After using my used Treo 750, WM 6, AT&T for about two months, it started experiencing the screen problem. Upon hard reset, the screen would respond to the first tap, and be almost unresponsive to the calibration. I had to press repeatedly very firmly. Went through a couple of hard resets and it didn't get better.
The screen would respond find for a while and then start working. I thought that I had it all taken care of and was working well yesterday until the afternoon rolled around. It started being unresponsive again. After a hard reset, it would respond to the first touch and then calibration barely worked.
Finally, I was able to get into it and installed Palm's Device Reset and ran it. It has since then been calibrating fine. I'm only using it bare bones right now and won't be able to test it more in depth until this weekend to see if the problem is resolved.
I did notice using SKTooks that the gwes.exe process was running at a high percentage while this was occurring, near 40-50 % when it is running at 0% now.
Any thoughts? ANyone tried the device reset at:

Treo 750 touch problem
Hi , I'm having the same problem wit my Treo . Did you solve your problem?
Hey Davidoff,
For quite a while, mine acted up, so much that I bought a used Wizard to replace it. Even after performing the device reset as I noted above, it would still be unresponsive at times, with the GWES.exe process (as shown by SKTools) running much higher.
For a while, I let it set without it's battery (perhaps a week) and then reinserted, fully charged it and immediately disabled ALL today plugins. So far, it has been running great but I'm very tentative to switch back to it as my primary phone, even though I love it.
I'm wondering if you can try disabling your today screen plug-ins, set the screen backlight to dim at one minute and the device to auto-off at one minute and see if this helps to resolve the issue. I'm curious as to whether any of those three combinations made a difference in mine, or have just bought time until it acts up again.
Anyways, I'd be interested to learn your results.

Since some time I have this problem that when I turn on the Pro I have to 'unlock' the device. At the bottom on the left you tab the screen to unlock and next you tab the rightside of the screen somewhere half way and than it should 'unlock'. But it seems that my screen is not aligned and when I touch the right side I can see the screen 'light up' on the left side.
After unlocking using the keyboard I can touch the right side eg the 'X' to close the phone but instead I get the start menu. If I touch the 3 on the phones softkeys I get a 1.
Any idea is welcome.
hard reset, so you can align the screen at the beginning...
or use your keyboard to navigate to start->settings->system tab->screen and run "align screen"

The 8525 (aka hermes) has been known since first release that some device will have screen alignment problems, I personally sent my TyTN back to HTc europe a few weeks after i got it (August 2006) and the screen alignment issue was fixed, something to do with gaskets around the touch screen expanding??
Ive sent my Raphael back after 20 days because the LED behind the "Send" key stopped working, but im getting my replacement back some time this week.
There are ALWAYS problems with HTC devices but that doesnt make me love them any less
Advice to the OP: if the device isnt working correctly get it RMA-ed for a replacement/repair, these are expensive devices and you shouldnt settle for anything faulty
I'm having the same problem as mrvanx
i've been digging in the registry and found
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / HARDWARE / Touch / calibrationdata with a numerical value
is this where the screen cailbration data is stored and has someone looked at this? Kinda n00b with this and could'nt find anything related to this on the forum. Could use some help, cuz this constant un-alignment thing is driving me nuts.
Maybe someone knows a base value that's close to perfect alignment, if there is such a thing?
thanx
Hello everybody.
My Touch Pro got a bad touchscreen, the center part is dead.
So when I want to allign my screen, I can't get past the center cross.
I can allign my screen but then I have to tap all crosses slightly on the right.
But now everything is missalligned.
So could someone post me his/hers CalibrationData from the registry?
It needs to be from a Touch Pro/Raphael..!
It located at: HKLM/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/TOUCH/CalibrationData
It would really help me out!
Thanks..

I had the same problem. Where-ever I touched the screen, only the left side of the phone highlighted.
After the re-alignment, it worked !!
Bad thing : I have to do it every 2 days :-(
And yes : I'm using my phone A LOT !!!! (It's just a part of me (Am I becoming nuts ?))
Screen alignment problem correlated to high temperatures?
Hi guys,
Since a week I've had problems with my screen alignment all the time. Sometimes the touchscreen worked fine, sometimes it was completely off. Re-aligning it in settings worked most of the time. Soft resetting worked too sometimes.
But today the problem just went away. I started thinking and came up with the idea that sunny weather and high temperature may induce this problem, since the problem started when it was great weather here. And it magically went away today, which is a rainy day (with moderate temperature 15-20 C).
Could any of you confirm this? Are you living in a warm environment? Does the problem go away when in an airconditioned space? (Mine did)

