HTC Action Screen & Screen Alignment

Can somebody help me please, I tried installing a cab of the HTC Action Screen app from the touch dual on my Herald, after installing I noticed that the top right corner of my screen was not responding to my stylus taps. tried realigning the screen still no joy.
So I uninstalled the app but I still have the screen alignment issue, is there anyway to fix this without a hard reset?
sorry if this is posted in the wrong section as I didnt know if this was just a herald problem or if everybody had this problem?

It could be an old issue with a new device. Back in the day of PPC's it was found that some screen protectors slid under the case of the touch screen causing the screen to not respond appropriately. If you have recently put on a new screen protector or removed one, check the area just beyond the location where it is not responding. You might find something holding the screen down permenantly causing it to not respond. If there is nothing there and none of the things are present, I too am at a loss.

Just an idea.
Did you try a soft reset to remove the remnants of the application you removed?

@Just about right
Dont think it is the screen protector as I have had the same one on since I bought the device (almost a year now) without any problems.
@wovens
yep tried that
Ineterestingly if I open notes and tap the screen I get a dot in the right place, if I tap the top right corner it draws a vertical line downwards from the top right to the bottom. In the meantime what I have done is run the screen alignment, placed the styles in the middle of all '+' except the one in the top right corner. For the one in the top right corner I aimed a little lower than the centre, this allows me to click the X in the top right with the stylus if I aim above the box. not ideal but it will do for now as I dont have the time to reset this week...

Aligning the touch screen w/ WM6 + registry -- !!?

Does anyone here know of a method that I can align a touch screen on a pocketpc/phone (XV-6700; did not post this on the Apache forum because I am just wondering about how to do this on WM6 regardless of the phone function) using the registry? I have to use the registry, if anything, or anything else because the traditional pointing and touching with the stylus does not work due to a 20% working screen. Only the middle portion of the screen registers clicks truely. The other 80% of the screen you click here and the touch registers as a touch over there, centimeters away, making it useless.
Thanks in advance... I really would love to get this spare xv-6700/ppc-6700 phone working how it used to but I am sure it's a hardware + OS issue and the phone function has nothing to do with it.

Why not use the screen calibration under settings? If it still doesn't work, you may need a replacement.

Please Hellllllppppppppp... Alignment screen

Is there a way to bypass the Alignment Screen, Because my screen damaged from one corner and i can't start up my device.

if the screen is not aligned then it will not respond to any type of touch
input

Don't have time to search right now, but someone asked that before and got an answer on how to bypass it so you can use it using the hardware buttons/PC emulator. search well and you will find your answer.

Palmswipe screenshot issues

Hi guys
Has anyone mastered how to use palmswipe effectively? I've spent ages trying to get a good screenshot but often my palm opens up apps it touches, opens the edge screen or selects random items instead of taking a screenshot. I find let to right more accurate but I just cant get that screenshot when needed
Maybe I'm doing it wrong or missing something - any help/advice will be muchly appreciated

I just use the side of my pinkie finger in the middle of the screen. I had issues too as trying to palm swipe would cause the screen to scroll around or swipe to the next image or page.
Hope that helps

That works a dream - I was always starting right from the edge of the screen but starting from the middle of the screen is much better.
Cheers

I find its much easier to use power button and volume down button simultaneously .
