Aligning stylus touch screen / keeps looping

Hello,
I am trying to align the touch screen on my Palm Tungesten E2, using the built in touchscreen configuration tool.
It tells me to tap exactly on the center of the target. I do that three times or more, and it keeps looping still telling me to tap exactly center of the target.
This is a problem because whenever I using the letter or number function , I get a period (.) symbol. The stylus is not aligning properly.
The only option to get out of the touchscreen configuration tool is by pressing the reset hole on the back of my device.
Can somebody out there help me? 
Regards,
Mike

Hello, if you get a period when you use the on-screen keyboard, it could be that you have turned on the full screen graffiti function.  This is what allows you to write on the full screen rather than just in the graffiti area.
There should be a small icon in the status bar on the bottom of your screen, which looks like a little squiggly line or a snake.  Tap it to toggle this function on and off, and see if it helps.

  • Touch screen keeps freezing

    All too often, the touch screen freezes on me. This usually happens after I try and make a gesture. Then the screen becomes completely unresponsive.
    The button at the bottom still works. I can either wait about a minute, and then the screen unfreezes, or I can push the power button at the top, put the phone in standby mode and then the screen is responsive as soon as I wake it up from the home button again.
    Please let me know any suggestions to resolve this. Thanks.

    "Apple: the new Microsoft?"
    That's harsh, but looks like it is true!
    I am having the exact same problem as everyone else here. Since upgrading to the iOS4.0.1 my phone has become incredibly slow and unresponsive. The touch screen will often lock/freeze not allowing you to answer calls. This would not be such a terrible thing if the "home" button could be configured as a back-up answer mode. I have missed several important phone calls as a result.
    The 3G and 3GS were great phones. Maybe a few glitches here and there but at least you could answer the phone when a call came in!
    Likewise, "Windows 97" was a great OS then Microsoft decided to make improvements and developed "Vista". Now Microsoft's towering kingdom is falling because they would never admit that they developed a flawed system. Now they have come out with Windows 7, but it's too late every one has given up and started moving to Mac.
    Apple, beware that your pride and arrogance doesn't take you to the same fate. You need to offer some sort of customer support where we can inform you of issues like these. We should not have to pay to talk to a tech when it is a flaw in your software that is causing the problems.

  • My ipod touch screen keeps turning white

    my ipod tuouch screen keeps turning white

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    If you can recover use of the iPod and it keeps ocuring try restoring to factory settings/new iPod.
    - If still not successful or it keeps recurring that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IOS5 on 3gs touch screen keeps freezing - cannot unlock phone

    I downloaded the new iOS5 to my 3GS phone.
    Now I cannot unlock it - it's like the touch screen does not exist at all.
    Sometimes it works - but nothing seems to unlock it.
    Then randomly, it will work again.
    Super frustrating!! Any suggestions???

  • Reinstalle​d Windows 7 home from Windows 8 now touch screen keeps droping (not working)

    Had to reload windows 7 home on my TM2 2151nr.  Touch screen worked but had to install updates to get the wireless to work. After updates installed touch screen and wireless worked. Got up this am and now the touch screen is no longer working.  Check and no other update had been installed had the update option turned off after both the wireless and touch had been working. 
    I have been trying to get the touchscreen to continue to work after having to install updates for the wireless updates.  Reloaded windows not 3 times, but each time the touchscreen function stops working.
    What next?

    Here are the factory specs for your HP TouchSmart tm2-2151nr Notebook Computer.According to the specs, this model shipped from the factory with Windows bit installed and a means to create your own set of "HP Recovery Discs". Provided you created these discs and used them to return the computer to a "factory like state", all drivers and software should be automatically installed.
    If, however, you are using a standard Windows 7 installation disc, you will need to load all drivers yourself. Most HP provides drivers for this model should be located on the HP TouchSmart tm2-2151nr Notebook PC Drivers page. If you are unable to locate some drivers please post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" for any missing or unknown devices as shown in the example below;
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod fom backup via iTunes

    You don't need to enable anything. For it to work you need a touch screen display and a pressure sensitive pen. Not a capacitive pen like those used on a iPad.

    My new ipod touch screen- how to I keep it on 24/7?
    I cannot remember or find the setting that keeps my new ipod touch screen on all the time...until I want to shut it off. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Thanks, I set it that way in the beginning (when I bought it.) to that. I just checked again, at your suggestion and it IS set up in that manner.
    Its weird, right now it has been on screen without shutting off for an hour. However, when I first turned it on I did the slide to open, entered my 4 digit code and before I knew it it had closed the screen (shutting off).

  • HT5642 my ipod touch 5th gen is not recognized since I tried to update ios. It says it is in recovery mode but it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I tried holging power button for 3 sec. then both home and power for 10 sec then home button for 20

    My ipod touch 5th generation went into recovery mode when I tried to update ios. When I try to recover it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I tried to hold the power button for 3 secs. then simultaneously hold the home button for 10 secs. then hold only power button for 20 secs. I tried this several times to no avail. This is my daughter's ipod. I am computer illiterate and I'm not sure what else to try.

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • My ipad is working very slow touch screen is not wokring perfectly and apps keep switching off when i play

    IPad Mini, 64GB, IOS 8.1.
    My IPad is working very slow.
    The touch screen is not working as good.
    Many problems when i play a game ( Real Racing 3) keeps on turning off when i play.
    Camera is also blurry.
    Screen sometimes goes blank.

    Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If those three things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    If all of that fails, restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad before you restore, then restore the backup when you are done. If that still doesn't help, restore your iPad as new and start all over again. Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store.

  • Frozen Ipod/ Ipod keeps rebooting at black apple logo screen (on loop)

    Frozen Ipod/ Ipod keeps rebooting at black apple logo screen (on loop)
    -I've already replaced my old 60 GB Ipod in exchange for an 80GB, I bring it home, sync it up with Itunes v7.02 and everything works fine for a while. Not even 24 hours later I go down into my artist/song directory to play a song, and it freezes again. I do the menu center key soft reboot a few times to bypass it and it works for awhile. I've tried looking for current updates for software on it, Restoring it, Resyncing and now It gets to the point everytime I unplug the ipod from charging I get back to the menu and try to play a song or video and it does nothing, it freezes everytime.
    There has to be an explanation as to why my first one did it and why my new 80GB is doing it.
    I've already ran a diagnosis on all the files in the ipod all of them come back clean.
    Help me out.
    If you know how to resolve this issue reply and/or email me
    [email protected]

    My ipod is having a similar problem. The black apple logo has been the only thing I see on my ipod. I went a step farther and held the select and play/pause button to get it into disk mode. Once I am here I cannot proceed. I do not have computer that I hook it up to and have transferred the desired songs from an ex-girlfriends computer which I do not have access. What can I do once I have it in disk mode if I do not have a computer available?
