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
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

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.

Anyone ever notice the touch screen issue?

I never saw this posted before,but imo was a big bug.
When you like say go to settings and slowly scroll say down, then stop for a second and slowly go the opposite way, you can move your finger poetry far before the screen jumps to your finger..... Not like that on my vibrant or sensation... Especially in gaming that was annoying especially shooting games requiring fine aiming readjustments.... I believe the sgs2 has the issue as well, like the threshold is off...
Anyone else notice that?
Also those calling me a troll stop. I still want a g2x when its a better phone...
YouTube video of my sensation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58bbvC78BR0&feature=youtube_gdata_player On multitouch test it moves very nicely when I stop and slowly move it again. You can see the sensation can move it slow....... Try that with the g2x and it will not respond right away but then jump to the right position....
Here's what I'm talking about but on a sgs2. This is what my g2x did and so does my friends... So i know they all do at least stock.. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?deskto...e.com/watch?v=sRXcBcpSD1w&v=sRXcBcpSD1w&gl=US

Mine didn't do this but it always takes me a couple of swypes to unlock it. Also, when scrolling, it seems like a flick of my finger doesn't get very far. For instance, in the app drawer, it will take two to three swypes just to get to the bottom.

I'm not having that problem either.

Was that on the stock rom? I remember the same thing on my phone when it was stock. This was fixed in other roms though. I've been using Ultimate and CM7 primarily and they scroll super fast and no problems on the lock screen either.

Mines does this. It is most notable in the browser it the xda app. It is annoying.

Its not an issue with the touchscreen itself. Its the rom you're using and the way it handles the physics of scrolling. I'm using CM7 now, and Ultimate G2X before this, and they both scroll a lot faster.

Mines does it in the setting but it doesn't bother me I had to try to make it happen no big deal just give me gingerbread

My touchscreen does not have this problem. Stock and rooted btw.

Please stop trolling the g2x forums. It is ridiculous that you sell a phone and then keep posting threads about your problems with it.
If someone else with a g2x has an issue that you dealt with and you have a solution or can confirm that they are not alone, by all means be helpful.
Otherwise, you're being a troll.

I seriously think you are inmature and your intentions of coming back to the G2x forums after getting rid of the G2x are not good ones.
Please, if this is going to be your attitude don't post non-existent problems of a phone you no longer have.

Thought he was trollin too. It only does it if u move it very very slow.

Whatever RaycerX09 issues are I don't know, with 4 posts he way off base.
There is a video on Youtube of a G2x with an early release of 2.3 which he give a review of.
He notes the problem of slow recognition on the unlock swipe. I have this problem in the all apps section about 20% of the time, slow to pick up and or not picking up.....have to multi swipe.
This sounds close enough to the problem in the OP. Long story short is the reviewer says the problem was greatly if not totally fixed in 2.3....he specifically addressed the unlock recognition, which should be the worse case.

This problem was fixed once I loaded ADW or Launcher Pro.

Some launchers change those things but stock did have a weird scroll. Its like it tried to scroll a page.
CM7 fixed that in one of the earlier builds. On the latest nightly it is smooth as silk.

Yeah mine does the exact same thing. It shows itself mostly in the browser, sometimes it can be quite the pain in the ass just scroll slowly because it constantly wants to take these big jumps.

Mine does it on stock using LauncherPro. The "rom" that affects this is the stock ROM, so it is LG's fault then Not even rooted

Those calling me a troll need to behave yourselves. Don't cry I was wondering if anyone has the issue cause mine did and so does my friend that I'm rooting...
Helping a buddy out and mentioned it , I remember mine had the issue... Don't get your panties in a wad .. tall ruining my high..lol

I've had my G2x since day one that it was released... never experienced anything like that with the touch screen - other than having to swipe more than once in a blue moon to unlock it...

Apps reopening themselves?

Ive noticed recently that my browser and youtube apps seem to minimize and then open again. I dont see the homescreen, the app kinda shrinks like it was closed, and then expands from the top. Im really not sure what has caused this. This only started happening recently and i have no idea what could be causing it. The only thing ive installed recently was the humble bundle games.
When it reopens, it remembers what i was typing in the youtube comment, but the video is stopped and i usually need to rewatch the ad before i can skip back to the video position. Really annoying on the bigger videos.
Other problems im having is i get random lines flicker across the screen, and almost looks like its an 'extra' line that shifts the image up by one pixel to make room for it.
And then i noticed on the asus keyboard there is a spot on the spacebar that doesnt work. It makes the typing sound when clicked, but no space character is typed. Its on the far right side of the spacebar. It was extremely frustrating until i discovered why half the things i typed had no space even though i was SURE i hit the spacebar.

I'm having the same issue, I posted a thread about it over in the Q&A section, but still haven't heard of any workarounds... but i will at the least confirm i have the same issues

I can also confirm I am having the same issues, all of them.
Especially prevalent is the apps minimizing then opening themselves up again. I've been trying to figure out if an app is doing it but I don't think this is the case. I have also installed Humble Bundle apps though, it could potentially be that.
The keyboard's spacebar seems to just be bad hardware design. I miss a lot of spaces as well and have slowly migrated my thumb to the center of the spacebar because of it.

It was happening to me with the old firmware before i installed .18 even. I held off on updating until yesterday. Its got to be an app...

