Omnia i900 Touch Screen problem

[Guest Anusha Dharmasena]

There is a misaligned area in the touch screen and I don't know how to fix it.

The area is around where A & S keys of Samsung Keyboard show up. When I press the A key, it always sends S key. To send A key, I have to press around the left edge of the A key. If I press middle of A key, it sends S key. The problem is there for D key as well, as in if I press towards right of D key from middle of D key, it sends F.

This issue is slightly present in the QWERTY and ZXCVB lines as well, but ASDF line is the worse. Everywhere else, the co-ords map correctly.

Doesn't seem like a software issue, right? I've tried many ROMs and aligned screen with finger, with stylus as well used the precision values from the registry as well.

Do I have to purchase a new touch screen? Looks likely, and I've heard they have a better touch responsive screen nowadays and how do I find a new one?

Thanks for any support.

You can get them on ebay (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=i900+touchscreen+digitizer&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_odkw=wholesale+and&_osacat=0) and the dissasembly guide is here http://www.formymobile.co.uk/omniadisassembly.php

It's not that difficult to do, just requires some patience.

I'm looking at the exact same problem and now i am even more convinced it is indeed a hardware problem. Luckily these new screens come cheap and that instruction at formymobile is excellent!

OK, so I need a new screen.

One little question though. I just need the digitizer, right? Not the LCD as well, right?
