[garytanyh]

Me too having the same problem after hard reset :(

[d3vil]

I think its a problem with the latest wm6.1 roms.
Align must be a bit "off" to work...although I havent found a pattern yet...

Download PHM RegEdit, install and create/modify this registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="501,489 781,231 778,770 232,759 232,225"

These should work quite OK

I could have cooked a version that applies the necessary calibration data via provxml.. but alas it's too late now

Yo! Got the same problem. Solution was 5 secs away: create empty file WELCOME.NOT on your PC. Then connect to ActiveSync, go to Tools -> Explore Pocket PC and copy that file to the root of a memory card and to the root of your system. Reboot. Yo-ho-ho!

You guys walking around one main problem.
Touchsreen of your phone appears to be broken, when allign test is not passed its becames by fault of touchscreen. Doesnt matter what firmware do you use. Its just warrancy repair, if you have it. Mostly is replacing of touchscreen.
Donst listen to advises to pass this test is hardware fault.

hi, "welcome.not" worked for my samsung sgh-i780 very good.
I could start my phone without any alignment, but i'm sure, that in near future i will need to change touch screen.

Thanks for this tip. Now I can use my phone till the touchscreen is replaced/repaired.

Yeap "welcome.not" worked for me. i connect the device with windows device center since i am using windows 7 . then i naviagte to the root folder of the phone and put a blank welcome.not file and reboot it starts with out asking the align screen and now my phone is working fine. no need of the touch since i have a full qwerty key and a senser mouse. thank you so much.

[radkyz]

No way, it must work. It shouln't have 2 extensions 4 example : welcome.not.txt or similar. It should be just WELCOME.NOT.

@au22ru
It's not necessary to copying to root AND root of sd, it could be one root, but i preffer to have this file on sd, because after flash root of internal memory is deleted.

@yonylove
check the attachment. Unzip and copy to your sd.

hi heineken,

This thread started 2 years ago, but is still relevant for people like me..

My i780 also have TS problem.. at first, it started small only. Align Screen takes about 5x before it aligns, works for awhile, then misalign again. Then I Align again, maybe takes 10x now, work for a while, then not work again. I even re-Flashed ROM.

Now, I try to align it I must have tried tapping crosshairs 100x already, wont get aligned. And I cant quit the Alignment screen so I take out the battery to power off then on again.

From what I understand,

#1.. TS is now broken, Hardware (Screen) problem? no other fix, as you say above?

#2.. This "Welcome.not" solution at first gave me hope.. I thought there is simple fix, until I understand it now.. I think now if I REFLASH Rom, the phone will first ask you to Align Screen and since i cant, Ill be stuck there forever, right? Even if I take out the battery?

Therefore as long as my TS is broken, I SHOULD NOT REFLASH or I will be stuck? Am I right? And if I do get stuck then the solution is "Welcome.Not". (At least there's a way out) Did I get it?


I can still use mouse and keyboard, but Im not happy because I have lots of apps that use TS. Like GPS software when Im driving, as well as many games. It even makes swiping or reading sms hard with defective TS.

Fortinately, I think I may have a solution for me.

I still have that old bricked i780 (dead) somewhere. I bought a replacement and this one Im using now has the defective TS. (Maybe because I buy it 2nd hand.. although it was working fine the first few months)

QUESTION: Can I take the dead i780 to a celphone technician and ask him to replace the TS panel on my current one? That should work, yes? Problem is many celphone technicians are not familiar with the i780 model, but they work with a lot of Touchscreen phones. This should be easy for them to do and it should work, yes? (unless it is a chip issue or something more technical)

The reason Im asking for advice is I want to be careful now who I allow to open up my phone and mess with it. I suspect the last time maybe my 1st phone could still be revived properly but I showed it to many technicians maybe along the way someone permanently killed it.

Thanks for any advice!
