I am currently using an SPV C600 with the latest Orange ROM (2.0.14.0 & Operator Version: 11.2.1.8). It is unlocked (SIM and Applications) and SuperCID.
I followed to the T the instructions posted on this web site for upgrading to WM6. I tried all the flavors, but on all of the them, the keyboard driver seems to have a problem, because the joystick does not answers to push (down or on the side) too often.
I extracted the keyboard.dll from the current Orange Rom and incorporated it onto one of the WM6 (not really importany which one) using the ROM cooking tool. I also removed the first 2 bytes as instructed and recompiled. Loaded the new WM6 Rom with the Orange keyboard.dll but as soon as the upgrade is completed and the SPV reboots, it stays stuck on the Orange splash screen.
I put back the Orange ROM for now until I guess some advice on the step I might have missed.
Thank you

No one else had that issue? and if so, what did you do to resolve it?

I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320910
and edited the initflashfiles.dat as instructed below (on the same link provided above)
7) Edit as much as you wish, dont forget to get rid of the first two bytes in the initflashfiles.dat file before you build rom again
I'm having the same problem with my Cingular 2125... I've tried all the WM6 versions and the joystick won't work right... It feels like I have to push really hard for it to work like it's a sensitivity thing.
I tried flashing back to WM5 and it worked just fine...
Sometimes my SPV C600 is fine........sometimes it's not
I had similar issues with my SDA. Every time I pushed in (enter) it would move up, and moving right wouldn't work all the time. What my problem was, wasn't software but hardware. I opened my phone, and unscrewed the joystick from the cover. What I found was a rubber ring under the joystick was out of place (probably keeping dust and dirt out), and it was interfering with movement. It must have some how shifted while my phone was in my pants pocket. All I did was remove, then replace the rubber properly, and now my joystick works just fine.
i hav had da same problem with my 2125..... but not always....
Not Hardware related

For some of us, the problem is not hardware related as going back to WM5 makes the joystick work properly all the time.
Cheers..
Same problem here with Xda IQ, down function on the joystick can be tempremental.
Same here... Dang I thought it was my Tornado.. Looks like THIS SAME PROBLEM has occured to many other folks as well....
I have seen this on my tournado aswell - I dont think its firmware related, maybe a hardware defect.
On an off the joystick would go unresponsive (down especially), it got progressivly worse over 6 months or so - possibly due to me pressing harder and harder to make it work - it got to the point where the little rubber cap in the middle of the joystick poped out which rendered it unusable as it just tore up my thumb.
Joystick is also trashed now, just sits loosely and dosnt 'click' in anymore, still works if you press in though.
This all happened over about a year and a half of heavy use.
Maybe it was me abusing it but reading this thread...

I am currently having a problem with my Uni, it doesn`t appear straight away (after flashing new ROM etc) but instead only appears after i load certain software.
Whats happening...
I am constantly having to re-align the screen, the digitiser can change from one moment to the next, something as simple as changing the orientation of the screen can throw it out of position, its driving me mad
The Programs....
Tomtom 6, Noviiremote deluxe and the new HTC audio manager, these seem to be the cause as far as i can tell.
Is this because they are a different/Greater resolution than the rest of the software (True VGA?), something the uni isn`t designed to accept. Is there a fix/patch that i am missing, or, lastly, is my Uni on tis way out
I am currently using Laurentius26 WM6 Bus Pro RV5 ROM.
Your thoughts would be more than welcome.
NoviiRemote ot of the question, I have it, I use it, I have no problems with it(on WM5, though...).
Of the othe two, I can make no comments...
If you use programs on WM5 you can't compare it with WM6.
You can trie to install one program at the time to see wich program causes the problem.
It's also handy to report your problem to the builder of the rom you're using.
I know that Laurentius always replies on questions and problems with his ROM.
sounds like a hardware problem
i had the exact same thing happen with my HP iPAQ a couple years back.. they replaced the screen under warranty.
try rubbing the screen down with your thumb as if you're trying to align it.. see if that makes any difference.
it did with the iPAQ, but then again the display composition may be different on those two..

