XDA IIi Screen alignment trouble

Hi all
I have a problem with the screen alignment on my XDA IIi. I can get through the alignment tool fine and the 5 points match up correctly - however between the 5 points things can get quite far out of place. I tested this by trying to draw straight lines in notepad - the lines were very wonky, except for the sections near alignment points.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any software with more alignment points or any other possible fix.
Thanks in advance.

wow...rare case dude...never heard of anything of that kind..i guess you must have dropped it or better yet try Performing a hard reset, it may solve the problem...you must have installed a program that cause it to behave this way...

bushako
and oh yeah dont forget to back up,hehe

Yeah tried a hard reset... still no luck :\
I wonder if i should open it up and have a poke around.

Before you do that you might want to read on how the early Hermes were fixed, ie sliding a business card around the frame of the screen.
However, from personal experience, I once screwed up my touchscreen by sliding a screen protector up too high, so be careful. You might just open it up and take your chances there instead
Check out a service manual if you have access.

Dude did u get it fixed..i think im facing the same problems now...when aligning the screen the 4 points match up correctly but also wen i draw something using 3rd part programs like pocket artist..id try to draw a straight line at the bottom of the screen and instead it appears curved..and when typing messages i always end up inserting the wrong characters even though i point at the correct letters...i tried swapping a telephone card inbetween the screen and the panel but it didnt make much difference...i can open it up and take a look but i dont think much can be done either...so if anyone else is facing this problem and have resolved this issue..please let me know...

yes, same as me.
whenever I tried to hit space bar, the button above the space bar will be pressed instead :-(
can anyone come up with the solution on this device problem ?

anyone got a solution for this?
I am experiancing the same problems basically I think the manufacturer installed protective screen has come loose from the hard sensor (due to use?) and so the stylus is pushing on an air bubble.
I dont know whether to cut out that layer with a scalpel (carefully or not) and use normal screen protectors that stick properly ... has anyone done this before?

Yes, you could be right relbourn, at first I was suspecting the screen protector causing this problem but
hm.. I've tried even to remove the screen protector and did HARD RESET as well but still......... the problem can't be solved :-| gees...
any idea ? instead of replacing the touch screen ?
any suggestion or similar problem with this ?

Touch screen stop responding

Hi everybody
I did a hard reset to my phone this morning, everything worked fine, i took the phone with me to work, and there, I discovered that the touch screen would stop responding.
I tried soft reset few times, didn't helped.
Then I tried Hard reset which also didn't helped - I am now stuck on the Align Screen thing.
1- what can I do to solve it? I have tried blow trying my phone gently for a while in case some moisture got inside somehow. I also tried to clean the edges of the screen with a business card.
2- will att help me with this? I bought this phone on Ebay few months ago. the phone is less than a year old. all I got is the HTC imei and unlocking code.
Any help?

I'm sure that somebody here have an advice for me

Not sure if this'll help you, but I had a similar problem, and what was causing it was the screen protector had slipped and was squeezed between the casing and the screen itself down one side - one I removed and replaced the screen protector, it worked fine.

what else coult it be?

I had a similar issue yesterday. I am using Dutty's v2 ROM. My problem started when I tried to enable TouchFlo. I could not get the TouchFlo to work and I did not have a lot of time to play with it. After 30 minutes, Goodlink locked the phone and when I went to unlock, the touch screen did not work. I did a soft reset and that did not help. I had to go back thru and disable TouchFlo and do a soft reset. This fixed it for me.

How can I disable the touchflo if I have no access to the control panel. I am stuck in the align screen after a hard reset

I just put the file there and it skipped the align screen.
The setting for the touchflo are only enabling/disabling the sound when scrolling. how can I disable it?

HELPppppp!

if you already did a hard reset, and its still not responding, it most likely is a hardware problem.

First...
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FLASHED THE PHONE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL RADIO AND ORIGINAL ROM!!!
Second...
Call AT&T. Tell them you have a tilt cell phone and you need to warranty exchange it because the touch screen stopped working.
Third...
Tell ATT that you already hard reset, you already soft reset, and you have already factory reset the phone. Then tell them you have NO additional software on the phone, no installed programs, and have changed nothing.
They will ask you some questions, get your imei# and etc. etc.... then they'll make sure you still have a warrantly remaining. If THAT phone still has a warranty remaining, you should be able to get it exchanged.
Let us know what happens. It DEFINITELY sounds like a hardware issue.

I would go for the business card trick again, it surelly sounds like you have something between the casing and the screen. Perhaps you should try with an other "object" to clean between the screen and casing.

