Menu -> Settings -> Lang&Keyboard -> Touch Input -> Text Input -> Calibration Tool
First do the "Reset Calibration" then do your own calibration is how I did it.

That's for the HTC Keyboard ONLY. THat has no effect on anything else.
And no, there is no way (or need) to calibrate the screen.
The dialog says for the tool says "Calibrate your screen for a better touch experience".
While I did not design the phone or interface, I don't know 100% either way and luckily, it can't hurt.
*If you did code the interface and know for sure, thank you. ;-)
Thanks

I wish there was a way to calibrate the touch screen. Anyone else having issues where you press the top thread of SMS and it goes to the 4th one down and then it locks the screen like it's touching there so I can't press anything else? No back button, home button. Only thing that works is locking it then unlocking but sometimes you have to do that 3 to 4 times before it will stop "touching" that same spot. I haven't hard reset yet but if that doesn't work I'm going to have them replace it.
That happened to me a lot with the original evo, not as bad with this one, but it has been off a few times
What does this do? Menu > Settings > Display > G-Sensor calibration

Are you daft? It calibrates the G-sensor, as in the sensor that reads the G forces the phone is being exposed to.

he he he... "daft".
I had MAJOR touch screen problems (not keyboard) and this seems to have fixed them!
Seetings > display> calibration unless thats only in the rom im using
Nevermind only an option on my rom

Nope I have the option as well. The feature is offered on most stock based roms I believe.

It sounds like your digitizer (touchscreen interface) may be going out. Try to calibrate in the keyboard settings and then calibrate the "g" (accelerometer) sensor. If you're still having issues with p,0 put your phone in landscape mode where the home button is on top and confirm that area of the screen by pressing the comma or space bar. Good luck.

You might also try a Gingerbread Rom as I've noticed the accuracy to sometimes be off on ics Roms, especially near the screen edges. Or, maybe try a different keyboard.

how to calibrate keyboard on jellybean ?
i think ... calibrating touchscreen is important to....how to do that on ICS and JB ?
Anyone come accross how to do this yet?
Brightness is set to maximum but dims when in low light.
Thanks.
As of the moment no way to set the auto brightness to off. Maybe some software update oughta to do it, or some genius gets pissed off and develop one.
I also noticed that when you force off the capacitive button lights (useful when dark) via software, the keyboard light will not turn on also (not useful when dark).
The x10 mini has locked auto-brightness too and it can be disabled this way:

Maybe it works on the mini/active as well?

Edit /etc/hw_config.sh using RootExplorer
1. change the line: i2c_pwm_als with i2c_pwm
2. set permissions to rwxr--r-- (744) if they are changed! VERY IMPORTANT!
3. reboot and enjoy the missing sensor

how and where do you do this? is this a setting somewhere? (cant find it)
or do you use 3rd party software? (if so, whats it called?)
^ Its an app on the market called "Screen Filter". I use that to further dim the screen (at nights), thereby save battery as well. And its free, as in really free, no ads at all unlike many "free" but has ad pushing. You can turn off the capacitive button lights when you prefer to setup a widget for it.

Looks like the format has changed in this file.
But this one looks interesting:
echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h
I guess it can be tested "live" by doing:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable
I'm on a non-rooted build so I can't test myself :-(

I found another app, which may actually be better, as it turns off the backlight of the capacitive buttons, but leaves the keyboard backlight active when opened!
it's called "Keyboard backlight controller".
funny enough, this is supposed to disable keyboard backlight, but on the Xperia Mini Pro it disables only the backlights of the soft-keys!
edit: forgot to mention, this app needs root, so may not be for everyone.
Whoa nice find, I'll try that when I can

Anyone also notice the screen flickers when dimmed?

yes, this is caused by the auto brightness, which can't be turned off in the user interface.
I've played around with hw_config.sh file, trying to get it disabled, but to no avail.
Anyone else more luck?
I've found an application that works, it's called "Disable Auto Brightness".
It was made for another Xperia type phone, but also works on the mini pro (and I assume mini as well).
It works, but its somewhat unhandy: it'll disable the auto brightness sensor, but only after unlocking. so while using the stock lock screen, it works almost perfectly, but when using something like widgetlocker, it'll only work if you leave the system keyguard enabled (under advanced settings) which I don't really like too much.
so for anyone having these flicker issues, this is a fairly good solution.
but I'd like to have the sensor completely turned off.
soooo, anyone any luck with that?

I guess that means the echo 0 to lcd-backlight/als/enable thing I posted a few days ago didn't work?

correct. including another few different settings I tried.
they do have effect on the brightness of the LEDs though, but sadly no turning off the auto brightness of the screen.

Yes, I know ;-)
Settings menu => Display => Touch-Key-... something with light duration.

could you elaborate please ?
with cm7.1 i had the light to stay on all the time for some reason/setting, and i couldnt find any settings for 'timeout of soft buttons'. I found a setting for turning off the 2 buttons' lights..but it doesnt always work.
changed the button's values from 255 to 0 in cm7settings>display>aut. backlight>edit other levels. now the soft button led lights are always off.
theres an app called 'screen filter' that can turn them on and off, if one want to keep that app running just for that. its annoying there isnt any proper settings and adjustment of these buttons..
Is there any way to turn it off?
MIUI don't have this option like CM7 or Samsung based.
Thanks
I also use Miui & the softkey leds being constantly on was also driving me mad. The workaround I found goes like this:-
Go into settings/display & make sure auto brightness is checked. Then go into advanced mode/edit other levels. Underneath the first two settings for "buttons" you'll have the values 255. Change these both to 0, then hit save settings at the top of that screen.
Once you've done that, if you're someone who uses auto brightness this should kill the soft leds for good. If you're like me & have your brightness on the lowest possible setting most of the time to save battery, you need to uncheck auto brightness. Then reboot your phone.
Once you reboot, the softkey leds should be gone, and will only return if you turn auto brightness on. If you do that & they reappear, go thru the steps again to get rid of them.
Let me know if this works for you.

Hi all, I have messed up the settings on my AOKP 4.0.4 Rom..
Under Settings > Device Settings. Screen modes and senarios.
Can someone tell me the default settings so i can have normal screen color like in stock? thanks
Also my Light sensor is not working, any idea?
Default settings are Scenario/UI
Mode/standart
Mine are camera/dynamique for best colors
My sensor works fine.Have you tick auto brightness in screen settings ?
Yep its on, still not working, dunno whats up. xD and thx for mode settings
Ask in your rom thread.
I dont use this one.
Works fine in Hydrog3nIcs
