How can I redo the stylus settings all over again

Colleagues,
Since I put in a screen protector it seems like the stylus has lost sensitivity and I can barely use it. Is there any way to redo the stylus settings just like when the phone is turned on for the first time?
Thanks in advance.

Settings>System>Screen> Align Screen
I dont think that will help you though. It sound like you need to bump up the screen sensitivity. Advanced config or Diamond Tweek would help you with that.

behrouz,
The Settings>System>Screen> Align Screen worked!!! Thank you, it's been a couple of frustrating days without using the stylus.

What is the fix for poor touch screen response on the Triumph?

Hello,
I am convinced that something is wrong with the Triumph. I searched for "keyboard" and "response" in the thread titles but got nothing.
Basically, the screen doesn't register my touches consistently. Is this something that is fixable by a software update, or is it faulty hardware? It's almost like I type too fast for the Triumph. But when touching a link, it often doesn't register, either, and it's not localized to any particular area of the screen. Slowing down my typing seems to help, but this is making the phone in my opinion, unusable. I have no reason to believe that I got a faulty unit.
What is the fix for this problem, and sorry if I missed the answers somewhere in the forums.

Have you removed the secondary screen protector?

No, I have not, but I have thought about it. I've heard conflicting reports about whether that helps or not. In the past, I have not noted these screen protectors to be causing the problem. Can anyone speak with authority about whether removing the screen protector solves the response issues? It's a one-way procedure, because there's no way that I'll be able to get that screen protector applied as perfectly as it was at the factory.
Thanks

I can't speak with authority, but I can speak based on personal experience. It made a HUGE difference for me. And no, I haven't had any scratches on the screen nor have I had any problems since I removed it.

I can't say but I have notices that when my available RAM falls below 50 mb that the touch becomes less responsive, that and cold fingers.

The touch screen does lag, regardless of the screen protector. Its most apparent to me when opening the app drawer; it's hard to get the screen to roll. I think it's a combination of literally cold fingers as well as a sort of metaphorical coldness of the device itself; it seems that the lag effect diminishes as the device settles into its groove after prolonged use. I notice the lag when the ROM is 'fresh.'
I am on my 2nd T and they both exhibit the quirk. LPP and the new ADW seem to help her work it out. Perplexing little devices on an intentionally-attenuated redheaded step-network, fer sure, but virtually unbrickable, and oh my black jesus do i ever love me my $25/month, contract-free ultimateness.

I've spent a lot of time trying to resolve this issue in the TG-Reloaded CM7 ROM. Updating & rewriting the bi041p touchscreen driver in the kernel. I'm finally ready to just say it's a hardware problem, maybe a grounding issue. The interrupt sometimes just doesn't trigger reliably.

Well they're are two things you can do it increase the touch screen sensitivity,the first way would be to flash ROM or a kernel that has reworked drivers that are supposed to help touchscreen sensitivity a little.The next thing you could do that I think would greatly improve touchscreen sensitivity would be to take of the factory installed screen protector as it is very thick and low quality.

[Q] Input Sensitivity Adjustment?

Is there any way to raise the touch input sensitivity? My A700 seems to miss quick taps, requiring at least half a second worth of tap to reliably register the input. Can this be changed?

Yes. Look in settings.

Hi there. The A510 has a bug that causes the touchscreen to not initialize correctly during boot. This can be temporarily solved by changing the setting for the screen sensitivity in the settings menu. This seems to reinitializes the screen which then works ok until the next reboot. Perhaps the same bug is also present for the A700?
You could give it a try.

This issue was one of the reasons why I brought the a510 back for a refund.
Easy to fix, and adjusting the input made things a little better permanently, but it was not as responsive as it should be without fiddling at each bootup.
Wife hated having to do it too, so back it went.
The a700 is/was on my short list, so if this is a common problem on the a700 now too then my choice of HD Android tablet got 'infinitely' easier...

I'm not having any issues with touch on my A700.

No probs here eithet

Ya, big issue. Even at the highest sensitivity it is simply not good enough.

Same problem, same concern

I too had a significant touch screen sensitivity issue with the A510 and returned it for that reason. It was greatly exacerbated by the Skinomi screen protector I used, and improved when I removed that. However even with the screen protector off, the A510's screen was virtually unresponsive when lying flat on a desk or propped up in a stand, both of which modes I use not infrequently. The A510 seemed to need my fingers on the back to function properly; some (on XDA and other forums) refer to this as a "grounding" problem.
I purchased the A700 hoping that, with a different screen, this problem might be resolved. The good news for me is that my A700 has shown NO issues at all with the touch screen. I have a Roo Case matte screen protector on, (which really helps with glare and fingerprints) and the screen has responded to my every touch, whether in my hands, on a desk or on a stand.
Even though I have lost some battery life and responsiveness compared to the A510 due to the higher resolution, I am more than pleased with the A700 because of the lack (for me) of touch screen issues.
I should note that the Mobile Tech Review review of the A700 (the best review resource for tablets IMHO) finds the opposite of my experience; they found their A700 to be somewhat LESS responsive than their A510. Go figure.

Which firmware are you using? I've updated my firmware to the 1.028.00 version found in the development forum and I must say that the input sensitivity is improved with that version .... a bit. (Was running a 1.026.00 version). So it definitely seems to depend on the firmware version one is running.

