Samsung Moment : Screen Touch Accuracy / Way To Calibrate It
First of all I searched and couldn't find anything on this. Is anyone else having an issue with the screen not being very accurate? The on screen keyboard seems fine for me, but choosing something such as a link in the web browser is a little off on my phone. An example would be opening www.wsmv.com (my local news), then trying to click on news on the left hand side...instead of news, it will choose what is below it (in this case weather). I thought it was my fat fingers, but others who have tried my phone experience the same issue. I was just wondering if it was just me? Any way to calibrate the screen?

Motorola Droid X :: Calibrate Touch And Exit Text Boxes?
I don't know if this is possible on the X, but how do I calibrate the touch screen? I've noticed two things that are beginning to drive me crazy. The first is that it is so sensitive at times, if I pass my finger over a button without actually touching the screen, it thinks I pressed it and executes the function. Second, I noticed that the spot I touch actually is off a bit so when I try to hit a link from a list (such as a thread here) it will pick the one above it.

Samsung Captivate :: Touch Screen Compared To HTC's Touch Screen?
Just a quick question about the Captivate. I just got myself an HTC Aria and I love how easy it is to use the touch screen on it. Its extremely responsive. Now my sister has the SamSung Instinct on Sprint and the touch screen is horrible compared to HTCs touch on the Aria. Im thinking about taking the HTC back to AT&T and getting the Samsung Captivate. I am just worried about the touch screen on it and if it will be like the Instincts? If the touch is as good as HTCs Ill get it. If its not, then Ill stick with the Aria because despite its size, its an extremely fun and responsive phone. Any thoughts?

Motorola Droid :: Touch Screen Works On Half The Screen
I bought a new droid for $20 haha lucky i think until i notice that the touch screen only works for the middle of the screen to the left so if yu cut the screen into thirds only the middle and left work assuming that yu cut it from top to bottom with the lights at the bottom for the home button etc. I opened it up cleaned all the flex cable with alcohol and waited for it to dry and it still does the same thing so my question is = do i need a new digitizer or is it a software problem or something that i dont even know?

HTC Desire :: Locking The Screen Via Touch Screen
Anyone know of a widget to simply lock the screen or put into sleep mode by pressing something on the screen rather than pressing the power button on the top of the phone. Tried looking around and unless I'm missing something (I am particularly good at missing the obvious!) there doesn't seem to be anything that does just that. Anyone know/come across anything that will do this? Does anyone know if this might be included in 2.2?

Android :: Touch Screen Slowdown
I am having a problem with the touch screen in that whenever the screen is touched, it causes significant slowdown because of the large number of callbacks that are being made. I have read in this group about throttling the UI thread, but this does not seem a good solution and i can't believe there isn't a better approach?

Android :: Touch Screen Data
Alot of android phones use the capacitive touchscreen technology. I was wondering if there is away to access any sort of information related to this sensor. In other words I want to get the voltage potential related to the distance that you push down on the screen. I know this is probably really deep into the hardware technology and it's probably proprietary, but I want to know if someone has figured out how to access this data or if there is a way around it.

Android :: Get Raw Touch Screen Data
RT Actually I wanna detect the shape of touch point, i.e. the shape of finger touch on the screen Seems that the only information I can get in touch event is the size of the touch point(by event.getSize()) By the implementation of the screen, the shape(and pressure of each point in the shape) of the touching finger should be the first raw data that the hardware can detect So, how could I get these raw data?

Android :: Game / Touch Screen Controls
It would end up looking something like the PSP. You would think that this would be an incredible feature for gamers and any platform that was serious about gaming. Then we wouldn't have to use touchscreen controls, barely passable d-pads, or optical trackballs?

Android :: How To Get Screen All Dark But Still Touch Sensitive
I want to get the display as dark as possible but I also want the display to remain touch sensitive.So I can't turn the display off, otherwise it wouldn't react to touch anymore. And I use WindowManager. LayoutParams. screenBrightness to get the screen as dark as possible. And I put a layer colored black over the entire display.That works, but at night one sees that the screen is still quite strongly illuminated.Does anybody have an idea of how to get the screen even darker?

Android :: Touch Screen Response Delay
I am working on a game that displays its graphics through a modified SurfaceView.The game scrolls around a map based on the location of the main character.That all works fine.I am trying to add a feature to the game that allows you to touch the screen and drag the camera around to see other parts of the map.This is where I am running into trouble.The game's SurfaceView overrides 'public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent event)'to call another method in the game's thread which handles the events.Sometimes, this works fine (although the frame rate drops significantly while the screen is touched).Other times, there will be a delay of several seconds before the game responds to a touch event, during which time the game continues, but the user loses all control.During these delays, a message sometimes appears stating that my activity is not responding, and giving the options to 'Force close' or 'Wait'.If the user selects 'Wait', the game almost always resumes right away, but these delays are obviously not acceptable.The delays occur only the first time the screen is touched after the game is started.Once the game has resumed after a delay, the touch events work just fine again.

Android :: Monkey - Touch Events Being Dispatched To The Screen
I start monkey like this: monkey -p <MY PACKAGE> --port 4321 (I have already done a tcp port forwarding). I then use PuTTY to telnet to 127.0.0.1:4321 I can issue a command like tap 100 100 I get a response OK but I see nothing happening on the UI. I have placed a button at that location but I does not receive the touch event. When I run monkey like this monkey -p <MY PACKAGE> --pct-touch 100 -v 10 I see touch events being dispatched to the screen.

