i just bought mt tilt i installed the home plug in and it doesnt cover the entire screen. Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong. thanks
It's not supposed to cover the whole screen. Mine is only 1/2 covered and always has been that way, even on my 8525.
.:Christian:.
i mean the top and bottom is still blue. i even installed the black theme.
Then that's a theme issue, not a plugin issue. Two different things...
I have searched for solutions for the past 2 days but cant find one, if i missed it or this post is redundant , i apologize in advance.
Now my tilt is driving me crazy. It started last week when The touch screen wasnt working, but i fixed it by doing a couple of soft resets. then all the sudden, everytime i slide my keyboard out, the touch screen would stop responding. this went on for a day, then yesterday, when i tired to use the keyboard, the screen went blank, like the light died or something. but when i put it back on portrait, the screen would light up again.
A few moments later, the touch was responding, tried to use the keypad then the screen went blank..tried soft resets about 5 times and uninstalled all recent added programs (skyfire) ..finally the screen was working but the touch still wasnt working.
So this morning, i had the bright idea to do a hard reset....dumbest idea ever cos now its stuck at the screen where i have to "tap the screen to set up your wm device" and guess what..the touch screen isnt responding
plz i really need help with this. all so , i have a broken tilt.., well lcd screen is cracked...can i try to dismantle both tilts and replace the screens?
Ok, i used Code Factory's Remote screen alignment to bypass the alignment, but if i cant use the touch screen or the keyboard, the phone is pretty much useless for sending any information or making calls..is there a way to fix this?
I have had this same issue with my tilt. I could use the scroller on the left side of the unit to navigate but no touch screen. Both times that this has happened to me I removed the screen protector that I had on and restored a backup that I had on my storage card (I run a backup weekly). This has always fixed my issue. You could try another hard reset, not sure if that will help but do you get any lights on the keyboard when you slide it open? Is your tilt less than a year old because there is a manufacturer's warranty too.
Jim
when i slide the keyboard, i do get lights on the keyboard but not on the screen...it just goes dead..but when i slide it back in, the screen comes to life.
I cant do another hard reset cos i have to input the "1,2,3,4" code.
Also , the phone just got out of the 1yr warranty this month...awesome
I want to buy a replacement screen with a new digitizer but i need to be sure that is the problem.. ive searched for this keyboard problem but still have no answers
Now I'm having the same issue, touch not responding. I first noticed it about two days ago, when I slide the keyboard out, I could type just fine, but when I went to send the message the touch screen wouldnt work, so I'd close the keyboard and it would work. well yesterday it stopped working all together, so i used my d-pad and did a sprite restore and it started working again. But then On my way home i hit the lock button, and it stopped working after that, and I couldn't get it unlocked. I used the inner soft key to hit the first part of unlock, but then I couldnt ever figure which button to hit to get the on screen part of the unlock. So I had no choice but to do a hard reset, and just like highoct now I'm stuck on the stylus setup , and the touch still doesnt respond. does anybody esle have any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.
You can use the Code Factory's Remote screen alignment to bypass the alignment.
If the touch screen is the only problem, you can do one of two things if you are no longer under warranty;
1. Fix it yourself. You will have to buy a new Lcd screen with new digitizer at ebay and use this site http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_kaiser/ to open up your tilt and replace it
2. Send it to a repair shop, I had two tilts and sent the one with the broken screen to www.missionrepair.com got it back in a within a week, $89.00 plus shipping

I still have the same tilt with the original problem..havent found a solution yet
Oh yeah, I did manage to do a hard reset again, but now the screen is just white. I can hear the sound of it booting up but it still has a white screen. I tired going to the Bootloader screen ( Camera and power at the same time)...still have the white screen. I believe its a hardware problem but i don't know what it is...any ideas?
Ok now I've done a hard flash, using the same HTC kaiser rom 6.1 and it fixes the problem for a little bit, until the first time I slide out the keyboard , then the screen stops working again, any suggestions ?
iPhone 3G Screen Repair...finally an affordable answer
If you are reading this, you are most likely in the same dilemma I was in. I dropped my phone and picked it up only to find out that the glass screen was cracked. I took my broken phone to apple and found out it would cost me $199. I then was told about iPhone 3G Screen Repair. They offered the iPhone 3G glass screen repair for only 69.99. They repaired my phone the same day they received it. I was very happy with the repair!

