[Q] Touchpoint Vodafone Smart 3/Alcatel 975 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems I have a problem with my multitouch screen. I dont know if it's a factory fault or software related and if it can be fixed.
In the first picture you can see what happens if i'm holding 2 fingers on each side of the phone. The touchpoint sees that it's in the middle. The second image you can see where i'm holding my fingers and it's working correctly. This thing is bothering me like hell becouse i cant type with "two hands" if i'm typing faster the device will show me the letter between my fingers not the one that i'm pressing. Who is guilty for this, the screen or software?

Tried a factory reset with no luck. I guess it remains to be sent to warranty

I've noticed this with the smart iii its like not quite 2 touch more like 1.5 touch if your fingers are to close together on the screen the phone only registers one touch could be a faulty digitzer or crappy programming or generally a naff touch screen.

[Q] Touchscreen problem

Hi all! I have a brand new LG Optimus One, but I think it has a problem. When I tap on the screen or write a message and tap on one letter, sometimes the screen respond 2-3 or more taps (want to write "word", but when i pres the "D" it goes "wordddd". Does anyone have the same problem or? Thanks a lot!
P.s. Sorry for my poor english
Same here..
I have the same problem too but i think it happens more often with gingerbread keyboard. The lg keyboard lags little more than default android keyboard. I think I'll stick with swype for now

No problems here. Works fine, am using swype tho.

Can it be something with the stock protection foil?
Or may be i must go to the shop and return it
I removed the foil and still has the issue. I haven't tried other keyboards. Using the default LG Keyboard.

I am with the default keyboard too. Its very annoying, when the vibration is ON and when i just touch a letter...it's vibrating for 2-3 seconds.. Today i will try to go to the mobile shop and i will write after my visiting there.
Same here, I believe this is normal behavior, you have to remember that this phone has an entry level touch screen, so you can't except much from it. There are other problems with the keyboards as well related to touch. For example, in the Gingerbread keyboard you can do proper multi-chorded inputs (aka pressing shift + a character to capitalize the character) because of the touch screen quality. Same for pinch to zoom problems.
Download a touch screen test app to see what's really going on and why some things just don't work the way you expect. If you want better touch screen response you should've bought a more expensive phone. I'm happy with my Optimus One since I knew that this is a budget phone and that you can't have high expectations. That said, and knowing how much I paid for it new and unlocked (180€) I'm quite impressed with it's quality.

I am happy with my phone too! But when other people say, that they have no problems, what must i think about? I am from Bulgaria and here 180$ are not little money
So i went to the market and i played with the sample... It has the same "problem" )) So now I think, that all of this is because of my big fingers and "don't know how to touch" This is my first touchscreen phone and may be this is why i woried about. So thanks all for the answers, now i am a bit more calm! Great wishes for the NEW YEAR to all! Bye!
No problems with original android keyboard same as with SmartKeyboard Pro
Try to change to a different type of keyboard first and change back maybe after about 2-3 mins.
same problem
Hello folks!!
I have the same ptoblem with my touchscreen but only when i plug the usb cable to charge ...any solution?
it happens because of the touch screen lag bug. there is too much cpu usage when the touch screen is tapped.
that is why when you try to type fast using lg or android keyboard you will experience such problems.
this problem is not there with swype since you don't have to tap on the keys to type.
there is a touch screen bug fix and that will solve the problem.
I wish optimus one didn't have so many problems.

Weird issue with multi-touch, anyone willing to test/report?

So I got the Note and downloaded my n64 emulator onto it. Runs games beautifully BUT whenever I would play anything where I had to hold a button down, like Mario Kart or F-Zero, I could control for about 20 seconds until all input died. I would then have to let go of the controls and start holding again.
I thought this was weird...so...
I downloaded multitouch testers. 2 inputs OK, 3 inputs OK but the more fingers I added the more inputs would glitch in and out. Could get up to 7 and then all touch would fail.
So...
I went to Rogers and told them my issue. One of the girls working there had a Note so we downloaded a multitouch tester on it and got the same results as my Note. Then we opened a brand new Note and downloaded a multitouch tester...same issue as mine.
So could anyone test their multitouch and post results? Thanks

I got 7 as well befor multi-touch freaked out. I technically got 8 but it was not stable at all...

This is the same thing that would happen on the Atrix. Apparently leaving your fingers in one place too long is interpreted by the software as a drop of water being on the screen and the sensor would go crazy.
I tried it on a multi touch tester and it happens everytime I leave 2 fingers in the same place. Also goes bonkers when over 7 inputs are on the screen.
With the Atrix someone actually disabled the water drop feature, maybe a similar fix can be made for the Note.

