Does anyoe else's tab do this
When I scroll in a webpage or app, and I stop scrolling but still have my finger pressed on the screen, the screen starts to shake a little until I move my finger again, is it just my tab or is it a common thing?

the only thing i can suggest is that you are slightly moving your finger, its sensitive so might look like its shaking?

Mine does that too. I wouldn't be too worried about it since it only happens in the web browser for me.

its not defective, its cause your holding your finger on it, especially in a web browser if your zoomed in a page and scroll it might happen.
its just your finger moving a tad bit that the tab senses. Also it might be catching two touch responses from your finger, not the tabs fault. Its the way you use it really.
Dont worry. The tabs touch response is pretty sensitive, which is VERY good thing trust me. Its better to be responsive then crappy on a touch tablet.
Sorry, but yes, it is a problem
I'll respectfully disagree. I have the same issue in my galaxy tab, and I've tried several others, this behavior is found in just a few.
I've made a video and a drawing test to illustrate it. I've put them in a page in a domain that I own.
(XDA still doesn't allo me to paste a link, but the address is fgfaria.com )
I've tried an app called touchscreen booster, which appeared to be appropriate from its description, but didn't notice any difference.
But there is a very intriguing point. It doesn't look like it's a hardware problem. I have installed touch test app, and with that the touch is perfect, no shaking. Also, specifically in youtube app, when scrolling the list of videos, it doesn't happen.
I need to find out why it happens pretty much everywhere, but not on youtube app and touch test apps.
Just to make it even more complex: as you'll see in the picture in the url above, towards to the right edge of the screen the problem is much lighter or doesn't happen.
If someone can help, that would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks,
Fabio
I'm getting this problem too. I get TERRIBLE shakiness when i hold finger input especially in google maps.
I highly doubt it's a hardware issue because this only started happening to me ever since i installed the italian gingerbread rom.
This this GB rom giving anyone else the same issue?
Same problem here
I am also having the same problem, installed an application called "Touchscreen Booster" but no avail.
Strange thing is that the problem seems to not happen on Youtube application.
I also have GB 2.3.3, in my case, the overcome room 2.0.0
One possible solution
Did you guys check the url I've sent? (fgfaria.com)?
Is your problem just like mine? In my case, I had the problem since Froyo 2.2, and still have it (the same way, no change) after an update to 2.2.1.
My GT is not rooted, and I'm waiting for gingerbread to be made available through Kies in Brazil to proceed with the update.
Another interesting thing is that most touch test apps behave normally (no shakiness).
Possible good news: I've found an app in the Market called "ILITEK Touch Utility".
Unfortunately I couldn't use it in my GT as it appears to require the device to be rooted. But it has several features from calibration to screen software reset. Hopefully this may help, specially as it seems to be a software issue.
Let me know if this works for you.

Fabio
mine does EXACTLY the same thing as per your website.
the app does not seem to fix anything...
sigh...
at least good to know someone else is experiencing the same problem.
The problem is app specific
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio
Or the libraries being used in this tutorial include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...
I posted about the same problem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096698
I've included pics from my tests. Notice how before I installed the custom rom, the lines were perfectly smooth. This definitely has something to do with the software. We need to have one of the rom devs look at this and find out what might be the cause.

hi grukko, thanks for your comment!
To me, the most intriguing part is that the behavior happens in some apps, and not in other. I have done a very similar test, which I've published in the address http://fgfaria.com
As you see in the thread, the problem doesn't happen in youtube app, and screen touch test apps and in the list tutorial app I've created following instructions in Android Developers website.
Can you check if your problem is the same checking if youtube doesn't "shake"?
Thanks!

Your test results look similar to mine. I just tried youtube and it does not shake.
New discovery:
It may be a hardware problem (at least in my case). A friend, in another forum noticed that the jittering only happens in screens with a light background, specially white.
This can be quickly tested, by opening a web page that has a white and a black part. Zooming in the white part (so that all background you see is white) and keeping the finger still, the screen starts shaking. If you move to the black part, zoom and keep you finger still, no shake at all.

Fabio
Anyone? There is a solution for Galaxy S (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844216&page=3#). There must be a solution for Galaxy Tab 7 too...
Touch screen issues
Count me as another member of the shaky touch screen club! Anyone found a resolution yet?
No luck yet. Official upgrade to Gingerbread is not yet available in Brazil. I'm waiting for this upgrade to check if things get better, but I'm not so optmistic, as I've seen reports from many people to whom the problem actually started after the upgrade. Does anyone know if the problem has already been officially reported to Samsung?
Nope. Not mine, the tab working flawlessly

i have the same annoying issue on my GT P1000 with gingerbread 2.3.3 Kernel: 2.6.35.7
i also have the vibration on Youtube app and any black background slightly.
Im using an LG G-Slate but since there is no G-Slate forum here and the Xoom is the most popular ill ask here. Is there a way to get apps to work in both landscape positions? As in, the landscape where the front camera is ontop and the landscape where it is on the bottom. I know iPad apps all do this, which makes folio cases great because you can have different angles using different positions and still see the app, but there are very few Android phone/tablet apps that do aside from google books, gmail and the like. Im thinking this may be an in-app thing but if it is possible to do from the tablets setting or something that would be great!
Prime examples of apps that do not work in both landscape positions: all angry birds apps, distraction, bakery/restraunt story, NETFLIX
netflix and angry birds are the two that i would like to see working the most
Thanks in advance!

