Stock N7 16GB
I have always thought the touchscreen on my N7 was a bit jittery, but now I have come to realize the problem is far worse than I originally thought. For example:
Load a webpage
Place a finger on center of screen
Rest palm or other finger on left edge of screen
Display starts moving/pinch scaling like crazy, even if I remove any touch from left side of screen and keep only 1 finger on center screen.
Almost all the time the touch on my N7 jitters/moves around a bit which causes issues with swiping. If I place 1 finger in the middle of a web page, it moves around slightly even if my finger isn't moving.
I think for these reasons I will be returning this tablet.

I'm having issues with the screen too. For me, it seems worst when it boots up. my example was playing Angry Birds Space - I can't control it, then suddenly it releases and (if a bird with an action) performs the action. any known fixes?
i had same problem think i found a fix
I had same problems with my nexus 7 but it started after i installed dead triger i also noticed tablet dosint come with stock file manager so i installed the same game on my asus tf300 and noticed same issues on my nexus i did a factory reset and cant make screen get any dead spots hope this helps you out
I had that once the other day. I had to reboot it was so bad. Almost felt like the tablet was laggy. Hasn't happened again though.
I do have Dead Trigger installed as well, but I haven't played it in a long time.

Is anyone else here having issues with screen sensitivity on the Nook Color? I'm running CM7 on SD card (Sandisk 16GB Class 4) and it appears to be running fairly well. My only issue is oftentimes, it senses taps when I'm just scrolling and the bottom left corner of the screen where the options/settings/menu icon is located is particularly difficult to tap. I usually have to try tapping the area 2~4 times before the menu will open. Drag and drop operations are also particularly painful.
Help, please?

Try cleaning your screen, the Nook has a very sensitive screen and can be victim to ghost touches from old finger prints and the like.
i use this app to recalibrate my nook. its super easy to use and its free

I had similar problems with nightly 130's (forget the original one I had). After about 5 minutes of use it would start to randomly spazz out and tap the screen out of no-where. The only fix was to put it to sleep then wake it up again, then it would do it again 5 minutes later.
I upgraded to the latest nightly earlier today and now it is as smooth as butter and I have no problems at all. I used 164 if your interested.

i grabbed this last week and its a lot more accurate in the corners, edges of the screen. i used to touch 5 to 6 times on the "share" button in the browser for google reader mobile. after running the app, i can do it in 1 to 2 times now.
i keep a screen cleaner (eye glass micro fibre rag) in the bag with my nook, i typically have to clean the screen 2-3 times a day b/c "finger prints" starts to distract me too much, not b/c of mistaken touches.
i did have a problem 2 weeks ago where touching was fine, but the keyboard, (both built-in and swype) in both orientations were going crazy, i would hit one letter and it would hit 20+ random characters. i rebooted twice and wiped the screen 2-3 times and it hasnt happened again.
oh, and i have one of these on my screen, since the 3rd day i had my nook

This is probably not it, but a lot of Nook Colors have issues with the touch screen when charging. If mine is plugged in, its pretty much unusable for anything that relies on a working touch screen.

