PROBLEM: touchscreen is not responding and after a hard reset (recommended by T-Mobile not so saavy techs) I got stucked in the "TAP THE SCREEN TO SETUP YOUR WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE" and since there is no "ESCAPE" button to skip this screen, I had a pretty much useless phone, I could only receive calls but not able to place any calls or have access to the start menu or any other function pretty much.
SOLUTION: after hours searching all over the internet, I found a very nice - FREE! - application designed for blind people to "SKIP" the align process, http://www.codefactory.es/en/ by CodeFactory. The application is called "REMOTE SCREEN ALIGNMENT" it is very easy and a quick way to skip the screen alignment process.
CONCLUSION: although it will not fix the unresponsive touch screen, it will at least let you access your phone through the buttons and slide out keyboard.
P.S.: there are many other tools and free apps there for a lot other phones.
ENJOY!

HTC Wings does not have touchscreen
maybe you are in the wrong section
Hey guys I have flashed my Kaiser with a clean rom last night, everything went awesome, phoned work excellent just the way I wanted, and my hands were wet as the phone rang and now all of a sudden my Touch Screen doesnt work, nothing seems to be wrong with the phone itself, everything is still displayed on the screen.
Now I might need to send it back for repairs, but I reset to factory defaults couple min ago, and it says "Tap screen to begin" and I can't get any further?
Active sync or nothing works in that stage, how is it possible that I can flash my kaiser back to factory defaults if this is the case?
Isnt there a way of skipping that "Tap screen to begin" message?
Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated.

Yo thanks man,
I have flashed my phone back to HTC's rom, touch screen still doesn't work, I can use the phone now again, I have skipped that process where it asks you to align the screen to begin with a program called Code Factory's Remote screen alignment (RSA)
Now I'm in Bahrain (middle east) at the moment, I bought the phone in South-Africa where I used to live, So I'm gonna have to use the phone for a while until I can send it in for repairs.
So just have one more problem, I can't seem to change the Main volume in the taskbar without using the touch screen, Is there any other way of changing the volume, coz I cant hear my phone when it rings at times.
Shot guys,
to adjust the volume, move the trackwheel up or down during a call, so you're gonna have to call someone.
as for vibrating, you've got me there
Man,that must be a pain that touch screen doesn't working.
Try googling MyMobiler, install on your PC, connect your PDA and it will autoinstall itself to your PDA too.
Run MyMobiler on the PC. Next thing you know you can control your PDA without even touching it at all ;-)
Cheers!

yo guys, just wanna let u guys know, the problem sorted itself out, in the future if you guys experience the problem, put ur phone close to a TUBE T.V, and let the static fix it for u, I was busy trying to get this OLD t.v sorted out in the Hotel where we are living in Bahrain, and I couldn't see at the back, and I used my phone as a flash light to see what's going on lol, and then my Touch screen started working again.........anyone care to explain this..?
Phone is in complete working order again, happy flashing for me once again hehe.
Man, I had the same problem and I was quite desperate. I was going to replace my Vodafone 1615 (the brandized version of Tytn II) when I found your post.
I put the phone near a CRT Monitor and then magically the touch-screen was working again!
Thank you to disclose your experience.
Can anyone explain why this might work?
I had the same problems. Touched yesterday mine htc kaiser with wet fingers and the touch screen did not respond. I thought that is the same problem with humidity that I had in Amazonia. That time it got solved by heating the phone with notebook. Pillow - kaiser - notebook for few hours :-D
But this time heating did not work... With doubt I approached old CRT tv and static energy from it SOLVED mine problem too. I am happy that I did not throw it away after buying LCD one. This is the time when new technology needs some old school energy :-D

Did you have the phone off or on , did you touch it to the screen or side of tv, and how long did you hold the phone there, this would be awesome if it works, I've been freaking out the last couple of days.
me too! i brushed my phone around the tv for 30 seconds.. no luck...

Static can kill touch screens
I killed my old WM2003 device by sliding down a plastic slide with my kids at the park.
Hi folks!
I had the same problem: change my at&t tilt rom/radio/spl to htc.
result: touch screen does not working!
The only way that i found is undo changes:
1º - installing and using: Remote screen Alignment to skip the first screen calibration. Just power on Tilt and wait until activesync are connected, so, run "remote screen alignment" and click skip, if the phone does not restart, do a soft reset.
2º - In the next power on, use activesync to copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your phone.
3º - use the buttons to navigate and execute JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe on the phone. (to execute JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe file use the ENTER key of the sliding keyboard).
4º- now just replace RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_.exe (OEM ROM i think)/ bootloader spl1.93.0/1.56 (maybe the screen problem occurs due the wrong spl/rom combination or newer spl like 3.28/3.29 ).
After these steps my AT&T Tilt touch screen is back to work!
Now i'm ready to try others roms again !!
PS: Sorry for poor english, if anybody don't understand anything just ask!

