressure setting for the screen
"install a reg editing software like PHM and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then DRIVERS and then TOUCH PANEL; now change the value of PRESSURE THRESHOLD. Remember to increase the valur only, try doubling the value acc to ur need"
If you don't have any warranty and a hard reset didn't work (note if you hard reset and it doesn't work you will be stuck at the screen alignment) then you may be facing a defective digitizer. If you are brave you can take a look at this link (complete dissasembly of Elf)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407323
to study how to take your device apart to replace the digitizer yourself.
hello ive searched everywhere is there an app or tweak for hd2 im annoyed that when on a call i keep pressing the on screen buttons is there anything i can do to stop this thanks..
The light sensor on the HD2 should turn the screen off automatically so that you don't press anything. That being said maybe you have a problem with your sensor so make sure it works, if it doesn't then try flashing another rom or call HTC.
Hope this helps.
master reset

you try a master reset befor you anything bigger in your phone, sometimes is always very easy but since you can't find it just do a master reset.
start,-settings-security-factory reset hope this work
same problem here, hard reset didn't change anything.
maybe you want to try this (stops working after soft reset, until i re-install) or this (also doesn't work right for me).
maybe one of theses two works for you.
the last option would be to go to \Windows\Lockscreen and rename the "LS_PhoneCallScene_480x800.cpr" (brings back the default wm 6.5 lockscreen) and then lock the device (windows button --> lock) on each call.
This app can help you.
