Calibrating screen on PMID1000b

[simkelxo]

Help! I re-flashed the stock ROM from southern telecom's website because my tablet was running sluggishly and I thought that might help. However, once I re-booted my tablet, the screen does not respond correctly to my touches. It's extremely inaccurate.

ETA: Just discovered that touch is accurate when the screen is in portrait mode. If I switch to landscape, I have the problem mentioned above.

Yikes, not another one of these-I'd ask dolorespark-I know that there were some issues resolved with the PMID4311/Emerson touchscreen and dolorespark might be a good resource to help you.

Thanks. I even downloaded an apk from xda called touchrecalibrate, and that didn't help.

@simkelxo: In Settings->Developer Options, enable "Show touches" then go to a blank desktop (if you have one). Touch each corner of the screen, touch the center, etc. The goal is to identify the specific issue: is the spot that gets displayed consistently off by a particular distance, are the X and Y coordinates switched, or are X and/or Y flipped (i.e. touching the top right puts the dot at the top left).

There are settings that control whether the X and Y values are exchanged or flipped but they aren't user-accessible. If you can nail down the problem, I may be able to fix this (though if the touch is always off by X millimeters, I probably won't be able to help).

I fixed it. I noticed that included in the folder of files for the stock ROM is another ROM image. I flashed that one and it works perfectly now. Thanks guys.

Also, if you guys know of any custom ROMs for this tablet, could you point me in their direction? Or do you know of any that are in the works? I really hate the stock ROM on this tablet.

I realize this thread was started three years ago, but I'm hoping someone can give me some direction.
I had to format my aunt's polaroid tablet as well, and now the touch screen is off by a significant amount.
I am curious how Simkelxo got the other IMG in the Livesuit program to boot on the tablet to fix the touch screen problem. I have tried multiple times, following the directions on the SouthernTelecom page, but the formatting process doesn't start automatically like the directions say it should.
I'm hoping someone can give me an idea of how to get the device to take the format.
Thanks!
