The screen on my tablet becomes insensitive in certain areas, requires hard presses or doesn't respond at all. Funny thing is the problem seems to go away after about 30 min of use but returns if the screen is locked and unlocked. Anyone having similar issues or a fix? Currently running vegantab beta 4 but had same problems with tnt lite.
EDIT: this is the exact issue I have although this is not my video

Search for Calibration Fix in these forums. Depending on which ROM you are running, you can either create an empty file named calibration.ini file and put it at the root of your /sdcard or /sdcard2 and reboot. that seems to fix the issue for many people.
Thanks for the help! That fixed my issue.
im having the same issue. but this fix is not fixing the problem, unless i am doing something wrong. I am using the vegan rom.
I've used astro to create a new zip file called calibration.ini
but not working....am i doing something wrong the way I am making the .ini file? If so what is the correct way. (sorry if I am sounding completly stupid, I'm actually computer literate lol)
Is there another way to calibrate the screen?
I'd create the calibration.ini file on BOTH /sdcard and /sdcard2, then power off/on, not touching the screen, since there's apparently a hacked version of the calibration program, just to be sure.
have already tried that to no avail lol

Hi,
Sorry, didn't read your post carefuuly enough. Did you say you created a *ZIP* file?
Should be just an empty file, with filename all lowercase.
Jim
ok...not real sure how to do that.
can you give me a step by step?
I'm just now starting to dabble in android so im still low in the learning curve, sorry.

You can probably use ES File Explorer. Use that and browse to /sdcard. Click menu icon (the 4 lines icon), then New on bottom, then file, and type the 'calibration.ini' for file name. Do same for /sdcard2.
Power off, then on.
After completely on, use File Explorer again, to delete those files, otherwise it'll try calibrate every boot.
awsome...thank you very much!

My understanding is that the calibration apparently runs once when you power up, if it finds that calibration.ini file. No prompts or visible display.

It doesn't do anything different that you'll see at start-up. Make sure you let it sit for a minute after it starts so you don't mess it up.

How do you calibrate a touchscreen without registering touchpoints? Hmm. Interesting. I guess I should try this since people report it working. I don't have a problem when holding it landscape, but in portrait mode unless I'm reading an e-book, I find myself having to pay attention to touching buttons.

Well, I've certainly seen other touchscreens that do more sophisticated calibrations. Nonetheless, this seems to calibrate the un-touched state and it seems to achieve good enough results that everybody I've seen who's tried it with touchscreen sensitivity issues, issues with pinch-and-zoom, issues with soft keyboard keys in certain areas of the screen and so on, has posted that it fixed the issues for them.
Do not touch the screen while the tablet is booting. Wait for it to completely boot. The calibration process will pick up your touch, and interfere with the calibration process. I noticed today I picked it up and carried it across the room while booting the the screen was totally unresponsive. I have never noticed that problem ever before (I am old fashioned and still running 2.00 with the calibration hack added). When I rebooted it was fine and I remembered the developers for my Odroid T has said the same thing while they were working on a better screen calibration routine on boot.
I was running MIUI for a couple of weeks with no problem, a couple of days ago the lights on the keyboard and the circular buttons on the phone quit working. I didn't really think much about it, just figured it was a theme I applied just didn't agree with my phone. I tried restoring a nand of MIUI and still no lights. So yesterday I flashed mikshift ROM and still no dice. I'm now running the leak from yesterday and still none of my lights are working. I really don't want to run the ruu and go to sprint unless I absolutely have to.. any ides?

I have had the same problem using several roms. One fix that worked for me was to disable auto-brightness, reboot, enable auto-bright, reboot again with my finger covering the sensor & both keyboard+onscreen lights work again. Try it if you haven't already.

Hey it's not my fault this app adds in a stupid signature ;-)
I can manually remove it but then I have to push more buttons.
CM nightly builds have a lot of issues but Sense roms are a big no-no for privacy reasons. Look at the logs and see for yourself what the damn OS is doing in the background. Sprint & Google don't need to broadcast audio from my phone everytime I take a crap and the cops already get informed when you go over 65mph on the freeway anyways. Have you seen the secret Sprint web app that law enforcement uses on people? I have.

