Cool Mobile keeps needing recalibrating :|

Hi, my orbit randomly requires me to recalibrate it by pressing in the four corners, etc.

It's infuriating because I rely on phone calls from various state departments and their numbers never show (so I can never call them back).

The problem ALWAYS occurs when I receive a call. By the time I finish the routine of pressing the targets, I've lost the call.

Can someone help me solve it? Is it a known problem?

TIA

No it's not a known problem!

I suspect a fault in the screen hardware, possibly faulty software.

How practical would it be to backup the Orbit and do a hard reset?

If you can, you could calibrate as part of the hard reset process. Leave the device as vanilla as possible and see if it re-occurs.

Let us know...

Re: Mobile keeps needing recalibrating :|

Are you using a screen protector? - I found with one of my less accurate fittings that the system seemed to realise I was off target and started asking for a recalibrate but once I had reseated the protector so it wasn't on a lip it seemed to be ok - but that may have just been a coincidence

I've seen this with a screen saver badly fitted too. I'd recommend totally removing it if you have one then see if that makes a difference. Weird how it's after an incoming call though.
