so I'm coming from the captivate and I feel like the touch screen on the Atrix is quite dull. The iphone4 is very obviously superior to both unfortunately.
Anyone else having some real difficulty with the touch sensitivity/accuracy of the atrix?
nope, so far I haven't had any problems with the touchscreen
No issues here. Last phone was an Epic 4G and they are about the same.

I had some issues with catching the space bar on the keyboard at first, but I think that was just me... haven't really noticed any issues for the last couple days. I feel like the screen is generally pretty responsive. I'd say it's better than the screen on my 3GS.

I have problems tapping space bar frequently when using keyboard in a landscape position
its super responsive... it registers my touch when my finger barely hovers the screen...

I think I kind of got used to the position. I also ended up getting the gingerbread keyboard app which helps a lot since you can change the keyboard size and spacing. I only had problems in landscape, like you mentioned. Don't really have any issues now.

I agree, if anything it's too responsive. Almost like it's trying to predict what I'm going to select. It can be annoying at times b/c I barely hover the screen and an app launches.
For the person asking the question, are you using a screen protector? I know those have a way of reducing the sensitivity of the touch screen.
Very responsive, far more than iphone 3g. As others have said I had issues with the space bar in landscape mode but keyboardpro helped a lot.
I think one reason I would think it isn't responsive is because I can't type as fast on the atrix as I could on my inspire and nexus s

I agree that it is very dull. My dad just bought one and I set it up for him and showed him how to use it. If people think it is responsive, they haven't tried something like the Evo that will activate buttons with the slightest of contact.
Hopefully an update will fix it.

I just came from iphone 4 and this screen just seems a little off to me, so I agree... I just figured it was me.

I, too, came from an iPhone 4.... and the only issue i find is that i seem to make a fair bit more typos than i remember on the iPhone 4. Then again.... i don't find the Atrix auto-correcting much of anything... let alone the most annoying crap.
Sensitivity seems just fine to me. If you can launch an app with just enough of a touch that you barely feel yourself actually touching the screen.... i'd say it's doing quite well with the sensitivity.
Yes this is exactly what I mean. I came from the captivate with 2.2 cognition installed. I was very proficient at typing on that. This thing doesn't seem to be as accurate to pick up my letter taps. REALLY hope the update fixes that and the fact that it doesn't play MP4's like it's supposed to.
No... i think it's accurate.... it just doesn't have any form of auto-correct. It has the same style of keyboard as the iPhone, in that you can slide to the proper letter... which i think is where some of my typos are coming from. Finger is not quite off the phone before i move to the next letter.
I'm not sure that I feel the same way; there are times where I don't even feel my finger touch the screen and I'm getting feedback.
Very responsive and accurate for me. However, it did take me a few hours to get used to typing on the keyboard.

Bumping this because I'd like to see if others have this issue also.
I have found the Atrix to be extremely responsive while typing--everything except for the space bar. I can literally hover my finger just above a letter and it will register, but there is something about the space bar that only seems to give me issues from time-to-time (intermittent problem?).
I'm using the stock keyboard in portrait view.

I've noticed that on my NS, I don't have to actually touch the screen to tap keys. I can keep my finger slightly hovering over the glass and it still recognizes my input. Sometimes it actually causes me to mistype at a higher rate than other phones.
Are you guys seeing this too?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's experienced this....I thought I was going crazy. It's sporadic at best, but when it happens it is annoying. I can't say for sure what causes it, but I'd love to hear other people's opinions.
I've been getting this as well.
same here. Guess they have the capacitance set a bit too high.....
yup, me too. infact. my home button gets phatom long pressed and the light is off on it...have to power it off/ turn the screen off and on muliple times. that insanity has occured about 4 times thought.
Thanks for the replies. I went back into Best Buy and tried their demo phone. So either it's supposed to be this way or they messed up a whole batch of phones. I wish I could remember whether the vibrant did this or not, but it's not standing out.
Sometimes touchscreen nonresponsive too. This is not relating to partial outer border touching either.

