Screen Align problem
Me too having the same problem after hard reset

I think its a problem with the latest wm6.1 roms.
Align must be a bit "off" to work...although I havent found a pattern yet...

Download PHM RegEdit, install and create/modify this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="501,489 781,231 778,770 232,759 232,225"
These should work quite OK

I could have cooked a version that applies the necessary calibration data via provxml.. but alas it's too late now

keep stic on points shown like addsign. not by hands

You guys walking around one main problem.
Touchsreen of your phone appears to be broken, when allign test is not passed its becames by fault of touchscreen. Doesnt matter what firmware do you use. Its just warrancy repair, if you have it. Mostly is replacing of touchscreen.
Donst listen to advises to pass this test is hardware fault.

hi, "welcome.not" worked for my samsung sgh-i780 very good.
I could start my phone without any alignment, but i'm sure, that in near future i will need to change touch screen.

Thanks for this tip. Now I can use my phone till the touchscreen is replaced/repaired.

Yeap "welcome.not" worked for me. i connect the device with windows device center since i am using windows 7 . then i naviagte to the root folder of the phone and put a blank welcome.not file and reboot it starts with out asking the align screen and now my phone is working fine. no need of the touch since i have a full qwerty key and a senser mouse. thank you so much.

No way, it must work. It shouln't have 2 extensions 4 example : welcome.not.txt or similar. It should be just WELCOME.NOT.
@au22ru
It's not necessary to copying to root AND root of sd, it could be one root, but i preffer to have this file on sd, because after flash root of internal memory is deleted.
@yonylove
check the attachment. Unzip and copy to your sd.

hi heineken,
This thread started 2 years ago, but is still relevant for people like me..
My i780 also have TS problem.. at first, it started small only. Align Screen takes about 5x before it aligns, works for awhile, then misalign again. Then I Align again, maybe takes 10x now, work for a while, then not work again. I even re-Flashed ROM.
Now, I try to align it I must have tried tapping crosshairs 100x already, wont get aligned. And I cant quit the Alignment screen so I take out the battery to power off then on again.
From what I understand,
#1.. TS is now broken, Hardware (Screen) problem? no other fix, as you say above?
#2.. This "Welcome.not" solution at first gave me hope.. I thought there is simple fix, until I understand it now.. I think now if I REFLASH Rom, the phone will first ask you to Align Screen and since i cant, Ill be stuck there forever, right? Even if I take out the battery?
Therefore as long as my TS is broken, I SHOULD NOT REFLASH or I will be stuck? Am I right? And if I do get stuck then the solution is "Welcome.Not". (At least there's a way out) Did I get it?
I can still use mouse and keyboard, but Im not happy because I have lots of apps that use TS. Like GPS software when Im driving, as well as many games. It even makes swiping or reading sms hard with defective TS.
Fortinately, I think I may have a solution for me.
I still have that old bricked i780 (dead) somewhere. I bought a replacement and this one Im using now has the defective TS. (Maybe because I buy it 2nd hand.. although it was working fine the first few months)
QUESTION: Can I take the dead i780 to a celphone technician and ask him to replace the TS panel on my current one? That should work, yes? Problem is many celphone technicians are not familiar with the i780 model, but they work with a lot of Touchscreen phones. This should be easy for them to do and it should work, yes? (unless it is a chip issue or something more technical)
The reason Im asking for advice is I want to be careful now who I allow to open up my phone and mess with it. I suspect the last time maybe my 1st phone could still be revived properly but I showed it to many technicians maybe along the way someone permanently killed it.
Thanks for any advice!

My D810 can not work

I down a rom from here and flash my D810, after flash, ever thing ok. Then I installed a Chinese language pack. After installed, the two function key can not work. I think was the Chinese Language pack problem. So I uninstalled it. Now is the problem coming. My D810 can not start. Only stay in start logo. Hardreset also not work. Can not go to bootloader. Now what can i do. Please help me, thanks~~~~~

Hi there.
Switch off your phone and switch it back on pressing power and camera buttons together. This should lead you to Hard-SPL "Menu". After the appearance of a multi-color screen, you are able to connect your phone to a computer and install a new ROM.
My advice is to try the original HTC Rom, which can be found on Original Roms Post. This should let you test default factory configuration and validate if the problem has something to do with the keyboard or just the ROM.

Thank you for your reply. But the big problem is I can not go to the multi-screen color. I try it many time. I think my D810 end.

Never End... (Hopefully)
Could it be that one of your buttons is not pressing all the way? I've had trouble lately getting a couple of my buttons to press. Try pressing just a "Little" harder taking care not to break anything.
And just to confirm: You are holding down 'Power', 'Camera', and then pressing and releasing 'Reset'? I'm sure you are, I just wanted to confirm.

