Hi,
Every second or third time I tap my screen wherever it opens the start menu instead of touching the area I want.
Is this a config problem, a WM61 build problem, or maybe a problem linked to my HardSPL, or is it a harware problem?
I had this problem with different ROMS, and different screens.
Thanks for your help !!
Search for TopBar 0.10 it's a fix for big finger on today screen that made pop up the start menu, you can edit it in registry. Go there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370478

I have the same problem on my HTC P3600.
It seems it's because you have dust under the edges of the mobile screen.
Anybody can confirm it ?

I dont believe that it is the dust under the edges of the mobile screen.
Go here: http://www.xiaprojects.com/?project=TopBar
Description from website:
This bug will popup your starmenu when:
you are using "huge" thumb while tapping the display (xt9 sms writing for example)
cpu is overheating (because it's near the diplay area)
Try installing this as this does fix the problem!

I report the same here. Also HTC3600. I just doubt its problem with dust. I guess its the touchscreen or some sort of WM setts.
It happens when I hit larger area. Eg with whole finger. Not just nail, which is OK.
It cant happen with multitouch if Im right.
Soo.. if there is some solution, help someone Its annoying "feature".
edit: Well, now I see sphinxy's answer. Thx, man
problem
I believe your screen got problem... (hardware) or too much dust...
this is a well-known problem and TopBar is the solution...I'm current using it

Yes, I can confirm that topbar works. Here it is http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Tweaks/TopBar-P3600-Screen-Bug-Fix-60642.shtml
everyone, installed Topbar but still have the same problem.
So it must be a hardware problem, and since it happened with several screens, it must be on the motherboard, not the screen itself?
Or maybe it's because of my hardspl (very early version before WM61 came out)?
thanks for your help

I had a similar issue. After reading around I followed someone's advice. I don't know if this will help you but it worked for me:
1. Remove any screen protector you may have on.
2. Place a credit card under the edges of the screen frame and press it upwards slightly. Work your way around all the edges of the screen frame, lifting it up gently to release pressure.
3. Not only can a lot of dust build up under the frame, it can also sometimes bend down so that it actually makes contact with the screen when you press an area elsewhere on the screen.
After 10 minutes or so of bending, the screen suddenly started working again, but it was all out of sync. So, I reset the screen configuration with taps (like you do after a flash). Once I did that it was perfect again and has never troubled me since.
This may not be the problem in your case, but may be worth a try.

Silence....
I'm wondering if you sorted it, in case anyone else has the same issue...?
Mattster.
It seems that the Topbar made it's work for me...We'll see....!
Great. Very pleased for you!
Matstter
topbar works for me
All,
topbar did not work for me, and I ended up buying a new screen on ebay;
installed new screen, and, problem gone!
Not all screens on ebay are good quality, careful!
the one I found has good very screens is joeweiderx

i was just making sure it was not the rom he had installed, sorry if you thought i was talking about redoing the rom and that would fix it but their is no way a rom could fix that he prolly dropped his phone 1 to many times
Yeah, i have dropped it a number of times.. but never it happened like this. this has been happening since a week now.. I have WM6 Premuim V2 by Dutty.. Its been on my phone since almost a year now.. Recently I had installed WM6.1 S64 Lite.. But that was very unstable and slowed the phone down.. So now I am back on WM6 Premuim V2 by Dutty..
Hope this helps..
You should DL the htc maintenance manual and try reconnecting the lcd cables. I had whitescreen issues and bottom of screen jumping t top so I bit the bullet and opened hermes up. was considerably easier than expected ( though do yourself a fovour and get the torque set (torque 6) ) and had it pulled apart then put back together in less than an hour. there is a lot of unneeded dissassembly in the maintenance manual (just take apart whats needed) but read thoroughly and do step by step and you should have no problem. Hope this helps you out...cheers....

hehehe that will work for sure.
Yep.. it was the issue with LCD.. also my screen would go fully white and nothing would happen after that.. That happens everytime I slide it.. It is found that the slide strip is the issue.. so that has to be replaced for it to solve..
It happens to me quite a bit when i open up the keyboard..sometimes i'll get just a "t", lots of times "ty." I don't think it's a coincidence that they happen to be the 2 top most centered keys, but I don't think the casing is rubbing and pressing the buttons. Is anyone else experiencing this? It is pretty annoying cause you always have to delete them before you type anything
i get them as well since i last updated (CRC r11.0)
same rom as me...
hmmm....better check in that thread
Mine does it as well using TNT's Rom. I don't think it's rom related, as every ROM I've used has done this.
It may not look like it, but I'm betting your casing it rubbing. I know mine is by using dry erase marker and seeing the transfer on the T and Y keys.
Good luck
lol.. i get them also.. but it only happens sometimes...
im using FARIA-R32-XDA2 rom
Yea, sitting here playing with mine, you're right, only sometimes. Seems it depends how I open the slide, how it torques, etc.
TY
No... It never hppened to me, actually... No matter what ROM I use...
I wish I could help.
Iim sorry...
Cheers.
Your phone is thanking you for installing a new rom! TY!

