my Kaiser+Any WM 6.1 = screen align. problem

Hello guys,
I don't post many threads with problems, but for this one i can't find any answer and this one seems really weird, cause it occurs ONLY on any version of 6.1.
So I have really bizzare screen alignment problem.
Sometimes when i tap screen with finger or stylus - it will tap not in the point where i want but about 4-7mm under the point. It never goes above the point - always under it. Sometimes it occurs time to time, but sometimes without stop. I don't know what's wrong.
I've tried different SPL's and Radios. I've done really really really many configurations with ROM+SPL+RADIO and nothing seems to resolve that problem.
This only occurs on 6.1 for me(every one). NEVER HAPPENED ON 6.0 ROM. Any.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is this a hardware problem? If so why i don't occurs in 6.0? If its software related, how to get rid of this?
Thanks,
Chris

try playing around with the touchflo sensitivity settings either through the registry or use Kaisertweak for it...let me knw if it helps...

I've done it already. I've played with every setting known by me.
Still doesnt work. I just flashed to 6.0. And again - there is no such issue.
Thanks for suggestion!

woot I'm no longer the only one with this! i set my sensitivity settings to Normal on kaiser tweak it's the best at reducing the frequency i can get it so far haven't found a 'fix' kinda given up only hope if t-mobile uk release their damn 6.1 rom so i can try and see if i can get the phone fixed or replaced via warranty. also it seems the problem is with the device not the roms im currently on the t-mobile 6.0 its has the same problem more noticeable when i set sensitivity > normal in kaiser tweak.
EDIT: something I've noticed is that maybe the sensitive part has moved away from the screen right now when at an angle i can see a 'large effect zone' like holding it towards the PC screen the tapping with a stylus and seeing the distortion of the reflection i would estimate it to be about 2 cm in radius from the point i touch the screen (maybe this is normal, people who don't have this problem see it you can see this) but I've seen it worse especially after taking it out of my pocket at the end of the day so i think heat my have damaged touch part causing it to expand and detach that would be body heat or heat from when the devices sometimes overheats when plugged in, anyway thats the only theory i can come up with

Thanks Infuruno for your suggestion. I think you have a good point in that disortion but there is one big difference in our problem, and I don't know why.
Its the WM version. Now I'm runnig 6.0 without any problem. Even if I want to do this - it never occurs. And I mean never!. I don't know what's wrong here
Anyway I'll soon try to buy the touch screen for Kaiser and change it.
Cheers,
Chris

6.0 seemed to have sensitivity set on normal by default while the 6.1 by default the sensitivity is set of high (> normal) at least looking at the official t-mobile 6.0 and every other 6.1 rom i've tested, and the touch screen thing is just a theory i came up while well literally as i posted that message just started putting things i've seen together maybe if someone who didn't have the problem could see if they got distortion before you buy a new touch screen.

I just got my Tilt (I came from the Sprint Touch) and I've noticed the same thing. I never used a 6.0 ROM, the guy I bought it from already had a 6.1 ROM on it and I flashed it to HyperDragon's PRO III ROM when I got it.
I was used to my Sprint Touch and it had a 6.1 ROM on it as well and didn't have a problem. It is very annoying if I try to use an onscreen keyboard for those times that I don't want to pull out the other one.

Done more tests.
Today I've installed new HyperDragon III Pro (great ROM ) and I still got that issue. After that - flashed Dutty's V4 RTM (6.0) - and you know what? It works just perfect.
I don't know wtf is wrong with that.

What happens when you set the screen sensitivity to normal using kaiser tweak on a 6.1 rom?

Hmm, nothing at all.
I've tried that every time. That doesn't work on that
Thanks!

This just sucks ass.... I really don't know what to do. I just flashed HD III Pro, Its great ROM, and I cannot use it cause of this ****ing screen thing.
Flashed back to random 6.0 --- no problems. Damnit!

Same problem for me, very hard to make a call

Changing the sensitivity seems to have helped it some for me. I still notice it but its not as bad as it was before.
In KaiserTweak I have Sensitivity and Finger Pressure both set to Normal.

I wonder then where is the problem? Maybe its a problem with some models of Kaiser?

I'm surprised there's not more people with this problem. Are you guys using an AT&T branded Tilt or HTC-branded, or other?
There's gotta be something in common with all of us.

What Hard-SPL version are you guys using that have the problem?

i have same problem
someday i flashed a new rom and i cant manage how to resolve this. i have that even on wm 6.0 roms. im setting up the sensitivity and it helps just locally, not fully at all. tried high sensitive on my friends kaiser and there is nothing worng with that.
i have tried many spls, but none of them seems to work
can anyone help with that?
i dont want to change my screen
ive tried many systems and spsl before, but never noticed this action.
please, somebody help with that.

