A while ago I noticed that the calculator app I had loaded didn't recognise my touch presses on the lower numbers on the display.
Wasn't particularly bothered about this at the time and forgot about it, but today needed to use the numerical keypad for the phone app and the bottom row wasn't responding to finger touches, and I needed the 0 and #
To get around this I put the watch on the charger, that rotates the display, and using the watch while still on the charger, the numerical keypad works fine, the touches required are on a different area of the display.
The touches on the display work fine for other apps in the same area of the screen, which would indicate the screen touch sensitivity is okay....?

I recently purchased a Vogue off of ebay and tried out the SD Card version of Android running Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2. I wanted to do this before installing to NAND to try it out. After trying it out for a bit I noticed that the touchscreen is not that sensitive.
For example, if I try to swipe with my finger from left to right to get to the second home screen it requires me to swipe from the very edge of the device (if I don't do a swipe across the whole screen it doesn't work well) and push down hard (as compared to another newer device like the iPod Touch). Tapping the screen works fine. Other things I noticed about the screen is it isn't easy to view it at an angle and pressing down with my finger sometimes changes the color of the area immediately around the finger.
My question is whether the device is faulty (in which case I will try to return it to the seller) or is that just the nature of this older touch screen. Or maybe it has to do with the fact that it is installed to SD so it is slower to respond?
no there is nothing wrong with your phone.. the vogue uses a resistive touch screen witch requires a little more pressure than say the itouch or any new touch screen device... they have a capacitive touch screen witch uses electric currents i think.. i prefer a capacitive. but try the screen calibration app and press lightly that might fix your problem
and you shouldn't press very hard they could really mess up your screen
Try using your fingernail instead of pressing harder.

I've got a Liquid E, and noticed a very annoying issue:
When the phone is sitting on a table, or on a car holder, or anywhere that is not a hand, some 30 seconds later the 4 SoftKeys (Home, Search, Back, Menu) stop working at all, although the screen is responding to touch as it should.
If I pickup the phone and hold it with my and touching the lower part on the back (not the battery cover) the keys start reacting to touch again.
I've tried with the proximity sensor on and off and it never worked. I'm using the stock ROM, so, no custom ROM bugs to consider.
Do your Liquids do the same?
I have a Liquid (not E) with 2.1, and I have that problem sometimes (I don't know if after 30 sec and always).
Found the problem:
-Acer calls the 4 Sof-Keys "Numeric Keypad". A numeric keypad with any numbers I thought the real "Numeric Keypad" on the phone dialer, that one has numbers...
- It's sensitivity by default is set to "Low", increasing it to "High" solved the problem, the keys no work correctly on hand, on a table and on the car holder.
Some parts on the top is not responsive but it outputs the screen normally. It sometimes doesnt detect some touches(shown in screenshot). Sometimes when Im texting, status bar automatically opens. I once screen recorded while i opened the sketch app and 3 touches was printed. And i did not do the touches so there was a random touches the happened(shown in the 2nd screenshot).
Do you think that I have a problem with the phone itself? Or some firmware bugs?
I think I had a system update recently? since then when I make phone calls, as soon as it starts to dial the screen goes blank. This means I can't hang up, if I am trying to check my voice mail I can't see / operate the touch pad dial buttons, if I have a menu selection - I don't have a keypad onscreen to type any selections?
I can see the ongoing call status at the top of the screen after going through screen off, screen on cycles, but trying to access that part of the system takes me straight back to a blank screen?
I've had the phone for several months, its behaved fine - please, has something gone wrong, is there a setting I need to change?

What you describe is the typical malfunctioning of front sensor. Check if it is covered by the screen protector or try any GPlay program that can check sensors on your phone.
I find this very annoying, I turned on the Show Touches on Dev Mode, and when playing intense game (PUBG, Mobile Legends etc) there are detected touches but not registered.
What I mean is, when I tap on a button (take for example the fire button to fire your weapon) and lift my fingers up I can see the white dots (Show Touches on Dev Mode) but it doesn't click the button (not Registering the touch).
Anyone else ever seen this? I find this very very annoying.
For the sake of clarity: I use no screen protectors which mean it is pure hand to glass contact. I use all default settings (factory reset). All software are supplied by Samsung and I haven't done anything to them. All hardware parts are stock.
And somehow I noticed this: It won't register only if my other finger are controlling the D-pad which is on the left bottom side of the screen, meanwhile the fire button is on the far right screen.
