Have to Align Screen again and again - it Annoys me

Hey i don't know what happened to my Wizard but suddenly after installing two Alarm Clock softwares i just started losing my Screen Alignment. To fix it i even tried re flashing my Wizard but this time the problem started early and without installing those programs. Did anyone of you have the same problem?? If you do have a patch do post it in reply. Cause after using the ROM I'm using now all the other ROMs seem to be too Slow.
NOTE: Information about my Wizard is updated and in my signature.
Thanks in Advance.

HI,
Have you ckecked the connection between the screen and the print? Maybe it has a bed contact?
If you still have warranty, the you better send your phone back to let it repair
good luck

Hey im sure that there are no problem with the HARDWARE cause if there were problems with the hardware then it should not even work after i align screen and secondly if you know any ROM faster than mine (mentioned in my sign) cause when i switch to nayother ROM they seem to be too slow.

hi,
but you said that you heve the problem with all the roms, isn't it? so then it must be a hardware problem?

Well there's your problem right there. Anyone that sure of anything can't be right about it.
Seriously though. This sounds like an intermittent fault, and that is the domain of hardware failures. This kind of thing happens when hardware ages. Especially around things with moving parts. That slide-out keyboard wreaks havoc on the ribbon over time, and eventually, they just give out. You may have one that's merely loose, or it may be getting ready to break, or it may already be broken and just touching often enough to make you think it's okay.
The chances of this being firmware or driver-related are really slim. If that was the case, the error would be constant, not intermittent.

Sorry! but i dont guess i said that anywhere by reflashing i meant reflashing the same ROM. If the problem still presists then it might be a HARDWARE fault but for now its working pretty fine.

Forgot one thing, if this is an HARDWARE issue then is it fixable?? if yes how?

hey man i had this annoying issue whenever i remove the battery..but it should be OK when u do alignment a couple of time repeatedly...try it and post the results here..

I have had alignment problems for a long time. Clearly mine is hardware related, since stock and custom ROMs both show the same problem. Sometimes I'll go for months with no problem, and then I'll have to start realigning several times a day. Thank god for smartskey, otherwise I could rarely close a program. I was told that it was probably a hardware problem and that it would've been covered under warranty (if I was still under warranty), but I never sent it off. Somebody else told me once that It was probably due to there being pressure put on the edges of the screen from the frame around the screen, and if I disassembled it, made sure the seal/padding wasn't touching the touch-sensitive part and then reassembled it, I should be fine. But I looked up the process in the service manual, and WOW it looked like a lot of work with a lot of places where I could screw up the phone, so I just live with it. Sometimes sliding it open and closed would totally mess it up. It seems to help if I just squeeze the edges of the screen to really "seat" it, and then align. Then it seems to stay pretty well aligned for a good while. Good luck!

I cooked up a ROM and installed it and it works now i dont have the problem. Please try my ROM and give me feedback link to it exists in my signature. Thanks. TC

Touchscreen jitter shown on youtube.

and my 2 videos showing the same problem.

Weird! Mine doesn't have this issue, I've tried the Notes line drawing test.

Neither do I..
Go get a replacement, it might be a faulty device. Not sure what's the point here. It is not a problem with the device, it's a problem with YOUR device.

To be fair mine did do it every once in a while, thought it was perhaps sumthing I had on my finger (oil/grease/water/sweat whatnot) however, desensitised the screen and popped a screen protector on it and it's 100% reliable now..

The first video is not mine so it is NOT my device problem and i tested on another hd2 and it made the same thing. That's why i came up with the touchscreen tweak you find on the tips and tweaks sticky but even that do not solve it 100%.
It has been confirmed has software problem like the pink camera here.

that was my exact thought but with a screen protector i could make it do that so i quitted on it at the end.
Good to know i'm not alone here.

Same problem with mine, have applied the touchscreen tweak and aligned the screen which does make it a little better. Maybe the 1.48 rom will fix it and the camera when its officially released.

dude that is exactly what i got. its hard to write one word without the need to correct it. the keyboard is such a horror. it was easier to write on my diamond. im still thinking about to get money back, ask for a replacement or wait for an update.

