Hello all,
I purchased an M1 Official Malata Case for my Gtab. I ordered it from it2steve, received it yesterday and it looks and fits great.
One problem...
It now seems that my screen is less responsive. I specifically notice it around the corners and around the right edge (same edge as home keys). Its becoming a problem with ADW as it is difficult to hit the onscreen button to open the program launcher and difficult to hit the Home button located at the top taskbar.
When I take the tablet out of the case there does not seem to be a problem. I have tried recalibrating using the took by gojimi and it does not seem to make a difference. I also have a Skinomi screen protector on, which I do feel had reduced the response already slightly, but it is now much worse with the case. I am also running Vegan 5.11.
Let me know what you think.
Maybe,Magnet will affect the capacitive touch screen.
I have noticed that the right hand side of my screen is a bit less sensitive than the left, but I had not associated that with the use of the case. (I have an m1 case as well). I also remember this being mentioned in another forum by a frequent contributor here.. (the lack of sensitivity, not its associated with the case).
It is a bit annoying to have to hit a button twice (and sometimes messes me up in angry birds) but it is not that severe in my case.

I too have chimed in on a couple of these posts adn I origionally thought it was the case as well, as it just seemed to be in the upper right hand corner. However I still have that issue and noticed last week (when I actually started typing more) that I was having an issue with anothe spot, right around my 'A' key.
I know that this has nothing to do with magnets or the edges of the case as now I'm playing around in the CLIP. I use Gojimi's calibration app but I'm personally leaning more to 'it doesn't like to wake up properly' as it seems to go away when I reboot?
I am pretty sure this is because of the case (to be precise, it is the part that wrap around and infront of the tablet)case.
I have an apad case and had the same problem. My tab has no problem outside of the case.
To solve the problem, I had to cut out the leather part that wrap around the tab and use a piece of velcro to keep the tab inside the case. I had no prolem now.
I am with you steve, that A key gets messed up.. and it does appear to be software, because it appears (my subjective opinion) that you can improve the sensitivity by doing simple things like hiding and exposing the keyboard. It also seems to be different depending on what you are doing.. for example, you would think that if it were a dead spot on the touchscreen, it would interfere with typing when you held it vertically, but it does not seem to.
BTW, is the clip case any good? I am debating whether to buy a dock from you

Maybe its just me but since i've received my M1... which i love. My touch screen seems too sensitive... i'm click stuff when its suppose to be scrolling... I'm going to say its not the case... Because my is doing the exact opposite.
on a side note when i originally got my gtab sensitivity was awful... i switched to the gingerbread rom and it seemed to fix itself.
All the more reason for making the switch once it pops into Beta!
I have one of the M1 cases and the Skinomi screen protector and just did some tests with and without the case. I can not discern any difference at all when the case is on.
The main problem is that your fingertip is less compatible than your finger pad due to calluses, etc... With the case on you cannot get a clean shot at the extreme most corners. You can only hit it with your fingertip. This will vary by person. A construction worker will have a harder time than a surgeon. When you take it out of the case, you are hitting the area square with your whole pad.
Is anybody else still experiencing this with the M1 case? I'm trying to decide between the M1, P3 and the Clip and decreased screen response would be a huge deal breaker for me.

Did you read my response? It is not the case.

Yea, I did but not sure I totally follow what you're saying. Why would a person use only fingertips with a case as opposed to their whole finger pad without one?

The case is not flush against the device. On the edges where it covers the screen there is an ever-so-slight upward curve (just the nature of dealing with this material). So, when you try to press the edge of the screen where it meets the edge of the case your finger is partially blocked by the case. That means that sometimes only the tip of your finger makes contact and sometimes that is not enough to trigger the action you desire. So, I think people were experiencing this occasional malfunction and blaming it on the case. The case is sort-of to blame, but it does not reduce screen sensitivity.
Do that make more sense?

Yea, I think I got it. Thanks for the clarification.
Maybe I'll opt for the Clip since it doesn't seem to cover any of the screen.

I am looking to do the same, eventually. However, even if I didn't buy the M1, I still can't justify $50 for a case. That is almost the price of 2 M1's.
Yea, the price is making me think twice about it.
Howdy all,
Anyone notice their "chrome" trimming is chipping off of the phone? Mine is coming off on the bottom right corner, I'm left handed so the phone right corner rest in my palm. Phone is a year old.
Cheers.
Vibrant on Project-V ROM + Bali Kernel + SOC Theme
Haven't had an issue myself. Do you use a case?
I don't have any chrome trim left lol....cheap paint is all it is.
You'll get over it...heck my screen is shattered and i am using box tape to hold the glass together for about a 2 months now and i don't even notice anymore lol....good thing is i don't worry about getting the screen scratched anymore either
I just noticed the glass screen of my Atrix a not equally put under the bezel, the left hand side is a bit higher (not higher than the bezel but almost) while the right hand side is under the bezel like it should be. I can easily feel this using my hand touching the screen edge or use a paper and put it in the middle of the screen then move it around and while it cannot move out from the right hand side, it can slip out on the left hand side. So is this normal? If not then it should be considered a hardware defect?
My phone is still in the returnable period (just a few days left) so I want to confirm this urgently!
Many thanks!

Not normal. Mine is even all the way round. I would get a replacement if it were me. Also, if you get a replacement from a store, inspect it before you leave with it.
Hello everyone!
I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question but I'll give it a shot.
I bought this TPU case for my Z4 Tablet (been using the same kind with my Samsung phones and tablet) but was very surprised to find that it has an opening in it with no corresponding port so it is leaving the top right corner (same corner where the LED light/status light is located) exposed. Is it a design flaw in the TPU case or did Sony put some antenna or something in that corner that must not be covered up? If someone here knows why they did it like this, please enlighten me.
I attached an image to this post to show what I'm talking about.

I have the same (or a similar) case and I wondered same thing. My best guess is that because this is a pretty tight fitting case, the way you would put it on the tablet is to fit the other three corners first and this one last. This little opening allows you to insert the tablet into the case with little tention. Without this opening you would have to exert an undue pressure on to the tablet frame which can scratch or even dent the corner. So although it exposes a bit of one corner I think this was a compromise they had to make in the design.
PS: the picture you posted seems to be of either the lower right corner or the upper left corner. my guess is that you mirrored the picture before you posted it.
Anyone have any tips on removing the phone from the case safely? I feel like I'm going to launch it across the room when I finally get it to pop out.

Pop from top right corner then top left corner, then pull up
Lol. I hear you. I just squeeze gently on the corners applying just enough force to pop it out slowly. But every time I worry I'm going to shatter the screen. ?
I made this post 30 minutes after getting the phone. Since then I figured out that if you pull the top left corner first then the top right it's extremely easy and nothing feels like it's going to break.