Thank you for this information. Glad to know that someone knows the cause or possible cause.
Using Antutu tester I get 7 Max inputs as well as the timing out of all inputs after 15 seconds or so.
Tested using antutu...
Touch starts going nuts at 5 inputs for me. Loss of touch at around 10 seconds (I did not time it).
Actually just did some more testing... I can make it do all sorts of crazy stuff. I can make a ghost 2nd finger, cause finger 1 to blink loss of location.
I did notice it will never time out if only one finger is on screen or if 2nd finger is continually tapping.
Also noticed that it will not register touch while using s-pen (can't think of a use anyway).
Kinda sucks as a large motivation for me was playing games. I may go look at how the atrix guys fixed theirs and see if it would apply to us.

Are you serious?
A simple game like mario on NES even requires 3. Left or right+Run+Jump
This is a serious issue. One that made me have to switch back to the Galaxy Nexus for the time being (I had a Galaxy Nexus but sold it for the Note) Its upsetting because I love to draw, and found the Note amazing...maybe I will pick up another sometime but for now I only need one device.
If I had known this I'd have never got the Note in the first place because now I own a Galaxy Nexus that I didn't personally buy brand new and maybe I will have issues with it.
Why include such a stupid feature. I've used all my androids and iphones in the past whilst it rained and it was fine. **** sakes.
Hey guys, i saw the post on the N7000 Q&A, i just tested it, can get to 10 fingers very stable, and 11 fingers (with the help of a friend) then it stops detecting, hope that helps.
To clarify the previous post, I asked on the 7000 forum if their phone had similar issues. Appears they do not. I am downloading Samsung kernel source to see if the issue is in the kernel level driver or if it is somewhere in user space.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
just finished taking a look at kernel driver... seems to be the issue. Some code that doesn't appear in the int'l version that pertains to ghost touch checking.
Matches timeout of first finger after 4 seconds when using two fingers.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
So which is the better option, change the timeout to something longer (I tried 20 seconds and it works fine)... or remove the functionality of the ghost touch detection all together?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
tablets are supposed to have more muti touch points then phones in theory,,,,but this is a good question, or a setting in build prop to have more responsiveness would be nice, am gonna call a friend who works at Samsung tommorow and see if there is a option for better responsiveness or if this is the best it will get,,,no game will support a 7 finger console so its unneeded and a waste,, i mean i can touch it with one hand with all fingers but testing it with two hands its just overkill in my eyes..
this is the first phone I have had out fo 10 in the past year that does not support 10.
I get 5
Well my main concern was just removing the timeout (I, like the op, like playing roms).I already made a kernel just changing the timeout, but was looking to see if people thought we should just lose the ghost touch all together.

MultiTouch Tester
Okay, so I built a kernel with ghost touch completely shut off and it has been working great (little over a day now). At the moment my plan is to run it through tomorrow and if I still have no issues I will release it hopefully sometime Sunday evening for testing. I am thinking of making a version that allows turning it off an on from userspace (or set timeout), should someone want that feature, but I don't know.
As far as 10 finger multitouch goes....
I really can't think of a single time where I thought to myself, "if only my 7th finger on the screen would register correctly.." so I will likely not bother with that unless someone shows a real need.

[Q] Odd touchscreen issue

My wife's P7510 has started to act up. The touchscreen is jumpy. When i go into the development options and use the pointer coordinates option, my finger registers as two,sometimes three. It makes it difficult to type, and just hard to use. Do i have a hardware issue or is it something I can easily fix?

Did you flash another ROM?
if stock: there is maybe moisture or dust, take apart as much as possible and hoover round the edges,If the touch screen is still not working, the tab is broken as the majority if touch screen phones and tabs cannot be calibrated
The tablet is still under warranty, so I don't want to dissemble. It had rooted stock OS on it, ICS. I flashed the stock rom back, and still have the issue. Did a Factory reset, and still have the issue. I am in the process of draining the battery to see if that helps. But I was hoping someone may have had this happen before, and can shed some light on my problem.
well, if you still got a warranty claim it then

Try using the touchscreen tune app (requires root).
This will allow you to modify screen sensitivity and test.
If you have the warranty..backup your data and claim a new one.

I don,'t think this app will work as this looks like a hardware issue after flashing another ROM, maybe you can check the all forum-searcher and check if anyone else has this issue too.
I'd suggest to send it back and claim a new tablet as well!

