Question POLL: Issues with bottom of touch screen

Hi all,

I would like to ask as many people as possible to test the bottom of their touch screens using multitouch visualiser 2 (free from the market).

I (and many others as it seems) are finding the bottom 5-10 mm of the screen is very unresponsive, this can be checked in the above app easily and if you have the problem it will either pick up no input or the "target" will flicker like mad when you firmly press your finger in the area.

I would like to gauge what kind of percentage of units have the problem.

Cheers!

EDIT: I recommend trying this app- it has deffo helped this issue for me!

Hi Higgsy.

Yeah a seem to get some problems with the bottom left of mine, It kind of flickers when i move across the bottom 10mm of the left side when using multitouch visualizer. Its fine on the bottom right. I have always had a slight issue when trying to drag shortcuts from that part of the screen to the bin. but apart from the its not a major issue. I was hoping it was a software issue, but your poll suggests it may just be a few units. Have to keep this one until they are in-stock instore anyway.

pretty much exactly the same - try this - I just did and has actually helped - still a little un responsive - but no flicker now!

Thanks mate, that has helped a lot. No more flicker in multitouch visualizer. Dragging icons from that part of the screen is also improved. Seems to just be a calibration problem.

Happy Days

I've only found about a 2mm deadzone near the bottom, not nearly as bad as some that I've seen. Also seems to be a bit hard to press the home button in the notifications bar sometimes.

Thanks for posting that screen calibration app, I'll give it a look

Wow!

Higgsy I want your babies! Had a 10mm dead strip in the bottom left of my display, also had some issues typing on the keyboard, double hits drove me crackers, got to the point I couldn't be bothered to type. Well I used that calibration APK you linked and the deadzone has gone and even better my keyboard is much more responsive :)

About the babies thing.... might be a problem with me being a 42 year young hairy bloke :P. Settle for a hearty thanks?

Bumped it on modaco. Searched for this previously but its a bit of a dead thread.
