Touch screen is out of sync, can only use the manual control

When all of my programs are listed on my screen, I use the stylus to tap on the program that I want and it opens up a different program above it or one one the screen.
Is there a way to calibrate it so the touch screen is insync with the location that the stylus touches?
Please help! Michelle G

How to activate voice dial phone feature

Touchscreen phones simplify the wireless world, especially when combined with voice activation. Although making calls using voice commands was an option before touchscreens became available, the method used to set up this feature is different than it is for non-touchscreen units. It can take time to master the set of procedures that will get the feature working.
Step 1
Create a voice tag. Touch "Contacts" on the today screen. This opens the list of contacts on your phone. From here, do one of three things: you can hold your finger on the desired contact and then tap the "Add Voice Tag," you can select the desired contact, tap on "Menu" and then "Add Voice Tag," or you can tap the desired contact to open their personal screen and then hit "Menu" followed by "Add Voice Tag."
Step 2
Record the voice tag on your phone. Touch the phone number to which you wish to add a voice tag then touch the "Record" button. Record your voice tag for that contact. An icon will be displayed to the right of the number when the voice tag is complete. You can listen to your voice tag by touching the "Play" button on the screen or you can delete it to record a new one.
Step 3
Make a voice tag for a program. Tap the "Start" button on the phone. Go to "Settings" and then the "Personal" tab followed by "Voice Speed Dial." Choose the program for the voice tag and record the voice tag in the same manner as you did for the contact. To open the program with the voice tag, tap "Start," "Programs" and then "Voice Speed Dial."
Step 4
Launch a program or make a call. Make a call by tapping "Start" followed by "Programs" and then "Voice Speed Dial." You will hear a beep. Say the voice tag you recorded for the person you wish to call. You can open a program via the same procedure (by speaking the voice tag created for the program).
Step 5
Check the voice tags you created. Tap on "Start," "Settings," "Personal" tab and then "Voice Speed Dial." A voice tag tab appears and displays a list of your voice tags.

Touch problem

Hello,


Nokia designed the N97 with a touch-screen calibration program to remedy problems with the touch screen. Opening the touch-screen calibration program requires you to use the touch screen, which can prove difficult. You're forced to judge where to tap the screen because the screen isn't recording the precise location of your taps. To find the touch-screen calibration program, open the main menu, select "Settings" and then "Touch Input." The program provides on-screen instructions to help you finish calibrating the screen.

Htc touch diamond 2 screen is freezing cant call etc

1. Turn off HTC Home Sprint and Today Timeout. Settings -->Today --> Items --> Uncheck Today Timeout and HTC Home Sprint
2. Turn off Activesync. This can be done by closing activesync and going to Settings --> Phone --> Services --> Time synchronization and uncheck time sync. This will stop activesync from starting all the time

3. Turn Roaming to "SPRINT ONLY". Settings --> Phone --> Services --> Roaming --> SPRINT ONLY
Open the Task Manager (top right corner icon), clicked on the “tool” icon, then the “button” tab, and changed the “Enable the X button to end running programs,” selection form “End programs by tapping and holding X” to “End programs by tapping X.” Now, when you tap the “X” to close a program, it actually closes, and frees up more system memory. The same result can be achieved by tapping and holding the “X”, rather than changing the setting, if preferred. The objective is to CLOSE the programs and free up the memory.

Is there anyway to delete programs from a Palm TX from the desktop?

HI,
Yes there is a way to delete programs. Take your TX and in the upper left of the screen you will see the time. Tap the time with your stylus. A drop down menu will appear. Tap "DELETE". Your TX will generate a list of all the programs and applications on your hand held. Once that list is generated tap or highlight the one you want to delete and the tap the delete button at the bottom of the screen. Once you have deleted all the programs you want tap done and then do a hot sync. They should be gone from then on. If you find this helpful please rate me. Best wishes.

When trying to send an email from my ipod touch, the message "cannot send mail the sender address was invalid". I am able to receive all emails and otherwise my email account (aol) works normally.

