Long and short of it, I want to know where the alignment settings for HTC touch are kept and if there is a program that automatically restores or force sets those alignment settings regardless of changes made.
You see I'm currently reloading software into my brothers HTC Touch Elfin.
I find myself doing this for the 3rd time in 3 months as a result of the touch screen alignment going completely insane and ending up almost entirely out of scope of the touch screens defined area. (My brother some how managed to operate his phone for a month with half his touch screen inactive lol)
So, I've been hard resetting the device and realigning on Initial Setup as a work around as i can't get to the alignment settings in the control panel.
I can't keep having to reload software all the time as it gets very time consuming and I really want to sell this phone off as my brother no longer uses it.
LMFAO as i was writing this, low and behold, touch screen just de-aligned itself.
I attempted a suggestion in the touch diamond forum to replace my biotouch.exe.
Didn't make a difference at first but i came back to the phone an hour later and its touch screen is re-aligned. :/

Hey guys have used search high and low, and cant seem to find the answer to my current problem, i just recently bought a jasjam, and i love pretty much everything about it, but when the ROM was changed the owner said that the touch screen stopped working. Apparently it was fine before the change, but that it didnt work after. So i figured that it was a software issue, loaded the latest SPL, and relaoded another ROM on the pda. Now the toush screen still doesnt work, but i have noticed that you can tap the screen when asked to get to calibration screen, and tapping the screen will also turn the back light on, but i am unable to calibrate the phone touch screen after the initial tap.
i have since loaded remote screen calibrator, and skip calibrate, and the phone seen to run well, except for the touch screen, on that note i have noticed also that the touch screen will accept one tap when loaded to the today screen, then stop working, i have hard reset, soft rest, changed to latest SPL, and the latest ROM from the forum.
Could it still just be a dodgy touch screen, or does it sound like a software prob to you guys, thanx heaps for the time

Hey guys have had a look round the web, and i get the feeling that perhaps the touch screen driver is screwed and was wondering if there is a way of checking, by replacing just the touch screen driver? i have placed a number of different ROMs on the phone and none of them make any difference to the non working of the touch part.
if someone could let me know if i am wrong in my thinking please let me know
thanx heaps
peace Trix
Anyone?
thanx in advance

I have a Sprint Touch [Vogue]. It has served me very well up until recently.
One day, I was using my phone normally when the battery died. No big deal right?
Well, I charge my phone and reboot it. For some reason, Windows is EXTREMELY slow and unresponsive. I figure that something vital had been corrupted by the battery's death, and that it was nothing that a hard reset couldn't fix.
I performed a hard reset.
I let the utilities for the first boot run to customize the phone. Everything seemed pretty much normal. I configured my settings, re-added my contacts, etc. Then I turned the screen off [with the power button].
I turn it back on later to do something. I touch the screen. It immediately and accurately detects the touch's location, but it continues detecting a touch. For 20-30 seconds, after the input has stopped.
It was strange, so I soft reset the device. It booted, with the same problem. So I performed another hard reset. I did some configuration [the response acting normal at this point], and then turned the screen off. Turning it back on brought the same problem back.
This problem still exists on my phone, even after numerous hard resets and even ROM flashes.
A better description of the problem: When the device is first turned back on [meaning brought out of standby], its touch response is messed up. It will immediately and accurately detect any touch input, but it will continue to detect the input for up to 30 seconds AFTER it has been released, as if you were holding it the whole time.
WHY is this???? My phone is almost unusable because of this!!!! I can still place/ receive calls, using the navigation buttons and the red and green buttons. But the touch response is screwed!
Can someone please shed some light on this problem I'm having?
Phone specs: Windows Mobile 6.1, HTC / Sprint customized. Minimal third party software is currently installed.
[I've already determined that third party software is not the problem, because i haven't installed any!]
Possible solution
Hi,
today I experienced something similar to your description - no touch response when I tried to pickup a call. The strange thing is that last night everything was working and no settings were modified nor programs were added/removed. The screen suddenly 'died'. At the moment I am using it through a program MyMobiler which brings the mobile display to the PC and I can use the mouse to control the phone (it is like VNC for the phone screen, the phone is connected with ActiveSync).
This is temporary solution untill I finish my backups of files, programs, settings. I didnot performed hard reset yet, hope this will solve my problem
In the following link there is a 'magical' solution - to remove the screen protector:
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1112981/LCD+or+Touch+screen+not+working
P.S. I had removed the screen protector and voilá - the screen is now touch responsive. The root cause of the problem obviously is the dust between the screen and the protector which results in constant screen pressing - and as a result no accepting my finger presses.
I hope this will work for you and others with similar problem.
I had a similar experience with an old Vogue.....In my case, there was no battery death precursor, but it just started acting up. Not too long thereafter, I noticed the screen/digitizer was forming what looked like an air bubble between the digitizer and the LCD on one place of the screen. The screen was becoming defective. I eventually had to buy another Vogue from a friend who didn't have a clue of the 6900's potential, and didn't want his anymore, so I got it cheap.
Sounds like your screen/digitizer may be on it's last leg.
Don't know if this has been posted before, but it's something you should know:

