TyTN:Temporary Method to deal with LCD Alignment Problem

I don't know why this setting can solve this problem (May be).
Go to
start > Setting > Connection > USB to PC
Step:
1. Uncheck USB to PC
2. Start > Setting > System > Screeen > Calibration the Alignment of Screen
3. Soft Reset.
My friend also use CHT9000 (Taiwan Version) and told me this method. After the above mentioned adjustment, not alignment problem up to this moment.
I also use this method. 2 days gone, no alignment problem was found. I will keep to update this post in the future.
Hope it can help. :roll:

anyone else tried this? anything to comment?

There is a thread or two about this on the general side or somewhere.
"Search" will work fine.

I tought it is working but not.
I have contacted with the local HTC/QTEK partner.
Waiting for the official solution.
BR,
Joe

I think that I may have a proper fix. my alignment seemed to be fixed by a rom upgrade but has been getting prgressively worse for a few days. Last night I tried something hardware based. I will test this for two days before I will say what it is but I have had no misalignment issue in the few hours since I did it.

could you post what you did so even if it doesnt work, we would know?

Ok it hasn't shifted at all today!
I was going to open it up to have a look at the rubber gasket that was mentioned in another post but chickened out!
Optional but probably a good idea; turn off and remove the battery.
1) Slide keyboard out and turn face down.
2) There are 2 tiny screws on the back of the screen that need to be undone. They have thread lock on them so a small crack will be heard as it releases.
3) Once the screws are out a further small crack noise may be heard. That'll be the tension being taken off the screen!
4) Put the screws back in and tighten (or should that be TyTN?). Do not over tighten these as it is only plastic.
5) If necessary realign the screen (hopefully for the last time)
As kind of proof that this has worked, this post was made from my v1605 on hsdpa while I was talking on the phone using bluetooth and got very hot and didn't need any realigning!
Hope it works for others!

I have the O2 Trion and my screen will be slight misaligned at the right side (cant use the vert scroll bar) . Is this exactly your problem ?
Does your problem happened again, if not could you post some pic/steps on how you did it ?
Thanks :roll:

4) Put the screws back in and tighten (or should that be TyTN?). Do not over tighten these as it is only plastic.
as long as there is no excessive used here, that is what you mean right?

You're correct. Before I did this one screw was clearly at an angle and afterwards it was straight.
If anyone else has success let me know and I'll try to get some photos and do a how-to on the wiki.

i tried this out for my friend and he claims that while it did fix the alignment problem on the right side, sometimes the screen becomes slightly misaligned. could be that i tightened a bit too hard so will look into this.

I'll try to get some photos and do a how-to on the wiki.

yes please

hi ...
when I undone the 2 screws.. i dont hear ANY noise... but I remove and returned it a little bit untight.
Let see... :roll:

Anybody had any success with this?
I haven't had any alignment issues since I did this 2 days ago.

When I did it for my friend, he claims that the screen, while does not have as serious an alignment problem as before, still has it. Its not that bad.
He notices that the problem usually comes after making a call. No matter how long the call (whether for 1 min or 40 mins), the screen will be slightly mis-aligned and needs to be re-aligned. Things like pressing the 'ENTER' button on the phone pad does not work unless he presses a certain part of the button.
Any advice for him?

low45,
I undone the 2 screws but hear no click or crack and return it back not so tight... is that the correct way... I will monitor mine, since it only happening once a day..

Though I do not hv one but I can inform that it is the bad quality of work..this has been happening to all the recent G4 Wizards and Prophets with SZ series serial number.
I think thehardware design has gone wrong..
Pls check yr serial number..if they start from HT or SZ

i think all the HTC Hermes manufactured are of the HT version

screw no help
ok... after a day.. it happened again...
I just hard reset and did not load the extROM last night... let see .. :roll:

me i go back to change it
i have HT630xxxx and no probleme

Touch screen sensitivity

How to change the sensitivity of the screen ?
I want it to be more sensitive to finger touches so i dont have to apply any pressure on the screen to register a "click."
Is there any way to change this ?

I heard somewhere that when you calibrate the screen, it not only calibrates where you touch the screen, but also how much pressure you apply? Is that true anyone?

