Hallo,
last week my KAZAM Tornado 348 droped down.
Since this the screen is black but it reacts to inputs.
Now I´m trying to save my contacts, settings, ...
For this I need to enable usb debugging. I found different instructions, but I´m not sure, if it is similar at the Tornado 348!?
Could someone show me please the way through the menue with some screenshots/or a video?
I think the first steps are easy the go on a black screen.
Settings --> Scrolling dooooown --> push "About device" (it should be at the bottom?). But after these steps I´m not sure, if I have to scroll completely down again for the option "Build number"?
Thanks so much.
Kind regards

Hello everyone, i asked this question in the 'post your today screen' thread but got no answer so will try asking here:
I recently installed the htc home customiser and changed a few things around and generally had a play with it to see what i could create from my today screen. I then decided i was happy with how the original htc one looked so i changed it back. Unfortunately i have a slight problem.
Originally, under the htc home section i had tasks, appointments, tomtom, etc etc showin up and there was a scroll bar on the right hand side that allowed me to scroll down the list, all while keeping htc home in the same position at the top. Now though, i have a scroll bar that extends all the way up the right hand side of the screen whereas before it only went as far as the bottom of htc home. It now covers up part of the date and the sound settings button. When i scroll down my list of shortcuts, it now also scrolls htc home also. (i hope my description makes sense)
It is very annoying and also makes my home screen look ugly. Does anyone know how i can get it back to how it used to be?
thanks very much in advance!
You can fix this by updasting the registry directly. There may be another way, but off the top of my head, I don't know.
Check your entries under the registry item: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items
Under there, you will see an entry for every Today plugin you have available in your Today settings window.
Select one and you see it has entries called:
- Enabled
- Flag
- Order
- Selectability
- Type
under each one.
- Enabled denotes if its checked for your Today screen (1 is on, 0 is off)
- Order denotes the sequence it is on the Today screen. The lower the number the higher on the screen, so usually, HTCHome is the lowest enabled since it at the top.
- Type denotes whether it is one that is "movable" or not.
Type is the one that you need to modify. Type can be 0 (moveable) or 5 (non-movable). Type 0 ones can be moved up and down in the Today settings screen, where as Type 5 ones cannot.
The issue is that if the Today screen content is too much to fit on the screen, it auto adds the scroll bar. BUT it will only make the part of the screen occupied by movable activated plugins scrollable.
Before you customized, it HTCHome was likely a Type 5, and it was Order 1 (or something low since its at top). And all others were Type 0. Thus the scrollable section DIDNT include the HTC Home. Somehow, your HTCHome type is now 0, so it is scrolling along with everything else.
Hope this helps. Of course, manually modifying the registry has inherent danges, so be careful, and I take no responsibility if you mess up (disclaimer ).
This might be configurable and modifiable via HTC HOME Customizer app itself, but not sure...I just know the above is how I would fix it if I needed to.
Cheers for that mate, i will have a look tomorrow and see if i can sort it out.
in the home customizer go to the "options" tab and check "Lock plugin on the today screen" ... this will solve your problem!
Today screen keeps scrolling up
I don't know if this is the right post to ask, but you guys seemed pretty knowledgeable about today screen...
What happens is that whenever I scroll down (with the scroll bar) my today screen, it keeps scrolling back up to beginning screen automatically.
Only way to avoid this is to scroll all the way to the bottom and then it stops there. Then I can scroll up to see my today plugins which are in the middle (e.g. if you can scroll 4 times down - 4 screens of plugins - and I want to see my plugins which are 1 screen down the initial today screen, I have to tap all the way down and then tap up 2 times to see the plugins I should have seen tapping just 1 time).
This is so annoying. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

