New display -> contrast problem?

Hey guys,
I had a broken touchscreen in my Wizard so I replaced the whole display. Right now the touchscreen works like a charm but something is wrong with contrast...
Someone told me to re-flash the phone so that Windows installs proper drivers for the display, is that right? Or maybe the screen is not 100% compatible with my Wizard?
I'm writing this because I've seen some people here with broken screens, maybe they have some experiance in this matter. BTW if everything works out fine I will have pretty cheap full screens for this kind of phones...

What exactly is wrong with the contrast?
You may be able to correct it by adjusting the contrast settings.
In HKLM\ControlPanel\Contrast delete the redirect key (if there is one) and make a new dword called Groups with value 0 and it will put a Contrast icon in Start>Settings with a slider that lets you select from 16 settings...

Using this reg tweak I get the Contrast applet, but it doesn't work. You can move the sloder, but there is no way to apply the change, and closing out of it doesn;t save the settings. Is there something else that needs to be done? (already soft-reset plenty of times since I did this)

Doesn't work here also.
It really would be a cool applet....IF it worked (on my Qtek 2.18 Rom).

I have the same problem after replacing the LCD on my HTC Touch Cruise.
The screen seem to have wrong contrast/Brightness settings and I couldn't find a way to calibrate that.
the above twick may have a needs reg key for the value maybe?!

Same problem after installing a new lcd on my touch cruise. The HTC representative said that these are new screens not the same with the old ones.....I don't know if these is true

where did you get the new screen?

Setting default input and keeping it.

Ok I have searched and not run across anything without reading every thread in here.
How do I change my default input method from keyboard to letter recognizer and MAKE it stick.
I change it i the input menu and reg edits but every time I soft reset it is back.

...we're on the same boat :?

Join the club!
I'm after the phone pad so I can still use the 8125/Wiz screen as a normal phone keypad at times and not have to whip out the stylus.

whatever you do, dont use registry wizard to set it... I white screened a week ago doing that, hard reset

hope to find a solution

Perhaps this:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP
DefaultIM {42429667-.... or one of the others {42429690- {42429691-
Look in the neighborhoud HKCR\CLSID\{424296...... for the others.
Cheers
edit: In case it wasn't clear you need to fill in the whole CLSID in the DefaultIM string value. So {42429667- including the } at the end.
It should work after a soft reset (gone with a hard reset)

Any Solutions to this yet?
Thanks
Jules

I'm joining the club too
I'm on a Charmer, I used to able to change the Letter Reg SIP as default before I upgraded my ROM. I thought I'm the only one.

i'm triing to change the reg value with total commander and with wizard reg but after a restart the phone hang on white screen... someone can help me?
i want to use nullkb as default probably is not possible?

yes but i make a hard reset after the first try (manually change registry with tcmd) and i try in another way...white screen in every try

lost in translation...
I was saying that if you TRY to use registry wizard to set it, you will get a white screen, and be left having to HARD RESET....

Not the best solution, but perhaps you could use my program SwitchSip to change the SIP on every soft reset. I don't know if it'll stick though, I've never tried...

thanks i try with your program, i never search the forum enough if i don't found your post.
i don't know why there is no possiblity to change default IM in the WM configuration.

I think we've all tried the method. Read the posts above carefully.

Just as a problem recap: the default SIP reghack no longer works on AKU2 ROMS. The kbd default occurs after a soft reset no matter what you have changed the registry value to.
I'm working on this one too. I coded up a program that quickly set the SIP to block recognizer and exited figuring I could just add it to the startup programs folder to switch over after a soft reset.
However, while this program works just great normally, it doesn't change the SIP when run at startup. I am working on why this is, currently. So far I've determined that my program is able to find the block recognizer SIP so the SIP dll is loaded. Tomorrow I may get a few more minutes to work on it. I'll code my program to check to see if it correctly set the SIP to block recognizer and re-attempt to change until it's successful. I'm guessing that this will have no effect on the issue since my current working theory is that the kbd default is set sometime after the startup programs run.

Guys, I don't know whether my app worked or not, but this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=317635#317635
seems to suggest it did. I don't have a wizard to test it on though
V

@vijay555:
I've got my little app set up on my today screen so I can just tap it quickly after everything's loaded to change my sip but it won't work if I drop it into my startup folder.
Perhaps this is what the poster you refer to is doing? Does your program check the default SIP using SipGetCurrentIM after you switch to see if the operation worked? Or do you just check for an error code after calling SipSetCurrentIM. Me, I'm just checking for an error currently and am not getting one.

