Can't align screen? Suggestions?

I just bought a blue angel (Mda iii) off ebay.
The unit seemed ok, but after an hour of setup the screen alignment was off. Re-aligned, an went on.
Now, the unit can't be aligned. Have hard reset and it just continues to run through the alignment pattern.
I've not dropped it, or any of that type of stuff. Any Ideas? Sounds like I got a bad deal from the seller.
Thanks,
Steven Foster

Hey Steve!!!
When u hard reset it, does it not get past the screen alignment, or does it??? Because once your device is on, you can try align it through the settings menu... start>setting>system>screen>align screen... But if it does not get past alignment at start, then i think you have a bit of a problem...

get a rom from the FTP and flash it with a new rom, maybe it is software related, if this does not work then it may be the sensors on the screen, that take part in the alignment of the screen.... maybe it was dropped previously and thats why it was sold on ebay, how much did you pay for it???

I had the same problem on my second MDA3. I changed the first, than I changed the second one to a third all with warranty. I think it is a hardware bug! no change of the firmware is solving the problem, I tested that so much.

Steve,
best bet is to bring your device to the nearest service point. I've had the same experience with my xdaIIs, and ended up returning 5 of them for the screen problem. The dealer explained it was faulty screen from manufacturers, and they found 1 batch of shipment (10 units) with the same problem.. Good luck :wink:

My and my other 2 mates bougt XdaIIs's. And my Xda and 1 of my friend's experience the problem. Well... that makes it 2 out of 3 XdaIIs's with screen alignment problem.
Fortunately when we brought our Xda's to the service centre down here, they said, this is a known problem with XdaIIs. They've been getting many complaints the same as ours.
But, no worries whatsoever. They quickly replace the whole screen. And it took only 3 working days.
Now that's what i call customer service!

Can't allign my screen.

Hey guys!
I'm experiencing a very strange and annoying issue with my BA, and I was wondering if I could get some input from you.
So, here goes:
The touchscreen (not LCD) in my unit was broken, and thus I decided to fix it. I purchased a new one off eBay a few weeks ago, and just yesteday I proceeded to install it. To my surprise, something seems to have gone wrong.
I power up the unit, make my way into "Allign screen", and then the last "cross" that I have to touch rarely clicks in. On the other hand, when it does get detected, it simply restarts the alligning process.
What I've tried so far:
- allign right after installation -> no luck
- hard reset (on WM2k5_v4_R2.1) -> no luck again
- opened up the unit again, repositioned the screen -> nothing
- upgraded to Logout_WM2K5_5.4.03_HN -> still nothing
Right now I'm out of ideas, and I was hoping somebody here has some. Do you think the new touchscreen might be flawed ? I'm already discussing this issue with the seller.
Thanks for reading

New touchscreen or a refurb? Same type? (toppolly / sony) Sounds like it's been stripped from an old unit to me as it's not recognising the taps in the right places - can you see somehting like a liquid spill anywhere on the panel? This is what it looks like when the overlay touches the glass.

That was in fact my auction. Looked like brand spanking new to me, not one single stylus mark, and also had the protective sheet on. Of course, I might be wrong
Also, no liquid spill visible anywhere.

I bought from him also and am yet to fit - I got the completley wrong module :-(
Richard

What do you mean wrong module ? The "tip" of the flex cable ? Mine seems to match with what was already there ...

Hey NSD!
I purchased the exact same module for my Himalaya device, after the touchscreen being cracked.
My father, who is an electronic engineer, soldered the flat wire from the touchscreen onto the rear side of the LCD with normal copper wires. Unfortunately I have the exact same problem a you!
After attaching the entire LCD (+touchscreen) onto the mainboard, and supplying power from the battery, I'm not able to go past the Align Screen section!!!
The touchscreen is from the manufacture 'Asian Media' (I think so...).
It can't be a coincidence, that both of our touchscreens don't respond to tapping!!!
Anybody been able to get this problem fixed??
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Kind Regards,
Tony Schattat

I never replaced the touchscreen of my BA but I have replaced the screen of my ex ipaq 6315 once.
And one thing that I know is that sometimes the screen align process is different from the normal, I mean, it keeps repeating and repeating again many times....until the unit finally passes the align step and finishes the configuration. Actually I´ve "aligned" the screen more than 30 x (when I replaced the screen).
It happened just once and then I had a completely normal unit.

