Unfortunately the display of my Diamond broke and now i can't use it anymore (touchscreen didn't work - phone still works (booting, ringing etc)). I want to make a backup with Active Sync and MyMobiler, but everytime I connect the Diamond with my PC it only starts the access to the in-build flash-memory. I cannot change the behavoir for starting in Active Sync-Mode on Diamond.
What can I do?
Screen acting weird.
I have a problem with my screen too. Sometimes I cant use my touchscreen anymore. When I turn off the screen and wait a little bit I can use it again. But lately another problem has occurred, my screen keeps on loosing its alignment.
Its almost like my screen is dying...
i recently had the same problem...my fone was fully functioning all apart from my touch screen itself... i had to painfully keep runing the screen alignment an now it is fine
The only solution I could think of would be to put a registry file containing the ActiveSync setting [instead of 'connect as removable drive'] onto the phone and try to start it using the hardware buttons.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the start menu without the stylus. But the hardware buttons allow you to scroll through the TouchFLO tabs so you're able to access the programs tab. Maybe you've assigned explorer or activesync to one of those buttons? If not, you're able to assign one even w/o the stylus. I failed to re-enable the settings tab so I don't know what's on it. Maybe that one helps, too.
When you connect your device to your PC you can change you connection optons with the hardware buttons. This way you can set it to activesync. this has also been my solution to get to the screen alignment settings via mymobiler. But now I need to get a stock dutch SPL so I can return my phone to repair the screen. I dont carry my laptop around at all times...

I've had my Kaiser a few days now, here's a few problems that i've had... anyone had anything similar?
- Windows Live Today addon stops working... can't scroll left or right
- HTC plugin goes fuzzy... can go into programs/settings, but nothing actually loads up when clicking on it
- After using the phone, the screen goes dim... so i have to manually reset the brightness
- D-pad stops working after using the phone (can't scroll through TXTs/Emails etc)
In most cases i have to reboot to fix :S
I was hoping WM6 would be a lot stabler... but so far it doesn't seem all that great :S
Hi,
I haven't had the problems you have, not even heat yet as has been discussed. Perhaps it's because I am not taxing the unit yet.
However, I have not been able to synch my PC to the Kaiser to yet. Synching pictures, music, TV is not an issue because Windows Media Player is working. It's the Contacts, Notes, Tasks that I cannot synch.
When I open the Windows Mobile Device Center the Connection Settings window opens up with the Allow USB & Bluetooth Connections radio buttons. When I hit OK with both Radio buttons selected (USB & Bluetooth), that's it, the window closes and there's no Windows Mobile Device Center that opens up. Task Manager shows no open Windows Mobile Device Center application but does show a Windows Mobile Device Center process, wmdcBase.exe.
What am I missing here? Please help, 4 days & I still do not have my Contacts in this phone.
This is a duplicate post from lower down.
Cheers,
Phil

Screen goes dim and the start menu does not work. This is because of the password pin set on your phone. If you deactivate it, it should be fine. It's definitely a bug on the Kaiser. There are registry hacks for this, but I have no idea how to get around it.
regarding the screen dimming, I assume this is with the HTC ROM.
My phone has been fine with the latest two AT&T ROMs (the first ROM had this prob, the screen would dim after 10 seconds). You can temporarily fix the problem by resetting the Backlight timeout Settings.. Backlight... Battery Power tab) to something like 1 minute. It will keep getting reset every once in a while though... You can also turn off the backlight timeout completely (unchecking the box), which seems to work longer.
BTW it seems to be a problem with the HTC Home plugin. When I installed the original AT&T ROM but didn't install the HTC Home today plugin, the problem did not happen.
I have seen the D-Pad problem in Outlook only - that is, hang up a call, then d-pad doesn't work to navigate thru email. Once email is open the D-Pad works... Solution is to kill (click x button) Outlook.

Same here, screen dims and startmenu does not work. Issue is I can't deactivate pw (corp security pollicy for pushmail client).
Could someone elaborate a bit on the possible reg hack that could fix this?
Thanks...
Hi
I made a small app that helps overcome this issue by making the phone usable again after a phone call.
You can get install instructions from here with a file a few posts down: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=258974&view=findpost&p=841951
Hopefully it will be fixed by HTC soon so it's just a short term work around.
Regards
Phil
Thanks
That works, thank you very much for your effort!
We'll wait for the HTC fix.

