Screen Issues

[Mudstuffin]

Hello All,

Since installing WM6 I have been having some strange screen issues. I suspect it is just coincidence. I have installed various different roms and I am having the same trouble ( currently latest lvsw ), making me think it's probably actually a hardware issue.

The screen behaves as if the top right corner is being pressed. This closes apps in portrait and brings up the start menu in landscape. It doesn't happen all the time, but doesn't stop once it's started.

Has anyone heard of this? Is this the same problem as the alignment issue? I have tried the buisness card fix to no avail. Should I take the phone apart as described in one of the fixes for alignement or do I need to send the phone off?

Yours hopefully...

How old is your phone? Some models had screen alignment issues which could explain your problem. Have a look at this thread and see if your serial no (HTxxx) fits with those with known problems. If it does, read Mrvanx's guide to put your phone ROM/SPL etc back to original status then send it in for warranty.

Mine is a HT648 which doesn't have any known problems with screen alignment. I have moved to canada, so although I am still in contract with vodafone, it is very difficult to send it back for repair. It will be my fifth replacement if I do!!! All previous ones had the screen alignment issue, this one is at least slightly different.

I am tempted to try the dismantling fix described in one of the other threads, but perhaps I should ship it back to the uk for a friend to hand in to vodafone for repair and then have it shipped back over here...

If you open it you void your warranty. If it is the screen alignment issue and you fix it, then you are good. If you open it and it is not the screen alignment issue then you just voided your warranty and cannot get it readily fixed. I had an earlier TYTN and I had the screen alignment problem pretty bad. I opened it and fixed it. It was pretty easy.

I would probably try to install a different ROM and and see if it still happens.

Good luck.

I've tried lots of Roms, unfortunately that hasn't fixed it. Reflashing back to voda and sending back seems sensible, but I'm not sure I have that much pacience!

i did the business card technique. use a business card around the edges and take out some of the black brittle gasket. make sure you keep it real clean around the edges.

I used a microfiber cloth to get under there with some lens cleaner. I read on another screen alighnment post to put a small piece of business card under the lip of the lower portion of the screen(that probably doesn't make sense but do a search for screen alignment).

when you slide out the keyboard i loosened those screws a quarter turn. someone also made a mortscript for screenalignment that helped as well,

Hi !

I have the same problems with the same ht648. The problem occured step by step. First after upgrading to WM6 everything works fine. But since 25th my device starts problems with the touchsceen so I can tap on it everywhere without response. I think it is a thermical problem, because when I put it into the FRIDGE the touchscreen works again for a while.

Have same problem here i also have a v1605 HT648 and i have had it for a month now. It has worked well till yesterday when it started exhibiting this problem. I haven't done any ROM upgrade or anything.

This is really a pain - i hope i can get it replaced
