[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eynanm:
hey all

I have read almost all this thread.

I'm quite sure it's a software problem because:

1. It happend only when I have flashed a new rom (Elinux cm7 2.3)

2. Downgrading to Android 2.2 made my screen's sensitivity better

3. After some time I succeed to push the button.

4. My keyboard is o.k, i can press all the letters

5. I'm not able to press buttons only at specific apps for example: the right bottom button on iGO, the mount button (when I connect my Hero to the usb)

etc.)

all those things lead me to think it's a software problem although all what written above.

Befor I'm trying the "hairdryer" way I want to be sure that it's hardware problem.

What do you think? someone else have the same issues??

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hello you:
Didn't last too long for me. I'm now at the stage where the bottom of my screen hasn't work for about three months. I done the hairdryer thing with success for about ten times then it just didn't make any difference.

My whole screen now does mad things, sometimes even swiping the lock off takes ages and I have use the trackball for most things.

It happens but seen that it's a common thing on the HTC Hero. I'm out of warranty but will never buy a HTC phone again, not that they'll be arsed.

Getting a Samsung Galaxy S2 in a couple of weeks so not long to go.

Again.......same problem

I like most people have this problem. I've tried the hair dryer trick a couple of times, tried loads of different ROMs including official, and I have even replaced the digitizer/front touchscreen. This replacement fixed the problem for a while, but then came back after about a month. I have no idea what the problem could be, but I have just given up on this phone, which is about a year and a half old now. Was good while it lasted but not worth the hassle anymore. Im going back to my trusty and reliable Nokia N82 :) It's clear this is a very common fault from HTC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max2000:
working again, the question is how long

well, I just wanted you to know. I managed my touchscreen to work again.

I bought a new one from china (via ebay), it worked for 4-5 month, than I had the same symthoms again. Now I have taken my phone apart again, and reinserted the old touchscreen.

What I did, I cleaned all the glue from the phone and the touchscreen very nice. there are just a few spot to hold it in place. I have to find a special glue now to put the parts permanently together.

The second thing ist, the little chip from the touchscreen, which is placed on the back of the LCD has two small chopper areas - I made them to firmly press on the back of the LCD - now it´s working again.

I´ll keep you informed how long....

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwardng:
same thing happened on my hero

I still don't know how much do i need to repair faulty digitizer?

Can anyone post up the price and is it worth to repair it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaspal93:
Hey edwardng, from my experience replacing the digitizer has not helped. The problem seemed to have disappeared for about a month, and then came back. I paid £30 for a new digitizer which I replaced myself using tutorials online. Since then I have opened the phone more than a few times, but no luck fixing the problem, although the touch seems to be the most unresponsive when laying the phone down on a table. Connection problem maybe? I honestly have no idea. I haven't heard of any reliable fix for this phone.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marchard:
What kind of glue is the question

Hey Max!

Can you please describe what you mean with chopper area? (sorry, i'm not a native and couldn't find a plausible translation).

And to make it clear: you pressed the touchscreen out of the aluminum frame, cleaned all glue away and used your own glue to reinsert it again? Can you please describe that part in more details? What glue did you used? On what places did you applied the glue?

I have same problems here. I'm just about ordering a new touchscreen, but there are so many reports, that a new touchscreen will not help or will help just a few months. And all the other reports in this thread and others make me think, that is has something to do with the glue respectively the connection/distance from touchscreen to frame.

So, please report what kind of glue you have used. THANKS!

Bye, Marc.

Edit: That a touchscreen is most unresponsive when laying on isolating ground is totally normal. TS work with electrostatic fields and need some conducting ground, like your hand. This phenomenon can also be seen with working TS in other devices. With some devices more, with others less...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max2000:
changed touchscreen

Hi marchard!

Well, I replaced the touchscreen - which means you have to push it out of the aluminum (or what ever material it is) frame.

There will be some of the adhesive tape on the "old" touchscreen and some on the frame.

Normally that is enough that the new touchscreen holds in place. (For replacing check youtube for videos).

I already found some adhesive tape from 3M 2mm wide on eBay, I think I will order some to test it. The only "problem" they sell only 50cm. I would be interessted in a whole wheel, as I guess I will need this type of tape again for other stuff.

What I did, I removed almost all of the tape. As it was not the same thickness around the whole frame. - Maybe thats a problem for the capacitive touchscreen then. For a regulare capacity the distance from one plate to the other really matters.

The other thing is, the small controller board of the touch screen. On two edges it has this chopper field (in German: goldene/Kupfer-Kontaktfläche). What I think, this is the point, where you "build up" the capacity for the whole system. One part or better the one plate is the LCD, so I made sure there is a good connection to the LCD back panel. But I am not completly sure about this, for me it worked. At least for now.

And one more thing I read in the net. To test the touchscreen, take a simple drawing program, and draw lines diagonal, than you can see if the touchscreen is working properly or which area is not working.

Watch the video on this site:

www|funkyspacemonkey|com/touch-screen-accuracy-stress-test-iphone-droid-htc

Sorry, I am not allowed to post links, so replace the | with .