Unfortunately rom 1.48 does not solve touchscreen problem nor camera pink issue.

So it's a hardware problem ?

Why don't you take your phone back and go get an iPhone instead? Complaining about it here isn't going to help any and it's not, as far as I can tell, a general issue as plenty of people do not see this effect (myself included).

just tried 2 of the tests on mine and i do not get any of the problems.

I just got an HD2 a couple of days ago on O2 in the UK. I have the stock 1.43 ROM at the moment and have this keyboard jitter really bad too . Should I ring O2 and get a replacement, or is a new ROM likely to fix it?
Cheers.

[Q] Touch screen problem HW or SW?

Hi,
just recently I bought a used Legend when I was abroad. It seemed to work alright at the shop but I soon discovered that it had a few flaws.
First the symptoms:
The Notification panel rolls down when I touch the screen often rendering the touch screen useless.
Typing on the keyboard in upright position brings down the panel, but if i tilt it it typing the letter "P" will give me "Q"
Some times the screen will start flickering when I hold my finger 10mm above the screen.
The HTC weather app does not show the correct local weather - 3rd party works.
Then to the problem solving attempts:
Reboot - solves the problem for a short while
Resetting to factory defaults - same as above
Disassembled to check for lose components or particles - none found and warranty void I know...
OTA update - I got the 2.1-updat1 2 days ago and the phone worked fine for3-4hrs before it started acting up again. HTC Weather was working.
OTA upgrade - got 2.2 yesterday and had another 3-4hrs without symptoms. HTC Weather app was working.
And a couple of questions:
1) Is it hardware or software?
2) If software - how can it be solved? I`m ok with rooting etc. but would prefer a less time consuming solution. I`m in a Linux environment.
3) If it is hardware - I would probably be able to replace the digitizer (if that`s the problem) but how do i locate it for sure?
4) Would this problem be logged in the phone if so how do i access it?
Software info:
Android version
2.2
Baseband version
47.51.35.17u_7.13.35.05
Kernel version
2.6.32.17-g30929af
htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1
Wed Dec 1 15:10:40 CST 2010
Build number
3.15.405.3 CL291292 release-keys
Software number
3.15.405.3
Browser version
webkit 3.1
I could send it in for repair but since the warranty is voided it would probably cost a small fortune and since I find it quite satisfactory to mend things I would really appreciate all the help I could get.
Cheers!

I do not Know how much time you spend with disassembling but it took me about one hour to root it and i was new to this
i think a lot of people can do it in less
i'm on linux too and it is not an problem ( look around for the linux method of creating the goldcard it is realy easy )
i had a similar problem when i tryed to use a screen protector
after removing this and aplying a new clean one it worked ok ( but not great )
after removing this new one it worked great
the legend screen is so scratch resistant that i prefer not to have anything on it
Good luck resolving the problem and please if you manage post how you did it
i'm curious !!

Well, took me about half an hour to disassemble and put the thing back together.
Thanks for the tip about screen protectors - have`nt used any but I thoroughly inspected and cleaned the screen just in case. So that one is ruled out
Any other with ideas of whats most likely, a hardware or a software/firmware error?
I will post if I get it resolved.
BTW: I`m in Oslo, Norway anyone that can recomend a good repair shop?

Hi gesax,
I just started having this very same problem a couple of days ago.
I was about to take my phone appart, but thanks to your post I at least know that it wont change anything (thank you for that)
Quite worried, cause I'm pretty much the only person in Argentina with an HTC Legend, so no chance of sending it to a repair shop
By any chance you found a solution to your problem? or did you have it fixed?
Thanks!
Noah

Have the exact same problem. Haven't found any solution. I'm gonna turn it in.
I have a theory, that usage in cold weather (well below zero) might have caused this...
Anyone who can confirm or dismiss my theory?
Sent from my HTC Legend.

I had the same
New screen for me after bring it to assistance

Yes, it happen to me. It's definitively an hardware problem.

