Is there anyone els experiencing the same "problem" (not sure if it is a problem or can be disabled) sometimes while using the phone not always tho I can scroll through the broser or any other app im using without touching the screen just by hovering my finger over the screen.
Its a feature called air view not a problem.. go to settings-> controls-> air view.. disable it..

I have air view already disabled but it still happens... while browsing sometimes 2 3 times in a week for a of couple seconds but on lockscreen with the watercolour eff most of the time its there.
maybe its a firmware error :/
Thanks anyway
I had got the same thing....actually its not a problem but a feature with which you can use your phone even with gloves on....It basically makes the screen more sensitive and even when you dont touch it and just hover a bit above it,the phone detects the touch...
To disable this goto Setting --> Controls --> Increase Touch senstivity and untick it....
That should solve it....

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?
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
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.
Guys pls help enabling the air view feature is creating some problems .
Wen I use spen to type on keyboard with airview On. Then wo touching the screen the spen types watever letters it waves over.
Spen also selects application automatically wo touching it just by waiving it over the screen.
As soon as I switch off airview the problem ends.
Pls help is anyone facing the same problem.
Or any solutions....??????????
That is not a problem related to airview.
It was a known "bug" on original Note spen and it has definitely been carried over here too.
That s pen sometimes clicks even when it is 4 - 5 mm above the surface.
It is usually when the mobile is....on flat surface afaik...
Its not related to airview
sounds really stupid but reading another thread on here someone said to slam the pen down on its side as to not harm it and it will work perfectly......mine was doing the same thing as yours an it was very frustrating....this fixed it immediately and now it is awesome!!!

Hello everyone! I'm new there and I need some help or orientation please.
Sorry for my weird English, is not my first language! I hope you can understand me
I bought a new Samsung Galaxy s4 mini Duos Latinoamerican version GT-i9192. one month ago, the pone works great and I'm testing all at 100%..First impressions are the battery life is not big. but that's not the problem there.
the first problems I have its a kind of ghost touches, let me explain what happens.
sometimes when I'm writing I press the "Y" letter and the phone shows that I pressed the "Z" for example., both are letters that are too far between they and I dunno why that happens! that don't happen all time and not a lot but sometimes happen! another thing I discovered is if I put one drop of watter on the screen and I touch on the drop the phone shows a continuous touch on the drop of watter, don't matter if I'm not touching the screen at all, keep the touch on the drop til the drop dissapears, is that normal? I tested a drop of water on another phones and nothing happens when I touch the Drop the phone reactions are normal just touch on the place when I touch and stop touching when I'm not touching.
the first thing is this. this only happens 2 times on this first month that I have with the phone.
the touchscreen touchs alone! I'm using the phone, normal, the screen don't have watter and nothing weird just fingers marks on the screen protector, and the screen touch on a specific point alone, and don't stop touching, if I clear the area, turn off/on the screen still touching alone! the first time that this happens its solved alone just turned on /off the screen and stop the touch, the second time don't stop, don't matter if I clear the area or turn off /on the screen. the second time I solved restarting the phone and works normal again.
someone have some interesting for say about that? I dunno if that are normal or not.. I thinking to do a factory reset maybe would help? I never restored or flashed nothing, this my stock rom!
I hope someone can help me, thanks!

Maybe my answer won't help you much but sometimes I have this too (maybe 5-6 times over the last 6 months) - restarting the phone solves the issue.
What you can do is to activate "Show touches" and "show pointer location" in the developer options to see what really happens on the screen. You can activate the developers options by tapping several times on "Build Number" in "Settings -> About Device"

It seems your touch panel is either faulty or requires re-calibration. You probably need to visit the service centre or try their hotline.

Oh, you can try on your phone using a drop of water on the screen and the option to show the touch points active, and say if the screen touch alone. just put one drop off water and move your fingers over the drop, the ghost touch will appear, can u? thanks a lot!

No touch points are shown unless I dip my finger into the water drop. The water wraps round my finger and forms a part of my fingertip.
You could always check the touch sensors and the touch screen version. And you could look into seeing if there is a new version of the touch screen. Type these codes into the dialer to check.
*#*#0842#*#* device test (vibration test and backlight test)
*#*#2663#*#* touch screen version

For the general test menu (including touchscreen panel), the codes should be *＃7353＃ or *#0*#
The codes are not universal across all Samsung devices.

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.

My watch was working perfectly before the 5.1.1 update, but ever since the update, it is slow to wake, unable to swipe away cards from the watch face without opening them, the touch sensitivity is TERRIBLE....have to swipe over and over to get it to register, and for notifications I am unable to select "ALL"...can only select "priority" and "none".
Is anyone else having these problems?
5.1.1 problems are being discussed here if you're not aware:

I noticed that the touch screen seems derpy to me too. Something is definitely weird with the toggle shade thingy. I'm having the same problem with selecting "all". You can get it, but you have to find the exact spot below and to the left and tap frantically like a dozen times. I reccomend using the test app in developer settings and open the touch test. It will display a small grid and it will trace all your touches. Don't worry if it says fail. Just notice whether or not its tracking your finger. To get it to pass you have to turn the lines green by swiping in a certain direction. Mine tracks perfectly so, for me at least, the hardware is fine. Definitely a software issue.

Yesterday I installed the Android M preview on my phone, and so I had to do a reset on my watch. Now all of the touchscreen wonkiness has gone away, and it's working fine!
Before I was unable to get the app list to appear by swiping from the right, but only by tapping once. Also, I couldn't swipe in the center of the screen in the mode selector shade, but only above or below the row of icons. Now that's all working as well.
