Anyone have an issue with their touchscreen where there is a "dead spot"? I don't know how to describe it other than that. There is a spot if I touch it, nothing happens. It is right where the Accept and Download button is on the market in portrait orientation. It seems to be all the way across the screen in a horizontal line. Pixels and color are not affected just the touch effect. If i reboot, it goes away for a while. Switching ROMs makes no difference, happens on every one I have tried though, so it seems to be a hardware issue. Any help would be great.

If you had searched the forums, you would have come across this, which will solve your problem.
Also, it's not flashable so unzip it and put the apk on your phone, install it, then run.

Try to find the HTC Calibrate.apk and push it to System/Apps... It'll Definitely Help!

I ran the advanced search and couldn't find anything for the E3D. But thanks for the help and for the hand-slap dude.

Really? After about 1.4 seconds I had 4 touchscreen issue threads (including this one.) pop up after searching "touchscreen issue" in the "search this forum" bar. Did you fix your problem?
No go.
Well the HTC Calibrate app did not work. I must say that it did help for sure, but the same dead spot issue keeps happening. OK, so now I have begun to look at replacement parts on Ebay. So just to get this straight, it is the digitizer/front glass assembly that registers touch, correct? As I said, there are no missing pixels or colors, so does that rule out the LCD? Or should I but both to be on the safe side? I really want this issue done and over with, so help me get this thing taken care of guys. Thanks to all you guys for the help. Also, if anyone has a digitizer and LCD assembly for a good price, let me know.
I had the same issue where the bottom quarter of my e3d hboot 1.5 didn't work I didn't have insurance so I took it in and the sprint manager said I wasnt the only one with the issue it's a htc issue I tried the calibration on different roms bit it would only give you calibration on the top half of the screen, spent swapped it out and I got a new e3d with hboot 1.5 of course but at least the touch screen is working.....hoped that helped you out cuz I searched everywhere and couldn't find a solution.
I was toying with that idea. Will the "watermark" from unlocking a 1.50 hboot version be a problem? Obviously I need to unroot. And also, I bought this phone from an individual just a few weeks ago after I got my first one stolen, will this be a problem? Any other thoughts on taking it back to sprint?
Yeah, it is really weird, it is exactly where the "Accept & Download" button is when making a market purchase. So, yeah it sucks, I have to rotate it horizontal every time I want to buy something
I have been having lots of touchscreen issues as well. Tried lots of different roms and kernels but no luck. Someone suggested formatting the SD card. I haven't had access to a computer so i just removed the card about an hour ago to test and so far i haven't had any issues.

I bought an M730W about a month ago from geeks. It came with 2.3.4 on it. I searched high and low to find the ICS for it since I'd seen that the same model is out and comes with it installed. I finally contacted Geeks to see if they could get me in touch with the manufacturer. They had no contact info. Finally after digging around I noticed something with the name of the US based company that hold the patent rights to it. I then dug more and got their number and while I was on hold I found their site. At this address (mymidpad dot com forward slash Downloads_M730Flash dot html) iwas was able to obtain a good manual and the updated firmware. Inside the installer it comes with PhoenixUSBPro, an IMG file and a key. During the install it said it was installing drivers to my laptop but I can not find them when I connect my tablet. The only way that I can apply the update is to have my M730W connected to my machine in a way that it's recognized. The only way for me to do so now is to connect as a USB storage device which does me no good when it comes to using the included software and firmware for updating. So my question is, does anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?
Hey Tod. I also have the m730w. ICS is definitely available for the tablet but theres a catch. Since its a tablet(a generic one at that) you have to use a program for your pc called Live Suite which is primarily used for the ainovo tablets but can be used with any generic tablet. I cant do it right now but most likely tonight, ill post the links and the information on how to upgrade to ics. im currently running 4.0.3 flawlessly and much faster and smoother than GB. and i have full root which i can also show you how to do. just let me know

That's killer Ace, thank you so much!!! Mine came rooted, which has been a blessing. Whenever you can get the information to me is fine. I'll do a search for Live Suite and see if I can at least get that step taken care of.

