Hello
I've just got my hands on a Samsung Omnia Windows Phone 7.
When I press the Camera button / icon a black screen loads with the camera settings such as zoom, settings icon, video etc but the screen stays black for about 15 seconds then goes back to the main menu.
Is this a common bug? I've tried to search but didn't have much luck.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks!
hi,
I would suggest phone restart, if it does not help hard reset, if that does not help than send it back and ask for repair or maybe new phone.. I dont have this problem with my omnia 7.. Or maybe flash new firmware? But i think its too risky if you still have warranty..

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?

i did a hard reset but still does not work
i did a hard reset then a screen appears after a i press 0 that says Tap here to setup your windows mobile phone. But when i tap on it nothign happens :S
Faulty screen?
i had same problem, just had to many hard resets, also take the battery out for an hour or two
I just resurected my xda IIs from the grave and upon start I come to the Align screen stage. I follow the directions as usual but it just keeps asking for the taps over and over and over. It never passes the same five steps. I've tried different ROMs but they all stop there. Could it be caused by the little internal battery being dead? Is my digitizer crap? Is it martians? Are the forces of evil combining against me? Am I doomed?
I'd like to see this old guy work again.
Thanks for any tips in advance.

hard rest then hold the 2 buttons next to the volume slider only and press the rest button on the bottom using the stylus.this should take you to the 4 color screen with 3 options to be set
1st one leave as NO just press the top button
2nd option as yes by pressing the bottom button then press the top button to goto the 3rd
3rd option change to yes again by pressing the bottom button
then press the message button on the front that looks like an postal letter
this wil reset the options saved kind of like resetting a pc bios to manufacture defaults .
then try again to do the alignment.
I had similar when I flashed pdaviets rom to my blue angel and that resolved it
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I broke me screen tinkering with it so I'm not able to test your idea.
I started with two LCDs one with a bad digitizer and one with a broken screen. I touch the digitizer off the one a replaced the other so that I had a working screen but then I had the problem listed above. Before I saw your response I thought I might have some dirt or something under the screen causing it to not work so I took it apart but I guess I was just a little too rough this time and cracked the LCD
I'll have to find a new LCD if I plan to resurrect this phone.
Thanks anyways for the help
stuck in 4 color screen

I´ve tried everything with my XDA III PH20B1 - no camera model -, but I never get the 3 options screen. Just the 4 colors and bottom right the radio version R 1.10.00.
Is there any other way how to make my O2 XDA III boot after the WM6.1 upgrade ( from 2003se) ?
I have the same problem (I have already reply in another thread...), I am still trying to fix it. I suspect from the backup battery, since before I hard reset my SX66 all programs lost their configuration when I turn off and on again my SX66, and when I tried to realign the screen the align cycle repeated forever. Then I tried hard resetting, reflashing to various OS's and I can not pass the initial calibration screen.
Please keep me posted if someone have found the way to solve it.
Thanks !
no need to upgrade or delete anything from bios,this is not a cause of motherboard and software.I removed the motherboard and essembled in a working screen phone.there is no problem all ok,its not a problem with backup battery too.Then i changed working phone motherboard to cant align phone but same as before it dsnt align.Therefore in my investigation its a problem with the touch or screen.
its not a problem with screen cover too.
If any knows the exact solution for align problem screen ,please post it.
eway - press the power/stand by and leave for 15-30secs
then pen reset, press [cam] + [rec] as the 4 colour screen comes on and change 2/3 - as previously stated countless times - press [mail] to reset - this will reboot your new rom.
touch flo user manual is a little allusive
but, soo much too test, soo little time

How to bypass Align Screen?
If you have flashed a proper rom/ hard reset your device, there could be some dust on display which won't let the align screen pass. This is a real annoying feature on WM platform. But guess there are always ways to bypass software related issues.
The display can be cleaned by patting a small amount of water on it, and then running the water along with a visiting card on the edges of the screen. This will take off all the dust on the sides, and will let you pass the align screen easily. You can simply wipe the display propely with a glass cleaner.
If this doesn't help then :
When your phone says align screen, connect the phone with computer and get it detected in Active Sync. Next, you could be able to access Tree/Files on your phone. If you are able to do so, then go to startup and delete files directing to Align Screen, if I remb it was "welcome" something. Delete the file, and there won't be any align screen.
or
You can always go for an easier method. Download Code Factory's Remore Screen Alignment (http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=108). And simply enjoy.
In both of the case, active connection with Active Sync is important. If you are unable to connect your phone, then I believe there ain't any way other than changing the display.
Hope it helps.