you phone case, does is have magnet lid?
i purchased g1 from ebay, right from day1 the screen does not respond properly in fact most of the times. i need to reset soft one to at least g1 working. i upgraded to jesusfrake adp1.1 but issue is same. looks like a s/w bug or problem as if it were a h/w problem it would not have worked at all. if iam lucky it works like a charm but stops responding once i get some sms/email alert or install any app from market. can someone help here!!
Have you already tried reflashing the firmware? If not, do that. Otherwise, why don't you contact the person you bought the phone from. It sounds like it may be a hardware problem which might be why that person was selling it.
i did flash everything from bootloader to firmware to rooting. but problem remains same...it works for 5 minutes and again screen stops responding but trackball is active....right now iam on latest JF formware..
is anyone facing a simillar problem??? any work arounds....
Sometimes my home screen goes completely blank on me and seems nonresponsive for about 30 seconds. Can be pretty annoying. It seems to happen when I'm switching from an app to the home screen.
Contact HTC directly and ask for an exchange or something. All G1's have been out for less than a year and so they should be covered by warranty.
I put a new screen protector on my G1. I noticed that it had a bad reaction with the touch and I took it off. After I took it off, my touch screen got much worse. It was very jumpy and unuseable. There was a practically invisible film on the screen (couldn't even really feel it. I took a little bit of soap on a lint free cloth and wiped the screen down and let it sit for just a minute (to soak any residue) and wiped away. My screen worked perfect after that.
I was ready to call in for a replacement.
could it be a bug as if it were a hardware problem it would prevent touch screen responding at all!!!
i downgraded to rc 30 and rooted the phone, now its working like a charm!! strange though.......
My orbit 2 is having a few problems.
The touch screen is not functioning at all - the picture is fine but there is no response - and when I try to hard reset it just soft resets.
I firmly hold down the windows and okk buttons and put the stylus in the reset hole, still holding the buttons down. I have tried keeping them held down right until windows has booted, to no avail. When windows starts it goes straight onto the built in screen lock, so I can't even do something using the direction pad. Activesync connects but I can't do much due to the screen being locked.
I feel I have exhausted all avenues but I love the phone and dont want to give up on it yet!
Any suggestions?
Me too
I've had exactly the same problem three times.
The first time, I downloaded the latest WM6.1 ROM update from O2 and installed this. The device was fine again after this for a couple of months.
The second time, reflashing had no effect, but for some reason after a 2 or 3 days the device just started working again.
Third time... just last week, patience has run out and I'm awaiting a replacement device from O2.
I'd still be intrigued if anyone has any insights as to the cause, and a reliable fix!
Within the last hour my touch screen will not work or respond to anything. I have done a soft reset, removed the battery and nothing. The buttons on the phone work (send, back, home etc.) but the screen wont respond. I noticed a little oil spot in the last few days but it was working fine. I need some help here
I too..
am having the same problem as of this morning....
I got this problem 2 days ago. If someone changed the screen and it started working please reply it.
Same here.I used to flash NRG's Roms and i had always the same issue.The screen was tapping by her self at the down left side.Only by soft reseting the device it was stopping.Now i tried 2 flash another rom but unfortunately, i'm stuck in the beggining.And 2 be more precise at the screen alignment procedure.Nothing works except the buttons but in this moment are useless
Check this out.It might help

Same problem! I also have the little blue oil spot. Not sure how it happened -- could've sworn it was safe in my pocket since the last time it was working. Did it get wet or something?

Hello guys. I had a strange issue with my wife's phone today... and I wanted to know y'all opinion about it before spending money in a new screen.
First of all, we never did any bootloader-unlocking or rooting on it before.
She was returning home with the phone in her backpack (empty, so the phone was not hit or anything). And when she arrived she took the phone and it began to hang and get freeze. Then it restarted itself, and entered in a bootloop. It stayed that way for an hour until finally I got to turn it on. But the touchscreen didnt work anymore (the screen looks perfectly and it has NO scratch, I swear...)
So I tried a factory reset, but the touch still didn't work.
So, what do you guys think? Could be something like software/drivers problem? Did you know any similar issue ever?
I think its very weird, cause before it worked perfectly. And it matches too much with the almost-brick moment...
