Hi. I recently cracked my screen, and now the lower 30% of the the touch screen does not work.
I tried to factory reset the device to see if that would have any results, but unfortunately the issue remains.
When restarting the phone, there's a "Make yourself at home" popup, asking to drag apps from the app-bin, or press the "Okay" button.
Unfortunately the screen doesn't rotate on this dialog, and I cannot figure out how to remove it/skip it.
Any suggestions? I'd like to at least partially use the phone in case of emergencies or something until LG gets back to me on a repair.
Me also having same problem stuck can't go to home screen. any suggestion!!

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 there!
I have absolutely ridiculous problem with my THD. All of a sudden screen started to act like it is half disabled. In simple words, if a touch some icon on top bar, let's say Start button, click appears on clock. Basically it is looks like touch area displaced by half an inch down. I've tried to calibrate screeen and it seems like it worked for a few minutes and then turns back. I had to hard reset the whole thing and it did not help either. All images, icons, screen items appeared correctly on screen. Bottom menu bar responses correctly though.
I did not drop the phone if it will give a clue.
Anyone knows what the hell is that and how to fix that problem? Please help.
Thank you.
Anyone? Please...
sounds like you need to re align your touch screen. you need to go to Start>Settings>System>Screen then align screen
If you cant get to this then a Hard Reset might be the only way to go
Nothing is working. Now I cannot even get past screen alignment. Looks like it can be a hardware problem.
u may have to hard reset
then after that if it still wont work then u may need a replacement
Yeah. It sound like it is. Jast called HTC support, did hard reset again and after few minutes it is back to that misalignment. Damn...
Connected to ActiveSync and have you got 'My Mobiler' running? I noticed some strange screen behaviour with that on the Device and the host PC.
try pressing both volume keys and tapping the screen at the same time(volup + voldown + tap the screen) --- it will get you to align screen mode if that doesnt work then maybe you have some problems while flashing a rom or something!

I am having the same problem, it started suddenly somedays ago. I realized that when I hard rest it works fine for some time and then slowly left side of the screen stops responding, after a while only right side react to touch so you cannot access START menu nor anything else from the whole screen, just the left corners.Any solution?
very strange, i have just noticed that my phone lock screen is now gone.
when i hit the hang up/power off button instead of locking the screen it goes black but when i hit another button it comes right back to the main today screen but no lock screen. bit of a problem when it does in the pocket.
any help??
hi
start - settings - menu -all settings - lock -(untick prompt if phone unused for) ----follow instructions -- reboot
regards
op
hold down your power button and lock the screen using that, then when you put the phone back into sleep it will wake up locked.
You may have to do this everytime after a reboot. Eventually mine sorted itself out and I no longer have to do it
This happened to me after I installed the HTC SMS patch. It also makes it so you can only preview your emails and not go into it by selecting. Installed and hard reset twice thinking it was a fluke. Nope.
i got the lock screen back by going to Settings / Change background of lock screen, then softreset. don't know why it went missing and why i got it back doing this... but it worked.
Has anyone else had the issue where you can press down on the screen, a tool bar or something and the screen starts to shake or the selector starts to auto select things. I get this a lot and typing is often very hard because it randomly selecting things when i am typing on the keypad.
I have seen it once when i put the phone down go through random menus, is this a fault or just normal due to sensitivity?

Hi
I've had the same problem several times with both stock rom and cooked.
I turn it off, wipe the screen and it will usually revert to working properly.
Most would say it's a fault unfortunately. Personally I've returned mine for a replacement after a 'repair' which fitted a new screen made the problem worse.
See this thread.
After doing a hard reset on my perfectly-functioning Pro the other day, the screen and buttons have now stopped working. My question is two-fold:
1. What the heck is going on?
The phone worked fine until I did the hard reset. Now, when I do a hard reset, everything appears to work correctly through the screen-alignment. The screen responds properly at that stage. Immediately afterward, the normal Today screen pops up for a split second. After that, the "Treo Customization" screen comes up, and that's where it all goes to hell. After the "Treo Customization" runs its course, the phone says "tap screen to reset." After tapping the screen, the phone responds and resets itself.
After that, a blank today screen appears. The tool bar on top is there and the background is there, but that's it. The screen and buttons are unresponsive except to brighten the screen after it periodically dims. Several other functions continue to work. I can activate wifi via the side button. The top button turns off the screen. Strangely enough, the QWERTY keyboard is completely unresponsive, except that the search button works (alt button and magnifying glass).
Does this sound like a hardware problem? Could it be fixed with a flash and new rom?
2. I tried to flash the phone and install a new rom to see if that would help, but I was unsuccessful for the following reasons: 1) When I run PANTHER_CDMA_HSPL_V101, the bootloader screen appears, but immediately upon that occurring, my sync connection disappears, so I can't proceed through my computer. 2) I can't run the manual flash program (SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA) because I have no functioning controls on the phone itself.
Any ideas? Is there any way to achieve a flash on an unresponsive phone, or should I start shopping?
Thanks!
