TyTN : problem with the touch screen

Hi,
I've just received my TyTN today and I'm not very satisfied concerning the touch screen.
I don't know what is happening but the touch screen does NOT respond properly. I've tried to clean it a bit, but the result remains the same.
When I want to use the screen keyboard, it's horrible. I point the letter A and the screen understands that I'm touching the letter under or the letter just near the "A". It's pretty impossible to write a text properly and very hard to open programs or browse with the touch screen.
Of course I've tried to align the screen. It's working without any problem then.
But after some times, opening apps, closing others (using normally the pda inf act), the problem comes back... the TyTN does't really understand where I'm touching the screen.
Then I make a screen alignement, and it's working back... It's just amazing
I don't think it's a hardware problem because the alignement is working after an align screen.
Maybe it's a known error ? Has somebody the same problem ??
Is there a rom update to fix that ? Or is it a problem of my own HTC ?
Thanks !
Can you help me please ?.

Hi,
I don't have this issue with mine...
Check the "TnTN/v1604 problem" topic maybe

I had the same thing, once, with my variO. Probably I pushed too hard onto the screen while cleaning.

Actually, this is a known problem with some of the first shipment devices. Look at the other TyTn topics i this forum.

Lost my red disconnect/hang up button

Hi,
I lost the function of my disconnect or hang up button, the red hardware one on the side of the device.
Does anybody knows the registry entry for this button.
I do have HKLM\Software\oem\Keys but i think there is not this one.
The key just does nothing anymore, the green one works fine.
Thanks for helping,
Thomas

may be its a hardware screwup... did u drop ur exec ??

its allright again...
To my shame, I did not push strong enough several times... It works but needs to be pushed strongly. After breakfast it was much easier ;-)
So thanks, but IT WORKS!!
If I would know how to close a thread I would do so...

Thought my button was spoint too, but didn't push hard enough too.
Glad you manage to solve the problem, with some "energy". haha.

me, too...

I think there is a registry tweak but i am unable to find it.

all it needs is a restart!
this happens to my device sometimes that one of both of the keys stop functioning... they get fine after having a restart...

Cruise cannot be turned off

I installed several programs on my Cruise and unfortunately the device cannot be turned off anymore.
If I hold the button on top of the device and hold it, you get the message that you are turning the device off....but it puts it in hibernate....
I don't really know which program caused the problem, since I seldom turn my phone off. So in the 2 weeks I have the phone, I tried to turn it off only once.
In the beginning the button worked...but now...not anymore.
I know I can try a hard reset, but I am reluctant...since I have to install everything again.
The software I installed were:
SBSH PocketBreeze (uninstalled it)
PZP tools (uninstalled it)
BatteryStatus Advanced
SPB Diary
HTC Home Customizer
At least these are the programs of which I think could have caused the problem.
Does anybody know how to correct this, without hardresetting?

Same situation for me .....
Maybe HTC HomeCustomizer ???

you can try soft reseting the device with the stylus and see once it is back on if the problem persists. then u might want to try uninstalling the last application u installed to see if it makes a difference.

I have used HTC Home Customizer and do not have this problem. Have you tried a short double press of the power button? Sounds like the long press power off works by your descriptions. You may also want to check if xpshut will work for you.

I tried xpshut also with no results, now after hardresetting seems it's all ok. If the situation will repeat i'll write it in this thread, thanks mates

Problem seems to be resolved
The problem seems to be HTCHome v2.1 necessary for HHCustomizer to work. I installed it and i'm not able to turn off the device, after uninstalled it's all ok.

At least there is someone to share this inconvenience. Glad to hear you found out what caused it....however, does your Home Customizer still work?

No, it doesn't work without HTCHome v2.1

Keypad service
There's also a service, keypad, that if stopped, disables all buttons. Not sure if this applies to you or not, but I had stopped it on my TC by accident, and had the same issue you described.

UK WWE ROM

Screen won't turn on after it fades?

Hey, I've got a weird problem, my Fuze won't turn on once it fades after not using it. I've tried to press all the buttons and it won't work, I have to physically slide the qwerty keyboard out in order to make my screen reappear again. Does anyone else have this issue and is there a resolution?
I have a flashed Fuze with the TiR v8R WWE ROM on it

kinda obvious, but have you tried the power button at the top?

I've seen the same thing on the TP (European, stock WWE) that I'm testing. No matter what button you press, the unit will not 'wake up'. I hadn't tried sliding the keyboard -- I'd just automatically reached for the stylus to press the Soft Reset, which got it going again.

Apparently, there's another whole thread of other people with this problem.

Yes, actually, that wakes it up as well, but it is very annoying to have to press the power button every single time I want to check my phone. I thought, being a touch phone, that a simple fingertouch would awaken it. I can receive calls but the screen won't turn on so I have no clue who is calling. Could it be a radio issue? Would installing another radio help? This is bugging me to no end

I'm still having this problem anyone have any ideas

Mirrored screen problem

Hi everybody!
I'm having problems with my Pocket PC.
It all begun a while ago, when a part of my screen stopped working (didn't respond to touches). So I did a hard reset. Then, it wouldn't pass the Align Screen procedure. So I made a file on the Pocket PC root folder called welcome.not - and it worked, the welcome screen was bypassed.
Now, however, everything on the screen is mirrored. Not the image on the screen but the response to my touches. So when I press the upper right corner with my stylus, it reacts in the lower left - and reverse, across the whole screen.
What I want now is of course a state like before the hard-reset. I can accept a part of the screen not working, but I want something at least to be useable.
I think this would be easily fixed by just running Align Screen, but that doesn't work - it gets stuck in a infinite loop.
Maybe there are some Align Screen "profiles" to place in the windows folder/registry?
I'm using a HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise.

might it be a ROM problem?

Maybe, though I think the problem is that the screen is completely unaligned and therefore is totally wierd.
What I think I need is:
1. An application to browse the PPC registry from a desktop PC
2. Sceen align data to put in in the registry (I've read somewhere else that that data is stored in the registry)
Or, maybe I'm wrong
In case it is a rom problem, can I solve it easily in any way?

well to be honest, the first thing i'd do is switch a ROM... unless it's a ROM you got from XDA and is well-known..
if the rom switching doesn't work, i'd download a pda control app like MyMobiler or SOTI Pocket Controller to fix this. maybe you have hardware problems with your screen..
I don't know where the screen alignment data sits in the registry but i'm sure you can find it on this forum. if you manage to change and it still doesn't work... maybe replac ea screen? there's a marketplace section in which you might be able to buy spare parts.. and there are guide on dismantling so you can replace the screen yourself

Well, I havn't got much knowledge on how to do these things... Could I get a brief explanation?
I know what ROM is and so on... but how to switch it... hmm...

I'm sorry, can't help you with that.. i'm not familiar with the iPaq... but I understand that you never switched a ROM so it's probably the original one.. and you shouldn't have a problem with it.
try aligning your screen using the registry.. if it doesn't work.. i'd go with replacing a screen.

Yeah, I would also like to align the screen using the registry - but how? I need to know some values to input, right? And as far as I know they need to be specific for my model
So how?

maybe you can contact HP and ask them?
