Hey guys, is there a way to calibrate the nexus s touchscreen? Sometimes it is unresponsive...
Anybody?
unresponsive? Maybe you just need to make a good wipe and fresh instal of your rom/kernel..
no?
I don't think so because it happened since gingerbread 2.3.6, and now i have brainmaster's stock 4.0.3 with eugene's kernel and still happens sometimes... and i did a full wipe before flashing ICS.
i used the nook screen calibrator from the market...it worked fine for me

I'll give it a shot and let you know, thanks. BTW, on the market i've found Nook Screen Recalibrate, it is the same as you used, right?
Edit: I've tried the app and it managed to improve the touchscreen response, but didn't solve my problem at all (phantom touches). But they're almost gone. Is there any other app like that?

Same thing with mine. The phantom touches are only vertical but the device has become unusable.
I'm installing Cyanogenmod 10 now. Let's see if that helps.

It didn't help. touch seems to work but if I hold the touch the touch sensor goes crazy and starts touching several random points in the screen, all in the same vertical as the place I touch.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Replace the screen, sounds like a physical issue to me.

Could be but since the problem started after I ran the Nook Screen Recalibrate my first suspicion was the program.
I'm trying several different solutions from other threads and none seems to work:
- TouchRecalibrate.apk
- calibration.ini
- ts_calib-signed.zip

If you wipe everything and flash a rom, there's no way it's a software issue.

Well, it's working now. I don't know exactly what soved the problem but in my despair I re-executed all procedures and something must have gone right. Wish I could tell what fixed it for others but I really don't know.
Thanks for the help polobunny
Same problem
Hey,
I got the same problem,
so I did some research, I found out that there lots of people got the same problem.
A wipe, or install an other kernel or rom will work, but it will for some reason return.
For some models it's enough to install a kernel with some other touchscreen preference. One problem, it will only work on android 2.3 there are not jet other newer kernels published
But 99% its not a screen problem, so u can buy a new screen and replace it with no success. But most of the people say it's a hardware problem. So modify the touchscreen driver.
sorry, bad english​

Hmmm... I am going through a similar problem... I've noticed that when this unresponsiveness occurs and I keep my phone for charging the touch becomes normal again. But as soon as I disconnect the problem comes back.
I had this issue before too. When I was on TheFrankestains miui v10.5... And now I am on RemICS v2.
I'll like to mention here that on v1 of RemICS I didn't face this issue. In v2 the developer did mention a change in the kernel.
Also another er thing with the unresponsiveness the bln is acting weird too. Now I don't know what to conclude from all this.
And ya when it had occurred before I did take it to the customer service. And all they did was remove my screen guard and reflash the stock. :what:
The problem disappeared that time but it has resurfaced again. :sly:

Even I'm facing this issue and thats the exact reason i'm not going to service center. I doubt its a H/W issue cause the screen does work! If it had been a H/W problem then the shouldnt have been any touch response!
Its might be similar to backlight issue but too bad we're facing it on stock aswell.
I had posted a logcat in the dev ICS thread but no response from anyone.
If there are more people facing this issue then please come forward.
I got only one phone. . And i cant use it.

I'm on ICS Alpha V6 . I get this problem occasionally.
Problem occurs when i get a call and the touch becomes unresponsive. Not all the times but sometime. If i lock the screen and unlock it becomes proper. Sometimes it takes 2-3 locks and unlocks. Weird. Never had this problem in stock before .
Everytime this problem starts after a call. Happens on stock as well as custom Roms. Can't figure out if it's software or hardware problem. But the touch becomes normal when the phone's kept on charging.
Anyways going back to the customer service tomorrow. Will tell them to change the touch panel.

Probably Hardware, i am using RemICS v2 and NOT experiencing this issue on both my device and my sister's device (tried the call thing too)
I advise you guys to go to the service center (without a screen protector) and with the stock rom (so they don't have to flash anything) so they see it live, and hence there's no point of flashing stock again (over stock lulz) they'll probably change the screen for you.
i have the same problem now.. i dunno if i will ever get this phone fixed. my warranty's expired for a month.

I'm in Chennai right now. Was having the problem in goa. Don't know if the weather has made a difference.
Will find out when I get back to goa.
Btw, I had flashed UCv15 yesterday. So try flashing it and stay on it for a few days.

Everyone needs Help here dude...!!!
Same problem for everyone...
is it more likely to be a hardware issue??
It is a Hardware issue.
I gave my phone to the Service Centre yesterday. I called them today to check on the status. They said it's a hardware issue so they'll give it tomorrow. Let's hope for the best...
BTW I will get an extended warranty on the replaced part, won't I?

