Touchscreen sensitivity

Does it seem to anyone else that the screen on this phone doesn't always register input as consistently or quickly as it should?
Is this a software or hardware issue?

I'm wondering the same thing. For instance the keyboard seems to have trouble with registering a keypress on the same key that just worked fine the press before. Granted I just got the phone yesterday and I'm in my learning curve, and it's still stock. Lovin my ns4g with no bloat either way ;-)

I just posted about this. Didn't seem as bad until I rooted the phone, but that was within about three hours of getting it. It's annoying as hell, right? My thread is in the General Forum. ugh.

The screen is definitely not as sensitive as HTC screens. And I agree, it's annoying.

My screen was to sensitive before update but saying HTC has more sensitivity touch screens I beg to differ

Mine is so sensitive that I don't even have to touch the screen, it will register a touch if I hover just above it.

what update is this you're referring to?
mine also does the hover thing. I'm getting very annoyed with this...

I know the feeling, mine seems to be solely limited to the pre-call dialer. On the dialer it works like a 15 year old palm pilot. Everything else is hyper sensitive. It works fine when in a call.

Is there a setting to change the touchscreen sensitivity on the Nexus S?

I have noticed when the screen is hot it doesn't register keys pressed, I always end up hitting the "." Its quite annoying but j do however love the phone

Is there somewhere on the phone to set the sensitivity?

Mine falls into the "So sensative that it registers a touch when I hover my finger over it".

I apologize if I'm a little cranky but no one seems to see my question. Is there ANY SETTING available for the sensitivity of the touchscreen?

No setting that i know of. I believe some kernels adjust sensitivity but its one setting built in not adjustable. I am running netatchy kernel and responsiveness is amazing.

Yep that is true, sometimes it depends of the ROM or Kernel you have.

Hello, fellow Nexus S owners. I am resurrecting the thread because I found myself in a similar situation.
But first some history and details - I own a I9023 handset and have been using stock ROM since it came out (JZO54K). Couple of days ago I noticed that the lower part of the screen (the line right above the hardware buttons) is less responsive and sometimes even unresponsive. This makes it really annoying when trying to call somebody and nothing happens when I try to launch the dialer. The same behavior is observed throughout the whole row this includes even applications button. When texting the same things happens.
At first I thought that this could be due to me installing a "Temple Run" kind of game, but I wiped it, rebooted and the problem remains.
What do you think? Could this be a hardware problem or software one?

Your digitizer might be dying.
It's also known that while charging the phone with the wrong charger the screen goes crazy, but then, unplugging the phone will usually solve the issue.

Luckily the device is still under warranty so I will take it to my vendor for repair. Maybe then I will have some info on what's happening.

I had a similar problem a while back when my battery started to die. I've never experienced any touch screen wackiness caused by third-party chargers, but this seemed to be a comparable issue albeit in the opposite direction. So in addition to my battery losing charge real quick touches wouldn't register in the bottom half of the screen.

Touch screen issues

Can't make 3-d carousel anymore. Did a factory reset. Is this a known issue? Also when I grab the notification bar and pull it up and down real fast it let's it go even though I'm still holding on to it. Things that don't matter that much but kind of pissme off.

Did you leave the stock screen protector on?

Keyboards on cyanogen

I'm loving CM7 so far and the only thing I've noticed is that the the touchscreen is a little off. I have tried 3 keyboards and my accuracy is way off compared to a froyo rom. Buttons on the bottom like space sometimes don't register in portrait orientation. Anyone else notice this?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

Same happens to me. I noticed it because it makes me so mad. Sometimes I miss the key. I don't remember the stock keyboard but I feel like the one on cm7 doesn't reach all the way down to the bottom

[Q]Touchscreen sometimes stops working

I have a T-Mobile myTouch 4g Slide and The touchscreen sometimes doesn't work, I've noticed it happens more often when my battery is low and that it'll be working fine but when I use the phyical keyboard it won't work after that until I charge it up and restart it many times. There is a crack on the front so would replacing the digitalizer fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

I wouldn't think replacing the digitizer would help being it stops working intermittently otherwise it wouldn't work all the time. If it only does it when the battery is low then check your settings to see what is turned off if you have a battery saver mode. Easiest thing to do in my opinion is wipe the phone. That usually fixes this (I have even seen it fix physical buttons not working as well)

I have the same problem here. I usually have to turn the screen off to get it working again.

My entire screen never stops working, but sometimes when I'm touch typing, certain keys will refuse to register.
I don't know if that's a problem with my screen, or a problem with the keyboard app I use (Swiftkey X)

Keyboard?
Wanting to buy a MTG4 slide for my wife. Does the phone have an on screen virtual keyboard along with the actual slide keyboard?:

Yes, and there are many on the market if she prefers others then the HTC "Touch Input" and Swype that come pre-installed on the phone.

Unlock transition bug?

I've noticed a very subtle but strange behavior on KitKat generally. When I unlock my device, there is usually a smooth window animation that leads you into the home screen. However, if you access the camera by swiping right on the lock screen, the next time when you unlock the device, the animation seemed to be gone and just enter the home screen really quick. I set the window animation scale to 10x in developer option just to see if I was right and I found out that indeed when you enter the camera from lock screen, the animation is gone. It does come back after a reboot though. I am wondering if this happens to everyone or just me.

It is very subtle but somehow I just feel there is something acting differently.
Haven't seen anyone mentioned it yet so i thought I was the only one...

Bug confirmed, I had the same thing but not sure what's causing it.

Like others have said, this is a confirmed bug. An easy workaround though is to swipe left on the lock screen as if you're going to access the camera then quickly swiping right before it goes into the camera app. In other words, swipe left then right.
If it doesn't work for you after you try it, let me know and I'll try to be more specific.
