Help New to Galaxy/Android and a quick question

Hey, Just got my Galaxy S2 and it's my first android phone. Had it 3 weeks and have to admit, this is the first phone I've been excited about. Was using Palms prior to this. I do have one "small" issue.

When I purchased the phone, the sales person wasn't paying alot of attention to the process while she was starting the phone (on the phone with AT&T). When the phone started up, it looked like she just tapped the screen rather than paying attention during the screen calibration, and didn't let me do the calibration as I'm used to. Well, the touch screen seems a little off to me and I have lots of issues with typing now. I can't find anywhere in the settings to recalibrate the screen.

I've searched and seen postings where there is supposed to be a menu option under settings/language and keyboard/Input text... but the problem I have is that under settings/language and keyboard, there are only options to select the language and make keyboard settings. I can't find the options that are referenced.

Does anyone know if there is another way to recalibrate the screen?

Thanks!
 
i'm not aware of a way to calibrate the screen. There is no calibration option that the sales person skipped. If its off, just go back to the store and exchange it.
 
Well that suprises me. Every touch screen phone I've had had a calibration function in the settings. Even more so that as a internet search indicated that there was a menu function for it even if this one doesn't. May have to take it back. Seems sad to do so for something that is typically fixed in software.
 
Dial *#0*# from your Phone app (not sure if it works on ATT models), tap Touch, and from there scribble on the screen to test the accuracy. If it's off, I don't know that you can recalibrate it, but show this test screen to an employee and score a new phone
 
Go to settings. Go to display. Scroll down, the last two options are HORIZONTAL CALIBRATION and GYRO SENSOR CALIBRATION. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, those settings calibrate the accelerometer and gyroscope, whereas he's trying to calibrate the touchscreen
