Touch Sensitivity

[goodintentions]

Shouldn't this thread be stickied?

 

[hazkal]

This really should be sticked..

I was having a horrible time with areas on my screen, mostly along the outer edges (home button on top left, enter or backbutton on keyboard, etc).

This finally fixed it. I had installed TnT 4.4.0 and had to put the calibration.ini file on /sdcard not /sdcard2.

Glad I found this and tried both locations.

edit: wrong TnT version listed

hmmm... I placed the empty file in /sdcard days ago - and have powered down, rebooted, awakened from sleep countless times since - and the file is still there (VEGAn 5.1)

- michael

with root explorer I placed the file one level up above /sdcard (so essentially in root)
and that's the file that calibrated and then seemed to have disappeared after I rebooted.

But anyway, it worked beautifully!

And I definitely vote that this should be stickied as well!

+1 for this fixing the touch screen issues. I found myself jabbing at the home soft key so many times I wanted to toss this thing out the window. I had to hit it at just the right angle -- same went for anything along the edges. Now it's perfect.

You guys are awesome!! My tablet never had this problem but my wife's g tablet from Woot had the dead zones and I found this thread and bingo! Like a brand new screen! Thanks a million! She is very happy now and I don't have to hear how I suck for making her get one!

Major thanks to epods_one, roebeet, rcgabriel, and others for posting calibration info, instructions, and files!

Was rather discouraged yesterday evening with the touchscreen and how difficult it was to select, scroll, etc....this fix turned my Gtab into a completely different machine!

 

[Kershek]

This fixed it right up.

At the prompt #

1. touch /sdcard/calibration.ini
2. /system/bin/TSCalibration.

I tried doing this (without the period after TSCalibration) and I get an error:

can not open the file calibration.ini in emmc !

I've placed an empty calibration.ini in both sdcard and sdcard2. I also tried using "exec /system/bin/TSCalibration"

I tried booting with the calibration.ini in both sdcard and sdcard2, leaving it for a few minutes before using, and I still have dead spots along the edges.

I'm using the brand-new VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 build on a Viewsonic G-Tablet.

Any ideas?

I started getting dead zones on both the left and right sides of my G Tab after I applied a Skinomi screen protector. I was going nuts. I ran the Terminal Emulator, ran these commands, bingo.

THANK you! THANK you. You're all going to heaven.

To reply to my own post, I flashed my ROM to VEGAn beta 5.11, noticed the continuing dead spots, touched calibration.ini in both sdcard and sdcard2, and whammo! Very responsive screen! I guess it was the VEGAn GB version that was doing it... That's ok, because the lack of video acceleration was killing me.

Thanks for this thread!

I thought I'd post to say "Thank You!". I just recieved my GTab yesterday from the second round WOOT sale. I decided to try the CyanogenMod-7.0.0-Harmony ROM. Spent sometime today getting it all setup and was also experiencing the deadspot issues. I used the suggested Terminal method and it worked perfect!

For TSCalibration to work in CM7, it requires the calibration.ini file to be in /emmc

(I'm new...so I'm not sure if this is obvious to everyone. )

I'm having this exact same issue, was TScalibration not found for you either when you tried to run it in terminal emulator?

I'll try switching ROMs as you did

Well, I was able to run TScalibration, but I got the error "can not open the file calibration.ini in emmc !" After switching ROMs I noticed TommyGloves in this thread said there was an emmc directory, so if you haven't switched yet, try creating a calibration.ini in that directory and trying it again.

Truthfully, though, I've been very happy with 5.1.1, mostly because of the video acceleration. I also found VTL Launcher to give me the same launcher options on the sides as the VEGAn Gingerbread ROM had.

It seems to me, after looking at a strace output, that we should be able to get rid of the whole calibration.ini file creation mess with this simple command:

$ su
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/tegra_touch/calibration

Both the echo and the TSCalibration commands produce the same kernel message:

[74641.298524] AT168_SetCalibration OK .

This is, basically, what the TSCalibration command does (edited strace output):

execve("/system/bin/TSCalibration", ["/system/bin/TSCalibration"], [/* 16 vars */]) = 0
...
open("/proc/cmdline", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
read(3, "mem=448M@0M nvmem=64M@448M vmall"..., 1024) = 371
write(1, "get devicetype!\n", 16)       = 16
write(1, "get btmac!\n", 11)            = 11
open("/data/BCM4329B1.hcd", O_WRONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
lseek(4, 28, SEEK_SET)                  = 28
write(4, "\234^\326\23\32\0", 6)        = 6
close(3)                                = 0
close(4)                                = 0
open("/mnt/emmc/calibration.ini", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
write(1, " open the file calibration.ini i"..., 48) = 48
open("/sys/devices/platform/tegra_touch/calibration", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
write(1, " open the file calibration in /s"..., 86) = 86
write(4, "1", 1)                        = 1
close(4)                                = 0
close(3)                                = 0
