looping of the align screen

After some time I realized that my touch screen was a way out of wack.
When I tried to recalibrate my screen, apparently I ended up with a never ending loop align screen.
After I tapped five points to align the screen, it went back to the first point in the center to be aligned.

I googled about this problem, and I found some forums discussing the similar problem (even not for Omnia).
Almost all of them sugessting to clean up some dirts between the screen and the frame using a thin-stiff paper. But unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

Any solutions?

This drove me nuts too.  The solution is pretty simple - instead of tapping on each point, draw a tiny circle there.  This works without fail for me.

This is an annoying issue. I'm thinking about sending my phone in for repairs or using my insurance to get another one. I ended up getting so pissed that I just pressed on the alignment screen as hard as I could and it finally worked!

I could swear i was SOL when my initial calibration (after the official samsung update) was just repeating itself and wouldn't let me go any further. 

Reading this thread saved me;  i drew little circles around the target and after 3 cycles, IT WORKED!  (and still pretty accurate)

I know this thread is old but still i wanted to say thanks for this site and this post.

Now i can go back to hacking this thing!   

Have you tried this?
Align Screen Trap of Omnia

After Hard Reset of the Omnia, some users were unable to get pass the alignment screen and end up in a loop. It kept asking the users for the screen alignment.

Let's us give u a simple solution to work out of the screen alignment trap and work for most users. Press and hold the + sign and it will move to another location. Perform the same thing by pressing and hold the + sign and continue until screen alignment is complete. It is best to use a stylus to perform this job although your finger can also perform the same thing.

Another method is go to notepad and create a file called welcome.not and save it to the removable memory card. Put the removable memory card back to your Omnia and ON it. You will get past the screen alignment trap and Omnia will start up.

There is a bug in the calibration software and the only way to get around it is by modifying the registry editor. This only work if you are able to load the software is just performing screen alignment for better performance.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->HARDWARE->DEVICEMAP->TOUCH.
Change the key value for MaxCalError from 7 to a bigger value (for example 14). Do a soft reset and start a manual re-Align of the screen.

Outstanding! One of the most helpful tips I've ever read for resolving problems on my Omnia!

Thanks.

I'm glade to hear that it worked for both you. 

Hello all.

I see the fix but I cannot get the edit to stick.  I got CEregeditor 0.0.5.2 The latest release I could find  and ran the unlock tool and it SAYS it is unlocked but the edit will not take.  it says access denied. I tried this multiple times and always in Admin mode.  Any Ideas would be helpful....especially if the come before I see how far I can skip this phone across the lake.

Thnx.
