Partially broken screen - Screen size/warranty question - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there XDA,
Today around 1/4 of my screen broke and it's fully unusable, I wonder if there's a way I could change the screen resolution so I only use the top part of my screen instead of just the broken bottom part?
My phone is flashed with Omega v24 by ::indie::, could I still send my phone to Samsung and use the warranty? It's definitely a hardware and no software issue so it's nothing to do with the root/custom firmware - would they still repair it?
Thanks in advance.

I use MyMobilizer too. It runs on the PC. You can see and control your phone from your PC and take screenshots while connected.
Quite a few freeware available for this sort of thing. Just google for it.
I'm using pocket XNview, http://www.xnviewpocket.org

Had XnView for sometime and never knew it did screen captures. Thanks for pointing it out.
Shake & Save is the best IMHO. Simplicity Exemplified!

You are looking for an app called MyMobiler. This will do what you need it to do.
Thanks and yeah I found it after research. Now, can it connect to phone automatically? Or do I have to turn it on from phone? Screen being dead and all.

Well you still have to install it but that won't really be possible if you can't go to the right directory and run the .cab. Unless it was already installed on your phone, then I think you will be able to, depends on what the settings were. Give it a try. And if you really need to access your phone you will have to buy a new LCD screen. If the touch screen doesn't work, you will need a digitizer also.
here is a list of them on ebay. pick the one you want:

Thank you for the help. Yeah I had the program installed initially but even when I plug it it, mymobiler just says unable to connect. The phone vibrates when I touch screen but doesn't seem like its accepting any input so I believe ill need a new screen.

You can always look for an exe installer and you can install this via ActiveSync. I would tell you to reflash the roms or do a hard reset but you will get stuck at the Stylus calibration...
I think you are correct, you need a new screen...

[TIPS] Improve Screen Sensitivity Of Your WinMo (.cab) UPDATE 25/4/11

Hi,
I have found tips over the forums on how to improve the screen sensitivity of your WinMo resistive touchscreen
1) When calibrating your screen, tap the cursor hairs as accurately and as lightly as possible. I use a toothpick for this, it has a fine tip. You will notice immediately how much more responsive your screen is!
2) Another method I found was:
a) Install Attached .cab / Reg Tweak
b) Soft Reset
c) Be Amazed at your Screen Sensitivity!
This is a little .cab file / reg tweak created by kevinpwhite (all credits to him)
EDIT: Many people in the thread have said that it has calibrated their screen wrong and they can't navigate it (cab/reg) This has resulted in a hard reset to get the touchscreen back(due to different touchscreen resolutions etc) I will investigate more into this and create a new version, if possible. Please use it at your own risk, and be sure to create a backup of your device.

Hi, dudes, my HTC WIZARD gets "untouchable" after this installation, but i found the way to solve it! =D
1- Download: CeRegEdit (u can found it on Google, with this u can explore your mobile reg trough your PC)
2- Open it (with your cell phone connected in ActiveSync)
3- Go to Tools, and select "Unlock registry" (your registry will be "Editable")
4- Navigate to:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH] and change this values to your defaults:
"CalibrationData" and "MaxCalError" (you have to found the values for your phone, here in XDA i foud the values for my phone)
5- Softreset
I hope to help someone, and i hope than no one had to make an horrible hardreset

This was created specifically for the TG01, but i think that the WinMo stored values are the same across all devices. It simply changes a reg key to increase the screen pressure to the max.
Please give me feedback if it works for you!
Please hit the THANKS BUTTON if you like this!
well, this just ****ed over my omnia, and i can't access it from my computer as i dont have a connect cable. any tips on how to bring it back to normal without hard reset?

please read the xda rules... no bad language.
This cannot possibly cause ANY damage. i have tested it on various winmo devices (touch hd etc) if so, explain?
Also describe your problem better. how is that gooing to help me, by just saying it ________ my Omnia!

i've tested in my O2 LIFE WM6, at the first time i got trouble, i couldnt tap my screen well. when i tapped all screen, it connected to bottom right screen.
i used my navigation button to reach the SETTING-SYSTEM-SCREEN-ALIGN SCREEN.
the align screen works. then i used a srynge to calibrate it (dont try this at home), the final result is........
WORKS GREAT LIKE A CHARM!!
my screen becomes more sensitive! I dont need my stylus anymore, with resco keybord typing is so much fun.
THANK YOU..

this sets your screen sensitivity to the maximum allowed pressure point. So your resisitive touch screen will require a light touch to register changes.
This is what loads of people complain about? Poor screen sensitivity? So try this out!!
I didn't feel any difference in my Rhodium...

I've installed on my diamond 2 and I have been the same as the other: to do a reset, I have completely lost the calibration of the screen. Through "My mobile" I could recalibrate it, but do not notice any difference ...

Thanks for trying amyway! It certainly works for me though. It just recalibrates the reg entries for screen sensitivity. It wont male a huge difference!

Just used the Calibration method on my Rhodium400, seems to work, but maybe it's just my head!

thabks for the feedbakc! glad it works!
I always thought that this couldn't really be done. Tried many before and didn't see a difference. Then again I can't help myself so I will try this out too.
why didn't you come up with this earlier? i wasted two years using my htc jade with this insensitivity, finally a solution
thank you so much
Okay, I will try it now, but we need to know if there are a way to uninstall it safely in case if anything wrong happen like that one who had the Omnia, also you should type if we have to recalibrate the screen points after installing the tweak on all devices or what.
Thanks in advance.
tried it on my hTC Gene (P3400) running 6.5.5 and i got the same problem mentioned in post #5...dead unresponsive screen with a few taps being wrongly located towards the bottom right of the screen...so had to go into the screen setting via my D-pad and re-align the screen to enable it again
i think problem has something to do with the screen resolution (mine is qvga)
faced similar issues when trying a screen sensitivity improvement hack meant for wvga screens i found somewhere within the forums...
anyways nice job...its great to see some people still trying to make an effort to keep WinMo going!! keep up the good work!!

first try method one of calibrating your screen on your own
if you try method two of installing the cab thenall you have to do is run the cab file and soft-reset your device
if its worked, and we hope it does, then that should be it, you should have a screen which is more responsive
if you get a frozen screen just navigate to settings/system/screen and align your screen again to get it to work using the direction keys if you have them or by any other means
or hard reset to undo the settings
i'm just sharing whatever info i have...do tell me if i've left anything out
