Does anyone know how to fix the problem whereby the screen's sensitivity gets worse the longer the screen stays on? Some obvious problems of this are missed keys on the keyboard while typing. Others have looked into this and have been able to properly assert that sensitivity worsens as the screen stays on longer, for some reason.

Something I discovered.
If you change the long press for home to be recents, the problem still persists.
If you access the recents screen but press back, the bug won't show in whichever app is already open until you go back home.

Just installed Cyanogen 6.1.2 with the stock kernel (savage's wouldn't pass validation in recovery for...well idk why. In fact, if anyone knows what is causing this, help would be appreciated.)
This issue wasn't occurring earlier today (before I flashed Cyan), but now when the screen is off and I push the power button to bring up the lock screen, it will either:
A) Work just fine.
B) The buttons on the bottom will light up, and nothing will happen.
C) There will be about a 5 sec. delay, and then the lock screen will come up.
It's reeeeally bugging me, and ruining my cyanogen experience :/
Please and Thank you!
I have the same problem on 6.1.1. So far I have uninstalled widget locker, removed my custom brightness profile and I'm currently testing the unlock delay under cyanogenmod settings. It seems to happen less when I have the unlock timeout set to immediate. I'm curious if your screen slowly dims before turning off when you hit the power button, out if it turns off immediately like a sense rom?

Yes, mine has been slightly dimming everytime as well. I'm wondering how common this is.

Try and set your lock timeout delay to immediate and let me know if you see improvement. Also, if you haven't figured out yet, the touch screen still works and you can unlock by swyping where your slider would be.

That seems to have fixed it to a point. It's still kind of intermittent, but for the most part there is no more issue. The strange dimming still occurs when locking though.
My Acer A100 (love it to pieces) but my screen is a little too sensitive. On my A500, under Settings/Screen there is a option to change but I haven't found anything on my A100.
Any suggestion?
What do you mean it is too sensitive? I didn't know that was possible.
I find it too sensitive too. Always double typing letters with thumb keyboard and unintentionally clicking when trying to scroll. I didn't realize there was an option to adjust on my A500, but i haven't found a need for it on that tab. I've looked for apps that might help, but no luck.
I agree that the unintentional entry into threads while scrolling seems to be a reault of over sensitivity. Starts to become rather annoying after a while.

Glad to see I am not the only one. I suppose that does not offer a solution on how to make it tolerable.

One thousannd dtimes this. I could type on my trannsformmer with thumb keyboard like a champ. With tthis thing, I have to type soo painstakingly to avoid ddouble keypresses.
The above was not exaggerated for dramatic effect.
You can put a screen protector on it. That will reduce the sensitivity.
THAT. Is a good idea.
I have put a screen protector; also as suggested by Acer tech support, removed the sticker from the side. Still too sensitive for my liking.
I also find too sensitive and have a screen protector installed. I also find it hard to click on links. If there are two links close by I always click on the one that I did not intend to. Seems its a little off. Anyone have this problem?

I have had my a100 for 2 months now. I really like it but what I find irritating is the inconsistent screen response. Most of the time it is too sensitive that it toes a letter multiple times or the back button will go back more than one screen. Other times I have to hit a link or a button a couple of times before it responds. Sometimes I hit a link and a link adjacent to it will be launched. I also have problems with scrolling a it will launch a link instead of scrolling. I already have a screen protector but it did not improve things.
I was just about to start a new thread for this, but it seems like a common problem with the A100.
Scrolling through my dropbox is nearly IMPOSSIBLE, every time I try to scroll, it clicks a link.
Also, trying to long press a item can be difficult, because it will treat it like a click instead of a long press.
I was having the same problem too!
I found out that after disabling SwiftKey X tablet keyboard returned the Acer to a great state of sensitivity level.
This might be the same thing, but with another keyboard or something.
I was constantly pressing the wrong icons and doing unintentional actions while scrolling!!!
I hope this could help.
how did you disable it the swift keyboard?

jahciple,
You either uninstall it from My App in Market App. Or uncheck the keyboard from input methods.
I hope that works for you!
Please post your feedback and share it with us!
nm i thought you were referring to the stock keyboard.

