Hi everyone, this is my first post here but I have been reading the posts on here since I first became interrested in the idea of a PDA phone a while back,
I have just bought a 2nd hand XDA iis here in Australia, and found that the touch screen is not working, (worked when I got it, and a few times since).
After hunting around the net to see if it was a common problem I found this link and though I could fix it myself and bought some tork screwdrivers.

I managed to open it up and thought that I had got it fixed, but it is still not working, frustratingly everthing else does but not the touch screen.
I was wondering if anyone else has opened theirs up and knows what I am doing wrong, don't want to get it fixed by a shop unless I have to as I have fixed another PDA that had a dead battery once using a Nokia battery. (Toshiba e570).
Please let me know if any other brave/foolish soul has opened theirs and taken photo's of it's guts, unsure if I need to replace membrane or just clean it off.
Thanks for reading
Hello people,
i don't know how but my screen has a small crack @ the lower left side nothing is afected by it for the exception of the use of my touch screen the alignment has changed not on whole screen only in the closest area to the crack. i tried the align screen setting & it didn't work it kept on running in a loop. What should i do until i change the screen?
thanks for your help...
its knackerd, if its insured, get a new fone, if not, wait til the newer better xda's come out cos if the screen is slightly cracked, its knackerd.

I droped my XDA2s some time ago, and the screen was completely cracked and not working anymore.
I send it of to O2 to get it fixed. I also told them to fix the keyboard as it was really loose.
About one month later I got the XDA2s back with a fixed screen, but the keyboard was still loose. I did not exept the XDA, and told the shop to send it back..
One week later I got a new XDA2s with all the extra stuff that is in the box.
I now have 2 holders, batteries, pouches and more..
Only problem was that my XDA2s was unlocked (I got it in KL) The new one I got from O2 was locked.
I knew about the unlocking tool for the XDA2s, but decided to give O2 a hard time.
I called them, and told them that I got the XDA2s in KL and that it was unlocked.
I also told them that I was with Vodafone, and that the XDA2s was of no use like this for me, as my SIM did not work in it.
They told me that they could not unlock the XDA2s. I told them that I wanted my old phone back. They told me that they could also not do this.
After days of emailing with O2, I gave up, and used the XDA2s SIM-lock-remover from here... One second later the phone was unlocked
Still nice of O2 to give me a new XDA2s with all the extra's
The Start menu pops up as and when it feels like it. It normally happens when writing sms. While writing, the start menu just pops up and it's bloody irritating.
I've tried hard reseting without any additional softwares on at least 4 different ROMs from here & the problem still persists. I'm convinced that it's not a hardware problem cos Karmba 7.2 Non-Touch ROM does not have this problem but the ROM is way to heavy which causes the PDA to slow down.
Is anybodyelse facing this problem? Is there a fix or something to this? Appreciate any help & advice i can get. Thank you.
P/s: I don't get this problem on my TyTN II, Dopod 838 Pro & Touch on custom ROMs
not really ment for the trinity forum is it ?

Well, there has been a number of posts on this known Trinity weakness.
I also experienced quite an irritating behavior as well some time ago.
Look through the threads, you should find them. Personally, I do have the impression that since I use FTouchFlo, it is far better. However, this only is an impression ... not sure it helps,, but at least you should not feel like "I am the only one with this damned f..... thing" !
same problem
I have the same problem on my phone! specially when writing sms with phonepad and no stylus. You are right. It`s unbelivable annoying. the problem seems to dissapear when you are using the stylus and not flabby fingers..
Me 2 :'(
I am also having this problem.
I've noticed that it only happens when i press lightly on the screen, not when i press hard.I Suspect that it is a fault in the digitizer, and somehow it signals to the device that the upper left corner of the screen is pressed.
My suggestion for a possible solve is to write a little program that prevents the user from clicking on the start menu on the screen, by introducing a "non-click" zone where the start menu is on the today screen.
As i allways use the "windows" button i can always access the start menu. This, i think, will prevent this fault from happening.
My only problem is that i don't know how to program native C.
I have not tested my above mentioned theory, but i would wery much like to. So if there is anyone out there that can do this program, i would be very gratefull.
Scann69,
I would hate to make you nervous, but when I encountered the same problem you are havin it was the start of somethign terrible. My Trinity was back and forth from repair for over 6 months!!!
They replaced the screen, it worked for almost 2 days. They replaced the screen AGAIN but when it came back the 'vibrate' function of my poor Trinity didn't work. They then replaced the mainboard and now things appear to have settled down (but i've only had it back for a couple of weeks now).
My suggestion would be send it in for repair. Good Luck

