I have an extra d2 I want to use at home as an alarm clock (on a dock) and streaming device. I factory reset it and now I can't get around the new activation screen. Any idea as how to get around this? The touch four corners method doesn't work. The right edge of the screen doesn't respond.

It definitely works, you just have to try it several times. Be careful not to touch the Change Language or Emergency Call buttons at the bottom.
Does not work on this phone
The phone screen does not respond to touch along the right side, (in portrait oreintation) I wound up activating the phone then changing back to my actual phone.
the four corners method, does work
This is the thread that helped me get past the activation screen. Thanks so much. Thought I was going to have to junk the phone because no one seems to have found an unlock code for the phone. Great to know that we don't need an unlock to get past activation.

I recently purchased an MDA off ebay from another member on this site. They claimed everything on it was fine, but upon receiving it I found that the bottom of the screen didn't respond. After playing with the calibration I found that the bottom of the screen wasn't completely "dead" it just thinks its being tapped on a different spot of the screen. The seller claims this is a software issue, but after several flashes from different roms the problem still persists. Has anyone else seen this happen? And does this sound like a hardware issue?
I opened notes and took a picture of what happens when trying to use the scrollbar in landscape mode to show how off the calibration is at the bottom. Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this.

I had this EXACT same problem. I had the mistake of pushing down too hard while applying a screen protector and it pushed in the screen on the bottom. From that point, I could never calibrate the bottom of the screen. I was able to get a replacement, because I told Cingular that it was broken and it was only a month into my contract.
So, I think the guy probably messed up applying a screen protector or accidently somehow pushed in the bottom of the screen. This is in no way a software problem....deff hardware issue.
Thanks for the response. I filed a claim with paypal for a refund. With the way that it was packed I'm amazed the phone works at all!
Im sorry to hear someone trying to get over on you. Hope everything works out.
Guys,
I like to check with you all whether any solution for the below problem :
Every time I boot up my phone, it will display the messaging menu on the background and I cannot view the HTC Sense main screen till I press any button.
Please see below photo of the problem :

Mine does exactly the same thing.
mine does the same thing too, it seems to be that messaging tries to open up on top of it, if you see on your screenshot, it says messaging at the top instead of start. Seems to be an issue with windows mobile i think as i had the same thing happen on my touch pro with a custom rom. it happens to me when i use the phone too, for example if i'm watching a video in full screen that messaging thing appears over it and exits full screen playback, doesnt happen all the time but enough to become annoying
Try booting the phone without the memory card inserted. Maybe it's corrupt.
I get this too. Tried searching for a fix but couldn't find one so good to see a thread started here about it.
Touching the screen will also take you to the main screen.
Weird. I get the "Launching HTC Sense" sometimes, but never the Messaging thing instead of Start.
It only happens on mine if the phone has been switched off for a while, for example over night, if I just switch the phone off and back on again it goes straight to the main screen.
I just got this tablet recently, not too much surprise since i am already user android 2.2 rom on x10
But i notice there is time where this tablet fail to respond to touch command say after a long timeout. As in i can't move the bubble to unlock the screen at all
I tried to turn it off and the pop up wasn't even responsive at all to touch.
Is this a failure on my tab alone or anyone else have the same problem ?
Also it is common for the tablet to have a slow respond to screen switch and rotate a lot ? I found my tablet go portrait mode even lie down (i want it to be landscape).
please indicate what version you are running and what kernel.
i have no such problems running 3.1 upgraded tu .38
Wrongfeifong from The Order of the Silver Hand? If so Korgana here cool that you got this same tablet lol.
I've not had any problems like that yet.
No, I havn't had any issues and if you want to be landscape use the rotation lock switch, it's beside the volume butons.

Sorry, had to.... anyway, if you are running 3.0 and not 3.1 it could be the "Removal from Charger" issue and causes it to lock up? I dunno, like the others said, what is your current version?
I just got it right out of the box and never update
3.0.1 android version
2.6.36-0001 kernel
and hey small world isn't it? yea i am the same person from silver hand.
Hi guys,
I accidentally dropped my phone on the floor.
This wasn't the first time I dropped but this time it's really broken.
The screen is broken and the touch screen isn't working anymore (looks like only 20% of the top part is working, rest of the screen not).

Is there any way how to control it from my pc now? It's rooted etc.
I'd like to make a backup for whatsapp and other apps.
Second thing, should I try to replace the screen and touch screen?
Thanks,
Niek

If the power and volume buttons still work you can use fastboot and adb.

Yeah I know I could use ADB.
But I thought that it's maybe possible to control it on your pc via an interface or something. So that you actually see your phone's screen on your pc screen.
There's an app called airdroid but i don't know how you can launch it without a touchscreen.
Hello - my phone is 1.5 years old and suddenly I have faint blue spot on my screen, mostly visible on white background. It's been there for a week ...

Any ideas if there is a way to fix this?
Tap it fast and gently on the 'smudge' for a minute or so. If there is any improvement, keep doing it till it disappears. If not, get a new screen.

Thanks for the tip but It doesn't seem to change anything.
If it doesn't spread I might keep it that way because changing the screen would cost me near what I paid for the phone!

could be delimitation, which means you need a new screen.
However try a screen calibration app first.
2nd a factory reset (this calibrates the screen on newer versions of Android)
if that doesn't work you probably need a new screen
The same issue arised for my screen, but it is fainter, think it is screen issue because when I was tapping screen during restart that part had a strange response. It appeared almost suddenly for me, any fix?
