it started out a few days ago. I started to feel like my touchscreen is not as responsive as usual.
I noticed numerous times it felt like my swipes as well as my touch (say when i want to open a specific app) are not being registered properly. Now the way i recall my samsung galaxy s, it would register a click sometimes even when you're hovering about 0.5mm to 1mm above it. So with that in mind, i thought i would try to do that with my one x. I would hover my hand slightly above it, and no response - NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM JUST YET.
Anyways, seeing as hovering over it doesn't work (which is not a problem imo) i would proceed to touching the screen, however i touch it without applying any pressure, i could even swipe and it WOULD NOT switch over to the next screen. I could touch the screen and the application would NOT register my fingers. However, after applying more pressure it suddenly gets registered. Even though the pressure i have to apply is just slight, Isn't this how a resistive touchscreen is supposed to behave and not a captivate touchscreen?
I thought that's because of my screen protector, i took it off and gave it 2~3 days and the issue remained.
Now my question(maybe even a favor) to you guys is as follows.
1. Try to click on an app, however, do this without applying any pressure, simply touching your touchscreen (might have to do this slowly). Does it respond? Or is it the same with with you as it is with me?
2. Please report in on the behavior of your touchscreen.
NOTE: I just want to know if my touchscreen is behaving normally or not. I do recall a better experience, actually if anything i was very happy with my one x's screen and this is simply annoying. Espeically when i have it on a soft surface and i push my screen, normally a soft surface tends to bulge in upon pressure.
It could take three touches for that freaking thing to register it if my phone is lying on a pullover or whatever else that's soft. Lately i'm not really happy with how webpages scroll up or down either, feels as if my swipes are lightly registered thus a sluggish movement upward or downward.. I hope this is not yet another issue that i have to deal with because my unit already had a wifi defect and, despite being happy with this device it might be my last. It's just too troublesome. Unless my stupid provider replaces it but i could keep dreaming.

0,5 - 1mm ? do you even realize how big this distance is? No way the SGS would register that... or react on that. (I come from that phone too)
with that in mind, my One X is much more responsive as the SGS or any other phone I had.
And no, I do not need to press. As the slightest pressure gives my screen ripples. not possible.
Either try another kernel if you have some custom one, I know there was some problems with those sometimes. Or factory reset if you are stock and then return it?

Well maybe i exaggerated the hovering part but within a certain (very small distance, probably 0,2 maybe even 0,1 the screen would react).
I've been from viper, to jelly bean roms, to ARHD and Maximus. Same thing.
edit: actually, 0,5 mm is hardly anything if you look at how big a mm is and put and reduce the distance by 50%, anyway that's not the discussion http://www.meb.uni-bonn.de/Cancernet/Media/CDR0000578121.jpg
Hover taps/clicks happen, I'm sure I haven't touched the screen a couple of times but it responded to what I wanted to do. Anyways, try this app called touchscreen test to confirm your issue.

So you are implying that hovering touch seems to work on your Hox?
Hovering also works with my HOX. And I don't have to use any pressure, hardly even touch the screen.

Same here. Hardly touching screen and still responds. I'm running stock 1.29.

Tell them the digitizer is faulty and needs to be changed.

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"

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.
Simple problem, I live in the UK so the weather isn't exactly brain freezing but at 3 degree Celsius or below the screen just doesn't want to respond AT ALL, the phone is perfectly fine because buttons work and such it's just the touch screen and the touch buttons also the weirdest thing is after restarting the phone when this occurs the screen magically works again however after few minutes of cold weather will disable the touch capabilities. Should I claim on warranty? I really cant be arsed for 2 weeks without my phone, I'm quite addicted to it.
Also I have smashed the screen in the past and had it replaced by HTC if that matters however I can't tell if this issue existed before that because it wasn't exactly cold then. Please give me some good advice?
AW: [Q] HTC One X touch screen not working in cold weather.
What's your job? I mean where do you work? While I was working for an art exhibition, my fingertips skinlayer got really really thick because I did worked with pug
After that, touchscreens didn't respond to my fingers at all

I'm a college student, my finger tips are definitely soft lmao! No that's not the issue because after restarting the phone everything is fine and my hands are rather warm, I actually thought about that and even tried licking the screen, didn't work.

Dude!....never ever lick a screen ! It has more backteria on it than a toilet seat of a highway rest! Anyways, send it back to warranty would be an idea. If it comes to software, you'll most propably get help, but if it comes to hardware, things will get difficult.

And regarding topic: I succesfully used my HOX at minus 22 celsius the other day so plus 3 shouldn't be any issue.

