I have problem on touch screen of my Nokia 5800. Some day work, some day no. So i think isn’t hw broken. I have open the phone and i have see that without the original cover (both, front and rear) the touch screen work better. But when i close the touch screen stop to work (i can touch only the first icon on top of screen. Do you now what i can do for solve this problem? I have think maybe the problem is for umidity or other similar problems ….

The calibration is more on software level.

If calibration doesn’t work, then the problem is likely caused by touchscreen (the hardware) itself (as noted at top of this post). For faulty hardware, nothing can be done except replace the faulty part physically (Nokia certified service center is best bet).

Hopes that help.

Hi Saurabh.
I’m having the same problem. Earlier I was having distorted display problem, so I updated my firmware to v51, but now this touchscreen problem is coming. If u find a solution, pls share.

my nokia 5800 is having a problem that when i touch or tap an item, it responds to an item on the right of it. Even touch screen calibration does not help, it gets corrected for few hours but then again return to the same problem. Further now the problem has become so persistent that it has now become virtually impossible even to calibrate the screen. when i approached service center they just upgraded the version but this didn’t permanently solve the problem and now they are demanding Rs 3000 for further treatment. Thanx in advance….