Seems true to me, barely takes any pressure for me to use the touch screen.

I had the same problem wen I formatted my phone again, I had to calibrate the phone again and it worked perfectly.

That is AFAIK true.
To recalibrate, go to Start -> Settings -> choosing the system tab -> tap the screen icon.
There, you can recalibrate where you touch the screen and how much pressure you apply to the touches.

Thanks guys.
Just tried to re-calibrate the screen with little pressure by my clicks, and it works better now.

To recalibrate, go to Start -> Settings -> choosing the system tab -> tap the screen icon.

My X1a arrived from a previous owner without the stylus working, so I'm hopeful that calibrating the screen will remedy the problem like it has for so many (altho a handset problem is still a possibility).
However, before I do (which will be after work today), I was hoping to hear why, or how anyone could screw it up, so that I could either troubleshoot the current problem, or minimally not screw up the procedure myself.
This is my 1st smartphone so pardon the newbish query ...

Thanx Squidgy ... my search tumed up this thread only, altho your thread seems to be more about an alternate procedure, and does come up short on why or how anyone could screw up the primary procedure(?)
Edit: I also could have been more clear ... ie, finger touch seems to work well, while my stylus does not ... and that's a bit of a mystery to me(?)
cheerios

I Have found that if you calibrate with finger, then stylus doesnt work so good but if you calibrate gently with stylus, then finger and stylus works far better
try it

Thanx Flub!
My own approach to the procedure (called an alignment) took me around the screen several times. I don't know if it was trying to acquire some minimum threshold of satisfaction, but I might imagine it leading some users to pressing harder and harder. Your suggestion was an impetus for using soft touches only, and the result is a stylus touch that is now very sensitive.

I don't understand what you mean "this post is old"...
The methods described in the post work, and I can't see any other newer versions of that softtouch, apart from the softtouch keyboard which is a completely different app.
As for why you would want to use the 2nd procedure (I don't know how you could bugger up a .cab installation), personally I prefer a quick clean reg edit to installing a cab. But each to their own.

Touch screen not working

Hey guys, I have been so much frustrated about my htc topaz....till now it is working perfectly. Since yesterday all of a sudden touch screen stops working...with ballooning effect on screen ...previously ballooning effect was noticed before 3-4 days,but i did not pay attention on it as touch screen working at that time..
What may be the probable cause is it digitizer or lcd screen gone?
I have uploaded the pictures also..

That's the Chinese Diamond2?
If so I have the same problem with a Chinese phone... There is a part of the screen that's not working fine (like a balloon on the left side of the screen). I have to press really hard and press more to the side than it should be
I've already considered in opening the phone to try to solve the problem.
Does anyone already opened his phone with success? Any pictures available to help the task?
indresh88, sorry to use your topic but I think we both need the same...

I had the same problem, is very usual in this phone. the tecnical changed the screen.

no definately not...it's factory unlocked asian version...also it is t5353 and official stock rom.
by the way how can we differentiate between chinese and factory unlock phone?
have you solve your problem?

Hi, use some standard scotch tape or tesa film. Stick it over the affected area and peel the tape off. This should unstick the digitizer again, it did the job for me quite often...

I have the T5388i dual sim.
I'm no expert on those phones, but I think an easy way to know if the phone is HTC or Chinese version is the front camera side (on HTC is on the right and on the replica is on the left)
Other simple way is if it's dual sim than it's not from HTC.
If I'm telling some mistakes please someone correct me.
Concerning the problem... it's not solved

Well according to my research...If you have standard htc phone, you have device name t5353,no dual sim,htc written on left side and front camera on right side....

it helped me quite good and temporery, but how to fix it permanently...?

replace the touch screen digitizer.
eBay have many of them...
I have replaced my cracked one last month.

Two fixes for the scotch tape issue
1. Always take along some scotch tape or
2. Replace the digitizer. This can be done faily easily, see some other posts.
Cheers

I've looked at ebay for the digitizer and I've found many... the question is if they work on my phone?
I have a DUAL SIM T5388i, can anyone point me the right digitizer?
I've tried the tape but didn't worked I don't know if I'm doing it right because I've noticed no diference.