this problem have been there since i bought the phone a year ago. Htc replaced my mainboard around 5 months ago because of some cameraproblems. I think Beebo has a good point about the digitizer. that would surtenly explain why it dont happen to me when i use the stylus. the problem mostly occur when i use my fingers on phonepad while writing sms..
i also got this problem...quite frequent
first, the changed motherboard, nothing solve and still happen quite frequent
second, changed lcd screen, happen less around once a day or 2 days once
i found this problem quite easily by using finger but now even using stylus it also appear....
how u guys solve this problem? got send to service center or just leave it?
Yep this isn't a WM6 issue
Yep it is a Trinity issue
Yep it is a hardware issue, something to do with the LCD screen. Some have said it gets worst if the phone is heated.
You might have seen improvement after installing touchflo because of the increased reaction time to touch.
No I don't know a solution

but this not the way to solve it. this is the trinity's hardware problem. why need us to bear this problem.
what the technician do is change lcd touch screen. it will not solve becoz after a while it will come back. i go to service center until i tired
after monitoring, it still popup at least once a day....
i really don't know how they solve the problem....damn frustrating....
i have this problem too, but only recently.
who gonna be help?
first prob is the start button popping up, next step is that it continually does this and infact will not allow any screen inputs....as in total piece of #$%(ing crap. I have a dopoid d810 in canada , started 2 months into owning the phone , htc will not service it, and pretend like they dont know why this is happening ( there is info all over the net about it, many people think it is the chip that is improperly mounted to the mouther board that controls screen input). AS Dopod has the service contract on this phone htc will not service it for me and of course dopod does not have international warranty. HTC screwed me hard and long.....I have never been so disappointed with a product in my whole life ( even cereal box xray glasses were better than this)
i had this too on my m700, i think it is an issue with the screen mounting, certainly heat and things may well affect it. Possible the casing pushing the top corner of the screen or something.
I had mine replaced by orange.
rjefferis,
what did orange replace for you? touch screen or whole unit pda?

Yes, all you said are right.
the trinity, there are two problem:
one is the LCD mounting, if you touch the LCD slightly, it will push the screen to the corner as click start menu. for the people who met the problem once in few days, it is all right.
the second problem is serious, as you said "worse when heated", that is because a resistant near CPU is designed in wrong place. the problem will happen freqently everyday and worse when phone is hot (cuz the NTR resistant). once it happens, it will get worse and worse till the motherboard breakdown.
i know some people they replace the resistant to fix the motherboard by them self, and they write down all the progress. if some one really handy and insist to fix the problem, i am happy to translate the progress in to WWE
that day i asked staff at service center, they said never occur this problem so far
i asked htc staff(my friend), he said don't know got this problem. seem like htc don't know this problem....

Hopefully you've still got some time left on your warranty. The digitizer needs to be replaced. They normally go for around $50 if you do it yourself. Most sellers will include the tools for free.
touch screen
This is actually freaky!
what a coincidence???? :O
i had installed the ebergy rom a couple of months ago as well! on monday, that is the 8th november, my screen stopped working
i was literally jus about to hard reset and read your comment!
so is ther no solution??
do i have to send it off? i don't know if i have a warranty??
You can usually warrenty exchange for a year after the purchase date. I had this happen to me a few months back, sucked big time. You should probably flash the OEM ROM back to the phone prior to the exchange as well.
Hello. I just made an account here my friend told it is the best site ever made for android users.
My problem starts with that, i own a smartphone called HTC Desire 300, last time i used it was like 5-6 months ago, then it all worked, display and stuff. Then i put that in box because i got another phone and now, today i took it out from there again and saw a weird thing, i have a grey circle around my display, i add a screenshot, and now if i put it on display aint working. Does someone know what can cause it? Do i have to buy new display ( last time it worked, 2 weeks before i ended relationship with that one 5-6months ago then i got a new touchscreen changed ". Does anyone know what is the problem?
So sorry about my English, i hope you can understand.
Much love XDA!
