Hi,
Maybe your alignment is out. ie your screen taps are off the mark.
Realign your screen (maybe with a hard reset like they say).
Just a thought

On a side note, I noticed a little "backdoor," if you will, when the initial Windows Mobile calibration and tutorial starts up - press the OK button and it will take you straight to the Today screen, but since the touchscreen hasn't been calibrated, it performs totally wacky when you touch the screen.
Of course, you can use the keyboard to get to the Settings panel and go to the Screen applet and recalibrate it from there.
thanks for helping but the thing is that firstly
when it says tap on the screen to setup ur windows mobile phone the screen taps do no work
secondly i press the okay button and the screen that i see in front is not my usual desktop ofcourse with the touch screen not working still
thridly i donnot seem to find the settings and all the rest on the screen because the widows is not setup on the xda :S

do a HARD RESET... push the little buttons on the keyboard that are dashes. They are to the left and right of the send and end call buttons. While holding those down reset the device.
So to repeat... DO A HARD RESET> am i missing something?

Hi,
I am facing a problem where, I am unable to save changes to backlight settings.
I went into start-->system-->power and under that advanced tab.
The option where it says turn backlight off after 10 sec.
I changed it to 1 min. It saved the option.
However once the phone restarts, it reverts back to the same 10 sec.
Just to give you head up, I installed advance configuration tool.
i thought it might be something in the registry.
i looked into the registry, found the setting, changed it to 60 sec.
I thought i achieved success....
but... after the soft reset, was back to the same old thing.
Anyone faced a similar problem before.
Its device lock. When you lock your device using device lock it resets your backlight to 10 seconds.
Try changing
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:00000003
or look at this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269743
I haven't looked into the above solution, but I just wanted to say that I also have the problem of my backlight setting changing back to 10 seconds after soft resetting. I never lock my phone and it still does it, so I don't know if locking the device has anything to do it.
Some things I've noticed are that it always goes back to the default 10 seconds if I soft reset by turning the power off and on using the button on top, but it usually doesn't if I soft reset via HD Tweak's Soft Reset or by pressing the red button in the back...
It's been going on for so long that I go straight to backlight settings to change it back without even thinking about it anymore...
When I boot up after reset or power off, the homescreen displays top task bar, bottom soft keys, and displays "launching TouchFlo3D..." and then... nothing. The screen stays like this until I tap it, and then it displays the home screen. Anybody else seeing this?
Even when just switching it on from a while on standby, I get a black screen.
I press the home or start buttons, and the home screen comes on ...... when it feels like it
I have never got no one to answer a question on here good luck...

Does touching the screen make it start?
I know that not turning off TF3D before installing some cabs can make it behave oddly- TF3D restarts, fails to launch at boot, etc...
Mine does the same thing except its just a plain screen until I touch it then it says launching tflo
Might have something to do with locking the device with a PIN/password. Try to disable that and see if many of your problems go away (switching to home screen on coming out of sleep or turning the screen on when in call and taking the phone away from the ear etc).

It has something to do with the PIN lock code, you're right.. now we just need someone to look into this further who knows how to troubleshoot these issues from the back-end.
Bump for more answers!

so i've tried checking on/off Today/Item/TF3D, tried Flight Mode, and it still won't work. i'm talking like only 30-50% of the time it does work. and I never had PIN1 enabled!
i'm no programmer but it is conflicting with apps we install because TF3D works perfectly when the phone was fresh or hard-resetted. btw i'm using 6.1 Stock T-mobile
I'm running the latest nfsfan 6.5 rom
I'm not talking about S2U2, I'm talking about what everybody with 6.5 seems to have when they turn their phone screen on. A lock slider near the top of the screen located in the center that you can slide either right or left to unlock.
I've looked around my setting but see no mention of it so I'm using S2U2 in the meantime.
Start button, then "Lock" at the bottom of the screen?