Before I have done my second attemp, I was not able to draw nice lines in the lower part of the screen, now everything works fine!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poults:
Mine seems to be less responsive depending what ROM i have flashed aswell. Official t-mobile rom (1.5) works fine, now on Elelinux 7.1.0 v 2.1 and i have the problem, not continuously but it doesnt always like to play :) Got my upgrade in a week though so i can put up with it until then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marchard:
Thanks Max for the fast reply!

Yesterday i disassembled the Hero (according to this instructions). Just for doing it. And of course for cleaning. I had the hope that there will be some dust or something. But it helped nothing. Perhaps it is even a little worse, than before.

So you removed all of the old adhesive tape? And then what? Because you haven't got new tape you tested the touchscreen without tape? Or you used pieces of the old tape? Please clarify.

I think we should clearly distinguish this two things:

- there is some black adhesive tape, on the frame, where the touchscreen lays on

- there is some black rubber, perhaps for sealing purposes, which sourounds the touchscreen and fills up the gap between screen and frame, since screen is a little bit smaller than the hole in the frame.

You agree?

Did you something with this rubber? Mine was not in a good condition, but i#m not sure, which impact it has on responsiveness.

Later on, i will post perhaps a screen shot. In the beginning i had one single stripe near the bottom of the screen that was unresponsive. Than there was a second stripe area above the first one, which was as unresponsive as the first one. And now, finally after cleaning yesterday, there is a third stripe of that kind... (you will understand when i post this screen shot). Unfortunately i read about your copper contacts too late (i thinks it's copper, not chopper ;) ). But i will go into that again. But also i ordered a "new" used digitizer on ebay. hmm... we will see.

Until now i did my testing with "Multitouch Visualizer 2", but yeah, drawing this lines like in the video you posted is also good.

OK, let's figure that out together...

Bye, Marc.

Edit: Here are two pictures drawn with the method used in the moto dev video (moving the finger straight linear and diagonal over the touch screen). For that i used "Draw(er)"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] see_u_then:
How do I get the images inside slideshow to auto-rotate based on the orientation of the phone? I mean, when I rotate the phone, the image inside a slideshow does not rotate? I want to rotate it to landscape/portrait.

I have tried changescreen and have created exception for htcalbum. Although thumbnails of images inside a album do rotate as I move the phone, but when I start slideshow then the images will not rotate. Any way to do this?

Also I tried Dotfred's Taskmanager and applied GSensor.reg file. It also rotates most of the apps, but htcalbum still has the same problem. I could not figure out how to do this.

I will also like to know if there is a way to undo changes made by importing GSensor.reg file?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
theres been alot of talk about this. theres just no rotation support in album 3. if your looking at the album itself and not a photo, it does rotate. so the program knows its rotating and ignores the command to do it. i dont know why htc did this, it was a key feature on the original touch pro. ask for the registry edits, you can go into hkcu\software\htc\htcsensor (doing it from memory, my phone is too far away to check this) and delete what you dont want up.
[Touch HD General] salv90:
I need the wvga version right?

I am only asking this cos I finally fancy getting a couple of games for my hd (real football manager mostly) and I dont wanna waste my cash. I look on the sites where they sell them and the justlist them as available for htc, not even saying if you need buttons or not.

I mean will the games on omniahub site be compatible with my hd?
[Touch HD General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
WVGA is the resolution you're looking for. (thought I'd keep it simple :))

Most games made these days will not "require" the use of hardware buttons as they also support touch navigation/usage.
[Touch HD General] salv90:
Excellent. Thank you ever so much for the simple answere.

So I can assume games that work on the omnia will also work on my hd?
[Touch HD General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
They should. I'd just do a little research on each game to make sure. The reason being is because the original Omnia's resolution is only wqvga, not wvga. I've tried a couple games from the omnia on a wvga screen and they worked fine (the visual quality is just a bit lower).
[Touch HD General] salv90:
right will chance it. thanks to all

Tu verra Froguette le HTC HD3 sera sortie et toujours pas d'animes
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Super Octet:
If you connect your HD2 via activsync and explore the Windows folder, you'll find a folder called " Animated Wallpapers ", or something like that.

The three animated wallpapers that you can find in Sense are in it, they're .gif but I did not manage to get one of my own gif working in sense...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] utopies:
? I saw them, but they are in .png (and .raw), aren't they?

Pas simple!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 2ieu666:
Screens animated==> PNG + animation (but what format??manila) + a script that gathers all (but where is it? and how to edit?)

Enfin une réponse!!! Yes froguette. :) toujours pas de solution, mais c'est toujours ça. :)

[Touch Pro CDMA] deepsix_69:
I have 2 touch pro's I decided to try flashing one of them, and if I didnt brick it, I would do the other. I have been successful with 3 different win 6.5 roms, but what I noticed was every ROM I flashed with, made me lose cell service. I can put the stock phone next to the flashed phone, and have only 2 bars and 1x. The stock has 4 bars and EVDO. I havent done anything with the radio. They are both the same. I have compared the EPST stuff and they all look the same still.

