Tungsten T digitizer problem

Every time I open my Tungsten T, the digitizer is off and I have to recalibrate. Will AutoDigi 5 help, or is it like Digifix, only working after a soft reset?

Welcome to the Forum. There some things you can try , I will start with the easy one.
If you have a screen protector that may be what is causing the problem. I have read posts that removing the screen protector and cleaning the rim of the screen with a piece of plain copy paper can solve some screen problems. Residue from the screen protector, dust, or grit can build up and cause a false tap. Also an air bubble under the screen protector can cause a false tap. Test the screen, if its works okay, put a new screen protector on, making sure you don't have any bubbles.
If that doesn't help, recently, five or six members have reported success with file called Power Digiv 2, which they downloaded at www.palmpowerups.com . You don't have to click "Buy", you can download the trial version to your computer and install, and then the next time you Hotsync your digitizer problem will be fixed. They say it is amazing. One Forum member was so impressed that he went ahead and purchased it for $16.95, incase his digitizer went out again and said it was well worth it. When you are at the palmpowerups site click the word "Download" under the third button that PowerDiGi. (Others who may read this please note it does not work on Treos, Power DiGi only works with screen resolutions of 320 X 480.)
If that doesn't help, it means your touch screen/digitizer is going out and problem will get to the point that bottom of the screen (Status Bar and keyboard) won't respond to the stylus and writing in note pad just makes scribbles all over the screen. You can get replacements at www.usedpdaparts.com and for $10.00 they will install it. You also get replacements at www.pdaparts.com and they have directions and videos for installing them yourself.
I had the touch screen/digitizer replaced in one of my T3's, but I didn't know about PowerDiGi back then. Next time, I am going to try it. Best of luck and let us know how you do.

Palm Tungsten - Screen Digitizer

No device
I have a Palm Tungsten PDA. I have not used it in three years. Recently I charged the battery and tried to operate it. It asks me to tap a bullseye circle to set the screen digitizer. It will not accept a tap anywhere on the screen. The reset button also does not work. How can I get beyond this and to some old contacts stored inside?

There is a multi-page thread "stickied" at the top of this board which covers pretty much every cause and fix of digitizer issues:

Multichannel stream to disk high speed digitizer problem

Hi,
I'm trying to write a code for managing a PXI-5105 high speed digitizer as a multichannel data streamer to disk.
I found the code example on niscope folder (version 3.0) for a single channel datastreaming that works fine. I tried to modify this code,
according to directions included into the code for multichannel acquisition, but it fails. I wrote to NI support and they confirm that my code has to work.
For clarifying better my question, I include my code.
I'm a quite new labview user, I know that my code is not easy to read, but I hope that someone has already encountered my problem and may help me.
Best regards
Paolo

Hi Matthieu,
thanks for your attention to my problem.
The program runs, but it dispays only the first acquisition (first loop), and after there are no data acquired.
Using the single channel mode it works fine, you see a continuous acquisition on display and on disk.
I'm suspecting that there is a problem in the loop where I acquire fresh data (Using the lamp I haven't any data from the Niscope I-16 multichannel block, except for the first run where I get the first data).
I hope this clarify better the situation.
Best regards
Paolo

Skipping Timecode/Batch Digitize problem

This just started to happen to me. I do a batch and it self aborts because the timecode is not continious. The tapes are good, the playback gear is good, the FCP software randomly selects areas and "skips". Only recently when I digitize using "uncontrollable device" it digests the video.
Before it would'nt even take that input.
I've been batch capturing without an issue the past six months. Only recently have I been experimenting with XDcam HD, and P2 HD fomats for an upcoming project. It started acting up after I started to take in the P2 HD material.
Could this have corrupted something in FCP? I trouble shot it by sourceing different cameras, cables, tapes... so it's random.
Anyone familiar with this problem?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

So I finally did what you suggested.
I sourced a tape shot a couple of months ago
and I can digitize them fine. Then I shot some broll with the zr600 and attempted to batch digitize it and alas.... it did'nt work. It skipped at different intervals through out the clip. That coupled with my succesful batch using a dvx100 last week makes me want to conclude I have issues with my cheap-o ZR600.
It's still a little sketchy though... why did the old footage playback well, and why does the TC on the newer footage shot on the XHA1 skip when played through the ZR600?
What do you think??

