I'm having trouble with the touchscreen on my G700... Sometimes it freezes and decides not to respond at all and other times the screen doesnt respond properly to where the stylus touches the screen..... I've already installed the latest firmware but it dosent seem to fix it....
Does anyone have any ideas???? |

or you can use your warranty instead.

If it is software issue, you can master reset or update the phone with SEUS.

couldnt find the touchscreen calibration option... just gave me basic help but not really much use.... i used the service tests as well but they dont give you any setup options.... |

No the service tests... You just go to control panel and look for setup wizard options there... (I think it was in the last submenu of control panel)...
During that setup wizard you should come to a step named "screen calibration" or whatever where you need to tap 4 dots on the display... That is the 6th or 7th step of the wizard... If your screen is calibrated this can fix it.. if not it may be more serious hardware damage.

It is in the setup wizard as these forumers had said!! Run it and continue click next till you reached the last part!~ You will evetually come to the screen calibration! |

Try what's said above. It may not be on the 6th or 7th step.. It may be at the end of the setup wizard.. And should be there anyway.  shouldn't remove that feature from a touchscreen phone...
