problem with tap screen?

Hey, so I bought a 8525 cingular(at&t) yesturday. The guy sold it to me cheap because he said when he upgraded it to the vp3... somethin which is WM6 the touch screen didnt work anymore. But he was able to get passed the, "TAP THE SCREEN TO SET UP YOUR WINDOWS MOBILE-BASED DEVICE" screen in the beginning. I was wondering if anyone would know how to get the tap screen up and running again. I flashed the whole ROM, I upgraded the radio, & installed WM black Satin. But its stuck at that tap the screen ****, and my tap screen still doesnt work.. Anyone have any solutions? Maybe Downgrade to WM5 would work? anything I could try would be great.
Respond ASAP if you guys can, this is my only phone, and need it to make calls. Thanks

If a reflash of rom doen't help then I'm guessing you need to send it in for service. Don't think any other software will do any good at all.

temp solution at least
put a blank file called "welcome.not" in the root of your storage card. In this way the whole thing gets passed by when you hard reset or flash new ROM.
you may later try to align screen using buttons or I can make you a cab for that.
cheers,
dan

Hey Dan1967 I would appreciate it if you could make me a cab for the alignment. I had tried that without the cab file, but your right, I doesnt work without a mod. Also, where exactly would I drop the welcome.not filel for this all to work?

it is written in my message where to put the file...
do that and if you can not realign by buttons than your touch is indeed useless, but the device may still used with some reduced functionality

Try this link. Im 100% sure you can bypass the screen alignment.

oops i posted a wrong link.
Try this one instead.

where is my storage device located. R u referring to my microSD chip?

does anyone here think it could possibly be the touch.dll.. maybe when the dude upgraded to WM6 the touch.dll file got corrupted. Any info on this could help. And if someone does thinks this happened. How would I go about reinstalling the touch.dll

thanks for the link .. i was stuck with having my iPaq hard reset & my touchscreen not working .. this helped..

My touch screen goes white
Hi there, does anyone know why my screen on my tytn goes all white sometimes - i have to put it in and out of sleep to get it going again?

sgh i780 screen can't align pls help

i make hard reset to my fhone,then i can't align my screen,i align my screen many times.nothing happen.

i have the same problem

so,what hapen to you fhone now? my fhone still under waranty,and i send to fmg service centre and they said maybe touch panel problem,did you fix you fhone ready?

Screen Align problem
Me too having the same problem after hard reset

I think its a problem with the latest wm6.1 roms.
Align must be a bit "off" to work...although I havent found a pattern yet...

Download PHM RegEdit, install and create/modify this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="501,489 781,231 778,770 232,759 232,225"
These should work quite OK

You guys walking around one main problem.
Touchsreen of your phone appears to be broken, when allign test is not passed its becames by fault of touchscreen. Doesnt matter what firmware do you use. Its just warrancy repair, if you have it. Mostly is replacing of touchscreen.
Donst listen to advises to pass this test is hardware fault.

hi, "welcome.not" worked for my samsung sgh-i780 very good.
I could start my phone without any alignment, but i'm sure, that in near future i will need to change touch screen.

Thanks for this tip. Now I can use my phone till the touchscreen is replaced/repaired.

Yeap "welcome.not" worked for me. i connect the device with windows device center since i am using windows 7 . then i naviagte to the root folder of the phone and put a blank welcome.not file and reboot it starts with out asking the align screen and now my phone is working fine. no need of the touch since i have a full qwerty key and a senser mouse. thank you so much.

No way, it must work. It shouln't have 2 extensions 4 example : welcome.not.txt or similar. It should be just WELCOME.NOT.
@au22ru
It's not necessary to copying to root AND root of sd, it could be one root, but i preffer to have this file on sd, because after flash root of internal memory is deleted.
@yonylove
check the attachment. Unzip and copy to your sd.

