[Q] Screen calibration off after KI1 update? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just flashed my tab to KI1 and noticed that the screen calibration is off. For example on a web page with many one-line text links I almost every time hit the link below the one I aimed for. This didn't happen with the previous firmware.
Is there a way to recalibrate the touch screen or somehow modify some settings to get things right?

I have the same problem...

I have this problem with stock rom.

go into settings/screen/horizontal calibration

Isn't this for calibrating the motion sensors? I need to calibrate the touch-part of the screen so that when it is touched the point is correct and not about 2-3 millimeters lower than it should be.

Same problem here, I always end up hitting the link above the one I want, it works most of the time.
What a POS...

Same problem here. Tried with a drawing app and is about 5 millimeters off.

Same problem here... Would definitely like to have a fix fire this.

also on ki1

it only happened once for me and was fixed after i restarted it..

i have the same problem out the box on my gt 8.9. Pisses me cuz it clicks the link under my finger everytime

Touchscreen Issues As Well...

Anyone have an issue with their touchscreen where there is a "dead spot"? I don't know how to describe it other than that. There is a spot if I touch it, nothing happens. It is right where the Accept and Download button is on the market in portrait orientation. It seems to be all the way across the screen in a horizontal line. Pixels and color are not affected just the touch effect. If i reboot, it goes away for a while. Switching ROMs makes no difference, happens on every one I have tried though, so it seems to be a hardware issue. Any help would be great.

If you had searched the forums, you would have come across this, which will solve your problem.
Also, it's not flashable so unzip it and put the apk on your phone, install it, then run.

Try to find the HTC Calibrate.apk and push it to System/Apps... It'll Definitely Help!

I ran the advanced search and couldn't find anything for the E3D. But thanks for the help and for the hand-slap dude.

Really? After about 1.4 seconds I had 4 touchscreen issue threads (including this one.) pop up after searching "touchscreen issue" in the "search this forum" bar. Did you fix your problem?
No go.
Well the HTC Calibrate app did not work. I must say that it did help for sure, but the same dead spot issue keeps happening. OK, so now I have begun to look at replacement parts on Ebay. So just to get this straight, it is the digitizer/front glass assembly that registers touch, correct? As I said, there are no missing pixels or colors, so does that rule out the LCD? Or should I but both to be on the safe side? I really want this issue done and over with, so help me get this thing taken care of guys. Thanks to all you guys for the help. Also, if anyone has a digitizer and LCD assembly for a good price, let me know.
I had the same issue where the bottom quarter of my e3d hboot 1.5 didn't work I didn't have insurance so I took it in and the sprint manager said I wasnt the only one with the issue it's a htc issue I tried the calibration on different roms bit it would only give you calibration on the top half of the screen, spent swapped it out and I got a new e3d with hboot 1.5 of course but at least the touch screen is working.....hoped that helped you out cuz I searched everywhere and couldn't find a solution.
I was toying with that idea. Will the "watermark" from unlocking a 1.50 hboot version be a problem? Obviously I need to unroot. And also, I bought this phone from an individual just a few weeks ago after I got my first one stolen, will this be a problem? Any other thoughts on taking it back to sprint?
Yeah, it is really weird, it is exactly where the "Accept & Download" button is when making a market purchase. So, yeah it sucks, I have to rotate it horizontal every time I want to buy something
I have been having lots of touchscreen issues as well. Tried lots of different roms and kernels but no luck. Someone suggested formatting the SD card. I haven't had access to a computer so i just removed the card about an hour ago to test and so far i haven't had any issues.

Hardware design fault in all galaxy aces

I started a thread about the digitizer problem in Janauary about things suddenly scrolls rapidly, especially when browsing webpages.
Then on the Jan 15th, I took it to warranty, but without being able to demonstrate the problem clearly, all they done was reflashing the firmware.
I've already tried to fix the bug in the driver, but it is damn hard to filter the "noisy" touches without side effects. (like ignoring movements that are too quick, then i can't type in swype quickly)
I should have known *#0*# earlier, as I'm now able to reproduce the problem right in front of them.
On March 15, I took it to them again. Today, got my phone back with replaced touch screen. Then, tested it in front of their CS and reproduced the bug as shown in the attachment again.
I suggest anyone who owns an ace, please go into *#0*# to test your phone. Keep circling around the lower-left box for at least 10 minutes. Reply to this thread if you're able or not able to reproduce this. I may print this thread to Samsung on my next visit to them.
I've also uploaded a video to youtube to show this. (it's around 1:51 for the bug to appear)
We need to get Samsung to fix this!!
Yup I've got the same problem.
Notice it a lot with Draw Something.
*#0*# doesn't work for me, probably because I am rooted and have a custom rom. (ICSunday by Jusada).
That probably means I lost my warranty
Yes, I have this problem to. The first time occurred with less than 30 seconds of testing and the second around 1:20 min.

Hey bro
Take a screenshot if it happens again, it's still a good evidence that there's other users that got this problem.
btw, does it draw lines to the same direction like in my photo?

Yes, it's Samsung's own test menu in stock roms. But it should be reproducible in whatever drawing app.
Thought i ONLY had this PROBLEM!!
Its not only in STOCK browser also in DOLPHIN, OPERA.. And others. The page suddenly moves to the end with a slight touch!! Wat does the SAMSUNG ppl say about this??
Hope we GET a EXCHANGE of THE SET!!
it always happen when I scroll the long page slowly :/
I hope Samsung will fix it soon
They said they will be replacing my phone's motherboard, as they have already replaced my touch screen.
I wonder if it's fixed in S5830"I", otherwise even exchanging with a brand new ace won't solve it. I would try to ask them to exchange with an ace plus, or maybe I had to escalate a brand new ace first, and take it to "repair"
Well, since its a hardware problem, I don't think they can fix it with an update. I've experienced it my self countless times as well.
I noticed this when playing Air Control...
Also the rapid scrolling in Dolphin Browser is familiar to me!
I have that probably too
Yaiyeee!! New phone

Well I faced that problem too while using DiskUsage App. Just a slight touch and it moved to right end corner.
i have the same problem.
I've had this happen to me as well, can be quite annoying.
I'm not sure there's anything we can do about it unfortunately, but it doesn't affect the phone all the time. If it did, I'd be asking for a refund
Although, those Galaxy Ace Plus' do look nice...
is ther a pertition we can sign? or something? obviousley its a fault, so now what for us ace owners??

