is there a way to calibrate the screen? sometimes feel the click is not accurate.
no, these screens should not need calibration anyway. If you're talking about the click being off a little on the home screen I have that as well, but it seems to be limited to the Live Wallpapers. If its off by alot you should send it back for replacement.
when i click the dot, sometime the search box pop up. the dot is above the search botton
dot? what dot?

I think he means the dots at the bottom of the screen to move from one screen to another on the Home launcher. The dot(s) is/are right above the search button on the bottom right of the screen.
oh, yeah that does not sound normal. try restarting and if the issue persists you mgiht want to consider sending it in.
I've noticed sometimes random touch events happen, I'll touch something, and something else gets activated more than half the screen away.

are you sure you aren't touching another part of the screen?
Sometimes the palm of my hand touches the bottom left of the screen and that will cause random touch events.
You need to touch slightly above the dot. Otherwise your finger is very close to the google search soft key.

I know for fact that sometimes I DO touch other parts of the screen like with my palm, etc by accident. however there have been cases where this wasn't happening and I still have miss touch events.
Example. I was holding my phone with my fingers in landscape with my left hand, and using only the pointer finger of my right hand to touch something in the middle top of the screen, at which point the phone pulse vibrated and the quick search screen popped up.
I posted to the google link outlining the different events that I have noticed. Multitouch would fix point averaging between somewhere you're accidentally touching and where you intended to touch. This however isn't the only thing going on, as I do believe there is some random strangeness occurring. I never had any such issues with my G1.

it happens to me,too, i thought it is caused by my palm touched the edge of the screen when i clicked using finger, but it is not. when i restart the phone, it,s gone.

yes. that's the dot.
I read from another reviewer, he said the sensor of the soft key is located a little above the icon for the key. this may cause the problem.

This messes up pretty much everyone I hand my phone to look at/play with. Its fine if you're aware, but it does show a sign of less refinement in a device that would have been nearly 100% free of hardware design flaws.
I feel the same way, especially with the soft-buttons and the "p" key in portrait mode. Last night after walking a bit outside my key-presses were atleast an inch off.....I attributed that to my fingers being a little staticky.
Othertimes my fingers just never work on the screen for a few seconds, rubbing my fingers together fixes this problem.
Something to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing I guess
I find that sometimes my fingers wrap around the phone and just touch the front edge of the screen while holding it, causing random key presses. I guess I'm still used to holding the wider and less sensitive Touch HD.
try to download "multi touch paint" from the market.
draw a line across near the bottom of the screen. you'll find it always below where u touch, compare to a line draw across the top of the screen.

Yup seems to be your the only odd-ball, just kidding i couldnt draw the thing either haha.
I get exactly the same behaviour when I draw a line right over the touch-buttons and when I do the same at the very top edge of the screen, can't see anything that looks misaligned.
I have that issue,too.
That happen most likely when I turn my phone side way and try to access the bottom icon on the home screen. The touch screen has 30% chance to be out of alignment.
the line i draw just slightly below where i touch, that is around 2mm, sleep/reboot won't fix it.
As per subject, the top right of the screen (in landscape mode) occasionally triggers itself (and so is the bottom right when in portrait) I've cleaned it. Could this be a cable issue or could gunk between the bezel and the screen cause it? I have another one lying around with a cracked screen so switching the cable is do-able but it's not a task i want to undergo on a whim. Anyone any clues?
Edit: By "Trigger" i mean for example that the clock preferences show up or the battery status as if you'd pressed the icon. Sometimes the whole thing locks up but I expect that's due to it thinking that there is a spot being pressed somewhere and is blocking my other input attempts.
Discover any tips and/or tricks?
You can swipe left anywhere on the lock screen for camera, doesn't have to be on the icon.
Same goes for swiping right for phone.
If you hold down on the carrier connection tile, it'll display usage.

anyone any ideas or know any app that will turn off screen when case is closed......(non Samsung case)
I think some apps like KinScreen can lock the phone based on light sensor (the front camera) once a certain level of darkness is reached it locks the phone, so it might work with third party case.
Nooo there's a small magnet in my case it's in bottom left corner when it's open
Or ues a magnet on the bottom right hand corner of the screen
Don't swipe life it up and down and the screen will go on and off ?
