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 ?

my diamond is crazy!!! Help!!!!

from several days ago whem i touch in diamond icons never select the one i touch!!!... It selects the icon on left or right but never the right one....
When i have a phone call i select the green icon and it turns the phone off
What can i do?
I aligned the screen thousands of times, i installed the different calibrators and nothing.
I align screen, it works well for a few seconds and becomes crazy again. I soft reset, a tried everything i remember and always the same.....

Obvious question: Did you Hard Reset?

Try a hard reset.
If that doesnt work then it sounds like the screen is screwed, get the unit swapped.

I've just installed a new rom! I think i have to swapp the unit
The problems are the same. Anything more i can do??

If you just installed a new ROM, did you do a hard reset? To me it sounds as if the calibration for the touch sensor is off. The first thing that you do after a hard reset is calibrate the screen.

So you can try to calibrate the screen, bofore doing the hard-reset.

You can but when you hard reset you just have to do it again

Also, you could check your local optician for any additional problems.
No, but honestly, a hardreset and recalibration should fix the problem. I'm aware that GNes/GSen can give some problems if it thinks it has rotated the screen, but I've never seen that occur outside programs that don't rotate the screen by themselves.
If that doesn't work, Sync it, back it up, whatever you want to do, possibly flash to stock and return it to whereever you bought it/HTC to get it swapped.

thank's everybody... I tried it all and the same. Going to swapp

have the same problem.. it wasn't there before, had the phone for 3 month.. i think it has to do with water under the screen, used it in the rain and then it began to behave this way (due to the big speaker hole maybe?) , it works fine otherwise! Any idea how to fix it? waterdamage? - guarantee or what?
I think it´s wierd if you can´t use it when it´s raining..?

How many phones can be used risk free in rain?

i don't think that's the problem. no water in my phone, rain or other....
i think it started after gsen installed...may be wrong, or else or.....

Very little chance Gsen having anything to do with it. Many people are using that (including me) with no ill effects.

Hmmm, I though I was the only one with this problem. I'm on the second unit now, the first one always do soft reset by itself after every few wake up. Now the alignment always gone off after few minutes of use. I'm waiting for the replacement unit now.
Initially I thought it was because of the ROM update I did, but even after I restore the original ROM, it still happen.
Looks like I'm quite unlucky with the Diamond .

problem solved!!!!
gone to look for assistance.
After 3.30 hours new touch screen and they sad to me new components inside.
For now all good. Till when??....
hope it was the last problem

So its a guarantee issue? - bad components inside?
It still works ok, so i wait to send it away..

till now all ok.

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
or from fleabay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Full-Original-LC...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks for the links
@Mikulec
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!

Keyboard doubles n and m when typing

I don't know if it's the new rom or just the 'age' (3 month now)...
But since approx. two weekes, by typing messages on the x1 keyboard it doubles or even tripples the letter n, sometimes m? This very annoying...
Anyone have the same problem? All other keys work normal...
Anyone knows how to set a delay at the keyboard? When I press a key and hold it, it take half a second or so until it multiplys the letter. This time i would like to change. Any registry entry?
Thanks for the help...

same issue .. not only m and n on my side..
refer to this post 4 further infos...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483644

same mine. it's only dust

Mine's the opposite. My 'M' doesn't seem very sensitive. My words always seem to miss that 'M'. But the one that's real sensitive is the '.'. That seems to appear all the time.

it started like this with me .. the "M" alone was the problem ..
now the whole keyboard triples EVERYTHING ! -.-''
we really need help

I had that issue briefly with a R2A German Generic I tried. Never happened again though .

You can improve the situation by lowering the rate at which your key strokes are repeated by going to Settings > Buttons then on the "Up/Down Control" tab if you move the first slider to Slow and the Repeat Rate slider to Slow then the problem sort of "disappears"

I had the same issue with a lot of keys, i, m,n,k,l etc...
I did a hard reset and upgraded my rom, installed sms-chat... did everything but the issue persisted.
Finally i took it to the service center and they replaced the plate underneath which senses the keystroke.
It works fine now...

i dunno about u guys
but i spent all night cleanning the keyboard & its working fine now
its hard ,i used a YouTube video.

Exactly how did you cleaned your keyboard? I want to clean it by myself too.. Which tools did you use?

I used this vedio Xperia X1 - Disassembly Rear
Its harder than it looks , if you try it be VERY carefull as the parts can be easily broken​

Thanks a lot man!.. i'll give it a try and post the results cause this is a very common problem with the x1's. And probably as common as the cracks on the silver x1's.
Again.. Thanks a lot!

try this fix
i got this cab a while back for this problems, seems to work on wm6.5 also

disassembling did not help - there was no part to clean or to mechanically tighten.

Ok, I have done it oncemore - and it seems it helped. Although I am sure it was not dirty from "outside". I would say, it was the sticker or the glue from the sticker which made the contacts dirty.

how does this work what does it do any idea?

I haven't read through all the thread, but I can tell everyone who has this keyboard problem of multiple keystrokes and no keystrokes that it is HARDWARE and it can get worse over time. It can be sometimes lessened by some software tweaks but.... don't expect anything major.
I had the same issue, first starting with "f" then spreading over to space, l, m, n and a lot more keys.
The phone was sent to repair three times with no improvement until the third time when it was replaced. I sent it to Flextronics in Newmarket, ON with an RMA# from Sony Ericsson. I still have the worksheets and everything else if anyone wants to make a sticky because I see a lot of posts about this.
My original phone was a 08W36, I now have a 09W30 with no problems so far...
Better get it fixed before it goes out of warranty.
For those of you out of warranty, I think there were a few threads about this explaining how to disassemble the keyboard and clean the plates.

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
