Screen problem

[maskedlion]

I am sure someone has the answer for this.
The "touch" part of my touchscreen has become less responsive. I have to bare down in order to get the screen to accept touch inputs. Anyone know how to adjust this?
Thanks

It really seems like there should be a registry edit for this like there is on the touch pro, does anyone know what it is?

I cant seem to find the posts I was looking for, but it seems that the titan was hardware limited when it came to changing screen sensitivity. I remember it being discussed in old threads but none of the registry mods, i.e. adding reg keys or changing reg keys did anything.

I could very well be wrong as this is speculation until I find those posts I remember reading a long time ago. I will keep looking too...

I appreciate it.
I wonder what I could do then to regain the functionality. It was working just fine until about 3 weeks ago and it now requires a much firmer touch.

I doubt this will help but just some thoughts. I don't suppose any of these may help but they are simple enough, well not so much the hard reset if you don't have a good backup solution.

Try going Start > Settings > System > Screen > Align Screen and tapping lightly to calibrate screen for lighter input.
Try a soft reset.
Backup you data and programs and try a hard reset.
Open up your case and check the connections and mounting of the screen. You just need a some small flat head screw drivers, a clean surface. A small plastic guitar pic helps for separating the case. Tweezers help if you have relative large hands. You could even just swap in a new screen. You may want to buy some of that special tape to hold a new screen in.

Here is a cab with my screen calibration just in case it helps.

Do you have anything that adds functionality to touches such as FTouchFloSL installed? Those can occasionally have unintended consequences. Try disabling or uninstalling them.

I have soft reset, hard reset, even installed a new rom. Every time I did the above I had to calibrate the screen, which is very, very, very difficult being that I have to bare down so hard.
Since I have a TP now I may try taking it apart. If I need to replace the screen, does anyone know where I could get one?

nothing special installed, but I have had them in the past.

I have had sensitivity issues with my titan ever since I have owned it. I had a spot in the screencenter of the top half that would take several seconds of holding the stylus on it to get an input.

I have tried to recalibrate several hundred times with very light touches, and it never seemed to help a bit. hard resets didn't help at all either. God forbid putting a screen protector on it, as it would render it useless.

I recently found a replacement "Touch screen digitizer" on eBay for less than $20, compared to $60+ for a replacement lcd and touch screen assembly. I was rather nervous about disassembling the touchscreen assembly, although I have taken the screen out of my phone a few times to try and find a secret gremlin causing the trouble. All in all, a razor blade to cut through the adhesive and taking the metal casing off the LCD to get at the very small connector for the touch panel was the most difficult part. It only took about a half hour and three beers of courage. Now it works better than ever before.

If you are electromechanically inept, I wouldn't suggest this fix, as it isn't just bolting in a new part. It does involve intricate work. There were a couple times I thought, "OH S%$#!" and I routinely take things like this apart. So try it at your own risk.
