screen issue

[Guest Turborepu]

ok i have been having issues typing lately. i press the s key many times when i mean to press the a key. so i re calibrated the screen.. still s prob. today i tried to recalibrate again with a toothpick.. same deal. so i decided to draw on my notepad to see how far off the calibration is.. here is what i found. the screen is calibrated fine except for the lower left quarter. i will post a screenshot so you can see what i mean.

as you can see in the pic there is a sort of dent on the side.. i made those lines using a ruler. so the pen touches the screen at a certain point but the screen registers it like 1\8 - 1\4 inch off almost.. but only for that area. any idea if its software related or hardware.. tia..

It`s definately hardware... Sorry to tell you, but I think you need a new screen/digitizer :excl:

I'd try doing a hard reset first, just for kicks...

[Guest Turborepu]

im sure verizon will give me another. i guess i'll hang on to the phone for a tad longer, then go get it replaced.

[Guest Turborepu]

i have hard reset already. problem as still there. so this whole time since i had this phone i have been switching keyboards... try to get better accuracy and it was a hardware issue all along.

Interesting finding. I have the same problem with the XT9 keyboard myself. I am going to try your rule trick to see.

Here is the link to a forum item I had just started, right before I saw your post.

Yes, your phone is on Verizon so they`ll have no problem changing it :excl: Tell us how the new one is :excl: My reccomendation is to change it as fast as you can :excl: But if you have a custom rom, revert back to the original :excl:

[Guest Turborepu]

thats why im gonna wait a bit. once the official rom is released, ill flash it and go get it exchanged. i'll walk in there with my unhappy customer face lol..

I have a similar problem (for the last 3-4 days). Initially, there was no problem. But maybe exposure to heat (aka fan exhaust from my laptop) could have done this?

I drew the lines trying to rougly overwrite the straight lines in the Notes.

im having a similar problem w/my i910.

if you look in the windows folder there is an application, LCDtest

when i use that i find that although my inputs are registered in the right spot, the outer 1/4inch or so takes a significant amount of pressure to register, the rest of the screen barely has to have any pressure to register an input.

if you guys get bored, try it and see what you come up with

[Guest maf107ezk0]

Wadzii, the same can be done with typing *#0*# in the dialer (and there are more tests there) :D

[Guest Wadzii]

the dialer shortcuts dont work on the verizon i910 :D

[Guest maf107ezk0]

OMG :D sry...

Have you tried Favorite Hackings ? :lol:

[Guest Tommekk]

Same problem lower left side is corupt

does any have some complainings with microphone... so that people that are talking with you say: I cant hear you good, you have a broken phone?

and i wonder how many of us Omnians have a crack in the middle black pastic on bouth sides (next to the power button )

Well I got a replacement shortly after making this post originally, and the new phone was good a for while.. Now though it has the same issue, i guess it must be getting heat warped on that side since that is where the connector is. So i may wait a bit and call and harrass VZW and get another omnia sent to me. that would make it my third.