This has been affecting me as well. I've search a couple times since I've had my xoom but I have never found a solution. The case I have forces me to use the xoom upside down (with the camera at the bottom) if I want to use it to type on a desk. Otherwise, it sits upright for video playing. If there is a way to force an application to always be landscape-upside-down, that would be perfect. I doubt there is such a solution, though. The app that is the most furious for me is the new Dolphin Pad app. The browser itself works in either position, rightside up or upside down, but when you select the settings menu, it forces it to be rightside up. I have tried setting the screen to auto-rotate as well as locking the screen in only upside-down. Unfortunately those couple applications always force the screen to be rightside up no matter what. Almost always it does it with applications that were designed for the phone. Most tablet applications work either way.
I was asking precisely because i have a case coming in the mail that forces me to do the same thing. Its pretty irritating that ill have to hold onto the tablet to type because at the vert. Angle its too high to type. Or i can use a bluetooth keyboard but thats a hassle. And for airplanes and cramped spaces itd be nice to have the low-angle option to watch videos

I never noticed this until now... was reading this thread in dolphin "upside down" just fine, but like you it forced me to flip to get into settings... all other functionality seems OK, so my guess is it is an app Dev fix and not a zoom fix. I haven't noticed this in other apps' but will test a few tonight for the OP and report back.

For me, it's mostly games that force me to turn the xoom around. It also happens with every single poker application I download. Like they are all conspiring against me.

Playing angry birds on a high angle would be difficult... its much better suited for a low angle. It works that way on ipad, why not android?

Anyone have any info? Now that i have the case thr number of apps that work seems even smaller than before...
Sent from HTC Glacier
When I wrote my game for a moment it worked in both landscape positions but then I broke it somehow. I think it is caused by using "landscape" instead of "horizontal" in layout or sth. Will be trying to fix it next week. But it also shows that it depends on the developer unfortunately. So you have to bugger him for every app that doesn't support it.
Man... i doubt any developer would listen to a single person asking for something like that haha it seems like too small an issue for many people to care

i'm using a 9020T
after flashing the stock 4.0.3 OTA, everything is good except browsing some chinese sites(such as www.163.com www.sina.com.cn in desktop mode) with the stock browser
on those sites, when i zoom in to max, the characters will not be clear after several secs(for 5-8 secs most of the times, though sometimes only 2-3 secs ,and sometimes 15+ secs,so i think maybe something is bugged)
and then, after the characters are ok and the redering finished , if zoom out to min again, it will use even more time to show all page than zooming in.
i tried to do a full wipe , unfortunately the issue persists in a newly flashed ics4.0.3 with no google account logged,with almost every setting disabled, even with no sim card
also tested with 3g /edge / wifi.
but what the strange thing is, i have asked some 9023 people but they don't have the issue, and one of my friends using 9020T just got the same as i got.
i've seen some one on xda get the same issue on visiting a non-english site

This update made my phone look better and run smoother.
I have a problem with the browser rendering real websites extremely slow.
When I zoom in, I takes a lot of time for the text to focus.
When I zoom out, I see the tile for about 30 seconds until I see the other parts of the website.
For other problem (like FB) I can say this:
Not all apps are adjusted for ICS so the battery problem may be because of an app taking all the battery (if it requests services from the androis os thread you might not notice it an app problem)
For problems with the facebook app - delete the cache and app data in the application setting menu
Update: I found that the browser slowing down when going into Hebrew web sites in desktop mode. English sites render a lot faster

Damn haha. I saw bold white header and thought its new. Didnt look time.
I have to use facebook for my job. When i go through my newsfeeds, pictures that are posted by friends or followers are very small on the moblie site... About the size of profile pics. If i click on the pic, it will open the post and it's still just as small. I can click view full size to actually see the picture. Unless i go through this process i can't really see the pic. The rest of the site looks normal. It is happening with all browsers. This didnt happen with my droid x, droid razr max hd or droid x 1st gen. If i go to the desktop site, pictures are normal size. Any help would be great! I attached a pic to show you what i'm talking about. Thanks.
I have the same problem. Anyone ever come up with a solution?
Use FB app or a different browser. Works fine for me on Chrome and in FB app. Possibly a browser setting to conserve data?
I think it might have something to do with Facebook mistaking the new 1080p Moto X for the old 720p Moto X and delivering smaller images. I've reported it to them with some screenshots, but don't expect it to get fixed.
Posted about this a week or so ago. The error happens in Chrome but not Firefox on Lollipop, but not KitKat. One suggestion that was given & actually works is to go to the facebook mobile site & then choose the option to request the desktop site. It'll refresh the mobile site & show the bigger images.
I doubt it's something with facebook itself because it works normally in Chrome on KitKat & only started happening when I upgraded to Lollipop.

Hi,
I experience a certain unsharpness/blurriness with some apps. One of them is the stock browser app.
When I surf to google.com and search for sth. in 4/5 times result "cards" are blurry, while everything else (address or tool bar of the browser) stay sharp.
Does this have something to do with DPI settings? I came across some threads where ppl were discussing about that and changing it.
I don't either what causes it nor how to fix it. Did you guys experience that too?
// I'm using Mi-Globe Rom.
Best regards!
I found the cause of the issue:
Setting "User agent" to "Android" results in blurry view on some websites. Setting it to "iPhone" fixes it, but when long pressing a search result, the whole screen gets blue...
I'll have to live with that :angel:
