HTC TP will not align - endless cycle
 

My Verizon VX6850 HTC TP first began to inaccurately respond to touch commands that were so minor I thought it was my clumbsy pointing. Became progressively worse.

Tried soft reset, re-alignment no change. Finally and reluctantly did a hard RS. However, now after Win 6.1 start screen I cannot progess beyond the Align window. Endless cycle of screen tapping - I've tapped with and w/o sytlus, slowly, quickly, in lanscape mode, on and on.

Nothing works, other fuctions seemed to be predicated on the completion of Alignment. For now phone is useless. Any ideas?

Sorry folks, a misspelled word in my initial posting - a friend pointed out to me, is not an editorial it is simply a typo - the word should be FUNCTIONS

Do you use a screen protector?

Re: HTC TP will not align - endless cycle
 

I get that occasionally as well with my Verizon TP...sometimes I would go thru it 10 or 15 times...I reflashed the ROM and it worked like the 3rd time thru the alignment sequence...

patience perseverance beats frustration every time.

This happens to me on my VZW TP with either the stock ROM or Mighty 6 -- with a screen protector -- what I find finally works is to hold the stylus on the cross hair until it moves...

Great! I'm new to this. How do I re flash the ROM?

it's also possible that your screen's touch layers has loose connectors--which is normally unnoticeable. that means you should just go get it replaced if you are still under warranty. this happened to me a few days ago and i got a replacement with no problem.

Use remote screen alignment. Great little utility.

It won't fix anything if your touch screen is actually messed up, but it will get you past the alignment screen.

Nice post. Haven't seen that before.

Happened to me also.. make sure you're using the stylus and not your finger.

Re: HTC TP will not align - endless cycle
 

This is caused by a tiny spec of dust or something inside the screen. If there is any... ANY applied pressure (even if not visible) on any part of the screen, then the place you touch will be misaligned due to the original applied touch. If you can't get it replaced, simply open up your TP (use the SEARCH feature there is someone here who wrote an "essay" on the subject.
After opening it up, remove the screens' plastic protector (what you touch when the phone is on) and clean it... Also, very very carefully clean the actual LCD screen...
Nothing else will fix this...
Unless of course you can get past the Align screen and then figure out (metrically) how many pixels you have to regedit... So that the phone can change its capacitive response... Mind you that the TP uses 4 corner dots to determine the center of the pressure being applied. This is a very big "unless of course"... lol:violent2:

^most likly the issue. i know with a instinct when a customer report touch screen problems we scrap dirt out the side of the screen.works like a charm

Re: HTC TP will not align - endless cycle
 

This is useless in my case. I hard reset and I cannot get passed the screen alignment so there is no way I can install this.

Re: HTC TP will not align - endless cycle
 

It installs on your computer buddy. You run it on your computer, it implants the alignment information via activesync (which will have been established at that point, even if you can't get past alignment) and then you reboot your phone. Voila, no alignment.

Try before you complain that it wouldn't work for you. :angry7:

bring that sucker in to get replaced, i had mine replaced about a month ago, screen was all messed up. i walked into the sprint store, they ordered one within 15min, next day i had a new one

Re: HTC TP will not align - endless cycle
 

KK. I will try. U did not make it clear. LOL

Re: HTC TP will not align - endless cycle
 

Would this cause a screen to twitch rapidly and not respond to touch input at all (or if any, just sliding the screen one way and then snapping back)? My phone has been driving me nuts for the past couple days doing this. On the TF3D page, it'll twitch and hover between any of 2 tabs, or fling all the way to programs, or keep the home icon selected (over the top of the clock). On the start menu, it'll slide to the extreme top or bottom, and sometimes flings icons around.

Extremely irritating, lemme tell you. I had it apart but didn't think to check the back of the screen ](*,) just figured it was a connector issue somewhere.

Some roms already have the alignment cooked in... :)

But I would RMA it
