[Q] HD mini screen calibration

---

Hello,
I can't seem to find the setting to calibrate my screen. My screen is just off with the touch screen so I need to calibrate it. On other forums I read it should be under: settings menu all system. In that screen there should be a "screen" button. But in my dutch ROM 1.36.404.1 (94358) that button is not there. Can anyone confirm the button should be indeed there? And would there be an other way to start the calibration?
thx
Paul

In settings button, you will see sound & display button, come to the last option in this menu which is of G sensor, calibration, follow instructions and you are done.

option not available

thanks, but I checked it: the last option is G-Sensor, which helps me to calibrate it, the one before is for display: in that one, I can only adjust the brightness settings, when back light is switched off, whether is is controlled automatically etc, but nothing like screen calibration. Would this be ROM dependent?

There is no screen calibration control for current HTC models with capacitive screens. The original calibration control doesn't work as it's designed for stylus input and needs a pin point press to register.

So, HTC leave the Screen control out of the build, which is also the reason Cleartype can't be activated as it's part of the same control.

If you really want to try it, look in the Cleartype topic for the registry change needed to make the Screen control visible, but beware that using screen calibration might make things worse rather than better !

Inaccurate touch centering is one of the built-in downside of capacitive touch screens. There's no such thing as pin-point accuracy in this territory.

We're seeing similar complaints about Android devices, especially the Nexus One. The theory is that the software is supposed to be intelligent enough to register where a 'broad' point of contact is intended to be centred, but sometimes it simply doesn't work as it should.

The only remedy, if a soft reset doesn't sort it is to do a hard reset but reports say the benefits of this may only be short lived.

Use this registry setting
HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen and change from 1 to 0.

infact u dun need this function coz u'll never pass the calibration, i'd juz tried it yesterday(the capititive mon can't make an accurate calibration)
at last i need to soft-reset my device to leave the calibration page= =

You're right! Although my fingers are not the smallest, it does not work. Thanks and topic closed I guess.
