Bypassing WM6 Welcome screen and screen calibration - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

the touchscreen in my TYTN II isn't working now and i couldn't get past the welcome screen and screen calibration (with the cross sign going to the 4 corners of the screen).
Is there a way (or ROM build) that bypasses the screen until i get a new digitizer, thanks

Touch screen alignment problem (h/w not s/w)

I dropped my XDA IIi, I've been luckier than many as the phone is fine, the only thing that isn't fine is that the touch screen and the LCD have become misaligned.
There's no problem with the majority of the screen because I just re-aligned it with the screen aligning software, but theres a 3mm or so are on the left of the screen that will not work due, I assume, to the screen slipping when dropped.
How easy is it to fix?

Screen Align not working? DOA?

Hi, Just got my MDA Vario III, and it appears the screen alignment that WM runs on first boot will not work. By that I mean its asks me to align the screen, but it will not register the taps with the stylus or fingers.
However, it does know when I touch the screen as it brings it out of powersave. I downloaded this Remote Screen Alignment program, which is able to skip the screen align process, but then when I have done that the taps from the screen are all over the place - because the screen hasn't been aligned. The keyboad works fine for navigation around the menu's.
Does this sound like a DOA device? Or am I missing something stupid?

It might be a simple loose connection or something trapped between screen and bezel. But I would not be even thinking about that, it would be going straight back under warranty. Thankfully, this is not a common problem with the Kaiser and I think you have just been unlucky.
I assume you have not put on any screen protector that might be causing this behaviour> Otherwise it is a DOA and nothing you can/should do other than return.

Thanks. I hope its not common! No screen protector, but I did try one first before first boot. I immediately removed it when the taps weren't working. I'll send it back tomorrow, thanks.
Dont tap. Just lightly drag the end of the stylus around each target until it proceeds to the next one.
It's common and should be fine.
Thanks unwired. Whilst that does get a response from the TyTn II, and moves the align crosshair, unfortunately it just loops the alignment process indefinitely. Arranged an exchange with T-Mobile without a problem

If the future device does it, just try what I suggested but be as accurate as you can.
Unwired's method works for me as well. My Kaiser always seems to lose the ability to detect stylus presses (but finger pressure works) every time I use it on a plane which I assume is due to the cabin pressure. When the screen is reset, everything goes back to normal. Has anyone else noticed this, or do I have some defect that is only going to get worse?
I got the second Kaiser, and it happened again. But I immediatley used unwireds method, this time being extremely precise and only moving the stylus slightly. It works fine now, and stylus accurancy seems to be ok.
I still think it's strange, as I have had an HTC XDA before and a tap was sufficient on the screen align process. Furthermore it clearly states "tap screen" not "tap and drag".
My last three Wm devices (Prophet, Hermes and Tytn 2) have all been reticent to respond to alignment taps... but carefully moving the stylus around the target has always fixed it.

For me it is more like 'tap-and-hold'. I make a firm tap on the '+' symbol, then keep the stylus pressed on the screen for one second, then release. The '+' then moves to the next alignment point.
Just for the record, I think the problem is common!
I've seen many people who have unresponsive touchscreens, and now I'm one of those unlucky people. And nothing works. And I don't have warranty because I'm in a different country than the purchase country and the reseller here only services phone bought in the Middle East. #[email protected]$#@$#@

My TyTN II is displaying a blank screen

Touch Screen Freezing

I have an un-locked TyTn II that has an annoying screen problem. At least once a day, the touch screen will stop working. The device continues to function normally using buttons and/or the keyboard, but the touch screen function is dead.
In every case, I have been able to revive the touch screen by using buttons to navigate to the screen alignment settings and then use my finger to scroll around the screen till it comes back to life. Once the screen alignment program comes back to life, I align the screen and go about my business.
I have a fair amount of Spb software installed, but I had the same problem before installing any of the Spb software, so on the surface, I'm ruling that stuff out.
I have Kaiser Tweak and Paul's Tweak installed.
Any idea's would be greatly appreaciated.
Maybe this thread will help?

Thanks for your reply.
The thread you provided appears to be focused about "complete" freezing. My device continues to work as long as I use buttons and/or the keyboard. Once I align the screen, the device goes back to normal operation.

Diamond is stuck at align screen!

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