I don't have just the rom. What I've got is the package that can be downloaded from their site. I don't have enough posts in to put an external link in my posts here. I'd try using a different browser and going to the URL I cheated into my OP. Just replace "dot" with "." and "slash" with "/". The software doesn't install the drivers properly on Vista though so you will want to be aware of that.
Any other word??? I want to update my neice's if at all possible.
Wow, here are the instructions! Good luck!
http://mymidpad.com/M730W Refresh instruction.pdf
Bump.
I have searched this exhaustively! I still don't know what ROM to download or how to boot into recovery mode. The guy above who posted about Live Suite? Haven't heard back from him. I downloaded that, but without the ROM, I don't see the point in even setting it up. I'm not particular about which ROM, as long as it's newer than the one on here, preferable CM7 or newer, but beggars can't be choosers emmirite??!!

Well, well, well. Someone gave me a POS Kocaso M750B and I've been on a search to do something else with it. And I find a good chap from the epic 4G forums.
Did you ever make any progress getting any other rom on your el cheapo tablet?

LOL. Hi there. Nope. Not a damn thing have I done with mine. It is sitting on my desk. I let my son play Minecraft on it on long rides, and I use it as backup for my phones camera. I know it could be so much smoother, but is being crippled by it's OS. If I could ficgure out how to boot it into recovery I might risk bricking it with a questionable ROM. But I can't find the ROM OR the means by which to boot into recovery. In truth though, I mainly got it to patootz with. I'm more of a laptop kind of guy anyway.

If you don't know, there's no chance any of us ever will. Someone got this for free at some promotion and handed it off to me, so I'm out absolutely nothing. Just a bummer there isn't more to do with it. You'd think that all these POS tablets would just share the same mainboard and proc, so that some standard JB rom would work for all of them. The screen is terrible and it registers touches so poorly that many games are just unplayable. But, if I give it to one of my nieces or nephews, I'll be a hero!
Thanks though!

Yes you will be a hero. I'm sure there are generic ROMS that would work with this. A) I have no idea where they would be. and B) I don't know how to flash them. If I found one I suspected was close, I might try to ODIN it on there.

im having a few problems and wondered if the forum could help
1. quite difficult getting my sim in the TS and not sure mine is ok as it doesn't seem to be like a push and click fitting it like a micro sd card it seems to just push back and therefore when i fit the gasket and the cover it is extremely difficult to seat correctly.
2 not sure if this is because of point 1 but im not getting any 3g connectivity any ideas that could solve this would be great.
3 i have a game app that we are working on just for the omate when its finished where would be the best place to show it?
many thanks
Bill

Make sure you have the chip facing up towards the screen when you put it in. You need to push it very far in for it to click. Took me a few goes at first but it does work.

You need to manually turn on data connection. I think it's off by default.
Hello all. I'm hoping someone can give me some tips here.
My Xperia z2 tablet has a cracked screen which is apparently serviceable under the seller's warranty, but I need to make it so that the original firmware / software etc is intact. I hope that makes sense.
The tablet is rooted and is running Cyanogenmod.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Sorry - I should also add that due to the screen crack, the whole right hand half of the touchscreen no longer works, which makes things harder again.

Update: I now managed to flash an FTF I downloaded so it appears Cyanogenmod is gone, but unfortunately it's in Russian (I think) and I can't read the setup menus - or press the 'next' button, which is in the bottom right of the touchscreen.
Maybe you should try some sort of remote control software like VNC?
I googled solutions to fix "Your device is not compatible with this version" when downloading new apps, and followed the directions on this video. My phone started having the issue described (reboot loop), so I attempted to follow the accompanying video, but could not get it to work. I figured if I did a factory reset, it would put my phone back to how it was, erasing the changes I tried to make. However, it did not fix the issue.
I just bought this phone 3 weeks ago and now I can't use it. I'm on a fixed income (Peace Corps volunteer on a living stipend) and spent nearly my whole month's allowance to get this phone. Right now I can't afford to take it to a Samsung store to fix it, and I'd prefer not taking it there anyway as I'm in a city that I don't live in right now which is clear across the country from my home, so if I take it there, I may have to leave before they are able to fix it.
Is there someone here who would be willing to skype-walk me through trying to fix the phone on my own? Apparently I'm not capable of doing it myself, and I really want my phone fixed.
Thanks!

Can I get the link of the video that you saw ?
You probably can flash the phone with Odin.
Sorry, I can't use Skype to talk to a stranger as I'm 13
So we can talk here freely.

Thanks. In case you couldn't tell, I'm very much a techno-noob. I really shouldn't have tried messing with the phone on my own.
What will this download do for my phone, and is it complicated for a noob to operate? I really don't want to mess my phone up any more than I already have.
