Hanging at "Align Screen" screen? :(

[wywywywy]

Hi all,

Like many people's, my Hermes (T-Mobile Vario II) suffers from screen misalignment issue, and needs re-aligning almost daily. I've done all the mods but to no avail. It is out of warranty so I can't send it back.

Recently, when I try to align the screen (by pressing Confirm button + Message button, or by going to Settings > System > Screen), it just hangs in the "Align Screen" screen - it does not respond when I tap on the target cross.

Only a soft reset can take me out of the screen.

I am using Schap's January 2008 version.

Any idea why please? :(
But screen now is misaligned really badly and I can't re-align it...

Thanks.

EDIT:
But it doesn't happen every time. Very occasionally it would work...

Answer is easy... Schaps roms have "Ftouchflo" installed. It is nearly sure it is activated on your phone. In this case, the alignment utility is NOT usable. And the pda can stay with a non reactive touch screen till next reset.

Desactivate touchflo by using the touchflo configuration tool followed by a soft reset. So you will be able to use screen alignment.

Perhaps this should have it's own thread but it is very similar.

My tytn (WM6) has suddenly developed a strange problem. When I go to align the screen, the crosses appear as normal and when I point to them, it appears to be working. Except... After pointing to the last cross, the whole thing starts again, and this happens continuously!

This started when I applied a screen protector and tried to align the screen through it. It was working fine before then. I have taken the screen protector off again, but there is no change.

As I've spent the whole day installing cab files and getting it as I like it, syncing etc. too, I really don't want to have to hard reset it again.

Any other ideas?

That usually means more than 1 point is touching the screen.

That's what I thought but I've cleaned the screen and done the business card trick all round the edges. I can't see where it could be touching...

Any other ideas or suggestions that may help?

I couldn't find a touchflo "disable" button anywhere on my Hermes, but I did go into "Remove Programs" and uninstalled the HTC Cube application, then did a stylus soft reset, then aligned the screen with no problem.
