[A700] Touch issue - Acer Iconia A700 and A510

HI, I have experiences issues with touch keyboard and other.
I need same time press few times touch screen to make any reaction from tablet it is common or just something wrong with my?

I don't know if I got your question right, but I try to help.
The touchscreen is sometimes a little lazy, try to go to "Settings->Display->Touch " (dont know the exact Name, but there is only one Item for the screen). Then set it from "normal" to "high" and try again.
Maybe it'll help you! I had to put it to "high" on my A701, the overall response is now very good, can't complain.

Screen turns off during call?

Anyone else find this irritating? Each time I'm during a call, the screen goes blank. If I need to use the keypad or switch to speakerphone during a call, i first need to press the home key which turns on the screen, and then use any of the on-screen buttons. Even once the on-screen has been activated, and say I'm using the keypad, after few seconds the screen goes blank again, and I need to do it all over again...
Any way to get around this?
Yea its freaking annoying but i don't know of any solution for this. In the Raphel Tweaks thread many different things have been tried and failed so maybe something will come up soon enough
You can try tweak from Diamond forum - afair there was thread regarding this issue and some fix was provided.

yea i did try it. but it didnt work on the touch pro..
I'd be very interested in a solution for this too. Pretty annoying.
I would just like to bring this thread back to the surface, to see if anyone has had any luck with fixing this yet. Very Annoying bug...
NoSleep!!!.cab worked for me, searchsearchsearch... I think Shinobi made it, sorry if I'm wrong on that.

align screen starts over and over again

today i flashed a new rom
as u all know the "align screen" setup is the first that starts within the initial setup
but it wont complete, it just starts over and over again
i remember that i had the same problem during the last rom i used but i just killed the process and forgot about it, but now i cant kill it bcs its newly flashed
did any of u had the same problem before?
ok solved , after getting a bit angry and googling for 30 min i hammered a bit harder with my finger
dont ask me why but this helped at the first try
maybe some of u could explain why that is and/or how to get it better solved
This is supposed to be a CALIBRATION screen. It expects you to be as precise as possible. Using your finger instead of a stylus is usually not precise enough, and being detected as such, hence the calibration restart. All you really had to do is use the stylus, not your finger. Pressing harder with your finger makes it easier on this type of the screen to detect it's location, hence results in a little bit better precision. Thats the reason it allowed you to pass that screen after all.
sry for the late answer
im using the stylus ofc, but this aint help any much
only when i use my finger and press a bit harder im able to "calibrate"
installed some roms since my first post and the problem stays
Hello friends, I am Brazil, sorry for my english ...
I'm having the same problem to calibrate the screen on my HTC TOUCH CRUISE (P_3650), researched several posts, but could not solve the problem, I installed other ROMS, but also not resolved the problem, returned to ROM 6.0 ORIGINAL factory, but after a while the screen loses calibration is not working anymore ...
I ask to help me solve this problem ...
Thanks

Screen Calibration is Off

Hello all,
Awhile back the touchscreen on my Sprint TP2 (RHOD400) was off. I click in one spot, it clicks an inch high. Sometimes more, sometimes less..I tried calibrating, but I couldn't even click the center target once. The problem stopped for awhile, then started up again last week. This time the problem is worse. I press in one area, it presses one to two inches away. I have the phone in landscape mode and try to press the upper right hand corner 'x' and it brings up the notification window. Sometimes the lower right part of my screen is completely inaccessible, and I cannot send a text for quite awhile. Other times it is fine, but not fine to the point where I can get super accurate clicks. I was running Mr.X rom, and flashed to Mighty, but this did not solve the problem. I have also cleared storage. I used to run haret android for awhile, would this have caused any problems? I thought I should try that again since I can force the phone to use a calibration.txt file that works for sure, and see if the phone is "fixed" then. I guess my options are...
Try haret android again
task 29?
reflash?
be sad, it's a digitizer issue
(tldr) Touchscreen is off, but not always by the same amount. Reflashing wouldn't cure it and I can't calibrate it. Targets keep going around and around after the reflash, where before I couldn't get them to click even once.
Maybe one of those will fix my problem..I hope so, but I posted here to see if anyone else had heard of an intermittent touchscreen issue like this?
Thanks for reading/help guys.
Can a mod move this to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=488 Touch pro 2/Tilt forum? I feel as if I posted it in the wrong forum and I'd get more responses in the other. Thanks!
Have you tried pressing the two volume buttons at the same time to get to that calibration screen. Then try to calibrate and see what happens. If this does not work for you then I would think its a hardware issue.

[Q] Ghost touches (especially in dock) with TF700t. How to fix this?

I had issues with my Asus TF700t that quite often it did not react on touch gestures.
And on the home screen the "change backround" dialog opened sometimes without any touch on the device.
This happend very very often when it was in the dock, but also without the dock (less occurence).
Now i know that the reason are ghost touches. By the usage of touch test apps (e.g. "Simple Touchscreen Tester" oder "Yet Another MultiTouch Test") i realized the ghost touches.
This touches are recognized always on the same coordinates. The multitouch test app detects 4 fingers on the same y-axis.
When the tab is in the dock and i open it completely to the maximum the two bolts from the dock are pressing very strong to the background of the screen glass. This is causing the ghost touches.
I opened the tab and tried to find what could be wrong (especially on the area where the touches are detected).
Anyhow i could not find anything. The only thing i noticed was the on the y-axis of the ghost touches the screen is fixed on the left and the right.
I check everything else closed the case ... but the ghost touches are still present.
Any idea how to fix the issue??? Who else realized the same issue???
Attached some screen shots from the touch test apps.

