This is something that sort of makes me nuts. I have owned the G2, G4 and now the G5. On the 2 and 4 the screen could scroll all pages and loop around. On the G5 it stops on the last page and I have to go backwards to get back to home screen instead of just continuing on around. Not quite sure if I've worded this correctly as its tough to describe. Anyone have a solution to this or is it just the way it has to be? Thanks for any help.
LG G5 on T mobile.
Settings, Home, Tick allow home screen looping...

I've had issues with the screen since I got the device. Typing on the keyboard, or tapping any buttons, or drawing, the line is very inaccurate where it shows up. In order for it to work I need to press enough to flatten the tip of my finger so the surface area is about a 1cm diameter circle, and the point it makes is random as to what side of the circle it seems to appear on.
I wasn't certain if it was my phone, or me, or what until recently. I bought this generic pogo capacitative stylus (DX sku.23061). I tried it on my phone and it didn't work. I had to push down extremely hard to get any response, so much I was worried about scratching the screen. I was just writing the problem off to the stylus, but I just tried that same stylus on my friends HTC Touch Slide. It worked beautifully. No pressure required, just the corner of the stylus and it gets perfect accuracy.
Is this type of thing going to get better going from 1.6 to 2.1? Is it just a **** phone? Did I get a lemon? It's hard to simply tap a single icon on the home screen without the one next to it being tapped instead.
Yeah, I tried a stylus too and it was useless for me on the Zio, bit I do not know if that will change with the update

I wouldn't imagine it would change much from an update. Capacitive is mechanical, and is only as good as the screen itself.
My phone has zero issues with the touchscreen display. calibration is bang on (within 1mm).
I'd suggest to RMA it or swap it out if you have a protection plan-- sounds like there may have been some defective products released.
I'm having the same issue with the touchscreen on this phone. I have been posting in several posts about a few issues I've been having but it seems either i'm posting in the wrong areas or i'm invisible in the post altogether.
I'm new to posts and its all confusing to me, I am slowly learning how to get through them, and i've been reading the hell out of just about every one on here for this stinking junk phone to a point i'm about to take my hammer and smash the thing and just buy a real phone that works.
Sounds like a defective touch screen. Hope you have a warranty or protection plan :-\

BTW
If the general public isn't aware, if you have your device plugged in for charging (USB or AC) your touchscreen will not respond accurately.
I'm not sure why this is, but it's something to be aware of.

I'm still noticing some touch screen issues that were present in the old firmware. For example, I will hit the power button to wake up the phone, and the slide to unlock wont respond until after several attempts. If it does respond right away, it will unlock and then the touch screen becomes completely unresponsive. Happens several times a day to me and this is the second Zio I have had since the phone's launch last year that has done this. Also if I have a screen lock pattern, that will not respond either, but as soon as you touch "Emergency Call" it responds to just that. It will always clear up after a couple tries, but it is very annoying and resetting the phone doesn't help either.
How much memory is free on your phone?

the only thing i have noticed with the lock screen if you halfway unlock it and let go that the unlock slide completely disappears and its only happened once. putting it back to sleep and waking it back up brings it back.
My phone usually runs with 30 to 60 MB of free memory. It's done it before right after a reset I don't believe it has anything to do with memory.
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
I also am running with 60MB free space, I have the XDA app and the 2.3 launcher running.
I wonder if there is any way to increase the available memory, it would definitely do the phone some good. Perhaps a custom rom about 50MB in size would help.

So far I'm diggin the HD, coming from the RAZR it's pretty similar. I'm a tiny bit annoyed by the sensitivity on screen, though... When trying to scroll, it keeps selecting instead of starting my scroll. In Play, when scrolling through my apps it selects when I'm trying to scroll. That's only annoying because Play doesn't keep your progress when scrolling through your list of apps (and mine is a LONG one). Even here in XDA, it keeps trying to thank or quote people I don't want to thank or quote... Lol.
Hopefully an update will come to fix it, or we'll get root and roms soon!
I took the red pill... It's the mAtrix for me...

I sometimes have this issue as well. Sometimes even keyboard gets stuck and over types. Both swift and stock.

