Does anyone know how to calibrate the screen for sensitivity and not the s pen.
you dont, you calibrate the pen. under the button on the pen there are two dials. the closest one to the tip is the one you turn for the sensitivity. I cant remember which direction, one direction lessens it and one direction heightens it.
oops sorry, i didnt read the whole thing. I havent seen anything for screen, only the pen.

At first I thought it was either a fluke, or just not happening, but now I know it definitely is. I can press onscreen keys and buttons without actually touching the screen.
I've seen recently that there is a screen tech that registers hovering fingers but I'm not sure if the ClearPad 2000 hardware can do this. "I'm not sure" meaning "I have no idea."
Interestingly it is affecting the way I type as as I type and skim over onscreen keys, I will sometimes get that "run you finger across a piano" effect. If that's makes sense to people.
I do know that I have a habbit of giving an electric shock to many things and people. Maybe I'm just highly charged and it's affecting the screen???
Is it just me that gets this?
i just had a few try's and i couldn't do it, i had to actually make contact for anything to happen
AFAIK, capacitive touchscreens work by reacting to the natural hand capacitance (i.e. the tiny amounts of electricity stored in your body). Therefore, I suppose it makes sense that different people can have different levels of capacitance.
No doubt someone who knows will be along soon!
Sometimes, the screen can be very sensitive ... and sometimes, you can accidently touch the trackpad.
Yeah, I experienced this issue as well.

As already mentioned, capacitive screens do not actually register your finger touching the screen, but just the electric field your fingers produce when near to the sensor. The sensor in this case is actually a grid of thin wires spanned across the screen, you can see them when the screen is off and hold the phone at a certain angle to a lightsource.
So, depending on the calibration of the sensor, a finger will get registered even if you just hover over the glass.
No chance to hover and register a touch on mine, albeit when I hold the phone with my normal left-hand grip - my thumb being just above the volume key - it registers as a touch on the screen so a single finger slide doesn't result in a scroll but a zoom in/out. I really can't stand the length of the volume key.

perhaps its the optical track ball ???? That will do it ... 1cm away from the track area the screen moves. as it should
Nah, for me it's not an issue with accidentally rubbing the optical trackball. Plus I've tested this a number of times. I can hover a finger over the screen and get the screen to respond. So when the keyboard is up, I can type without touching the screen. Seems to work best with my thumbs. And interestingly, my right thumb works "better" (if I can call it that) than my left.
Maybe I am just highly charged. Especially when the weather gets hotter I give a lot more things electrical shocks. I'd better hurry up and get a protective case!
This has happened to me quite a lot. I wasn't entirely sure if just psychic? Hahaha!

Does it for me all the time, I can hover at a maximum of about 2mm above the screen and it still reacts!!

Conversely I can touch my screen really gently and nothing happens.

Yes this how my Desire reacts also, I can very very gently touch the screen without it being registered.
Hey Cleargrey,
I can confirm this behaviour on my Desire. The explenation given by petzlux is also correct.
Friendly regards,

Hey guys I just got my note 2 today and have been messing around with the S pen. Does anyone else notice that when pressing buttons on the screen to open apps or things in apps etc that it is not always responsive unless you hit it at the perfect angle? Also when I write normally i kind of write more at a sideways angle towards the screen but it seems to not register very well like this so I have to write more vertical towards the screen. Is there any way to fix these issues or is that just how it is at this time? Also i feel like if I write too lightly it doesn't register very well when writing. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity or am I the only one who thinks this? Lastly, if i touch the screen with my palm it makes a mark in s note i thought it was not supposed to do this or let your finger write when the s pen is out. How do I set this?