I believe Engadget did mention did this during their review @ http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/nexus-s-review/.
Their exact quote: "One other thing of note -- we noticed a few missed or latent presses on the touchscreen which occasionally led to stuttery behavior or an opened item that we didn't mean to tap. It's hard to say if this was a software or hardware issue (and we know that sometimes Android devices can be particularly finicky when syncing). It wasn't a deal-breaker by any means, but we saw the issue rear its head a handful of times, and felt it was worth mentioning."
it's nothing ,, the Samsung galaxy S does that too D:
that happens due to the static on your finger.
Hi
I opened a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879872) because I definitely have a problem on the back capacitive button, just wondering how many people are affected?
In fact I have seen this in four devices now, it looks that there is a batch of defective Nexus S phones out there affected by this problem?
It's normal. My Nexus One is like that too. It's magic.
So, it is normal to have un-responsive back button after some times?
Damn ... this is bad. I hope I can cope with it. I really hate hardware problem.
And still could not understand why Google cannot fix it.
Last time from HTC ...
And now from Samsung ...

There's a thread for the back button, that's a real issue. Some people have the Back button issue, some the Home button issue. Both of those buttons are on the outer edge of the phone, so something may be messed up when the phone was being assembled.
First off, I'm not a hater.
I'm a previous HD2 user and in no way an apple fanboy.
However, I cannot fail to notice how increadibly bad our touch experience is with our dhd's. For instance, when you move your finger sideways, you'll notice how choppy it is.
Also, for example when playing Gun Bros, you'll notice that you won't be able to aim properly. Also there, it is choppy. Instead of giving all 360° you'll find segments where it just jumps over, if you understand what I mean.
I tried playing it on my friends iPhone 4, and it worked perfectly there. Very accurate.
I guess I just wanted to write my anger off and see if anyone agrees with me that HTC could have done a better job on the touch. I suppose samsung has a better touch with their 60 hz (or is it 69 hz) digitizer?
I have no issues at all with digitizer, what would say is that gun bros is still in beta stage.
I play plenty of games and not once come across any issues.
Yeah I've noticed that too when I was drawing stuff on it, when moving finger diagonally in a straight line it creates like a wavy line. Pretty disappointing but oh well, you can never have a perfect device...
I'm still happy I bought it though, much better then my last phone.
EDIT: Here's a pic, I tried my best to make straight lines as slowly as possible.
I find the touch screen perfect with no glitches or jumps in any game or app
Could be the game or could be an issue with your rom and the game
Do you have it overclocked and without general bugs? Those could be causing it
Or a power hungry app in the background making the game seem to jump
Another thought is a screen protector, when I put mine on it seemed to be alot less responsive

It's definately not an issue with the game, as I see this everywhere. It is a matter of the digitizer.
Also I am running it stock right now.
To those that say their screen is working perfectly, try flipping through the home screens very slowly from left to right or the other way around, with your finger on the screen all the time, and let me know if it follows the finger perfectly or if it's a bit choppy, as compared to when you go up and down in the app drawer for instance. You'll see about 9-10 "chops". This, I've reproduced on 3 different DHDs.
i'm using a -android Revolution HD and have no problems with the screen, i was trying to do dose things with finger and the window is yust there where i first put my finger on, so i don't see the problem here.

There no reason to get flamed, we're merely stating the truth.
Surely, the dhd is a great device, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that even HD2 was smoother horizontally. The fact that a high end device cannot draw diagonals across the screen is simply crazy, seeing as it was possible with previous devices, and I cannot help to feel a bit ripped off from htc.
But before concluding too much, is there anyone that actually cannot reproduce this problem? If so, please post a picture where you can draw a diagonal (of course by moving your finger in a slow enough motion)

I tried to do this with a drawing app and I can make "straight" diagonal lines when using a swipe action. I can also recreate the sample posted by drawing the line slowly.