I have an old Palm Tugsten T3 that started doing that, the way I fixed it was I went to the screen alignment page and clicked near the top of the bulls eye insted of the center of it, fixed it right up. try that and let me know how that works.

X1 Camera Shutter Problem

Hi guys 1st post here, Im having a problem with my X1 camera shutter button. Here it is, when im in the todays screen when i press the camera shutter ofcourse it will activate the camera application, and now here is my problem when I'm now in the camera application when I press the camera shutter nothing is happening, it's not focusing nor taking a shot but when I'm outside the camera application it is working. Any guys have an idea on how to solve the issue? Please give some advice, thanks!

You say that it does work when you're outside? If that is so, there's obviously nothing wrong with your X1, as the unit doesn't "detect" wheter it's indoors or outside
I'm thinking more along the lines of it's working, but it just takes a while. When inside with low light intensity, it might take time for the software to focus.

I mean outside is when i'm not in "camera application (taking picture mode application)". Not outside (outdoor) literally. The shutter button is not pressing.

That is very odd indeed.
1) Have you tried a hard-reset?
2) Have you installed any custom ROM's?

So far i did'nt hard reset nor install custom rom on my fone. I think that is my last choice if can't rid of this problem.

Does it work when pressing the joystick button instead of the camera button?

Have you tried soft resetting alone? Might be enough to fix it.

@on8a
yes, i used this button as an alternative shot at the cost of no automatic focus.
@THESpideyWVU
Yes i tried the soft reset.
Im not quite sure if this is the cause of the problem, the last time it was not working since I installed some softwares like Handango InHand and Resco Keyboard Pro, Im not satisfied with the software and then unistall them both.

I have the same problem - haven't found a solution.
The hardware camera button will launch the camer application (so yes, it is 'working') but it doesn't seem to be mapped to actually take a shot any more. It won't even auto-focus... it just does nothing once the camera program is open. The joystick button will take pics fine.
Seen several posts from multiple people about this problem (on several sites!) but none with an answer!!!

Hi,
Can't believe it - I was gonna post a question about this today as I have discovered my camera button doing the same - it will launch the camera app but not actually take a photo.
I had Resco Contact Manager installed too but have removed it. I also have AE Button Plus installed, so am not sure if this is messing about with the key mapping.
Shame no-one's got an idea!
Does anyone know anything about where this might be stored in the reg?
Cheers all

Sounds to me as if a (any) program messed this up. First you guys/gals need to find a common program or software developer to see if that is somehow a commonality.
The other, in my opinion faster way to find that out, the first one with that problem and having any such program installed, who restores/resets the phone and then the button works again.... that will in any case proof for that instance that it was any of such programs that messed it up in the first place.
Just a suggestion...

*bumb*
I'm having the same problem. Any news on this matter?

Just discovered recently I am having the same problem. The thing is tat even the volume buttons which is supposed to make it zoom doesnt work also.
The strange thing is tat the volume (zoom) button and the focus-take picture button will work when i slide out the keyboard. But it is just weird tat I have to slide out the keyboard to take a picture and the button is not so accesible either.

Indeed. I'm having this problem as well. Might be a program conflict but I have no idea which. Do any of you have GProfile/GAlarm/FingerKeyboard2 installed as well?

What is the Firmware you guys are using? How about flashing to the latest 'official' one and see/check PRIOR installation of those programs, if the issue is there. If so, call SE for warranty because then its probably a hardware issue.
Otherwise I guess very strongly that those 'keyboard mapping programs' mess up this button. It seems obvious to me at least! "Remapping Keyboard Button"... then camera button doesn't works... hm...

hi
anyone found any solution yet. i am facing the same problem as well. I cannot remember when it started not to work but i remember it is still working before i update to the official R3a firmware. I have also installed the auto-flash and disabled the shutter sound. Did any of these broke the key function?

I have GAlarm and Fingerkeyboard2 installed but i cannot remember if the button works before i installed these programs. I have also discovered that my camera button works, meaning i can do focus and take pictures if i slide out my keyboard, therefore i think it is more of a software issue rather than hardware defects

Out of those three, I have G-Alarm installed. No camera button mapping problem.

I have the problem on the latest FW..both on the official 6.1 and the cooked 6.5 roms. I have a feeling that it might be FingerKboard2 but I haven't uninstalled it to try yet. The only app that I had which remapped anything was GProfile but uninstalling that didn't change anything.
Shutter key DOES work when keyboard is slid out though.

I have this issue as well...
i only have the Rhoidum keyboard installed.

Any way to fix the gyroscope?

On my third galaxy note now, read more about it here.
The gyroscope isn't working, I've tried calibrating it many times and I did a factory reset of the phone.
Is there a way to fix this or am I screwed?

i think i have the same problem! the accelerometer works perfectly, but the gyro doesn't move at all while calibration, is that what u r facing?

