Need some Wizard digitizer help, please...!

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my digitizer on my 8125. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this, and if anyone knows of any workaround, short of sending the unit back.
After the unit has been great for a month (summiter's 2.17), all of a sudden, when I use the stylus in teh lowe right corner of the screen, it senses the pressure about 3 milimeters to the left.
Therefore, it's almost impossible to use the right scroll bar, if that makes any sense.
I realigned the screen.
It was fine for about 30 minutes.
Same problem.
Reset.
Fine for a bit.
Then same problem.
Now, I bit the bullet, and did a hard reset.
It was running so nicely, but I had no choice.
The digitizer was fine for about 30 minutes.
I was pretty happy...
And now... SAME problem.
Only in the bottom right of the screen, like usual.
Has anyone heard of this?
AFTER a hard reset, before installing apps???
If you think there is a solution, please let me know.
If it's a case of back-to-Cingular... So be it..
...but I figured i would ask the pros before sending it in!
Thanks!
Mike

I have the same problem, though I haven't managed to do a hard reset yet. (Does anybody know how to back up text messages without using an all in one backup program, because I want to rebuild anyway)??
My screen seems to be okay for a period (so far the max has been two weeks) then it becomes unusable after eg. 30 mins. In periods when this happens, it does so up to 10 times a day! Arggg.
I wanted to send it back under warranty, but now the problem has stopped!
Was going to do a hard reset to ensure it's not any dodgy software that I've uninstalled since it was last doing it etc... but I really don't want to lose my texts!
Any help with backing up SMS messages (without restoring full backup thus recreating digitizer problem) appreciated!
Mat

Thanks for the reply!
I was also CERTAIN it was software related, too.
I could NOT believe that after a hard reset, back to square one, that after 30 minutes, again it would be off.
Made no sense to me.
And only in one quarter of the screen.
So far, today, it's been fine.
It's the weirdest thing.
As for backing up your stuff, I have no idea how, sorry.
I'd love to hear any more opinions/ideas...!
Thanks!

I'm also having this issue...hoped the new ROM would fix the issue but noticed it after I installed a few apps....forgot to check it again before installing a few apps (i.e. pocket plus, tcpmp, a2dp cab, etc.)...did you guys end up sending yours back for a replacement or did you find it to be software related? I called Cingular today and HTC and they both were zero help... trying to figure out if I should send it back.... any suggestions are appreciated

I have this issue also... on all ROMs that I put on... There's a thread that says all you need to do is open up to the keyboard and then close to fix.

Could someone plz help me out with my Wizard's camera?

Haya everyone.
I am really lost for a solution here.
My wizard's camera has stopped working properly.
It used to work fine, but since recently everytime I want to use it, the pictures come out all screwed up.
I've attached two samples below.
I tried just about every camera patch there's available, but none of them seem to have any substantial effect.
I also tried different JPG settings, different sizes(that worked a short while) and even different Camera applications like coolcamera..
None of them seem to solve the problem.
Anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
Tnx a bunch, just really annoying I can't even use my wizard for sending mms....
Everything just looks wierd...
plz help me out here....

I've had a very similar problem with my old non-smart phone, I took it in to the service center and it was a hardware problem... I hope I won't disappoint you but if it hasn't happened after a ROM flash, camera software change or something - probably your camera is just broken, anyway you can check that in your local service center too?

ehhh.. it is simple settings prob imo. do full backup and hard reset to be sure.

Noob question
Tnx for your reply..
I don't think it's a hardware issue, since the preview of the camera is good.
I'll try a hard reset, but could anybody tell me how I cab perform a full backup?
Sorry for a noob question...

I use SPB Backup. It has been working fine for me untill now, and you have the chance to restore e. g. only pim.

Help! my Touch HD stopped working!! Need your help!

Hi everyone,
Since yesterday my touch hd stopped working! It seems like the touchschreen is not working anymore. Only the power en volume buttons are working.
Because of this I tried to do a hard reset which resulted in the same problem. Now I'm stucked on the align screen. If I press really really hard I can align 3 corners of the 4 on the screen, so I can't get further to the next step.
Im currently in a hot hot Australia which might be the reason for all this. If you have a good look at the screen while turning it horizontally, you can see that one part has weird colours/reflection.
So what do you think? Can I buy a new screen and solve the problem or is there more going on?
Can I have warranty? The device is not having the stock rom on it. Can I maybe control the device and install the stock rom on it using a program on a pc or so?
Aaaaaaany help would be so appreciated! Im using the device as tomtom GPS as well, which I really need to travel to Melbourne next week. So I kinda need your help/advise cause I'm a bit in a hurry....
Thank you very much anyways!