I think I fixed this issue by enabling GPU rendering in developer settings... Now the only issue is the random black line flickering which seems to be a common issue for everyone on Android 4.1.1
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app

The apps re-opening issue has vanished for me, likely due to an app update im guessing. I didnt change anything except update some apps, though im not sure which one it could have been.
I still have the lines flickering, and the right end of the space bar on the virtual keyboard still doesnt work. Etc. Though, these problems seem more common so im guessing/hoping they will get fixed.

Yea I haven't seen it either.

[Q] Typing on OPO

Is it me or is typing on this device a pain?
Its like I have to type at the devices pace, as in, it cant keep up and letters get skipped or swipe activates.
I havent experienced this on any other device. Any help?
Im using the stock google keyboard.

What keyboard app are you using? I'm using SwiftKey and am not experiencing any problems with double hand typing, although flowing thru SwiftKey can have a lot of errors or sometimes I accidently have my hand on the enter button.

Try art and then if that doesn't work. Try another keyboard app like SwiftKey, it's free now. So you don't lose anything by trying either

Try using your fingers to type

I have also problems, in portrait mode and with the standard keyboard I can' t type a "b" . Its always the letter nearby... I use now smart t9 keyboard to avoid this problem. I already reseted the device,unchecked the gestures and contacted the support,but still the same !
Im afraid thats it hardware related ?

This isn't just you. There are plenty of people having this problem. Please, create a JIRA account here and "Vote" on the issue by using the links on the right (and also comment if you can). The higher the exposure, the more seriously they'll take this problem.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55
As I said in the other thread, we're all very nervously waiting to find out if this is a hardware issue or a software one. I literally cannot reliably type on this thing unless I slow right the heck down and type like a snail.

Faulty touch screen when typing fast

Whenever I type fast the screen registers touches that I don't do or small swipes. I originally thy thought it was my fault but now I'm noticing it more often.
Does anyone else have this issue? Maybe its a kernel issue or hardware? Using PA with Franco kernel
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Here you can see when I'm taping each side alternatively it registers another touch further in the middle, doesn't always happen but enough to be annoying.
OK its pretty hard to see, try yourself using screen touch test

I thought I was the only one with this issue. I was gonna reap my fingers off. Wow.
Anyways, I heard CM is issuing a fix coz it has to do with the kernel.
So let's hope there's a fix.

i've noticed this as well - can't wait for a fix i hate having to type slow -.-

omg this is one of the BIGGEST issues i'm having with the phone
when i type fast it sometimes registers a swipe left or down which will either delete the last word (Swiftkey) or make the keyboard disappear
its SOOO annoying...
i really hope this is a software issue that can be addressed
i'm coming from the Nexus 5 which was super solid and accurate for typing
i even tried disabling all screen gestures as per the other OPO threads but there isnt any difference

Same here, but for me some times the app i am typing on gets minimized. Does this happen to anyone else?

Personally I've never had that but I was only using cm11s for 1 day before I moved to Paranoid android. Maybe that's a ROM issue? I've heard of someone else having the same issue as you though

I installed SwiftKey keyboard and see if it helped that issue. Sorry to inform, not by much if at all. Coming from a nexus 5 too and I thought I just wasn't adjusted to the screen size but it is happening regularly enough to make me suspicious.

this issue is becoming a showstopper for me
its like...70% accuracy or less
either it will have a phantom swipe to left or down for me, which will either delete the last word or make my keyboard disappear
i didnt have any of these issues with my N5. I have my N5 right beside me too and i type the exact same speed and its 100% accurate
something is totally off with the OPO touchscreen and i REALLY hope its a software related issue..

SwiftKey only helps the issue because it is better than Google keyboard at correcting errors when you type. The screen still had the same issue.
Surely hope this is a kernel driver issue that can be fixed. It has been noted by many people and apparently they are working on it or it has been at least acknowledged. I would be surprised if they we would let these phones go out faulty like this without knowing there was a resolution that could be reached....

Got my OPO in the mail on its way. Yet another thing to be concerned about.
Also currently running a nexus 5.

I thought it was my own personal error this whole time. Hope it can be fixed with a software update!

Guys, please help us all out and vote on this issue in JIRA to make it as visible as possible to the CM devs. Create a JIRA account, and then on the right, Vote for the issue and then watch it as well. Also, if you can, comment on it too.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55
There are a LOT of people complaining about this issue, and many of us are nervously waiting to find out if it's a hardware or software issue. I'm personally hoping it's a kernel fix that needs to be done on CM's side, or it's something that can be fixed with a firmware update from JDI.

BTW - for more visibility , I found this official JIRA ticket for the issue:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55
I hope it gets more exposure. I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this because it's awful.
It's really the only major issue for me though, everything about the phone has been pretty great
*EDIT
oh lol, looks like someone beat me to it haha

I am actually relieved to see other people experiencing this. I use Swiftkey almost exclusively, installed it first thing, and I thought they must have done something, because I have had to focus on slowing down how quickly I type. I am bummed to know it's my phone but relieved to know it's not just me.

No one said its a kernel issue on JIRA. I was the one who posted the issue first on XDA and someone replied to me and took the initiative to put it on JIRA. I've been following this from day 1, and the CM devs said they're looking into it. Never said if it will be fixed or not. We can only hope.
Also please notice the CM devs may have accidentally merged two issues into BACON-55. Please only talk on BACON-55 if your issue is related to fast typing and the multitouch issues.
