Can a tight cover for your phone ruin your screen? Mine is somewhat tight around my N97, especially from top (where power button is at) and bottom, not so tight on the top of the screen.
The issue I have is that last night the phone worked perfectly fine, but today my screen started to bug on me. First, sometimes pressing 7 on the screen showed me a 4. Then I realized there is misallignment. I went into DRAWING and started making random dots. Well, guess what? When I try to make a dot in some places - I get a random line across the screen instead of a single dot! Then the screen went dead completely (nothing worked).
I did a hard reset and that helped little.... BUT I turned the phone off, started massaging the screen for 10 minutes and then turned it back on. Its MUCH better now and the lines still form but they are way shorter.
What is going on? Did my tight cover screw up my screen? Is it just a temporary thing? I figured massaging helped so...
Or its the thin plastic cover on the screen (comes with the phone)?
Also, could someone go into DRAW and try to draw all the way on the right side. I have a 3mm strip of space along the right side of the screen that will not allow me to draw on. Its like dead space, except the scroll bar goes in that space, and the that bar DOES work...so I am not sure!
my screen must be off as well on the right i can draw right to the edge all the way from bottom to top but on the left i can get it running from the edge at the top to about 2mm at the bottom hope this makes sense.
I wonder if this is another design issue or whether I'm just unlucky or is it intentional?
You'd think for $700 you'd get a screen that is not misalligned...
Have you tried the touchscreen calibration? Might help...might not😉

I didn't even know there was one... I need to explore this phone a lot more. Its my first Symbian, first Nokia, first smartphone...lol. I only had PDA experience with Windows Mobile.
Yep, just go to "Settings" then "Phone" then "Touch Input" and at the bottom there should be "Touch Screen Calibration".
