Touch Screen Calibration

I was having problems watching internet videos with a stereo bluetooth connection.  It would randomly dial someone in my address book.  I also went into the service menu and tried to check the bluetooth version and it would come up blank.

I am no longer having this issue with the replacement phone.

This is good to know. I guess they want the touchscreen to be as accurate as possible.   Just so everyone knows, it's the same on the Samsung Pixon. You have to press it over and over and over sometimes for it to react.

I don't have an Eternity yet, but I have quite a bit of experience calibrating the touch screens on our Panasonic Toughbook laptops at work. They seem to also require a couple of taps with finger or the tip of a pen (closed) before they will jump to the next calibration point.

Weird. I guess I don't really understand how it works. I never use any sort of stylus so it is curious to me how calibrating the phone with one will help me when I use my thumbs - it's not calibrating anything unique to my touch. With other devices (palm pilots specifically) when you calibrate them, if you were to tap on the screen a centimeter to the left of each target (for example), then the next time you tap on the screen the click is going to register a centimeter to the right of where you tap. This makes perfect sense to me... if you consistently click slightly off to the side of what you are trying to select (which frequently happens to me with my eternity), then calibrating the phone should account for this and solve the problem, but now I'm guessing that's not what this calibration feature does.

I'm even using a stylus now and it isn't changing anything for me. Now I can't get past the first target.

I'm surprised no one else figured it out but, here's my two cents. First time you do the calibration, its perfect, the phone assumes you are hitting the dead center of the target wherever your touch may be. The problem is, running the calibration test a second time, or, any amount of times afterward forces the test to use your previous test's settings. for example, if in the first time you run the test the phone recognizes you hitting slightly to the bottom right of each target, then the second test will consider slightly to the bottom right of the target as dead center, regardless of where you see the actual target. This is a pain and a possible flaw being that, to properly calibrate multiple times, consecutive tests should default the center of the target to where it shows up on screen. The nintendo ds's calibration for example does just that, it always begins with the target in the dead center of the target on screen. Understand this or not, it shouldn't be like this and i for one hope it is fixed in a later patching of the phone's software.

Mine was acting so strange that I could never get past the 3rd calibration +.  I did a phone reset, and it is responding so much better now.

I don't know what the heck happened, but it was making me really angry.
