Stuck on Align screen (tapping works)

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

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.

Desire broken?

Hi,
The screen of my Desire was broken. It goes on, but the screen stays black with a little green line on top of the screen.
So I thought to check the used LCD and order a new LCD and fix my Desire. I used some tutorials to disassemble the device. After reading the LCD part, I reassemble the phone to check if his working. The screen goes on like before, but the vibration after pushing the power button doesn't work. When I connect the device to my Windows PC the charge led goes on and Windows sees a device. I can't come on the SD card and HTC Sync doesn't see a device. Probably this comes because normal in the interface I must check the UMS option before the SD card comes in Windows.
How can I check my device is working so I can to order a new LCD. I'm afraid to order a new LCD, but the phone is already dead en so the money is wasted.
Kind regard.

are you sure you connect vibration motor correctly, it has two tiny contacts, they neeed to sit properly on motherboard, try to take out bottom part and check it

Can you say where that vibration part is located? I've uses this websites for the steps:

May be there is another way to connect the device to check it's working properly. The problem with USB is that 'charge only' the default is.

see pictures attached...
did you tick ASK ME in settings/connect to pc?
another way to check UMS- boot to recovery and try it there and you can test keys there but you need to borrow screen again

thanks. I can't see anything wrong with the vibration item. It looks there are no flat cable or contact that got loose.
I was running ICS Aplha / beta custom rom for two days. I think that like all other ROM's the user must tick the USB option to see the SD card device in Windows. At the moment Windows sees an android device, but nothing more that that.
Problem is that the screen is completly black. So thicking USB option or recovery mode is no option, I can't see anything.

it has tiny legs on the back of motor... i stretch them a bit
you can boot into recovery and do it blind but you need to know your recovery layout (some video or screenshot of you recovery will help) to toggle usb storage in recovery
to boot in recovery is easy vol down + power wait about 30 sec vol down then power and wait for recovery to boot, then follow you recovery layout

great, i'm in the recovery and with this image I've set the phone into USB-MS mode
After that I can see the phone and SD content in Windows. Is this enough evidence to get confidence for ordering a new LCD screen?
The vibration device looks ok. I can't see any connector or flat cable that can be get loose.

if usb working and you can live without vibrating phone go ahead... I bought new screen just under £25

if you cant access your hboot menu or phone isnt started.nothing we can do.atleast hboot menu should be working for root and flashing firmwares.
go to service center might they ll help you. possibility its just problem of you LCD,not firmware.

Nexus 7 rotation stuck

Hi all, my Nexus has an issue with the rotation of the screen. I've done some googling and downloaded the check my android app. The sensors missing are 1, 3 and 5. I have tried the following:
1. Factory reset the device
2. Attempted the pressure press on the 'n' and 's'
3. Opened the tablet and tried the tape and cardboard fix
4. Reseated the cable that I understand controls the orientation
I've done extensive research on the problem but no luck.
None of these options worked. I have contacted Asus but I'm pretty sure my warranty is up. How can I fix this please?

Hi,
Temporary solution for me: reboot in safe mode and test if orientation sensor works. If it does, reboot again in normal mode and you'll be fine ... But only for some time, as in a day or two rotation failed again.
To boot into safe mode, long press power button until power off message appears on screen, then long press button on screen until boot to safe mode button appears.
Hope it helps!

My n7 does that as well,
Truthfully All I do to fix it is (yes restart but that is annoying), just rotate it to where you want it, and give it a firm, but soft tap along the side of the device.
I found it wakes up the sensors and allows them to operate again
Hope this helps

Hi. It's a fairly common issue with our Nexus7.
My rotation sometimes get stuck also, so i installed an app called "Adaptive Rotation Lock" and problem solved.

So I've tried the safe mode, no good. I also tried the soft tap, no good. Even using adaptive rotation lock does not work. I'm thinking this is a hardware issue. l will have to call ASUS as the email support was complete ****. Thanks for the help all the same.

Assuming you do not have the rotation lock setting enabled I think I have a solution for you.
I had this same issue and I literally tried for 3 months trying to fix it. I finally found some obscure website with a fix. It involved opening up your tablet and basically "securing" one of the cables. After I did that I have not had a rotation problem anymore.
http://blog.daum.net/enue81/2

I seen that in my travels and tried to implement the same fixes, as it is in Chinese or something similar I tried to interpret what he did.
I used black electrical tape to secure the cable ends, then used a similar tape to secure the cable down, unfortunately that didn't work but there's every chance I did it wrong.
Can you please explain what you used?
I've also tried following these two youtube videos:

I didn't use anything. I just basically "pushed" the cables in more even though they did not appear to be loose or anything. It definitely did the trick. YMMV though.

Anyway to disable Sharkspace?

So im having issues with my blackshark randomly turning on sharkspace even thought the switch is off and wont go back to normal mode if i flip the switch
is there anyway i can turn it off permanently? and does applying custom rom can render the sharkspace useless?

I AM in the same thing. I Buy it on march 2021 and now on january 2022 it happens to me.

The other day I was using the magnetic charger on my BS3 and when the connector was near the shark switch the launcher pooped itself for a second. So it's possible that the magnet that enable the launcher it's loose in your device. Try using a little magnet to see if that fix the problem

I'll buy the magnet, try it at home and tell you. one thing, can you try something? Can you activate your Shark space, then go to settings without closing it and check on the home screen option if it is set as the default launcher? I want to know if when activating the Shark Space it becomes like a launcher.

I can not believe it. I simply brought the magnet close to the button. I had accidentally entered Clash royale to open a chest and when I hit exit the game I was already on the normal home screen, the system asked me what screen I wanted and I put the one on it. then I entered to assign the default launcher and it already allowed me to put the system launcher. Bringing the magnet closer to the button worked!

Thank you so much for sharing. It worked on my phone today.

There is a manual override for that instance, sharkspace won't turn off even turning off the button. Hold the lock button, when power off popups tap and hold the power off another popup will appear and hit continue. Now, upon holding the lock button there should be another option to turn off the shark space.
