Hi there!
I'm having issues while coding for my Evo. While touching the screen, the Evo interprets me touching the buttons as another press on the screen instead of a onKeyDown, onBackPressed, etc. (It actually sets the MotionEvent pointer count to 2, and I can get the co-ords that I'm touching that are off the main screen, for example, 830*190 when touching the back button.)
Short of coding in the locations of the buttons (which would be different for every phone with capacitive buttons, if they all have the same issue), is there any way to get around this? Does anyone else have this issue with a different capacitive buttoned device?
The nexus has the same problem. It seems that the buttons are a extension of the actual screen. Multitouch doesn't support more than 2 touches on HTC phones. And even that is problematic because the phone registers actualy one big touch and determines the fluctuations in its size. So if you want to pinch to zoom for example the phone will compare the size of the touch between your fingers. Basically you've got a hardware limitation and there's nothing you can do about it.

Anyone feel the same with their GT10.1? I feel like sometimes I really need to press on an icon to make it launch or swipe really hard to get it to move.
Is there a way to increase the sensitivity? Anyone else notice this too?
It's not a huge problem just a minor annoyance. It just doesn't seem snappy.
I've noticed that about mine too. Nothing major but an annoyance nonetheless.

When I tried the Asus Transformer that's what I found, needed more pressure than I expected for it to register. My 10.1 seems fine, responds to very light touches nicely.
Is there a calibration setting somewhere?
I find myself hitting everything twice. First time it doesn't register, next time I push harder. My XOOM screen is more sensitive. Guess I'm too used to that. This effects swiping in the browser too. Its hard to push gently to move a page up and down. I have to push harder and then every once in a while the page ends up scrolling at high speed all the way to the top or bottom.
It seems to me that I just need to get used to using the larger capacitive touch screen. When first using a smaller touch screen everyone begins to realize what part of their finger is actually touching the screen. I don't know if the screen is any more or less sensitive but I've been getting better at using this larger screen and noticing which part of my finger actually making contact and where.
Ill tell you 1 thing for sure, this thumb keyboard is amazing! I think I might actually like it better than swype! You can really type quick and the auto correct works very Well!

Here is some evidence that the sensitivity problems with the screen may be hardware/software related.
After a hard reset the screen appears to be very sensitive.
After an hour screen sensitivity seems to drop.
BUT there is something else going on - at the same time, after a hard reset my Targus capacitive stylus works normally on the Tabs screen.
At the time when the screen sensitivity seems to drop, the Targus stylus stops working. It can no longer be used to swipe the screen or scroll the browser. Finger swipe and scroll still works however.
Now why would the Targus stylus suddenly stop working, unless there is a real change in the capacitive sensitivity of the TAB 10.1 screen such that it falls below the threshold necessary to operate/detect the stylus?
The touchscreen on the Tab 10.1 definitely isn't as accurate or sensitive as the Xoom. I had both side by side for a few days before I returned my Xoom and you can definitely tell the difference.
However, I'll take the Galaxy's screen over the Xoom just from a contrast/color reproduction standpoint, so I guess there are pluses and minuses to everything.

Apparently Tegra 2 is not able to cope with all of the open tasks,live widgets,and have enough power left to make the immediate switch to a larger screem's touch commands.

I have a XOOM as well, and it handles multitasking just fine. There is no hesitation or lack of screen sensitivity at all. I pulled it out this morning and was amazed at how much smoother the user experience is. You tap once - the screen responds - on my GTAB 10.1 I have to conciously think about every click and half the time I still have to do it twice.
Hi, I just got my Nook Color a few days ago and am loving it! However, I got it as a refurb, so I'm paranoid about it having any issues. I noticed that sometimes when I hold it a certain way (with my thumb on the bezel while the nook is upside down) I get orange ripples in the screen (kind of like what happens when you poke a monitor). Is this normal?
Also, does the screen only do multitouch with 2 fingers max?
Thanks!

I've noticed that if the light from my LCD monitor hits the Nook screen at certain angles I see colored bands on the Nook screen.
Not sure about the orange ripples unless it's caused by polarized light like from an LCD.
As far as I know only two fingers work for multitouch.
Sorry slightly off track, but what is multitouch and how does it work? Thanks.

Controlling your device screen with more than 1 finger at a time
i.e. pinch to zoom - has multi touch x 2
Nook Color is limited to 2 touch points - The latest design that I'm aware of - on most Tegra 2 tablets - is 10 points of contact to control the screen ( there's a microprocessor that gives the screen functionality ). That's really only needed for gaming though - as far as I can guestimate.
Games like fruit ninja - or 2 player games where a 2 people might be using the tablet at once to control the screen can use more than 2 points of contact to enhance gameplay.
I have a Vega running VegaComb 1.7 and using a USB mouse I cannot fault it it is as fast as any honeycomb tablet I've used! However, using touchscreen, takes 2 or 3 taps on some icons (mainly 3 touch buttons on bottom left of screen) and going from homescreen to homescreen is nearly impossible it's too jumpy!!
I have used the calibrate app and it doesnt improve it :-( any suggestions?
My nexus 7 has a small crack making the top inch or so of the screen unresponsive. generally this isn't too much of a problem as i can just rotate the screen however some apps/games require touching both sides of the screen at the same time and obviously this is not possible.
I have tried to use a mouse to click on the unresponsive section while using my fingers on the rest of the screen but the device doesn't register both inputs at the same time so although the mouse allows me to reach the unresponsive section i am unable to do press anywhere else at the same time, this makes anything that requires multi-touch impossible.
Is there a way to do this or am i going to have to get a new tablet?
