I talked to one other person that had this same issue.
He only had it w/ a rom that had a registry setting for the screen alignment.
Are there any custom registry settings you're using for alignment?
One possible fix is to delete the registry setting from the phone, and re-align.
Maybe that will keep them from changing back.
Here is the registry location
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH
Delete the key called "CalibrationData".
Reset your phone, and then re-align.
By the way, a quick way to get to the re-align screen is to push the center of the joystick and the windows key at the same time.

Clean the Corners...
 

There is another thread on this (search on digitizer) but one possible solution is to carefully take a sheet of paper and clean the lint between the case and the screen, being careful not to get it stuck around the corners... This solved my problem for a long time (until I droped the PDA and the top half of my screen was permanently mis-alligned... Thank you Sprint for TEP ;) )

Good Luck...

I'd agree - usually some small amount of gunk in the edge there causes misreads of the touchscreen.

I had the same issue - cleaned between the screen and case with the edge of something and it cleared up a lot. Still not perfect, but a LOT better

I have had the same screen alignment issue. I cleaned wirh paper, so we shall see if that works. I did find there was a fair amount of buildup.

I am still having the alignment issue so I deleted the registry setting listed above and reset then realigned. Hopefullt this will help.

trying to clean some buildup...found so many of it...black ..and dusty..hope it will on my phone thanks for all suggestion i'll try the reg edit later after going home from work

thanks RX8 this is remembering me that i didn't find this miss alignment issue when using verizonguy WM6 version...but still wanna build my own rom with build os....
@Psiphi :I've give it a try..it has been 5ours since i clear the "lint " between the casing and the touch screen...it work very nice i don't have any more miss alignment issue. :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: hope fully it'll last long ....Thanks alot....
Thanks bro Schettj this seem my problem solver....
try to clean more may be using "C" formed Cartoon, choose the hard one..maybe some buildup still stuck under your casing....
Try Rx 8 advise..but i hvn't try it i just wanna try the solution one by one so that i would know the source of the problem.please share to us if you had fix your problem bro Ga THANKS ...

Big mistake
 

Please help me again..the problem come back to my phone ....](*,)](*,)](*,)
I've try the two tricks mentioned above but the problem come back now....
I've cleared dusty gunk under the cover...and i've done the registry editing..it only last for a few ours now my phone have the miss alignment issue again..
Please help Me (us) this is the only problem that i hate about my phone, the rest are make me really love this phone and won't move to another one..
Thanks in advance again any suggest is appreciated.

If the alignment won't "keep" then its most likely a hardware problem. It's not software, and there's nothing else short of getting the screen replaced that will fix a bad touch sensor.

I didn't mention That i've replaced my Screen bundle yet (the touch screen sensor and the LCD) with second screen bundle ...now only the engine i havn't replace yet....now trying to go back to verizonguy rom....hopefully it works..
Thanks Schettj
Waiting some more suggestion......it's just me or...some one else with me??????????????????????????

Guys I tried psiphi's solution and it works!! Thanks psiphi! MY ppc6700 was always going out of alignment especially on the right side so I cleaned the right side with a thin sheet of paper under the plastic. A good explanation for that maybe that, if dirt gets stuck in there, it will force your screen downward at the right side and the actual contact of the screen will take place at an offset position rather than the intended position.

Thanks you all guys
Now my alignment goes well..
So far i conclude that the buildup under the front case was the source of the miss alignment issue.
Once again Thanks
PROBLEM SOLVED

That worked for me too. No more issues. I folded the paper into a point and cleaned the corners which completely eliminated my problem.

Nice work FastRX8. After I replaced touchscreen on Xda 2 I had serious problems with screen alignment. I downloaded Resco registry editor and followed your instructions and it fixed this serious glitch. Many thanks.=D>

Re: (WTA)XV6700 screen alignment always change
 

Sometimes screen protectors that are placed under the plastic may cause this issue. it did me. So using Fellows WriteRight screen protectors I made it a hair smaller than the screen and it works perfectly.
