Hi all,
I simply love this phone, but I'm facing a situation that my screen is too sensitive. The home screens were so sensitive a few programs were started without my knowledge. It got better after I switched to Launcher Pro.
However, it is still too sensitive in other areas. When I'm scrolling down, say, the apps in Market, I'll always end up selecting a few items accidentally before I reach the end of the list.
I've used HTC Desire in the past and I'm quite sure the problem is not due to me.
Does anyone else face the same problem, or I have a hardware problem? Or software problem? Can I be tweaked by any means?
Any feedback would be useful! Thanks!!!

I faced this problem before... while swiping, apps accidentally open. But instead of "too sensitive" i thought it's insensitive... because a short swipe was sometimes interpreted as a tap (maybe because the swipe was not fully detected?).
Anyway, I had 2 layers on my device... the pre-applied sheet and another screen protector that came with the box.
I removed the second layer, leaving only the pre-applied sheet, and all is well again... no more accidental "taps"

Dude, you mean the cause was the screen protector that came with the phone???

For my case, maybe 2 layers is just too thick
I'm having the same problem. And that solution seems to make sense. I would give it a try, but if the problem still occurs, I'd be wasting one screen protector..

That was how I solved my problem. I actually put on the spare screen protector because when I got the set I didn't realize there was already a pre-applied layer.
Don't blame me if it doesn't work for you
perhaps some of you guys just have the shakes?! ;-p
I guess the screen is never to perfect for everyone.
kargtan, I've noticed the same about the tap sensitivity - I often accidentally "tap" when I mean to swipe. Came from an iPhone 3g and didn't notice this on that device. Might be a matter of getting used to it, not sure. Have you gotten any feedback from others in other forums?
I've noticed this too, and put it down to the screen protector. It's not android OS causing it, never had the problem on my htc hero...
However, now that i've gotten used to the phone it doesnt do it any more - guess my brain has automatically trained itself to drag the screen a little bit more firmly or something.
One thing i have noticed about the arc is: because the bezel around the screen is so thin, i often accidentally launch apps just by holding it. My fingers wrap around slightly & touch the edges of the screen.
Does any of you have problems while trying to swap a screen from another and instead of swapping you get like a "bounce" and stay on the same screen? because that happens to me all the time, I came from an htc Legend and this is making me crazy !
btw, this happens to me if I hold the phone with my right hand and try to do the swapping with my thumb, the only way to get it right is to hold the phone with my left hand and use the index of my right hand
Screen too/not sensitive
Hi guys,
I think the problem arises from the slowness of the phone, not "too sensitive". I used to use the HTC Desire in the past and I was very used to the screen scrolling very quickly. In contrast, the arc is slower and hence the screens don't scroll as fast and hence my way of handling the Desire would cause the problems stated.
I did a few things since my last posting and it seems better now:
Replace the SE Home with Launcher Pro - this seems to have improved on the speed of the phone, and hence better responsiveness to the touch.
Rooted the phone and uninstalled some stock programs.
Removed useless widgets on the desktops.
Adjusted my way of scrolling as someone has suggested.
This is quite frustrating at times, especially so because other than this problem, this phone is a gem, especially its form factor, the sound quality and most importantly, the quality of the camera.
I might sell the phone once the company issues me with a Blackberry (DANG!), but I am kinda unwilling because I have been taking lots of photos with my Android phones and these photos are generally well-liked by my Facebook friends.
agree with bezel thing and hard to use thumb.
noticed arc screen (the screen guard perhaps ) easily get oily and slippery.
had to wipe phone and wash hand so often that make me like some sort of disorder.
Don't know why you guys seem to be having problems... I don't have any issues with my screen swipes at all... smooth and fast.. both on stock and Launcher Pro..
Same deal here. But that's because the screen is sensitive beyond the display area including the black border, and the edge is too narrow. When I use one hand swiping or tapping, the palm of my hand touches the black border. The screen registers two touches in quick succession and thus jumps.
In Phone keypad, enter *#*#7378423#*#* (the numbers mean SERVICE word in keypad), you can go into test mode. Select [Service test]->[Touch Screen] to test the badly touch screen of SE Phones.
You will discover when you swipe the edge of touch screen, the touched result is very not satisfied. The lines you swiped will not accurate and appear like jags, or stick on the edge of the screen.
The touch panel made in China...? ;-)
Me too!
Hey!
i also have a xperia tipo....and i too have the sensitive problem
Could also be a kernel problem?
I remember I installed a kernel a while back that would make my screen hypersensitive; just hovering over the screen would already activate it!
I don't remember which one, it was back in the GB days. But I'm pretty sure it can be changed in the kernel.
Hello all of you,
I have been lurking around to buy the Xperia Play for quite some time and when our local store had a good christmas offer yesterday I got it. Everything I bought it for that makes it unique works like a charme but THE most basic functionality is not: making a call.
As with all my electronic gadgets before really going into it I updated the Play through PC companion and got the latest firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42 and android OS 2.3.4. I don't know or remember which versions were on it out of the box. So I can't say if the following problem would have occured even before the update.
Everytime I want to make a call or accept a call, be it a contact or dialed number, the display goes dead. It's black and doesn't react to touch or button inputs. When the call is finished (the other one has to hang up as I can't, of course) it takes some time and when switching to landscape mode AND sliding out the gamepad the Play becomes alive again (showing the Xperia Play Games as it normally does by default when sliding out the gamepad).
I emailed to SE support but an answer has yet to come. Do you have an idea? I reset the Play through PC companion but nothing changes (of course I can only reset with the latest firmware).
If you need any more information or files please let me know and I will post them.
Have you by any chance put a generic screen protector on your Play? The reason I ask is because I had a similar problem with my LG Ally. What I found out is that there is a thing called a proximity sensor that blanks the screen when you are talking on the phone to save power. Some screen protectors or sticker type skins or possibly a generic protective case will block the proximity sensor just enough to keep it from sensing whether the phone is up to your face. I ended up cutting out the spot where the proximity sensor was on my generic skin and protector, and things went back to normal.
It's also possible that you have a bad proximity sensor, in which case that would require service.
You're right!
I can't believe it, that's it! I put on the screen protector that came with the phone(!) and it really covers the sensor as well. I can't believe it. How could SE put something like that into the package? I was about to return the phone tomorrow, just because of the OEM screen protector. Unbelievable, really.
Thank you very much!