Hi
Do a search on "newton rings" which I believe is the weird color / reflection problem.
As an aside when I knew I was getting a replacement I saw a post that suggested putting the phone in freezer for 10 minutes or so !
I did then wrapped it in tissue to absorb the condensation and it worked !!

Plenty of threads on Newton rings if you search the General Forum like this one.
If its not Newton ring I you want to get past alignment, one method is to skip or bypass the alignment process altogether. Some Chefs do this already, namely Dutty, to among other things speed up the set up process.
How to do it: there are a couple of ways you can find in the forum, however, one way is to create a blank text file called, welcome.not, instead of welcome.not.txt, and place it in the root of your storage card. Next, flash a new rom or hard reset and you're done. It's up to you whether you leave your SD in during flash. I do not. If you do not, after the rom flash, stick your SD in and hard reset. If all goes to plan, the "welcome" phase will be bypassed, any you will not be prompted to align the screen or set the date, location, time etc. If for some reason it does not, go into the root of your SD and manually with your stylus or via activesync on your desktop create a new blank file in there and name it welcome.not. That actually worked for me. If it works then leave it in the root of your SD and it will allow the bypass with each new flash or hard reset.
The screen coordinates should load automatically after the bypass. If for any reason you need them, here are the Blackstone alignment coordinates from HKLM/Hardware/Devicemap/Touch/ Calibrationdata:
511,542 183,881 183,198 834,197 883,880.

Had that problem and you need a new ditigiter. Only problem is you will most likely break the screen replacing the ditigizer. So, the only fix is a new LCD screen and digitizer. You can get them from ebay. I did it and it was pretty easy, just take your time and get the videos and manuals people have posted on here. Good luck.

Touch hd major problem with the screen

OK, here what's the deal: a few days ago I cracked the screen, so I bought a new one and replaced it. BUT, now the phone does not recognize it and the screen doesn't turn on at all. The phone boots and it's working fine, I can recieve calls normaly, but the screen is dead. ALSO, the volume keys stoped functioning...
Any ideas please? I'm getting kinda desperate here...
Tnx

You probably messed up somwhere in your wiring. Open it back up and make sure everything is intact. Check out some guides online to make sure everything is in the proper place.

Allready done that, everything is in place...I do have a cooked ROM thought I can't remember which since my screen is not working, obiveously...Could it be tha I nedd to switch back an original ROM for it to be able to recognize the new hardware??? And is there an app that would allow me to monitor phones activity over PC???

No, A cooked rom wont affect a screen replacement in anyway.
I repaired mine while KWBR's Topix 6.5 was on the handset, infact Ive never had this handset on a stock rom, so it wont make a difference or help you.
Did you buy your Screen and Digitizer factory pre-assembled, the small price difference compared to buying the part standalone is worth every cent in preventing these sorts of after repair problems.

Ordro SW16 3G

Hello!
Does anybody know details or have experience with the Ordro SW16 3G?
Clone of imacwear M7?
Thanks

Omate/Pearl derivative.

certainly worth the 78 dollars
HI guys,girls
i just receiced the ordo phonewatch today and played with it for a few hours and everything works fine
it has a small screen and have rather big fingers but i still managed to type some messages and i think you have to practice a bit and get used to it
it works.
i called my father to test the phone part and is working very well , speaking with normal voice is clear to hear on the other side and the sound reproduction is quite decent and loud enough to
engage in normal conversation like with a normal fullsize smartphone
the software is sometimes leggy and also the screen is also no so responsive maybe it is because of my fingers i have a lot of callus and with casual
fingers it will work better
the installed software for hartmonitor works with sofware and the camera that did not work at all i had a hartrate of 260 superman??
It can be very usefull and handy and can be a lifesaver in a critical situation that`s for sure.
They claim that the watch is really dust and waterproof and i can say it is well build, i did not submerged the watch in a bowl of water to try it out,but i am confident that the watch will survive a shower
If u want to use this watch as a workhorse on daily basis this watch is certainly not for you and not recommended, it is a nice gadget and for the 78 dollars i payed for is worth the money
you are able to make decent phonecalls and will be always available without carrying a phone and can ideal for sports or other acitivity`s and situations where carying a full size phone is not so conveniant