Droid 855 possible digitizer problem

So my phone is now possessed. The screen is either unresponsive to touch or the browser uncontrollably goes off to random sites when the screen is not being touched. I have seen advice on this forum to buy a replacement digitizer, and they are available on Amazon for about $18.
HOWEVER. I am going out of town for a week, in two days. It's after 5 pm on Thursday. There's no way to order this part and receive it in time to install it. I really need a working phone during this trip.
Does anyone know if you can pick up this part at a Verizon store? Or a Radio Shack or something?
Can you get expedited repairs at a Verizon store? Do they offer emergency loaners?
Verizon employees/moderators - i've had this phone about a year and a half; can i get a break on a new-every-two? I've been eyeing the Bionic anyway.

My screen would go black when accessing voice mail or making/receiving calls. ( I called Verizon Support...they suggested a hard start-up). Then I remembered that I just installed a new fitted screen protector that covered the light sensor. I cut a notch in the protector and the phone works great again! Hope this solves your problem too.
Good catch, Redbeard (I always wanted to call someone that...)
I wonder how phones have been exchanged because of this situation.

When my Tungsten E stopped working I bought another on e-bay. When I attepted a HotSync with my computer it appeared to be going OK.

Hard Reset the "new" E2. This Palm Knowledgebase Article has complete instructions for all types of Resets for Palm OS devices:
http://qa-kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/887_en.html
Then try to Hotsync again. It should prompt you to either select your existing Hotsync ID, or create a new one. Select your existing ID.
If the result is the same, copy and paste the latest Hotsync Log from Palm Desktop so we can see what that says.

Digitizer problem

My Iphone6 is unstable. I am having issues with the digitizer touch screen. I touch one section and it opens up another. Also starting to have issues entering my 4 digit code because when I touch the keyboard it goes to different buttons and not the one I touch. I did a hard reset and software upgrade and still have the issue.

Mmm just got it replaced. Second phone I get. Sure it is hardware? In the past it was setting the digitizer to adjust to lighting.

Lumia 900 digitizer problem

I have a lumia 900, I bought it like a month ago while still having wp7.5 installed, now I have like 2 weeks since I update it to wp7.8, so the problem relies with the touchscreen, because I didn't notice it before but since I have wp7.8 while I am using the phone with the screen turned on for a while, like watching movies or web browsing it gaming, the screen starts to detect random touch inputs, just like if i were touching repeatedly, but I'm not. So I was wondering if someone have the same issue because I doesn't happens always, is kind of erratic... Could it be hardware or software problem???

If you use the phone with headphones attached does the problem stop?
If so they your phone has a hardware issue that occurs when loud sounds are played through the loudspeaker. You should take it to the retailer or a Nokia care point.

Sync and Digitizer problems

I moved a year ago and thought I had all my palms (Palm IIIC, Palm Vx and m500) plugged in for power. Recently I discovered my Vx power cord had come undone and it lost power. After getting the power cord plugged back into the serial cable and power to it I tried to sync but when it comes back up it wants me to hit a reset on a small screen. After that the "Preferences" screen comes up, but the touch screen is off by about 1/4 inch. I cannot get to the digitizer screen to realign it.
When I hard reset the unit it is fine, but after syncing it is screwed up.
Any suggestions most wlecomed.
Palm did spend some time with me, but to no avail.