Yep, when drawing diagonally in a fast sweep motion the line is drawn correctly and when drawing slowly it becomes wavy.
I'm also interested if there's anyone not having this issue.
for me, fast would be straight and slow would be wavy...
It could be bad software. I read the LauncherPro thread here on XDA, and people are experiencing this choppy behavior on their Nexus S' and so on using LP.
Bad Sense coding? Might be. Can people with custom ROMs post their results?

Id say that when moving fast you exceed the 50 hz limit and not all the "reading points" are used.
But it might be software related, could anyone with CM7 try to reproduce this?

It is all about software, the digitizer itself is great. I have a touchscreen pen, and I can draw bullet straight lines with it, no matter how fast or slow.
Then when I put my thumb on the screen and draw, the result is wavy. Our devices just need better handling for large touch areas.

Hmm! He's right you know. If I press VERY lightly (so only the very tip of my finger is on the screen) I get a pretty straight diagonal - but if I press down with the pad of my thumb, it's got the steps in it.
Seems like it's having issues determining which point is actually the centre of the capacitance.
Has anyone else switched to quick controls in honeycomb's browser, by going to settings->Labs? It gives you all the menu items in a semi-circle at your finger too just from swiping along the edge of the screen. I have since day one and am not gng back! I haven't seen anyone comment on this awesome, somewhat hidden, feature, so I thought I would attempt to bring it to everyines attention.
in fact I love it so much I wish it was integrated throughout the rest if the os. I often find myself swiping the side of the screen attempting to use the back button or whatever else. Then sadly I realize I am not in the browser and begrudgingly reach down to the bottom left corner...
If you guys have tried it let me know what you think. If you havn't, give it a whirl and post back
I tried it, but couldn't get it in to it. You have to swipe very close to the edge of the screen, so the popup wouldn't appear several times because I wasn't swiping close enough to the edge. It seems like it would be good, but it needs a little work. Maybe they've fixed it or there are some settings that I didn't look at.

I have never had it not register...perhaps you're doing it wrong.
Simply move your finger from the bezel to the screen on the left or right sides of screen, like you are pulling the menu out. Move your finger to the option you want and release.

I often catch myself swiping when using a 3rd party browser. Long pressing a page brings focus back to the tab as well so its the best of both worlds.
It does however confuse others when they want to check out my Xoom haha.
Yeah I love this option as well.. Took me a little while to figure it out as well.. Make sure your swiping closed to the middle as well because otherwise all the options wont be visible.
Yeah, honestly, my only complaint is that it registers sometimes when I am trying to click a link near the edge of the screen. But doesn't happen very often and a precise touch or quick zoom remidies this.
It is a nice option but I do not like the fact that it hides all of the other controls that are much easier to simply tap with one touch. I realize that it adds more screen real estate but it just doesn't seem easier to use to me. Maybe it is just me.

I love it too. At first it seemed a little flakey but the more I use it the more it's become second nature.

Picked up the Iconia today and am loving it so far except for the fact that the screen seems, to put it mildly, a little unresponsive.
When changing home screens it can need 2 or 3 swipes to get it to change, typing is very difficult with me having to jab at the letters rather than just touch and things such as Astro are difficult to use because the level of pressure required to scroll the screen up and down is actually selecting the folder instead.
Is this related to a screen coating because it is new, or did I get a dodgy one?

Unresponsive Screen?
Maybe you got a defective unit?
I've had mine for a week now and the screen has been a high note for me both in clarity and responsiveness.
I agree with bahurd - I sometimes accidentally almost brush my thumb on the screen - so lightly I don't even feel it but I know I touched it - and it causes things to happen.
Oh dear, looks like an iffy one, pcworld here I come
Can't say I agree actually.. the longer ive had mine (almost 2 weeks now) the buggier and slower it seems. In fact Im typing now and there's quite a delay in how quickly the words appear on screen. I'm using the mortorola BT keyboard designed for xoom. I did a factory reset last night and rerooted, applied my live wallpaper and reinstalled my apps using TiBu and I am back to being as slow and laggy as before. I didnt restore all apps and I really dont have that many. I have 13 gb of free space since everythings on the ex_sd.. I'm getting very discouraged and have till wednesday to decide to return it..
Make sure you've taken off the green metallic sticker from the right bezel. If it's too close to the actual display, it interferes.

