[Q] Screen sensitivity

I am not sure whether it is my mind playing trick with me or not, but I feel like my phone is less sensitive after I did the hard reset (power+volume down). Sometimes I need to press 2-3 times because the first light tap was not detected.
So is there anyway to increase the sensitivity?

I have the same problem, but no idea that is the hardware or only software problem.....

Fresh owner of this Optimus 2X in France, in our community, frandroid.com, we encounter the same problem , I think this is a software issue.

Did someone already contact LG??

Maybe they should include this into the bug list thread.
May I know were you guys having this problem since it is out of the box? or after reset?

I have the same problem started from day 1 till now

I have the same issue and already thought I'd be the only one having this problem.
I would not say it's a problem with sensitivity, but it feels like the touchscreen goes into some kind of sleepmode where then you need to press a second time, to wake it up.
Continuous touching is no problem. (like when typing rapidly on the keyboard)
This video is not from me, but it shows the problem.
Have a look at 13:28 and 13:37. The reviewer tries to hit the "Ackermann" entry, but the touchscreen does not recognize the touch. At 13:37 the guy has to press another time to get the entry selected.

Yes! The touchscreen is definitely less sensitive than my old HTC Hero, and gets quite frustrating sometimes when a scroll misses the first part of the movement or a click is missed.

just in case, are you guys using 20110218 baseband too?

The same problem here. If I unlock the screen and then tap on any on screen apps, I need to touch again for it to open. Only the first time though, after that it function ok. I think this is a bug and needs to be fixed... I have my pc for double-click.

Yep, count me in. Same problem here. Sometimes screen taps aren't registered. Will do some research later on, but I think it's a software problem. (maybe you have to tap 2x as fast )

Hi,
same problem here!

Potentially a driver issue. A Nexus S user had a similar issue in this thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18431-tuning-driver-to-deal-with-unresponsive-touchscreen/
He managed to tweak the driver and it works fine now. Need to know C++ (I think?) to understand though.

I see, then probably they will fix it on the next update/gingerbread?

Same issue here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem seems to be that the screen has zero tolerance when it comes to tapping and swiping together. If you tap and slide your finger a bit directly after the tap, the tap is ignored. In other words your tap has to be a steady tap when you click on a button or an app. Right on the spot and with no swiping or sliding afterwards. I can't reproduce this on any of my other devices.
Ergo, it seems that the natural tapping I'm used to isn't working on the x2. It seems like I have to adjust my tap. I think that this could in principle be solved with a setting somewhere, because clearly the x2 is capable of registering this in for example a web page.
The great thing of this is that you can safely tap and swipe in the app drawer to scroll up and down or left and right. The downside is that a tap with a little swipe isn't registered at all. I would say that LG has choosen here for a wrong setting.

My personal experience about screen sensivity.. can you confirm if it's the same for your device?
I noticed a strange touch response.. and after some tests, I can say that the touch screen and icons are influenced by the surface where the phone was put!
with the phone in my hands, it's all ok (only sometimes - rare - I need to tap more than once).
If I put the phone over a glass surface (like a glass table) without touching it with both hands, the touch and the icons not respond!! NEVER!
If I put the phone on my scanner the touch screen works ok, but the icons not (or only few and rare taps was detected).!
If I put the phone over my big Onkyo amplifier.. It works like in my hands.. or better!! even without touching with hands.. only with a finger!
Put it back on my glass table.. and all stop working again. If I put a aluminium foil under the phone (between phone and table).. the touch and the icons works again !!
If I put it on the bed.. it don't work.
LG support say that they have tested the phone about this issue after my report.. but no strange response was detected by them. I don't know if they really tested it..
Try it and let me know what you think about!

tested on glass surface, I can press and swipe through pages with a finger without problem.
it is true that my device is not so responsive, but aint reaching that level yet

i read about a similar behaviour on other devices because some devices need a proper grounding for the capacitive screen to work correctly. You can find this problem via google.
Some devices have problem in a car-mounting, for example.
But i think thats not the problem the thread-opener talked about?

Guys I'm looking to get this phone and after reading Engadgets review of the X2 where they mention that the screen is not as sensitive to the touch as other phones I got a bit worried and started googling which lead me here!
Is this true? The screen isn't very sensitive and you have to apply more pressure than other capacitive phones?
I know that the OP is talking about a different issue but I reckon LG will get that sorted out via software update, or at least hope so!
Please do post your experience about the screen sensitivity of the X2 as this is putting me off. I currently have the Motorola Milestone 2 which is very sensitive to the touch even with a screen protector on it.
Cheers

[Q] Touchscreen edge margin

My Note seems unable (or unwilling) to detect touchscreen contact within a relatively small margin of each edge.
Using the 'Pointer location' option in Developer Options, I can see that no matter where along the edge I put my finger, it seems to clamp it to 20px away from the edge. Taking the left edge, for an example, I can see the line tracking my finger up until I hit the margin, and then it will go no further left. It is still detecting the press, though, moving my finger up and down will result in a perfectly straight line being drawn parallel to the edge of the screen.
I'm using PA3 (RC3). Either the problem doesn't exist or I just didn't notice on stock. I only became aware of it when attempting to mess around with the new 'Pie' thing in PA, and realising that it's somewhat difficult for PA to detect the gesture when the edge of the screen isn't registering the touch!
I'd appreciate it if anyone could quickly check whether their Note has the same issue, or if anyone is aware of a way of expanding the area on which touches will be registered.

try the touch screen benchmark app found on the play store to know if you have any problem with the touch screen

I wasn't sure to which app you were referring, but I found one that was able to fairly clearly show the issue. I took a screenshot and attached it to this post.
Each of those lines was drawn from or to the edge of the screen. You can see they all stop significantly before the boundary. The app is ScreenTouchTest, if someone would mind repeating the experiment and seeing what results they get!