And the problem is back. Not entirely though.
After deep sleep if I unlock the phone, the touchscreen doesn't work. I have to lock and unlock to get it working.
After unlocking, once the display goes off, the menu and back keys stop working. Have to lock unlock again.
Had flashed cm9 stock kernel yesterday morning since gps isn't working for me in UCv15. Didn't face any problem yesterday after flashing stock kernel.

by back cover you mean protective case? if so, yes i do!
and the touch panel means the digitizer right?
has any noticed "jitters" with there phone screens becuase ive notived lately that my phone "jitters" ( kinda like a reception issue i guess ) were the screen flickers on an off and im needing help in regards to fixing this issue ( IF IT CAN BE FIXED ) or do i need to send my phone into samsung to get replaced please let me know
I would get a replacement.. sounds like hardware failure

That happened to me and I had to get a replacement. Started off being a sporadic issue and progressively got worse, to the point where o could not use my phone when it happened. The phone would flicker a charcoal grey color, this would cover the entire screen except the notification bar. It hasn't happened with the replacement.

Are you running stock rom or have you rooted and run custom roms? could be a rom issue... if running stock possibly hardware issue..

i found the issue it wasn't hardware failure or rom is was actually using the TWRP 2.4 recovery i tested it with 3 of the roms i normally run as dailies ( tweaked 2.2 slim 3.1.0 Struck and PAC 4.1.2 and it jittered the screens like bad ( kinda like a computer that when it gets popped with a magnet / or older tv having f|_|cked up reception so i changed the recoveries and viola no more jitters so apparently the TWRP doesn't like blaze owners ( at least me lol ) but if there's anyone else experiencing these issues narrow down first before you consult a replacement

I'm not an expert but is a really strange bug.. maybe if you install some rom like FlyonGB in the development part, it will be fixed.. I'm not sure but you can try...
Make XXKPE full install without root or diodex and check again....if you still face this problem there is a big chance it's related to the hardware
Btw, I am not an expert.
I got mine fixed by replacing the cable flex it was a hardware problem

When I press something quickly and not so hard, touch doesn't get recognized. For example when I type in 4 PIN on a lockscreen 1 or even 2 out of 4 touches may not be recognized.
Apps, keyboard - everything has this issue.
Im now trying through different ROMs, official releases and etc to find most stable version of MIUI.
I really hope this is not hardware issue :/ Is there any way to calibrate touchscreen tho?
Does anyone experience same problem? It takes place only when I press not to hard on screen and quickly.
I haven't seen this problem, but I remember having an issue with a recent Motorola phone I tried for work. Removing the screen protector fixed it in that case.

I dont use screen protector yet, stores in my country still don't have them :d
SO I just noticed that problems are gone while I'm in TWRP. Keyboard is dream-like responsive, no random un-responses when I press to quickly and softly. It still recognizes a touch like a charm.
I guess its MIUI than?
They probably means it's kernel/touch driver related. If you have unlocked bootloader you could try the custom kernel. As always be sure it works for the rom version you are on and that you follow directions.

I have the opposite problem to this! If anything my screen is too sensitive, I have to be really careful lifting it or putting it down with the screen on, despite it not being a totally edge-to-edge display (which is one of the reasons I didn't buy a Mate 20 Pro, edge-to-edge looks great, but it's a pain in day-to-day use).
Well this is getting deal breaker for me. Touch is annoyingly unresponsive on latest stable build. Also on latest Beta build.
Does anyone experience same problem? please respond.

You got a lemon, this thing is one of the most responsive screens I've ever used. I have an essential phone so I know how bad it must be for you, the touch response on those is the worst I've ever experienced by far.

Depending where you bought it and what ROM you have I'd advise to download a ROM and purge the ROM now because if you are saying that the touch problem is in MIUI something is not right. Just wipe the phone and fastboot new ROM. If this does not fix problem RETURN IT FOR NEW ONE.
Can this happen because of unlocked bootloader?

No.
You are not crazy dude.
Same here.
bought today the European version and, in the first Google wizard, touch was unresponsive for, for example, the next button.
Now I don't have any issue.
So, you are not crazy.
Ps
And no: I'm locked.
Same problem here...
Mine was totally fine, really responsive and nice, up until I installed the MIUI 10.2 Global and now it's ****. Seems to be especially bad in the lower right corner. Seems to be software triggered...
My CN version running Xiaomi.EU rom has no problems with the touch screen or touch sensitivity, been running fine for the past 2 months or so. Also have tried on multiple roms (stock CN rom, CN developer rom, global rom).
Sounds like an issue with the EU/Global version?
I'm on Global ROM and facing same issue.
Same issue here with 256/8GB CN device, I unlocked the phone as soon as I got it and installed Global 10.0.11.0 on it. The touch issue happened when I updated the phone to 10.2 first via the updater. Then i thought it was an issue with dirty flash so I wiped everything via TWRP and did a clean flash. Still the same issue, i even tried the 10.2 EU rom. For now I went back to 10.0.11.0 and there's 0 touch issue.
I have the same issue, is it a software or a hardware issue ??
Was this solved by now or is it still an issue? I'm planning on buying a Mix 3 and this would be deal breaker for me.
