I didnt actually remove the screen .. I unfolded the mainboard and inserted the replacement mic and closed it all up and now it is a reversed image it appears as if the I am inside the O2 looking out I had not removed the LCD at all from the board so it is in the correct way just not showing the correct image i will try and post a picture if you want

Mirrored Display
hello XDA community,
I have here an imate Jasjar which after a screen upgrade is displaying the image reversed. It did not begin like this,
Upon first booting up the device after screen upgrade, all was fine, screen displayed normally. About a week after this, the screen began flickering, not on/off, but instead, reversing the image shown on the screen. (a mirror) effect. I did not know what to make of this. I delt with it best I could.
A day or two after this flickering began, the screen began to remain in this reversed image mode, which I did not enjoy. The same day, I had dropped the JJ into a tub ( a pretty hard fall), but somehow, by the grace of god, the water failed to enter the inside of the Jasjar.
After the fall, I had noticed that the screen had stopped its flickring antics and remained normal for about a week and a half. It is now displaying a reversed image only.
I now am unsure of what to do, I searched throughout the XDA forums and discovered that performing a hard reset should repair this.
I suppose my main question is, is there a registry tweak I can perform to revert the displayed image back to its original state
Many thanks to all who respond.

as far as I know, both of your devices are probably dead. Back in the time I was repairing old Ipaq's the mirrow effect was epically called "The mirrow of death" and meant that the display controller (a chip) has failed.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you have many chances to bring them back. Maybe this is not your case, but anyway chances are slim.
thats actually a very interesting idea. If you can mirror them via software, you can fool the device into working again
solution ?
Any solution to this yet ?
Is anyone working on that brilliant idea of that mirroring software ?
I've been having the same problem for almost 6 months now. But for some reasons I am surviving with my O2 XDA EXEC. Now, I can hand my brick to friends without being concerned about my personal messages being read.
However, I have found something. When I charge my phone with a motorola charger, while on charger, the screen flips back to normal. So, my best bet- it is actually a tweeny weenie IC not doing what it is supposed to do.
mirror solution!

Does anyone know how to make the PDA do this, I've searched everywhere for a software solution but to no avail.
I want to add a second screen to my PDA (piggybacking on the existing screen) but with an inverted display. This way I will have a normal touchscreen display for entering data and an inverted display for HUD use.
I'm aware that when this happens as a fault it is normally due to a loose display connection causing one of the outer contact to come loose, but I'd need to know which 'wire to cut' to force this fault.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi to all,
i have this O2 XDA2 when i powered on the phone it begun to hang up then i can't press or use the PDA...even i removed the the battery and put it back always hangs...so i tried hard resseting it but after that always ALIGN SCREEN now apprears on the screen...
hope that anyone here has a solution to this problem...thanks and merry christmas
this problem is same as the problem i posted is the WALLABY section...
o2 xda2 always start with screen align
please pleasE help me
my o2 xda¡¡ always start with align screen
Happened to mine too. The touchpad was busted, you can't get past the align screen as the touchpad isn't accepting any input.
same problem here,are there some one can help?
make sure you press the + sign perfectly in middle
omg try to understant the ques.
the same prob happens to me..... the align screen appears many times to me and it wil reinstall new OS. so then it looks new ans lost all old settings & mess, contacts.
how to stop this bug?
yeap i now have the same problem, dont know what happen to my touch screen.. i can press the upper section windows bar, signal and all kind that is on top
can anyone help please?
Like it was said before, your touchscreen is busted ... in my case, i've change my lcd and touchscreen with one bought on ebay. But before to change your lcd, you can try to align your screen with your finger, not with your stylus.
Just put an empty welcome.not file in your SD card.
It should bypass the alignment screen.
If it doesn't, then do one alignment run,hit the power button, and turn it back on. It should work then.
Beware, though, that the screen will be unaligned. Manage to get to the alignment again, and repeat the process (hitting power button thing). Then it'll be aligned correctly (at least in my case it does...)
As Huefu posted the touchpad is dead my friend. There is another topic about the touchscreen being dead that I have posted on. You can buy one on ebay but beware there are two different screen types. So dismantle first to check the connectors on the back of your screen to make sure you get the right replacement.
Your looking around £30 and some patience. It's tricky to take the phone apart and reassemble. You can google for the XDA/MDA service manual, this will show you how to take it apart
Good luck
2 Years Ago i´ve got the Same Problem....I opened my Himalaya
and there was a bigger Piece of Tobacco (I´m Rolling my Cicarettes by myself)between the Screen and the Housing- you couldn´t see it from Outside.
...for my case this was the solution !
and this Year my Himalaya is getting 5 Years old
I would try this first before Buying a new Screen
...but ...as honosuseri mentionened before
There different Models with different Connectors
(i think 2 or 3 different Connectors)
watch out ! DOOD!
I have a T-Mobile Pocket Phone Edition,
It's had a rough life but as kept going for over 3 years now.
For the last year I would have to realign the screen 2 or 3
times a week but over the last few months it keeps getting worse.
Sometimes the screen won't respond to anything anywhere,
then after I tap it a few times boom works fine.
Sometimes I'll tap on the “Ok” and the “Start menu” will activate.
Sometimes drawing a line up the center of the screen will end up
shooting all over the screen.
And sometime it will work perfectly!
I thought the problems were to erratic to be hardware so
I hard set after awhile it started again,
So I hard set and installed a different ROM after a coupe hours
the problem was back.
Also sometimes the align program will get stuck in a
loop that doesn't end.
I've searched but can't find an answer? Anyone have an idea?
I've already taken it a part once but couldn't see how to get
any further after I toke the back panel off? Please help!
WOW nobody? So no one was heard of this problem before?
Can anyone direct me to directions on taking apart the Wallaby?
Thanks <><
It's a problem with touch screen. You should check (and fix) it.
Maybe it is necessary to press well screen to the motherboard. (Sorry my english).
Ok, Can you tell me where that connection is?
Thanks
Toke everything apart, found the connection, cleaned everything (w/ screen wipe)
put it all back together. Still have the touch problem and now the backlight won't work!
I've found if I press the unit in my hand the touch panel works right,
I don't think it's a lose connection to the main board so I think it must be
one on the main board.
If anybody thinks they want it for parts let me know! :?
My Raphael doesn't go forward from the align screen since I hard reset on Mystic 6.5 lite ROM. Now I have tried all stock ROMS with the same problem. I Will try to best describe the problem in a chronological order.
1. Had stock ROM latest with TF3D2
2. Flashed to Mystic ROM 6.5 lite, took three cycling of align screen to get through
3. After 24 Hrs lock screen got stuck, no sliding action worked,
4. Performed soft reset, phone boots up to lock screen again.
5. After several tries decided to hard reset
6. Normal boot up until Align Screen, The align screen markers keep rotating on tap, but doesnt pass through to home screen or customization.
The phone connects to active sync, and I can synchronize, flash roms normally.
I like to think that 6.5 ROM changes some screen sensitivity settings, and this is not allowing the screen to align normally. Somehow these settings could be stuck,
I request one of you experts to guide me in getting my expensive phone back. FYI, I have no warranty, I am not even in UK, I have purchased this phone over Ebay, I have flashed around 15 ROMs since my 2 month ownership of the phone, with no problems.

