Touch Screen Problems - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

My Touch screen won't align.When I hit on the target, it doesn't rotate to the four corners of the screen as it would normally do. When I tap on the lower right corner of the screen, the target marker will rotate to the four corners of the screen. It ends up not taking me to the Today Screen. I'm confused on what to do. I got to this point becos I had to hard reset the phone when the stylus won't respond.
Any suggestion will be so much appreciated.

What unit?
What unit do you have make/mdl? This info will be needed to help!
As far as a hard reset to get it working ??? I don't think it should have needed more then a soft reset? Unless the touch screen is broken!

Thanks for the concern.I have a vodafone 1620 PPC,

Screen problem...

I seem to be having a screen digitiser problem lately...noticed it when I first got my exec where it wouldnt acknowledge any screen taps at the align screen part of the hard reset. Got it working after a few soft resets but now screen taps dont seem to be acknowledge in either portrait or landscape mode. I have noticed that if I press slightly on the right hand side of the exec it brings up whatever is on the right softkey, which is weird. I need some feedback as to whether this is a harware fault or not. Tried flashing to the most latest O2 firmware and still the same thing. Also finding that even after switching off and then back on again, I'm having the same problem with stylus taps not being accepted anywhere on the screen only after maybe 30 seconds. Any help much appreciated. TIA

Stuck on Align screen (tapping works)

I just resurected my xda IIs from the grave and upon start I come to the Align screen stage. I follow the directions as usual but it just keeps asking for the taps over and over and over. It never passes the same five steps. I've tried different ROMs but they all stop there. Could it be caused by the little internal battery being dead? Is my digitizer crap? Is it martians? Are the forces of evil combining against me? Am I doomed?
I'd like to see this old guy work again.
Thanks for any tips in advance.

hard rest then hold the 2 buttons next to the volume slider only and press the rest button on the bottom using the stylus.this should take you to the 4 color screen with 3 options to be set
1st one leave as NO just press the top button
2nd option as yes by pressing the bottom button then press the top button to goto the 3rd
3rd option change to yes again by pressing the bottom button
then press the message button on the front that looks like an postal letter
this wil reset the options saved kind of like resetting a pc bios to manufacture defaults .
then try again to do the alignment.
I had similar when I flashed pdaviets rom to my blue angel and that resolved it
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I broke me screen tinkering with it so I'm not able to test your idea.
I started with two LCDs one with a bad digitizer and one with a broken screen. I touch the digitizer off the one a replaced the other so that I had a working screen but then I had the problem listed above. Before I saw your response I thought I might have some dirt or something under the screen causing it to not work so I took it apart but I guess I was just a little too rough this time and cracked the LCD
I'll have to find a new LCD if I plan to resurrect this phone.
Thanks anyways for the help

I´ve tried everything with my XDA III PH20B1 - no camera model -, but I never get the 3 options screen. Just the 4 colors and bottom right the radio version R 1.10.00.
Is there any other way how to make my O2 XDA III boot after the WM6.1 upgrade ( from 2003se) ?
I have the same problem (I have already reply in another thread...), I am still trying to fix it. I suspect from the backup battery, since before I hard reset my SX66 all programs lost their configuration when I turn off and on again my SX66, and when I tried to realign the screen the align cycle repeated forever. Then I tried hard resetting, reflashing to various OS's and I can not pass the initial calibration screen.
Please keep me posted if someone have found the way to solve it.
Thanks !
no need to upgrade or delete anything from bios,this is not a cause of motherboard and software.I removed the motherboard and essembled in a working screen phone.there is no problem all ok,its not a problem with backup battery too.Then i changed working phone motherboard to cant align phone but same as before it dsnt align.Therefore in my investigation its a problem with the touch or screen.
its not a problem with screen cover too.
If any knows the exact solution for align problem screen ,please post it.
eway - press the power/stand by and leave for 15-30secs
then pen reset, press [cam] + [rec] as the 4 colour screen comes on and change 2/3 - as previously stated countless times - press [mail] to reset - this will reboot your new rom.
touch flo user manual is a little allusive
but, soo much too test, soo little time

How to bypass Align Screen?
If you have flashed a proper rom/ hard reset your device, there could be some dust on display which won't let the align screen pass. This is a real annoying feature on WM platform. But guess there are always ways to bypass software related issues.
The display can be cleaned by patting a small amount of water on it, and then running the water along with a visiting card on the edges of the screen. This will take off all the dust on the sides, and will let you pass the align screen easily. You can simply wipe the display propely with a glass cleaner.
If this doesn't help then :
When your phone says align screen, connect the phone with computer and get it detected in Active Sync. Next, you could be able to access Tree/Files on your phone. If you are able to do so, then go to startup and delete files directing to Align Screen, if I remb it was "welcome" something. Delete the file, and there won't be any align screen.
or
You can always go for an easier method. Download Code Factory's Remore Screen Alignment (http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=108). And simply enjoy.
In both of the case, active connection with Active Sync is important. If you are unable to connect your phone, then I believe there ain't any way other than changing the display.
Hope it helps.