It sounds like there is a setting that is causing this issue. This should resolve the issue:
To fix this what we need to do is hard reset your device. The instructions to do that is here http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/887_en.html this tells you how to do all types of resets. Also, what we need to do is rename your backup folder. What this folder is, it hold all your programs from the last time you synced your PC. On your computer go here
Palm Desktop 4.2 and below
My Computer--> C drive --> Program files --> Palm/PalmOne--> your hotsync username
Palm Desktop 6.2.2
My Documents/Documents --> Palm OS Desktop --> your hotsync username
Right click on your backup folder and rename it to "backupOld". Resync your device to the same user name and you will get all your contacts, calendar, tasks, and memos.
You can install the programs again but make sure they are compatible with the device. Also try one program again and wait 24 hours to see if the same thing happens again. This way you know what program is causing the issue.

Tungsten E2 MAJOR problem!

HELP!!! Today I plugged it into the charger and the screen turned white and will not do anything. I tried to turn it off, reset, you name it, nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

You can try a hard reset to resolve the issue. The hard reset will erase all data on the device. Make sure you sync to the PC to backup your data, if you can.

Tungsten T3 Connection problem to Network

Can anyone explain how to connect a Tungsten T3 to a home network, via bluetooth, to get mail or crusie the web? Thanks.

Most "home networks" use Wifi and not BlueTooth, but if you truly want to use BlueTooth (with it's range of less than 30 feet max) then you can either:
1. Purchase Softick PPP from softick.com. This assumes you have a BlueTooth-capable computer to connect to.
2. Purchase a special BlueTooth Access Point such as this Belkin one. (Note: I neither own one of these, nor guarantee it will work. Just an example!)

Palm Tungsten E2 Sync problems

I am trying to reinstall DataViz Documents to Go and I get a message that pdn50.dll and alarm notify. PSI. dll are missing from the
Windows install program. I am using XP Professional on a Dell D600. How do I recover the missing Sync reporters?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Backup your Palm Desktop PIM (Personal Information Management), address, date, memo, notepad.
Or copy Palm Userid located in C:\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne\(youruserid) into your desktop for later use.
Uninstall palm desktop, and then delete the Palm folder located in C:\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne\ directory.
You need to clean your windows registry for any Palm related settings, click Start > Run, and type regedit and hit enter key or click OK.
Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE click on Software, and delete the folders "PalmOne" and "US Robotics".
Reboot your PC and reinstall the Palm Desktop software again.
Good Luck...

Palm Tungsten E2 glass digitizer calibration

I ordered a glass digitizer for my Palm Tungsten E2 from usedpdaparts.com on 1/29/2009, put it in myself and it has been working fine until recently. The screen now needs frequent calibration. Do others with glass digitizers have a similar experience?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

The digitizer can go bad.
You can try this process to see if there is any debris that is stuck under the screen edge.
Take a business card or folded piece of paper. Stick it in the gap between the edge of the screen and the case. Move around the perimeter of the screen and see if you can get out any debris.
If that doesn't work, the digitizer on the device is probably defective and needs replaced.

Pam TX's Digitizer...

I've been wanting to purchase a Palm TX, but I recently became aware of an issue some TX users have with the digitizer. Are these isolated events OR should this be reason enough for me to stay with my Tungsten E and NOT purchase the TX?
OR should I just use the Tungsten E2 that my wife will give me (free) once she gets a Palm phone?
What are your thoughts?
Post relates to: Tungsten E

These are isolated incidents. I own two TX's (one is almost 3 years old) and neither has shown this problem. I do take very good care of them, have always used screen protectors, and keep them in a Hard Case. Whether digitizer problems arise from rough usage is open for debate...
It may seem like there are a lot of them, but remember - data on any forum website is often skewed. Only the ones who have incurred this problem have a reason to come here and ask for a solution. The hundreds of thousands who have no problems will not chime in here and announce, "Hey! My device works fine, and has done so for 3 years!"
A new TX comes with a one-year warranty. If digitizer problems arise, send it back!
