Some one else must surely experience the same thing, but its really doing my head in, and makes smooth scrolling in web pages nigh on impossible to achieve.
Basically, I find if I scroll slowly with my finger, much of the time it'll follow my finger just fine, but the second time as soon as I lift my finger off the screen, it will just take off and scroll much further than I wanted to... Sometimes it will even take off in the opposite direction!
Its starting to drive me mad, anyone knows why it does this? I've even tried different browsers but it does the same in many of those too. Any ideas?
I'd like to know as well. This happens to me way too frequently.

Do any of you happen to know if it's possible to change the sensitivity of the trackball? I've noticed on HTC devices it slowly moves one character at a time, which is quite tedious during those few times I need it. It generally feels kinda "loose" with the OS.
My G1's trackball is weird. Sometimes it is hyper-senstive, and othertimes, it barely moves anything. Sorry, I haven't seen anything that lets you play with sensitivity levels.

My trackball speed is very inconsistent, as well. In text, it's ridiculously slow -- a full stroke only moves it a couple or three characters. In the browser, moving from link to link, it's almost unusably fiddly and sensitive; it can be a real chore to get the highlight onto the correct link without it shooting off someplace far away. I hope this gets addressed in an update soon.
Hello!
I have been having a small issue with the touchscreen. This all started when I noticed I could type faster on my iPod touch than I can on my Incredible (no, not another Apple fanboy lol). So I started to look into what was causing this. Quite quickly I noticed that some keyboard presses did not register, but I saw the icon pop up (to show which key I was pressing)! This only happened if I typed fast... so then I started to look deeper into why the icon popped up but it didn't type the key. I figured out that if you touch two points too quickly, the screen registers it as a "drag" event. As a side note, I've been using Smart Keyboard Pro for it's multitouch capability. I've tested this by tapping twice quickly in Swype, and sure enough, it drew a line between two keys.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
Thanks,
x.v_
I made a video to demonstrate what I'm talking about!

it has nothing to do with multitouch. do the same thing but hold a finger on a and a finger on l at the same time, then let go of a and the same thing happens. you're just touching it fast enough that that's how it's registering. it's not the screen, it's the apps. swype isn't multitouch so that's what happens when you try.

...I didn't say it had to do with multitouch? It is a global problem, not just apparent in some apps. This seems to be a bug in how the phone handles two points being touched too quickly. This should not happen.

One day there'll be an android phone with a touchscreen as good as the iphone...
Actually the S2 touchscreen seems to be pretty good. The only issue I've found is this: There appears to be a 'move threshold'. I.e. when you touch the screen, the touch-down even is sent fine, but when you move your finger slightly no move event happens. You have to move at least.. maybe 2 mm, before any move events happen, at which point the touch jumps from its original position to the correct one. This has the effect of making all scrolls and pans start with a little jump.
Even the crappy touchscreen on my N1 doesn't do this. To me it sounds like a software issue -- maybe even deliberate -- rather than hardware. Does anyone know why they would do this, or how to fix it?
You should make a youtube video showing this issue.
Multitouch Visualizer shows this issue clearly (as well as, on a positive note, showing the screen can identify and track at least 10 touch points simultaneously -- nice!)
Yup, looks like software big. hope its fixed in next update. Try playing pool break game, the direction change due to this bug is annoying.

I think it's a future, not a bug: Not scrolling when you lift your finger off the screen, because you can't lift it perfectly vertically. It happens some time on my DHD.
I've noticed this in every android phone even my nexus one. It must be the way android is written, doesn't seem like there's much you can do about it =(
Also all android phones seem to lag with the touch input. The time between the actual movement of your finger and the screen moving is much greater than ios or wp7 devices. Its like the content is following your finger around lagged while on ios or wp7 its always directly under your finger.
The N1 does it in some places but not all. The most obvious place it doesn't do it in is the (stock) lock screen. It also doesn't do it when you slide the notification bar up from the bottom (but does when you slide it down from the top!)
The SGS2 seems to do it absolutely everywhere. I also think that the 'step' is bigger on the SGS2, although that might just be due to the screen being larger. It's quite possible that when someone creates an AOSP ROM for the SGS2 it'll go back to doing it in the same places as the N1.
Hello,
When I scroll down/left/right in my phone and hold my finger on display, the screen automatically shakes left and right or up and down (depending on how I was scrolling my device). This also occurs while charging and while moving an icon on home-screen. I had this issue previously with Asus Zenfone 3, Samsung Galaxy J7 and a HTC Desire (dont remember the exact model though) and a similar issue with iphone 6 (which was registering that my finger was moving on home button). Is this a software problem or hardware problem and how can I fix this ? I have read on web that many people are facing this issue on various phones. but couldnt find any solution yet. Is this my screen sensitivity/touch/display driver/ battery or something else ? If anyone could suggest something, would be really helpful.
Edit: Exactly the same issue as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxysauxJ5Yk&feature=youtu.be but mine shakes a bit less, still annoys me while playing 8 ball pool and other aiming games like angry birds, etc.
Thanks
There is an app which you can use to test your touch screen by drawing on it. You'll be able to see exactly what it's registering. From what I've seen it happens on a lot of phones with bad digitizers. Try to get a warranty replacement.

Hello,
Sorry for delay. I went to service centre and they said that it is normal because of smooth and silky touch and slight movement of fingers. I explained him that it occurs more while charging and he had to take my phone for inspection.
Here is the correct video : https://youtu.be/PmQ2lra4RXU
My hand didnt have tremors. I agree that human hands are not 100 % stable, however, none of my other phones do it. And if my hand is shaking, then it should shake also while the phone is not charging. When I unplug my device, it stops shaking (almost stops), but when I replug it, it starts to behave weird again when I am holding finger stable. Also, this shaking will move your aim pointer in gaming and it really is annoying while play games with pointer moving.
Is it really normal that your pointer moves while your finger is stable on screen ?
Sorry if this was discussed somewhere else, but I couldn't find it.
May be someone could confirm this:
When scrolling frequently one time after another moving your finger repeatedly up or down quickly for vertical scrolling in a long page in chrome for instance, it's very buggy for me.
It has some sort of delay. The screen doesn't react many times.
If the movements are slow and not so frequent, its almost OK. But if you do it quickly it is very bad.
I keep thinking if it is the original Samsung screen protector, I had pre-installed.
It's like that in all apps, I think (Samsung internet, PlayStore, chrome, Samsung store, etc).
Has anybody noticed the same and did removing the screen protector solve this? Or is it something else that anyone found?
Edit: By the way touch sensitivity under settings, screen is enabled.
So try turning off screen sensitivity, are you sure your palm isn't touching the sides also while scrolling?