You need Outlook installed to sync those.

i had a 3g connection with google maps running in background (gps was accurate within 10 feet) and was playing namco's ms. pac-man on the tytn ii rom when device locked up mid game. Power button would put phone into standby, but it was locked up besides. i had to soft-reset.
Cool, do HTC release updated ROMs via their website?
Also, ive had the home plugin going fuzzy and locking up quite a few times now.... definitley more problems introduced since i enabled the 'lock' feature :S
No call button??
On the dialpad is no call button only videocall button???
Am i blind?........
With my phone the 'ok' button (not on the keyboard) doesn't always respond (well). Either to confirm a adjustment or to minimize/close an screen
I have found a pretty simple workaround for the issue with the screen going dim and the start menu not working after a call.
What appears to be happening is that the device is actually locking the screen yet the keypad to unlock is not displayed. So the start menu and such think they are locked. I found that if i simply power my device off and back on the password screen/unlock screen shows up. Unlock it and you are fine from there.
Not really a fix but it will save you a reboot.
Hmm im getting lots of sync problems with Windows Live :S, also my phone 'says' it's connected to 3G/H but then randomly doesnt send texts :S
Really starting to annoy me now!
Hey guys I have flashed my Kaiser with a clean rom last night, everything went awesome, phoned work excellent just the way I wanted, and my hands were wet as the phone rang and now all of a sudden my Touch Screen doesnt work, nothing seems to be wrong with the phone itself, everything is still displayed on the screen.
Now I might need to send it back for repairs, but I reset to factory defaults couple min ago, and it says "Tap screen to begin" and I can't get any further?
Active sync or nothing works in that stage, how is it possible that I can flash my kaiser back to factory defaults if this is the case?
Isnt there a way of skipping that "Tap screen to begin" message?
Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated.

Yo thanks man,
I have flashed my phone back to HTC's rom, touch screen still doesn't work, I can use the phone now again, I have skipped that process where it asks you to align the screen to begin with a program called Code Factory's Remote screen alignment (RSA)
Now I'm in Bahrain (middle east) at the moment, I bought the phone in South-Africa where I used to live, So I'm gonna have to use the phone for a while until I can send it in for repairs.
So just have one more problem, I can't seem to change the Main volume in the taskbar without using the touch screen, Is there any other way of changing the volume, coz I cant hear my phone when it rings at times.
Shot guys,
to adjust the volume, move the trackwheel up or down during a call, so you're gonna have to call someone.
as for vibrating, you've got me there
Man,that must be a pain that touch screen doesn't working.
Try googling MyMobiler, install on your PC, connect your PDA and it will autoinstall itself to your PDA too.
Run MyMobiler on the PC. Next thing you know you can control your PDA without even touching it at all ;-)
Cheers!

yo guys, just wanna let u guys know, the problem sorted itself out, in the future if you guys experience the problem, put ur phone close to a TUBE T.V, and let the static fix it for u, I was busy trying to get this OLD t.v sorted out in the Hotel where we are living in Bahrain, and I couldn't see at the back, and I used my phone as a flash light to see what's going on lol, and then my Touch screen started working again.........anyone care to explain this..?
Phone is in complete working order again, happy flashing for me once again hehe.
Man, I had the same problem and I was quite desperate. I was going to replace my Vodafone 1615 (the brandized version of Tytn II) when I found your post.
I put the phone near a CRT Monitor and then magically the touch-screen was working again!
Thank you to disclose your experience.
Can anyone explain why this might work?
I had the same problems. Touched yesterday mine htc kaiser with wet fingers and the touch screen did not respond. I thought that is the same problem with humidity that I had in Amazonia. That time it got solved by heating the phone with notebook. Pillow - kaiser - notebook for few hours :-D
But this time heating did not work... With doubt I approached old CRT tv and static energy from it SOLVED mine problem too. I am happy that I did not throw it away after buying LCD one. This is the time when new technology needs some old school energy :-D

Did you have the phone off or on , did you touch it to the screen or side of tv, and how long did you hold the phone there, this would be awesome if it works, I've been freaking out the last couple of days.
me too! i brushed my phone around the tv for 30 seconds.. no luck...