Just got the ORDRO SW16 from Gearbest. Here's some first impressions:
1. Well built, feels good on the wrist, screen is decent and battery life (on WiFi/BT, don't have a SIM) is good as well.
2. ROOT is difficult to obtain. MTKDroidTools fails, Kingroot, Framaroot and Towelroot all fails. It wasn't until I tried Kingo Root is that Root was attained.
3. BE VERY CAREFUL when using that cradle. You can probably damage the watch by placing it on the cradle slightly tilted when it's plugged in. To elaborate, I cradled the watch and I put it at an angle, misaligning the cradle pins for an eighth of a second. Power probably went wrong way into the watch and caused a sudden shutoff. After reboot, the watch no longer recognizes the PC it is connected to, and my Windows 7 Laptop kept saying "USB Device Malfunctioned." I gave up on it, thinking I fried the USB chip, but it wasn't until 24 hours later that the USB port worked again! It was a scare. Make sure to cradle the watch properly first, then plug in the USB cord. Then unplug the cradle, before taking off the watch to prevent accidents.
4. It comes with Play Store and Google Play Services.
5. The Magnetic Compass is rather finicky and you have to hold it in weird angles to work. The GPS Antenna also acts weirdly and takes a while to get positioning.
6. Encryption is supported! You can Encrypt the phone storage, but you somehow can't encrypt the MicroSD Card from what I see. If there's an ADB Command to enable SD Card Encryption, can anyone post here?

I've been messing around with this watch for a few days now.
I am able to install TWRP and downgrade to Android 4.2 (to avoid 4.4 bugs).
I also managed to install SuperSU and Root Explorer but this does not work very well. Mostly because the screen is too small and the SuperSU Grant/Deny Prompts are obscured by the screen. Even after a workaround, Root Explorer is also limited since the screen isn't big enough to show the buttons at the bottom so you can't assign file permissions.
I will be attempting to mount the SD Card as Internal Storage, then encrypting the watch. Hopefully the "Internal Storage" (aka. SD Card) would also be encrypted as well.
Maybe I should write details how I did this or dump my 4.2 ROM for others to try? I still have not found a fix for the stuck compass needle.

Update.
I'm convinced the compass is defective. I've loaded the official ORDRO Rom, the iMacWear 4.2 ROM, iMacWear 4.4 ROM, some generic clone ROM (x01) and tried root and other variables in between.
None makes the internal compass work, it remains stuck. If you jiggle the watch hard enough or you tilt it in specific ways, you'd get small jumps of the compass working before getting stuck.
Right now I am going to try to reload the original ORDRO ROM to check functionality, then I will attempt to flash the Truesmart ROM. I've read that this is a bad idea, but at this point I am willing to try anything as I got the hang of recovering from bad flashes.

FINAL Update.
Truesmart ROM Freezes on startup. Reverted to Stock Firmware. Compass still stuck.
I think that's it for this experiment. I've wasted too much time trying to see what ROM would unstick the sensor. At this point I am going to return it since it's technically defective.

I know this is an old thread, but....
I was wondering if anyone has been able to install Google+ on this with any other ROM other than the factory?

I have Google+ working, using the location sharing so I know where my son is . I was getting an error about missing shared libraries before.
I first made a backup using MTK Droid Tools: http://www.chinaphonearena.com/foru...up-MTK6592-MTK6589-MTK6577-and-all-MTK-Phones
I then made flashed the recovery following this guide: http://www.gizbeat.com/5786/how-to-make-create-twrp-mt6592-mt6582-mt6572-mt6589-mt6595/
I cautiously ignored the oversized recovery error, it still worked. Afterwards I used the Power Menu app to reboot into recovery and flashed the kk gapps. Google Plus worked fine after that.

Hello. Does anyone know if the Ordro SW16 can be linked with a cell phone and receive notifications when calls and texts come in? Can you make a call from watch using Bluetooth? Thanks.

Hello. I have the same qüestion. Have you solved the problem for linking with a cell phone?.
Thanks.
