It seems that typing is really touchy on this phone using the Android keyboard which I prefer. I have to click the letters higher than normal and I'm hoping there's a way to re-calibrate the screen somehow. I've encountered other areas as well where the alignment is off.

i have searched and read on screen problems and seen info on lines across screen. i think i have his as sometimes xda is unreadable and if it were a pc would have thought that the monitor card had gone or driver wrong resulting in decreased screen resolution ( hazy and non color )
fix seems to be a new screen or touch pad - bit confused what the difference is. which bit is what?? can any one who has had ( and hopefully fixed ) low resolution problem clarify which parts are needed.
Note - Problem seems intermittent ss better today after hard reset than before!!!???? as working ok now thibk the touch pad is working as it certainly takes input commands?
cna anyone clarify - running 4.00.05ENG and 4.21 radio
problem I have seems very intermitant. If the screen is OK it seems to go bad during recharing phase either syncd to PC or via car charger.
Also inbox is now unviewable for SMS or sync'd emails.
Has anyone seen this where charging impacts the screen??
Will a reload of 4.00.05 help?
No. If it's a hardware problem (and it does sound like that), no ROM upgrade will fix it. The touch pad is the part that measures where the pen is, the screen lies underneath. They are attached as one piece, but they can be separated (with care...).
I've searched long and at any places, but nowhere was an answer. Everybody goes crazy if we talk about sensitivity, but what are the benefits of a higher sensitivity really?
I mean, here on mother earth, you can't get something better, without decreasing other features...
So if i turn the sensitivity higher (or lower), i mean if its more precise... Where are the disadvantages?
Higher battery drain?
Please help me to understand
I you slide you finger over the screen it takes a small distance before the phone reactes and moves the part of the display. Try it and you will notice this small distance on the homescreen. It is like a dead zone where you move your finger but nothing happens.
With the toch sensitivity fixes or apps or scripts you can decrease this distance to 0 or any other value. I think a value around 5 is quite common. I am not sure but I thought 15 is default, so you usually want to decrease it.
A disadvatage is, that if you set it too low, the phone might recognize klicks a swipes.

That was the answer i wanted! Thank you!
On some older kernels, when your phone is on ac power, the screen becomes very unresponsive. That's why people came up with the need to change the touch sensitivity.

My evo 4g lte has been wonderful with MeanROM. I have noticed one peculiar thing with the capacitive touch screen. When I brush my finger slightly above the panel and not touching it, functions activate. Or sometimes when I'm entering data I'll make a motion toward the screen but not touch it and it triggers. This is disconcerting because I'm afraid that I'll dial out inadvertently or save any entry when I'm not intending to. Have any of you noticed this same behavior? Is there something wrong with my touch screen? Also, this behavior exhibited itself even when the ROM was stock.
I tried doing the recalibration on the keyboard but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Jon

its normal. happens on mine and my original evo. these screens are crazy sensitive. just gotta get used to it
You obviously have some psychic powers!!
It's because the screen and most touchscreen these days are capacitive. They rely on electrical impulses that the body naturally gives out therefore you can be close to the screen and without touching it, it'll register the touch
Can someone give me any ideas why my tablets doing this?
Lately it seems that when I try to touch the screen to start an app or select a menu item or basically touch anywhere on the screen
it seems to activate in 2 spots like I'm touching the screen in 2 locations.
Anyone got an idea of what could cause this?
I was wondering if extra capacitance can cause it from being in the keyboard case I got for it or being warm although it doesn't feel that warm to me even though I have it on almost constantly and the ac adapter always connected.
I'm stumped and can't seem to find anything with Google that's like this problem.
Please help.
The SPEN is disconnected, even when it is in place (rear). The tablet does not recognize it.
I tried with the "reset SPEN" option, and factory reset.
SPEN is only recognized if I do some kind of pression. But doing this is very annoying when using it to take notes. Don't appear cursor, no write on screen
I think the problem could be caused by the design of both sensors, the tablet and the SPEN.
I´m use SM-T865 model
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thank you
Although I haven't heard of it affecting anything except writing on the screen with the S-pen, you might want to consider any possible magnets in your case, if you use one.

Hi.
I have a new spen, but the problem is on the tablet.
I have to press a point on the tablet so that the spen pointer appears on the screen, or for the spen to charge its battery.

Have you tried changing the S-pen's tip? I'm not sure if it would affect it charging, but I definitely had some weird issues interacting with the screen when my tip was faulty. One being that the cursor wasn't showing on the screen and the Spen was just scrolling pages constantly. Fixed it by replacing the tip.
