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 flashed a newer rom onto the phone and since, my touchscreen does not work. I have searched and seen posts that this is a "hardware" issue but since problem occured during the flashing process, I'm hoping it can be fixed.
I have seen something similar in posts about the wifi eeprom being erased. Can something like this have happened to the touchscreen controller?
So far, I have flashed various radios and various OS builds both stock and custom and it is still a no go. I can get past the alignment screen by remotely connecting to the phone and taking out some registry keys (can't remember which right now).
Using Pocket controller I can control the screen except for the screen alignment calibration which wants a pen tap.
Does anyone have any ideas other than "send it in for repair?"
adding...
Just thought I'd add that this was a second machine that I received as payment for helping out a friend. And, while I would have no problem paying to have it repaired or breaking it down to sell as parts, this issue of dying touchscreens gnaws at me as being something fixable through software.
That said, I am not a programmer so maybe I'm just simply wrong. It's an interesting problem though. Makes me wish I knew more about electronics...
I might be way off, but....check the system information for the operating system version, WM 5/6 Professional Is Touch Screen, WM 5/6 Std is not.
Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm sure the rom I flashed is a touchscreen version.
Well for what it's worth, if anyone is in the same boat, the registry key to delete will be at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSWelcome
delete the entire sub key as well as the value in :MSWelecome that has welcome.exe in it.
hold the power button until the popup comes and then answer yes. when the machine reboots, it should bypass welcome and the screen calibration.
you can get Mobile Registry Editor here:
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
this will let you access your phone's registry from the PC. Good Luck
I wouldn't think that it's the flashing process that broke ur touchscreen. Probably something else like a power surge or something. If you already tried flashing different ROMs, then it's definetely not software anymore. But of course, I could be wrong. There may be some low-level programming thingy that crapped up the connection to the touch screen.
Yeah. You're right. I was hoping that if it was a low level thing it could be fixed with software but I guess not. It was worth a shot.

Why dont you try running a very thin visiting card or anything equally thin between the housing and the screen,sometimes if a tiny partical gets lodged inbetween this problem may occur.
Touch Screen Problem
It is a hardware issue, i have had the same problem. There is no software that is going to help you mate. I restored my original t-mobile Rom sent it for repair and they exchanged the unit. Don't forget they have a manufactures warranty.
I tried everything to try to resolve the problem but with no sucess.
good luck
Update
I've narrowed the problem down to the actual touch screen. I can get the touchscreen to function correctly if I put just enough force where the mylar flex cable attaches to the touchpanel.
It is a very odd coincidence that the touchpanel died just as I was flashing from WM5 to WM6. I distinctly remember doing the pen calibration just before flashing so that I could see the screen for any prompts.
I've ordered a new touch panel and now the next challenge will be figuring out how to bond the flex cable of the touch panel to the main flex cable.
Anyone got any ideas on that?
Hello all the wizards of this site!
I own a Touch cruise for abt 1,5 years. Have always been a fan of this site and used cooked ROM's from the very beginning. Now the problem with my device.
I took it from my pocket and put it on a table. Afterwards when taking the phone I had a missed appointment on my screen. Trying to dismiss it I noticed the screen didn't react to any touches. So at first I thought the device had hanged. Soft reset but nothing..I couldn't even dismiss the alert as the screen didn't react. That's the first time I thought the screen might be broken. So I did some research from the internet and found that a Hard Reset might help. Tried hard resetting but couldn't do it. I'm pushing the Internet Explorer and GPS buttons (lower softkeys) and pushing the stylus to reset button but nothing...just a soft reset. So I thought I'd install a new ROM as that should also erase everything from the devices memory...nothing. The new rom is installed but I'm now stock in the screen alignment Touching the screen doesn't work where the cross is..as I run my finger all across the screen it seems that lower left part is kind of responsive as the small cross moves when I touch the lower left part of the screen. Now I noticed that the screen has an oily line in the center of the screen...
so what am I to do? Screen broken? Why can't I hard reset then? The warranty of course is for 2 years but I'm quite sceptical if this goes under warranty..they can alway say that something has hitted the screen or smthng.
Any knowledge and help is appreciated..
thank you in advance

same happen to me on may, and i send it to htc. They replaced all the front of my polaris wich was scrached
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.

Done that and it successfully skips the alignment section...but.....
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??
Where do I go from here

here are a few links and misc info. Unfortunately development was stopped since calibration wasnt perfect, but its worth a shot.

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,
I've tried a number of firmwares Europe/Asian/T-Mobile and my local Telstra Rom. But no success.
I replaced my smashed digitizer and LCD the other day, however everything works great, the touch response is inverted - Left to Right. All touches on the left side are responding as if I'm touching the right side of the screen. Everything in the middle is fine obviously but from there it's mirrored.
It's quite possible that because the digitizer was bought from the USA and its in a Telstra (T8697) phone, it's somehow incompatible.
By bootloader is stating the TOUCH is C1(v66)
Does anyone think they may have a solution to this? a Registry edit or some kind of Screen calibration?
Cheers for any help.
BTW - The digitizer capacitive buttons are also mirrored i.e. Back is Search and Search is Back.
This digitizer also has a circle around the Windows (Start) button. My old screen didn't have this..
same problem
Hi gauge41,
I have the same problem :crying:. Do you have a solution ?
I bought my touchscreen on uk by ebay.

I've read somewhere, that there are two modifications of a touchscreen for mozart and they are not compatible, so if your previous digitizer didn't have a circle around windows button, but new one does, mirrored input is definitely because of that. Haven't heard of any registry tweaks to fix that, and I don't think you can fix it by installing different rom. You should probably get a compatible digitizer replacement or try installing different touch screen drivers.
