Hi
This I think this is a weird one I'll try and explain the best I can:
A few days ago I noticed my Diamonds' touch screen was playing up, i.e whenever I pressed the screen somewhere it either a) took ages to register the touch or b) registered it in the wrong place.
I thought this was a software issue so thought I would try to re-align the touchscreen using the WinMo inbuilt tool. However I coudn't do that as it wasn't registering my key press on the start button. So I hard reset it and went through the config procedure.
Everything seemed to go OK and I felt relieved, the screen felt accurate again...BUT having used the device a little more it didn't quite feel right, it felt a bit slow to respond still (when compared to normal operation of a week ago).
I then noticed that I couldn't change my soft keyboard type when composing a text message (you normally can change this by click the keyboard icon on the bottom bar) and other apps e.g calendar etc, my keypress either didn't register or ended up being recognised a a press on the soft keys to the left or right e.g send/cancel. I thought that was a bit strange but made it worse was that on the odd occasion I did get it to register but not with any consistency.
I then experimented with other apps such as Opera which has another button on that part of the screen, that seems to be fine (albeit a bit slow).
So again i though it was a software problem, but now I'm not so sure...I've flashed with Hard SPL and a couple of the cooked roms (SwiftBL and Dutty), and tried a few different SPL's and the problem still persists. I have since reverted to the latest official Vodafone UK rom with a stock 1.37 SPL. Still the same result though.
Now here comes the tricky bit, I bought the Diamond off ebay a couple of months ago (it is the Vodafone UK version, is boxed but no voda receipt) as Vodafone wouldn't let me have one unless I was on a business contract. Like I said I don't have the Voda receipt.
Could it be the Touch screen has malfunctioned?
Are there any strange software bugs that could be causing this.
What are my chances of geting it fixed on warranty?
I need help desperately as I love the phone but now I have found the longer I leave it after aligning the screen the worse the touchscreen response gets so it becomes unuseable. I don't want to pay for a costly repair either.
All help and sugesstions appreciated.

1. Press on/off button + camera button + reset (using the stylus)
2. You should now be in tricolor screen.
3. Connect the usb cable.
4. Make sure you have activesync runing.
5. Install the rom provided in the link.
In the link you will find rom+radio. (Radio version 1.20)

Hey! My trinity have the same problem!!!
I habe all test: Without sim, without SD, with SD, with SIM (with SIM screen is grey)
What have you done?
Original ROM - same problem
Mine was doing this earlier
seemed that their was dirt stuck in the reset button hole causing it to stick in slightly
I got this problem too. My trinity would turn on and start to fade away. But mine was a liltle more artistic. Many times i saw a kinda round spot in the middle of the screen that become black, then half of the screen would black out and then the rest of the screen. Sometimes i even got colors.
I noticed if a had a fully charged battery the phone would work perfectly.
But most of the time it turn on, but the screen stayed black with the retro light on.
I was told to try the unbrick exploit.
me too !!! i have the same problem with my htc 3600 ? can someone help us to fix our htc's 3600 ?thanks in advance....
have you fix it ?
hi all
I have a small problem with my htc p3600. It's not starting. It's loading only the bios but it's freezing with the screen picture and is not loading the WM 5.0 I try to change the WM5.0 with a new one but I don't have a active sync. connection.Please help
has anyone found a solution to this problem ?
anyone have a solution?
Finally, what you should do?
Since the Trinity / P3600 is getting old now, I believe more and more people are going to face this strange problem sooner or later.
So I thought I should save your time and tell you what you should do when your trinity starts behaving like what was described at the beginning of this thread.
YOU SHOULD DO NOTHING !!
THERE IS NO QUICK FIX
THERE IS NO WORKAROUND
THERE IS NO CHEAP SOLUTION
I have searched and tried everything mentioned in this forum that might slightly be related to the problem and all solutions failed.
So after days and days of experimenting, I gave up and sent my device to HTC dealer who called me few days later to tell me that the mother board needs to be replaced.
The dealer told me the cost will be around $213, but they said they are going to sent it back as it is, because they don't have that board model anymore!!.
Even if they had, for an old device like this , I don't think it worth that mush money to fix.

Hello,
I resolve the problem with this : Simultnous press Power and Camera buttons and softreset, you'll got bootloader, three colors mode. Perhaps a little error message like this WLAN error but if you plug usb, it's ok.
Hope this good for you (excuse my poor english)
I've had this same problem for about a year now and keep coming back to it.
Any forward momentum on solving the problem would be appreciated as I quite like this phone.
1. The phone will boot FINE without a SIM
2. It hangs like in the video (or other strange screens) as soon as I insert a SIM card (partially or fully)
3. I've tried 3 different SIM cards
4. I have no SD cards
5. I have installed 3.20.Olipro
6. An official ROM is re-installed
I must admit the phone has had a hard life (or is it just the cheap plastic coatings HTC use)
No sooner did I post this did I find a solution.
For anyone that is interested...I have managed to re-install the original HTC ROM but HAVE NOT managed to install a workable 6.5 ROM yet.
So, the answer I found was:
1. Put P3600i into bootloader mode (push camera+power+reset buttons for 2 secs and get triple colour screen)
2. Re-flash HardSPL 1.1 from my PC
3. Re-flash original HTC ROM (WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108) by agian putting P3600i into bootloader mode first
I since tried several different radio stacks but haven't noticed any difference in reception so have left the original stack on (1.46.30.11) as it gives the best phone call quality
I love the UI of the latest WM6.5 but if the P3600i doesn't run them properly I'll just have to do without.
Good luck with your own unbricking.
it was working fine for me when i put a little piece of rubber between the processor and the metallic cover of it but after 3 months i have the same problem and the paper dont work anymore.... now when i press the power button the screen is black, only the backlight is working anyone have any ideas what to do?
OMG WTF, as soon as I saw this thread I switched my HTC P3600 on and it started doing it I reckon this is cursed, I will upload a video onto Youtube later and show you that is what happened.
I had this problem myself, didnt know what i was doing wrong, altho my tri color screen did this, not the boot one.
I removed memorycard and voila, everything went smoothly.

