Touchscreen accuray wayyyy off.

[Guest KP Admiral]

I've only had my Omnia i910 for about 2 weeks now, I like it a lot. Just recently the accuracy just kinda petered out. If I press a button it doesn't register unless I press a bit off location.

First thing I did was calibrate it...MANY times. The hokey part is the screen coords it registers look only a few pixels off the screen calibration tweak going around.

What it's doing is funky. I installed a screen drawing app just to see how far off it's registering my finger/stylus movements. As I approach the center of the screen it becomes more accurate...but as soon as I move away from the center the point registered leads the actual contact point of my finger/stylus. In all directions. So badly that on the SIP if I poke T on the keyboard it presses G instead. Very annoying.

Is this something common? Or do I have a bad digitizer? I've had tons of PPC's and touch screen devices...this is a first to go sour on me =/

I have seen this on another pda I had where it was mainly off in one direction. Basically what you have to do is lie to the calibrate routine. Decide which way(s) you would like to "stretch" or "shrink" the screen response, and then tap outside or inside the crosshair a little. This works if your are only off a small amount. The keyboard is a good tester as you can see which way it goes. Give it a try and good luck.
