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]$#@$#@
PROBLEM: touchscreen is not responding and after a hard reset (recommended by T-Mobile not so saavy techs) I got stucked in the "TAP THE SCREEN TO SETUP YOUR WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE" and since there is no "ESCAPE" button to skip this screen, I had a pretty much useless phone, I could only receive calls but not able to place any calls or have access to the start menu or any other function pretty much.
SOLUTION: after hours searching all over the internet, I found a very nice - FREE! - application designed for blind people to "SKIP" the align process, http://www.codefactory.es/en/ by CodeFactory. The application is called "REMOTE SCREEN ALIGNMENT" it is very easy and a quick way to skip the screen alignment process.
CONCLUSION: although it will not fix the unresponsive touch screen, it will at least let you access your phone through the buttons and slide out keyboard.
P.S.: there are many other tools and free apps there for a lot other phones.
ENJOY!

HTC Wings does not have touchscreen
maybe you are in the wrong section
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
Calling all X1 medics, surgeons and miracle workers
Ok so last night the when i got out my car my X1 hit the ground in my pouch (leather ones) it beeps and i think nothing of it. When i take it out of my pouch i notice the screen is white.
So I do the following..
I try to reset via the power button..... no luck
Next i remove the battery, so obviously it works, so the phone boots up.
Now the interesting part, phone boots up completely when it comes the enter password numerical pad the touchscreen does not want to work.
So I use the qwerty to enter my code. Its works but still my screen it dead to touch.
So next i do a hard reset( maybe was not the best idea dunno?) and this where i am cause i cant get pass the "touch the screen to activate windows" bit to do the setup of windows.
I even tried installing the ROM again but still end up at the same screen.
So anyone got any ideas where the problem lies?
You guys think my touch screen has gone to heaven?
Anyone know if I can do a soft reset and upload to the stock ROM without using the touch screen and can it be done now that i cant get pass the set up screen?
Thanks guys
i believe there are some roms that doesn't require you to touch the screen to continue.
examples are roms using wm6.5. sometimes you have to confirm something, but you might get it done with the ok button.
Does the screen NEVER show any image or does it look normal until the touch-the-screen-exercise?
Hi
Well the touch screen comes up and seems to be active cause when the screen dims and you touch the screen it goes bright again.
Like i said i did a hard reset so now when i boot up i get to the screen alignment exercise and i cant get further than that.
It basically boots up as normal just cant use the touch screen.
When i rebooted the first time after it feel i managed to use the qwerty to log into the phone but i no able to use the touch screen.
I could see everything as per normal but the screen touch ability is gone.
Do any of you guys know if there is another url where i can find a UK Generic rom besides rapidshare as it looks like its going in for repair number 2.
I am just hoping i will able to to soft reset.
I did download a exe ROM file from the ftp site but got a file corrupt error when i tried extracting the file. I also noticed the file would have extracted as a image file. Is this correct as its the first time i have seen this.
Thanks
Are you using a screen protector?
i'm affraid to say, that it's broken digitizer
Okay.
Here I go.
I have an HTC TyTN II which has NO ROM modifications.
I did a clear storage (because I wanted a 'clean' start on my phone as I had clunked it up) and got stuck on the screen align loop.
So I used Remote Screen Align to skip the screen alignment.
It worked.
But now my touch screen is badly messed up!
I tested it with the game pocketsand. If i touch somewhere on the screen, it responds somewhere else.
How do you fix this??? Can someone please help me out here?
Thanks in advance.