I have noticed the screen to be very responsive. I have had mine for about 5 days and I am getting very used to the typing, so much so that I am almost as fast as I would be on regular keyboard, so the screen can certainly keep up and discrimnate those different points with accuracy and speed.
Definitely an issue then, there is no way I could touch type on it, without a good stab the key won't recognize the input.
I have no problem at all with the screen responsiveness .
The only problem i have is the keyboard who take ages to type letters in some forums.
I think it's honeycomb problem not iconias
I've caught my finger on the hand i'm holding the tablet with barely on the bezel interfering with scrolling. It might be an app flooring the processor, other then that I got nothing. Mine has worked well I can even type with two hands like a full keyboard without issues.

I have noticed on my A500 that if my hands are extremely dry the screen doesn't respond well. I checked and when that is happening it is the same with my phone. Try a little hand lotion (not so much to smear up the screen) and see if that helps. You should NEVER have to jab at a capacitive screen to get it to work. That is why they don't use resistive screens any more, they required pressure to operate, the capacitive doesn't.
Well, a good reboot seems to have solved the issue.
Now enjoying a very responsive touch screen experience.
Just one suck pixel now, but as it only appears when the screen is black I think I can live with it.
Having owned the Asus Transformer before this, I can honestly say I can't see much of a difference in screen quality.
Excellent stuff.

Capacitive Screen
Having read the above posts this seems as good a thread as any to write about my problem. I say problem but I'm not certain whether this is "operator error" or possibly an iffy screen. I bought my A500 5 weeks ago at Stap*** on the first day they went on sale there, well pleased with it, a really good machine. Just so that you all can picture it, it's rooted using gingerbreak - new bootup screen compliments of gammaRascal - and all apps I don't use "frozen" so they don't use reources. In the last 4 to 5 days my touchscreen has been getting "lazy", as was already mentioned 2 or 3 swipes to change pages, quite often not responding in good time to tapping - "sticking" when scrolling up or down a page of information. I said "op error" because like kwparker80 I thought it might be dry fingers or possible sticky fingers and whilst I don't necessarily discount this I'd like to hope that was the problem not a malfunctioning screen. My question is have any of you faced this problem about 5 or 6 weeks after purchase? By the way NO screen protector applied.
You all can try this app. It's called Touch Recalibrate. When I had a NookColor, it worked wonders. I uploaded it to my dropbox.

Hello everyone,
I have been playing with my Kindle Fire, since I got it, and I am about ready to chuck it out the window, or just call Amazon for a new one, but I first wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions. My touchscreen is oversensitive. WAY oversensitive. Oversensitive to the point that if I have to type anything into the keybaord, I will be three letters in, the keyboard will close, and I will have to start over. So sensitive/messed up that when scrolling an article in landscape mode, using only my left hand to scroll, random links will click on the right side of the page. The opposite happens if I do it with my right hand. I like the device, and look forward to rooting it, and ICS goodness eventually, but I wanted to know I have a dud and need to return it, or if there is some hidden setting somewhere or what. I am open to trying anything. Side note: I also own a thunderbolt, and find its touchscreen too sensitive, but nowhere NEAR the KF. I am making sure to make deliberate presses and swypes, and trying to make sure no extraneous part of my hand interferes at all. (sometimes even using one hand to poke at the keyboard with the device sitting on the table will still produce the problems.)
Thanks for the help!
Brock
Hey Brock!
I've noticed that my screen is a little more sensitive than my epic 4g but not to the extreme you are talking about.
Perhaps your screen is bugged or something try calling amazon and see what they say.
Also as a side note try rubbing your hands over the screen smudge it up pretty good. Does that make a difference? I know it will look ugly but maybe there was a film or something on the screen. Just to test
*forgive any grammar or spelling mistakes I injured my right hand and it is hard to type with bandages *
Hi
I have a bunch of problems too. Mine is sensitive, and its sometimes a problem not overscroll, but yours seem to be extreme.
As a way out, if you have time drop by a BestB** and try it there, if yours is the same, not to much left to do....
I've been using mine all day and I don't even need to touch the screen. If I get my finger really close to the screen it reads as a touch. I'd say that's a tad too sensitive.

