Hey i don't know what happened to my Wizard but suddenly after installing two Alarm Clock softwares i just started losing my Screen Alignment. To fix it i even tried re flashing my Wizard but this time the problem started early and without installing those programs. Did anyone of you have the same problem?? If you do have a patch do post it in reply. Cause after using the ROM I'm using now all the other ROMs seem to be too Slow. :D

NOTE: Information about my Wizard is updated and in my signature.

Thanks in Advance.

HI,

Have you ckecked the connection between the screen and the print? Maybe it has a bed contact?

If you still have warranty, the you better send your phone back to let it repair;)

good luck

Hey im sure that there are no problem with the HARDWARE cause if there were problems with the hardware then it should not even work after i align screen and secondly if you know any ROM faster than mine (mentioned in my sign) cause when i switch to nayother ROM they seem to be too slow.

hi,

but you said that you heve the problem with all the roms, isn't it? so then it must be a hardware problem?

Well there's your problem right there. Anyone that sure of anything can't be right about it. :D

Seriously though. This sounds like an intermittent fault, and that is the domain of hardware failures. This kind of thing happens when hardware ages. Especially around things with moving parts. That slide-out keyboard wreaks havoc on the ribbon over time, and eventually, they just give out. You may have one that's merely loose, or it may be getting ready to break, or it may already be broken and just touching often enough to make you think it's okay.

The chances of this being firmware or driver-related are really slim. If that was the case, the error would be constant, not intermittent.

hey i guess that SLIM chance has won i installed another ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367375) Its been a day and its working f9.:)

Sorry! but i dont guess i said that anywhere by reflashing i meant reflashing the same ROM.:D If the problem still presists then it might be a HARDWARE fault but for now its working pretty fine.

I have had alignment problems for a long time. Clearly mine is hardware related, since stock and custom ROMs both show the same problem. Sometimes I'll go for months with no problem, and then I'll have to start realigning several times a day. Thank god for smartskey, otherwise I could rarely close a program. I was told that it was probably a hardware problem and that it would've been covered under warranty (if I was still under warranty), but I never sent it off. Somebody else told me once that It was probably due to there being pressure put on the edges of the screen from the frame around the screen, and if I disassembled it, made sure the seal/padding wasn't touching the touch-sensitive part and then reassembled it, I should be fine. But I looked up the process in the service manual, and WOW it looked like a lot of work with a lot of places where I could screw up the phone, so I just live with it. Sometimes sliding it open and closed would totally mess it up. It seems to help if I just squeeze the edges of the screen to really "seat" it, and then align. Then it seems to stay pretty well aligned for a good while. Good luck!
