soory 4 such a novice question but i just cant find this option, how can i decrease the tou?ch screen sensitivity on this thing
There's no setting in android that allows you to do that. I believe that was a feature that was prevalent in the early generation touch screen devices when the touch screens were all capacitive touch screens. If you use a home replacement app, depending on which one, you can adjust the scrolling speed and have the illusion of decreased sensitivity.

you cant with the technology of the screen because it doesnt sense your finger by pressure, it does it by heat
Ok a little disappointing but get n used to it

It's not heat. It's not pressure either though. When you touch the screen, you distort the electromagnetic field. It's a capacitive touch screen.
I am having to press really hard to get the phone to recognize my touch, anyone know of a fix. I thought my phone as starting to lag but its just not recognizing my touch.

As stated above, pressure should have nothing to do with it. Dumb question, but you aren't wearing gloves or anything over your hands are you?

the capacitive buttons on my 3d are ridiculously sensitive! i dont even have to make contact with the glass to make them register as a button press, hovering over them is enough....
its getting rather annoying and im hoping the screen protector i ordered would help it a bit but does anyone else have the same problem?
Nope but I have a zagg on mine... Sometimes it seems I have to press the home button more firmly than others tho

Yup, hovering will sometimes trigger a press.. isn't a big deal to me though.

Yeah. Pretty freaking sensitive for me as well. Can be annoying sometimes.

i noticed it too
Also noticed that sometimes when i press, it senses my finger a bit below where i touch. but maybe it's just a problem i have with my fingers :/
I have the same problem with mine too, and i have a ZAGG on it. It annoys the crap outta me. But what can we do?
even with the screen protector, i still find that hovering will prompt a keystroke. another qualm that i have with the phone is the placement of the sensitive power button up top.. being left handed, i seem to be finding it often by mistake.
That's the one thing I never liked about HTC phones, they love to use capacitive buttons. I prefer a mechanical one that can't so easily accidently be touched.
My capacitive buttons are also very sensitive (just like my power button ). Sometimes it is annoying when I bump/hover over the home key in the middle of what I'm doing. Over all, I think the entire screen is more sensitive than the Evo OG, because there have been a number of times when my screen has registered a touch when I thought I was only hovering.
Maybe there's something like a build.prop value that we can adjust for touch sensitivity when we get rooted.

i hope so too because this hinders regular use quite a bit
The capacitive buttons are overly sensitive with my screen protector on, too. It seems like the buttons have too much juice running to them altogether. (Being too bright and too sensitive.)
On another note; Everyone always talks about their over-sensitive power button, but mine is completely the opposite and hard to find and push sometimes. Especially in the otterbox commuter case, which I'd have to recommend if you have that issue.
Firstly i'd like to apologise if this is a stupidly bad place to ask a question as this is my first post in XDA.
Is there any app that can accurately weigh items using the screen?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
absolutely not.
There are at least two reasons why:
#1 - pretty much all capacitive touchscreens used in phones only recognize that they are either being touched or not, there is no pressure sensitivity. While the technology exists I don't think it has been implemented in any phones and I doubt weighing things will ever be something they are good at. At most they will be only able to recognize light vs hard touches
#2 - ever try using your touchscreen with something other than your finger or a stylus made to work with a capacitive screen? the screen wouldn't recognize just about anything you placed on it.

It uses the gyro. You must use a bag full of air and it doesn't work for things more than a few grams.
I've noticed that the touch screen will sometimes press before I actually touch it. How can I decrease sensitivity. I'm using CleanRom Developer Edition 1.2.
Yes! I've had this same problem too! No answer for you, though.
I believe I've had this all along, on GB, ICS, and a variety of ROMs, so I'm afraid it may be a hardware issue. But, I'm no expert...
Thanks. Definitely no reason to go to the GNexus (Ugghh). I've heard that screen protectors help so I ordered some to try that out.

I have a screen protector and this still happens. I never tried it without a screen protector so I don't know how much of a difference it will make
Surely there is a way to fix this. Maybe in the build.prop?

Strangly im having a very sensitive touchscreen to. Especially when trying to use my keyboard. Ive calibrated as well

Use a screen protector. Helps.
Ordered screen protectors, they come in Monday. This is really the only issue I have with the device. If it's something that the phone just ships with I'm fine with it. If not, I'm wondering if I should return due to a faulty touch sensor.

I have a lcd protector on and it doesnt help at all.
I have set up many rezounds for our company and the strange thing is that this oversensitive behavior you are reporting is happening with completely stock phones as well. I've noticed it with 3 different Rezounds. Very strange behavior indeed. Complete resets of the phones doesn't seem to help. I rooted one and did a complete reflash of the phone and the problem went away. It's almost like the flash went wrong somehow, but very strange to see from a phone that came directly from Verizon brand new.
Personally I like the sensitivity. I would rather a nice light touch be registered then having to mash my finger on the screen. Makes typing easier.