Is there something I am forgetting?
[Touch Pro CDMA] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Well, one thing to keep in mind is that different ROMs may use different network indicators up top. Some might show a maximum of only 4 bars, and some might make them so skinny that they show 7. It doesn't make your coverage any different. Also remember, unless you're flashing the stock ROM, the radio isn't included in custom ROMs. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 20mihalko:
Since lot of users can have some problems, i created how to change xt9 language. some can find this quite usefull :)

you don`t need to install any other files, it is just a little bit of reg editing :)

1. you must check value here

\HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\DefaultLanguage

for wwe rom it should be hex 0109 (dec 259) (it depends on your rom)

2.find here your default hex number (should be 0109 for wwe)

\HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\LdbFiles\

in this directory are keys with string value like XXIsUN_xt9.ldb

for wwe at 0109 it is supposed to be ENIsUN_xt9.ldb (it depends on your rom)

change first two letters by language you want (warning, this codes can be assigned bad, i am guessing it from alpha2, pm me, if you have different opinion):

AR - Argentina

CS - Czech Republic

DA - Denmark

DE - Germany

EL - Greece

ES - Spain

FI - Finland

FR - France

HU - Hungaria

IT - Italy

NL - Netherlands

NO - Norway

PL - Poland

PT - Portugal

RO - Rumunia

RU - russia

SK - Slovakia

SV - Sweden

TR - Turkey

soft reset device, and it should work. feedback appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] def0:
Thanks, didn't know. I can add no reset is needed, and the number in defaultlanguage is decimal value of the preffered language (definition is in hex).

Now the libraries without diacritical marks would be useful :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] GSC2K8:
Hi, I'm trying to do this for Turkish. I used:

HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ldbfiles\11F = TRlsUN_xt9.ldb

I can see Turkish in the language list but the selection does not change when I click on it. It works for other languages though. Any ideas why?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] danusko:
hi, pls how can i do this?

i tried it with registry editor but i miss the last 2 values.

It is neccessary to write it there or i have bad vs? i have rom 43 not 48, because i dont know, where can i download it.

thx bro :) SR me too O2, me too.

Is it only a matter of reg edit? No aditional files needed? I'm looking for portuguese T9. Some cabs for other devices dont seem to work on Leo.

Anyone solved this one?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 20mihalko:
check first post, a have added how to change your language
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pdgpereira:
I followed your steps. In addition to that I added 0816 to the ...et9\availablelanguage, so as to have an additional entry on language selection, then soft reset the device.

Portuguese doesn't appear on the list, just "unknown". Keyboard layout on compact QWERTY changes to Portuguese layout but predictive test remains English.

Windows folder does have the PTIsUN_xt9.ldb. Any thoughts?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 20mihalko:
point is, that value, where is linked your language file at dir LdbFiles must be set in DefaultLanguage, and must be into availablelanguage... check your defaultlanguage value... be sure you are writing it in HEX
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pdgpereira:
I did! They all match. I was using a Portuguese XT9 for Niki. It seemed to work fine, only some times strange stuff happens like only numbers will be written instead of the letters on a single quick press. I've seen on other topics some additional reg changes. I'm now wondering if it is possible to change to any language from any rom since some files could be missing in WWE, not allowing me to apply you steps to get Portuguese.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] c0rp1:
How about other languages, that are not on this list ???

Do I need to edit the default (English) XT9? Because I still want to keep that one! I just want to add the Dutch library, not remove one for another.

Or do I misunderstand :X.

Can I just add a String value, with my own name and data in the reg? Like 012E NLIsUN_xt9.ldb?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] XTREEM|RAGE:
You can't make up your own String value, with the correct data value. Because I would get an unknown XT9 and none of the other XT9 language worked after that one. I have searched the forums and found the number that I needed to use: 0113 :)

If you are returning your HTC device to warranty it´s much better to send it with original ROM, otherwise you can have any ROM you want :cool:

Your warranty does not cover your phone if flashed with custom ROM as you have modified it... If you want to take back with a custom ROM then do so and yes you may get an easy swap or you may get exactly the opposite a decline of warranty.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstat:
So ill be getting my dream back tomorrow, maybe tuesday. I shipped it off last monday for repair, the board was replaced and was shipped back very quickly, im surprised at how fast the repair has gone, so, im looking for a stable ROM to run. I ruined the last boared with the 'danger spl' so im afraid of flashing it again. I bought a class 4 4gig sd, i am going to order a class six soon, but im going for something that is good for everyday use. I used hero months ago with my first G1, wasnt too impressed, cupcake is to bland i think, and i cannot run anything like eclair because i have such a low class card. Should i just stick with 1.6 for now? Like i said, im looking for very stable and good for everyday use, ive been considering Cyanogens newest, but i havnt gotten the chance to read much about it. Im not trying to make a "Which ROM is better thread" theres thousands out there. My problem with cyanogen is a believe i read the camera does not work on the thread? correct me if im wrong but i constantly use the camera, i kinda need it ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
You kind of confused me but all of cyanogen roms have working camers.You must be thinking of hero 2.1 roms or eclair since 2.0 doesnt have the camera drivers for G1 yet.
