So I had to turn off the OUYA for about a month for some renovations and last night turned it back on.
I was excited and happy to see 2 system updates come down.
For some reason though after the updates both my controllers touch pads do not work
They are super sensitive and no matter were I run my thumb it just decides it wants to go all the way to the bottom left regardless.
Very annoying. Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks
Never had this problem before, but may be if you take it apart and change the batteries or something. I know this sounds lame but sometimes that helps. You can also try re-syncing the controller from start...

After the sprint service reset my phone and killed my calender, I got an automated message asking if my problem was resolved. Well then I pulled over and brang up the dialing pad on the screen and started trying to press the numbers but as with 90% of the time they do not work. I started licking my fingers and pressing on the display and started *****ing and my 17 year old daughter asks my what I am doing , she than says why don't you calibrate my display. That would be great if there was one! She has. An lg touch and hers has one but mine don't she asks? Now I need to know how to make mine work before I poke my finger through the screen. I can't even hang up the phone 50% of the time. Is there a secret way to use this touch screen or do I just have to use the right finger and licking my fingers to make it work just ain't right.
Capacitive touch screens, do not need to be calibrated, unlike their cheaper cousins, and if you are having accuracy issues you need to either Odin the phone or bring it to Sprint and let them do it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing
Licking your fingers?!? That's totally unnecessary good sir/ma'am. Capacitive screens work by picking up the electrical charge that we have in our bodies. So when we touch the screen, that charge is sent to the display, the sensor and cpu do their thing and figure out where the screen was pressed. That's why you can't use the screen with gloves on (like winter gloves). Anyway, it just sounds like the phone is acting wacky.
Have you just tried rebooting to see if that fixed it? Or turning the screen on and off a few times? My phone acts weird on the lock screen sometimes and just turning off the screen fixes it.
There are a few threads here that address accelerometer problems but if the screen is just not picking up your touch, you may want to take it to Sprint.
that would be sir and it is just one of many problems my phone has. I reset it ,sprint reset it, I am crossing my fingers I got a dud . I was suckered onto the shorter waiting list and had the phone since launch day and in the beginning it was told to me by radio shack that android 2.2 was shortly comming and was going to fix all these problems I am having. I love the phone when it is working correctly but now I am just tired of the issues and promisses not being fullfilled. I read the article in the posting and it explaines different kinds of capacitive tec, gut wich one does the epic have. my wifes epic is so sensitive that it senses 1/4 inch away at times. mine is a luck of the draw and her phone is not mine so I dont use hers enough to see if its really better. I *****ed to sprint enough ,and it took this long, that they are sending me a new one. I doubt they are sending me a new one and expect they are sending me a refurbished one to test. I want to make sure its not something like my fingers not having enough energy to sense or cosmic rays are making my page back button go wacky by itself at random when texting or browsing.
Lol, if cosmic rays are bombarding your phone, we all have a lot more to worry about than the responsiveness of your phone! Sounds like you may have just gotten a bad phone. I would be pissed if Sprint tried to give me a refurb phone. There's a command somewhere in the scripting history on the phone that will tell you whether the phone is refurb. I don't know how to do that. I bet someone on this site does though. I guess the bottom line though is that the phone just needs to work.
And to your wife's phone, yes, the phone can be extremely sensitive. Sometimes, I swear that I didn't touch the screen but the screen registers a touch just because my finger was really close to the screen.
Finally, you may want to flash your phone. If you are not comfortable using ODIN or adb, get Sprint to do it. And not just a factory reset through the settings menu. I mean resetting the phone through recovery or download mode. Good luck.
Roughly a week ago I'm laying in bed playing Candy Crush. My girl comes in and ask me to come help her with the pool. I leave Candy Crush up and running, but turn off the screen and slide the phone into my back pocket. I dumped a few chlorine tablets in the pump, and we move the ladder to the other side of the pool (above ground pool). I come back in to finish my game and all of the sudden, S-Voice and Task Manager continuously pop up while I'm trying to play. I ODIN my phone and reset the flash counter getting it ready for warranty replacement, but it stopped afterwards. So of course I write it off a software bug / glitch.
So this past week I would go and put my phone on the charger at night, and wake up the next morning to find that my phone had stopped charging throughout the night. Now sometimes I can't even get it to start charging. I've actually sat there and seen it stop charging, Also, the last time I ODIN my phone, was the last time I was able to get any computer to recognize my phone. I've also had my phone randomly pop up and say that it is "docked" when it's not plugged into anything.
The only part I don't get is in the beginning why it was randomly acting like I was hitting the home button. Is it possible that the charging / data port could cause this type of behavior? I've never used one, or even read about one...but I assume the dock has features / buttons that would also be like hitting the home button. So I'm assuming that it's possible to emulate the home button being pressed through the charging / data port?
Thanks in advance.

