Hi there.
I have developed a little App, that takes a shortcut to the "Recalibrate Touch Screen" linux binary.
If your device is rooted, the App will recalibrate the touch screen immediately.
If not, it will take you to the last configuration menu, where you just have to push the button.
(Unfortunately I may not post any links.)
It should work for all GEN8 devices.

I have a blog, where you can read how I developed this app.

kthxbye.
Thanks ! This really helped.
Thanks, seems to help alot
It's still no premium touchscreen, but it's improved
Why not using ?
Parameter/Repair & Formating : Touch screen calibration ?
I didn't really have issues with the touchscreen except that at the sides responsiveness could be better so I've tried this...
now my touchscreen is VERY unresponsive! It's really really jerky.
Uninstalled the app, did a normal calibration, reboot etc don't help
I guess I should have followed my own rule: if it's not broken, don't try to fix it
*edit: I found on another forum a tip to do a calibration via the recovery menu and this SEEMS to help (fingers crossed)

Hello,
Long story short my ARC's accelerometer's X/Y axes are way off (can't use any apps that require accelerometer). Is here any way to calibrate it?
I think a hard reset may be the only way to restore the accelerometer (assuming it was not perma-damaged when you dropped it). There is a similar thread on the X10 forum

Unfortunately I don't think there is a system menu where u can calibrate it......could be wrong tho.

Thankyou for the link,
Also accelerometer itself is working just axes are off and here isn't any options in system menu/service menu to calibrate it (At least I couldn't find any).

No probs
Have you tried an app called Bubble? (spirit level app). What happens when you try to open this? I know you can calibrate the accelerometer within that app, but not sure if it applies to system settings too. Might be worth a try
I've tried buble level app. After calibration it works perfectly but calibration isn't system wide.
Hey, try downloading the game 'jetcar stunts' from the market, there's an option there to calibrate the accelerometer. Try that and see if it works

Frankly, it s quite a known issue t the Desire has a faulty touchscreen and you should know that by having used the search button with lots of occurences.
First thing first: The HTC Desire has a dual- touch screen type and not multitouch. The means it has been designed mainly to support pinch to zoom actions. Therefore only two fingers can be recognized "fine",on the screen.
Why "fine"? Because it actually takes the real position of the first finger and calculate the virtual position of the second finger. This touchscreen configuration has created an issue that is well known as Axis swapping and stickiness. Search this on the Desire and you should get more information that, I hope, will help you very well

Thanks about the fast awnser =]
I searched about touch related issues, but this is not the problem Iam talking about...
I cant use the phone in avarage use, I getting crazy from using it every day,
Its hardware related issue...
Up, help please
Assuming you can disable multitouch. Your screen acts like it's always touching the top right side of the screen, then you wont even be able to swipe your finger as that top right screen bug will always make use of the touch functionality.
You determined it's a hardware issue then go replace the screen.
Hello all,
Today I started working on an app to test Windows 8 touch capabilities with my Synaptics touchpad. The app kind of works at the moment, but only with one touch point. I haven't figured out how to get the number of the touch point in the touchpad packet data.
How To:
Download the app (link below) and run the SynapticsToTouch.exe. It should work now, try using your touchpad. You may want to calibrate your touchpad with the Calibrate button. Click it and follow the instructions.
Download v0.3 alpha: https://github.com/downloads/Digiex/SynapticsToTouch/SynapticsToTouch_v0.3_c3902b3a54.zip
Source code: https://github.com/Digiex/SynapticsToTouch/
Issue Tracker: https://github.com/Digiex/SynapticsToTouch/issues/
Please fork and fix any bugs you might find
Bug reports and feature requests should go to the issue tracker You can report in this thread too, but they might get ignored.
Awesome work, I always wanted to try Windows 8's touch interface.
It works nicely, however it has some glitches, like tapping in one section of the panel actually translates in the other side of the screen, taps on the start screen get interpreted as scrolling, etc.
It's kinda difficult to hit small buttons tho
Nice work, would like to see more of this.
Keep it up :good:

I fixed the tapping bug, thanks. v0.2 alpha: https://github.com/downloads/Digiex..._07170ef033b5a3eade530a78d9de395e3350da3a.zip

v0.3 alpha adds minimizing to taskbar and saving calibration settings. Also a button to run as admin so touch input works everywhere. Download: https://github.com/downloads/Digiex/SynapticsToTouch/SynapticsToTouch_v0.3_c3902b3a54.zip
This is Great! I have been looking everywhere for something like this. To be honest I don't know why the synaptics touchpad isn't designed like this from the start. Synaptics says it has a suite of gestures. Well that's all well and good but half the time the gestures just get in the way. For instance sometimes I just move my finger from left to right and all of a sudden I find myself going from the desktop to the "Start" menu (the one with the apps).
Just noticed something: Is there anyway you can make a keyboard shortcut override? Because of course as soon as you touch the pad it is interpreted as a mouse/finger down event, yet getting the precise location is difficult. So if there was a way to override the mouse/finger down event just until you are in the right area that would be good I think. At least until the user gets used to where on the touchpad to touch in relation to the display.
What the deference with official Synaptics app. official work very good for me

This app allows you to touch anywhere on your touchpad and have the cursor move to that location on the screen as if you had a touch screen
I had a screen rotation problem.
After looking around i was able to find a few threads that mentioned the orientation fix but non helped me out. I was running a cm11 kitkat rom.
As suggested in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644355 i downloaded advanced tools app from the play store.
As you can see nothing happened after hitting the reset button.
Non of the codes on this thread helped me or didn't work on kitkat http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Focus
I also tried the unroot method which took me down to 4.0.3 and the screen calibration tool there did not helped me either.
I decided to install BeastMod ROM found here http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-ga...mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989-great-battery-life/
This took me down to Gingerbread 2.3.5 and with it two calibration tools i was able to fix my screen rotation problem.
Back on kitkat. Screen calibration worked.
carpenter app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ihandysoft.carpenter.toolkit&hl=en
advanced tools app. I guess that's how its suppose to show up when the orientation sensor is calibrated. Got the same result on my other s2.

Nice! Thank you!
hi guys,
I need a big help because after trying to root my z1 compact using this guide link, my touchscreen is not responsive. I did do every step on that guide, and succeed to root. but, the first time I boot, there is a middle part of my z1c screen not responsive, I cant click or touch or anything on that part. so, I think this is software related, and I tried to start all over again from the 1st step.
and, here comes the big problem. after I flash the docomo rom (step 7-9), the bottom part of the screen which is the back button, home, and recent apps is not responsive at all!! I cant do anything!
please help me, I want to post to that thread but my post count is not eligible to post there. so I looking for help here.

after I flashed it with stock rom 4.4.2, I confirmed that this is a hardware related problem. the notif area, the middle screen, and the back home recent apps button still not responsive. my phone stuck in the language selection because the next button to proceed is located at the bottom of the screen which is not responsive. maybe I just go to the sony service center to make a claim. damn you sony!!