I truly don't care, the less bacteria we intake the weaker we are against them
I actually watched that video, I'm subscribed to vsauce
So I should send it off then? Will HTC have any issues with doing this within the warranty? I assume it's their fault I did notice that in the dark the bottom of the screen reveals a little gap where the light from the screen/buttons is shining through, it's not impractical just a little bit annoying and makes it seem like they didn't fit the screen 100% properly also the right edge of the screen seems to be darker, for example if I open something white on the screen it seems as if there was a shadow coming from the right edge of the screen.
Posting an update for future reference. The device has been sent of to HTC on the 18th of Feb and returned today however there was no email or nothing informing me about return of the device, not only that they haven't included any document stating what has been done to the phone if anything has been done at all (except of a hard reset ofc). The gap at the bottom is still there and light shines through it as much as ever, the device came completely dead without any charge what so ever, I have now stuck it in the freezer and after 20 minutes I will check on it to see if my issue still persists, if it does then HTC is just a joke of a company.
At least the haven't charged me... yet. Will post an update.
In general this phone is a little hard to do things with one hand. But I've noticed that if I sometimes barely graze the screen and it starts doing things I didn't intend to. I also noticed the opposite issue where sometimes the screen has a hard time responding to something i try to touch.
I remember distinctly the nexus one doing wacky things, but that screen was also 100x worse and buggy.

Apparently the M8 has the lowest response time of any phone out today, and also you can operate the screen without touching it, around half a mil from the screen which is why it acts up.
Not sure if there's anything that can be done

Yes I guess even the bezel picks up your touches, that's very annoying. Why do HTC screens always suck! They need to do a better job with that.
I wonder whether this issue exists only between me and my note7..
Very often I'd have to press same thing (be it button, link, key) an extra time for the phone to actually act on it. At first thought it had to do with the way I was holding the curved screen but it does the same when it's sitting on the table for instance. Kinda reminds me of the nexus 7 similar issues a few years back.
I have tested the touchscreen already and all seems to be fine, in a test environment that is all touches register ok.
So what do you think about this, could it be just some fancy lag?

I'm having a similar experience with mine. It's not particularly annoying, but it's noticeable on a regular basis. I feel like Nova is also behaving a little differently (slightly off with accuracy when I drop icons) which I thought might be related.
I have seen the same issue. Every once in a while I have to re-select a link or touch an option one more time to get it to register. Hopefully this is just first release bugs that eventually get worked out. Not a big deal, but a tad annoying.
same experience here... encountering keyboard lag as well....
Yep ... I can confirm getting this on mine. I thought it was the screen protector at first
Could anyone confirm that the touchscreen input is lagging? I'm using the app 'art canvas' with the spen and when drawing a line around the screen it misses parts of the line, try it and please let me know if it's supposed to act that way.

The pen is the worst here. I even removed the first screen protector still have touch registration issues. Interestingly test apps such as YAMTT work fine. Did you also test the touchscreen with a similar app?

Oh look, another thread that I have to make, as you can see, I am really enjoying this phone right now. Anyways here is the thing: Download any multitouch testing app(I used Yet Another Multitouch Test). Put your phone on a flat surface. Try to use more than 2 fingers without issues. In my case, trying this will make it not detect atleast one finger properly. Now press and hold the aluminium frame of your phone. Multitouch is now fine. While I'm holding a phone in my hand, multitouch also works fine, so this is only an issue when i put the phone on a desk or bed. Could it be that digitizer isn't connected properly? Or could it be something else? Do you also have such issues with this phone? What could be done to fix this?
Update: after more testing i have come to the conclusion that the reason for such issues is aluminium frame of the phone. Weird, I would like to know if this can be fixed in any way tho
Definitely a hardware issue/fault. The best thing to do for now is to send/bring the phone to Sony for repairs. If you hadn't unlocked your bootloader and your phone is within its warranty period then it should be covered by warranty but if not, just be prepared to spend, hopefully its just the frame and the digitizer not being aligned and not the actual screen itself with the problem
Godspeed
Alright, but have you tried this out? Because I've seen a lot of Z1/Z1 compact threads that describe similar issue, I wonder if all devices are faulty like that or just some?
I managed to get to 5 fingers. Couldn't fit more since the screen doesn't detect if fingers are to close to each other so I had to keep them a bit spread out.
Yea but, it's not about just recognizing fingers, can you try drawing 3 straight lines with 3 fingers when not holding a phone? This is where the issues usually start, trying to swipe while not holding aluminium frame of a phone
I've just tried it with a multi touch tester app and it's absolutely as you've described. Additionally I've had some issues with phantom touches lately so maybe it's somehow related to this.
please do let me know if you somehow find out the cause of this or find any 'solutions'
Will do. I've heard people have had their screens replaced for this and issue still persisted, so I wonder if it depends on screen manafacturer. You see, Z1/Z1 compact models are shipped with either JDI screen or AUO screen. I have JDI. Of course, we will need some people here with AUO screen to do the testing.
mine is AUO
Then i don't know
