Default Missing screen touches, accuracy?

Running CM7.0.3 of 8GB uSD card. When using the stock browser, it seems like I frequently have to tap several times to get the NC to recognize I am trying to tap/touch the link. Does anyone else have this issue? I used a nook screen recalibrate app ( https://market.android.com/details?i...ookrecalibrate ), but haven't noticed any difference.

I just noticed, that Nook must be rooted for the recalibrate app. Stupid question I'm sure... is my Nook "rooted" if I am booting/running from the addin uSD card? I didn't do anything to the builtin memory device (it still has stock 1.2 I think).

I have never noticed any phantom/ghost touches.

So, anyone else having these missing touch problems?

Thanks!

cm7 = rooted
run the nook touch screen calibrate app not plugged into the power

also, getting a screen protector helps with phantom touches

I pretty much never use the Nook while it is plugged. Are there any other utilities to help determine if the screen touch sensor is calibrated? I remember way back to the Palm days, there was a recalibrate function to help keep touches lined up with the display.

Remove the uSD, boot into your stock ROM and see determine the responsiveness of your NC screen.
If it's bad, back to B&N.
If it's good, blame your uSD.

First off. Clean your screen. Turn the screen on and off and then run the nook screen recalibrate app

I notice that a simple screen on/off and a regular screen cleaning helps