O2 Flame
Hello everybody,
I've got a serious problem with my 2 years old O2 Flame: sometimes, when I reboot my pda, I can't realign the screen. And when I can do it, after a while, the left of the screen doesn't respond, or, when I click on it, it's another part of the screen that answers! I flashed the bios already: nothing changed.
@Gerd
Did you try Remote Screen Alignment?
Sonny
wow, that tool is awesome. My digitizer is cracked.

This is for HTC Wizard, but it should work.
Hi,
my XDA Orbit have the screen off.
I can activesync the PC, and I can flash the engine.
Now I have the original OS from O2 but the screen is off.
I suppose that the screen is not broken because sometimes is on (yesterday the screen show the HTC logo screen) but it doesn´t work.
I can access to bootloader mode too but I can´t see something on the screen, I don´t see the three colors on the screen, it is black and it don´t work.
When I power on the Orbit it syncs with the PC but the screen continues black.
I made soft reset and hard reset but it didn´t make something. I flashed it with others OS but nothing.
I don´t know what can I do.
help me, please
thank you
I had an issue like that waaaay back. Though mine was to do with the baclight settings, I just tried to navigate to backlight settings while out in the sun.
This doesnt seem to be your problem though as you say you have actually managed to flash new ROM to it?
will it be a software or/and a hardware problem?
thanks
Probably hardware as you say you have flashed new ROMs to it and still it shows nothing,
Hi - Can someone please help me! I have tried to do the hard reset using the three buttons and its not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The Touch Flo 3-D is stuffed and because touching the screen wont work I cant disable it grrrrr. You can't press any buttons on the screen.
There is a limited amount that you can do with the physical keyboard (up down keys etc) but not enough to enable hard reset.
Have managed to get to the Clear Storage page - but as the Touch Flo isn't working - we cant get the Yes to work to finalise the hard reset
We can't get to Today screen to turn Touch Flo 3-D off either.
I can copy files across using ActiveSync to the phone - but am unable to execute anything as no ability to touch the screen (and the TP2 is missing the two physical buttons that the Tytn II had - god I am missing them sorely now).
Does anyone have any suggestions please - I am desperate for help. I Can't do much at all..
Thanks Kelly
Thanks
if you have a Verizon TP2 its a different set of buttons. Search for hard reset Verizon & it should help you (if that's the phone you have)
Also, make sure that the phone is completely off when you try to press all of the buttons.
Thanksssssssssssssss
XNIFEX - you a complete genius.. that was the missing link.. In the end I had to take battery out whilst turned on to turn it off.. then pressed all three buttons and hard reset is in progress.
On the down side I have lost everything on the phone due to TOuchFLo failure.. I think I might disable it upfront from now on.
Thanks again!!
Oops spoke too soon
Hi, I spoke too soon.. The hard reset worked.. but alas the screen is still not recognising touch. So I am back to square 1. Time for a warranty claim I guess.
Also I have a Telstra TP2 as I am in Australia. Thanks again.
If you have warranty use it!
The you can customize
MY touchscreen has become unresponsive. I cannot press anywhere on the screen, the button on the keyboard still work though.
Had this problem earlier but restarting the phone (removing battery for a few min) would solve it. Now this solution doesnt work.
Any ideas on how to fix this ? My model is not sold in my country so cant repair it from service centre here.
Have you tried recalibrating the screen? How about flashing a different ROM?
