Hey.
Does anyone know, if it would be possible to take of the touchscreen and do something it, maybe by replacing something, so that we can use it as an monitor for for example windows 7 or linux. It is because i have been searching for a long time for a projected capacitive monitor that dont cost a fortune without luck.

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:

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?
Last month, buy a ViewPad 10s. Great device. Thanks to this forum I can install the market and install many things. Until one day, after seeing a movie (Mobo player) I started missing the touch screen. I could not even unlock it!. I turned it off and set aside. The next day started as if nothing had happened. But with the passing of a few days, began to fail often, and not resolved by switching off. Until today that is totally screwed. Not react as it should, and I can not access at all to any of the functions. Here's a short video of what I'm telling you.
(search in youtube "viewpad 10s touch screen problem", the one from chgalvez user)
I've tried calibrate.ini, and almost all .apk calibration apps that are in the forum. I've try as last chance to upgrade with an official rom from viewsonic(1.09), but dont' work neither.
Anyway I think I can't prove anything more as the touchscreen almost no response at all.
Anyone have an idea if there a method to calibrate from the outside, with a USB cable or something?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
It never worked here (first day I have it) and now I even can't pass lockscreen (with viewcomb and original software I even couldn't select a language to pass the homescreen).
Why can't this be done in recovery?
My screen problems seem to come from my gtab being very sensitive to cold. When it is warm it works great, but when it is cold it is nearly non-responsive.
Had a similar issue. I plugged in a USB mouse and unlocked it and got to my calibration and ran it... It worked like a charm after that.
Hey
After 2 years of using my HTC HD2 I have a problem with ON/OFF key.
It just stop working. I think it's not a key problem, because even if it's not responding if I'm pressing it it's sometimes turn my phone ON or OFF by itself.
I would live with that, letting him to just turn OFF after one minute not using it and turn it ON be pressing any other key but it also drains battery a lot.
Even if I'm not using it (during the night) the battery power in the morning is about 35% (after full charge in the evening).
I thought it might be some OS problem so I have done hard reset and went back to default OS.
This fixed the problem, but after 2 weeks it's back again.
Is there someone out there who had this problem?
Does anyone know any solution?
Thanks

the same here. this is a hardware fault. i have luck. my hd2 is in warranty. hope yours too.

Yeah, it looks like a hardware problem but there is a strange thing. When I take the battery out for an hour or longer and then put it back in, everything works as normal for some time (an hour or so). Isn't it strange?
So now I'm thinking about two solutions.
Disassemble my HD2 and take a look at it from inside
or
just check and install Android on it (maybe its not a hardware issue)
Do you know where can I find assemble instruction for HD2?
I have unscrewed those 4 screws but don't know what next. Cant find any snaps.
I'm not worrying about disassemble it as I have done it with my previous HTC HD and it's very simple, until you know what to do.
Edit: I have found disassembling and assembling instruction video on YouTube.
I put here links to it if someone need it
Disassembling - http://youtu.be/cL-jnUKufC4
Assembling - http://youtu.be/t8Q7mXdcJ54
I think it's time to try to fix it.
Or maybe I should get an insurance first?
Alright, my problem is I have an SIII with broken glass, a broken digitizer, and a broken LCD. It's my old phone as I had to buy a new one due to these issues. Ended up getting the HTC One. Eitherway, I can't use the screen at all yet I can turn it on and everything. Turned it on today, and since it's on a seperate number than my One, I got tons of notifications the second I turned it on, plus, I need the screen for a few other things. My question is, is there anyway I can display the screen on my laptop through USB running on Ubuntu without the use of my phone screen? Also if anyone knows how, I do ask for super detailed instructions as I suck with Linux now. (Old HD died due to Windows sucking.)
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys!
Long story short, dropped my phone by accident, screen cracked, ordered a display + touchscreen, took it to a phone service, got it installed, works like a charm. Except..
The touchscreen is a little bit inaccurate. Not to the point where it's impossible to use the phone, I just need to tap above everything, just a little bit.
(I used an app called "Touch Accuracy", here's a picture of how inaccurate the screen is: https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.c...VfSrJps5Ct/Screenshot_2016-09-19-16-17-44.png)
My question is, is there any way, or an app to sort of fix this issue? I found a few on the Play Store, but none of them helped.
Thanks in advance
