I've an Omnia 910, and the manufacture date seems to be Jan 2009. The sensitivity isn't terrible, but there still is much to be desired.

After calibrating by hand, my calibration settings were very close to those values originally posted. I can report that it makes little or no difference in sensitivity.

I think everyone is thinking there's a difference because of how off the calibration was beforehand. Think about it, it's off a few pixels, what's really happening when you press harder is that your finger squishes out and eventually presses where it's supposed to. So fixing the calibration means your initial press hits its mark.

I also tried the Click and DownUp changes, didnt notice much of a change.. Maybe I went into it expecting nothing to happen and so I see nothing happen. Reverse placebo for me?

Okay gang, found this, and indeed it improved sensitivity for me noticably. My test is scrolling the Programs list -- with this change, I can sweep my right thumb up or down quickly and get the list to scroll right along. Before this change, getting the list to keep scrolling with my finger was a PITA.

Credit to Kevin for this... visit his site for a good list of hacks for the 910.

Here's the hack:

Improve Touch Sensitivity

[ H K E Y _ L O C A L _ M A C H I N E \ \ H A R D W A R E \ D E V I C E M A P \ T O U C H ]
” C l i c k ” = d w o r d : set to 2000
[ H K E Y _ L O C A L _ M A C H I N E \ \ H A R D W A R E \ D E V I C E M A P \ T O U C H ]
” D o w n U p ” = d w o r d : set to 750
soft reset required

I've been interested in getting in to hacking up apps for WM6, so I think I'll get myself going with .NET 3.5 lite (or whatever it's called) and make a simple app to adjust these keys via sliders, as well as load/save the improved calibration settings. Watch this space...

I have changed the value of pressurethreshold in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\touchpanel from 80866 to 1280000, but found no changes in sensitivity...

ps. I have softreset the phone several times.

ok.. so I had the trouble with the phone restarting when I touched it as well, but I wasn't going to just resort to doing a hard reset.. I figured there had to be a way to recalibrate the phone.. I first tried to just recalibrate it, but the first time I touched the screen when trying to recalibrate it the phone restarted.. so I got to thinking.. I went back into the registry and I totally deleted the "CalibrationData" line.. as soon as I did that I could touch the screen, but it was all whacked out... I then went to the calibration tool and re-calibrated.. works fine now.

Just for the record, the values for "CalibrationData" are just the coordinates of where the calibration program found your presses during calibration. The click and downup values are actually the phone's threshold for what is a touch, and not just an accidental finger swipe. If you want better accuracy, change the CalibrationData. If you want better sensitivity, change the Click and DownUp. Just to help clear up the situation.