I think the problem when scrolling and it accidentally selecting is because the touch screen loses connection with your finger and thinks you lifted it off and then touched it again. If you download multitouch vis and test touch sensitivity by running your finger from side to side that the colored dots will flicker or sometimes disappear as if you lifted yout finger off. So I think its not because its too sensitive but less sensitive. This happens more if you just lay the tablet down on a surface so only your finger is touching it. If you touch the bezel with your other hand it as you touch test with the other then it will respond better. This could possibly be grounding issue.

Definitely having this problem on mine. This is really the only issue I have with the device, and it's quite frustrating!
Same here. Sometimes when I'm scrolling on the home screen it either scrolls backwards or scroll two pages over (skipping one page). Anyone else have the issue? As for the other issues (clicking links while scrolling) I experience those too. I really love the device too. I was gonna get the Nook Tablet but I gott this for cheaper and it's just as good if not better.

i think we need to bring this up to acers attention. Im sure its just a matter of software update. When the original evo 4g came out it had touch screen issue where it wouldnt respond correctly unless your touching the device with your other hand. It was fixed via software update. Same thing happens with this device. Again download multitouch vis and you can test touch sesitivity while laying it on a surface while running one finger all across the screen you will see it flicker as if its not recognizing complete touch. But once you hold the device up with the other hand while touching the screen with the other then it doesnt flicker.
Hey guys...
Just wanted to post this little find. I haven't seen it posted before, so I apologise if I missed that thread...
Try this...
Open an application with the settings button in the bottom corner.
Switch off screen
Switch on screen
Do you have the settings button in the same corner? Press it... screen unlocks
Shortcut or flaw?

Oh wow, never noticed that before. I can't think of any benefit of it so it likely to be a bug.

The online kitchen over at MoDaCo has an option to disable 'menu key unlock'. I'm assuming this is referring to this issue (if it is an issue) but I may be wrong.

don't get this option. is it something to turn on in Settings?
Did you also notice that you can access the notification bar from the lock screen?
Can't be a feature, surely?

That is actually a feature. Quite useful if you don't have a pattern/pin/face lock setup.

Ahhhh... so it doesn't work if there is security lock on... I get it.. ty

Can someone explain what the purpose of the settings button is in this context? Is it just another way to unlock the screen? Why does it only appear in the given scenario?
Also, why do the back and home buttons appear when you drag down the notifications bar?
They do not appear to be functional, but can be pressed. I suppose the back button makes sense, as it dismisses the notification panel, but the home button does not appear to be functional.
I opened facebook, the menu button was there. I turned off screen, then turned it back on. the menu button was there on my lock screen but when I pushed it, nothing happened. phone did not unlock. I use pattern unlock.

More than likely, the menu button being on the lock screen is just a glitch that really shouldn't be there. The good news is that if you have a lock other than the slide lock (Pattern, Password, Pin, Face) the the menu button on screen does nothing.
It's already been reported to google as a bug. It only happens if you have an insecure lock method (swipe, or none).
I've had to completely stop using the Chrome browser because it is becoming unusable. Everytime I try and use it, there will be a small little white bar on the bottom (temporarily disappears when I rotate the screen) and this causes a large amount of problems. It makes my touch about 2 cm off and I have to press BELOW where I want to.
Has anyone had this problem and been able to fix it? I thought it was my screen at first, but after going into developer options and turning on screen tracking, it's not the screen.
Disregard, I figured it out, had to install Chrome Beta.
Thanks for the info. I quit using chrome too because of those issues. Going to look for chrome beta now.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with their LG 3 screen being too sensitive? The biggest issue I have is when scrolling. It scrolls fine but as you come to the end of the swipe it selects whatever is on the screen. It's a real pain when scrolling thru any type of list (restraunts on google maps, articles in flipboard, or links on google, etc.). I don't see any way to adjust the sensitivity of the screen or length of hover time needed before attempting to open/select.
I might add that I have the new ZAGG invisibleSHIELD screen protector on the phone. And interestingly enough, I have not had the sensitivity issue that some have reported with the screen coming on when in my pocket even though I do have KnockCode on.
Has anyone found a way to adjust the touch screen behavior/sensitivity or found a workaround for this?
Yes, the accidental selecting of things when scrolling is a bit annoying. Maybe it will get tweaked in an update. For now I'm just changing my finger habits. Kinda like driving a different vehicle and the breaks are more squishy then my car.

Having the same issue. Do you have a screen protector on?
Yes. See OP. I've gotten used to it to some extent, however there are still some times that it's a hassle. I hope when they push out an update there is an option to adjust the sensitivity.