I know this thread is a bit old but was searching d forum for possible solutions cos yesterday i developed the same exact problem on my kaiser for no apparent reason!..flashing it hasnt helped and now im stuck on the wm setup screen..when u say u still have the same tilt with the original problem do you mean that the repair was unsuccessful? have you tried reparing it yourself? Thanks
I just started to have the same problem, it started out with the touch not responding (which a few soft resets fixed) and now the whole screen doesn't function unless i slid out the keyboard or if i jiggle it around and open it a couple of time i can usually find a spot that allows the screen to function with the keyboard closed. If i leave it in this position for about an hour the touch starts responding again, wtf. This is very inconvenient because as soon as you move the screen even just a little it will take me like half an hour to find the position which allows the phone to function.

same thing happened to me 3 days ago. touchscreen has just stopped responding.
it still worked when i slided my keyboard out, but only when it was out. then i realized it won't work at all (!) after soft reset. however, i could make it work again like that when i did the soft reset with the keyboard out. weird.
i tried searching, and decided to make a hard reset, flash a new rom, etc, etc., but no more touchscreen. at all. the device doesn't feel any touch in any case. nothing. i bypassed the beggining tap here with the storage card trick. (i've read it somewhere on the forum).
now i can only use my kaiser with the hw buttons, the keyboard, and that's it. no touch. really weird. please if anyone has any updates, solutions, anything, post. sniff sniff
mine doesn't have anything on the screen unless i slide it out, if i have it closed anymore, it just doesn't work at all.
try this:
ive just replaced my barely functioning lcd by myself, after living with it sometimes registered the stylus jumping around when i used the stylus. but before you change your lcd, here is a couple of tips for you guys:
1) try sliding out the keyboard. hold one finger in the middle of the keyboard and another on the back side of the phone, and squeeze hard, but careful. it might be that the flat cable between the screen part and the main part has loosened a bit from its socket, this could help it back in.
2) try sqeezing the hang up button hard. this might help the lcd-cable correctly back in its socket if it is loose.
im saying that this MIGHT help, if youre lucky. most likely you have to open the phone and squeeze the connectors back in yourself, or actually change the entire lcd. anyways, let me know what works for you!!

well, i tried both tips, but they didn't work. i'd like to say a big thanks anyway!
then i grabbed the kaiser service manual and took my device apart into pieces. i reconnected pretty much all the cables and stuff, but still no touchy. any further ideas?
you should try replacing the screen. im happy to say that this screen from this seller on eBay worked for me: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250539984183

thanks for your help, i've just ordered a new screen! phew, i hope it's gonna work
before i got my Acer F900, i dont like it that much since it' the bigger size then HTC HD or iphone. but after i got the phone, i dont notice that much different in size. haha
there is no d-pad on the phone, u press the volume + and - to go up and down. i still havnt figure out how to go left or right yet.
there is a green led blinking when the phone is on which i like, that u dont see that often on htc phones anymore? haha
i believer Acer tweaks (software) is better then HTC!
their task manger show how many Free Ram is avail, i guess you need it since phone only got 128ram. but i havnt encounter any problems with only 128ram.
their flash rom is kinda low, only 256meg, i always run out of storage if i want to install everything to internal storage (i never have this problem with Sony X1, or diamond, or fuses) but you can install most programs to microSD.
when phone is "device locked" on today screen, you press screen to wake up to check clock, phone goes back to sleep in 5 seconds (which is nice) to save battery.
on phone dialer, there is a "blacklight off" option for 5, 10, 15, 30 seconds, never. on my sony X1 with custom rom, phone dialer stay ON forever unless i press "power" to turn off blacklight.
PRO: big screen 3.8" WVGA 800x480!
ATT 850 and 1900mzh 3G !!
thin compares to phones with qwerty keboard (f900 got no keyboard)
CON: i dont like the action/enter button on top right corner (near volume buttons), i have to reach all the way up there if i want to press enter! i perfer it at buttom of screen like other phones!
no 3.5mm jack.
not sexy! just look like any other phones, my silver sony X1 is sexy! haha
conclusion: get this phone if you want big screen (3.8" WVGA) and USA 850/1900 3G! other phones with big screen only have 1900 3G, not 850.
if you a sexy phone, get silver sony x1!, but with smaller 3.0" WVGA screen.
sounds good..what CPU / mhz is on board?
also, does it feel fast or lagging?
Samsung 533mzh, currently all htc phones is at 528mzh.
good thing Acer put their rom on website already.
just did a reflash rom, screen is not responding after installed some programs.
try to do a hardreset, manual said power + reset, then action button.
where the [email protected]#$ is "action" button? i dont see no "action button", tried all other button, it not working. so i reflash the rom.
A couple of problems with my Acer F900... Other people?
I got my Acer F900 just yesterday from Expansys. I'm happy to report that the phone works very well on the US AT&T UMTS network.
I'm less happy to report a couple of very annoying problems:
1) When the device is powered off (with the button on its left side), it can't be turned back on. Actually, the power seems to come back since I can see the power LED start to blink but the screen is never re-activated. The only way I've found to re-activate the screen is to reset the device.
2) A minor problem is the Comm Setup Wizard's database lists old settings for AT&T's network. I can enter the information manually. Much more important is that every time I reset the device (quite often because of problem #1), the phone forgets the connection settings and I have to re-enter them.
I suspect that the problem behind #2 is a startup program in the registry that doesn't get cleared out. There are several start up programs listed (according to MemMaid) and I'm hesistant to just stop them all without some guidance.
I'm running ROM 1.02, the latest according to Acer's site. I haven't tried reflashing the ROM because that's kind of a pain and it seems to be the same version.
As for #1, I have no idea what the problem is. Has anyone run across something similar?
Also, does anyone know of forums specifically for the Acer F900? I realize that this is off-topic for xda.
Thanks!
Mark
#1: setting -> system -> backlight -> backlight level, make sure
auto-adjust backlight by battery level
and
auto adjust backlight by idle time ARE CHECKED.
2. setting -> connections ->connections -> advanced -> select networks, make sure both box says "MY ISP", then press ok
Well, half of the problem is fixed. The phone no longer loses the AT&T data settings every time I reset, but I still need to reset every time the phone turns off.
Thanks for the backlight level but it doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm convinced the problem isn't a screen brightness issue. When the phone is off, it doesn't receive text messages or phone calls. Any idea what the problem might be? Do you think it could be a hardware problem?