Sleuth255: I really can't remember how I did it, I wrote it in c++ before I could program in c++, somehow. I'm on a promise to rewrite it sometime, and turn it into VJSipSwitch, for now it's merely a bastard child.
However, despite this, it's also designed to be configured as a shortcut to be launched from a hardware key or shortcut... if it becomes an issue, I'll look over the code again.

How to skip 'align screen' after ROM update

I am familiar with flashing ROMs. After flashing NBD 8.0, I managed to drop the phone to the ground just as the device was resetting. The touchscreen is cracked. I now can't get past the align screen program. Though the crack is at the bottom right of the screen, I have problems with the pointer on the top right; after some futile clicks there, at the best align screen starts from the beginning.
Obviously any number of resets doesn't help as the align screen is the first thing to come up.
Is there anything that I can do? It is not trivial for me to get the touch screen fixed in the next 10 days.
Edit: For once, I found the solution outside this forum. The solution was to somehow to get activesync work, and then use it to remove the welcome shortcut in windows\startup. This made the align screen program (and may be something else too) not appear during the initial bootup. Touchscreen is pretty much dysfunctional now; but I at least have the phone working.

I found this some time ago, I never used it but you may want to give it a try.

I have the same problem, and i have no idea to figure it out .... maybe it is only bug in NBD v8.0 for few devices .... so we could contact autor directly this version of ROM and ask him ... because i dont know ....

Skip Align Screen
I can confirm that the program works.
BUT the touch screen becomes unusable!!!!
Mine's broken so it won't make a diff.

My touchscreen had a crack only at the bottom. After skipping the 'align screen' during initial ROM load, I lived with a non-functional touch screen for a day or two. I then remembered the post from equinoxe that had registry settings for his phone. I took those settings and updated my registry. I now have a decent touch screen - at least the top 3/4 works fine.
The key and settings are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="1922,1957 3330,639 3317,3276 600,3230 609,677 "
I could surmise that the screen is being treated as a square of 3900 x 3900 dots. 0,0 seems to be the top, right corner.

I asked the same question awhile back and pretty much got no useful response. It's actually easy. All you have to do is to put a file in the root of your mini-sd card named welcome.not and the system will skip the alignment stuff (and presumably all that crap with moving the appt and stuff too).

mate .... im using your advice to remove the windows shortcut on windows/startup .. but i cannot proceed ... a warning appeared after my attempt to delete the file :
-----------------------------------------------------
Error Deleting File
Cannot delete file Welcome : Access is denied .
Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type .
-----------------------------------------------------
that is the exclamation .. is this because the file is a read only ?? how can i change the file permission ??
thx b 4 mate ...

Same problem with me, even with the welcome.exe, so that's not gooing to cut... my next attempt is the registry tweak, i'll create the reg file and put it to SD, every time the alignment is messed up, re run the reg and soft reset

Little update
I've been toying with my k-jam trying to find a solution, i'm writing this as the process is being done.
So i installed and ran the remote remote screen alignment tool mentioned above (attached for simplicity) I only used the first option in the software (you'll see, you wouldn't need the other 2, unless you have working screen alignment)
At least, now I know that after a flash, the phone will work, the screen iffy but... we're in!
I'm trying the registry tweak now, looking for a registry editor for PPC.
OK. PHM RegEdit will do for now, installing
I'm using the regedit because i'm not sure what's the RegistryEditorVersion for WM6, hopefully PHM will lock the settings in
I've manually changed the calibrationdata numbers with great difficulty, soft reset and now the screen is beyond effed up... tapping start goes to calendar..
tapping calendar opens contacts...
Ok just for the sake of curiosity, checked regedit again to find another set of calibration numbers, re-entered the numbers from the post above. This time the numbers remained. No soft reset, just shut down the wizard and turned it back on.. i've regained much of the touch but now i believe it's the digitizer to blame.... will open up the wizard and keep u posted.
So as far as my experiences go for this, software-wise, definitely a success with the calib data given. hardware-wise to be determined..
HTH
Edit: can't attach the remote tool so here's the link

Thank you !!!
thank you so much, it worked with no problem...