With-out any of the above programs installed, the fault isn`t present so far (insert smillie of guy frantically crossing fingers) which leads me to believe that the fault isn`t hardware related.

give it a couple of weeks without installing the software to be sure.
Not sure i can wait that long, one of the main selling points/reason for not upgrading the Uni is its versatility, its ability to constantly re-invent itself, i just can`t get bored with it.
There is always some-thing new to add/change (WM6)(thanks to this forum), it just never gets old.
I love this phone.....
Been running now for a couple of days with-out any Hi-res apps, and the digitizer problems have not happened again.?????
Any-one have any idea why Hi-res apps would be causing me problems.
I`ve been doing some research on the forum and i can honestly say I`m still confused.
The closest i`ve gotten to an explanation is the difference between VGA and qVGA....
i.e
The Output/Display part of the screen for the mentioned programs is VGA and the Input/Digitizer part is qVGA.
i`m guessing at this point, but according to other threads, if you try to run VGA apps without the correct dlls for the digitizer, you get pretty much the same problem i`ve been getting, you think you are pressing on one part of the screen but the uni thinks differently.... something to do with dpi.
Hey,
I had installed Faria's first WM6 rom on my phone... and I noticed that my screen alignment was shifting gradually to the left... as in the click would be registered a little to the left each time. This made it difficult to click OK and to Scroll...
I install the Tmobile 2.26 rom, WM5... the problem remains, but after a month it goes away... now my phone is working absolutely perfectly... no need to keep realigning...
I installed another version of WM6 today... Xmobile 2a or something, and after 5 minutes of using the phone the same thing begins happening!
Has anyone noticed this issue?
Some help guys/...
the same problem with me, sometimes when I tap on OK button the tap is sent to the contacts (on the lower right portion of the screen) and sometimes on the middle of the screen...
I changed the IE button to OK/Close button
Screen Alignment
Same with me!
Same here infact this is true with consolidated rom also. I tried all possible combinations of touch dll same issue. This problem is not in NBD 7.X roms
same with me and i'm using TNT 3.0 ...
hi guys screen aligment problem means your screen is faulty..roms dont cause this problem.i had same problem 2 months ago.i sent my wizard to repair.they changed my screen.now my wizard is working like a charm.no more screen aligment problem anymore with wm6(or wm5) roms.(i am using SND 2 at the moment)....HTC technician sad to me this is a big bug in all our at the wizard models.so flash with your orginal rom and send your wizard repair.you will be happy with your new screen )
I had the same problem! I eventually gave in and got a warranty replacement after the vibrator motor started to fail. So far, no problems - XM6.2a works like a charm.
Hey guys, what about the fact that there isnt any alignment problems when running WM5. I'm talking about months of no problems, then loading WM6 and they start all over again....
I've found that my alignment practically shifts depending on the way I put the phone in my pouch... it has a pretty strong magnet... is there anything with that?
Hmmm You know, this can be discussed as a hardware issue etc..
but my personal experience has been this.
WM5. No alignment issues. When I leave it in my pocket though, oftentimes I have to do the screen alignment because it seems to 'fade' and is not precise whenever I select anything in the entire screen with the stylus.
WM6. Alignment issues started happening --but, it only happens on the extreme right of the screen --the vertical scroll bar and the OK button. I oftentimes have to re-align the screen and it seems to be good for a few days/hours?
It's not a defect hardware wise that I can see because it's very specific. If it was a defective hardware, wouldn't the issue be on the entire screen?
Is it ROM related?
WM6 HTC Asian pack installed and tweaked to Cingular
Thumb swipe and screen covers ??
OK, here's a new wrinkle. I was trying to flash a wm6 ROM BECAUSE I was having screen alignment problems. Unfortunately flashing to TMobile 2.26 in preparation only seemed to make matters worse. I resigned myself to sending it in for warranty repair and flashed it to ship 1.8.11.1 WWE and I couldn't even get through the align screen sequence. Sometimes it wouldn't respond at all. Sometimes I could get the first two or three taps, then nothing. And guess what, according to my friendly Cingular (now ATT) dealer I'm 7 days out of warranty!!
The story's not over. As I morosely sat on the couch fiddling, my wife googled a couple of references to this problem being fixed by wiping your thumb across the screen ( yeah right, during a full moon with your other thumb in your ear ). It didn't work. Being the good ol gal she is she said "let me try." I humored her. First thing she tried to do was take of the screen protector (cant remember where I got it but it's the washable kind, recommended on this forum, mail order single piece that fits perfectly). I said don't bother, cause that wouldn't have anything to do with it. You guessed it. She still taunts me about it. It worked. I still have frequent misalignment or unresponsiveness, but I wipe me thumb across the screen (sometimes 2 or 3 times), and poof, it responds appropriately without even realigning! I just returned to the forum to get the ROM I was trying to flash in the first place (the reason I lost it is another long story!) and decided to post this FWIW.

