MAJOR screen alignment issues!

Hey all,
I'm a long time reader, first time poster on xda-developers and have had numerous HTC phones in the past but this Touch Diamond is really getting to me! I can almost cope with its sluggish performance by flashing it to these fantastic roms on the website but now I'm getting what I assume is a hardware problem...
More and more often I'm having this problem where I press a button on the right hand side of the screen and the phone thinks I have pressed a button a 2cms to the left! I've tried to take a picture of this on my webcam (excuse the quality) where I am trying to press the backspace button but the phone thinks I have pressed the '8' key:

I have tried soft and hard reset. I've tried going back to the original rom and changing to another cooked rom!
Any ideas anyone? Would be much appreciated as I can hardly use the phone in its current state!
Thanks!
James

dude you realy messed up your phone,
sorry i aint got a solution for this?

lol tell me about it! can't think its anything i've done though.
shall i just send it back to HTC and let them sort it out?

hi james,
maybe its a dumb question, but did you tried to calibrate the touch-screen?
if yes, then i think this is a hardware issue caused by the digitizer...
in this case better send it back to htc but dont forget to flash the factory rom on it before sending in!
good luck mate

hey,
yeh i've done the calibration loads of times which normally fixes it for a bit but it always goes back to being out of alignment. i've downgraded the SPL and reflashed.
do you reckon that'll be ok?
thanks!
james

ive got the same problem anyone got a idea of why it happens? thinking of sending it to HTC for repairs, does the diamond have 2 year warrenty or 1?
ps ive got the orange branded HTC touch diamond uk version

hey,
had the same issue for about a month.
wen't to the store i got it from, and after more than a month without a device they replaced it for me.
it wasn't easy, but they just couldn't solve the problem!
while my phone was at the lab, I sent HTC a message and they answered that it is a known hardware issue and that I should get it replaced.
don't wait, go to your supplier!
you will find some threads here regarding this problem- all unsolved...
I hope that ur device will be replaced!
GOOD LUCK!

I had the same issue and got it replaced. Since HTC stated is a known issue, will the problem come back after some use? If that the case, seem i better sell it off rather wait till the problem came back after warranty expired!
They shouldnt named it Diamond. Diamond meant to be last forever and this "Touch Diamond" just too problematic.

i have the same problem, i will take it to htc for replacement, can someone help me to find the original SPL?

original SPL 1.93 and instructions attached

thanks, but does it matter if my original spl was a different version like 1.35 or 1.37 etc?

When will we see Official Android 2.2 update ?

Just was wondering if we will see the official release this week. I have two
EPE54B Nexus ones. Cant wait to see the official update.

Please use the search feature. There are a lot of posts that talk about this.

I've read all the threads just havent seen any updates. And I also know I can run the update.zip on my EPE54B Nexus Ones its just to buggy right now.

I've been running the "test" froyo on my nexus since the day it was on xda. I hated loosing my beloved cm rom, but the switch was so worth it. As far as buggy, I have yet to hit any real issues, just better battery life & speed. Only annoyance is the few apps that have problems. Froyo updates are rolling out every day for those though. So until the source code is dropped, & cyanogen gets ahold of it. I'm loving this version of froyo.

Google has people watching all the boards. Every time someone asks this question they push it back another day. At this rate we'll get the official OTA early q1 2012.

Guess we will never get it. LOL

Maybe there have been no updates because...there have been no updates . Besides, you could just post in the already existing threads for updates, no need to start a new one.

Tomorrow. No really, tomorrow. You have to make a thread about it or Google wont release it.

Well to be honest I havent found any Official Android 2.2 update threads. The only one I found is Froyo leaked or Official we all know its a test release.
Also there is nothing wrong with starting a new thread I've done my reserch on the update and just though people could voice some opinions.

You should flash the test version. I'm usually very anxious when updates are looming but I could wait another couple of months after flashing the test update. I have some issues but very very minor, go for it OP, you'll probably forget all about the official update. Ok not really but it helps alot

Google annouced at the IO conference to expect the update at the beginning of June, the beginning of June is tomorrow. Patience is a virtue

I might give the Test update a try my wife has the Nexus with the unlocked bootloader so I would have to either put it on hers or unlock the virgin Nexus that I have. I have Cm on hers and she loves so unless I de virginize mine I'll just have to wait for the official update.

So wait..... no one else got it? I updated last night!

LGMobile Support Tool: 12/11/2011. It just prompted me of an update.

Guys, the LGMobile tool just prompted me that there is an update available on my phone. I'm running the stock rom v10d ever since. Haven't rooted mine from the beginning. And look what I have? Is this it? Is this Gingerbread? Have you checked yours?
Damn! So excited! Unfortunately, I couldn't update now. My internet connection is really slow. I'm afraid it would cause problem. Might as well try this tomorrow evening.
Here's a picture of it for proof. Check the date of my computer. I'm telling the truth! ****! Can't wait!
For those who have a stable connection now, please do check and update us here. Thanks!

I'm sorry. My bad. I'm not from the USA. I'm from the Philippines. It just showed USA cause that's the default one when you go to your tool. When I changed the country, I have the same notification. Check the picture again below.
I'm so excited! Damn! I don't have a stable internet connection as of the moment. Under maintenance. I'm having disconnections. If only, I could update now and tell you guys what this is. Sigh! Might as well wait for tomorrow, I mean later. Hehe! Yeah! I really hope this is it!
Anyone of you can confirm or any one have the same notification as mine??

As the guys already stated, this is NOT gingerbread. Europe, as announced, will get Gingerbread first. Europe did not yet get it, so that is just v10e or some other froyo variant. Wait for further news on when it will be updated in Europe and you will be able to install it as well.