Sounds like you have a digitiser hardware issue to me. Had the same on my Surface RT. Only fix was to get it replaced.
Yeah, I just got mine back from warranty digitizer recalibration.
tapatalkin'
Another TF700T here that just returned from RMA with digitizer repair. Went very smoothly for me and I have a TF700T that again works extremely well.
Do they replace parts or just recalibration? Is it possible to so this myself?
I have unlocked bootloader and i do not know if they will repair it without any problem. Any experience on this?
Hi,
First, sorry for my english...
Second, I have same problem since saturday 24 august with my TF700T. Buy november 2012.
I tried to updated to android 4.2 But it didn't solve my pb.
I try "Multi Touch test" app and I observed same problem than mr_cg. Thanks for your good description "Ghost touch"
Ghost disappear when i unplug and re-plug dock, (some time two or three time) but just for some second ...

If you are root, you can perhaps try this app:
ILITEK Touch Utility
or
(less chance i think, it did for S2,S3) TouchScreenTune
Me i am not root, but if it is working for you, perhaps i will try to be.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the hint. I tried the apps, but both do not solve my issues.
ILITEK ... descriptions sounds good, but unfortunately not working (i get always "access denied" even i have root for sure).
TouchScreenTune ... Based on description it should be also good tool to reduce/improve situation with ghost touches. Anyhow ... it is not working with TF700t.
I am just thinking if i should open the case again???
If with root permissions you don't find solution ... I think i should call Asus support for my first RMA..
snif snif.
Thanks for your return. I win a lot of time.
Same issue
I'm having the same issue here, but only when docked. Seems like I'll stop using the dock since I am out of waranty because I unlocked the bootloader ...:S
I've been having a similar issue very badly on the right side of my screen, it was practically unusable. I am also out of warranty because I'm unlocked. What I did to make it at least somewhat usable was go into the build prop and change my max touch screen events from 200 to 4, and changed my touch sensitivity from .001 to 1 (this setting may have only been available on CROMI. Anyway, now my touchscreen doesn't work on the right side, however it does work everywhere else, and most importantly I can still use the tab as a laptop in its dock. It's a bumm it doesn't work right, but it's better than a total loss!
Sorry guys, it is a failed design problem due to connection to the touch screen. see my post in the "so i took it apart" thread.
Cost me a ruined lcd screen to figure it out

What a great thread! Thanks, I've posted this elsewhere but having just send my TF700 back to ASUS I now have a pretty good idea of what might have been wrong with it. Here's what I posted and what I've told them anyway. I've overlooked the Ghost touches unfortunately, so I will let them know that (if they don't already)......any comments welcome...
Asus Transformer S/N D20KAS016975
I've struggled with this tablet since purchase in April this year, not being at all familiar with tablets I did not know whether it was just me, the general setup, or the tablet itself at fault. Most certainly the performance is not satisfactory. I have done three 'Factory Resets' and numerous Soft Resets.
Intermittently, the tablet will scroll and flash through various apps, when I open it. Originally File Manager would open itself up, then I got the feeling the Weather app would upset things. Sometimes a browser would make it do the same. Then I tried various Launchers, but the best of them (I think) sometimes shows the menu unannounced. Same thing, on and off until I intervene.
It is also prone to do this just sitting open by itself.
Clearing the caches sometimes fixes this. Sometimes this will stop by itself, other times I need to either close the lid, press the lock button, or turn it off. Then it will be OK.
At times Gmail will scroll randomly through the accounts, messages, labels etc.
Every browser I've tried will sometimes shut itself off, especially if I try to type something into a message box, usually when I've spent some time doing this!
Occasionally I can feel a slight tingling sensation when I'm lightly touching the back of the screen.
One other thing: When left overnight the mouse doesn't work and the tablet needs to be turned off and on again for the mouse to work. I also think the screen doesn't turn off sometimes (can see a light).
At other times the whole thing works just fine.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Grant
Tablet arrived back this morning

Tablet arrived back this morning and seems all OK. Report indicates they replaced the LCD panel (new) & replaced the touch controller board (also new). And did various tests. Good service I think, no fuss. I'll let you know how it's going in a few days.

Grant,
Was your tablet still under warranty? Did they charge anything? I wonder if they redesigned the digitizer connection or just put a new screen which will wear out as well. The digitizer connector runs along the bottom left of tablet screen. Same area is being pressed when you close dock, which wears it out.
You can go to developer settings and enable "show touches" (lowers tablet performance) then press on the bottom left edge of the screen, roughly 1/3 point of its length, and see if you get the ghosts to appear.

Yes, still under warranty (problem was there from day 1 although I didn't realise it at the time) and no charge. See attached pdf Customer report. Shows replacement Led panel, & controller board. No sign of ghost touches so far, and really working well actually. Early days yet, but I also note elsewhere in these forums someone mentioned their tablet not working properly 'upside down'. I neglected to mention it earlier but upside down isn't as funny as his respondents made out. I use mine often lying on the couch watching TV, with the tab upside down. Reason I mention it now is that mine acted up in those circumstances too. Anyway, that's fixed too.
