Heeeelpp !!! :eek:

I am going crazy over this problem : :mad:

I have had my HTC Diamond for less than two months and it has worked fine.

Two days ago it started misinterpreting my stylus' pointing on the screen.
It seem that the sensory-element in the screen has "moved"...
I have recalibrated the screen several times and it works for some 6 - 10 clicks.
Then the touch of the stylus is either not registered (if I try to reach something on top part of the screen) or I get results as if I was pointing between 0,1cm - 1,5 cm or more above og under (it varies) the actual contact point of the stylus (needless to say - I have given up using my fingertip).

I have tried with soft reset and have also tried the hard reset but to no avail.

It means that I can't use the phone for one thing and also, that most of the other functions are out of reach or very very hard to use because of the displacement.

Ozgur ? / Anybody ? :confused:

If it is acting up like mine, she must be crawling the walls by now and refusing any form of physical contact - just like the phone does ... :D :D

Mine is so bad now, that I can't call a number from my list or pick up the phone without 4 -5 tries at hitting the right spot let alone using any other function.

Against better knowledge I today updated the ROM with the new one from HTC - and it is quite evident, that is is a hardware thing.

I am handing in my complaints and the phone today.

I had the same problem on dutty's v2.2 rom yesterday. I reflashed a radio as i had problem with gps as well and it is good back again. Reflash your radio. If not flash radio and other rom. Usually HTC rom don't upgrade your radio!

Same problem here, my diamond stated misinterpreting slightly the stylus, now it's all just messed up, wherever you click, it detects the pulsation at the upper left side of the screen. It doesn't pass the calibration phase either.

I did not try to reflash the radio, just reflashed the stock SPL and original Vodafone ROM for sending it to RMA. However they are telling me that the whole RMA-thing will take AT LEAST 2 weeks. Over 15 days without my phone. I need it, that's madness! They should give the users a new phone and send the other back to HTC for whatever they want to do with it!

I think it happened after I tried playing a bad-formatted WAV file and the phone crashed. Should I try the Radio thing?