O2 Flame
Hello everybody,
I've got a serious problem with my 2 years old O2 Flame: sometimes, when I reboot my pda, I can't realign the screen. And when I can do it, after a while, the left of the screen doesn't respond, or, when I click on it, it's another part of the screen that answers! I flashed the bios already: nothing changed.
@Gerd
Did you try Remote Screen Alignment?
Sonny
wow, that tool is awesome. My digitizer is cracked.

Help with TP2 hard reset - when touch-flo not working

Hi - Can someone please help me! I have tried to do the hard reset using the three buttons and its not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The Touch Flo 3-D is stuffed and because touching the screen wont work I cant disable it grrrrr. You can't press any buttons on the screen.
There is a limited amount that you can do with the physical keyboard (up down keys etc) but not enough to enable hard reset.
Have managed to get to the Clear Storage page - but as the Touch Flo isn't working - we cant get the Yes to work to finalise the hard reset
We can't get to Today screen to turn Touch Flo 3-D off either.
I can copy files across using ActiveSync to the phone - but am unable to execute anything as no ability to touch the screen (and the TP2 is missing the two physical buttons that the Tytn II had - god I am missing them sorely now).
Does anyone have any suggestions please - I am desperate for help. I Can't do much at all..
Thanks Kelly
Thanks
if you have a Verizon TP2 its a different set of buttons. Search for hard reset Verizon & it should help you (if that's the phone you have)
Also, make sure that the phone is completely off when you try to press all of the buttons.
Thanksssssssssssssss
XNIFEX - you a complete genius.. that was the missing link.. In the end I had to take battery out whilst turned on to turn it off.. then pressed all three buttons and hard reset is in progress.
On the down side I have lost everything on the phone due to TOuchFLo failure.. I think I might disable it upfront from now on.
Thanks again!!
Oops spoke too soon
Hi, I spoke too soon.. The hard reset worked.. but alas the screen is still not recognising touch. So I am back to square 1. Time for a warranty claim I guess.
Also I have a Telstra TP2 as I am in Australia. Thanks again.
If you have warranty use it!
The you can customize

loose digitizer

Hi,
after i managed to fix the issues of my aria (with your help, thanks) i figured out that the touch screen isn't fully responding to my fingers.
at normal - all of the screen responds. except of two mm of the perimeter, and the nav keys.
if i push the top of the screen, the nav keys start working, but the screen isn't responding at all.
so i guess it is little loose.
what can i do to fix it back to normal functioning state?
thanks.
im just going to take a long shot and say taht the digitizer has been replaced before , and the adhesive used was too thick
try installing this

left and right edges of screen don't register touch anymore

It started with it being hard to press 1,q etc keys on keyboard. When I enter developer settings and enable pointer location ,I realise it doesn't register at least hundred pixels on entire left and right sides of screen. Quite annoying. My gf phone is slowly going that way also.. any ideas apart from replace screen or phone? Also around entire edges of phone it looks like screen is delaminating,i.e. a lines and checkers pattern shows....
I have the same problem. It started with a crack, when the phone was bent too much (see picture).
But the unresponsive left edge started later, after I had fixed the phone in a car cradle. Probably the cradle held the phone too hard.
I noticed it because I was using gesture navigation and I couldn't use the back gesture when swiping from the left side. The right side still works in general, but in some apps I have a problem on the top right edge with the 3 button menu button.
You can check your touchscreen in the hardware test menu (*#*#6484#*#*) with test 8 Touchpanel edge.
Also test 7 ITO fails for my device.
Sorry, I have no advice for your problem.
My personal solution for this problem is: I will dump this device, which had hardware problems right from the start (like bluetooth disturbing WLAN) and lots of software bugs, which Xiaomi is not willing to fix. Instead a Pixel 4a will be my daily driver in a few weeks.
My problems also started after bending the entire phone.. was looking at replacement lcd and frames but in reviews they seem to not have proximity sensor..maybe just get a new phone and have this as backup..