I'm still leaning towards this being a hardware issue in my case. I was using WM6 for a few months before I developed any problems with screen alignment. Unfortunately, I did not check to see whether the problem wa still there after I flashed back to the manufacturer's ROM.
Wizard Screen Alignment - Fixed!
Gents,
I'm pretty sure that this is not a ROM problem at all, but a hardware issue that can be easily resolved in most circumstances without handset replacement nor opening up the case.
Specifically, it appears that the flexible mount (foam, I think) around the screen gets a bit stiff or deformed over time. The result is that the screen believes that there is constant and diffuse pressure on the right side, screwing up alignment. All that needs to be done is to slide out the keyboard and loosen the two screws on the underside of the keyboard just a bit. Pressure on the screen is released, and the problem is solved...probably semi-permanently.
That said, if you remain under warranty and are not concerned about a replacement that is a G4 or a different model altogether, by all means send it in for warranty replacement rather than messing with the screws.
I have T-Moile MDA (Wizard) Windows Mobile 6 is working fine for me, no shifting problem of screen. I'm using XDA Mobile 6 (XDA MOBILE 2a)
This is not the bug of operating system, it is the hardware problem of screen.
I have this same problem, and its definately not a hardware issue; I can go into Screen preferences and Align Screen, then it works fine for awhile. Also, restored backups of my WM5 setup are not producing this alignment problem. All WM6 ROMs I have used suffer from it.
Mine is an 8125.

Perhaps the touch.dll in WM6 is more sensitive to the foam mount problem. Have you tried loosening the two screws I mentioned and re-aligning.

I actually just bought a case off of eBay for my phone. I never replaced the screen casing, but found that the screws were loose. I tightened them, then noticed this problem. I will try loosening them and let you guys know how it goes!
amazingly, i loosen the screws and my X button seems to work a lot better with the touch dll. I will test this out for a couple days, but seems to be working pretty well now.
I don't know... That trick doesn't appear to be working for me. One thing I don't understand is how the alignment can be perfect, I let the phone sit over night and it's a centimeter off to the right. You would think if it's hardware related, actually having the phone in your pocket all day, would jar the screen around. But if it sits on my nightstand all night, and still has problems i'm not so sure i'm convinced that it's hardware. All I know is this is really annoying and I do not like having to align my screen everytime I use my phone. Maybe i'll have to get a new one since it's out of warranty.
Guys, check out:

I just posted a response about someone elses possible fix. This may be the answer.
This may also explain why one users 'loosening' the screws on the unit fixed it. Maybe it was pushing dust into the screen.
OK so maybe this doesn't work. Can anyone else try it ?
HISTORY:
Recently back from screen replacement. Currently on TNT4.0 Professional.
PROBLEM:
It seems that the bottom half is alright. Just the upper half especially on right-hand at OK buttons. I've to click almost 5mm-10mm below to actually press OK or X. It becomes apparent while writing on Notes(I use PocketNote) with handwriting. Below appx. half line it writes where the pen is touching ie perfect. But above half line, it becomes very hard to write anything at all coz of problem in alignment. The alphabets don't appear as should be with some stopping short.
I suspect it's the hardware but also could be ROM(WM6) related. I briefly tested 1908 and it seems fine but due to the lack of time, I went back to current rom.
1)If others are also having same problem then possibly a ROM related.
2)Possibly some has already a solution if it's ROM related.
3)If hardware related, then time for wizard to retire as replacing again is not worth due to the price involved.
Just want to see whether anybody else having same kind of problem in WM6.
Thanks all.
I had similar problem with my previous ROM (but dunno from who was it, but OS said still 10.x.x.x), but this problem appeared and disappeared by itself, sometimes I had to re-align screen. It happened without any obvious reason - while playing solitaire, etc. Started to suspect hw, but reflashed to latest TNT and problem solved.
I have the same issue with my mda it in the same position, top right hand corner. I just haveto realign it, then reboot. And it fixs it for awhile, then I have to do it over again. Gets very annoying, I dont know whats the problem, since it happened when I was on the stock tmobile updated rom on wm5, and it still happens when I upgraded to the wm6. Currently running the black diamond rom, but since running black diamond it doesnt happen that often.

