i just picked up a used siemens sx56, as soon as i turned it on there was an X on the screen and directions to tap the stylus on the X to adjust the accuracy of the stylus on the screen, accidentally i hit a button and lost the screen and i cannot get it back.
can someone direct me back to that adjustment screen?
thank you
Mike
Go to settings/system/screen.

When I tap the bottom portion of my screen using stylus the screen turns to different colors.(Also happens when pressing HOME and LEFT buttons sometimes).
So my question is do I need LCD or just digitizer replaced? I did notice the Digitizer is a little raised.
Replacing it is not a option
I don't know if this helps, but I had the exact same problem for about a week, then it seemed to work ok except on pressure at the bottom of the screen, the entire display would go off color.
I took it into the sprint store and they replaced the entire top sliding portion of the phone. I was hoping to get a replacement TP2 but at least its fixed.... Now maybe the new NFSFAN rom will keep me happy for a while..
Is there a way to adjust the screen sensitivity? My dad just got the 3d and his complaint is the screen is too sensitive . Thanks

A screen protector can help tone it down.
ok thanks for the help. Im gona try and show him how to text easier today
My screen is too sensitive too. You don't even have to touch it to make keys and the capacitive buttons register a touch. This causes my typing precision to be much lower. I've also tested this out with demo phones in the Sprint store and they also have the same issue. Adding a screen protector doesn't help at all. I wish someone would fix this.
I am having issues with my touch screen not taking my input when in landscape. It works when I change to portrait and usually works when switching back to landscape but then stops again. I've noticed this playing angry birds and browsing in IE. Anything I can do to correct this?
edit: I think I found my issue. If i'm touching the bottom area where the capacitive buttons are the screen won't respond. Is this normal?
I find the sensitivity of the screen is less than the Focus. The Focus suffered from bad touch sensitivity if you didn't hold it (like laying it on the bed). If they can get full registry access to the phone, I'll bet the sensitivity is adjustable.

others have mentioned that touching the soft keys even slightly makes the rest of the screen unresponsive.
I don't know why capacitive buttons are so popular... they might be 'cool' but... hardbuttons aren't accidentally activated, they don't mess up the screen and they provide REAL tactile feedback.
Plus you can search for and use hardbuttons when they are out of sight. With my TV and BD player I have to put my face to the buttons with a magnifying class to see the icons because feeling them activates them and they have no backlights :/

They're popular because presumably they cost less than actual buttons, easier to manufacture, and are less likely to break or need maintainence.
The screen's glass is already set up to be capacitive, so extending that down to the "button" area requires virtually no additional cost - they only need 3 tiny LED's underneath, rather than housing full mechanical buttons, with a separate plastic overlays ontop on the buttons.
I've noticed today that my second screen seems to get stuck at a brighter setting when the main screen is off. If I wake up the phone and put it back to sleep it will drop to the low brightness and look normal. I am rooted and on the stock debloted rom. Has anyone else experienced this?
Also another slightly related question, but is the second screen an actual hardware second screen or is it software just using part of a large display? I only ask because when in TWRP it shows everything as one image and I cannot see any line differentiating that there are 2 screens.
There brightness is governed by the light sensor. You might have too much light shining onto it so it gets stuck at the higher setting. It's very sensitive so even moving it a few inches away from a nearby lamp might help.
The second screen is just part of a single LCD panel and it's the software that displays different stuff on it. That's why TWRP looks the way it looks on it.
Is there a way to manually adjust the 2nd screen brightness? At work my 2nd screen is so dim that i can barely even see my notifications, which is the point of the 2nd screen lol.

i love to brighten my 2nd screen too..:good:
Any news for adjusting brightness of the second screen? I have bought the V10 on monday and have the same problem with seeing notifications at work...
When my wife first showed it to me it only showed the clock and notification icons in the upper middle of the screen. Pressing the power button only made it brighter or dimmer, but if you held the power button the shutdown menu would come up and you could interact with the menu fine. If you shut it down and restarted it the lock screen would show for a second at which point you could tap and get it to acknowledge a swipe giving you the PIN screen, but you couldn't enter a PIN. After pulling it's SD card and verifying her pictures were on there I factory reset it thinking a software problem, or a run away app eating CPU.
While setting itself up after the reset, around 90% I watched the screen "shrink" to a inch or so square in the upper middle of the screen. What I mean by shrink is, inside the square I could still see a bit of "Android is starting up" and the white background, but outside that was black. That's when I started thinking it thought it was in a case with the cover closed, it doesn't have a screen protector ATM so I cleaned the glass over the proximity sensor, even opened it up and cleaned the inside of the glass for giggles. That didn't help, now when it boots up I get nothing but the backlight of the LCD, I assume because it's waiting for me to finish the setup process, it still will bring up the power off menu and I can shut it down or reboot it fine.
So now I'm trying to figure out, does it have a reed switch somewhere and a magnet in a case cover, or does it use the proximity sensor to see if the cover is closed? If I can figure out how it tells there's a cover over the glass I'll just remove that sensor and be done with it
Thanks,

there's magnet sensor somewhere around front camera

Any guesses on which side of the board? I've run across a couple candidate IC's, looking for my loupe's now to see if I can read anything off them.