Could it have gotten wet at some point? Sounds like that kind of effect, but I'm sure you would have mentioned it...
Maybe the home button got pressed and stuck while in your back pocket?
Can you still return it?

i don't know why people would put the phone in their backpocket. or WHY they even bring their phone when they're helping with the pool.
you didn't state if your phone has a case, if it was a tight sqeeze for your phone when you put it in your back pocket, but chances are, your board is damaged. you COULD try and if they ask, you can alway hope they don't check and just probably replace it. mention that your charging port failed and if they tried to charge it and it didn't work, they MIGHT accept your warranty.
I put it in my back pocket verses my front pocket because it's NOT a tight squeeze. I also carry everything else in my front pockets, keys, lighter, flash drives, ect... Things I wouldn't want pushing against my phone. If I sit down I remove it from my back pocket and sit it in front of me on a table or something. I do have a case and it covers a good portion of the phone, including the charging port, headphone jack, and stylus. The chances that it got wet is slim to none. The reason I took it with me is because I have a very sick family member, and if they happen to call for whatever reason... I don't want to miss that call. Regardless, they did replace it under warranty.
If you are reading this I'm sure you are wondering why would you ever need this. Let me explain....
About 2 months ago, I got the brand new 32gb wife nexus 7 2013. It's such a great machine I couldn't have been happier. Fast forward to 4 (only 4) weeks later. I'm standing at a bus stop I notice something that looks like a hair sticking out of the top of my touchscreen. I pull it and not only does the hair come out but also a time chunk of touchscreen and then the whole screen just cracks from top middle to left middle.. To so I was angry would be an understatement. Now that same weekend I had plans to go away. So I put the nexus back in its box. Went away and tried not to think about it....
On Monday when I got home I took it out of the box so I could take pictures and hopefully get some help from Asus... I was dismayed to find a second crack had appeared starting right at the end of the first crack going down to bottom middle.. Now the touch screen had hardly any working touch at all... After a few weeks of no help at all from Assholes I sorry I mean Asus I just gave up.
Until I tried a bluetooth mouse and suddenly I could use my nexus again. Now it wasn't Perfect but it was use able. So I got the idea to turn my nexus into a tiny notebook. I got a bluetooth keyboard with touch pad and it works great for one little problem. Since the crack, the nexus is showing lots of phantom touches especially when using cool reader so it starts randomly changing pages and chapters... Same with playing movies and anything like Web browsing. ..
So I was wondering if any of you devs or idea people out there new of anyway to either just disable the touchscreen with a code or is it possible to make a toggle so I could turn it off when I'm using the mouse or keypad???? Thanks for any help..
I would imagine there's a way to remove the touchscreen driver, which would render it inoperable. Check the threads on changing that driver out. Heck, you could probably flash a blank drive file over it.
Thanks.
Thanks dude I'll give it a try. But I'm personally not so save as to know how to do that... But still thanks for the advice
Im brand new to HTC products im usually the galaxy guy and the ATT rep convinced me that the ONE M8 would be the way to go today since my S4 got stolen last night ... however i am generally pleased with the device i was wondering if anyone else has issues with the keyboard in portrait orientation. Long story short the HIGHLY used keys on the left side of my keyboard will not recognize my input using my left thumb... i have to literally take my right thumb across the device to input the E, R, T, and sometimes even S keys... is this something I am doing wrong or does anyone else have issues like this ( seems like its almost not sensitive enough to read the input or something i can hit it 100 times with my left thumb and nothing but hit it once with my right and it takes it )... When i turn to landscape to type it seems to do alright but my habits usually keep me in portrait so this is a real irritant if you can imagine. Any thoughts at all or anyone else have a fix for this? Considering returning to the store tomorrow to explain my grievance. Side note... I have tried different keyboards from the play store with the same issue... :crying:
Sounds like a defective left thumb.

Dinstall screen touch test from play, it will show every touch point on you phone. Seems like you have a defective digitizer.

Someone told me that the M8 has a very active screen all the way to the edges... i think ive figured out that its my fat hands that are rolling onto the screen somewhere while trying to type text messages causing the device not to recognize my input. The way i hold the device i guess is the issue because even during calibration it gave me issues with the left sided letters.... so i guess i have to either find a new way to hold the device or get some kind of case to accommodate my fat hands and tight grip on the device .... any tips or tricks on how to hold these things when texting to keep my hands off the screen? I tend to hold the device more in my palms than fingers for safety im a bit clumsy and i think thats the issue.
Anyone else have this happen? It started maybe a couple of days ago. It won't vibrate for anything anymore - not phone calls, not the touch pad to enter my pin, not my keyboard, not when I plug in and unplug the charger. Is this something that's fixable, or do I just have to live with it until I get a new phone?

I have this issue on a brand new fire phone I kept for almost a year that I just started using. For my device the issue is intermittent as I can hit top of the device, forward facing on my palm and vibrate starts working. If you google 'ifixit's' video about this phone, it seems the vibrator motor is on top section of the phone, and probably vibration caused the connection on cable to become loose.
I suggest shake your phone hard, hitting it on your palm at all angles and it might help. I am thinking about opening the phone as there are only two screws that hold the back, and seeing if i can access the vibrator ribbon cable easily to push up/down on it to secure it.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind for future reference. It did eventually start to work again for no apparent reason. I did try hitting it a bit against something to see if that would work. I didn't want to hit it too hard for fear of breaking it. Nothing happened at the time, but as I said, it did eventually start working again. It wasn't a deal breaker or anything. I tend to hang on to tech until it's almost falling apart. I'll probably continue using this phone at least until closer to the end of the year, vibrate or no vibrate.
