I had dropped my phone and the transcriber cracked so i can only use about 2/3s of the screen a few weeks ago.
at the same time, it was acting up and freezing over and over again so I decided to hard reset it.
now I can only hit 4 of the 5 targets and when I cant get the last one, it starts the alignment over. so I am stuck in alignment right now.
is there ANYway to get past this?
See if this works for you:
www.mymobiler.com
Also, you can cook a ROM that automatically bypasses the alignment screen using PPCKitchen. Or some pre-cooked ROMs (I remember DCDs especially) didn't ask you to align.
When its at the align screen you can plug it into computer and connect with active sync. Delete the Welcome shortcut from Windows/startup and soft reset. That should skip the alignment. Sorry to hear about the phone. I have a couple moguls if interested PM me about it.
neither of those suggestions work... the mobilizer is no good because you cant actually click on the desktop screen to hit the targets.
and i went to the root folder of the phone and a windows folder isnt even there. Im guessing that it didnt create a folder since the phone wasnt configured
and the dcd roms Ive had always had the screen align. so im stuck in a corner now. any other suggestions?

Ok, Ive got a new problem with my XDA Exec.
Opened it up and tryied to turn on the backlight and nothing. tried a soft reset, nothingtried a hard reset now it just sticks on the splash screen, the red writing comes up on the right and side and just hangs there forever!
Please help
You're stuck. apparently the only remedy is turning it in to repair. For most of us it is under warranty.
Just off the phone to 02. Theres sending me a new one via courier on monday. it's less than a day old.
Is this a comon fault with the Exec?
erm ... I managed to experience this problem.
I was trying to uninstall SPB GPRS thingy that comes with the O2 package, and it just wouldn't go. I ended up deleting the program files and getting an error when it started up, so I deleted the GPRSNotify file under Startup. It never worked again ...
I got the splash screen, tried soft and hard resetting and various permutations (including standing on one leg and while holding breath) ... nothing. Did try to install fresh ROM, but startup wouldn't get far enough to let PC load ROM over USB.
Ended up contacting O2 who sent me a nice shiny new one, as it was only three weeks old. This time I haven't installed GPRS monitor thingy, and I don't intend to fiddle with it again ... or at least until I've forgotten my lesson ...
Sorry i ment to give you guys an update on this. I did manage to get it working again, although i still accepted the new one the sent to me.
What i did was installed a new rom off the 02 website. at 1st the computer couldnt see the phone so wot i did was enter what i think was the programming side of the phone. i found the instructions on how to this on the net. i think i pressed the 2 soft keys and the light switch while pressing the reset switch with the stylus (i think that was the buttons but unsure as i cant find the page again) when the screen light up again there was some faint writing on the screen with the word serial or usb. Double clicked on the rom file and 30mins later my phone was revived.
Funny it was the gprs monitor that i too installed before the phone screwed up? ive since installed it again on the new phone and have had no problems with it since.

I have the 8125 and tonight i go to answer a phone call. When i got off the phone mysteriously the touch part of the screen no longer works. I tried a soft reset, a hard reset, removing the battery.... I cannot get the touch part of the screen to work. You can see whats on screen but there is no touch functionality. Anyone have any ideas?
remote screen aligment
i had the same problem the touchscreen stopped working suddently. im assuming that you can get pass the touch the screen to set up you device so what i did i downloaded a program called "remote screen aligment" that the only way you are going to be able to pass the first screen. hope this helps. google it to find the program its free.

