Hi ... has anyone experienced the following - my screen in not perfectly aligned ... I mean I have a 0,5mm black line at the whole right side of my phone, which is not covered from the wallpaper or menu etc.
I tried the align screen option in SETTINGS\System\Screen ... but after several tapping exercises it didn`t change anything ! I don`t know if it has something to do with the registry, but the alignment is not working at all ... is it just for tapping, or does it help to move the screen a little bit to the right ?
Can someone help ? Thank you in advanced !
It's just for tapping.
Your phone might be defective. I suggest you contact your reseller or HTC. This assuming you didn't install anything that may be causing this problem.
Just in case, you should perform a hard reset and see if it solves it. If not, you may need to change your unit.
Any known application that could cause the screen problem I have ?
I`ve installed so many things on my phone and I`m not sure if the phone was that way when I bought it ...

Surely you must have noticed??? Only one way to find out, do a hard reset. It will make your phone revert to the factory condition.

Hi,
Does anyone know why my screen just suddenly goes white?
It started when i heard someone called me. I looked at the screen and it was totally white. Pressing buttons didn't do anything. I tried soft + hard reset but the fone was still like that.
Has anyone got this problem before?

i haven't had the problem but it would be helpful if we knew what kind of a phone and rom you have
my fone is cingular 8525, and I have no idea what kinda rom I have. I only unlocked it with the software available here, and still haven't had time to play with other stuff yet.
oh, and i don't think the front buttons work, btw, so when i said i hard reseted it, i was wrong.
it also seems like this problem:

Don't you think? Now I'll have to buy some tools to open this baby up. Does anyone know where I can get the right tools?
It's always best to start at the beginning. Go HERE to a page that I created for new members that has links to EVERYTHING you may need to know about fixing your phone, flashing ROMS and Radios, etc.
Best wishes,
I just fixed it i just fixed it ). I don't think the light sensor for the keyboard work anymore thou, but screw that, the phone works ).

Hello everyone:
I've found a failure on my blackstone's g-sensor.
I noticed it wasn't working playing Teeter.
I tried to configure with the tool provided in the ROM but une of the bubles (horizontal) always goes back to the right side.
Tried hard reset, but still got the problem.
Is there something like a driver that I could reinstall, or should I send it directy to HTC??
Thanks in advance
If HARD reset doesn't work, I would suggest sending it back for repair.

Yes, HARD reset didn't work.
The SOFT reset was the first thing I tried...
¿Wouldn't be possible to reinstall the software that uses the g-sensor?
The hard reset restores your phone to the state it was out of the factory. No additional software to the preinstalled stuff is required for the G-sensor to work. If immediately after a hard reset the G-sensor still does not work, it's 99% a hardware problem. The reason why hard reset is suggested is to make sure that other software possibly disturbing what does not work (the G-sensor software in this case) are removed, but, again, out of the box the phone already has the software and drivers needed for each part of it to work.
By the way, the calibration error is a clear signal of the problem.
Well my friends...
The g-sensor failure issue has been solved without HTC's help...
Maybe using the Advanced Config tool, I changed the Gsensor value (don't know how to translate it, in spanish "Intervalo de muestreo del acelerómetro").
I set it in 200. Today, as my last attempt to solve it, I changed it again, to 150, and... et voila!!! It works!!!
The strangest thing is that I made several soft reset, even one hard reset (yes, a hard reset, I know how to do a hard reset), but it didn't worked.
It seems that some changes we make with this configuration tools, stay the way we set them, even if we make a hard reset... Is this possible?

Definitely, I've found the 1% that always bothers us in computers...
I still tend to think that your sensor was "stuck" for some reason and after a bit of moving and shaking the device with normal use it got "unstuck". The stock settings are always correct for basic hardware features, and are the same for all users.

Maybe you're right.
In fact, I've changed back the value back to 200 (ms.), and it still works...
But it didn't get unstuck by the normal use... I tried it several times. It happened only when I changed that value.

By doing a hard reset this value should be reset to default, so if you really did a hard reset, it probably wasn't a software issue at all.
I don't have any explanation. Maybe it was just a case that it got unstuck in that moment, maybe not, and changing the setting caused something in a microchip of the G sensor work again... No ideas.

Yes, a hard reset, switching on the PDA while keeping volume down pushed, as the user guide says...

Hi,
I m facing the same problem as you described, my horizontal tube is stuck on the left side.
I tryed to change the polling interval setting without effect.
I discovered a weird (from my point of view) inside the registry. The calibrate2-? is set set at a very hight value (only 1 in binary).
Changing it by a registry editor doesn't work, it goes back to the weird value when i restart the device.
Can you tell me if you had such values when you experienced the problem ?
Thank you
Hi again,
You know what ? i m happy
It was a pure physical problem. I give on my touch hd a little pinch on the left side and it unstuck the problem.
Everyone must know that it can happen. No change inside the registry is needed. You just have to shake a bit your hd to make it work again (if you break it i m not responsible )

I had this problem after I traveled in a bus on a bumpy road with HD in my pocket - No pressure fall or anything. I am surprised to see so many had his problem. Hard Reset was no use. I shook my HD vigorously and this solved it. I was worried if this baby gets a Shaken baby syndrome by the shake
Lol! You remind me of my car stand. Each time I am on my car with the HD on its stand, and I bump into a hole on the road, the screen rotates for a short while (due to the G-sensor). This is annoying, but funny... I think I will add TomTom to the exceptions list.

Had the exact same problem, sensor was stuck on the left. I was about to retire the HD and go back to my rhodium when found this post.
Pinching didn't work but a minute of VIGOROUS shaking did the trick! Still looking for my stylus which flew out ... be careful when trying this at home children
Yay, my HD lives!