Yup agreed, i have had this very same issue, I just ran my finger nail around the edge of the screen under the casing. Even a small build up of dust can cause this issue.
Good Luck

Thanks all for the help.
I tried fingernails, business card, everything. not working
Installed 2 different tweak apps (KaiserTweak , PocketTollMan) to disable the touchflo. Both can not be controlled at the relevant areas without the touch screen. God, it's getting complicated.
Should I open the case around the screen and make sure everything is clean?

i agree with this one, i would just do this.... since you have pretty much done everything there is to do... plus if you exchange it... you wouldnt be left back on anything since you have already hard reset your phone so your would just be right back in the same place....

Has anyone seen this problem before? - See Photo

Hi all,
My Vario 3 was in my pocket and the keylock wasn't on so buttons where being pressed at random.
Looking at the screen there is now a permanent white column to the left. It doesn't matter what program I display, it's always there, I've rebooted the device and the thing won't go away. (see attached photo)
Any ideas what may be causing this?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried hard reset?

same thing happened to my Hermes, went away after a hard reset.

Thanks for the replies,
By hard reset I'm guessing you mean to remove the battery, wait a while, then put battery back and boot up?
I did that a few times and it's still there...
Any other ideas?
PS. I've attached another image showing the white column against the WM6 bootsplash screen

No, hard reset is something different. Check my signature to see what a soft reset and hard reset are and how to perform them.

Just performed a hard reset and it's STILL there!

hard reset means that you will lose all your data...
are you sure you did that?
if you did that and the screen is still like that, then maybe your screen has become faulty, which means you will have to change to a new screen if that white bar really bothers you that much.
I think it costs around £70 to £80 for a new screen.
If you have insurance with your service provider they might just give you a new phone.

Yep, Hard Reset wiped all my data clean off.
Yikes, so it could be a column of dead pixels!

try going into bootloader mode. if it is still there, then maybe your screen is to blame.

What about trying to realign the screen?

@Elisha
Yep. Still there on bootloader screen
@Mikulec
How do you realign the screen?

if it is hardware related, you will need to get a new screen. you can get it here: http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-iitilt-screen-p-2032.html

Thanks, I assumed you meant you could somehow move the screens x-axis, I've tried calibrating the stylus but to no avail
Looks like it is hardware related then.

you could try a new ROM but if bootloader screen looks like that too, i doubt the new rom will help any.

Oh well, I'll make do for now and then maybe look into upgrading to a new handset in the not too distant future.
btw, What's the next in line to the Kaiser? Raphael?

Thats a good question, some say yes and some say no, the Raphael has less hardware buttons and not ahve tilted screen. So make your decision.
Maybe u can wait a little, nvidias chips look awsome, look at nvidia tegra.

Mikulec,
Wow! That looks great! No tilt, but hey with those specs I could plug it into a hdmi monitor and forget about the tiny screen altogether! I'm sold!
Thanks to all that have helped diagnose the problem with my Kaiser!

Please Help White screen, discoloration, and unresponsive touch

Hi all,
I have a T-mobile wing and it has the stock rom on it. Also, it is not hard spl anymore. I used to have open touch 6.1 lite diamond. The phone turns on and makes the keyboard sound. When it turns on there is a white screen but if you move the screen out so that the keyboard is visible you can see a discolored screen with windows mobile on it. Also, you cannot use the touch screen. The farthest you can get is the welcome screen that has the align screen but it wont align. Would anyone be kind enough to please help me with this issue. I greatly appreciate the help and great thanks to all in advance. I have read around in the forums and it says to buy a new screen, a digitizer, or fix the display drivers. I currently think it might be a software problem but I do not know where to start. Again any help is appreciated and thank you all again in advance for your help.

Have you given the unit some time indoors to warm up? Working for Garmin tech support, I have seen many wierd thing go on with screens and electronic device as a whole when it starts getting cold outside.
Then again, it may be something that is going on with the software of the phone. Something along the lines of a display driver.

Thank you very much for responding. Yes, I have let the unit warm up. At first this problem went away but it came back after. What do you mean by display drivers? Do you think I should hard-spl again and try a new rom? And if that doesn't work, should i open up the unit and see if the cable it tightly attatched? Before the discoloration, I was able to use my phone with open touch 6.1 lite, but there was a white screen when the keyboard was not visible. Also, when i moved the keyboard, the phone would work by allowing to me call and text but it would freeze a lot. I hope this clarification helps.

Mod please move to herald section because this topic may or may not pertain to herald mobile 6.
Would anyone please help me I would greatly appreciate any advice, thanks in advance to all. p.s. I added pics and the touch screen doesn't work, the physical keys kind of work when the screen is viewable.