Had this before. Well can't say exactly what the problem is. Might be HW or SW or maybe both. It happened twice to me. Once by software, more like rom actually. After a few days with CM, it stated acting weird. Reflash and everything is good. The other time is because water vapour got between my screen protector and screen. Thus resulting in such effects you're experiencing.

Screen replacement - ONLY AFTER STANDBY: stripes on the screen

Hello,
I replaced the screen of my G2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGZDcDyg2e8&feature=youtu.be
After starting the phone, everything works perfectly (normally) but after using the standby mode, only stripes are displayed and the phone is unusable. Anybody has an idea, why and if it is possible to solve the problem? Or is the new screen just broken, what I suppose.

Just replaced my display too and I have the same issue. Thing is I'm going throught the second display that acts like this after replacement. My guess would be, that there is an issue related to the different screen models. I assume (and am going to try) that a ROM reflash already helps.

Yes, could be!!! Because some shops tell you from start that those displays don't work with Android 4.xxx but i also have a doubt because , i have the same issue when i am in the recovery mode (which is kind of an independent os in my opinion, - though than a kernel update still might help in theory)
Which version do u have?
I'm very angry with the shop though, because I asked if it works with Android 4.xxx
The screen also has a physical damage. It's cracked. Neither the glass isn't attached well to the frame .
I brought it on ebay from the_phone_depot
please inforn me , when you have tried out something new.

I can confirm that this is the case. A reflash helped. I'm using Resurrection remix. Shouldn't matter what ROM tho.
Buuuut: I didn't have the issue in the recovery while i had it with the first screen. But the first screen had a bad digitizer also.

I can also confirm that it works with higher android versions. Though the seller confirmed it should be also working with android 4.4....
Thanks a lot dude!
Still a big progress!

Hi, can you tell me if knock knock function works to wake up the phone? or is there any trick how to get it to work. Thank you

Works for me. I'm aware of the issue and we know, that it's ROM/Software and not hardware dependant.

Ghost touchscreen

Hi to everyone.
From 1 week my Mi9T has a ghost touchscreen.
How can i resolve it?

What do you mean by ghost touchscreen?

Screen responds to 'touches' you didn't actually make - like, there is a ghost touching your screen

oh, well i dont know how to fix that sorry. But maybe you touched the edge of the screen accidentally?

i have the same problem for about a week now! did you find any fixes?

me too

Me to. I have tried every possible solution. Eventually whole screen has been replaced on warranty.

No guys i dont find any solution. And now? How we can resolve it?

replacing the display is the only solution

i have the same problem, ghost touches in the upper side, near clock.. specially when phone is hot or i press the top of the phone

Im so angry ??? bc we have this phone not usable!!

It's a hardware failure. Faulty display. If you suffer from "ghost touches" you should back up the data you want to keep, and return your Device to where you have bought it from as it might still fall under warranty (depends op what the cause is, and where you live). This can also get worse over time making the screen partially unusable (which was in my case). contact the seller, or contact customer service from Xiaomi.
I suffered ghost touches at the beginning of December (owned the Device for at least a month). Tried every software options i found around internet that could resolve it, but it was to no avail. I proceeded to unlocking the bootloader, install TWRP, flash a custom rom... For a couple of days i was fine. After those few days the top part of the screen (the part with the status bar) rendered unusable, on custom rom and stock miui. Tested it and it seemed that the area increased and also decreased from now and then, which is strange. After contacting my seller they agreed on sending it back including screenshot and the tests i ran. 1 day after they received my device they contacted me to say that it cannot be fixed (or at least they didn't seem to bother as the phone's pricerange is low) and i am receiving a complete new one (this was in the weekend btw). After that weekend on monday i received the new one and it's running better then ever, even the fingerprint is much faster.
Now just as a warning, I don't say you still have warranty. i live in the Netherlands where unlocking, rooting and all that does not void warranty, and returning a product is very easy to do. But in other parts of the world the companies can screw you over so you'll have to check that.

For those who are asking what is it, juste have a look at mine in dev mode to show the touch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZApYI9otJI

This happens to me only when I'm charging the phone, still annoying, , I think it's something to do with the voltage and could be fixed with a software update.