The screen seems a little INsensitive, so when I swipe my finger lightly it doesn't register as movement and thinks I tapped instead. Other times, I tap something and it doesn't register until I press harder.
I have a pretty thick screen protector. It seemed to have helped with the screen sensitivity issue.
It like to think you are taping instead of pressing and swiping. It tries to register the swipe as a finger lift for some reason.
anyways, I'm fine with my screen, and as I've said the thick screen protector kinda helps.
Is anyone experiencing touches being registered slightly off target from where you are actually touching the screen? When I enable Settings > Developer Options > "Show touches" and "Pointer location", I see that touches register significantly lower and to the right of where the tip of my finger touches the screen. In the screenshot, you can see that the crosshair and circle are not aligning; the white circle appears to be what is actually registered when using the phone.
This seems like a software/kernel issue. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this yet..it's very annoying!

whoa!! never realise until you mention it.. yea im having that problem too!! im using international version and original made in Taiwan itself.. any custom kernel solve this already??:silly:
I wonder if this is related to the problems people are experiencing using the home key and back key. If touches aren't registering in the right place, surely this could exacerbate an already existing fault with sensitivity of these 'keys'

Have you tried using the calibration tool under Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Advanced -> Calibration tool? Not sure if this would make a difference in your case.
Apparently touching the screen very lightly while using the calibration tool helps capacitive button sensitivity for some people, as well.

That's not changing anything for me. Are you able to confirm whether or not touches are being registered off-target?
i have the same issue
anyone has an ideo to solve this problem?
I almost think that's how it's supposed to be. It's not putting up an X for you to try and touch, it just showing you where you are touching. Now if it was putting up a target for you to try for and it was off that would be different.

It makes sense if they assume that most people are using it one handed with the right hand. You usually would hit the point you are trying to hit a bit low and to the right. But in other cases, you might not.
It's strange. Where the lines intersect is exactly where I touch, so it knows where I am touching. But the circle is always lower right.
Anyone that has received the 1.29 update try this out? Is it fixed? Ive tested this out on other devices and the circle is always where the lines intersect, not like the One.
Happening on mine, too, I just tested it.
It would be one thing if the system weren't reading the coordinates correctly, but it appears that it is.. it's just registering the action off target. That strikes me more as a software/calibration issue. This explains why I've had a hard time hitting very small links on webpages in Firefox.. I'm touching dead on the link, but it's not registering it there.

I don't get this. We've all been using smart phones long enough to know where we're touching the screen and how to do it properly. They shouldn't be trying to compensate for anything, and I hope there's a function somewhere that allows us to recalibrate or turn whatever this is off, so that it simply registers the actions at the exact point of contact.
Do you have the 1.29 update, or an older version?
1.26.502.10. Stock AT&T. Unlocked & rooted, but not ROMd.
mine register where I touch them( 1.29.401.12), yet I feel I am missing more links in the browser than before (but that might be a browser problem, before I used opera mobile)
Hey guys,
I turned on the two developer options and then used a drawing app to confirm where the touches were being registered. It turns out my touches were registering at the intersection of the two lines (which is where I'm actually touching) instead of the circle. Looks like there's really nothing wrong here, other than the way they are displaying that little circle thingy.

I have tested the phone lot , but I haven't noticed this issue. I am even surprised of the touchscreen. I have never seen such a perfectly visible display. I pressed gently and it reacts as normal.
To people with this problem. Did your last phone is Samsung Galaxy? Or have you ever been a longer Samsung user?
I ask cause I have this problem ONLY on Galaxy phones. When I use HTC , even Wildfire It have superior reactions of the touchscreen.
Yeah, even though it seems off, my touches are registering right at the intersection.
Trying to decide between the g2 and the moto x, have a g2 currently. One of the things I have seen touted with active display is that you can just pull it out of your pocket and it will show notifications. One thing I do a lot is check the time on my phone; the question is if I don't have any notifications and pull the phone out of my pocket will activedisplay show me the time or something? or will it only show up if there are waiting notifications. The moto x power button seems pretty small and doesn't have that much travel so seems like it might be a pain to try and hit all the time to check the time.
Thoughts?
Yes, regardless of whether you have notifications or not the screen "turns on" when you pick it up, flip it over our remove it from a pocket... I probably only hit the power button 5 or so tints a day to turn it on and that's mainly from muscle memory... Still use the power button to put it back to sleep on most occasions. Coming from an sgs3 it's no more difficult to press on the moto x.

Hi guys.
I got my moto g from one week and i find an issue in touchscreen. When you put the mobile for example on the bed matress then try to press quickly on for example calculator keys (press key 1 for 20 times quickly). I found that after 4 or 5 presses, the touchscreen not respond and it is slow in response. But when i take the mobile in my hand, the touchscreen working perfect. Did any one faced this issue?
Forget something. When put the phone on the bed, dont touch the mobile by any part of your body, just press wirh one finger. I mean only the top of your finger touch the screen on the bed.
This is the moto x section not moto g