It now recognises touches but The touch screen takes wrong inputs, some times it doesnt, how can I recalibrate, without going into align screen, or can I go there too??

Hi, if the align screen markers are not accepting your input, it is more than likely something is interfering like a screen protector or case putting pressure on the screen. (or a digitizer failure)
the only reason it would not accept the inputs is if the data it's receiving is too far from the actual point of the crosses.. it makes you keep cycling through until it's within a level of tolerance..

Thanks for that ready info, really appreciate it.
Though it does give me some promise, but as you know I cant use the touch screen accurately, so installing a cab or changing the registry is near impossible scenario, unless those can be done via a computer. Right now, wherever I click on the screen, the notification area comes up with battery, network strenght info etc.
Do you know of any way how we can clean up the entire TouchPro (waever it means) and make a new flash. I presume flash does that, but then again I think there is some leftovers from previous ROM, as mentioned in the "Flashing your first GSM ROM" sticky, where it is recommended to hard reset immediately after flashing.
All your help required to save the phone and my money going down the drain. It just hurts that I was so much in love with this phone, since using Wizard for 3 years. Cant bear to lose this fight.

Thanks DA_G for considering to help me overcome this.
At the moment I have no screen protector on, I had one on for two weeks, and as it wasnt a good fit and collecting dust underneath, I threw it out arnd 2 days back. I have always used the normal sleeve case from HTC.
If you say there is no other reason for this behavior other than hardware issue, then I have no options left. You mention that the digitizer may be broke, couldnt it be that the software part of the digitizer is broke and we can rectify that.
After using wizard for three years, and that too very roughly, I have like dropped it several hundred of times, and not facing a problem, I refuse to believe HTC quality has dropped down so low. This touch pro was used most carefully for arnd 2 months only.
I still ask you to give me more options before going for hardware replacement. As of now I will remove welcome.not, hard reset and try aligning as long as I can bear it.
hi you should be able to use the keypad to cycle through... is it? i use to have tytn II. so u can install the fix or do a reg edit with it.

I have tried it with the keypad, unfortunately, it doesnt work as well as one would want it to ,,,,unlike the wizard I had.
The biggest problem you face here is to click the left and right soft key commands like OK, UP.
Wizard had the hardware keys for that as a fall back but not here.
I am at my wits end,.....wasnt that long!
Look up Pocket Controller @ Handango (it's expensive, but the demo's great). It allows you to run your ppc remotely. It has a pretty trick regeditor. It's a high octane version of active sync. You can probably align the screen with it (Settings>System>Screen). It shows you a big pic of your touch pro screen on your pc, and you can click things with your mouse.