Mine did this when I was CID-unlocking and had mismatching IPL/SPL versions. I found that by drawing a circle around the alignment cursor with the stylus I was able to get past this screen.
Not working touch screen / broken replacement ...
Center of my XDA miniS touchscreen stopped to work almost 3 weeks ago...
I sent my (lovely) PDA to O2 UK two weeks ago and today I received FAULTY replacement!
(very good known and common issue - "stylus is very loose and keeps falling out")
I've just sent another e-mail to O2's Customer Services and I'm waiting for reply...
I'm so angry and disappointed!
Regards
anyone find a solution
My touch screen gave out yesterday...I am getting very good at using my 8125 without the touch screen but a few programs require it. If anyone has found a solution please let be know because it would be a very happy man. Thanks for reading!
I noticed that my the touch screen on my wing became unresponsive..and i noticed that after a few soft resets wdp hooker ran across the title bar. I then hard reset my phone...like maybe 5-8 times so far...and it loads all the way up to the "blue/green Windowns Mobile tap the screen to set up your Windows mobile based device." It will then not allow me to tap the screen.
I have tried installing the original RUU for the phone...soft reseting, hard reseting with no change in the touch screen not working....has anyone had trouble with this? where the hell is this virus from. ..and how do we get rid of it? please help.
[email protected]
A very quick search found this. Not an answer, but it might help. I don't think it's a virus...
If you dont use myfaves, then there is a cab available which will delete myfaves from starting up. Delete MyFaves. Works like a charm. I go on days without rebooting. And I am a self confessed power user.
thanks for the advice....tried the myfaves delete cab, however my screen still remains useless...it can not be activated by touch anymore...i called tmobile so they are sending me another one...but i still want to get down to the bottom of this problem.
As far as i can guess... i would assume that your touchscreen died and you've been blaming something that has nothing to do with it.
I don't think Wdp hooker is a virus... i'm pretty confident it's related to t-mo customization, everytime i've cancelled the customization it disappeared from my phone, so you better think what happened that could have killed your touchscreen film.
Hello
i've got en elf but it is stuck at the align screen.
i searched the forum for many day's and i found out that the digitizer probably is broken.
So i bought an new one an installed it with this manual
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407323
great manual by the way
I also installed a new housing
I installed one of the new roms
But it is still stuck on the align screen$
I have a constant loop
first middle cross, then the 4 corners and then back to the middle
i installed a program to override the align screen and then the i can use the phone but when i tap the touch screen it is not the place i tapped that opens because it is not aligned
What can i do because i am all out of answers
ps there is no warrenty anymore
Greetz Hatchy
it could be the touchscreen
LCD and touchscreen are not the same
some models heve them separated,some not
as i could see elf has
touchscreen pic1
LCD pic2
so try replacing the touchscreen they are few dollars on ebay
Or if you want, you can have somebody cook a ROM for you that bypasses the screen alignment part.

i doubt it's the software,because he said he tried some roms
and bypassing screen align can make phone unuseable,so....

Yea, but even though, he can still use the phone without the touch screen before he gets it replaced.

well if it was artemis...he could (arte has a mouse pointer)
but elf lacks the buttons,so using it without touch will be tricky
Hello

