Recently I bought Samsung HomeSync (a TV media player) with Android 4.2.2 on board, it does not have a screen or touchpad, and I connected an Apple magic trackpad to it via bluetooth. Everything seems to work (clicking, tapping, multi-touch etc) except one annoying thing: the pointer on the screen is not at the same position as the actual touching point. When I tap on the trackpad, a circle appeared on the screen at a different position than the pointer, the shift between these two points is always the same. Unfortunately, I did not find anything in the settings to correct this mismatch, maybe it can be adjusted in the config files? The device is rooted.

I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend
Hello.
I have a Kocaso M1070. Cheap tablet. Has 4.1.1 Android OS on it. I have rooted it.
Here is the problem. For some reason, the default "Top" of the tablet happens to have the power & Volume buttons on the bottom on the tablet. Now most apps you can just rotate the tablet and get the orientation or direction you want it. But some apps, mainly games, like Marvel Puzzle Quest and Lords & Knights have a fixed screen position. Can't change it's orientation at all. And of course, it happens to have my buttons at the bottom, which is what I have the tablet sitting on.
So my question is, is there a way to change which direction the tablet thinks is "Top" or is it a hardware thingy and i'm stuck with it like that?
Thanks.
Hi everyone. After changing the usb pin of my phone, the touch screen started doing some weirds things. Sliding among desktops is rather laggy. Pressing an icon is not enough to get the app (or whatever) to work, a second attemp is neccesary in any other part of the screen in order to make it happen. The physical buttons seems to be working fine so far.
In further investigations it seems like pressing on the screen is well detected, since i can press an icon and move it around a desktop. But unpressing anything goes undetected.
I see no physical damage on the screen or the flex that connects it to the motherboard. This is not an issue related to any especific rom or kernel since i tried with a couple of them before getting to this point. Is there any app that allows me to monitor what part of the screen is being touch?
Can this be resolved by a firmware update of any kind of just a hardware replacement?
Cheers
Well, the touchscreen on my Lifepad S9314 is coming to an end. Via YATT (yet another touch tester app) i recognize there a a lot of spots where my 1-tap gesture/point will trigger 2-3 "ghost" taps on the same horizontal but on the other side of the screen. (which causes a multi-touch-gesture being recognized, which causes most inputs not doing what i intend to do. (Typing, Games).
Well i already ordered a new Lifepad (which is coming soon) but in the meantime i'm stuck with this one. Most of the time i have no problems, but sometimes the "ghost"-taps keep coming every time - very annoying. Anyway I just thought "why not plug a USB mouse in and play via mouse?" and it worked. (via package/stock USB-OTG-Cable).
I tried it out and it worked. Now i have a small mouse cursor on my tablet and can play around with a mouse. I can play games, but one point is still "missing":
how can i "emulate" a 2-finger tap (so a gesture where i touch the screen in 2 places, like for a blocking-sequence in a game)? Because every mouse button i press (left middle or right results in a single tap. I "could" just touch the screen with 2 fingers at events when needed, but as my mouse has more than 1 button, isn't there something like a "makro" wich for example tells the tablet, that right click results in that 2-finger-gesture? Or else like using mouse wheel for progressive/repetitive/fast/action tapping?
All searches seem to point towards using the screen a s a track pad for another device.
What I had hoped is when I am screen mirroring to my car that I can use the phone screen as a track pad or have the touch input move a mouse pointer on the screen as I slide my finger around, perhaps generating a mouse click when my finger is stationary for more than 2 seconds or so.
I thought I saw something like this a while back but it's proving harder to find than I anticipated.
Alternative is a tiny track pad that is Bluetooth. Everything I find is either requiring a usb dongle, comes with a keyboard functionality (I don't need to type in the car) or is as big or larger than the Apple track pad (which is too big for my application).
