Is there a way to adjust the screen sensitivity? My dad just got the 3d and his complaint is the screen is too sensitive . Thanks

A screen protector can help tone it down.
ok thanks for the help. Im gona try and show him how to text easier today
My screen is too sensitive too. You don't even have to touch it to make keys and the capacitive buttons register a touch. This causes my typing precision to be much lower. I've also tested this out with demo phones in the Sprint store and they also have the same issue. Adding a screen protector doesn't help at all. I wish someone would fix this.

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?

Nope, and my old Droid X is working fine.
Am I the only one having really poor touch recognition on my A43? Whether I use a finger or stylus, it often happens--about once in five keystrokes or more--that after releasing the touch on an on-screen keyboard, a different key additionally gets registered, sometimes not even a neighboring key. It is very hard to type in a password.
My touchscreen also has this problem. I'll hit one key and it will add another key somewhere entirely else on the screen. Menus will spaz out when I try and scroll through them.
Oh yeah, remember that problem I was having where strange spots showed up on the screen and I had to get it RMA'd? That came back on my BRAND NEW unit. I'm getting sick of the crappy screen on this otherwise great unit =[ Maybe Archos will just give me a refund and I can spend my funds on an unlocked/off contract phone with similar specs.
Sadly, I think this is a hardware issue. I'm not sure there's anything firmware can do besides ignore half of the inputs. But then, you have a non-responsive issue ...
Have you guys tried to calibrate the screen through SDE?
I have a similar issue with my A101, although it's not as bad as you guys describe - sometimes the screen just won't register my touch at all, mostly in the edges of the screen - sometimes I think it's the calluses on my fingers from playing guitar, sometimes I think it's the horrible screen they gave us....

So does anyone not have this problem with an A43?

You might be having better luck because the A101 has a capacitive screen with multi-touch capabilities. They're known to be more reliable than the resistive screens the 43IT's have.

I have a 43IT, which is why I posted Sorry I wasn't clear. I feel your pain. Also, I suggest using your nail or a stylus, as the pinpoint hardness of either are better than the soft, blob your fingertip makes on the screen sensor array.

I generally use a stylus. The problem is probably due to the way the plastic digitizer flexes which generates ghost movement data on release. A glass digitizer would be much better.
By the way, it is possible to ameliorate the problem slightly in software. I did that in the myKbd app for PalmOS. Basically, you filter out some very rapid motions. It doesn't affect sensitivity in any significant way.
The reason I'd like to know if everyone has this problem is because I'm going to send my A43 in for warranty repairs, and I am wondering if I should include this problem (in addition to the annoying bright 1/4" area on the screen, and the occasional timeouts when writing to internal flash that result in the device hanging).
Hi,
I've noticed that my newly bought EVO 3D's screen is very sensitive, along with the capacitive buttons: Sometimes I just have to get my finger very close to the screen and it gets activated. This is just annoying because some buttons (home and search) are close to the edge and get activated if i hold my fingers from these edges (taking pictures for instance).
Also, if I put my phone on charge then the screen get too much sensitive and everything I type is done twice.
I tried many custom ROMs but the problem didn't go away.
Is that a known problem and if it is how can I fix it?
I have found the same with the capacitive buttons (kept hitting search holding in landscape) but i believe that is normal for this handset. As for the screen it is very responsive but what your describing seems a little over sensitive. Have you tried using a different kernel? I would try backing everything up doing a factory reset and installing fresh see if that helps? but I will say that the screen on the 3vo is far more responsive than my old HD2 so may take some getting used to.
I've tried karma kernel (GSM) and the typing problem is gone. But the capacitive buttons are still too sensitives. Funny that no one found a fix for it

I think its more the actual capactive area that makes a difference some handsets you have to be dead precise whereas on the 3vo you just have to be close. I have gotten used to it now tho. Glad u got the screen working properly now tho!

This issue really needs more attention. I'm guessing seven have been ignoring it because some people thinks its cool that you can activate this screen and buttons without even touching it, but that's not how it should work. It causes problems and drives me crazy.
Same here. I only have to hover my finger to make a selection.
On most other touch screen devices, there is a sensitivity adjustment. My Acer tablet has one. Is there anyway to do that on here? Hidden menus or something? REALLY would like to tone it down a bit,
Try using a screen protector if it really bothers you that much... That is likely the only viable option.
You could try calibrating the screen threw the phone settings option to see if will help with the issue at all

I have tried a screen protector. It's still too sensitive. I can still activate the screen without even touching it even with a screen protector.
mine does the same.. I was going to post a new topic untill i saw this... There must be some l thing that can be done?? im forever hitting the search and home buttons without actually touching the screen!!!

Yep. The touch is sensitive as all hell. Screen protector really helps with this. And keeps your glass streak/scratch free.
I am having issues with my touch screen not taking my input when in landscape. It works when I change to portrait and usually works when switching back to landscape but then stops again. I've noticed this playing angry birds and browsing in IE. Anything I can do to correct this?
edit: I think I found my issue. If i'm touching the bottom area where the capacitive buttons are the screen won't respond. Is this normal?
I find the sensitivity of the screen is less than the Focus. The Focus suffered from bad touch sensitivity if you didn't hold it (like laying it on the bed). If they can get full registry access to the phone, I'll bet the sensitivity is adjustable.

others have mentioned that touching the soft keys even slightly makes the rest of the screen unresponsive.
I don't know why capacitive buttons are so popular... they might be 'cool' but... hardbuttons aren't accidentally activated, they don't mess up the screen and they provide REAL tactile feedback.
Plus you can search for and use hardbuttons when they are out of sight. With my TV and BD player I have to put my face to the buttons with a magnifying class to see the icons because feeling them activates them and they have no backlights :/

They're popular because presumably they cost less than actual buttons, easier to manufacture, and are less likely to break or need maintainence.
The screen's glass is already set up to be capacitive, so extending that down to the "button" area requires virtually no additional cost - they only need 3 tiny LED's underneath, rather than housing full mechanical buttons, with a separate plastic overlays ontop on the buttons.
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
