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.

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 ?
Sorry, Double Post . . .

you´re wrong
This problem is from hardware or software. All you said is a lie, No GSM is an attempted issue from an expose the UNI to a HIGH frecuency electromagnetic radiation, like an electric motor, high tension wires, electomagnets etc. The high frecuency fries the GSM transeivers of UNI. in same way the uni has 2 CPU´s one of them works for pocket pc device and another one for GSM tunner and transmiter, as all CPU´s this have a NVRAM memory that requires a boot program if this memory gone damage or the NVprogram corrupted result in "No GSM".
The UNI had a several electronic design problems one of them is the low duration to expose to a hard usage, at the end reflash again and again and again the UNI gone damage the CPU´s, if your UNI gone to "No GSM" due to a hard punish to your UNI, you install or reflash some that corrupted the NVRAM from the CPU phone or you get a defective UNI.

Hi guys, at last my uni get no gsm (when I pull out the battery.. (duh!)... If U're succedd with my step, please don't pull out the batterry)...
Any way, I bring it to repair centre.
After My uni fixed, the repair centre said that every pda must turn off radio every day, cause as far we know, our device can't be turn off (unless we pull out&put it back without press power button). So our radio can get rest... (hmmm now I know why my uni get no gsm.. cause it never turn off and always on for years! Can U imagine that... Always searching for signal 24 hour 7 days for years...No wonder my uni radio get broke...)
Anyway, from now, everynite I turn off my uni radio and turn it back on in the morning... Also, now I use ROM Tomal/Ranju 7.7 (cause this ROM can still boot quick&correctly with no gsm...(just prepare if the problem occure again..)
Thanks.. Hope this can help...

This has to be the strangest thing I ever heard.
Speaking of ROMs you can use - Tomal's 8.2 (and quite a few others) boots fine without GSM and I find it much more functional than 7.7. Just a tip.
Thx

Hi everyone pretty new to the Chinese phones and apologies if this has been done before (i cant find it) but i have a JIAYU G4 youth which is running the latest custom rom off needrom.com (JY-G4 Yabe V7.0.2) this is the 3rd rom i have flashed and each one the GPS is very slow or does not work at all and you can not get a fix. The only way i can get it to pick up satalites is to use the engineer mode on mobille uncle tools which is quite long winded.
Ok so to my question "can the gps be improved by some sort of configuration?" I notice in the root of the sd card is a gps config file does this need altering somehow when used in UK?. Any help would be much appreciated as other than this it is a great phone.
The problem is rather the antenna in the back of the device when the device screen up and metallic body, the blocked antenna. GPS works well when the device display down.
But there are some guides on how to improve GPS software (according to me do not work):

This is more than only a hardware (antenna) problem. I've noticed that when I connect an external BT mouse that the mouse itselfs gets a "spot on" fix, but the phone is struggling to keep this fix.
By editing the build.prop and disable JIT the phone has a much better GPS fix.
GPS fix issue in Jiayu G4
Finally the issue is solved by 100%
The problem is rather the antenna in the back of the device .
The PCB has contacts for GPS antenna , the 1st & 3rd are the ground & the middle i.e 2nd is the main antenna.
I just skipped 1 & 3 contact by putting insulating tape between contact & the antenna.
Only 2nd point is touching the antenna .
just that's all.
Now my phone fixes GPS with in a minute in cold start.
I tried with most of the available ROM.
Pls note : If you are not a technical person do not open.
refer to some mobile repair person .
soon release the photos of the same.

Hi Pankaj459,
I tried the software fixes, which got me a quicker fix. Unfortunately the fix is not very accurate.
Very often the GPS loses its way and I find myself about 100yards beside the road or in a nearby street.
I opened up my G4A and noticed that the 3rd pole had already been isolated with black tape. I did also isolate the left pole. Nevertheless, did not see any difference.
The fix took just as long/ short. Accuracy was just as dismal.
Is there anything else I can do? Would it actually help if I modded some copper wire to the GPS contacts, or would that not solve the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

So do you think the solution has to do with putting aluminium paper in the antenna? I have seen that fix in THL and it seems to fix the accuracy, maybe it is the solution.
Would anybody share a little tutorial on how to do it?

Hi
You should try to follow this step by step tutorial about configuring GPS + antenna mod , it reaches up to two meters accuracy in motion in a Jiayu G4T :victory: :victory:

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my Nexus 5 in that it overheats to around 70 degrees (got to 101 at one point!) Just by being on, even without using it. It even heats up when you check the battery when powered off (by pressing the power button once) only by a little bit.
I also have another problem, the phone can detect the SIM card and displays the number on the SIM, but it says no signal.
A third problem is that when the phone is locked and the screen is off, it randomly restarts. This doesn't happen when the phone is in use.
I would really appreciate if you guys could help me,
Thanks
1. What rom are you using? do you use a custom kernel?
2. try reflashing factory images.
3. remove simcard and enable aieplane mode. check if it reboots or lverhears
the round antena wires come loose afaik. i ordered a new set lf antenas and replaced them. phone is much cooler and i get better reception and battery life
I'm running the stock android 6.0.1 which I flashed.
It detects the SIM but doesn't get a signal,
I checked and the wires are not loose, maybe I will order the antenna wires as a last resort.
If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to tell me

Is your GPS working? My Nexus5 have same issue as yours plus GPS is Dead too. After some search I found that the GSM chip is the same of GPS so I think the problem is the chip itself.