Reply please!
did you ever figure it out!? oh wow finally i found someone with a similar problem. my wing was in my pocket at work when the first similar signs arose. ITS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW! it did that for a while and now the screen is just all white=( PLEASE help! anything would be good. i just want to know if its fixable or should i just get a new phone. you can email me too at [email protected]

Help with touch related problem

Hi guys,
My Xperia ZR started behaving abnormally some days back, I put "screentouchtest" app and found that there were random inputs on the phone which made the phone go useless... Check the screen shot attached.
So I tried to make an app that will disable only that part on my screen and I was successful at it... Check screenshot attached. I could then at least use my phone to some extent.
But now the frequency of these random touch inputs have increased and that has made it again go unusable...
Problem is that I made this app as a floating app and whenever user touches other part of the phone , touch below the unblocked area is activated.
SO now I wanted to disable the touch completely over this area...any help will be appreciated.
Sony says it is due to water logging in the motherboard and no warranty will be given.

You are not alone!
Having the same problem here. Random touch inputs on the top right corner of device. I can assure you it's not because of water log of any sorts because i have opened ,checked, dried and even tested the touch display. Its a software related issue I guess which I am not able to pinpoint or understand. I wish someone from the forum helps with it.

water logging? did your phone get wet some time? its waterproof phone and no warranty given? :laugh: screw sony in consumer court

If you think its a software problem, i'll try putting some custom ROM.

Yeah I know Its waterproof. My brother was using it so not sure if there was water logging. But when we went to customer service the condition of the mobile was not good(Plastic that covers charging port was loose) so couldnt fight actually.

Sorry to say unfortunately custom ROM doesn't help either. After I installed one just to see if the problem persists, To my surprise it didn't! But after a week or so the pendulum was back to square one. So I had to roll back. I really don't know how to go about this problem I think the problem is because of a bug of some sorts which causes the chip to send signals to the display addressing that its being touched or whatever. Anyway this is just my guess. You can try installing a custom ROM for your device and see if the issue ceases. In that case my problem would be just device specific. Do share your results after you install a custom ROM :good:.

May be there is a problem with the touch digitizer under the LCD panel which is misbehaving. No software can fix it. You will need to replace the touch digitizer along with LCD screen as they are sold as single unit. Check online if you can find the parts and ask any local mobile repairer to replace it. :good:

NO Luck with Custom ROM
I put Android Lollipop (CM12 Port) and there have been no change. Looks like the problem is with digitizer, last time I told local repair shop to replace the screen they said they cant separate the screen and had no clue. But I searched and found out from youtube videos that it can be done. Now all I have to do is buy Screen+Digitizer.
As you can see the random touch strip have moved little upwards from my earlier screenshots. That happened months back. If anyone wants the app I made then let me know. It helps me to some extent.

Since there are random touches on my phone, I made app that blocks this touch... Check the screenshots, I have "Show Touches" Option ON from Developer Settings. This makes all the touches show white marker... So I made app that floats over the screen and wont show any response when there are touches over that area. "Semi Transparent Area" in the screenshot - Touch wont work over that part. App wont completely disable the touch though, if we press other part of screen for that time app gets disabled...

Finally, a solution. Time for a digitizer+screen. Thank you guys.

Hey what is the app you made? I'm in the same boat but can't really afford a new digitizer....

Yep i need it too. It will be greatly appreciated if you share your app here. Thanks in advance.

sorry guys for late reply!
I am attaching the apk here...

I have this problem too but it only happens if the phone screen get wet
Some time it happen randomly but when i press on the screen at bottom and on led gently it disappear and back to normal

Thank you!
The Float APK solved the major issue of my faulty touch screen in my Nexus 4. There are two lines in my screen where the touch is not working anymore. One of them is having several crazy clicks making my phone somehow useless. By using this app, I can prevent that, which is great!
Two issues I've got:
- the textbox to set the distance from the top is located exactly in the first dead line! So I need to turn my phone sideways to be edit to click there and edit its value.
- when using the phone in horizontal mode, blocked zone turns as well, but the faulty zone is fixed there.
I'm wondering if you might share with us the source code or maybe you consider to make some improvements on it?
Thank you so much for sharing this app here!

thanks for this app solution.
I too have problem of ghost touches. This app definately helps with that and makes the phone somewhat usable again.
The only problem is that some ghost touches are continous (it's like someone presses their finger on the screen and keeps holding it there). This makes action by other touches unresponsive.
Maybe we can find a solution for this in the float app?

Source code for the app
Finally since many of you requested, here is the source code! - Stop Touch - Source Code