I've started noticing issues with screen alignment as well. Initially, I seriously thought it had to do with the "TouchFlo" fad and all the related WM6 ROMs, but I had since gone back to WM5 shipped and the problem persisted. So now I am facing the sad fact that my Wizard is probably just getting too damn old!!! I see the posts all the time.....ailing battery life....misaligned screens...flaky usb ports...miniSD cards not working...etc... I looked at various prices to replace parts ( http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main.asp?area=home )- but it just doesn't seem worth it!
Let's see how prices look for the Kaiser early next year... Or perhaps if I-mate gets their act together and produces hardware that lasts...
check this thread out, i tried the last suggestion, and it work awhile.
same ting here, but for me the problem occures on the bottum, at the softkeys. Most problem occures at the bottum left side. I also tried loading WM5 stock ROM (Qtek or T-Mobile) but without any improvement...
When aligning I also need to press the covering at the bottom left side, else I can't even align the screen....
In deed it seem to look for a new device will be the only good solution...

Since i did this the screen alignment issue has disappeared, working great. Has been going good for a day and 8 hrs.
Try it and see, since this problem with the screen alignement is quite mysterious.
I think native12, is right. I have two Wizards (one OK one bad) and one Hermes. The bad Wizard was replaced by KPN, who told me that its a known problem, works fine now. The Hermes is even worse 1 cm out after half an hour.
YUP ! very true our ol'wizard are aged wearing out and goners
but certainly not a Rom upgrade malfunction,I must say only due to hardware malfunction or wearing out,
My story goes like this:
I've been having this realignment symptoms for over 6 months now but it got worse during the Summer. I used to have a protection film and read somewhere that the pressure it applied on the screen was responsible for the misalignment. By this time that was happening several times a day so i took the film off and it appeared to be the solution. It wasn't... after two weeks or so it came back and i started considering applying for warranty replacement or repair.
I have a friend that works at the official dealer repair center and offered to take my Wizard for observation regarding this matter. He saw i was running a WM6 customized ROM and was concerned that the repair guys would complain about void warranty so i decided to downgrade it to the original shipped ROM: 1.06 WWE
So he took it and in less than a week i had it back. You wanna know what they did? They upgraded it to WWE 2.17... HAHAHAHAHA After the large amount of ROMs flashed and countless times i read and flashed it to test WST they upgrade the device to solve a hardware issue.
Man, that almost makes me not want to send it back for the real repair/replacement...

THAT"S IT
Asking "how" is like travelling through space in 3 seconds...(nice one )
It got worst from bad after using "search" function- with those cutting card method, screen protector off things. Now even the screen calibration never ends.
No....even can't sleep as "KAISER" is on my head.
As of late, my new Fuze (the 3rd one, I exchanged the other ones out because they got kinda scratched up) has been showing poor performance. And then today, the touch screen just stopped working. It still registers the touch, but it's like no matter where I touch it can only go to one of the two soft keys. Has anyone else been having this problem?
I'm going in to switch it out again, but I'm really not sure if I want to keep using the Fuze...overall, it's slow, buggy, and the GPS is trash. I love the phone, but it's just not working.
Are you using the stock ROM or did you use one of the cooked ROMs? I have a Fuze (upgraded from a Tilt) and everything works fine on mine. I read that a lot of people are having issues with the GPS. I did initially --- I could not get any GPS connectivity. I ran HTP GPS Tool and everything worked fine after that. Even after I flash another ROM it works fine. I use TomTom and GoogleMaps regularly and even GoogleMaps can get a GPS lock within 1 minute.
You may want to check the settings for the TouchFlo. Download DiamondTweak and Advanced Config 3.3. They have settings to improve the sensitivity of the touch screen... maybe you need this or at least give it a try.
As for slow, I think this has to do more with the ROM. Since I got my Fuze, the first thing I did was flash one of the cooked ROMs (of course, after HardSPL ).
Good luck.
I'm using the stock ROM, I'm kind of scared to flash a new one. I did all the performance tweaks and it made a pretty big difference, but it's still kind of slow. I can live with it though. The GPS works occasionally, but it isn't nearly as strong as other phones I've used/seen. And the touchscreen problem has nothing to do with the sensitivity, I'm fairly positive it's broken. Like, when I touch somewhere on the screen, it registers the touch as far to the left as possible (ie. I'm trying to close a program or open the task manager and it registers the touch as pressing the Start button). It may have something to do with the fact that I cleaned the screen with a monitor wipe, although I would assume that that shouldn't affect anything. It's just such a coincidence though; I literally used the monitor wipe like 2-3 minutes before it broke or screwed up or whatever. And it's not a software issue. I hard-reset it and it took a good 20 minutes to get past the screen alignment (I think it just gave up on me and went to the next screen). I'm just going to exchange it out for a new one I guess, although I'd really prefer an Xperia X1 at this point (or any point I guess...I just don't want to spend 700 dollars on it)