Well I didnt try that but I used the My Mobiler, well the catch is you cant align your screen using these softwares, you can do all rest, install cabs everything, except align screen.
I believe the hardware digitizer has given up on me, I have just dropped it at the service center, who will ship it to another one, then they will quote for the repairs. So i keep my fingers cross until next week and see how they try to rip me off.
Did you revert to stock rom, radio and spl before you took it in? I hope so.

I reverted to only stock rom and radio, not the SPL.
As it is I havent given it in warranty, so I assumed it wont effect either ways.
It's weird you started having the problem after you removed the screen protector. Why did you remove it? Did it come off easily, or did it stick a little and give you problems? Do you think you might have messed up the screen when you were taking it off?

I dont think that my removal of screen protector could have hurt the screen. As it is the screen protector was stuck on loosely.
The protector I had was a little hard kind and thick kind as opposed to the usual thin layer. I really didnt like it.
I am still of the opinion that WM6.5 rom had changed the sensitivity or some other parameter of the screen to an extent where the hardware couldn't cope. As I first faced the problem with align screen repeating 3 times when I installed that.
Within 24 hrs my digitizer had given up on me. Hence I think, if I the ROM can be completely sanitized and then flashed, the digitizer should work.
I am in no way an expert on these things, but I am just trying to apply some logic.

HTC Fuze Alignment issue
Okay I have an HTC Fuze right, and I did a hard reset on it because the touchscreen was freezing, and working in only certain parts of the screen, so now Everything seems good with the touchscreen except the align screen part.. itwon't let me go past this stage, and Ive been at it for 2 days so can someone please help me out with my issue, I would sincerely appreciate it and thanks.
Dude, there is nothing much that you can do. There are ofcourse ways to skip the calibration screen and get to the desktop, but the functionality of the screen is allready gone.
If you are lucky enough to have a warranty for the thing, its time to use it now !!! If not, then start budgeting for a new phone.
As I didnt have a budget, I am using the phone in this condition since around a year and now thinking to replace it with Nokia N900.
Hi,
My HTC is giving me problems. The screen has become yellowish.
Earlier the screen used to become yellowish for 5-10 mins and it used to occur in two weeks or so. But now the phone has permanently become yellowish. I am also attaching a picture along with this thread. As you can see, the areas in the pic which are bluish is showing the true color of the background. Rest of the screen is all yellowish.
Can someone help me with this problem.
Best regards,
MOhit Goyal
Looks like a faulty contact from your Motherboard to your screen (bad connector, bad flex-strip or something like that)
IMO you need to send it in for repairs.
I have had the same with my p3300, but was able to fix it myself (connector was not completely pressed down, had come loose)
Hardware problem?
Do you think this is a hardware problem?
Why I doubt that is because:-
1. Whenever I touch any place on the screen for opening an application, the area shows the actual color, but if I just touch the screen the colours doesn't change.
2. Usually the phone starts displaying the correct colours after a restart
Should I take chances and reset my phone or something?
I'm having the exact same problem every now & then (often occurs when I keep the phone in my jeanspocket) A light tap on the screen often helps. Had it in for repairs earlier, but they only re-flashed it (!) So the problem is not solved
What to do now?
I am not able to play any game. I hate looking at my phone. It makes me so angry.
How do I get it fixed. Its the fourth consecutive day with the wrong colours.
Someone please help.
Performed a hard reset but still not working properly
This is not happening. I performed a hard reset thinking that it might just work but it did not.
Can someone please help me here.
Of course it is a hardware fault. Send it in for repair - or repair it yourself
I think is a virus or something else, because has happened to many people lately.
I also had the issue as pictured above.....and exactly as described in the first post.
It began to occur about three weeks....and gradually was getting worse.
Its getting worse
Again I am doubtful that its a hardware problem.
Now, I am not even able to open anything on my phone. I keep getting thrown back to the main screen. No matter what I open, what application I am using, it just keeps throwing me back to the main menu.
In addition to that, even when I am not using the phone, it just keeps flashing. I lock it and the screen turns on again. Its like the phone is getting used every second.
I think its a virus. Does anyone know any anti virus solutions for HTC HD2?
Thanks,
Mohit Goyal
i got exactly the same problem - check my photos here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716002&page=2
i donth think it is a virus - why? - becase if it so the virus should go when you reflash the rom or flash a new rom - i douubt also about the virus but when install new rom the color issue still existig.
i sent my device to the dealer for repair and i will apdate you about the real reason when i got the answer from the dealer.
however, the same issue happened before to one of my friends and the device was out of warantee - he took it to a repair shop and they told him it is a kind of default in the mother board.
this time we will get dealer answer so lets wait.
thanks
a member in other forum advised me to use the attached cab which solve a similar issue in Blackstone.
but it is too late for me because i returned the device to the dealer
however- other member faced a similar issue and the dealer told him it a default in the motherboard.
Send in for repair......