Can't you also read?
I said I'm on v10d! That's the latest firmware in our phone. v10e for Europe, v10d in Asia. How can then it be another variance? Lol! The difference is the letter. And the letter depends on what country you are in. But we all have the same. And it's the latest. If you're not mistaken, then this is probably another upgrade of Froyo before Gingerbread. Or this is really Gingerbread. You wouldn't know. I wouldn't know. Too bad I have an unstable internet connection as of the moment. Luckily, if everything is fixed I can update later. They say that Europe gets Gingerbread first but what are the odds that Asia would receive the update first before Europe? Before pushing something there, just try to understand and think of the instances. This is not a speculation by the way. I'm just saying. And I have proof of the notification for an update.
#ihatepeoplelikeyou

Going out
I'm heading off. I'll try to update later this morning or in the afternoon if I'm not that busy. And then I'll tell you guys what it is. If anybody here gets the notification same as I did, please do share if you already have updated.

This post is useless like ton of other posts that said they have lg update notification that endly is froyo update.
Lg update notifications are buggy, so if you don't have installed and verify that you really have 2.3, posting that you have lg notification means nothing.

So, there is no proof if under country name isn't a V20. Even lg pcsync was saying new update, but after reading the phone sw all stops saying it's up to date. Korea got an update, but phones are not compatible. China did too, but with a test version

Galaxy Tab 8.9 is a joke: half of screen is dim and weird keyboard

Received new Galaxy Tab 8.9 WiFi from Amazon..
Half screen is dimmer, there is a green tint at the conners and wtf is wrong with that keyboard? They must be joking with button layout like this?

Though it's probably still the thinnest and lightest ~9-10inch tablet on the market right now. Pretty cheap too. By the way I had galaxy tab 8.9 3G and it didn't have any of this nonsense. So I was wondering it's just one broken device, or tab 8.9 wifi version is a really cheap low quality model? Or maybe it's just Samsung, not the first or even second their device that have screen issues.

Looks like a French keyboard layout. It should be pretty obvious that the screen should not have a sharp brightness change halfway across, so that seems likely to be a hardware fault.

Obviously its working as intended, doesnt take a genius to see that

I just wondering to replace it with another WIFI version or upgrade to 3G, though I'm always using 3G tethering over wifi from my phone anyway.
I've got it from Amazon.co.uk, but it seems like a French version, though there wasn't a single mention about that. Anyway it's just a matter of flashing another ROM.

I'd be getting a new one from Amazon. That's really not good. You mention 'another rom', is the tab running stock in the photo? If so, definitely needs to be returned. If not, then try going back to stock and see if it goes away.

I think it's broken... :S

It could also be some unannounced 3D model and he forgot to use the glasses.
j/k
Seriously, send it back.

Actually, this layout is only used in Belgium (azerty). Something went wrong with first initialization, is pretty easy to solve in the settings.
The screen though, it's strange that it's exactly on 50%. Not good, send it back!

It's all stock. It's definitely a screen problem anyway, I've noticed even some burnin (google search button, chrome tabs on weather widget).

Try a last thing, go into recovery and see if the problem is still there

hahaha ,,,
Im curious how it will be if I rotate it :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Go back to the SAV
I've bought a new one on amazon.fr this month without any of your issues but (happiness?) the french azerty keyboard. I agree about the fact that the french keyboard isn't well designed but it works well and you can change it by swipe or another one like you wish.
Have you change the locale in parameters in order to change the keyboard mapping?

Warranty service replaced whole screen and even ROM version to Lithuanian. So it seems a pretty decent tablet now.
Though very slow because of Android 3.2, so I'll have to try something else maybe Cyanogenmod 10.

Don't use Samsung's widgets (they make the tablet crawl), and install ADW Launcher Ex, you'll notice a big improvement to start with.

[Q] just problems rooting note 4

i've been reading quite a bit and seems like there's more pros than cons or is it just me i root my first GN4 and the first problem was the WiFi calling not working then i read people saying that S-health was also not working so i check and yes it was not working
then i read some post's about not receiving MMS and guess what i check and is not working
so what is it about this device , Im guessing that maybe this brick is just to much for the developers in here or its just a POS
that noone wants to fnck with it
well if anyone in here has the GN4 rooted and is fully working with no problem just let me know so i can try once again

I read what you wrote, but it makes no sense LOL. I have ONLY rooted and everything works just fine here. Actually use S-Health often, sent MMS today and have WiFi Calling right now as I type this! Might wanna try again, or maybe its just YOUR brick GN4
Edit: ALSO... Trust me its "not too much for the devs here". We have GREAT Devs but people that couldn't beat themselves out of a wet paper bag are killing XDA because they seem Entitled! .. I appreciate the fact you've been reading but no need to quietly insult any devs because you're having issues. I say try again. MANY peoples phones work flawless

Just did a client's phone.
Running firekat v11x.
It's a good rom to start with.
Flawless.

I've been rooted literally since the first day I got the phone, and then rooted my wife's the next day.
No problems on either phone. They've actually been honestly the best phones we've ever had as a whole.
Perhaps you just need to understand what it is you're doing a little better before you dive in.

All of the issues you described have nothing to do with root. Mostlikely it is becuase of the software you are running. Install a custom recovery (TWRP) and then flash Firkat v11 or DKat, and all of those feature should be working.
What build are you on? Setting > About device > Build number.
My guess is that the files you used were for the original build and not for the current build. That is the only time i have see issues come up and can always be fixed by flashing a ROM built for the newest NK4 basband.

i apologize because i was desperate
im sorry i overreacted to the forum and the dev's
the truth is i want my galaxy note to be rooted so bad , i didn't want to offend anyone or anybody with this thread is just that this is the firs phone i really like and is the only one i have some issues , i've been reading quite some time but still a noob on the subject , hope for just a little push on the right direction
thanks