[Q] Time to say goodbye to BA ?

Hi all,
my BA and me spent 5 nice years together, during that period I have changed 3 screens and had no other problems but recently BA suprised me (just few months after the last screen replacement) with weird problem.
Screen work, digitizer work but funny, it usually miss the place where I touch the screen 5 around 5 mm to the right, then I draw a note for eg and moving right line I draw lags after the stylus, after I start to draw to the left everything is fine. Up and down is fine too. If I align everything is fine for a some time but when I try it later its messed up again.
I tought that its software problem but after the hard reset nothing changed.
Is this problem familiar to anyone? Is it a time to change a screen again?
I dont believe that its worth, BA is rather old phone but I have previous screen with good digitizer and if you say that I should try to change a digitizer I ll try it (any manual for that? I saw just 4 contacts but covered with plastic and digitizer seems to be glued to the screen)...
Any ideas before I burry my beloved BA
thanks, best regards to BA community and special greetz to Chef Tony
ps
used to try to disassemble it, checked the cables - everything is fine (as long as I can see), they are connected nicely, beside that phone work fine, only problem is with the digitizer

Hello...friend, i got the same problem wit my Himalaya last time n guess what it works fine again after i put a small piece of paper between the phone n the battery..but unfortunately the charging port broken..
but i still have Blue Angel wit me wit no GSM problem..

Replacing the screen

I have broken screen on my htc desire hd, i have replaced the LCD+digitizer before. i know my way around this phone.
Is it easy to replace just glass screen ?
I cant see how i can seprate them. they are glued in this black glue thingy.
Better buy whole LCD + digitizer?

by.......................g0tmi1k

I need to do the same. Also since dropping the phone my Bluetooth turns on and off but doesn't always connect. (highlights or ticks option , but I'm not getting anything on the top bar). I disconnect and re-connect a few times to get it working
While I have the phone apart is there anything I can do to fix it?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Android Revolution HD

I just replaced the glass only on mine. Unfortunately, the touch screen isn't responding. Anyone know where I might have gone wrong??? Everything else seems to work fine!

Probably a Ribbon Cable.

Try taking it back apart and re-place the ribbon cables back in there seat, they may not be making proper contact. If you replaced the glass without taking it apart you probably un-seated one of the cables. When working on iPhones there is a cable that is only held in place once you close it and put the phone back together.... It's a PITA.

Buy new part and dont replace . Your self its difficult. And its not easy

You can buy a "used" DHD device to replace yours. It'll be cheaper and easier... With a backup on sdcard, your device will be the same !

where to get samsung galaxy 3 i5801 lcd display?

hello guyz!
my samsung galaxy 3 i5801 display got damged recently!so i took my cell to local samsung cervice center! he said that the display screen is not available! so he replaced my damaged screen by a duplicate screen! the problem with this screen is it shows different colours when seen from different angles(basically its a TFT screen i guess)! this really hurts my eyes ! so i am planning buy a new screen where can i get one?
i search them on ebay and i found some!but i could not decide which one to get! all are for i5800 and mine is i5801 ! i guess it dosent really makes any difference! As i am not allowed to post urls please search "Display Screen For Samsung Galaxy 3 i5800" on ebay.com and tell me which one to buy!
Thank you!

How much did you spent on replacement LCD ?
Did samsung guys sold you a duplicate/non-company authorized screen, this would be the strangest thing I heard about any company service center.
I don't think you should be buying it off Ebay without knowing about details of screen and a couple of reviews about it.
I recently saved my Galaxy 3 as it suffered from non-functional touch screen and a broken volume button connector, had to fully dis-assemble and do the stuff to fix it.
