Is anyone else having issues with screens calibration for texting? I am always misspelling words and its getting very annoying. i almost have to press below the letter i want to type in order to get it right. especially the space bar, it almost always the letter "b" instead. Is there a way of calibrating the touch screen? ive searched all the settings and found nothing.

I use Swiftkey and have not had any problems. Those stock letters were too small for my big hands.

If you think you are having problems with the touchscreen you can enable "Show Touches" in Developer Options.

You might not have Developer Options enabled, but if you go to Settings>About Phone and tap the Build Number a bunch of time it will be unlocked.

Then you can go to Settings>Developer Options>and put the checkbox on for "Show Touches". Then you can press on the screen and see where it thinks you are, could have a bad phone.

What Sydman said. I use Swiftkey as well and love it. The show touches is a good way to see where you are. I don't think there is any option for calibrate screen, but there should be. Another solution may be to visit your friendly neighborhood optometrist...make sure your eyes aren't lying to you. :wink:
