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.

This is for HTC Wizard, but it should work.
I recently replaced the broken screen on my dash and, while doing so, apparently forgot to reconnect the jogger bar. I can't find the torx screwdriver to take it apart and hook it back up so... I was wondering if there is any way to control call volume without the jogger bar. thanks

Hit this key <-
Anyone else have this problem? I have accidentally put more people on hold by mistake than I care to admit! THis should not happen, right? I know there is a proximity sensor that turns off the screen, but sometimes, the screen comes on while I am talking, then I hit it with my cheek??
Can that button be disabled? I won't ever use it.
Are you a using a shell or case that is covering the area near where it says HTC in the top left corner of the screen? If so, that is the problem. I had to drill a hole in the case I got from my TMo dealer to allow the sensor "see" my ear to turn off the screen.
Regards,
Gordo
I dont know if it can be disable, but sometime mine hits the notification bar. What you can do is to aproximate your face while in a conversation, but not hit the phone immediately, cause the sensor has a lag time to shut off the screen. After you get used it will happen less often. Fortunately my cheek is larger and hits the screen far from the mute button Cheers
never had that kind of problem, the proximity sensor is great for me...maybe when u talk u hold the sensor part away from your ear. this had happen when i use iphone for several time.

Yea, I've gotta learn how to "hold" my phone properly, lol. My screen turns on and off randomly. I'll get the hang of it.
Or, just click the power button as you're bringing the phone to your ear. Then the screen will be off.
now that is a good idea. just turn the screen off when talking. duh....ok. thanks!
and Gordo- I replied to your thread already, so you can answer me over there. Thx.
couple of times i hit redial... my dad says "hold on there's the other line" and its ME!
now i just turn the screen off

LOL.
I should do that to someone, hehe.
Im having some trouble with my physical touch buttons. They seem to stop working every now and then. If I bash the phone on my hand a few times they usually start working again. I'm guessing theres a dodgy connection inside somewhere thats causing this. There are no other symptoms though so it's very specific to the touch buttons.
I've opened the phone to have a look if anything looked loose but on the face of it everything seemed fine. However, I wasn't sure which ribbon was for what and couldnt find a diagram anywhere on the net after a quick search. Can anyone help identify what all the connections are for? In the picture I have circled the 5 main connections. So far I have figured the following:
Black circle - touch for screen
yellow circle - metal docking contacts on back of phone
red circle - not sure possibly speaker/touch buttons?
blue circle - not sure possibly speaker/touch button?
green circle - vibration motor?
If you know better please correct me. I think the touch buttons either work off the screen touch responsive connection (black circle) or the red or blue circles but cant quite figure out which.
Thanks
i know the gold colored part on the bottom left of the phone is the digitizer connector, is the rest of the screen working? if not make sure the aforementioned connector is pressed down securely

Everything else is working fine, no issues with screen whatsoever, its just the touch buttons. Thats why im trying to figure which connector does the touch buttons

yup
not sure whats up in that case mate, i have been taking apart my phone for the first time also, i messed up the signal coaxial cable connector on the bottom right and had to install a new part lol
It seems that there are some dead sensors or something in the upper right hand corner of my screen.
I'm getting these 'phantom touches' that keep pressing whatever is in that corner.
I'm wondering if there is any way to turn this part of the screen off, so it doesn't continue to register touches that aren't actually happening.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue?

Okay, that kinda sucks. I guess it is kinda old after all. Thanks for the input though!
My cousin used to have this problem, she couldnt touch some parts of screen So she needed to use her phone on landscape mode
In order to see what parts have problem on play store write toucscreen test etc
No software solution
it's a hardware problem ..Your touch screen needs to be replaced