I'm having hardware problems too and I guess I have to take my phone back and wait longer than 2 weeks for it to get back
Most issue with the screen have been covered already on XDA, before sending you phone back flash back to your latest stock ROM and try the new Touch dll screen fix posted the other day, this transformed my phone completely.
Thanks for pointing me to this hotfix, missed that. Just installed it, but to be honest, I think my device has a hardware problem, because the accuracy isn't the biggest problem, it's the complete unsensitive screen that is every now and then. Then when I press hard on the htc logo the sensitivity is back, so I guess it must be a hardware problem.
But I'll be testing it the next days.
Now this is weird; the fix didn't help. But I put off any lock screen (Windows standard, Windows classic and CHT lock screen) and now I don't have any problems with hanging screen.
So is this a hardware problem or isn't it? Maybe one of the techies here can explain why I'm having screen problems with the lock screen set to on only and tell me if it's hardware or software related (because when locked pushing the screen helps)? The question is: what exactly does the lock screen option do, technically?
Hi,
i have HTC Jade 10 (t3232) with me from last three weeks i am having some touch screen (Calibration) issues, like it is not pointing out exactly when i try to calibrate
so i did hard reset, after that on first startup , it was going on and on looping on screen alignment screen, somehow i manage to skip or bypass that screen by using Remote Alignment Screen tool
i also tried and install new ROM by doing HardSPL and now screen alignment works fine on first boot
but after using my phone 5 to 10 minutes my cell phone calibration got out or changes its coordinates in registry, than i search for the calibration data of HTC JADE 100 and manually enter it in phone's registry
( Can anyone post the exact and correct values or data of Calibration for HTC JADE 100 (t3232), may be it will work. )
after inserting calibration values that i took from forum in the registry, it works fine on middle portion of phone except top and bottom portion, and this thing is going on and on
after that i research on XDA forums about this issue and came to know that i might have an issue with my screen digitizer, if i change my screen digitizer it might work again
but i am not sure whether it is a digitizer issue, touch screen issue or any software issue or what, i am very upset from last 3 weeks , any one can tell me after reading the above mentioned problems that what happened to my phone and what should i do,
your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I really like my LG E900 phone. I bought it for AT&T in the USA unlocked on Amazon. Installed Mango recently with all the firmware upodates and until today been having a lot of fun with my phone!
All of a sudden today, the touch screen seems un-responsive. The touch screen works intermitently. It starts to work then stops again. I have tried resetting the phone (have to pull battery). I wasn't doing anything when I this happended. I recently installed Tango and Livestrong mobile app, otherwise phone was flawless.
1. Is my touch screen broken?
2. Does anyone have a clue. I thought maybe the phone is running apps in backround but I can't seem to find the problem. The battery seems to drain also.
3. The phone does become operation for minutes at a time but then goes bad.
I wanted to add that the screen is also very slow at first then starts to respond normally. Almost seems to something happening in the backround. As of now, the screen is still not responding. If I continue to play with the screen, sometimes the screen starts to respond, but slowly.
thanks for help!!
In your position, I would try to:
1. Use the guaranty (if it's still active) and take it to a local service
2. Flash a different rom/firmware with all the latest updates inside and see what happens.
3. Buy a new e900...they cost less than ever nowadays...(almost 180€-190€ without a contract...)
You have got to be kidding me, the exact same thing is happening to me, and for 2 days now. I'm unbranded (I believe) on Vodafone Spain. The entire phone has become unresponsive. Drops nearly every call, has rebooted about 50 times in the last 24h.
fUnny thing is, it doesn't ever reboot when I'm actively using it, just during lock screen.
cOuld you further develop your symptoms just in case we have the same issue? Thnx