This is for mbernstein:
You hijacked the thread but since the op had his issue resolved I can offer you just a little input. I had the same problem you mention. It started after I installed a few SPB programs. I'm not sure if it was the Pocket Plus, Mobile Shell, or something else but it was definately an SPB proggie. Once I uninstalled the programs the issue went away. I'm disappointed because they are good softwares.
Thanks. This should be the case. But it is a shame as Spb softs are quite good (otherwise).
Yes, I unchecked SPB today plugins and it took a long time (right one) for the screen to go "home". thanks.
Hi, the Diamond returns itself to the Today Screen (with the huge clock) every time the device locks itself. I did the registry hack "AutoDeviceLockEnable" to lock itself after it goes to standby (40 sec.). This also happens when LONG pressing the right phone button.
I like to stay in my apps after switching the device off.
I have NO PASSWORD policy on the device (I know there are other articles which claim password policy is the reason)
Is this Windows 6.0/6.1 generic or a "special feature" in co with the TouchFlo interface?
Maybe someone knows a reg-key to turn that off.
Would be a great help!
Yours B.
Untick the today timeout in settings > today.
??? This setting is to return to today screen after 4 hours of usage, that doesn't help!
pushing it up, can't believe no one has an idea!?
Annoying for me too. The other day I was editing some settings, left the phone for 30s so it locked and went to the today screen which messed my TFL3D for a little while.
Anybody have a solution please?
Has this been solved yet.
As I want to put device on lock with the application in use screen still displayed
still nothing?
This is standard WM behaviour, it returns to the Today screen upon locking. In my opinion, your options are (1) use a different lock or (2) use a task manager to easily switch back to the required program.
I don't use TF3D so it's easy for me to select the required program using a simple task manager at the top of the today screen. I use DevState 1.5, configured to show just a row of big task icons. This works really well in combination with SPB Pocket Plus, like so:

You can try TouchLockPro
This is special made for locking/unlocking with an running application active.
So my home screen changed what can I do to fix it? when I tap home it goes to a different screen than it use to. I went into edit and tried to move them around to get the screen I had back to home but did not work. I have a icon on the bottom of one of the screens while in edit that looks like the home button and it stays on that screen no matter what I do. I moved that screen everywhere to far left to far right but it still stays as my home screen. I want my old home screen back Help me please.
I hope I have explained this correctly.....
What launcher are to using?
I am using what ever came on the phone I have not added a launcher
I do not use touch wiz. That is stock. I use launcher pro. Read this, maybe it will shed light
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...64-how-do-you-change-default-home-screen.html
I found that and read it while searching google for help but it did not help me I really did not want to add another launcher to the phone if I don't have to. And I tried all those things.
Thanks
From home, menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications
Now you may need to hit menu -> filter and select All if you are using the stock launcher TwLauncher.
Find the current launcher select "Clear defaults". The next time you hit home it will prompt you to select a default again.
Thanks this is what I was looking for are to a tech person for this phone or what? I have search everywhere for an answer and have found nothing that is correct. I need your contact info in case I have other question or problems about the phone.
Thanks Again!
No just got my captivate in december. Have a tech background actually with blackberry. If you get stuck again just post here again, there are many helpful forum users.
Hi all,
I have searched - unsuccessfully - an application that displays, discretly, my fingerprints on the screen.
Why ????
Because I would like to use my note like a gamepad :
I plug it to my TV and from my couch I play N.O.V.A 3
You understand why I would like to see my fingerprints: in order to do not look at my phone!
If you have any idea ...
Thx
I believe this is what you're looking for:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.globaltouchconfirm
There is also similar effect if you select "Show touch input" under "Developer" menu - depending on your rom, however, this menu/feature might not be enabled.
Hi !
This app is exactly what i'm looking for .... but I'm on ICS
I've already test the developper option "show touch input" but it's not discret. I mean you see the entire trace of your movement and cursor coordinate at the top of the screen
EDIT : Actually, you are right Akiainavas ! I thought you spoke about "Display cursor emplacement". I've read to fast ... ! Thx !!
Hi guys!
As the title says, the lower left part of the screen where the number part of the keyboard is not responsive (I used 3 different keyboard, LG default ICS kb, Perfect Kb, Smart Kb Pro, and uses T9 mode; running stock ICS; rooted). I just can't press it. Even the phone button, the one in the launcher isn't responsive to the touch.
Any ideas? Hope isn't a hardware problem..
Hello..
This doesn't sound good indeed..
You could try in TWRP recovery or an other touch recovery, and I think you'll be sure
Try to leave your phone off (maybe with battery out) and see what it gives .. :/
But sorry I can't think of a software bug :x the all screen works well or not, not just a corner can't work properly..
Or try a clean flash of a rom.
Hope this will solve your problem
I have a broken digitizer on mine and my screen only works on the bottom half. Here's how I found out that it's a hardware issue not the software.
Go to settings - Developer options.
Under Input, check "Show touches" and "Pointer location"
Touch and swipe at all locations on a blank screen. You'll see a pair of blue lines making a cross follow your finger. If it doesn't, then there is something wrong with your digitizer.
EDIT: Added screenshots to show you what I mean.
Oh interesting, I wouldn't think that a partial working screen would be possible ^^
