Coby Kyros MID7012 - Screen calibration alternative?

[Rivkah94]

I have a Coby Kyros MID7012, but the touchscreen seems a bit off and the factory calibration software doesn't seem to do the trick. So, here I am wondering: Does anybody know of some better touchscreen calibration software? There is more info of my tablet in my signature.

The instruction that is given for calibrating can be construed wrong (as I did while pulling my hair out).
When it says "up" it means lift OFF the screen.

Oh wow, they should really fix that. I thought maybe the calibration software was just faulty, not just with bad instructions. Thank ye

Many thanks I was about to throw my Coby out the door. What a difference.

Thanks for this clarification. I feel a bit stupid after sitting here touching the calibration icons and dragging upward. I was convinced that there was something seriously wrong, as none of the keys on the virtual keyboard did what they were supposed to. Perhaps a little more detail in the owner's manual about this feature would be a good idea for Coby.

If it had not been for your clarification I probably would have simply stuck it in the drawer with all my other tech mistakes. As it is I have had a great deal of fun with it. Thank you for your fix.

If you have not already done this, try using a stylus for calibration instead of your finger. It really helped refine mine after the frustration of taking the manual literally.