Help me!
I also have this problem, It just stopped working. I was calling, 10 minutes later when i took my phone and tried to unlock it, it did nothing, when i connect my phone in windows 7 with mobile center, I installed SOTI pocket controller, to check if it was my screen, and it was because via pocketcontroller it worked good, but how do i have to replace the screen thing, and how does it work with the tape,,
Thanks

i also had the same problem. if im not mistaken it might be due to humidity ...
i might be wrong
is there any way to fix this without replacing digitizer.
by the way i have a TD2 t5353 htc original .

Workign Solution Till Now
Hello Friends,
I have TD2 mobile and today I had same issue. I was thinking it was because of the weather or some.
I remember it did happend several time before, but when I restart the device several time it does work. So I was ignoring.... But today it did not work.. looks like going toward end... So I did soft and hard reset without and that did not helped me.
So I switched off the mobile, "heated" the touch screen gently with my hand for 1 min and started the mobile again and it worked for me .
Not sure if this is a solution, but will work.
May be I will contact Service Center here in Hyderbad and see what is wrong here?
Hope this will help you all...
Thanks.

Well, I've solved the problem... changed the digitizer...

I'd return and exchange.

Are you doing it right? You need to hover the pen close the then screen, hold the spen and release it.

The note two's s-pen had two screws under the button to adjust sensitivity so it's possible it could be a dodgy pen opposed to phone, worth a google if you don't want to exchange or they have no stock to exchange.

Problem Solved!
After a few tries i found the sensitivity-setting for "my" S-Pen. My pens sensitivity was to high, so i had to decrease it a little.
Have a instruction video of how to adjust the sens of a S-Pen.
The person in the video had the opposite problem so he turned the screw clockwise.

[Q] Note 3 S-Pen not working !

I have the following Android Device:
Samsung Note 3
Model No: SM-N9005
Android version: 4.4.2
Build No. KOT49H.N9005XXUGNJ2
Security software version: MDF v1.0 Release 3
Issue: The S-Pen fails to get any input on the screen. I have tried & noticed the following:
1) S-Pen detachment notification works when taken out.
2) Air View options pops up when pen is detached.
3) Air view options work when pressed with finger but not with S-Pen.
4) S-Pen works fine with other Note 3 devices
5) Other S-Pen does not work on my device
6) Made sure the S-Pen features are enabled under the settings. Tried enable/disable as well.
7) Tried the following testing using *#0*#
a) TSP Hovering: Works fine with the finger & the S-Pen(as a trial)
b) Wacom Test: Doesnt detect the S-Pen input at all.
c) SPEN Hovering: Doesnt detect the S-Pen input at all.
8) Tried to tighten up the screw within the S-Pen as a trial although it works with other Note 3 devices, however, it didnt work !
9) Did a Reboot as well!
10) The phone does not have any magnetic case either! FYI
11) Tried changing the nib with the new ones as well!
Could anybody suggest a work around for this problem? I am not sure if a factory reset can solve the problem, has anybody got that working after a factory reset?
I have all my data synced with the my google account, so with a factory reset, would it be restored back once signed it back on the phone? Will the Apps get uninstalled as well?? Do you think it is possible to re-install the S-Pen SDK or something?
Please advise!
Thanks
Pierre

Try running The self diagnostic mode and test the phones screen.

check if the spen is working on that.

If that's the case then your spen has gone bad. The way the spen works is there is a coil behind the screen and the spen draws power wireless from this coil.
This kinda makes it sure for the problem to be hardware problem not software.
One of two things could have gone bad.
1. The coil itself
2. Or your s pen is not able to take the wireless power..
If you have a friend who has the note 3 then try using his or her spen on your phone. .. That would be a good way to find out if your spen is bad or the coil thing.

Sorry if its the coil. Think that may be expensive.
Not sure how much the new coil thingy will cost you and not sure if its a part of the device screen...
If it is a part of the screen then they will probably replace the screen.
The sPen costs about 50 $ I think.
If you are under warranty and you have not rooted or done anything with the device Samsung should repair this problem without charging you but can never be sure..
Did you drop the device or something before getting this issue ??