thank you so much for taking the time to post your solution! My kaiser was dead after it got soaked in vinegair..keys were sticky, device wouldnt charge or even turn on..
what i did is put the kaiser in a bowl of water and let it rest for a few hours. Then i took it out and put it in a bowl of uncooked rice (rice sucks up water!) and let it rest overnight. My kaiser came out great with everything working fine except....the touchscreen wouldnt respond. I flashed several roms but all to no avail.
I then followed your instructions and miraculously this strange at&t rom brought my touchscreen back to life!
So thanks again
Hey guys,
let me get to the point, ive got a diamond that for some reason doesn't pass the align screen after hard reset. So like i tap on the center of the target on the screen, and it does respond and moves to the other 4 corners, but at the end it asks me to align it again!
I tried that welcome.not trick to override the align screen and it worked, but obviously the screen doesn't function properly since i didn't align it. I even tried to instal the latest official ROM but it still doesn't pass the align screen.
Considering the fact that the screen responds, do you guys think its a hardware issue? if so is there a hardware diagnostic tool to test the screen?
thx alot
Unfortunately the display of my Diamond broke and now i can't use it anymore (touchscreen didn't work - phone still works (booting, ringing etc)). I want to make a backup with Active Sync and MyMobiler, but everytime I connect the Diamond with my PC it only starts the access to the in-build flash-memory. I cannot change the behavoir for starting in Active Sync-Mode on Diamond.
What can I do?
Screen acting weird.
I have a problem with my screen too. Sometimes I cant use my touchscreen anymore. When I turn off the screen and wait a little bit I can use it again. But lately another problem has occurred, my screen keeps on loosing its alignment.
Its almost like my screen is dying...
i recently had the same problem...my fone was fully functioning all apart from my touch screen itself... i had to painfully keep runing the screen alignment an now it is fine
The only solution I could think of would be to put a registry file containing the ActiveSync setting [instead of 'connect as removable drive'] onto the phone and try to start it using the hardware buttons.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the start menu without the stylus. But the hardware buttons allow you to scroll through the TouchFLO tabs so you're able to access the programs tab. Maybe you've assigned explorer or activesync to one of those buttons? If not, you're able to assign one even w/o the stylus. I failed to re-enable the settings tab so I don't know what's on it. Maybe that one helps, too.
When you connect your device to your PC you can change you connection optons with the hardware buttons. This way you can set it to activesync. this has also been my solution to get to the screen alignment settings via mymobiler. But now I need to get a stock dutch SPL so I can return my phone to repair the screen. I dont carry my laptop around at all times...
Calling all X1 medics, surgeons and miracle workers
Ok so last night the when i got out my car my X1 hit the ground in my pouch (leather ones) it beeps and i think nothing of it. When i take it out of my pouch i notice the screen is white.
So I do the following..
I try to reset via the power button..... no luck
Next i remove the battery, so obviously it works, so the phone boots up.
Now the interesting part, phone boots up completely when it comes the enter password numerical pad the touchscreen does not want to work.
So I use the qwerty to enter my code. Its works but still my screen it dead to touch.
So next i do a hard reset( maybe was not the best idea dunno?) and this where i am cause i cant get pass the "touch the screen to activate windows" bit to do the setup of windows.
I even tried installing the ROM again but still end up at the same screen.
So anyone got any ideas where the problem lies?
You guys think my touch screen has gone to heaven?
Anyone know if I can do a soft reset and upload to the stock ROM without using the touch screen and can it be done now that i cant get pass the set up screen?
Thanks guys
i believe there are some roms that doesn't require you to touch the screen to continue.
examples are roms using wm6.5. sometimes you have to confirm something, but you might get it done with the ok button.
Does the screen NEVER show any image or does it look normal until the touch-the-screen-exercise?
Hi
Well the touch screen comes up and seems to be active cause when the screen dims and you touch the screen it goes bright again.
Like i said i did a hard reset so now when i boot up i get to the screen alignment exercise and i cant get further than that.
It basically boots up as normal just cant use the touch screen.
When i rebooted the first time after it feel i managed to use the qwerty to log into the phone but i no able to use the touch screen.
I could see everything as per normal but the screen touch ability is gone.
Do any of you guys know if there is another url where i can find a UK Generic rom besides rapidshare as it looks like its going in for repair number 2.
I am just hoping i will able to to soft reset.
I did download a exe ROM file from the ftp site but got a file corrupt error when i tried extracting the file. I also noticed the file would have extracted as a image file. Is this correct as its the first time i have seen this.
Thanks
Are you using a screen protector?
i'm affraid to say, that it's broken digitizer