Hello Together,
I think it is a hardware problem. When push with your thumbs on the bottom of the screen while you slide out the keyboard (this is my normal methode to slide it out) you push the characters T and Y because they are in the middle of the upper row.
I wonder if it is possible to lock the buttons (in software) till the slider is out completely (when the screen rotates). Does anyone know a register or software solution?
Greetings Pudl
yes its a hardware problem...your keyboard cable is a bit loose probably...
you have to take your phone apart to fix that
its the bottom left ribbon cable with a flat silver plate that u need to unplug when u seperate the motherboard
and the screen rotation is activated by some magnetic thingy if i remember correctly
hehe,i also think it's the hardware problem
Dear,
Yesterday, suddenly, the buttons on the "front" of the phone (mail, Internet, OK, D-Pad, etc) stop working "sometimes" (50~60% percent, maybe). I thought about ROM problem but I flashed twice with other ROMs and the problem persists.
I thought also a hardware problem, but it's quite strange, because it's not one or two buttons, it's all front buttons (also, buttons on the side seems that work always).
Any idea?
Thanks
Sesaru
I experienced this also on one hermes. This problem was already decribed on this forum (do a search) and seemed caused by a connector between the board containing the button's electronic and a flat cable. Some people solved the problem by disassembling their hermes and by putting some piece of foam behind the connector. On my hermes, it was not that issue. It was in fact the board itself where humidity caused the destruction of some wiring. By pressing on the board, the hermes was again functionning for a moment and then, same problem again. This was also accompaigned by the "white screen" effect. But not always. Another symptom was a row of some pixels on the top of the screen reproducing the bottom of the same screen. Only solution: replace the board.
In my opinion, it is well a hardware problem.
Hope this helps
I have the same problem, along with the white screen of death.

Did you happen to just flash a new rom and the problem started??

No, it happened suddenly. I flashed after that, thinking in a ROM problem.
Anyway, I think I could fix it. I just slide the keyboard, and (sorry for my English, I'm not sure how to do say this) 'tighten the two smalls screws" on the back of the screen (the were a bit detached). After that, it seems that it works fine
Thanks!

Glad that worked!
I had a similar issue with one of the new rom i installed and later installing some other roms(couple of times though) fixed the issue. I still do not kn ow what was the real problem
Tightening the screws will work for a little while, but you are likely to see the problems return, and eventually the WSOD errors. Exact same thing has happened to many users. I recommend reading through the threads on it. There are few solutions that involve opening the thing right up (just so your prepared if it happens, which fingers crossed it wont).

Hello.
As of last night, when i turned on my Excalibur, it has had a strange display issue. it looks as if the upper 4/5ths of the screen is displaying only half of an interlace, and the rest is white. the bottom 1/5th is perfectly normal. All phone functions appear to be perfectly normal. I am running 3VO.2.50.080809 ROM.
Can anybody give me an idea of what may be wrong with it, and how i might go about fixing it. In one week i will also have access to a broken Excalibur with a working screen, so if it does turn out that the screen needs to be replaced, that is an option. I'm willing to try anything. Thanks for the support in advance

Have you tried the link in my post?
sorry for the delayed response. yes i did, but there are no programs running at all in celeTask. also. it is not the whole screen that is white. there are interlaced bands of white for the upper 4/5ths of the screen, and the bottom 1/5th is displaying normally. any other ideas? im wondering if reflashing might help.
This happens to my phone.. is it the same that happens to you?

Hello guys,
first of all, yes, I read all the similar threads, but I don't think that they are like my case...
so .. I'm using my TP2 over a year and a half and it was brand new
the phone is hard-spl-ed and I changed my Roms hundreds of times
my Freezing issue starts about month- month and a half
and it appear when the phone goes in stand-by then i cant drag the unlock button .. to solve it, I have to touch and moving my finger many of times over the whole screen , and at some time it start to work.. it is like my touch screen stops responding.
I'm using mostly Energy roms, but also I'm using the XAndroid versions
and this issue was also when i'm using Android, but the intresting is, when it happens when the phone is not at stand-by the screen moving but right after remove my finger it returns to previous position and this is all the time again until i start to touch and drag over the whole screen
I already known that the issue is not from the Xandroid, because I removed everything , and re-installed clean Energy Rom , and it happens again
It is not and from the Storage card (micro 4GB class 6) because it also happens when i removed the card ...
So can somebody advice me something , what could be the problem, what I can try to do or check...
thank you very much for the assistance
Regards

do you have a screen protector? it will need to be removed if so. you might need to increase you screen sensitivity as well
yes I have screen protector
how can i increase my screen sensitivity.. do I need to start using my device w/o screen protector ?
i still can not understant how this start to happening, before I never had any problems in past...

because what happens with screen protectors is that sometimes the screen itself reads pressure from the screen protector as if your pressing down. and since tp2 isnt multitouch, it thinks your pressing the screen before you actually press it. it happens a lot, sometimes it happens to me. but my screen protector is removable so i just pop it off real quick to release the pressure it creates and boom, much much faster and smoother.
i think i read somewhere you can make your tp2 multitouch, that might help. but ive yet to try it so i cant say.
you can search the forums to find the best way to increase sensitivity, there are many diff ways. heres one. it says hd2 but i think it works for us too

again, this may not be your issue, its just a possibility because the situation sounded similar to mine

I was never thought that the screen protector could be the problem, so thank again
ok. but dont forget to remove the screen protector. if you leave it on, increasing the screen sensitivity will only make the problem worse.
