The touch screen on my phone does not work anymore. This is an HTC Vogue (XV6900 - Verizon version), and it will not accept anymore touch input. All the buttons work fine and the screen still displays everything perfectly, I just cannot touch to advance. I flashed to a new ROM thinking maybe it just lost its brains, and needed a reset, but now I cannot get past the screen you have to touch to begin, where it says "Touch the Android to Begin".
Is there any way to bypass this? I tried putting a Windows Mobile ROM back on, but it has the same kind of initial setup...you cannot do anything until you touch the screen. Is there a way to get around the Android touch to begin screen? (or Windows if you happen to know...I just need my phone back!)
Thanks
*bump* anyone?

As states, the TOUCH SCREEN is broken, so I do not need instructions on where to touch the screen - please reread the original post.

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...

Seems your digitizer is gone.
Connect the device in active sync and then try MSP remote allignment.
Use search button, hope you'll find it...

maybe the problem is that you dont tap at the screen right.
i had a similar problem before
look closer into the cross, you will see a white dot
tap right into the center and i think that will solve your problem
you just gotta be precise
I had the problem before. You need to change the touch screen,it cost about 20$
Try to shift the screen from horizontal to vertical (i had the same problem with an old rom)
It is hardware failure,that's all.I got one Alpine - xdaIIi like that.

buddy your touch sensor is gone.....i have the same issue......here's what you need to do:
Option 1: connect your phone to your pc via activesync, explore to windows directory and delete / rename the file called welcome.exe
Option 2: create a blank file on you pc called welcome.not and place it on the root of your storage card.
Option 3: use the MSP remote alignment.
Some people say event turning the device off then on again will kill the align screen but i can't say cause i haven't tried it.
after you're setup and all good, there would still be some applications that require a 'touch' some place....for that, since you (and i) don't have a touch screen anymore, the best thing to do is to get a MOUSE on your ppc
virtual mouse attached below.....just assign a hardware button to it to turn it on or off at will.....i use backlight button for it.....
P.S: was having some probs in uploading so i've renamed the file to .zip. just rename to .rar if you have problems extracting it
enjoy and PM me if you face anymore problems.
cheers
Hi junooni ,
I hv the same problem with my XDA IIs, and now my phone has been sitting in my drawer for 1 months.
Just some question, the above option that you stated above. After going through your option will the phone still be useable. I mean after that can i still used the phone to make a call since i need to use a remote mouse.
And also do i need to use activesync and connect it to my PC everything i need to use my XDA.
try taking out sim & memory card
i was also stuck on that.. this is how i got it solved, take out sim & memory card and to do it you need to take battery out as sim is under battery then hold two softkeys and reset button at same time and press 0 instead of x . now you should be able to go pass the align screen.... hopefully it helped....
Well.. it didn't help to me.. How can I browse windows directory via activesync? Am I so stupid or it's just invisible or what?

Think he means winmo 6.5x too tired to explain,someone help the guy out
Older version of winmo6.5 have start icon on top left, newer ones have it on a bottom bar, so is the ok button and all the others. Is this what you are trying to say?
No way to change it unless you flash a new rom.
No way to flash a new rom without HSPL.
Good luck!
Yeah I'm guessing he is talking about 6.5X v 6.5 as well.
If your start menu is in the upper left corner of your screen you have 6.5
If you have the start menu in the lower left corner of your screen you have 6.5x.
While they are pretty much the same operating system, they are very much different.
It is possible to change the top and bottom bars with a cab, but it is not possible to put the 6.5x soft bar on the 6.5 op system or visa versa.
here is a link to a post with different top and bottom soft keys you might be able to try.
I hope this helps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642832
Did you get the bottom softbar changed like you wanted?
What phone do you have?
What windows version? 6.5xxx or 6.5 or ?
What ROM Version?
You can find all this in your settings under About Phone...Software Information
no im gonna try right now and i will let u know and thank everyone so much for helping me on other sites i dnt even get a reply so agin thank u guys
and its a 6.5 i guess my start is in the uper left hand side is that good or bad
and ive already tried at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642832 and i downloaded some and its not showing up at all it does ask to soft reset my phone like all other downloads and i did it but its not showing up
The supposedly more stable "COM2"/6.5 builds are what your phone's OS is from.
There are a different branch, "COM5"/6.5.x, which offer a more finger-friendly User Interface and have a different layout (start button is on bottom left corner on a taller bottom bar).
The link you provided, however, is for 6.5 builds and does work for your phone. Maybe you need to go into Start>Settings>Home and change the theme there.
I don't customise the graphics that much on my phone so I'm not sure if that's all that's necessary or if that's the correct method but it shouldn't hurt to try

It's there just need to do another step to get it to show up...
Go to Settings/menu-All settings/today.
Pic a wall paper and then touch OK.
then go back to Today, and select T-moble (or your default paper). then close it out to your today screen. The soft bar should be there now.
Cheers!
yes your richt thank u so much

Hee,
it wont come up? i did everything you said a couple times but nothing changed...
I'm new to Android so haven't worked out all the nuances of the OS yet.
Twice in the last fortnight, while intending to simply unlock my device....I've not been presented with the normal Sense Home Screen but a strange screen which is black faded at the top and bottom and in the middle shows the icons for all the running applications (in the same sort of way that Alt-Tab does of windows)
What is this screen? what use is it? How can I intentionally get it to come up?
Many Thanks for any assistance.
Thats for holding the home button in for more than 1 second. Why it shows up when unlocking I don't know, maybe its your grip?

Cheers, must have just been the way that I swiped it then! very useful!
Hi, this is my first post as I only recently got my Infinity after getting a refund for my Prime. Presently I am running Stock ROM with Jelly Bean and it is rooted but not unlocked.
After the Jelly Bean update I noticed that while on the home screen I could longer change from screen to screen by touching along the edge of the screen instead I had to do the swipe action in order for it to change. Here's a picture to show what I'm talking about:
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...c2a86d1cf64/508863d2/1/4/2/8/0/0/9/Screen.jpg
Those red boxes are the areas that when you normally touch along there the screen switches either to the left or right one. Strangely, after a fresh boot up it, touching those areas works but as soon as I go into the menu area and return back to the home screen it no longer functions. Also if i should rotate the tablet to portrait and then back to landscape the ability to do the touch returns until I go back into the menu again.
Anyone else having this problems? Any idea what could be wrong? I did 2 factory resets with no help. Help, Please!
Thanks.
Oh I don't know. The people here, maybe? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917222&
There's this bar at the top right of the screen. It says "Search". Clicking the gear behind it allows you to select the TF700 forum only. Please use it, people here have little patience with those who do not search first.

Sorry. I did search for this problem first but I only looked in the Q&A section as I didn't think It would be in the General Section. Thanks for finding the existing thread. Hopefully there'll be an update fix for this soon.
