I've just got the Milestone 2 for 5 days and now I realize the very strange and annoying problem of the touch screen. When I played some FPS game like Nova or Sandstom, sometimes when I tried to aim the character didn't aim the way that I aim but he move that way even I did not touch the virtual move pad. I used the Touch Screen test apps to test. First I touch and hold my 1st finger to have 1st point, then I touch my 2nd finger to have 2nd point. Then I leave my 1st finger so there would be the 2nd point left on the screen but when I use my 1st finger to touch the screen, my 2nd point change to 1st point and at my 1st finger phosition is the 2nd point. It's mean 2 point had changed their position to each other and that's why that strange thing happened when I play the game. The Milestone 1 doesn't have this problem in the game and when using the Test app the 2nd point still remain at my 2nd position after my 1st finger retouch the screen. Is this a firmware bug or there is any problem with my hardware ? Please help me.
Motorola Milestone 2 touch screen problem
Dude, try with a screen protector, problem should disappear. I also met identical problem with my Droid 2 but I detected just after 3 days of bought, so the seller has changed the new phone for me and now its ok.
For easily showing problem, you can download a paint soft with full screen ability, start it and then do some quick swipe across the screen, you will see the strange undesired streaks appear somewhere on screen
Man, I'm using the screen protector too. The screen just fine when using single touch but it will act funny when using multi touch like play game. Mine is not the only one, my girl friend milestone 2 has this problem too. I though this is a software failure not the hardware. Just play Nova or Sandstom with the Ms 2 and you will see the problem.

Sometimes the touch screen is WAY off and only restart is fixing it. Noticed this 2 times already.....
I've noticed this too. I was using the browser, and my screen presses were registering as all sorts of random things (like pressing the middle of the screen would press the zoom button). Restarting the browser seemed to fix it.
Add it to the nexus one issue list.

that's from a lack of multitouch. your hand is probably just barely touching the lower corner of the glass. when you press again in the middle, it registers on the softkeys. it is one of the things I *HATE* about this phone. I always seem to be touching the screen on the very edge. you almost cant use it with just one hand.
I find that I do that with my HTC Magic sometimes as well, the 'webbing' between my thumb and index finger sometimes touches the corner of the screen and brings up the 'app menu' in my left hand, or the 'add widget' menu in my right hand (sense ui). Just another general thing about touch screens and their placement
the four touch buttons arent that accurate. didnt have this problem on the droid. i rarely miss it there but on the nexus is becoming 50/50 chance of it not registering.
Lol how are you guys holding the phone, i always use it one handed and havent expirienced this, i guess everyones different.

This not necessarily a problem with this phone in particular. It is a phenonema that happens on all capacitive touch screens (that do not have multitouch). I work with them all the time (much larger scale) and the slightest touch on a border results in what appear to be calibration issues.
Multi touch takes into account for this, non multitouch does not.
This has happened to me also. Same exact thing, in the browser, the touch was way off, really way off. I was pressing the middle and the zoom button pressed. It was on the table so I know my other hand didn't touch it. It was also vibrating sometimes when I pressed the middle of it. Restarting seems to have fixed it for now.
happened to me in SMS and browser and the only fix was restart the phone.....so its not me accidentally touching the screen in another point.
ps. its so bad that i couldnt even use touch screen to power off the phone. i had to use track ball. (now i know why its there )
I've had this problem as well as other with touch screen. Sometimes I will hit an icon on the main screen and it will jump screens. When I'm in the menu's i hit one of the options and it goes to the one underneath it. I'm CLEARLY hitting the option I want and not the one below so it is infact a hardware problem in my case. I will be in the browser and hit a button and it will exit out of the browser, very annoying! Mine is unlocked but I wrote HTC so lets see what they say.
its a known prob with this phone, ppl are complaining all over Google forum, its very annoying, when it happens it doesn't just happen in the browser, also in text message n home screen ect...

Webbed fingers are gross.
I have now experienced this definitively once. It happened while using the dolphin browser. I wiped the screen off, set it on a table, poked with only one finger, and could not for the life of me get the software keyboard to click on the correct button. Just wouldn't happen. Had to restart the phone to fix it. But it's only happened once since I got the thing on launch day.
^ same thing for me. Does the OTA fix this, I have not received it yet. Wish I saw this before I created a thread, sorry.

i dunno, but touches (especially multitouch) seems ALOT more responsive and accurate than before i did the new update... i used dolphin prior and pinch zooming seemed jittery and like the phone didnt want me to do it... now everything seems smooth as butter!
obviously this is only short term though, but hopefully this fix will also address some of the calibration issues (that i also experienced) that the N1 has been known to have...
Lo,
not sure if it's just me and coming from my Hero, but I do have issues at times with the screen getting to recognise my finger presses. This can be in games to apps; I generally find that a firm press works but surely this should be needed.
Can anyone else confirm whether they have the same or whether mines gone a bit dodgy?