It sounds like the less Advanced tool also does the trick - just give it a vigorous shake
After I installed new rom on my blackstone a new problem came out...
Time to time something hapens to my touch screen. It gets very very imprecise. For example, when I'm writing a SMS message I press the "V" button but then "G" is written on the screen... But this doesn't happen just when I'm writing a SMS but it happens no matter what I'm doing with the phone... Everything seems to be "shifted"/moved for about 1 centimetre upwards.
I made a hard reset and reinstalled rom but nothing didn't helped...
But it's funny because this isn't happening all the time but just time to time. Then I recalibrate the screen (voUp and voDO + tap the screen) and it helps for a few moments and than the same problem again. Then I'm doing the recalibration procedure till this problem vanish...
What is the problem, how can I solve it???
Please help because it is really annoying...
Hi,
May be that the change of Rom is only a coincidence?
It is not excluded that the touch screen of your blackstone can be a little damaged.
I have a pda that sometimes have the same problem, but I not updated any Rom to it.
Simply I stressed his touch screen with some abnormal pressure (I think).
thanks for reply...
It's funny because it works fine all day but suddenly you need to write a SMS or just answer the call, but that is not possible.
Well the screen might been damaged but it's weird because when I start calibrating the screen I tap the cross and it's not moved...
What can I do?
Same problem
I have same problem and I didn't make any ROM update. I didn't install any new software, but suddenly my screen started to be unaccurate and shifted somehow. calibration helps but after while it's shifted again. I was thinking about updating ROM, but if this is not a solution, then I don't want to ...
Well I send my phone to repair. They said that it was a mechanical issue so I think you should send it also due it looks like this is the only way to solve this problem. I hope you still have your phone under guarantee...
Oh and make sure whether you need original ROM or you may use the changed one, because in Slovenia you need stock ROM and no programs installed (like Garmin etc.). So the best think to do is to hard reset the phone and then send it to repair, so you don't have any problems...
Hello you all
I've got a strange problem with my HDmini :
Sometimes, the screen stops responding !
I can touch any button, the screen in any place, nothing happens.
I only have to remove the battery ( because thre is no reset ).
After strated again, when PIN code is asked, if a tap on "3" for exemple, it is like if i have tapped on "6" ; if i tap on "erase", i see "cancel" highlighted !
And after a few minutes, everything becomes normal again.
An idea ?
Did you install any cab or custom settings?
Yes, i'm using throttlelauncher with WP7 theme but when the screen is stuck, i have two choices :
Remove the battery to start again, without throttlelauncher started .
Restart the HTC with Mymobiler if the HDmini is connected.
At the end, the problem stays on.
I only have to wait for some time and then the touchscreen works again... by itself !
I haven't tried Throttlelauncher yet. I don't know if that can be the possible culprit.
Bart3385
For example, yesterday and today everything was OK and 5 minutes ago, the screen has stuck again !
Nothing possible to do on the screen neither with the 5 keys at the bottom !
I have to connect the HDmini to the PC and reboot it with my mobiler;
then i can use the screen interface.
It seems that the problem is the touch screen !

Try to ask for a new device (if it's still under warranty )

Maybe your device is blocking so hard that your keys and screen both don't work anymore. I have had that too once Maybe Trottle causes this?
Madmatt
The problem is to be sure that a software is the problem origin; before i ask for the PDA to be replaced by my operator.
Try to do hard reset. Install only the basic stuff. (Minus Throttlelauncher.) See if the phone goes back to normal.

That's a possible option.
Somehow, i'm not allowed to make that kind of suggestion anymore. Someone keeps on following me and make a mockery whenever i mention anything like that.
Anyway, try to check software problem first. As i first did on my own device. Before i've ascertained it is defective hardware.

It is normal, sometimes, it doesn't respond, lame htc hd mini. I have this problem long ago.
Thank's for your suggestions.
Today, the phone is completly stuck.
That's why i don't think it is a software problem.
I can' even entry the PIN code.
i've tried a Hard reset, to flash back to Original Rom = nothing more.
So i've asked Orange for an exchange under garanty...
That's a good move.
In some areas, a high percentage of units need replacement.
hello,
Sudently my touch screen stop working?
I'd read lots of topics about it but i beleived mine is different?
I was under android when it occur.
My touch screen stop working except a small area in the middle of the screen.
It's look like the calibration was done for this small part of the screen.
I've tried to do a reset => same thing
I've re-install the ROM => the touch screen works for a couple of minutes and then stop except the same small part ???
If i reboot it direcly goes to the small part.
I flash a Signed Ship Rom from my provider it's do the same things? work a couple of minutes on the first boot, and after only the small area ...
if someone got an idea ?
thanks
(sorry for bad english)
I have the same problem, and I did the same tests.
Actually it's not soft problem. It's hardware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970703
You can workarround by hard pressing in circles over the red button.
It seems that the digitalizer is under that button.
I have test this workarround and works for me.
anyway if you hd2 is in garantee, send it to HTC.
this is in the wrong section, this is a Q&A not a dev post, please post in the correct section next time
sounds like a fault on the handset which needs to go back to htc to fix

If it's a hardware problem, how do you explain it work fine when instaling a new rom ?
every times it does the same!
First boot work fine for a couple of minutes and block after ! the next boot direcly have the problem.
It's look like a wrong calibration/setup of the digitalizer!!!
? i've done a task 29 . trying to erase parameters that may be setup somewhere in memory.
but still the same !
I don't know how to use MTTY? it's seens to be more powerfull (destructive ) than the task 29 ?
can it be the solution?
I actually had the same thing happen to me... mine was still under warranty so i flashed the original program back to the phone and had them send me a different one... talk about a moment of panic