I had the same problem with ICS, but i downgrade to GB. First I did the "sunbath", and works, but some apps started to crush. So I decided to go back to GB. Until now, it works flawless. I lose a couple of functions, but it's better than the "sunbath".
UPDATE1: After a couple of weeks the problem came back. Anybody, got a solution other than throw to the garbage the phone?
UPDATE2: Well, I really don't know what makes appears the touch screen problem again, but since I install GB, I got only once that the screen didn´t work and only for a short time. I've been using for a couple of days and I didn't have any trouble at all. I'm guessing that is like a bug software problem, but if someone find a final solution, please post it.
Hey!
Hey guys. I also have the same problem. My service test in touch screen was so terrible. Also behind delete button in keyboard. Lower part right side of the screen. What shall we do?
Additions.
Haha. I forgot the attchmnts
same problem
Same Problem here to.
Anyone know something about this problem?
Anybody got a workaround?
Thanks
Another one with the same problem, mine in the low right side of the screen. Im using the glove mode otherwise its impossible to use it. Somebody with JB, which disables glove mode, has resolve the problem??Im asking this because while its not responding, I restart the phone an enter CWM, and there, its responses perfectly.
So, somebody with this problem, has flashed the any port of JB and resolve this issue??
ok, I´ve tested with JB and it became more responsive but also having the problem.
I left the phone with direct sunligth and now it is ok WTF!!??
have you tried calibrating it? there's an app at the play store if i'm not mistaken..
I have tried everything but 1 thing worked. Sunbathing your sola will recalibrate touchscrren. I dont know how it work but it sure does the job. I'm afraid i have to sell my phone cause i dont want any problems. Now i'm using galaxy s3 mini

Hi, Sunbathing really works as a last effort for Xperia Sola
It fixed mine and the time needed for your phone under the sun is approx..1 hour
Dont worry about the battery

Touchscreen ghosting

Hi guys!
I bought the Z3TC LTE and are very happy with the device but I experience kind of ghosting with the touch screen:
Moving my finger up and down on an scrollable page / app it starts missing or skipping a movement!
Is that a general problem or should I return the device?
I made an demonstration Video:
http://youtu.be/EUeAt1HMt-w
try a reboot.
is it only 1 app or is it happening on different apps?
Reproducible in every App! Reboot does not help!
If I find time I'm gonna try the same on an Z3TC in an local store..
hmmm thats strange....
glove mode is not on right?
If not, try a factory reset.
if that does not work, sounds like service.....
does this happen when you are charging the device? sometimes this is caused by a charger that doesn't supply sufficient current
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I think I am facing the opposite of that. The screen is far too sensitive and sometimes takes a scroll as a touch. Happens everywhere on the device. I fear it's a hardware thing.

I have tested an black Z3TC WLAN in the local store! Could not reproduce the problem! Gonna send it back, keep you updated!
I had a similar problem for a couple of days.
The tablet would scroll up and down on web pages erratically and also when using the keyboard it would enter words independently.
The issue resolved itself after awhile so there is nothing I can suggest to fix it.

I had the same issue and end up got a replacement from vendor. They didn't do serious check and question me as usual. Then give me another one.
it makes me feel this is a common issue with this tablet.
Mine works perfectly fine

I have this but it's not static. It was happened from time to time, both vertical and horizontal scrolls.
Also the replacement tablet has the problem! Could you guys please write which model you have? Might be LTE related!?

My V10 H901V20L now the sencond sreen turns off with the main screen too. Means when I turned off the main screen, the second screen went off too, and I can't do anyting with the second screen too. I have tried so many ways ( like turn OFF and ON again both in Settings > Display > Second Screen, flash many differentce roms after 4wipes) and it doesn't work.
I have searched in forum but seem like noone have a solution for this issue.

Can you expland me more. Cause the sencond screen works perfectly when the main screen ons.
You already tried wiping and several roms, so it is definitely not a software issue. If it was software the screen would have worked with at least 1 of the roms you tried.

Guys HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!
I have exactly the same problem! Surely someone knows what could cause this? Why does the backlight go off with the main screen??? The display is working, because if you shine light into it, the date/time/notifications are there it's just that the backlight is going off!!!! Surely this is software?
I've factory reset and it made no difference but that doesn't roll back to LP... I just upgraded this phone to the latest software when I bought it so don't know if it had this issue from new.
Sorry to take over the thread, will delete and start a new one if people would prefer.
Don't see how it can be hardware at fault???
Thanks in advance for any help?!

That's bad for you... unlucky.
Can you recall what (if anything) may have caused it to stop working? I'm wondering it mine went bad after LG bridge software update and restore from previous V10 (H961N).
Sent mine back and got another coming this week.. fingers crossed this time. Might update it the same but maybe not restore? or not restore settings at least?
Got my new one. Working fine except it's maybe a tad dimmer compared to my previous V10s second screen. There's definitely variation as it won't go off with my finger over the proximity sensor whereas my brothers one does (this just dims right down). A piece of cardboard or paper shuts it down. But most importantly, it does go off in my pocket... or else the wifi, sound, flashlight etc would be getting switched the whole time.
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...
