Just got a T-Mobile MDA compact. I have installed the extra applications (FAX, GPS, etc) from the CD ROM supplied with the MDA.
After the installation the PC tells you to do a soft reset on the MDA.
I then did the soft reset and once the MDA restarted the screen was all messed up. I had to do a hard reset to resolve.
Is this a common problem - is there a fix to it? I would like to know as otherwise i am going to be very reluctant to upload any other software incase this happens again.
Messed up in what way?
If it's the Today screen that's messed up, and looks like it's one screen half drawn over another screen, this is the issue when you sometimes install things in the Ext_ROM.
The fix is simple, just click Start>Settings>Today and then just tick "Use this picture as Background" and click OK, your today screen should be fixed.
I have to do this after I install Ext_ROM programs, but just do it once and the phone's fine until I install another thing.
thanks - worked a treat
I've got a MDA which has a broken lcd. Its just cracked slightly, but still displays fine. I did a Clear Storage and now the phone has reset and is giving me the "tap here to set up your device" wizard. I need to bypass this and any screen alignment that may come up since the LCD touch feature no longer works. I've done it before when I got the phone, but I cant find the thread nor remember the steps.
Any help is appreciated.
you really can't. i heard theres a way you can flash a rom where the config has already been done, but i don't remember where i saw it

create a file on the root of your storage card called welcome.not

At least I hope it does.
Just create a file named WELCOME.NOT on your storage card and do a hard reset.
HI , I had this problem with all my old crashed PPC ,,, so delete this file and reboot ,,, /Windows/Startup/Welcome.exe
U can use the "Activesynce Explorer to browse the Windows Directory
Enjoy..........
use "Remote screen alignment" tool and bypass your start screen easily. search this tool in forum. you will get it easily..
Regards
welcome.not and http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-...iler-v1-2.html
THANK YOU SO MUCH kfletch and le_cactus. I'm not sure which of these worked since I did both but the welcome screen FINALLY went away. it took a while. i had to install the Mobiler software and I had problems getting my ActiveSync up but I created the welcome file by going to the desktop of my pc, right click, new , text document, i changed the default name "New Text Document.txt to Welcome.not" then I right clicked to copy it. Next---Once the Microsoft Activesync came up, I clicked on Explore --> My Windows Based Device ---> Storage Card then I selected paste to paste the welcome.not file. After this it gets a little tricky because your device has to sync again to filter the file back down to the phone. This took a while. Then after a few resets, the Mobiler software finally read 'connected', then it gives you a screen shot of your mobile device, i did a soft reset a few MORE times and it worked. It's not as cut and dry as previous posts made it sound. it's a pain in the butt.
My touch screen (T-Mobile Wing) stopped working after I used it in the bathroom while in the bathtub (I don't know what the heck I was thinking), well later that day the screen stopped working and the genius at tech support had me do a hard reset and software upgrade, which did NOT help. (whatever you do, don't call tech support, especially if the white dot beneath the battery is another color---you're screwed!!!)--AFTER tech support messes up your phone they won't bother to help you if they think it's due to water damage! I'm going to see if I can locate the forum regarding reloading the touch screen drivers. I think that may be the problem.
thanks dear I try i350 gSMART and working.

Buy a not broken screen
HTC TYTN(Hermes 200)
Hi there i have an HTC TYTN, happens that i'm suposed to have the same problem (maybe broken screen).
The phone was working fine untill today.
I can't bypass the screen alignment; i tryed both ways.
What can i be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Bypassing with "logic"
Hi there;
In my case; i found a way to bypass it.
My screen has a 4mm scratch in the top left of the screen.
so i just pressed the bottom of the cursor (NOT IN THE MIDDLE WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO PRESS - "in the top left cursor" - where the scratch is)
after that i could use my phone again.
Also after this try finding the correct registry screen alignment and save it.
It will work properly.
welcome.not works for TyTN II with unresponsive touch screen . Blank micro SD card with just one blank file welcome.not. You can insert the sd card just before you hard reset
It worked in OMNIA II and passed the screen calibration..Thanks a lot guys!!!
Ok I use Diamond Touch Flo 3d config. and i went to remove some tabs and when it said "Reboot required do you want to reboot now?" I clicked no and i did some other stuff that required a soft reset and performed a soft reset about 5 minutes later. and when the device came back up all of the tabs were there so i just thought it didnt take but when i went back into Touch Flo 3d config. it show those tabs unchecked but there was also a copy of these tabs checked so i was wondering if anyone knows how to correct this ive tried uninstalling the config but still there also does anyone know how to uninstall/reinstall touchflo 3d that may be a fix.
so im a 6.5 rom and it doesnt matter if im using tf3d2 or iphone today or stock winmo today screen or if i turn off all of them
after the phone being on for a while the today screen will fail to appear yet i can still go to start menu and go to any program, everything works except today
i can close everything and run clean ram yet that wont help
only a soft reset fixes it
any ideas?
I just got a Touch Pro 2 and I was in middle of installing SPB mobile shell from a faulty SD card and the installation failed half way.
SPB shell disables touchflo so even though the program did not fully install, it removed the touchflo interface.
I ran windows\manila.exe and was able to get touch flo back that way, but when I restart the phone it does not start up automatically. I copied manila.exe to the startup folder and this didn't work. How I can I get it back to automatic start up?
Welcome to forums
A hard reset is the best option to get all working again, some files are messed up by now.
Next time, before install any today plugins, or any program that bring together with a today plugin, like Windows live etc., disable touchflo from today settings first, it is located in the items tab of today settings, then it will not happen again.

Have you tried to install spb again? Installing it would at least give you a working prgramme?
If not, then you could remove all folders and reg entries created by spb, but this could get messy if you are not confident in playing with reg?
Yeah a hard reset is a lot of hassle, I can get touchflo fully working by running manila.exe... Shouldn't be too difficult to get it to start up automatically.
How can I add it as a startup entry? Shortcut in the startup folder didnt work...