I would try reconfiguring your e-mail setting. Here is how you do it:

Set Up an Email Account to Use on an IPod Touch
  • Set up your iPod touch to sync by attaching the wide end of the USB cable into the dock at the bottom of your iPod. Insert the smaller end into a USB port on your computer. The keyboard ports on a desktop computer do not have enough power to sustain syncing, so use one of the ports on the computer itself.
  • Open iTunes and wait for your iPod to be recognized. Go to the "Info" tab at the top of the summary screen that appears.
  • Choose the type of email account you want to sync from the list of options. Refer to your iPod touch user manual to find out which mail programs are compatible with your iPod. Click on "Sync."
  • Get a free email account to use with your iPod touch if you do not have an email account through your Internet Service Provide (ISP). Both Yahoo! and Google Mail (Gmail) offer free email accounts that can be used with the iPod touch (see Resources below). Go to "Settings," "Mail" and "Account" to add an email address from Yahoo! or Gmail directly to your iPod touch.
Check and Send Email on Your IPod Touch
  • Tap the "Mail" icon on the home screen of your iPod. When you have unread mail in your inbox, the number of messages will display in a red circle at the top of the icon.
  • Touch the inbox or other mailboxes that you may have set up to see the unread messages. Each unread message will have a blue dot next to it.
  • Read a message by tapping on the subject line. The full message will then appear on your screen. To read another email, you can touch the up and down arrows or you can go back to the inbox to select another email.
  • View photo, video, word processing and spreadsheet attachments by downloading them to your iPod touch. Tap the attachment to open it. When it has finished downloading, you will be able to see it on the screen.
  • Reply to an email that you have been sent by tapping the "Reply" icon (it looks like a backward arrow) when you are viewing the message.
  • Send a new email by tapping the icon that looks like a pencil and paper. Use the keyboard to enter in the recipient's email address or choose an address from your contact list. Type the text of your message and touch "Send."
  • Check for new messages in your inbox by tapping the "Refresh" button. This is an icon that looks like a circular-shaped arrow.
  • Delete an email by touching it and then touching the trash can icon.
WARNING
Syncing an email address to an iPod touch activates the email account and makes it ready to use on the device. It does not transfer actual email messages from the computer to the iPod touch. Conversely, remember that any changes in the settings that are made to the email account through the iPod will not sync back to the computer. Individual settings will have to be restored on the computer if desired.

Start button not working right

Try A soft reset, open the back/battery cover and press on the reset button w/your stylus.

If it still is the same check to see if you have any programs that make 'modifications' to Windows Mobile, or Touch flo 3d, etc. As it might cause the problem. If you recently installed a program, try removing it. Of course you would have to do this through activesync or the vista equivilent.(Windows Mobile Device Center)

To do this in active sync go to Tools>Add/Remove Programs. Not sure about vista as i dont have it.

If you still can't fix it, do a hard reset, its in settings>clear storage, but i dont know how you would get to it.
Or use the hardware buttons, while the diamond is on, press/hold the power button, volume down (lower one) button, and ok/enter button, at the same time, with your stylus, press the reset button in the back. Yeah it sounds like im lying, but im not :P (Note some say you don't need to press the power button too, try a combination of the 2 if mine didnt work.

HARD RESET WILL REMOVE ALL YOUR DATA! So make sure you sync all your contacts to outlook on your PC through active sync, and make sure they're there. Your programs will be removed and will have to be reinstalled manually (other than the originally included software, like internet explorer, opera, office, etc). But if you installed through a setup file on your pc, which later makes activesync install it onto your diamond, you can reinstalled through active synce after a hard reset, by going to add/remove programs and checking the boxes for the software you want to reinstall.

Hard reset

Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset
Use the stylus to press the RESET button found on the lower left side of your device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.
htc_artemis_%28p3300%29_hard_reset_soft_reset_.jpg

To perform a hard reset
htc_artemis_%28p3300%29_hard_reset_soft_reset_1_.jpg
  1. Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and the Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the lower left side of your device.
  2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two soft key buttons. Release them only when you see the following message on your device screen: “Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.“
  3. Press on your device. Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
