doesn’t really do anything. all calibrations should be done on a per phone basis.
that code F**** my omnia !!!! cant touch the screen at all thanks!@
@pcomnia, may I know which Omnia version you’re using so we can look into the issue. Sorry about the inconvenience.
Works like a charm. What this does is this: You all remember the 5 crosses asked when you first start your phone, right? Well, let’s assume those 5 crosses have each some precise coordinates in X and Y. Now, by pressing with your fingers or even with your stylus, you might not hit those exact “coordonates”. All this does is making the phone think you the hit the 5 crosses right in the middle, and that pretty much increases senzitivity. As I said, works great.
It is such a dissapointment this Omnia. Everything was all right, until the screen alignment got screwed up.
It is supposed that for 800 uss dollars it shouldn’t happend. Honestly, I am trying to repair it and sell it asap. I will go for a more stable phone like Iphone or Blackberry.
Hi, I tried the code and my Omnia touch screen sensitivity is a lot improved. thanks for this tip.
Hi i am from Malaysia.I don’t know what the hell is wrong with my omnia.
Why cant i use my finger to touch the screen.
I need to use my finger nail to tab anything in the screen.Is it normal?Cause i spend RM2900 for this damn phone,which is quite expensive here.How can i fix that problem.I tried your software but it never work.Pls help me.My friends i phone are making me jealous.
@Naven, try going to Settings then System tab and finally under the “general tab” choose “Align Screen”. But it does sound like you are having trouble even using the touchscreen. If the above instruction doesn’t work, you may have to hard-reset your Omnia. Do let us know if you’re resort to doing that.
I have the same problem with the touch screen after i cracked the lcd screen underneath and had it replaced.Ive just ordered a new touch screen off ebay as I think i may have “creased” the touch screen even though there is no visible damage.As they sell replacement touch screens on ebay I assume that this is a common problem.Will let you know if it fixes the problem.
@MRWANGKAI
Can you point me to the seller you ordered the touch screen from? And how much did it cost?
Thanks.
how can i undo it.
@anne, to undo, just go to the Remove Program setting and uninstall the Improve Omnia Touchscreen.
Hi there! Need help with my new Omnia 2!!
Apparently the screen doesn’t rotate to landscape when i turn it around. This problem applies to Messaging and all others. But it works well for photos.
Please help!

Replace Omnia with iphone?
Are you retard? Well, that
was a rhetorical question.
Omnia simply RULEZ, but I
understand that it has too
much power for some people
to handle…
As always, my friends at XDA developers (a free forum, but you need to register to download stuff) have the answer to this FRUSTRATING problem. I can’t believe Samsung would make something that has such an elementary problem!
Anyway, here’s the link:

It involves downloading a program called “Remote Screen Alignment”…yeah, I was doubtful at firs, too…but man, it worked like magic! I had done a hard reset on my phone, and then couldn’t get past the alignment screen. So, according to the instructions on the site, I connected my phone to the PC…ActiveSync started up (I thought it wouldn’t, but it did)…I had already installed the Remote Screen Alignment program on my PC, so I opened it up…it recognized my phone, and gave me a few options for alignment…I selected “Skip Alignment”…it asked me if I was sure, I said yes…and then my phone automatically rebooted and sailed past the alignment screen!
Hope it works for everyone!