It's not a light touch. I've checked, it sometimes registers just above the touch screen.
I have yet to have the sensitivity be a problem... Maybe yall came from different phones than me
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
My rezound is completely stock/ not rooted/flashed or anything, I've noticed this since the day I got it in Nov. sometimes my fingers can be a few mm above the screen and it registers a touch. sometimes it doesn't bother me but sometimes if my finger is slightly above the search button and it registers it while i'm trying to do something else, it's pretty annoying
Stock, Rooted...
I've never seen this issue. The screen is very sensitive, but not any different from my previous phone (Orig Droid Incredible).

Same. The sensativity is more like the iPhone. I hate to say it, but I loved the iPhone for that. I used to type so fast. Then I got my first android phone and had to slow down because it didn't seem to always register my input. The rezound I can type really fast again.

I agree with this as well. I do notice it's way sensitive. I remember a few times where it registered a touch and I completely swore I never touched the screen. Anyway it doesn't bother me one bit.
I think it's way to sensitive.
Sometimes when I move my finger pass the screen it presses the button. It doesn't happen all the time tho. Just 10% of my typing, which is also happening now.
Thank you for your time.

weird, the default touch sensitivity is normal. may be either its not suiting your taste or your previous mobile is les sensitive.
Feels alright to me, but apparently Gorilla Glass 2 being thinner helps increase sensitivity.

Maybe you're right, as I can from the N8. How ever when I try to touch a specific key ONCE it gives me doubled press. And I think this should not happen.

they said it's like xperia sola floating touch but worse
I suspect batch product replacement coming soon
I've noticed that it's very sensitive too.
On the s2 people were saying the sensitivity is too low. Now ppl are saying its too high...

The OFFICIAL samsung said my hands were dry with caused extra static (in Thailand it's a bit cold and dry despite that it's a rainy season, maybe it's the air-con)
and that they recommended applying Vasline to my hands prior to use... which seemed to be pointless, that's a lil too much of "Design for Humans" don't ya think lol
I wish i could readjust the sensitivity like I could with my Acer Iconia Tab A500
Mine does the ghost pressing too sometimes. It isn't often, but my finger hovering over the display will activate it.

I tried the touchscreen with both latex and vinyl gloves and it works perfectly, so I guess it's really sensitive.
if you think it's very sensitive for you, then you can apply screen guard to reduce the touch screen sensitivity.
Hope this will help you..

already did.. not seems to thick enough it seems
Mine is also too sensitive. I noticed same symptoms like others in this thread after I applied screen protector prom PURO which is really really thick .
On the package it guarantees that it does not reduce touch sensibility... I guess they don't lie
I guess I need to find cheaper one
can you calibrate the screen?
maybe itll help.

I only found gyro calibration and did that. I'm also on rom (Omega - ICS) but did not see anything on stock either. I remember on SGS2 there was option to calibrate where you had to touch corners and center.
It's not that annoying, at first I thought that it might be a feature - air touch
Or it might be that my screen protector does the opposite - increase sensibility. In any case I need to get new one because this one is not clear (its a bit matte) and colors don't show up correctly.
Hello everyone,
Seems like LG g2 screen is not responding to nails. Or I'm the only one with defective unit ? Google doesn't answer this question.
ALso i have noticed that screen is not as sensitive as my previous samsung galaxies... i can always touch the screen very gently so it won't respond. It is a not too big deal for me, but it's interesting.
I have tried this with screen protector and without.
Your comments ?
Cut your nails. It gives better hygiene.

Hello.
You're right about the G2 not responding to nails. It has a capacitive touchscreen which basically means that when you touch the screen with your finger, your fingertip, which has an electric charge, disturbs the electrostatic field of your screen and thats what your phone interprets as an input.
Now your nail, which is made of keratine, can conduct an electrical charge but it's highly dependent on the water content of the nail, but a more important factor is the contact area between the screen and the nail. Since a nail touching a screen only touches very few mm^2 and a fingertip often touches about 0.5 cm^2 there's a big difference in the electrical charge that is transferred. Thats also the reason why if you touch the screen very gently you wont get a response either.
Final note: some phones require less electrical current to distort their electrostatic field thus registering a touch easier, and some phones actually have a resistive layer so you can use your phone with gloves. It's just not this phone.
I hope this helps.

Actually the screen is made very sensitive so that it can work with gloves on, nailbed, pen tip, pocket multi tools, knives!
U better return it and ask to replace the unit!

Yes Im also reading articles that G2 should work with nails and gloves on. Maybe it depends on carrier ?
Any other thoughts ? Does anybody having issues with screen not working using fingernails ?
I assume for girl with long nails this phone would not be usable :fingers-crossed:
you must have wet fingernail to response
Mine doesn't work with fingernails?

Knock on put the touch display always on, so the voltage is very low on LG g2, not like Samsung phone wich is more reactive, even with glows