Listen to the others... You need to send phone in for repair... My phone use to flicker on and off to the point where I couldn't call or use.... I sent to be repaired and they replaced the mother board, but didn't fix my other problems (phone will not turn off and when u put in battery phone turns on on it's own)..... I would send in for repair.......................
htc contacted me an inform me that the reason was the motherboard
yea its the motherboard isue i droped mind and d screen has changd its colour to yelow blue and sometimes wnt wake up aftr remvng 4m poket.gave it htc repair center they said a socket or conector has a problm whch cnt be repaired and so mothrboard needs to b changed.motherboard cost 8000rupees/190dolars whch is **** expensive for repairing
I had this same problem and read on some other forum that you're supposed to "flex" the phone. So I bended my phone a little (the top and bottom backwards, be careful the screen also has glass in it) to try to get a bit of a curve in it and by god ...it worked!!!!! The screen flickered and then the yellow screen was gone!!! I'm so glad because I mailed Htc two days earlier and I still don't have a response from them. I hope it works for you
Just to confirm... The same thing happen to me its either (A) the cable from MOBO to Screen came loose usually by flexing or bending the phone which can happen in someones pocket. (B) the cable connector came loose by same methods (C) MOBO went bad usually by same methods. Either way one should it in for repairs or crack it open and see for your self.
I got same problem before, it happened when the screen is moist. it looks like there is an absorbent layer behind the screen which got damped. try drying it.....found article to contained the unit in a seal container with rice overnite for drying electronic gadgets, and see the result.remember to take off the battery. good luck.
Well I did it... Broke the screen a couple of weekends ago. Ordered and received a new one. (No problem and not too bad price-wise) Then I ordered the correct screwdriver. That came in yesterday and I followed a couple of tutorials online to take the thing apart. Not too bad despite the teeny-tiny parts. I got it back together and lo-it worked! Actually it took a couple of tries and I reflashed it but then it booted right up. All the apps seemed responsive and life was good once again...
Until I tried to make a call. Then the screen went dark and it appeared that the phone froze up. Called myself from the house phone and discovered that the Aria was dialing, connecting, and sending voice but that I couldn't hear anything on the Aria.
Disassembled, re-set the earpiece, reassembled, called myself again, and I could hear. The screen came on and stayed on, but the touchscreen would not function.
Disassembled, checked all the connections, and reassembled again. The phone appears to work correctly in all aspects until I try to make or receive calls. At that point the screen shuts down and the only way to disconnect a call (or get the screen back) is to pull the battery and reboot.
I tried reflashing the ROM and that didn't work. I'm afraid the transceiver is shorting the screen out somehow but have reached the limits of my expertise.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jerry
I have never had to replace my digitizer so only speaking from what i have read but it sounds like the very small rubber piece that covers the proximity sensor. I have read that if missing or not placed correctly people have had the same problem as you. Just my thoughts
I've replaced my digitizer and I have had the exact same problem. E.Cardo is correct, it is the small rubber piece on the proximity sensor not positioned correctly or not present at all.
Thanks to both of you. The proximity sensor is supposed to be right behind the ATT logo, correct?
I can't wait to get home and try this. I really don't like the backup Cliq Xt... I'll post once I've messed with it.

It's hard to see them exactly so I took a picture to show exactly where they are:
http://imgur.com/a/36h8t#ayQhv
It's actually just above the & in the at&t logo, although if you have a replacement digitizer, it might not have the at&t logo on it. If you have trouble seeing it, try looking at it in the sunlight.
To add to what drumist said there as small black rubber piece that goes around the proximity sensor that prevents light seepage and allot of people discard it by mistake when disassembling the phone.

Why did you have to reflash? The new screen didn't worked?.
My aria's screen is broken too. I boutgh a new one but It doesn't work. Do you resolve this reflashing? (that's mean applying the new rom version from ATT)
Thanks for your response.

The screen or digitizer are hardware they should have nothing to do with the rom. The op only tried flashing the phone to illuminate it is a possible source of the problem. It sounds like you did not install the new screen or digitizer correctly you may need to disassemble and make sure everything is connected correctly and securely. Flashing your phone will most likely not correct your problem.

Maybe, just maybe, there are new drivers for the touchscreen included in the rom. I am using cyanogen 7.0.3 without problems, and it works nice with the old screen.
Or the new screen is defective.
I am pretty sure I installed correctly the new screen. Of course the old one is working fine right now.
I requested a new screen so I will wait...
Thanks again.