Well it looks like I'm not going to be able to do this until later tonight or tomorrow. Just a question, why is the file size in your link so much smaller than the one in the original thread??
It should be the same file since I've used it before. I will do an MD5 check and reupload if it's a mismatch. Does anyone have the MD5 sum of the original? If so pls post it. Thanks
EDIT:
Here is the updated link: http://web2.google-it.info/PG06IMG-backup.zip

Again someone please confirm the checksum. Sorry about the broken link.
Well ran the one "zip" back to stock and still no lights.. Not real sure what the issue is. I have noticed over the past 24 hours that the lights on the keyboard will randomly work but it's not consistent. Guess I'll be heading to Sprint at some point.
How i fix the keyboard lights
This is how i fix the lights on my keyboard, the home and and menu buttons those still dont know how. First you go to settings>display>check automatic brightness>go to system update>update profile> turn off screen (on/off button), this is the important part! unlock your cell phone using the keyboard. Dont press on/off button then slide the keyboard for some random reason that doesnt work, just slide the keyboard on landscape mode then the light of the keyboard should work i think. Hope this work for someone else too.
Tried flashing old ROMS and everything is still wonky. Buttons press randomly on my keyboard no matter what I press. At first I thought flashing another ROM would fix it but it didn't. What do I need to do to get it working correctly again?
have u tried app replacement keyboards? ie smart keyboard pro
Keyboard? You mean on screen keyboard? Thus touchscreen?

Yes I've tried wiping everything several times. I always do this before I install a ROM anyway.
I've tried Swype and Go Keyboard with the same results.
Even with different kernels I'm having the same problem.
Is it only on your keyboard? And does it lag when it happens?

No lag. No matter what ROM I use It seems around the E and the R keys on my keyboard are dead.
or maybe the cells/pixels there are dead.. use the developer options to test screen touch

OK I just did this and I sure enough there is about a half inch or so strip that isn't working at all. Is this a hardware issue now or is there still something that can be done on my end?

It's a hardware issue. Wipe data, return to stock, remove custom recovery, lock bootloader and send this baby to repair if you can.
If that's the case you're probably out of luck and it's a hardware fault. You could try doing a full wipe (data, caches, /system, /boot) and installing a stock rom again, but i doubt it'll do anything for you.
It's possible to change the screen (which replaces the touchscreen module), but seems to be pretty hit and miss with DIY, and who knows if that is guaranteed to fix it.

So... I'm really confused now.
Multiple searches, and reading tons of this forum on a daily basis for several months now had led me to the conclusion that the i727 and i727R are identical hardware... how is it possible that this isn't working on Rogers? Could it be something as silly as an environment variable set differently somewhere?
Looking forward to seeing a post that somebody cracks this puzzler soon. As far as I can tell all of the ATT and Rogers ROMS up to now were interchangable...
Have I misunderstood, or are these phones not physically (chipset, hardware...) identical?

They are as identical as two phone with different branding can be. The software is different and that leak is very AT&T specific. So there's something in there that screws up the R. If you take it south and run an AT&T SIM I'll bet it works just fine. The good news is that it is software so someone will find it and make a more generic version. Besides, I'm here to *not* run a stock ROM so I'm staying far away until it settles down and the devs have dived in.

Alright, beautiful. this works on my Rogers i727R. Just I have the home button issue. I'll look over the phone to see what else is working and not working over the next few hours while I'm in class.
Thanks!
Edit:
1) Receiving errors when trying to download apps on the market.
2) Trying to fix the home button. It works on start up on the homescreen, but once an app opens it stops working.
both known issues with fixes. (the main at&t threads talk about his)
Factory reset until home issue goes away
clear data/force stop to download apps.
joshuaauger said:
Here's how I fixed that. I ran dark side super wipe before install then install, run wipe data factory/ reset, wipe dalvik, fix permissions. (Overkill but hey just in case). After, when first boot comes up and the AT&T setup shows, click cancel then next. RIGHT when that's done pull the battery, before any apps install. Start back up and was fine, no home button issue but still no working reboot menu.
Anyways might work for others.

Nice! Does this update the modem & baseband as well? Can you post a screen of your About Phone settings?
Recently two n5 we have in the family started doing the same thing,
touch screen is not responsive (buttons do work) and the device must be
rebooted holding the power button to get it working again.
Quite annoying since it happens couple times every day.
Searched around but didn't find any reports.
Both phones stock, rooted, gravity box and touch control installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm going to take a wild guess here, But try uninstalling touch control and see if the problem occurs again. touch control has no issues on my phone btw.

What kernel are you using with touch control (Franco 33)?
It was working perfect for us with Franco till about rev 29, after that we got problems with graphic errors on the display once in the while, relished stock offered from touch control installation, and now this problem for change.

I wonder if an update to some app is causing this.
