Default touch screen calibration?

Is there a way to calibrate the touch screen?

Thanks

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. ;)

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

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

I had MAJOR touch screen problems (not keyboard) and this seems to have fixed them!