start>setting>system>lock> put any kinda lock you want.. >lock in 0 min.> ok> turn off screen> turn it on
You could also try csdevctrl. It locks the phone when after the device has waken up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451
You can also hold down the end key which will bring up a quick menu.
My friend installed 6.5 and his lock screen pops up everytime he turn the screen on. He said it was a very basic instal, no extra cabs or customization.
When I do
start>setting>system>lock> put any kinda lock you want.. >lock in 0 min.> ok> turn off screen> turn it on

it forces me to put in a password. That is not what i want and it's time consuming.
Start > Lock - works but i wish it would just require a slide whenever i turn the screen on
wtf
the way i use it is to hold the End button and automatically locks the screen, that is the best way i have found to use it without having to input a password to unlock, plus i dislike to have 3rd party software to do stuff that the OS should be capable of doing in first place.

Download the WWE-Chobit Company SmartLock 1.7E.cab and install. This will show up in your settings and give you some check boxes that will make life easy.
I tired Cho's app, it messed up my touch keypad.
Had to remove to be able to type letters instead of symbols.
No joy here.

How to activate slide to unlock in winmo 6.5
You can have the screen lock and unlock it with or without a password. Having it with a password lets the phone lock automatically after a specified amount of time. Conversely, without a password you must lock it manually to display the lock screen with only slide to unlock to access the phone.
Just try de-selecting the "Prompt if unused for" box in the lock screen settings:
Step 1: Start menu/settings/lock [Then clear the checkbox]
The password "type" grays out and the "password" and "confirm" boxes clear. Hit OK and it will allow you to unlock without a password by sliding to unlock. The only thing missing is automatically locking after a certain period of time; so you have to manually lock each time by pressing Start, and the Left soft-key at the bottom of the screen (Lock).
You can also change your power settings to make this process a little more automatic. You can have the screen turn off automatically without having to press the power button after you do the start/lock maneuver.
Once you manually lock the phone, the screen will then turn off automatically. The next time you're ready to use the phone; press the power button-screen turns on-slide to unlock. Or if you get a call, you get the winmo 6.5 slide to answer screen (by changing the power setting this way, the phone doesn't power off, it goes into standby.
(This way you don't have to install anything, have conflicts with the ROM, and can prevent premature hardware button failure)
Step 2: Start/settings/system/power [Advanced tab: under "On battery power" select checkbox-turn off device if not used for and choose shortest time interval]
It won't turn off the phone, it'll just turn off the screen after the time you specify and you don't have to worry about accidental dials or button presses. Turn off backlight just dims the screen.
No need to press the power button to turn off the screen (changing the power settings makes it automatic), so once it's locked you can put it right in your pocket. When you're ready to use the phone again, press power and slide to unlock.
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Buttons -> "End Key" Tab -> Select "Automatically execute the selected action:" -> Select "Lock device" -> OK
Hold the "End" button to lock device.

Lots of solutions to one problem that should not have occured in the first place. Why didn't you copy the iPhone/S2U2's behavior, MS?
Alreading mentioned here but install CSDevCtrl and in its settings
check box "lock when device wakes"
Hi,
I have a problem with my lock screen. If I lock my GS using the power button, the slide to lock screen comes up upon pressing the power button again.. fine no problem there.
But, if I let the screen timeout and the press the power button to bring the phone outta standby. There is no lock screen. I am brought straight to the home screen.
I cannot see, or have never come across and option to enable this. I had a look around the Q&A GS forms also. Anyone have any ideas?
(hope it's not something ridiculously simple I've missed)
what is selected in automatically lock? if there is for example 1 minute, and you turn your device in this minute on then there is no lockscreen, but after this minute the lockscreen is back
Ok I've played around with security settings and tried to find the "automatically lock" option. I seems this was not visible until I selected "pattern Unlock".
I set it to 30min at some stage and seem to have forgot about it.
When I set it back to "Immediately", the problem was solved.
Thanks for the reply, gave me a push in the direction I needed to go in.