Android :: Detect Touch Screen Devices With Javascript?
In Javascript/jQuery, how can I detect if the client device has a mouse? I've got a site that slides up a little info panel when the user hovers their mouse over an item. I'm using jQuery.hoverIntent to detect the hover, but this obviously doesn't work on touchscreen devices like iPhone/iPad/Android. So on those devices I'd like to revert to tap to show the info panel.

Android :: Coordinates Of Touch / Click On Home Screen Widget
I have a widget and I would like to detect position where user click on some part of the widget's bitmap. I didn't found any way how to detect coordinates of the touch on RemoteViews.Is anybody aware of some trick how to detect it. Only idea I have is create layout with grid of transparent buttons, put by widget's bitmap as background of such a layout and to every button set PendingIntent.

Android :: Trackball Doesn't Give Me Click Events / But Touch Screen Does
I have a list activity that creates a header row above the data rows from the adapter. I want to receive click events when the user selects the header or a data row (but my data rows have check boxes in them, so this part is tricky). When I use the touch screen, I get this expected behavior: 1. Tapping on any row causes a click event and a dialog appears. 2. Long-pressing on a data row causes a context menu to appear. 3. Long-pressing on the header row does *not* show the context menu. However, when I use the arrow keys (emulator) or trackball (G1), I get this unexpected behavior: 1. Selecting any row fails to cause any click events, even though the row's appearance changes like it's being clicked. 2. Long-pressing on the header row *does* show the context menu, which I don't want. 3. Occasionally, it doesn't focus the correct row when I move up or down (e.g. it skips from the header to the last data row).

HTC EVO 4G :: New Touch Screen
I'm actually usually lurking on the HTC Incredible forums, and had originally found a greatly informative article about the new touch screen tech the EVO 4g and Inc will be using. Does anyone have a site book marked talking about how it's different, how it works, and how it compares to other screens? I know there was an article, and a video of a woman using the technology on a big screen, it looked great. I wanted to show it off...it really is some amazing technology.

HTC EVO 4G :: Touch Screen
My wife and I are looking at the Evo. It will be the first touch screen either one of us has owned. My wife has long finger nails. Will she get by with touching the screen with her nail or will she need to actually use her finger? This could be a deal breaker for her.

HTC EVO 4G :: Touch Screen Locking Up
my Evo's screen will lock up...by that I mean the phone continues to function if I get a call or text, but I can't press any buttons or anything else on the screen (I'm still on v2.1). I can press the Power button and it brings up the power options dialog, but I'm unable to select any option or dismiss it. Usually if I wait a few minutes the screen will eventuall unfreeze and allow normal operation, but on a couple of occasions I had to pull the battery. Coming from the Palm Pre I'm used to this kind of crap, but I was hoping I left it behind me. Is there a way to reboot the phone just using the hard keys (i.e., some combination of Power + volume)? This would be an acceptable workaround...in fact, I would pay for an app that would turn the Power button into a "power off" button with a long press (hold the key down for 10 seconds and it turns off the phone). Otherwise, this is just annoying, but so far I'm living with it.

Motorola Droid :: How To Calibrate GPS
How do I calibrate my GPS. For some reason on some roads it thinks I am 50 to 100 feet off the side of the road. Then some roads I am fine. It is real annoying when the navigation lady keeps telling me to turn left at the intersection of 1st and broad, 2nd and broad, etc. for every side street I pass because it thinks I am 100 feet to the left of where I actually am. I have never had this problem with any GPS I have ever used so what gives..

HTC EVO 4G :: App Or Option To Turn Off Touch-screen
If there is an app or menu option to turn the touch screen on & off. Sometimes when I'm watching videos while holding the phone in my hand, if I get distracted for a second (say someone comes up and talks to me) and I move the phone, the slightest brush of my hands near the screen plays havoc with the video I'm watching. I'd like a way to temporarily toggle the touch screen on/off, say with volume/base button combination or something.

Samsung Epic 4G :: Touch Screen Lag
Ok time for the next issue with this phone. Has anyone noticed a general lag between touch screen presses and actions/sounds? The best examples are: 1) I type fast, and keep the click sound when I type. I can literally hear about a 1/4 second to 1/2 second lag between when I press the buttons and when the sound clicks. 2) Download any free piano or drum up and try to keep a steady beat. There's a nasty lag between when you tap the screen and when the sound comes out. For comparison, the keyboard and piano app on my old iphone (3G no less), work perfectly. And my iPad is wonderfully smooth. Is this a software issue, or a problem with my phone? Musical Lite is a good sample program for free if anyone wants to try this out.

HTC Desire HD :: Unresponsive Gap In Touch Screen
just got my desire HD on friday and i've noticed a massive problem already. a part of the screen is unresponsive or just doesn't work properly. its a massive pain to try and type on and sometimes a button to press is in that gap on the screen so essentially you cant select it? a friend of mine has got an experia phone and he said he had the same issue but, when he did a 'manual update on his computer using software on phone?' it fixed it. so i'm hoping this could be a software fix and hopefully not have to wait to send it back.i hope you guys have heard of a problem like this and could really help me

HTC EVO 4G :: Top Part Of Touch Screen Unresponsive
Just recently, the top part of the screen where I would normally swipe to slide out the notification tray turned unresponsive. I downloaded the screen test tookit and tested the touch screen, and it confirmed the top part of the screen is not registering any touches. Is there anyway to fix this? Or am I stuck with this unless I bring it back to Sprint?