When your PPC is at the alignment part of the start up process simply plug it into your computer and let activesync run. You do not need to set up a partnership at this time to do this.
Explore your PPC and go to the windows folder and then to the startup folder and delete the welcome file in there.
Soft reset your PPC and you are good to go!
I had an IPAQ for years that had a bad spot in the middle of the screen and this is the only way I have found to bypass the alignment.
I am stuck on the align screen in a loop as well. What program did you write to skip the screen. I am not able to use the phone because of that. I am really terribly stuck. Please help. Thanks.
I hear placing a blank text file named "welcome" with the extension ".not" on the root of your SD card after hard resetting will bypass the Windows Mobile setup. And until you get your screen repaired (if ever) and if you have a working DPAD, then you can download a free, configurable mouse cursor here. Just go the the third post and click on the attachment I posted.
Dave
Well,
For what it's worth,
I found out on my brother's Qtek S200 that was also in a loop, that it automatically passed the align screen after some 15 times.
Later I found this in the registry:
HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Touch\MaxCallError(=16)
So I assume you can tick the align screen 16 times before it continues?
it works!!
I have to say, I am real close to getting rid of my HD2 and going back to the basic Samsung Comeback in my drawer. I had the AT&T Tilt a few years ago and loved it but just couldn't afford the bells and whistles package that you needed to fully enjoy it. I've since switched to Tmobile and now am able to afford the full unlimited everything package to enjoy this new HTC HD2.
However, over the last few weeks, this phone has gotten increasingly worse. I installed the Cookies Home Tab only to uninstall it a few days later cause it really slowed the phone down. I also installed BSB Tweaks which also did nothing but slow the phone down as well.
So for the last three weeks or so, the phone has been ok speed wise. Upon turning the phone on, it takes almost four minutes for me to be able to open the phone and make a call. I can open the phone, select a contact and hit send, but it won't actuallyt dial for about 3-4 minutes. Very Very annoying. Now as of ten minutes ago, when I wake up the device and slide the unlock, it goes to the start menu...well sort of.. This is kinda hard to explain so I'll do my best....
Instead of the phone going to the normal HOME screen, it says START in the upper left corner and has an X in the upper right corner, however, it still displays the lock screen wallpaper and the slider to unlock is stuck either left or right (whichever way I slide it.) If I tap the X in the upper right, it brings me to the HOME screen. Now if I push the windows key or tap START, it does the same thing as when I try to unlock it only I have an unresponse HOME screen displayed. If I tap the X in the upper right, it closes the START menu that it thinks it has opened and I can use the HOME screen again. Basically now I can't use my programs!!! WTF. The only programs I have installed other than what came with it are CHT editor and Visual GPS. Sorry for the long post but I'm really frustrated here and hope someone can help. I tried SOFT reset a few times and I don't want to do hard reset because I can't back anything up right now being unable to access any programs at all. Thanks in advance.
Joe
Did a soft reset one more time. It seems to be now, that the area where the battery indicator, signal strenght and volume adjustment are, are now unresposive. Everything else works fine except that one tiny little spot of the screen. I can now access programs again. If I use Opera and rotate the screen, that top portion, which is now the side, works fine. So it has to be something related to the notification bar. Any ideas????
Joe
Backup what you want to keep and do a hard reset. I've had my HD2 since the first week of April and have been using Co0kies Home Tab since 1.7 came out without the problems you have. Start fresh and see if you have the same problems.
Try to disable Sense to see if you can access your apps so you can back up what you need.
hard reset time.
install a custom rom man, my hd2 was exactly like that and that fixed it up good!

Have a browse over at the custom ROM forum, look up how to install HSPL onto the device, pick a ROM from the many threads and flash a new one. They are far far faster, they have no unnecessary programs on them and they go like a rocket.
If you get stuck come back here and I or someone else will endevour to help you out.
I would post some links to the downloads but I am on the HD2 on an EDGE connection at the moment.
Let us know how you get on.
If you are going to flash a custom ROM, you might want to go to the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 section of the forum as you probably have a T-Mobile USA HD2. All the ROMs in that section should be compatible with your device while some in this section will brick your phone.
you dont need a costum rom to have a smooth hd2...
i've got the stock 1.48 rom..and i'm pretty happy with it..
i think a hardreset will redefine your htc-experience
and yeah: i'm running cht since 1.6 and had never such problems...

Thanks for the everyones input. I don't get online to much because I work two jobs so I just checked this thread today. The screen completely went out on me 20 minutes ago. The touch doesn't work at all. I tried soft resetting it and leaving the battery out for a while to no avail. I am going to the shore tonight and plan on checking out the ROMS when I get there tonight. Im willing to lose whatevers on the phone at this point just to get it running properly again. I'll post back with my results or if I have any questions. Thanks again to all who responded.
Joe
Ok so I got impatient and didn;t want to drive to the shore without my phone just incase there was a problem. I did a hard reset and my screen is still unresponsive. Im guessing the phone is shot???? What the heck could have caused this. The last few days when it became unresponsive I just removed and reinstalled the battery and it would work for a few hours. I figured it was software related but I guess it must be hardware related. Any ideas????
Joe
try it for a few hours WITHOUT the sd card plugged in...see how that fairs and lets us know.
I left the battery out of it all day (about 17 hours) and when I put the battery back in and turned it on I still got no response fromn the touch screen. All the buttons work though. I'm gonna take the SD card out and leave it on overnight tonight and try it in the morning. Im really upset that this phone has started to slowly fall apart on me.

What the other poster meant was to try and use your phone without the sd card in it.
If the sd card is failing then it will cause problems on the phone.
Left the SD card out of the phone with it on for over 24 hours. Still no response from the touch screen. All the buttons still work. My only guess at this point is that the Digitizer must have failed. Anyone know where I can get a OEM digitizer for a good price? It looks like ebay is around 60-70 bucks.