Actually screen protector works fine, your mistake was applying the spare one. All xperia plays come with a shatter proof screen protector factory fitted, so when you applied the spare one, you had 2 screen protectors fitted.

Well, I got my Nexus on thursday, but immediately I noticed a problem .
At the bottom, the glass is slightly tilted, on the right is raised above the frame, while on the left is recessed ...
these are some pictures I took
I talked to the shop and they told me that they will solve the problem (repositioning of the glass) ...
What I wanted to know is what happen when the phone is opened, because on my current Nexus One, after first service, i have tons of dust entering between the display and the glass, and obviously I don't want the same thing also on this phone
So, do you have some experience with samsung's assistance ?
thanks!
anyone ?
As long as it's purely cosmetic, I wouldn't risk (or waste the money) having some guy open the phone to even out the glass.
Mine is the exact same way at the top of the screen, and I only noticed mine a few weeks after having it just because I was looking very very closely at the screen.
However, the problem it's quite visible on my phone, the difference between the two corners is about 1 mm, and with the glass that protrudes from the frame is even more subject to scratching ...
I don't know what to do ...
there is no one who opened the phone ?
The what you call a "glass" is the whole screen, so there no any way you get dust particles under it, as there no "under" , maybe the glue that hold it not have not dry good, I remember SGS2 have some yellow tint, or maybe it was SGS1, anyway things like that do happen to some devices.
Are you sure?
I have always found that touchscreen ("glass") and the display are two separate things
I'd return it for a replacement, that's an obvious build defect cite that you fear it'll either get worse or become a leak source.
Also, I am relieved I don't have this issue although I'd expect that I'd notice it quickly as you
Hi, I have an issue that has formed after glass replacement on my Note 2. I was extremely careful in trying not to damage anything during the replacement process and I did not use excessive heat either, keeping the screen under 170 degrees F to loosen the cracked screen. The issue is that about half the time the phone touch screen will stop working during normal use and then when I hit the lock button on the right side and then unlock the phone again it will be ok for a while before it acts up again. So far, I have done a soft and hard reset with no luck. I noticed the problem is worse when the 12 small screws in the back of the phone are very tight, I loosened them all a few turns and this helped it act up less. The pen always works. I installed a multi touch testing app and this proves that something is up because it sometimes reads fingers that arent there, generally in the middle of the screen and sometimes this programs just completely flips out and reads fingers everywhere. So at this point Im guessing that maybe the replacement glass is too close to the LCD? It also does seem to be negatively affected if I bend the whole phone slightly, this also sometimes causes the touch screen to flip out of just quit altogether. Any input is extremely appreciated!
Is there supposed to be anything between the glass and the lcd when the glass is replaced? Sorry if thats a dumb question.
Anyone having touch sensitivity issues or weird touch problems on their cover screen?
I do have the Spigen tempered glass protector installed on it so I'm not sure if that's the issue or if it's the phone itself.
Speed Test https://vidmate.bid/
I turned up touch sensitivity in the settings and that's helped a little but it still misbehaves sometimes. Like it will scroll when I'm trying to tap and vice versa.
Wondering if anyone else has had problems (with or without screen protector)
You sir, are superfluously creating a new thread.
Touch/tap problems
I'm having problems with my Fold 4 not registering taps. I tap a space on the screen and nothing happens. I do it several more times, and finally it responds. I haven't seen a clear pattern yet, because it's somewhat intermittent. Has anyone else...
forum.xda-developers.com
My wife and i we both pre-ordered the Samsung Fold 4 and we both got the same issues that guys described.
We contacted Samsung over the phone... Is it only me but even if i'm full of compassion their customer support is awful? So many calls, they connected to our phones with Samsung Tutor... And no clear help or explanation after hours wasted. I even tried speaking with them in 2 languages and i'm completely lost.
Anyway that aside, we are thinking of just returning both of them for good. Such a waste, aside from that i like pretty much all the rest... The crease some people don't like i can live with it. And even all that cluttering with those Samsung Apps they always have (i prefer Google Apps but oh well), i can also live with it all...
But not being able to use the screen properly? That's too much for such an high priced device.
If you guys have ideas, i'm all open, but tomorrow i think we'll return them. Because like i read here it still looks like especially the outer layer has problems.
If it helps anyone, here's what we tried:
-I never copy from one phone to a other. Clean start everytime. And cloud storage.
-We both did a factory reset after noticing all that.
-Both tried safe mode.
-Both erased the cache clean and both tried the repair app in the system (while restarting the phone, hold power and volume up).
-Both put the sensitivity higher at first. No other screen protector than the thing the put on the big screen.
-Went to accessibility and reduced the touch from 0.5 to 0.3 seconds...
Honestly i'm not sure i can do more than think they screwed up. Not sure many would try more than that. It supposed to work out of the box. Good luck everyone. I'm curious if anyone has more.
Applied the screen protector as u but i dont seem to have any touch issues apart from the screen itself to be small and unable to type on it without mistakes
