Just got the phone - unusable? (solved)

[Ashcrapper]

Hi,

Just got an X1 through Vodafone and tried using it for the last half hour and its virtually unusable, it doesnt seem to respond to the stylus at all, some things are really responsive to press with my finger, others its like i need to break the screen.

I couldnt complete the initial setup due to it not responding to virtually anything I did, the calibration seemed to go ok although i had to press the screen pretty hard to get a response.

Could I have set this up wrong or is my phone in someway damaged perhaps?

Bit gutted at the moment, been patiently waiting for this phone for so long and at the moment its garbage

Many thanks for any advice, its appreciated.

Cheers,
Ash

As already posted somewhere else: It is very important how you set up your touchsreen. It calibrates to you. So if you plan to use a screen protector, put it on the screen before you start. If you plan to use the stylus, initiate the screen with the stylus. The sensitivity is also calibratet depending on how hard you tap the screen.

In order to make the most of it, go back to the settings -> screen -> align and do it with feeling

did you setup the screen alignment using your fingers instead of the stylus? if so,try setting it up using the stylus

but if not i would return it

aha! did the screen again and things are certainly looking up!

one other quick question, got the phone plugged in and am going to leave it overnight but it doesnt appear to show a charging icon on the battery indicator like the k850i does for instance. is this right?

If it's like my Htc Diamond, wm6.1, it depends on how many icons are listed along the top of the screen. For example, wi-fi, blue tooth, synchronizing, signal strength, volume etc........ just ran out of room for battery

If you go to the WM main panel a very simplified one should sit in the upper right corner like that:

The detailed status is here: Settings -> System -> Power

The battery icon shows when you are charging the phone, but as the battery is full, it only shows the usual icon (but it's fully loaded).

that makes sense, thanks again. Still struggling a little with it but going to give it a week and see if I warm to it
