If your screen is unresponsive in certain areas, try this first!

When holding the G-Tab in portrait, the upper left corner of my screen was unresponsive. I couldn't hit the "Home" button in the ROMs. When I turned it to landscape, I could hit the "Home" button just fine. Also, the very right side where the launcher icons are, are either hard to press or I have to press longer for them to respond.

Since I just got my G-Tab, I thought I may have gotten a bad screen, so I ordered an RA (return authorization) through TigerDirect. Had my G-Tab packed back up in the box and ready to ship back for a replacement.

Until I saw this:

Touch Screen Calibration App

I didn't even know there was such an app. So, I unpacked/unboxed my G-tab, loaded a ROM. Ran the Screen Calibration app and WOW! My screen works perfectly in all spots from the tests I've ran.

I don't know how this app works, but it looks like it has saved me from paying to return my G-tab and wait for another to be shipped back.

If you are having problems with certain parts of your screen becoming unresponsive, or any other type of touch-screen issues, try this app first before you send your G-Tab back.

I keep forgetting to add this to my own ROMs. Thanks for reminding me about this app.

I'm just a very happy camper that I don't have to return my tablet now and wait for a replacement to come.

That's excellent that you're going to add it into your ROM. I think all G-Tab ROM chefs should add that app into their ROMs with the amount of touch screen issues people have had with these tablets.

This helped a lot, thanx bud! My G-Tab just feels more precise after the calibration.

I might add gojimi's Launcher too (I keep hearing very good things about it, but my device is usually in some semi-bricked state, half the time).

Since I flashed the last Clemsys Kernel (9) I did not had ANY calibration issue, can someone else confirm this, I am surprised of this myself...

The screen is much more responsive than it used to be...

Does this have any drawbacks? Any chance that it'll make your screen TOO sensitive?

Can this app be installed in the stock rom 3588?

Yes. I'm running stock rom until after the next update and I have this installed.