sorry 4 my mistake
Hi,
I seem to have developed a bit of a problem with HTC Diamond screen alignment...
I align the screen fine, it works for hours, days, minutes so various times of use.
I then use messaging, internet, Space Trader (my fave game) and all of a sudden, the stylus taps start to move off target. If I try to scroll up using the scroll bars, I end up highlighting text or tapping the wrong buttons.
I realign again and its fine...
Stock ROM at 1.93 recently upgraded from 1.37 as I thought the ROM update might fix but no...
Any ideas?
Rich
many have faced the problem but solution as of yet.
some say the prob is with the digitizer n needs to be replaced while if its a software prob then i guess the rom has missed biotouch.exe file i guess..
problem is with display, for some strange reason it start not responding, i have to change display in repair centre, for same reason...
Try first with mtty tool to format rom, and upgrade to 2.03 version stock rom, and see wha will happen, if continue, better send phone in repair centre, if it's in warranty...
Sometimes problem is with hardware like my with display, sometimes is problem software... It's randomly...
Hi Guys
I've been having some serious problems with the screen on my X1, most of the time now the screen doesn't respond to me tapping it, alignment is a waste of time.I'm wondering is there something I can do to fix it or will it simply be a matter of returning it. I'm in my last few months of a 18month contract and based on my recent experiences I doubt I will be getting another x1 (or even x2)
Thanks
Simon.
Exactly whats happened to mine! Its my 3rd X1 now and O2 cant (wont) fix it. Its a terrible phone. I cant use it now and you know what, I dont care, I would rather have a Nokia 6310.
Ive had every problem going and Im careful with my phones. First one the screen died when opening, second one no one can hear me and now this. I have also had the usual cracks issue on all 3 phones. Even when the phone works the reception terrible and it hangs all the time. Never a sony Xanything again.
Alignment problems and touch screen problem
I just updated my X1 last week ( 02/17/2010, my phone it's 1 year old with no problem at all, before this ) and everything was OK. Then on sunday the screen wasn't aligned, and I started to aligned almost every hour. Then I realized that after sliding the keyboard, the touch screen was death (not black, but doesn't work the touch function) for about 40 seconds, and after that it works again ( opened and Landscape). I also need to align the screen very often.
Before this happend, I never aligned the screen, only when I updated the X1. Also, on last friday ( before the screen problem ) I installed the Youtube aplication for the X1, and gave me problems because it doesn't have a Landscape screen, and the X1 crashed when I slide it, then I had to reboot it.
After this problem I started to have problems with my X1 ( alignments and death touch screen with keyboard opened )
Does some body have an idea to solve the problem?
Im sure this has to do with software or advanced settings like HKEY config.
Thanks in advance.

and it returns to normal after a while
what could cause this problem
i flashed many roms, with same result
It's not something either of you installed, but your hardware - either your digitizers are on the way out or your flex.
its hardware
yes, i can say its hardware. I have repaired many of them now.
Most of the time when its black/no touch screen response its the flex cable.
somehow the cable damages very easy when opening/closing it.

Have try this?
1. Use a registry editor
2. Navigate to or search for:
HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/PressureThreshold
and
HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure
(eg search on "pressure" and you'll find both)
3. Edit the values to any VERY VERY high value such as 999999999 (nine 9s)
*** CAUTION: do NOT change either of these fields to anything less than about 2000
because if you go low enough you will make your touchscreen unresponsive,
at which point it's tricky to change it back (learned the hard way)
Do I welcome aboard?
I have the same problem now and before I read this thread, I formatted my X1 cos I thought that problem was caused by software. Now I am sure it's about hardware. Have to open it soon
are you sure it's an hardware issue?
for me it started today after hard reset...too bad!
Well screen problems in Xperia are mostly caused due to the loose flex cable. Mine had the same problem. At times the screen would work and sometime the screen would not appear. But if you want to open your X1 and have a go at it yourself then do so.
I managed to fix my flex cable without causing any damage *phew*
If you have nothing to loose then give it a try and see if you get lucky.
Hi everybody,
I'm using my O2X for 2 days and I notified that the touch screen seems to have some problems.
I thought first that it was due to stock rom and I switched to Modaco FR10 and after FR11 (today in fact ) same problem. I finally tried RomKitchen 1.6 with Cpasjuste kernel and it hasn't disappeared ...
My problem is that a part of the touch screen doesn't work correctly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
And sometimes, the whole screen/touch key doesn't respond, I must lock/delock the screen I order to solve the problem.
A video to illustrate my words :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dOLL1U7JQ
And sometimes, the touch screen comes "crazy". As some lazy person is touching the screen non-stop and everywhere.
Do you think it's due to some software issue or do I need to change my phone ?
Thanks
That looks for me like a hardware problem.. Have never experienced something like that.
Only sometimes a first unlock try on pattern lockscreen fails, but second try it always registers my input..
I would go back to the shop and swap it!
Ok, I'm thinking of it too ... That's crap when it happens to himself
Do you know where to find stock rom/kernel ? I'm searching that with unroot/uninstall CWM
No response from my seller yet (Virgin Mobile France)