A510/A700 Senstivity Test

Hi guys.
Before buying my A510, I used to have a SGT 10.1. I sold off my SGT 10.1 2 weeks before getting my A510, so I was never able to do side-by-side comparison between the two.
However, judging by the response in the forums at that time and by my personal usage, it was clear that the Acer tablet had some serious sensitivity issues. I couldn't confirm how bad, but it was bad enough to be noticeable by me based against my SGT 10.1.
To me, the worst thing is when putting the tablet on a hard flat surface, like a table. This is where the sensitivity, for some weird r!eason, takes a very BAD hit. I just got a Note 10.1 yesteray, and used both side by side. The Note could flawlessly take input when laid flat on a table. But not the A510.
Any idea why? Do try if your tab takes a hit when placed on a flat surface and let me know.
Thanks

I had an A510 that I returned for just that reason; sensitivity not only took a hit, it became almost useless when laid on a table. Problem was compounded by a screen protector. A700 seems much better. However the most recent update (1.029 -> 1.057) actually made things worse as far as the touch screen. For a while I flashed back to 1.029. Then I decided to update to 1.057 and root, and now I am using Acer Liquid Settings program which requires root & seems to help sensitivity. I am typing this flat on a table with only 1 or 2 missed touches for this reply, all in the 1st sentence.
Edit: There is a YouTube video that illustrates this problem in the A510 Search A510 problem on YouTube.

Indeed, I have EXACTLY the same problem as that in the video. The actionbar is TOTALLY unusable on a table. When I lift and use it in my hands, things are much better but still very much worse compared to other tablets.
Now, the thing is, from what I read, an update from Acer caused this issue. Can anybody vouch for that?
I got my tablet in mid-June, and by then it was running on the latest version. I've not gotten any new updates to fix this issue. Assuming it is a software problem, why hasn't Acer issued a hotfix? Also, this must mean ALL A510s are affected right?

screen protector?
ok, may sound a bit weird, but i experienced exactly the same "issue" on my a700. if i use the tab in bed or in the stand i got no touchscreen response. but this inresponsiveness has startet sometimes after mounting a screen protector at the tab. it just takes a while, until i recognised this behavior. travelling around the last weeks and was trying to navigate through the music library at the hotel brought the problem up first time.
since i removed the protector foil, the touchscreen response is back in all situations.
regards

There have been past threads on different devices that point to a grounding issue when this occurs. Your body is a conductor when holding the tablet so it works better. If the device is grounded properly then there isn't an issue either way. If your saying this was the result of an update then that's better then a hardware issue since it can be fixed much easier, once the company is made aware of the issue of course.

Don't hold your breath...

Yes a software issue can be fixed more easily...
IF the company decides to acknowledge the problem, act on the information and then go to the (likely considerable) expense of creating and releasing an update to address the problem. There have been many reports of this touch screen issue in the A51x & A7xx Iconias throughout the Internet especially, but not exclusively, if one is using a screen protector. Amazingly Acer claimed to address this in most recent OTA update for A700 (1.057), which was stated to address touch screen issues; it only made them worse on my A700. Go figure.

So I have the A700 and do not find any difference in touch sensitivity between the tablet laying down on a table and it being in my hands. Are you guys finding a big difference between the two?
Unfortunately it doesn't mean its perfect as I do struggle with touch sensitivity with the edges of the screen sometimes, which can be annoying as a lot off apps/browsers tend to put buttons in the corners.

Quick fix is to toggle the screen sensitivity everytime you boot up. (Change to medium then back high again, you do this every boot.)
A more permanent solution (applicable to the A510 only), is to flash NoThrills' optimized A510 rom along with the included NoThrills Kernel. This has solved my screen sensitivity issues.

Oh my God, you're so damn right! One of the first things I did when I got my tablet was putting the sensitivity to high, and I have never changed it since. Now that you mention, I put it to medium, then immediately high. Using the tablet on a flat surface is possible...my taps get registered flawlessly.
So, this means it is not something wrong with the display panel itself, but a software issue. Here's to hoping that Acer will fix it. Really weird man.
PS: Is there a code that I could tweak in the buil_prop maybe? I don't want to be flashing ROMs at the moment.

I was also wondering whether screen sensitivity could be addressed in build.prop. Anyone know?

I currently do not know of any build.prop or init.d solution. (So I guess it's more complex than I thought it would be.)
As mentioned though, I don't have the sensitivity issues anymore since using NoThrill's Optimized A510 WW ROM (The kernel was the one that fixed it I think, since I flashed Acer's stock kernel and I got my sensitivity issues back.)
So you might wanna consider flashing a new rom, or, flashing a new kernel at least.

Increase touch screen sensitivity?

Is there a way to make the touch screen more sensitive? As it is right now, I pretty frequently get touch inputs when I am actually just scrolling on the screen. I don't take my finger off (since I'm scrolling) but it thinks that I did as if I touched it. All the threads I could find talk about changing the spen sensitivity which I don't have any issues with. It's only hand touch input that I want to increase.
For comparison, with any apple device, nexus 4, or nexus 7 never get false touch input when scrolling. They never think I touched the screen when I am in the middle of scrolling.

Id recommend this one.

The sgs touchscreen booster works great for my note 10.1 8013 and my other samsung devices.
And that one doesn't work for you too good you can try this one this one works pretty good also.

Enable "show touches" in settings. It will help you see if it's a sensitivity issue or if you experience phantom touches.
