Yeap! I tried making it less sensitive but that didn't help either.

I have something similar happen when texting, but that's about it...but I chalk it up as I'm not using a stylus...
Maybe it's time to get some insurance...

Can you be more specific on how the calibration won't work? @ what point did it fail to recognize input?? The reason why I ask is because this happened to me once, when I click anywhere near the bottom left corner i'd get no response, my problem was when i got to the X mark on the bottom left corner of the calibration screen, it just would'nt read my input. So what I did was open up the LCDUI(keyboard) and typed a few letters, but when I hit the letters I take a close look at where the phone is actually recognizing the input. I then opened up the calibration again and this time I don't click on the X marks I click beside the marks opisite side of; where your phone is actually recognizing it. After I did this I went into calibration again and this time I hit all the X's and everything went back to normal.

Don't no if this would work for you guys but it worked great for me and I also think its worth a try, hopes this helps

The middle X wont calibrate for me, I have to click slightly below it for it to allow me to move to the next X, its frustrating cause I have to continue to touch slightly below any icon on the phone to get it to activate.

I have somewhat of a strange fix.. each time I calibrate (with stylus of course)

you have to carefully click on left or right top or down, etc.. however far it is off to get to next + mark to get through all the marks, after you do this P/O (power on power off)..... each time you do this repeatedly it seems i can click closer and closer to dead middle. Example My top left is the most off inaccurate whatever, I click on all the way left of mark then go through the other marks and can go dead middle on all the rest, then P/O. Go back do it again this time i can move just a small small, small, amount more to middle do the rest etc, P/O eventually getting back to middle on all of them after many repeats and repeats you can get it almost perfect again

sorry this is very hard to explain in words for me!

with repeat after repeat... I have gotten significantly better, but to my dissappointment I believe It's not gonna fully go back to 100% like before

Have you tried to touch above the middle X Huh?

Thats what I did to get mines working, for example I'll use MIC's problem; For you I'd try to touch above the middle X for the 1st recalibration run, then I would press all the rest and restart recali again this time you should be able to hit bullseye on the middle X.

I'm not sure if it'll work for you but it definitely worked wonders for me, if this doesn't get you on bullseye, maybe brizzyx's way would work for you.

Hope this helps you guys

I have the same problem. I do not want to have my instinct replaced because I have a nice screen protector.

You know...I just want a phone that works. That actually works and doesnt lock up or delay. The instinct has not gotten better with the updates it has gotten worse. It was good for time but this last one must have done something...on top of that I can't tether anymore