Hi folks!
I had the same problem: change my at&t tilt rom/radio/spl to htc.
result: touch screen does not working!
The only way that i found is undo changes:
1º - installing and using: Remote screen Alignment to skip the first screen calibration. Just power on Tilt and wait until activesync are connected, so, run "remote screen alignment" and click skip, if the phone does not restart, do a soft reset.
2º - In the next power on, use activesync to copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your phone.
3º - use the buttons to navigate and execute JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe on the phone. (to execute JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe file use the ENTER key of the sliding keyboard).
4º- now just replace RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_.exe (OEM ROM i think)/ bootloader spl1.93.0/1.56 (maybe the screen problem occurs due the wrong spl/rom combination or newer spl like 3.28/3.29 ).
After these steps my AT&T Tilt touch screen is back to work!
Now i'm ready to try others roms again !!
PS: Sorry for poor english, if anybody don't understand anything just ask!

thank you so much for taking the time to post your solution! My kaiser was dead after it got soaked in vinegair..keys were sticky, device wouldnt charge or even turn on..
what i did is put the kaiser in a bowl of water and let it rest for a few hours. Then i took it out and put it in a bowl of uncooked rice (rice sucks up water!) and let it rest overnight. My kaiser came out great with everything working fine except....the touchscreen wouldnt respond. I flashed several roms but all to no avail.
I then followed your instructions and miraculously this strange at&t rom brought my touchscreen back to life!
So thanks again
I already made a thread about the backlight, but it seems that I only have that problem while using Tomtom.
If I use tomtom without external power, the screen blanks after 30 seconds, or whatever setting is used in the energy settings of the TD2.
When driving on external power, the screen goes blank after 30 minutes (the maximum of the settings if the TD2 isn't used.
On my diamond 1, the diamond recognized tomtom as an active application, hence the screen would stay on, until the battery was empty.
Weird thing is: if I use Coreplayer, the screen does stay on, so the TD2 recognizes Coreplayer as an active application.
More people with this problem? I have the latest official HTC rom (Dutch). Did multiple hard-resets and multiple installations of TT7 (7.910 and 7.915 versions). With or without audio-fix; no matter what: screen blanks....
Touch Incall Tweak ?
maybe is the Touch Incall tweak the solution for you? You can then manually enable backlight settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991!:
Hope this works for you, did it for me.
Unfortunately, it did not. I installed the app, did a soft reset and saw that TomTom was one of the applications on the list.
However, after the same period the screen went blank again. As far as I understand it, the applications on that list are the apps that should prevent the screen blanking out, when a call is coming in. But using tomtom, not always a call comes in..
So, how did you manage to get it working then..??
Honoustly I don't know. I remember I had the same problem but after a while the screen doesn't switch off anymore.
I always have the TD2 power connected when navigating and in the settings tab-more-system-energy-advanced tab you can control the lighting settings and time outs.
Must say that I downgraded to Tomtom 7.910.9185 caus' it should work a little better... I still have the big lag and slow screen refreshing problem though.
For navigating I use Nav'n go Igo (8.3.2.80621) now. Has a lag also but works better and more stable. And uses maps of 10-3-2009!
What version are you using?
TT 7.915.9196, but tried the .9185 also, but seemed to me that that version gave a little more lag than the newest. Newest is stable; the point of the arrow is the point that my car is, so thats ok with me.
Last thing seems that on car power the tt stays on now, but on battery power still disables the screen. Both versions, with or without the audio-fix, with or without the tweak.
O and I upgraded to the latest rom; no result either.
I searched and didn't find this topic.
My HTC Pure occasionally will not respond to touch. This usually happens after taking a call while it's been hooked up to the sync & mymobiler via USB.
Normally doing a soft reset or two, and playing with it in mymobiler would get the screen responding correctly but today it has stayed untouchable.
The bottom buttons, for picking up and hanging up calls, work fine, but unless I go into mymobiler, the screen is unresponsive to any touch.
I haven't dropped it nor gotten water all over it and all the programs seem to work as they should.
Any suggestions or has the display crapped out?
On a side note I did get an gwes.exe error this evening too.
It's possbile that your digitizer is going out but I would perform a hard reset first and see if that clears up the issue.
Hi,
Xperia X1 is three weeks past warranty. Touch screen suddenly stopped working; Display screen still works fine with keyboard in or out. All hardware buttons and keyboard buttons worked, phone worked OK, it was just the touchscreen that was dead. Never had any display problems when sliding keyboard in and out like I have read in here.
HOWEVER...
My mobile Tech Support told me to reset and now all I have is the initial Windows boot screen that says 'Tap the screen to setup...". WTF? Of course when I tap the screen nothing happens.
Is there a key or button combination I can use to invoke the setup routine? Is there anyway to connect it to a PC and control it? Be nice to get the phone back to working, I can live without the touchscreen for now.
There could be an issue of the flex cable being loose. You could try and open your X1 and re-attach the flex cable and hope it solves the issue.
There are some videos out there that shows you how to do it