Yeah, the gyro ball isn't moving at all during calibration. The accelerometer is moving correctly only after calibrating it, but after some time the ball can be on the left side when it's supposed to be on the right side or something like that.. I'd hate to be forced to send this one back as well... pretty tired of sending back replacements and on Samsung's bad quality control of their new released product...

though the gyro isn't getting calibrated, but i think it's working perfectly. correct me if i'm wrong, maybe some1 who has used other phones having gyro may know better

For me the ball in calibration menu is not moving at all. However, if I dial *#0*# and select sensors, readings from gyro are ok. Seems like a software problem.

Indeed. If you download a sensor checker you will see it is working perfectly... the little ball in the calibrator doesn't just move.. = software.

Thanks to tomksoft for the *#0*#0 code

Forget me if I'm wrong but the ball shouldn't move should it? Little test for you guys, go into calibration and move the phone around, do you feel a slight pull from the phone when moving it? as if you were holding a spinning gyroscope? Mine does this, its a weird sensation but if it does do this then your gyroscope is working fine. I think if the ball moved the gyroscope would be broken because its suppose to stay dead centre?

Hello all!
I also thought my gyro wasn't working, because the calibration ball stood still. Before I knew about the sensor test code, I found a nice app to test it, called GyroRotate. It basically just shows a colored cube which rotates if you rotate the phone. Seems to be working great on my phone. The only thing is that when I do 360 degrees with phone, the cube seems to have rotated only 180 degrees. I don't know if this is the gyroscope reporting such values, or the app is coded in such a way.

I didn't come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the gyroscope because the ball isn't moving during calibration. But because screen rotate will work randomly and I need to calibrate it again for it to work until it starts acting weird again. For an example, if I tilt my phone to the right it will act as if I tilted it to the left. Sometimes it will act as if I was holding the phone in landscape mode when I'm not etc.. Really annoying.
Edit: I also have problems with playing games like Labyrinth where the ball won't respond accuratelly to how I am moving the phone.. It will work if I calibrate the phone but after a while it will stop working again.. I also did the *#0*# test and it said PASS.

I don't actually have a Note yet, it's in the mail, but could it be that you have to hold on the screen for it to work? The reason why I bring this up is because, correct me if I'm wrong, in the browser if you press and hold onto the screen with two fingers and move the Note it zooms in/out, and this function uses the gyro, I believe.

k1ng617: no, at least for my Note, the ball stays in the center whether I put it on the table or pick it up and wave/rotate all over the place.

How about in the browser does the two-finger hold and zoom work? Or the move an item across homescreens work by motion? Phonearena says this is handled by the gyro. If it does it might just mean the application is broken.

Yes, the two-finger zoom works flawlessly. The motion-icon-moving does work, although I can't seem to always get it to work.. But I'm guessing it's using accelerometer, since I have to move the device left/right (this also works if I don't rotate the phone at all and keep it straight while moving left/right)

My Note's gyro is broken too It's easy to test the gyro with e.g. google sky map

G-sensor trouble

Hi all. I`m experiencing some difficulties with g-sensor. From time to time phone acts weird as if it rotates, changes position from portrait to landscape just lying on a table without being even touched. I don`t know what`s the problem, whether it`s hardware or software. Help me please. sry 4 my english)

Try holding the phone level in your hand, screen up, then move it in a figure 8 motion. This worked on previous phones and should hopefully help this one as well.

Try on many Roms. now on ISC and problem still appears. i'm ready to disable g-sensor. problem is really annoying. i'll make video with this "bug" shortly.

I had some issues with mine as well. I can't say it rotated on its on sitting on a table, but certainly when in my hand when it shouldn't. I wound up using Beautiful Widget's rotate sensor to rotation off. The advantage of the widget is that you can quickly turn it on if you want it.
Even with the rotation turned off with the widget, rotation still occurs when you open the keyboard, which for me, is perfect!

Thanks for the tips! I have used both methods. seems the problem is go away.

Compass calibration

I've been trying to calibrate my compass in Google maps but no matter how much I try, the accuracy is still "Low"
Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks for the video. I downloaded a compass app and it was not responding at all. I just rebooted my phone and it's working again. Very strange.

Mine too. I followed the tips in the video above but it's still not really working. Whenever I open google map the accuracy is high initially, but if I move the phone toward another direction the beam becomes wider and turns to low accuracy. No matter how many times I calibrate it's still like that unless I restart the phone. Weird. Not solved yet.

I have problems with Google maps it is inaccurate, it jumps to different streets, unknowing which direction I am heading. I tried to calibrate, I deleted cache, updated, the only solution I found to uninstall all updates and going with the stock apk.