I do this many many time,just stay in start logo and the key are no response

I was hoping to help you on the cheapest way... The other one, is disassemble it... Check Dimanto's guide, which i can confirm, is good. Just did it step-by-step and it is perfect...
Dimanto's Guide to disassemble Trinity
if what SuperSport was suggesting is not valid (keys got stuck) maybe you have a MoBo problem if it's only a keyboard, it's cheap enough to repair, i hope...

Something I had not thought about previously... Have you tried to remove the Battery for about 30 Seconds to see if it will reset?

I not yet try this, after try this, I report to you, thx~~

I think can not disassemble it, it is to difficult for me, any way thank you very much.

If you decide not to try to fix it, don't throw it away. I'm sure people on here would be willing to buy it to try to fix it, or for parts.
If you want to try to remove the battery, you need to slide the back plate up. It does take a little force if you've never done it before. Use your thumbs and push it up.
Edit: Place your thumbs where the large circles are in the attached image and press up towards the camera lense, sliding the backplate up.
Good luck.

I removed the battery around 20 hours, the answer is same. Still stay in start logo.
I didn't throw it away, i want to fit it. I like this phone very much. I hope it alive again, thanks~~

I'm sorry that none of the simple things have worked. It sounds as though pjvieira might be right. It may be a hardware issue. Hopefully just the buttons, but maybe the motherboard. pjvieira's suggestions would be the next thing to try.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

I think is the hardware problem. Maybe the OS damage, so only stay in start logo. Maybe sent to shop for maintence.

Phone always has a white screen, but seems to work

Hi Forum,
I got a dash with the WM 6.1 from this great forum.
Somehow since yesterday the screen turned completely white
There was no physical impact on the phone what so ever...
When I turn the phone on, the screen is all the time white... but the phone is still working since the alarm is still ringing....
I've tried already the following:
- took the battery out for over 6 hours and tried again
- with and without sim/sd card
- to reset the phone but with no success since I cant see anything (2 softbuttons, powerbutton etc.)
- putting WM 6.5 with no success with the Error 270
- pressing and holding any button
- tipping the jagger for 3 times
- and finally hitting the phone
All these steps didnt use me anything...
I'd be gratefull for any sudgestions
Maybe the screen is just damaged and its not because of the software...
thanks a lot,
RedDot69

Hard-reset will be best option and can be done blind since it's button sequence as known then green key, i knopw that peeps have done it blind and with you spending enough time it will be sorted... The other option is bootloader and flash your stock ROM as won't get an error 270

thanks for the fast reply.
ok about the hard reset.
I hold both buttons beside green and red button then while holding i turn on the phone (power button more then 3 sec.) after it turned on i let go of the buttons and press the green button (I pressed it a several times). What after that?? will everything happen automatically??
if yes then the hard reset wont help since its still white...
unfortunately I dont have the original ROM anymore (WM5).
Do you know where I can get it??

Ok I guess I managed to hard reset this thing.
Unfortunately with no success
can anyone help?
will the problem be gone if I change the display?

Can you sync with your PC? That's something that you haven't state in your original post.

From what you have posted in the first post, looks to me like your phone has suffered water/moisture damage. Classic white screen, nothing shows, display turns off after default timeout seconds, phone functions smoothly. For this to occur, you dont have to dunk the phone in water, phone in pocket when exposed to light rain, snow will do it.
If this is the case, the first thing you can do to salvage the phone is to remove the battery, otherwise the charge will short circuit more, leading to irreparable damage.
Second thing, try and keep it open for 24 hours or more and try ONCE more, just once, if the moisture has been evaporated. If not, remove battery again.
Next you will need to find a service center where they will dismantle the phone and physically air dry the PCB, and hopefully if it hasnt already shorted, it will come back to life.
The cost for this could vary from minimal to astronomical, depending upon which country you are in.
Do not take my words for granted, do a google for phone water damage, find out if those are your exact symptoms.
All the best.

yes I can. I already saved the contact list The phone is perfectly working beside the white display...
@ ccpraveen
I really dont think thats the case. Since I was sleeping on the couch, the phone's alarm went of like at 11 and it was all ok, then 30 min later the screen was all white
And the night before I left the phone at home...
Bringing the phone to some service center is out of question, since I live in Germany... If possible, I'd have to repair it my self...
By the way the Display time out works too... Somehow I got the feeling that it wouldnt use me anything to change the display

please, can no one help

install this on your computer http://www.mymobiler.com/
it will silently install on your s620 when it syncs with activesync and you will be able to view your screen from your computer monitor
if everything works buy a new lcd from ebay and replace it because its probably broken

--- sorry didnt want to post ---
Please skip this reply and read the next (cant delete this anymore)

My impression is that you have a hardware problem, maybe your screen has something loose. If you state that you will fix it by yourself, you can read the sticky on how to take apart your dash.

