Since I bought it with the original WM5 ROM I had two most annoying problems with it (now I run WM6):

1) When I use the car charger it will only charge the first time I plug it in. If for whatever reason I unplug it and plug it again, the damn thing won't charge from the lighter charger. This is very frustrating as you can imagine since I use igo with the screen always on that drains the battery in a few hours + bluetooth consumption + the fact that phone itself rather old + the fact that igo doesn't save routes and I have to make my route all over again!

2) My screen gets missalligned extremly often! I mean like in a few tens of minutes I have to run Allign Screen again.

These are the main reasons that I stopped using it a while back, but now I need it badly for a long trip with my car. I tried to search this forum for these problems but I couldn't make head or tails of the search results. Do you know any quick fixes for these issues?

Thank you for your time.

There is a known issue where it will charge once off a lighter socket and not again unless it is switched off. A soft reset will start it charging again. (Bit of a pain).

The screen alignment issue is dealt with extensively in other threads.

So there is no workaround for the car charging issue as of yet. That is unfortunate. Thank you for your reply.

I have the same 2 problems on my TyTN (Hermes).

Right now I'm investigating the charging problem but so far without any results. As said before, a soft reset is right now the only way to get rid of it.

The screen alignment problems are most annoying since it happens a lot really. Seen solutions for that problem in other threads. Although I don't know if I really wanna risk taking the whole device apart myself...
For now I just realign when it happens (made a shortcut to access it fast).
