I haven't had a chance to try the brake yet.
The battery strength should not affect button calibration. Has the controller been dropped or banged recently? You can try the reset button, but Tim doesn't recommend that, except as a last resort. Having said that, I have reset mine many times without any noticeable damage. If you do reset it, the battery calibration will be off until you do a full recharge.
If you email Tim, I'm sure he will have some suggestions.

I have found that using the tip of my fingernail is always more accurate than using the pad of my fingers. I'm not sure what part of your fingers you are using, but try using a part that puts more pressure on the screen. Bill uses the ends of uncoupling sticks and it works great.
The brake is something I am still playing with. The red number is the brake percentage, from 0-100%. If you hold the button down it will build up to 100% or maximum braking. Depending on how you have your locomotive set up with start/max speed and accel/decel settings the locomotive may come to a stop before the brake sound plays. It typically will play right before the locomotive has come completely to a stop. If your decel settings are turned up (mine are) the locomotive may take a while to come to a stop even at 100% brake. If there is no load the locomotive will stop very quickly, almost immediately.

Thanks for that info Kevin. That will be helpful when I finally get to try the brake. ::)
Antoine L.:
Releasing the brake will bring the loco speed back to its knob setting right? So when breaking, once it reaches 100%, one should turn knob down completely?
Thanks for the info

For those that have not seen it (it may be very recent as I don't recall seeing it there last night) RE has a manual on the DCC mode on their website. Good reading on the capabilities. Very cool that the new features work in DCC as well. In fact it seems that the only thing that is not supported in DCC mode is radio consisting and load sharing; which may be one and the same thing.
