Hi,
while listening to mp3s having my MDAIII in the inner pocket of my jacket the device hung up.
After a reset the rom list on the boot screen was empty. Anticipating something bad I resetted the device again immediately.
Now the rom versions were present and the device booted normally.
Trying to enter the pin code I noticed the not working touch screen.
Using the keyboard I was able to enter the pin. The device seemed to work perfect, except:
* not working touch screen
* not working phone buttons
* some remapped keyboard keys
Hoping the best I installed explode's BA_WM5_AKU3.5_R3. Everything was fine until the WM initialization came up...
... Tap the touch screen .... FCUK!
So I can't do anything with my beloved device.
Any hints or help appreciated!
I have the exact wierd problem.... Its like the screen is miss-alligned (rotated by 90 degrees)... The start button instead of being in the top left corner, its in the top right corner.... The ok button instead of being in the top right corner, its in the bottom right corner.... etc etc...
Anybody can help?
Thanks

Removed the battery over night ...
... after reloading next day - everything was fine.
Hi I am a newbie and just bought a samsung i780.
The trackpad is fantastic but i found that the left edge of the trackpad is not working (aprox. 30% on the left of whole trackpad). Use left index finger to move up and down on the gap between windows button and the pad, it seems not working. But the right edge is ok.
But anyway, i use thumb rub at the center and it still working.
Just want to know this is as design or defect? Anyone of your i780 have such issue?
thanks,
Nope. No such problem.
As for me, my trackpad is 'oversensitive' as described by the technician. The mouse will move by itself and worse thing is that it will simulate the 'clicking' of the button also. Right now it's in the service centre... not sure if they can do anything about it though....
Seems the TP2 also has a "grip of death" of sorts. Basically if you hit the Volume Buttons on the side of the devise and touch the screen, it automatically activates the Screen align util and until you complete the Screen align to the devices satisfaction, You are stuck there.
Basically this translates to any time you use the Volume Buttons while holding the phone to your face, It activates the Screen Align Util. (At least that is what happens to me about 10 times a day)
Does anyone know of a way to deactivate this "Feature/Major Annoyance"?
Thanks
mine does not do this. i suspect something is wrong with your device.
This also does not happen with my phone, just tested it out. Even called myself at work. Are you using a cooked ROM or stock? I am using stock ROM from AT&T
Try again. Hit both Volume Buttons (Simultaneously) on the side of the phone and tap the screen, It will start up the align screen until every time. I have verified that this VZN and Sprint TP2`s. It may be a CDMA thing but this feature is designed into the phone (And it sucks!).
Anyone know of a way to disable this?
mine does that from time to time, but I never figured out what causes it, but, you are right it is ANNOYING when it happens.
Cooked rom, if it makes any difference.
Hi all,
Confirmed on UK TP2 - stock WM6.5 ROM, no special apps etc installed. Had to soft reset to get out from a mixed screen align/text message app screen.
No looping align screen after reset - but annoying. Best suggestion (without being sarcastic!) - don't press both volume buttons at once, seems to be a way into a "fix the problem" mode for those with grossly un-aligned screens. How else could you get into align screen to fix the problem? ... aka "feature not a bug".
adam.
both volum buttons?
under what scenario are you hitting both volum buttons at the same time, with enough force to depress them, and touching the screen? I tried doing this on purpose and its almost impossible to do with intention much less on accident. you would have to be gripping your phone with massive, angry, force. maybe the fix is to stop talking to whomever it is that is pissing you off.
in anycase, i still could not get this replicated on the tmobile tp2. of course i am using the fastest and most stable rom provided for this phone: stock wm 6.1 with tf3d. so maybe its a feature of 6.5.x and some rendition of sense 2.x
Hold the Phone in your left hand. In my case my Thumb naturally rests on the Volume Buttons. My Thumb covers both Volume buttons. Now if I get a call and the phone against my Face and I attempt to adjust the volume with my Thumb (By rocking my Thumb up or down), Sometimes I manage to accidentally hit both. If that happens, The Screen align will start up every time because the screen is already touching my face.
I have talked with many other TP2 owners that have this same problems however they did not know what was causing it. All they knew was the Screen align kept starting up randomly.
Back to.. Is it possible to disable this? Maybe even assign a different key combination to start the screen align util such as Vol Down and endcall or something. It is too easy to accidentally press both volume buttons if you are on a call. If you do that while the phone is touching your face, the screen align will start and the phone is now locked until you get out the stylus and go through the realign.
this is one problem that annoys the hell out of me. occasionally ill have my phone in my pocket and when i pull it out im forced to align the screen. if i dont whip the stylus out (forcing me to use 2 hands) and do it properly it'll just repeat and no other action can be taken until it is complete.
how can i disable this?
the screen is already aligned but im guessing it gets interrupted sometimes when in my pocket thinking it needs an alignment
also while im here. any easy way to stiffen the power/screen button? i reassembled my TP2 the other day and ever since then it's slightly softer. i always bump the button when i'm holding the phone horizontally
It should never, ever go to the align screen unless you're pressing the key combo to enter it... Which I don't even remember what the key combo is for the RHOD. On my RAPH I think I had to hold a volume button and the middle button. I'll try to look it up, but basically there's probably a key combo you're hitting while the phone is in your pocket, that is causing that screen to come up.
Search is magical.

Seems if you hit both volume buttons and tap the screen it pulls it up? Sorry, I can't test this... I completely wiped WinMo off my RHOD .
I hold the phone in my left hand and would like to be able to reach back key with my left thumb. The current location of the back key is on the right side and my thumb can not reach that far causing two handed navigation.