good, im glad this is helping. I think i had read somewhere, don't remember where saying that if you cover or flip over the nook after hitting the calibrate button it can help even more. not sure if this is true or not but give it a try, its what i do when i recalibrate my screen
I recently played a game simultaneously with my cousin (to see who was the better gamer of course) on my touchpad while he started the level the exact same time on his ipad. Everything was great but then when I saw him navigating through things, it seemed much more responsive. Like as he swiped (not just on his game screen but on other things like web browsers) the screen would be just as fast. Scrolling on a browser, his finger and the movement of the screen seemed 1:1 while on the touchpad there was a noticeable lag or rubber band like effect where I would move my finger quickly and then the screen would try to keep up.
Is there any way to make my screen as responsive or is this just one of the draw backs to having android on a non android device. I found that the responsiveness is there when I am on WebOS when I tried to test out to see what was so "off"
I first noticed this on a running game where you have to hold down either the left or right side of the screen to move in that direction. It would usually register the first press, but not that I had held my finger down so I wasnt moving properly. I thought this was due to the game it's self rather than my phone.
I've just downloaded Naugh where you have to rotate the screen by touching either side of the phone, and again the same issue. It's really unresponsive - It will recognise the tap but not that i've held it, it will stop working. Occasionaly this will also happen when scrolling a page.
I did a quick google search and found that the Z1 had this issue, but havent found a fix.
Has anyone else experienced this? Or if not, any suggestions on figuring out whats wrong?
Edit: I recorded a video of exactly what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW2gCWpThWc
I don't know if my problem with my screen is related to yours, but i'm experiencing some problems as well.
On the picture i attached in this post is a picture taken of my screen with a black background.
In the middle of the screen there is a slight discolouring, and in this particular spot the touch screen is very unresponsive, i'm especially noticing this when playing candy crush, making it almost impossible to swap the two candies in this particular spot
Both of these sound a bit like my problem was at first, but mine quickly got worse (in hours) and then I found the hairline crack in the screen.
Bottom corner and not in a part of the screen that displays anything - just the 'glass' front at the bottom - but a third of the screen near the middle doesn't respond to touch.
It gradually got worse over a couple of hours until it stopped responding altogether.
I've had the Motorola moto g 2nd gen for nearly 2 weeks now. I came from a Sony xperia S which I've had since it's launch in 2012.
I love this phone as it's really fast and the interface is really fluid compared to my xperia S.
The problem I have however is that whenever I try to scroll, be it on facebook or on a webpage, the phone thinks I'm clicking instead of actually scrolling. 70% of the time I accidentally click on facebook links or webpage links while my finger was never actually lifted off the screen.
I never had this problem with my sony xperia S. Even though it was slow as hell it still knew whether I was clicking or scrolling. It doesn't matter if I press extremely hard on the screen or lightly. Phone reacts the same way.
Does my phone have a faulty touch screen, or am I just spoiled by my xperia S?
@aolol
Nope, never ever had such problems with mine.
No Scrolling and clicking confusion-issue here
Me thinks somethings wrong with your screen mate. Better get it checked.
And no, the touch response is not supposed to be like that.
I have the same issue and so are several others. Not sure what's causing it.
I also have the same issue, it is really annoying I'd really like to know by what this issue is caused.
I had a screen protector on mine that was causing it, took it off & no more problems. Just a thought...

I Only face this problem whenever my hands are wet with water and still i touch the screen. it clicks where water has left from my hand.
only have this problem when I am not holding the phone (phone on bed/table), it seems the touch screen is not as sensitive as most other phones, on the bright side it also means lower chance of butt dialing (since you need a slide and it is very hard to slide when you are not holding it with your hand..)
Mine does this too - with my finger tip only, near the nail. If I use the flat spot, I don't get so many false touches. I just find it a very sensitive touchscreen.
Hi all,
The LG G4 runs Pokemon Go rather well for the most part, except when you try to throw a ball - the game won't track your finger position very well.
There is a noticeable delay in dragging the pokeball, as to where the game thinks your finger is, compared to where it actually is. You can see this when you perhaps twirl for a curveball throw, or generally move your finger around quickly while holding down a ball to throw it. You'll see a gap develop between your finger position and the ball lagging behind, as if the ball were attached to your finger by a rubber band.
Anyone know any solutions to improve the finger tracking responsiveness when throwing pokeballs?
This issue doesn't happen on the two other devices I've tried, where the ball is very responsive and stays under your finger at all times/speeds of finger movement. Also, this issue can make it impossible to throw the ball very far, because the increased finger speed needed to make the long throw is just ignored by the lagging rubber-band effect that thinks you are making a normal speed/distance throw. This can prevent you from catching certain pokemon like Rapidash, that are positioned very far away.
I have the same problem on my G4.
I've had some success with cooling down the phone, so I wonder if the problem gets worse when the phone is hot, as if the phone throttles the processor used for finger-tracking? The graphics look fine and don't slow down, just how it tracks the finger position and updates the position of the ball by lagging behind if you move (the ball will center on your finger position correctly if you stop or move slowly, it's just that weird rubber band effect).
I've waved my phone like a fan, holding from the bottom and fanning with the top end. People ask "does your phone work as a good fan to keep you cool" and I have to explain that I'm cooling off the phone.
But I'm not even sure if the cooling works all the time, it might just be placebo effect and not actually changing anything.