I have a similar issue where i seem to have to press hard to get a reaction, especially the app drawer icon.
I notice you have to hit dead on which makes sense. This isn't a pencil or pen where you can write slanted and the ink still touch the paper or what not. But rather the "ball" of the s pen is where your main contact should be. Takes getting used to but what doesn't? Pen works great once you learn how it works

I had to exchange my S-pen 3 times due to sensitivity issue! One of them was way too sensitivity, I wasn't even touching the screen and I could write on S-note... Store manager thought that was part of the Note 2's new feature... lol
Even after the exchange of S-pen I was still having little issues with it, and I ran across a thread about slamming the S-pen on the ground. I know it sounds bizarre but it actually worked! I didn't believe it at first but now my s-pen works flawless... so weird. :silly:

lol like throwing it or just slamming it? and yeah i figured it would just take getting used to I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just my pen. So is there really no settings to change for it though??
Also funny question... does it matter which way it is held? Like when I was first holding it you would press the button with your thumb however you could also hold it so you would press it with your index finger. Does it matter? Is it made to work better one way?

Take a closer look at the tip of the S-pen. It's actually slightly spring loaded! I discovered this from an early review video I watched before I purchased mine. I believe that the tip has to be pressed hard enough to slightly retract in order to produce a mark. Writing with the pen at an angle may not be doing that.

Mom said don't smack
But I just tried it and the pen is working 95% better. I don't know if it will stay this way but it's working pretty well (for now at least).
stupid but it works for me.

Hey I have the same problem with you but I have solved it in a stupid but effective way. I open the back case and press it, that's it the pen sensitivity back to normal.... lol try it easy and effective....
The S pen can be too sensitive, so you have to adjust its potentiometer. Yes, you heard that right.Just pop the button cover off by simply using a razor blade or something really thin, the cover should pop immediately. Then, you have to use a small flat head screwdriver and turn the screw clockwise. This will adjust the S Pen sensitivity. If you want to make it more sensible, then you have to screw counterclockwise. You should adjust it until it no longer has a problem. This fix has worked for a lot of people, so it should work as a general fix. If you still have problems with the S pen, then you should get in touch with the dealer that gave the phone to you and get the S pen switched because it is faulty.

Wish I had known this a last week before I broke my last S Pen. lol Worked great and I even adjusted my full size S Pen as well! Kudos!
I recently lost my S Pen, and purchased (on red hot sale) a Wacom Feel Black stylus. It's a great pen! When the thing is directly perpendicular to the screen, it hits at exactly center. The only problem here is that the thing's sensory whatchamajiggit is up inside the pen just a little too far, so that when I tilt the pen to write, the little circle floats beneath the pen just enough to infuriate me. Lecture Notes gives you the ability to change your offset (under "Input" in settings), and I found that the issue is fixed when I set it to -7px,-7px. Awesome! Now I just need to make this work for my entire system!
But, um... how would I do that?
No idea, sorry.
I had a look at this thread because I'm looking for a way to adjust the pressure sensitivity of the S Pen, just like you can with Wacom Tablet calibration software... Haven't found a solution yet...

Maybe I'm just retarded, but I can't seem to find the setting to recalibrate my screen.
It's been slightly annoying me because I bought one of those fancy adonit styluses, (The ones witht he plastic disc, supposed to be more precise), and it works great, however when I turn on the "show touches" function, the touch from the stylus ALWAYS registers slightly towards the edge of the screen.
If I touch in the center of my screen the touch registers dead on, but the closer I get to the edge screen, the further off it gets.
I've noticed something similar on my tablet. But in my case, the best alignment when showing touches is in the upper left corner of the screen. As I move farther down, the touches start to come up slightly down and right of where the stylus is touching the screen.
So It's been a couple of weeks and Ive still yet to find a way to fix this slightly annoying accuracy issue. Does anyone know a way of doing so?

Try flashing ts-20 from sfnub's thread, works better for me
just got a note 2, was testing out the stylus. seems to be acting weird.
I use sNote to test it, and when i draw with it, without touching the screen the line would start appear on the screen.
i had a note 2 a while back, and the stylus does not work like that, i remember you have to touch the screen, like drawing on the screen then the line would appear. I remember when you hover over the screen, they should be a tiny dot on the screen, but line should not appear on the screen until the stylus touches the screen.
is there any calibration i need to do? any help would be appriciated.
thanks.

If you're using a flip cover case that has magnets in it, that can cause serious issues. Otherwise, you just might have a defective stylus.
If you pop the button off the stylus, there's a small screw in there to adjust the sensitivity which typically corrects the exact problem you're having. It worked for me.

yes, that works. thanks.