Same here, I feel like I have to push the screen really hard to get it to register. I hit the screen lightly and it does not register my touch. I'm used to my EVO 4g, maybe it is just a lot more sensitive than the fire.

Same here, but it's not as simple as it not registering the touch. Most times the button will animate to show I've touched it but nothing happens. It happens most often with the back button, but happens in the browser and some other apps occasionally. I've had some luck with slower more deliberate taps, but it seems like a software bug to me.

I was using my mom's so I could teach her how to use it, and see if I wanted one. Her was also not sensitive enough many times. It wasn't just that I am used to my Droid 2 because my mom who never used a touch screen before had the same issues. Sometimes it would take 3 or 4 taps to make it work. I just thought it was a bug that would be fixed. It was minor. I ordered my one, so on Tuesday I will see how mine is.
OP I say contact tech support immediately.
My screen is fine, the only problem I'm having is the menu gets pressed, it shows that it was pressed but nothing happens

The two kindle fires I've used have the same touchscreen issue: there is a jerk (along the longest direction of the screen) on touch down. Once the finger is down the reported position is fairly stable, but the initial touch down needs to be smoothed out (or the first few samples from the touch screen should be thrown out).
This causes most of the issues I've seen on mine, where pressing buttons is either inaccurate or they go down and come up without activating (because the touchscreen reported a touch down inside the button and then jerked out of the button area and reported a touch up).
I've spent way too much time on touchscreen drivers (way too much!) and this is a fairly common electrical issue, and the software workaround is fairly straightforward to implement in the kernel. It's surprising that Amazon shipped the device like this (as well as various SGX drivers issues on some apps), especially as every review mentioned it as an issue!
Anyway, once we can build and flash kernels reliably I'm sure we can fix most of the touchscreen issues.
My kindle too !!!
Because of this, I'm getting very stressed ㅠㅠ
It's a matter of the touch panel... would be fixed by software?
If this is not possible... Then I'll be selling the Kindle
I downloaded an app called ILITEK Touch Utility which appears to have made my touchscreen work better. It is in the Google Market.

I'll have to try that out, would be nice to tweak it some Thanks!
mine is not too sensitive, sometimes i have to press multiple times for it to register
Bumping this thread, because this issue is annoying the hell out of me. Those having the touchscreen not being sensitive enough, it's the same issue as those finding it too sensitive. The problem in reality is that it's ridiculously sensitive, and as your finger presses down on the screen, it's sometimes reading that as an attempt to swipe/scroll rather than a tap/press, which is why you see things light up still, but not launch.
This is frustrating me more and more as time goes on. I've tried this, which I can tell adjusts some of these settings but doesn't really make much difference for the problem. I've also tried this, which didn't help any after calibration.
Some people have speculated (or confirmed, for all I know) that this can be adjusted via the kernel. Does anybody know of anything that might help with this? It's so sensitive it's making me want to avoid the damned thing. I'm about ready to restore the stock ROM and give it to my sister as an early Christmas present.
The awesomeness that is Hashcode is working on 3.0 kernel over in the dev section. The kernel is still a work in progress and has come a long way. At the end he is apparantly going to update the touchscreen driver. I hope that will fix any said issues.