Dude, I hear ya..... I'm getting the same issue, it registers touch etc, you press your home key it vibrates you softrest with button on back and it starts up and I know its booted WM as I can hear the windows startup sound, It's not the first time this has happened to me, one other time after flashing a cooked rom, It did the same thing then I managed to blindly navigate the device into the bootloader then reflash the device, the screen suddenly decided to come back on at the "tap to setup device" stage, you know with the screen alignment...., then I did like 2 hard resets, cause at the time I thought that this was something to do with it, then everything has been working good as gold up untill last night when I flashed the cooks latest version, it worked for a lil bit but in my messing around with the device, the screen switched off then stayed off, I've been trying the same process that I tryed before, but it's not working, maybe I should of did the 2 hard resets straight away rather then fart arsing around loading cabs etc...?, not sure, as I'm at a loss with this one... maybe it was just on it's way out, upto HTC heaven and there's nothing I can do about it ?, God, I hope not !!, MY next thing I'm going to try is load a stock HTC ROM onto the storage card, and maybe that will work...hmmm??, anyway...do you know anymore or are you at a loss as well ?... Oh BTW, I'm using a Touch HD, with a manilla 2.5, 6.5 ROM, from one of the popular chefs, (I'm not gonna publish the chefs name) as I think it's not really his fault....everyone else seems to be OK, so must be something else, I've wondered sometimes about the amount of writes available on some types of memorys having something to do with it, but it can't be that..?, something with the screen, I've noticed it happens when the battery is running real hot as well !!, anyway if ya find out something, I'm keen to hear as well, as no one seems to be answering my post about it.....
I have had a idea about this for weeks and the soultion
http://www.maplin.co.uk/conductive-pen-33837?tabid=1&criteria=usb&c=so&u=strat15
As This pen is used to re-place broken conductive tracks on circuit boards etc
(for those want to know exactly what its for, read on the site)
my idea is to coat the back of the plastic where the wifi and gsm aerial's make contact with the board to amplify the signal, instead of the little tracks that htc have provided.
But my problem is finding a video showing the camera area removed without damaging it (where the wifi arial is)
I have been in the gsm repair trade for years, and i take this idea from the old nokia 3210's and the aerial's on those which used to just clip of and where the same idea.

i remember someone saying that the heated their phone to remove the cover near the camera (not sure how he did it)
you might want to try the software fix that is already available,many people said that their problem has been fixed after applying the software fix
but if you manage to open it can you report if there is any improvement in the signal attenuation in dbm?(using some app like wifi analyzer)

There was another thread in this forum (can't find it now) written months back where someone was trying and achieved successes removing back off phone, as you say by heating the phone to melt glue
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Hi I've looked at numerous videos,but none show removing the top,and I don't want to heat up my beloved phone!!
I'll flash a new Rom,radio and kernel tonite,then the software fix and see how it goes,unless one of the custom time already have it included,and report back

I think that you'll find that most of the Custom ROMS have the wifi fix already in them.
This was the other thread that I remember reading before, hope it is of help..

Right i'm now on
coredroid desire s v1.1
radio 38.03.02.11_m (FLASHED SEPERATLY)
and mdj's kernel
I flashed v2 of the wifi fix after installing all of the above (even if the rom all ready instaled it) and i'm happy with result,even in the death grip i have 1 bar and that will do me fine,so no need to open up the phone
hope this helps any one out there