There are also power management settings that will turn the display white, however if it is white all the time, then it's probably hardware. Loose connections does sound possible. I'd check that first

You can try the following:
*- COMPLETELY disassemble your phone.
*- Take the PCBs apart on a table or something.
Then... take an hairdryer!!!
You have to dry your PCBs: take a PCB in your hand and do the work.
Be aware of not using TOO HOT air, or you'll melt all.
If it doesn't work, try to dry your LCD.
Doesn't work?
Okay, then the only 2 possible fixes are:
*- Replace the LCD Flex Cable if not integrated in the LCD.
*- Replace the LCD.
Hope that you'll get your phone fixed and running

[Q] Touch Screen Problem

Recently I began to notice a problem with my phone. Whenever I have the keyboard slid out the touch screen is almost non-responsive. So over the past few days I've tried observing what the exact problem is and I think it could be the cable/ribbon that connects the touch screen to the keyboard. I'll have to tilt the screen back and forth before it will actually recognize me touching it. And I've noticed when I rub that ribbon it seems to work. There's also a crease in the ribbon where it folds on it when you close it. I believe this is the problem but I'm not sure and I want any advice/tips I can get. If it is the cable can you order a new one and replace it yourself?
Thanks in advance

Any ideas anyone? I cant get it to half work so I can text and stuff but I have to press it hard and it still wont work at times so something somewhere or another is wrong.

Flash the stock ROM and SPL, and do a warranty exchange. This isn't a device you want to open up unless you really know what you're doing and are certain of the issue. If you really want to give it a go, then just buy a non-functioning unit from eBay to use for parts. They can normally be had for less than $40.

Wow, I cant believe that I finally found someone with the same problem as I have.
At first I thought that it was a software issue and I reloaded the software on my device.
The screen responds to presses with the keyboard in, but extended it doesnt respond and only the external keyboard works.
So to type a nice long sms I would have to start it on my display, flick out the keyboard to carry on and then flick it back in before I could press send or anything.
How frustrating.
But I did a test now and flicking the keyboard out and then slowly slowly pushing it back in I can get to a stage where both the external keyboard and screen responds at the same time again.
Definitely a ribbon problem or something.
Only had this phone for a few months now and if it already doing this then I am not feeling too obtimistic about its future.
Well, time to take it in for a warranty repair. I wonder how much greaf I am in for now.
Time to pull out my awesome trusty Artemis out the cuboard.

I had a friend that had this problem with his TP2 which I've successfully repaired. First thing if you want to do it yourself, go to youtube and look for the Rhodium disassembly video (this will help you a lot). It is not difficult to change any parts in the phone provided that you proceed with caution and take the necessary precautions.
If you are afraid or have never opened up a phone to fix parts, then I would suggest to send it to HTC - this would be devastating if you managed to break up the motherboard by mistake or any other parts in the process of fixing the flex cable.

Tripp --
Did you ever find resolution to your problem? Recently my phone started having the same problem, which I originally thought was related to messing up the calibration file when I put loaded xdandroid GBX0A.
However, it sounds like my problem is pretty similar to yours -- touchscreen works fine when the keyboard is closed, but when it is open it only registers on the bottom of the screen -- which is actually useful in some sense because I can still hit the soft keys in the messaging app and such, but not so useful if you want to scroll using the touch screen. If I play around with the z-hinge a bit, sometimes it starts working -- which sounds like the same thing that you described.

Sorry, I just seen your post but I never fixed mine as I went ahead and bought another phone (Evo) but I did research the problem quite extensively and the problem I believe lies in the ribbon that connects the two halves of the phone. If I remember correctly the motherboard is in the side with the keyboard and that's why when it's slide out, the touch screen won't respond correctly. You can find the part online and replace it yourself. I've taken mine apart and it's not that hard but as said, you need the right tools and to be very careful.

Hi guys
I have tried all the above
Last resort is i got sprite backyup to work
BUT HOW THE HELL DO YOU HIT "NEXT" OR "OK" FROM THE KEYBOARD AS SCREEN DOESNT WORK????

Microphone problem

Guys good evening.
Need some help as i opened the desire to replace the screen replaced put everything back and from then when you talk the other can barelly hear you.
It worked well for some days after i dont know what i ve done ( i think i press some force in case that something wasn't fitted good ) but now the problem came back again.
Do you have any idea what to look for? I am afraid that i will have to disassemble the phone without knowing what to search for . I suspect that some contacts somewhere losing connection.
Please any tip and advice is welcomed
Thanks
