bypass screen allignment????

[paygee]

hi,


is there any way to bypass screen alignment after hard reset???

[yorkie-7]

Whats the point? After a hard reset the sceen alignment information is lost, to by-pass it would leave you with a very unresponsive screen.

[paygee]

it is broken screen ,and could not align screen in 4 corners,it misses 1 corner and cross sign return back in the center :( :( :(

I also would like to know how to accomplish this on an XDAII.

To rephrase: How can we bypass the screen calibration after a hard reset? There MUST be some way! Perhaps a different ROM version?

Thanks!

Try to insert your XDA2 into cradle and restore any backup you have. After reboot you would no longer need to realign the screen.
I'v tested this on old RoverPC S1 and it worked.

I actually came up with another (better) solution...

After a hard reset, put your XDA or XDA II into the cradle & run activesync. You can either set up a connection, or go as guest.

Use the 'explore' button to browse to the \windows\startup folder on the XDA, and delete the Welcome shortcut. You can then remove the XDA from the cradle, softboot, and bingo, no welcome message, no calibration.

Hope this helps. I'm surprised no one has come up with that before.

I am having the same problem but when I try to remove the welcome.exe it is saying "cannont delete file welcome: access denied". I is probably because the process has already started... any suggestions?

maybe you want to try this... i've tried it, works like a charm...

This worked perfectly on my touch diamond! Thanks everyone. (this is another reason why we should never post questions without a simple google search!)

I removed the welcome file and was able to get in, many thanks for the great support.

Well chaps seems like bypassing using the cradle and softwares has proven to work...is there a way to doo this using the bluetooth?
i have an old O2 XDA IIs and its touch screen is broken but the lcd works fine, but i have no dock or usb cable, kindda lost those moving around the globe..
but i can get it to pair up with the bluetooth on the welcome screen before it asks for the calibration...yes yes y don i jst buy a new digitizer!!...wot fun would that be!!
Soo, any genius out ther willing to help out?...BTW its running the original ROM

Thanx ahead!

Just create a (empty) file named "welcome.not" on your SD card and do a new Hard Reset (or soft reset, should also work)

Well,

For what it's worth,
I found out on my brother's Qtek S200 that was also in a loop, that it automatically passed the align screen after some 15 times.
Later I found this in the registry:
HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Touch\MaxCallError(=16)
So I assume you can tick the align screen 16 times before it continues?

Dear folks,

But I am stuck with usual software installation after hard reset and I cannot go ahead as the button dont work and I cant press OK or anything else. I am using Imate Ultimate 8502. Can anyone help me in this? Thanks

I tried aligning for 20+ times on my i-mate PDA2k, and I'm still in the aligning loop. The CodeFactory tool worked, and thanks to nonentity for uploading (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1024111#post1024111) it, because CodeFactory.es is now defunct.

BTW, can you please upload the .doc? Not sure it says anything super important, but it might be interesting.

what is correct the way you do a hard reset ..? [
Performing a hard reset
CAUTION: When you perform a hard reset, your device returns to its default out-of-the-box settings, and all information and third-party applications are lost. Only perform a hard reset when you want to clear all settings, programs, and data.
To hard reset the device, perform the following steps:
1. Tap Start.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap the System tab.
4. Tap the Clear Storage icon.
5. Type the indicated word or numbers, and tap Yes. The device resets and powers on.