If your warranty is void then I would check software issues first. Are you on stock or custom rom. Did you install any new apps just before it happened. It might be worth trying a factory reset to rule out software problems. Get multi touch tester from the market and see if it responds to touches.

at first I'm in stock rom,then after a month using i get some errors with the touch screen,it become slow and slightly unresponsive,so I decided to try custom rom with sense 5 and hope the problem will fix,everything seems fine touch screen is good but after few days using it my softkey not working,and the middle of the screen become unresponsive,I try to reinstall the custom rom but still not working,so I went back to stock using guide from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402578 since I lost my backup files,after that problems still there,softkey still not working and the unresponsive problem still appear,I factory reset the phone many times but not help,but then I accidentally drop the phone from a half meter height table after that accident my softkey working back normally I can use it again like usually,only the unresponsive touch screen in the middle of the screen still appear..weird isn't it?
I test with multitouch tester and yes the middle screen touch has error,if I move my finger from the top to the bottom it will skip the middle screen like it's not touchable,another question,did one x+ detect only 2 fingers on multitouch?cause multitouch tester show that I have 2 touch only,just wondering
for the record my phone have a slightly screen flex at the left and right bottom corner only if I press that side too hard,I realize this and never press them too hard again,is that screen flexing that cause the screen become unresponsive?
It's also possible that it might be a bad connection. Why not remove the screen and check the connectors

[Q] Touch screen too sensitive

Is it just my phone or is the touch screen a bit too sensitive? All I have to do is hover my finger over the screen and it registers a touch - which can get old when you're typing. I only noticed it today though. Anyone else?
Turn of glove mode
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk 2
same here, i also felt that it was very sensitive. i often accidently pressed something while scrolling - toggling glove mode did not really change a lot. got my nilkin tempered glass protector some days ago though, its perfect now with it
If you turn off glove mode, you have to touch screen to register, with glove mode on hovering your finger above screen is enough to register

That's the first thing I checked; glove mode is off. It was worse last night then it is this morning. About the only thing I did was flash back the .69 stock kernel to see if that made any difference. I know that between the rom and custom kernel, there are a number of customizations going on. (not insinuating anything about either - just trying to eliminate possibilities if this isn't by design). Plus I shot a mail off to Sony as I saw a few people on their support site mentioning the same thing.
OR I could just be OCD lol.

I know that's what it sounds like - but both of us have checked and glove mode was off. Anyway, I flashed the stock kernel (.69) last night and it's not so bad today. Whether there is any correlation w/ respect to that is another question.

I have the same problem as well since I opened the box ... And I definitely don't have glove mode on. This is the only complaint I have about the phone really. Otherwise, it's fantastic.
Possible solution
If this problem is still an issue: This seems to be a problem with most Sony devices snapdragon 800 and up. In the Xperia Z Ultra forum what we did to solve the issue was to root the device. Then use root Explorer then go to system>usr>idc>open "max1187x_touchscreen_" and change this line from "touch.filter.level = 2" to "touch.filter.level = 5". That's it. All that needs to be changed is one character. Seriously.... SMH Sony.

Problem still persists for me. Changed to 5, then rebooted, and i can still hover my finger and registers as a touch. I'm on Carbon though, is it stock rom only?
Edit: after a couple more reboots, it's working! Not too sensitive anymore. Can I change it down to 4 to make it more sensitive? Is it like a scale? But it did screw up some other things, xposed doesn't work now.. Will have to find out why.
Edit2: no I can still hover.. Maybe it was working, maybe it was placebo.

It is like a scale and 5 worked great for us. I don't know about anyone else but I did this on the stock rom. Maybe you could try 6 or 7? Definitely wasn't a placebo for me. I Couldn't even use both fingers on the screen at the same time without this mod. I just couldn't play games at all because everything would lean to one side just because of a little dirt or moisture. I could not even send messages and right now I'm typing this reply on my z ultra gpe.

Touch Screen issues #MotoXForce
Well I just got a Moto X Force ( Marshmallow 6.0) and I'm having an issue with the touch screen . It happens about 9-10 times a day . maybe more . and it's random from what I have noticed .Thing is , *sometimes* I would approach the icon of an app( or a button to click on a website) with my thumb/finger , and the touch is registered wihout even me actually physically touching the screen yet , not saying that something else opens up ,no, only that app opens up which I was about to , initially , but I'm pretty damn sure that a lot of times it has happened while my finger is still approaching the screen , I.e. hovering over the touch screen. Anyone here got that one ? Would be great if i can get some clue .
Thanks!!

Well , then , either its the firmare (Hopefully ) or that the screen is defective ( OMG Please no ) , will reset the phone a couple more times and see what comes up , maybe wait for an update from google on the software side , visiting a service center would be my last resort , people at the service centers in this country are more clueless than I am , they'd just try and wouldn't be able to do anything but damage my device further and wouldn't even claim they did it leaving me no choice other than to get a new phone , thanks for the concern tho !
Hi guys,
is this problem / random glove mode activated still exist on .575 ??
My Z2a (running on .575 MM ROM) still face this issue. Sad.
My devices is not rooted, so i can not try to edit screen-sensitivity related file.
This problem so annoying