hehe
maybe i have a solution too
i had a broken screen too but still could enter my device by using SOTI
http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
after a while the battery drained and when i reconnected it it did a hard reset
i got stuck at the align screen too
but soti already installed on my device even it didnt setup yet
soti has this task manager and i fooled around with closing some threads, i dont know wich ones exactly
anyway i could pass the align screen that way

i have lg ks20 how to skip align screan

the welcome.not function works perfectley...
a blank note pad file saved as "welcome.not" change save as type from text document to all files, then i put it in the root of the sd card and the internel momory...

to sum up:
to skip the align screen:
create a blank file with notepad and rename it to welcome.not
place it into root folder of the internal memory of your phone and soft reset
worked like a charm on touch pro

Calibration data
I tried the registry value but, no success.
Could someone provide Screen calibration data from properly aligned Wizard.
it can be found here
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData" =
Thanks

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="1903,1948 3181,636 3187,3240 607,3242 592,648"

A little extra info on my Cingular 8125 device with Mfrazzz's Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM.
My original problem was no touch functionality in the top 1/5 of the screen.
I did a system hard reset and was stuck in the Align loop.
I used Windows 7 Mobile Device center to access the device.
I used the SD card welcome.not to bypass the Align, but the xy of the touch point was WAY off, perhaps 20% of screen.
I tried to edit the registry using the reg editor installed in the ROM but could not navigate well enough using the D-pad keys and hardware keyboard.
I installed CeRegEditor on my Win7x64 machine, connected using W7MDC and then connected with CeRegEditor. I edited the coordinates
I installed CeRegEditor and updated the key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="1922,1957 3330,639 3317,3276 600,3230 609,677 "
The alignment was still way off and the Screen Alignment app would still get stuck.
Then I changed the MaxError key value from 16 to 4000.
Bingo! After a reboot the next alignment was accurate and I can now use the touch screen normally.
I believe the screen calibration error was outside the maximum causing the Align loop.
Post if you find this useful.
Good luck!

Opening Messages - opens at BOTTOM of message?!

Anyone else? Open a message (any type) and it opens at the bottom of the message, so that I can't see the message or who it's from without scrolling up. It's annoying!
Also, if I use the D-pad to scroll through the messages, each message opens up in the same manner - at the bottom.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks,
FrankyG

You posted the exact same question over on MoDaCo - and I answered it, so here's the exact same answer again
This is/was a common problem on the Hermes / TyTn I - but only if you'd installed a "tweak" utility like HTweakC or PimpMyBlack. There is a registry key (see below) that needs to be set to a value of 1 in order to prevent the auto-scroll-to-end in messages etc. The only downside to setting it to 1 is that you can't then scroll around pages in PIE using the D-Pad, you've got to use the stylus.
Code:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1
If you've got the stock ROM on your TyTn II, then this may be the default setting; if you've flashed or installed tweaks, then this behaviour may be the result of that.......
HTH,
Mark.

hi,
i think it was just because there are some settings, when you can move mail attachments to the storage card. do not do that, i think this is main problem why msg are messed up after aplication this tweak.. anyway, i followed Mark Crouch's help and it works, so exported fixed registry and save for future usage

keyboard stuck in numbers/symbols mode

Something very weird is happening on my Diamond. Suddenly my on screen full querty keyboard is stuck in the numeric mode and hitting the "ABC" button won't go to the normal mode where you can type letters. If I change to other type of keyboard, for example the Phone Keypad, it'll also type only numbers not letters, no matter in what mode it is.
I've tried soft reset but the issue persists. Last app I installed was Mobile Justice but I don't think it has something to do with the issue...
Anyone have seen this before? any suggestion besides hard reset?

Yes, I had same problem and found out that it was caused by the installation of a custom T9.cab file (Dutch). I uninstalled it and problem was gone.

Aha, I think I installed one of those cabs a few days ago as well, but how do you uninstall that? it doesn't appear in the add/remove programs window.

how dod you guys fixed it? got same problem

Try this:
Go into the registry and ensure the following settings, then soft reset.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409
Layout Text to "eT9 IME"
Ime File to "\windows\eT9ime.dll"
HKCR\CLSID\{73AB106C-A726-484b-B610-BE3E1CF39821}
(Default) = "XT9"

thanks mate appriciated. worked perfect.