Mine started to feel less sensitive and on web sites I find it had clicking on curtain parts of the page for example I click my ebay tab but have to give a few tries as it thinks I clicked the tabs either side

Yeah,,i'm the same when trying to select tabs on dolphin hd. It was a pain trying to play fruit ninja too.
Mine did seem super sensitive at first too and noticed like others that if you held your finger really close,b ut not touching, the screen still recognised the touch.
I hope then this isnt something that worsens overtime - I'll wait and see.
Thanks
I'm curious about this now because at first I also noticed it would respond if my finger was very close but still above the screen. I don't know if I've gotten used to that now or if it's actually changed. There has been two software updates so it's possible they tweaked a setting. Despite not noticing the hovering touch any more the screen is still far more responsive than my Milestone.
With the last 2 updates, they did change the screen sensitivity.
Could one of you undo the updates or hard reset, and see if it is sensitive again? That way, we know it's just software and tweakable.
I can't because I do not have my phone yet. Lol... (actually that isn't funny)..
My phone has had all the updates done and I find my screen sensitivity to sensitive. But then again I have come from a Touch Pro 2 where it wasn't the best anyway.
No problems here. Search for multitouch test on the market for some objective testing. (You can also see with this app that HTC solved the weird multitouch problem that previous devices had.)
From my testing, it seems to react better to a greater surface area contact; the tip of my finger barely triggers it, but if I use the full end of my finger it seems fine.
Bit odd and annoying
Mine's *too* sensitive.

I would call the HTC helpdesk and ask for a pick-up repairment or go back to the store and swap it for another one.
Hello
I have 2 months old LG Nexus 4 and I have a problem with touch screen. These is a field in a buttom of the screen whitch is not reacting on touch. I ca touch it 100 times and nofthing happens it is not respondint to anything even harder touches.
so the field is here
shrani.najdi.si/?2k/2D/4dhib9sI/screenshot2012-11-04-14-.jpg
under these field and above is screen working normaly. now i want to know if is these maybe a softwere bug or is these a hardwer one and i should take the phone on the serverice, btw the phone never fall or anything else.
Thank you for advices.
Try going to developer options, enabling here "Pointer Location" and then swype across the screen a few times so there will be a long blue line (it's important to move your finger on the screen near that faulty place). If your finger suddenly stops drawing that blue line then it's definitely a hardware problem.
Hello all
I just got a UK unlocked s8 and I love it but I'm having an issue with the multi touch.
It cannot register multi touch properly. I notice the issue whilst typing on the keyboard.
I downloaded those multi touch tester and if I put my left thumb and 2 fingers from my right hand then place them on the screen at the same time, it does not always register 3 touches. If you move your fingers then it will.
Anyone have this issue?
Could it be another app that is causing the issue?
Faulty screen?
Thanks
Okay so I've worked it out. The issue occurs when I set the phone to qhd! If I use full HD then the issue goes away. How lame is that!
Edit. I've set qhd again and this time it appears to be working. I'll monitor this
I got 10 touch registered with no problem, before running out of fingers and screen is set for maximum resolution, never noticed any missing touches either. Not sure why yours would be different.
Well I guess me changing the resolution messed something up. Changing them back and forth sorted the issue out
I was having the same problem with my galaxy s8 plus. It couldn't recognize more than 2 fingers. At last I got a solution. That is, just go to your call dailer and then ty-pe *#2663# then update TSP. And you are ready to rock 10 fingers.
same problem

I have the same problem. Whenever i play a FPS game using 4 fingers it only allows me to use 2 fingers. Rebooting the phone only temporarily solves the problem before it comes back. Changing the resolution solves it temporarily as well. Is there any other solutions?
Hello everybody,
I have a accidentally cracked Pixel 4. The Display cracks after it falls from around one meter height. I decided to fix the screen and buy a new one. It seems to be not an original Bit the board of the new and the old screen seems to be exactly the same. I opened the phone and replace the screen without any damage. After the screen was inserted I test it if it woks. Success! Everything works (I not tested the touch Funktion yet) after I build most of the things together I give it another try and I recognized that the touch Funktion does not work. No matter how hard I press or hold the connector down etc. I tried many things also a Hard Reset. I never seen such problem before. And my question is: is this the screen, the phone or a software problem? And how I can fix this issue? I am completely confused because I fixed many phones but something like this is new. Regularly the complete Amoled does not work.
If I go to the left upper corner, there is some movement in the screen and this also stays if I release my finger (video).
