[Guest martin1234]

i can not get passed teh calibration screen on my new vodafone , stuck on the calibration screen, i have tried a battery in and out, plus soft reset and master reset, nothing help thanks ,

[Guest syrguy1969]

One thing a bunch of us have noticed with the Omnia is that on the calibration screen, unlike others, you need to not only tap the '+', but hold it for a bit....try again, holding each '+' for about 5-8 seconds, and see if that helps!!

And do it with the stylus not your finger

[Guest StarVision]

when u tap the + , u should place ur stylus a bit slanted and press hard

I've finally got my Omnia calibrated and working (as in the touchscreen is accurate)

Using an ordinary toothpick, the kind where both ends are sharp. I took a slightly top down view of the screen and calibrated it by PRESSING AND HOLDING the toothpick into the middle of each Cross.

One round of calibration <_<

Wish i had discovered this earlier as the touchscreen's accuracy sux. Sensitivity is ok.

I'm having pretty much the exact same problem as martin1234, I've been having issues with calibrating my screen for a while, so I decided to do a hard reset on my device. But now I can't get past that stupid calibration screen, so my Omnia is totally useless now. I've tried using a toothpick and pressing down on the "+" for about 5 seconds and I've tried soft reset but nothing is working. Any ideas what I should do?

get an external reg editor like: CeRegit (it is free) http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/

when u connect via activesync, open the regeditor and browse to this path [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Welcome] .

change the dword value to below. this will disable the welcome screen.

wait 30 seconds and reboot.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Welcome]

"Disable"=dword:000000FF

or

Turn the phone off

connect with the USB cable to the pc

turn the phone on

now the phone is connected through active sync

on your pc ! - make a new text document (empty),save it with name - welcome.not (not welcome.txt , .NOT) save it!

now copy the new file to your omnia main memory !

disconnect the cable

reset the phone !
