I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue. There seems to be a delay or intermittent failure to detect a swipe to scroll.
For example, let's say I want to scroll down and there is a button that I happen to start my swipe on. Sometimes the button will actually get pressed instead of the swipe getting registered. It's really annoying...

I have the same issue on my cowon z2 there is a lag when swiping
I think its B&N's sloppy touch screen driver, I belive there was a group working on fixing not only the lag but also adding 5 finger touch as opposed to only two. I don't think they're working on it right now because pretty Mich everyone is working on finishing the new 3.0 kernel. But I bet work on the touchscreen driver will start up again after the kernels release.

Yep, it turns out that touches do not register until you have swiped more than 4 pixels. That explains a lot. It also probably explains why my touch pen doesn't register very well. Hopefully they can come up with a fix. It is also good to know that I'm nor crazy. B-)

Hey all,
I'm experiencing a strange touchscreen phenomenon. I'm rooted and was previously using xtrSense. Recently I switched to xtrROM and while I LOVE so much about this ROM, I have been experiencing some touchscreen issues that arise with increasing intensity and are making my experience with this phone increasingly frustrating. I seem to encounter dead parts of the screen; consistent areas where the touch screen becomes unresponsive or acts strange.
Examples:
Keyboard - There are consistent letters that just will not recognize when I press them or can only be accessed by starting on one letter and then sliding over the the one I want, e.g. the L and M in landscape, the V, I and caps toggle in portrait. Other things go in and out as well, i.e. the sensitivity of touching one letter. There are times when the keyboard just wont consistently settle on one letter when I try and select one.
Other buttons - I am consistently having issues selecting buttons in gmail, like the OK button on a pop-up window. I have to play the rotate my screen game to get the button to work. Also, the OK button in the window of many SENSE programs, like alarm clock and mail. I press in the area of the button all over and I get nothing, but the CANCEL button right next to it work without fail.
I do have other screwy touch screen issues at times as well, e.g. my home, back, menu buttons won't respond, or will think they're part of what is displayed on the touch screen. I also on occasion have bizarre issue switch the LP dock. It won't find it's home and will constantly shutter between two rows.
The question is, has anyone else experienced this, either with the ROM and/or LauncherPro? I'm going to be re-flashing the ROM, and maybe even loading up some other ROMs to see if that alleviates the issue, but I wanted to first see if before I go through this if anyone has been through it before and can impart some hard-earned knowledge. I've tried to do some digging on the forums but didn't find much of anything.
Any advice would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

I have not had this experience at all. I used to use both xtrSENSE and xtrROM for several months, although I currently use FroShedYo. It frankly sounds like a hardware issue.
Just to eliminate the possibility, you could 1) do a fresh FULL wipe and flash of xtrROM, 2) go back to xtrSENSE or even better restore a nandroid of your xtrSENSE from before and verify if the problem still persists, or 3) try a completely different new ROM just to see what happens.
If the problem still happens on other ROMs, which I'm very sure it will, then you will know it's a hardware issue and if your phone is either still under warranty or you pay for insurance, then I would exchange it for another Eris.
Yeah, I figured as much. Like I said I am going to do some ROM work, but it may come to admitting that the hardware may be going bad.
Thanks for the reply.
PS GO BUCKS!
Hi, thought it was just the go launcher causing this but it looks to be an issue with the phone. Sometimes screen presses don't register, seems a bit random, where pressing harder always work. Seems to me sensitivity has been set a bit to low. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
Just you mate, capacitive screens don't respond to harder presses especially since the S2 has a gorilla glass display, what phone are you coming from?
I know that but it really does work better if my press is harder or more defined if you want to put it that way. I come from a HD2, no issues with that, could be a duff screen.
edit: ok there is something wrong here, now it starting bring down the the notifications bar when i click on some icons, odd behaviour.
wonder if its something to do with my phone being set to 190 density, I will have a play
no joy with density change, think my screen is duff.
seems to be a latency issue with the digitiser, if I do a quick touch, say like i am typing it doesnt register at all when I click an icon, if I click and hold an icon for slightly longer (not long enough to bring up the screen edit it options)it is ok, which is why i suggested that pressing harder made it work, its not the pressure its the time my finger is held against the screen, a sensitivity issue, its like the software is being told to ignore light touches.
Typing texts etc is ok, just seems to be an issue on the desktop and drawer when I am selecting icons.
Hello XDA Community
I recently started having some strange capacative button problems. This did not occur while I was running a no-sense script on top of ARHD.
Almost as soon as I started running bulletproof by xboarder, this problem occurred. I don't really see anyone else running his ROM with this problem.
Occasionally, these buttons work fine as they should and are super responsive. However, when they don't work, I can leave my finger over it for three minutes and nothing would happen. A work-around that only works around 60% of the time is by either
1. locking and unlocking the scree
2. pulling down the notification bar
3. locking and switching to the phone application
4. continually press it and pray to god that it works.
Are my buttons broken or is it just software issues? I'm really concerned because I've been looking VERY forward to ICS. I don't want to get it and still have these problems occurring. Please help?
***Nevermind This post. I figured out why this is happening. It was becuase 'use vertical swip to change to symbols' was ticked and apparently just a micron swipe is trigging this on my phone, i type too fast for this option, Turning it off has seemed to fix my problem.****
This is a wierd topic i'm sure, I'm wondering if anyone else ever gets ghost hits on their screen when typing with the on screen keyboard.
I use the regular built in keyboard, no custom rom, no root, nothing, and it seems like 1 out of every 3 or 4 messages i'm typing my keyboard will randomly switch to the symbols, its annoying as hell and I cant figure it out.
You might think "He's probably hitting the key while typing" but its in the lower left corner, and sometimes it will happen when my left hand isn't even typing, i'll be going to hit the I key with my right thumb and BAM i'm in symbols now... I dont know if its exactly the same key every time I cant seem to quite reproduce the problem, it just randomly happens and its irritating.
I'm wondering if there could be some kind of link to the screen protector causing this or not? It's a clearvue screen protector.. I've also noticed when playing around with the screen, that sometimes I can get my fingre sooo close that it actually detects a response, and my finger hasn't even touched the screen yet! IS there some sensitivity thing i can adjust or something? cuz i dont know whats up with this wierdness...
Anyone else?
Hi all, i received my Verizon Galaxy Edge on friday and the phone is perfect, but i'm having a issue. I've looked everywhere to see if others are having the same issue as me but nothing, zip, nada.
The issue im having is with the touch screen, lets just say i'm texting, i normally keep my left thumb near the volume down button, kinda touching the edge screen but not really much, well im texting and sometimes i dont have to be pressing the keyboard, but its the issue with the left edge screen, it's making it press in the center where my thumb would be. i've turned on to show my input presses and all that and its confirmed the center of the screen touch input when i'm only touching the edge. any help or issues? does this sound more of a hardware defect or a software defect?
This is weird. I'm kinda having the same problem, but not "frequently". I wonder if other people do. I think it has to do with our palm/fingers accidentally for a short period of time so it registers as a touch, then if you were already touching somewhere else then it'd mess up and register the touch in a random place, but I'm not sure. For me it isn't in the centre but it's annoying when it happens.
Well its not all the time dead center, but yeah its annoying. We might have same issue
an update, today i was typing on facebook and i noticed my right thumb was kind of near the L key but it was recognizing presses with my other hand without touching the screen (heat presses) tried to get the video but it went back to normal 5 seconds after the video, will record when it happens again.