More Detail about the LG E900 WP7 Lock Screen issue
OK. SO here are the symptoms-
- Whenever I enter the lock screen, the touch is screen does not respond. TO be clear the touch screen senses I am touching the screen but the lock screen doesn't move when swipe.
Ater some research you can find the SAME EXACT error on HTC Surrround Samsung Focus. here's the youtube video. exactly as it appears except time to unlock takes about 2:30 (2 minutes 30 seconds) on my LG
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3QABdcTINc
So here is what happens and what I do
1. Again entering the lock screen, and attempting to unlock the touch doesn't reposnd to any swipes.
2. You continue to swipe and occasionaly hit the physical buttons. This keeps the lock screen on. You have to keep swiping for about 2:30. After 2:30, the touch screen just seems to respond.
3. After the touch screen responds. Nothing out of the ordinary. When I tried using IE, it seemed that IE didn't work as well. Pinch to zoom, swipes not as good. Also portions of the screen are not as responsive.
So maybe start looking for a replacement.
I've tried
- restoring previous OS and files. No change.
- Hard and factory reset. No change.
- changing the brightness setting (AUTO, low) no change
The only thing that I haven't done is upgrade/downgrade the firmware. I think that may help but not clear on what to do.
Are you using the correct charger?
I have an HP Touchpad that has a high output microUSB charger for rapid charging of the Touchpad's battery. Although it hasn't (yet?) given my e900h any troubles, I did read at least one report of a guy's Samsung phone reacting poorly with symptoms similar to yours after using the Touchpad's higher output charger.
I am using a third party USB charger. Not a high power one, but an inexpensive one from monoprice. Ok, I will try.

Still no luck. Using stock charger now. Will wait to see if any improvements. Thanks everyone.

I was one of them. This behaviour would occur with the charger connected.
I get the feeling the problem the OP and I are facing is also related to chargers, but no longer when they are connected. Charging makes no difference for me, the phone is still reacting very strange.
More Info on failiong touch screen
So
Here are more precise deets
- Whenever the backlight is turned off, the touch screen becomes non-responsive
- The touch screen notices touch but not swiping.
- in order to get the touch screen to respond you must continue touch the screen for 00:02:30 (2 minutes, 3 sec).
- the touch screen will usuallly start to respond to swipes but only a single axis (e.g. vertical or horizontal)
- after 2:30 the touch screen responds like everything is ok.
- the goal is to make sure the screen backlight stays on until the for 2:30. In some lock screen cases, you can issue a voice command, camera etc which effectly keeps the phone one (i.e backlight on) for longer without having to continuously touch.
- issues came after tangoi install and livestrong install.
- wonder if tango did something to lock screen
- also tried changing lock screen wallpaper - no changes
- when installing microsoft insider app, I tried using the wallpapers, but the apps crashes. Changing wall paper using default app works
- using default charger no changes
- received the latest update (fixed voicemail and outlook issues) - no change
I haven't been able to retore/flash NODO. That is probably what I need to do.
same problem here, new phone, original recharger and touchscreen of my optimus goes sometimes frenzy...the frequency of strange behavior raises when I fully recharge battery
i found a video on youtube, but yet i cannot send urls, because i'm new user here, u can find it if u search "problema telefono"
any1 have some solution, pls? or did u try to send the phone back to LG service?