Same thing happens with me. However, when using the S-Pen, the boundary gets to the right, ie the screen area increases. Here are two screen shots, one with finger and the other with S-Pen.
P.S: sorry for the big pictures...

Dial *#0*# and do a screen test..

Touch issue

Is it me or does C3 has a weird touch issue where it doesn't respond for a single touch. Like not freezing or anything just skipping a touch. Thought it would get fixed on A.33 update but it didn't. Anyone else?

Yep same here. New Australian version RMX2020 with 3gb/64gb Android 10 Realme UI. You need to hit the icon bang on in the middle or it won't respond. Quite annoying actually. The "Settngs" icon on the second page would quite often flip left back to page one when trying to click on it.....

I have the same issue and went to realme service centre, they reinstalled ota and it doesn't seem to solve the issue. i think its a panel issue

Having Same issue...

Ya, at first I thought it was just a sensitivity problem, but now I think you're spot on the money!
I have the double-tap to turn screen on settings enabled, and sometime it doesn't respond. Then I thought, if it's skipping a touch then maybe I should try triple tap it instead of double tap, and it works!
Same goes for the single tap operation. It really does seems to skip a touch, just sometime but not always. How weird!

Know this is an old thread..... but am having the same issue with an RMX 2020 version that I purchased a couple of days ago in Ecuador. Sometimes the phone takes a firmer tap to get a response, sometimes not. Also does not seem to be confined to any particular portion of the screen so hoping the digitizer isnt going out. For the money to me at least its an impressive phone.

if your hand is near the corner of the screen then it doesn't register the touch

Question Screen unresponsive to taps?

Hi guys!
A few months ago I tried Pixel 6 as a replacement for my ageing OnePlus 5 and in the end had to return it because it was sometimes missing screen taps. Now I have Pixel 7 and guess what? The same thing. It is the most prominent when I want to wake the phone up with a tap (Google changed from double-tap, gods know why) and it often fails. I've tried double-tap, tripple-tap, turning off/on various settings, restarting, updating... The same stuff. There seems to be a lot of talk about it on reddit. The same works flawlessly on my Pixel 5 (and also many other things which are failing on Pixel 7).
Going through discussions it seems this plagues Pixel phones for some time and it seems to be some hardware issue.
Have you encountered the same issue?

My works flawlessly single tap, double tap, doesn't matter but I use nova launcher and Iam rooted

I noticed something similar because my 3 XL worked with the slightest tap. My 7 misses taps if I'm not directly tapping with a full press of my finger. If it's just a brief tip tap it sometimes doesn't work. The strange thing is if I'm tapping something on the screen it shows the touch animation, but it doesn't register the tap, so I have to tap again harder, and then it works. Seeing a setting to increase sensitivity makes me thing Google has the default too low, and hopefully can "fix" it in an update.

Nova Launcher, my favourite app!
Seems like some shortcomings of Pixel 7 can be solved using the root access, however it seems crazy I need to root the phone to get the same functions as on a Samsung or a OnePlus phone :-/

Yes, it is as you describe. But don't hope too much, this behavior about missing already animated taps had been reported for Pixel 6 by many people, but Google seems to ignore it or what, they just don't give a care?

I encountered this issue in the beginning. Try the following and see if it solves your phone being unresponsive to tapping to unlock the device. Go to: Settings>Display>Lock screen and turn off Lift to check phone, turn on Tap to check phone.

Hey, same here sometimes. I got a pretty good but cheap tempered glass screen protector with which FP works 8/10 plus using face unlock. Better touch input option with protector is enabled in settings.

Exactly this happens more often and I had that on my Pixel 6 too which I replaced with a Realme GT2 Pro (no problems with the Realme) but on Pixel 7 now again. Still using three buttons navigation bar, and often the taps don't work there too.
LOL f* Google, can't they get their stuff fixed? I mean the company which codes the OS sucks regarding their flagships more than other OEMs which only adapt the OS. Jesus f* christ.

Question Touchscreen sensitivity issue in games

Hello,
I'm currently on MIUI 14.0.3 EEA version, and i'm facing touchscreen response issue in game.
When there is a control button located in the bottom left edge, the response of the button is bad, i need to do a long press or to press the button 2-3 times to get the action counted.
I have found a fix consisting to move the button away from the edge and then the response is normal but it depends wheter the game allows that or not and it's a bit bothering to do that to get a normal experience.
I wonder if the problem is common or if there is a better fix to solve this kind of problems.