phone is off? dont u mean when backlight goes off? if u cant receive SMS or phone calls, usually the phone is freezed or locked up.

the F900 has some + & - keys on the side, do they move the selection (eg. in a menu, scroll up/down in the browser etc.) or do they just change the volume?

Thanks for your help but I've decided to return the device to expansys for an exchange. I hope I don't have this problem with the next one!

yes, the + and - button move up and down (scroll up/down, phone volume).
when in browser, it moves 1 line at a time, maybe there is a registry setting to make it move 1 page at a time.
but there is no button to move left or right.

Sounds like good news for me!
Up / down is enough for me, at the moment I'm using a winmobphone with keyboard, dpad and scroll wheel, and I just need the scroll/up down feature, so it's Ok to lose some weight
Btw: at least the opera browser can be configured to scroll one page at a time
Thx again for your answers

WAP: 66.209.11.61:9201
Secure WAP: 66.209.11.61:9203

Could you pls tell me what the correct settings should be?
Thx.

Hi, if you like to hear some anwers from me:
No, it doesn't feel big to me, my previous phone with keyboard was much thicker, but I don't need the keyboard, so I bought one with out.
I paid over 400€ for it, I'm sure it's quite cheaper now, but wouldn't buy it anymore, there are much cooler phone out now, like the acer neotouch or the htc touch hd2.

Ocassionally, the whole of the start bar across the top of the screen vanishes, it just goes blank and nothing is visible or clickable along the top (ie, all the little icons such as battery, signal indicator, start button, etc). Rebooting the phone restores it. Anyone else come across this before and is there a solution?
Mine occasionly does that, and the other odd thing it does is leave the small keyboard symbol at the bottom of the screen, not very often but once it's there it's a nightmare to shift, it eventually sorts itself out without soft reset, no idea why it does it, there seems to be no consistency to when it happens either.
Mine does this too but i found opening and closing the camera (which i have on a soft key) brings it back again.

I shall try that. This little start bar problem has been doing it more than usual in the last couple of days.
It happened again just now and I hadn't assigned my camera yet. HOWEVER, I have tomtom assigned to the today screen and opening and closing tomtom brought the start bar back.
I think any full screen program should do it, maybe it just needs to be refreshed which doesn't happen with a non full screen program

It happened again a moment ago. This time I clicked on 'No unread messages' on the today screen (I don't use touch flo at the moment btw just standard WM interface) which brought up my text messages and returned the start bar.
This is why we all love Windows Mobile lol
Now there is another long topic on freezing, but its basically about 10seconds freeze , then things normal and stuff. Mine is different so I made a new topic.
Have sprint note. On Marshmellow now but happened on Lollipop as well.
The problem is:
After several hours of use, or may even a day, the phone just freezes....partly. Let me explain. Basically if you touch anywhere on the screen, it won't register the touch. If you hit the hard recents button, it'll show recents, but you can't click any program (it doesn't register your touch). When it first happened I thought I needed a new screen, but quickly found out I probably don't: If I hit the nav bar, it will pull down full screen, and if I have it full of notifications, I can click any of the notifications, whether its near the top, middle, or bottom, and it registers the touch and sends me to the app. But then again, at that app, the screen doesn't register. Even if I touch in the same place on the screen where I clicked the notification that sent me to the app. But the nav bar still works. It recognizes the touch, and will pull down full screen, and I can click anywhere on the screen and my touch will register. Also if I hold the power button and the reboot options come up (which on mine has option from top down to bottom, I can click any option on the screen, and it will register my touch. But if I hit the home button, the whole screen is non responsive. So I have a partial freeze. The whole screen doesn't work, but then the whole screen will work when I pull the nav bar down, so im totally confused. I already tried usually differnt launchers, but same thing, after while, screen will be non responsive
If I reboot then everything works fine and normal, so I doubt its a screen issue. Because if its broke its broke. Also tried a hard reset,problem still came back. I guess it may be an app clashing problem but I have over 100 apps it could be any one of them
Has anybody experienced something similar?
I had a buddy give me an LG Lucid3 that had a similar issue... It actually got worse over time and the touchscreen totally stopped working. (He thought) I took it apart and actually the connection was good. Put it back together and just kept rebooting it multiple times in a row. Finally, the touch started to work a little an for some reason I thought to go and download an antivirus program. The phone had 11. Got rid of them and phone has been working fine for a couple weeks now. Idk if that's your problem but I figured I'd share this experience because I've never seen anything like it.