hi heineken,
This thread started 2 years ago, but is still relevant for people like me..
My i780 also have TS problem.. at first, it started small only. Align Screen takes about 5x before it aligns, works for awhile, then misalign again. Then I Align again, maybe takes 10x now, work for a while, then not work again. I even re-Flashed ROM.
Now, I try to align it I must have tried tapping crosshairs 100x already, wont get aligned. And I cant quit the Alignment screen so I take out the battery to power off then on again.
From what I understand,
#1.. TS is now broken, Hardware (Screen) problem? no other fix, as you say above?
#2.. This "Welcome.not" solution at first gave me hope.. I thought there is simple fix, until I understand it now.. I think now if I REFLASH Rom, the phone will first ask you to Align Screen and since i cant, Ill be stuck there forever, right? Even if I take out the battery?
Therefore as long as my TS is broken, I SHOULD NOT REFLASH or I will be stuck? Am I right? And if I do get stuck then the solution is "Welcome.Not". (At least there's a way out) Did I get it?
I can still use mouse and keyboard, but Im not happy because I have lots of apps that use TS. Like GPS software when Im driving, as well as many games. It even makes swiping or reading sms hard with defective TS.
Fortinately, I think I may have a solution for me.
I still have that old bricked i780 (dead) somewhere. I bought a replacement and this one Im using now has the defective TS. (Maybe because I buy it 2nd hand.. although it was working fine the first few months)
QUESTION: Can I take the dead i780 to a celphone technician and ask him to replace the TS panel on my current one? That should work, yes? Problem is many celphone technicians are not familiar with the i780 model, but they work with a lot of Touchscreen phones. This should be easy for them to do and it should work, yes? (unless it is a chip issue or something more technical)
The reason Im asking for advice is I want to be careful now who I allow to open up my phone and mess with it. I suspect the last time maybe my 1st phone could still be revived properly but I showed it to many technicians maybe along the way someone permanently killed it.
Thanks for any advice!

newb needs help

Hello! I have had my Tilt 2 for a couple weeks now and I love the thing. I want to put a ROM on the guy but i'm running into problems. Couple questions for this. if there is another thread, pls reply the links if u would be so kind
1. Since my drive on my computer won't work, I can't install Activesync 4.5 and when I tried to get it from windows directly, an error message said that it doesn't work with vista. Is there something I can do to get it so i can try to tweak my phone a bit?
2. I was also wondering if there was anything I can do without syncing my phone to my comp and without a rom. Like changing the color of the clock for instance. or jus putting the youtube app on the damn slider bar.
3. I'm pretty tired of pushing the power button on my phone or sliding the screen to wake up the thing. How can i change that?
I'm sorry if u see this as a waste of time to answer but I'm still pretty new to this phone. The help will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot!!

Welcome to the forums!
1. Vista and 7 use Windows Mobile Device Center (Google it, and the first link should be the download link from Microsoft). WMDC is the new ActiveSync for the newer Windows OSes. When you get that done, you should be able to sync your phone to your PC.
2. You can change the clock by installing .cab files on your phone. You can search for different clocks in the Apps & Themes sub-forum or just search the whole XDA site.
To install cab files: download a cab file. Plug in your phone to the PC's USB port. Choose Disk Drive Mod on your phone so the PC can see your phone's storage card (only). Drag the cab file anywhere on the SD-card. Disconnect your phone. Using File Explorer on your phone, locate the cab file and press it. Follow the prompts to install. Soft-reset the phone.
3. There are different locking programs out there (such as TouchLockPro) that use the phone's sensors (Accelerometer, light, proximity) to unlock/wake the phone. You could search and check out those lock programs. But, how would you like to wake your phone, anyway?
I hope this helped you!

that helps a lot! thx! one more newb-ish question.... how do i soft reset my phone??

Turn it on/off or press the red reset button (I think the Tilt2 has it behind the battery cover).

which rom did you try to flash on it?
if you plug it into the PC does the PC load (or try to load) some USB drivers for the phone? (not activesync)

sorry, then it's really dead, i.e. either the hardware is totally broken or in the best case you need JTAG to fix it. no software based solution possible at this point

[Q] LCD and Soft keys won't light up?

I've searched all the keywords I can think of to no avail.
I just bought a T899. It powers on and I can hear the "drip" noises when I touch the screen. The LCD does not light up nor do the soft keys. I was able to boot into recovery and root through Odin3 to "cwm6-root-note2." Odin3 said successful. I've looked for a remote viewing app to try to "see" what is going on onscreen. The ones I've found must be installed on the phone before use.
Are there any apps that can be pushed to my phone number or through USB to this phone that can help me troubleshoot this problem? Or am I just looking at a new LCD? I've taken it apart and everything looks connected inside. It will ring and take calls, just no LCD or soft key lights.
I got it dirt cheap so a replacement LCD will let me still make some money reselling this, but I want to exhaust all options before I go that route.
I'm looking for either a known problem with these or a way to remotely view the screen to flash a new rom to see if that's the problem. I'm new to this phone but have flashed and rooted several other models of Samsung phones.
Thank you for reading...

the best way is to pull the battery out and reinsert it and try home button, volume down and power (download mode). if you can see something on screen the lcd is ok. if lcd ok, try to flash another rom

I was lucky to get download mode with no screen. I did flash CMW and connected to Odin. I'm guessing I'll just need to get a new LCD. I was hoping I could troubleshoot with Odin or push a remote screen view app onto the phone. I was hoping for a cheaper fix. I'll just order the new LCD I guess.
