Touchscreen accuracy wayyyy off.

I've only had my Omnia i910 for about 2 weeks now, I like it a lot. Just recently the accuracy just kinda petered out. If I press a button it doesn't register unless I press a bit off location.

First thing I did was calibrate it...MANY times. The hokey part is the screen coords it registers look only a few pixels off the screen calibration tweak going around.

What it's doing is funky. I installed a screen drawing app just to see how far off it's registering my finger/stylus movements. As I approach the center of the screen it becomes more accurate...but as soon as I move away from the center the point registered leads the actual contact point of my finger/stylus. In all directions. So badly that on the SIP if I poke T on the keyboard it presses G instead. Very annoying.

Is this something common? Or do I have a bad digitizer? I've had tons of PPC's and touch screen devices...this is a first to go sour on me =/

Send it back, get a new one. It's still under the 30 day warranty. At least that's what I would do if it annoyed me. Verizon overnights everything, so it wouldn't take very long for the new one. But maybe... someone else has an easier solution??

Sounds like a bad screen.

I agree here. Send it back and have them replace it.
