[Q] Annoying multitouch - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yeah so there's been no development on this issue, so I'm wondering if any of the devs are looking at the atmel drivers for multi touch to see what the problem is... 10 fingers all at once doesn't work on the tablet, but it works fine on any other device I've ever used.
I know pushisticky thought there was an issue with the suppress function in the drivers, so maybe look there?

I have the same issue. I tested using "multitouch vis test" app. I can only touch with 3 fingers. Weird....

Same here, multi touch above 3 fingers doesn't work... Very annoying while playing games. Should i return it ?

I truely mean no offense, but, what benefit would having all 10 of my fingers on the screen at the same time have? I really don't know what I would/could use it for.

The real question would be "what benefit would having more than 3 fingers on the screen at the same time have?"
And the answer would be "a lot of things!"
The issue here isn't 10 finger multi touch. It's 3 or more.

BTW the exact thing happens on my nexus 4 in the mutltitest app . but I use GMD gesture controls on my nexus 10 that works perfectly with 4 fingers etc
So is it an android 4.2.1 issue or an app issue maybe

It isn't an app issue, because i enabled "show touches" and "show pointer location" in the developer options (can be enabled by tapping "model number" 5 times) so i think it is an Android 4.2.1 issue... I hope that it will be resolved in Android 4.2.2

I wondered this myself when I first noticed the problem... but the fact that I can't do so kinda bothers me... lol
In any case, as mentioned already, it can be 3 or more fingers that cause problems.

Hmm... I just ran the multi touch vis app to see for myself, and I'm showing response for all 10 fingers?

Keep playing with it.. I can get 10 fingers to work too. Then I can just put three, or four back on and the bug kicks in.. There really is no fool proof method to get the bug to kick in. It's random, and no rhyme or reason to it.. But it does exist on all devices I'm almost certain.

You're right, I should have ran more than just one test before responding. Although I'm not quite sure what functionality it brings being able to use 10 fingers? Not being condescending or anything, I was just wondering what real world use it has?

The main problem is that it even happens with 3+ fingers.

I had the same problem with a couple of apps in the play store, but then found "Yet Anther MultiTouch Test" by Real Fiction Factory and that picks up all ten of my fingers.
Think the problem must be the apps in question are not optimised for either the N10 or 4.2.1?

I am really confused now... I tested the multitouch and now 10 finger multitouch is working, yesterday it wasn't.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium HD app

As stated earlier, the bug is that it'll pick up all the points and then suddenly not do it anymore. I found that when its picking up all 10 then start tapping with all fingers and after about the 5th tap it won't pick up more than 2.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

I've found how to get it work: put your fingers one by one on the screen while you keep moving them, then 10 finger multitouch should work. I'll make a video to prove it.

Google maps three point touch

Ok so u was messing with maps and I remembered with I'm ipod three point touch changes the angle of view so I tried it on my phone... wouldn't you know it works
The weird part is.... my kernel doesn't support 3+ multitouch nor was it flashed in cwm 2.5.0.5 so... maybe the patch is useless
Edit. Tried multitouch test and I'm only getting two touches
Before I could get up to 10

[App] xda premium

I am surprised no one has brought it up yet here. Running great on my evo! Loads everything properly, which the free app waant for me. Loads it a little faster too so far! Hopefully they release more themes. Only negative is it doesn't seem to hide the status bar.

If you use your phone's search button within the App, you can successfully search? I get immediate FC and many have the same problem.
I'm more curious about the other FCs - that others have seen as well - when doing something random like changing a page or viewing an attached image. Seems like it happens most when the app has been open for a while. Can almost expect it at times. Might have to check this premium version out, didn't even know it WAS out! Thanks.

No problem.
I have never had any force closes doing anything? lucky i guess haha.
I can't help you with the search though, the rom i use has it disabled apparently.. didn't know that!

I fully agree with you with my HTC Vision running stock froyo.
Search is a 100% FC.
To avoid the other type I have always to get out the topic and exiting XDA App, before minimizing/doing something else.
Is this version solving?
I'll probably buy it just to support xda. However every single time I back out of a topic after I have been out if the app for a few mins or the next time I open it, I always get a force close. Every single time I can replicate it. I have to restart the app so it wont force close
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I cant tell you... i never got these fcs... i must have a magic phone. I am flashing another rom haha. So i will tell you if search causes fc soon.
Edit: the search button does nothing at all now... lol
It's a good looking app... also Ad-free! Only available for a limited time.. so for a dollar, may as well get it while you can.

Xda app

Shame the XDA app forces closed on Xoom... does anyone have a workaround?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
this is a known issue and hopefully someone is working on it.
Tapatalk is basically the same app and works fine
i have the same and I paid for the app.......is anybody actively fixing this?
I have been using the XDA app since day 1. The only thing I have found I have to do is exit fully when done. I.e. I hit the back button till the app closes. If I leave it open for any significant time in the background it either gets stuck on the splash or whatever page I was on last. At that stage I force close and reopen it.

for some unknown reason the app works fine on the verizon xoom, but FCs for wifi-only; someone reported the same problem on the wifi-only transformer, so its got something to do with honeycomb without mobile data (some kind of id# or something?)

Wow. Really? So THAT'S why it crashes on tablets? I had always assumed it had something to do with the resolution being much higher than on a phone, but since you say the Verizon XOOM works, that blows that theory out of the water... I am going to see if my superiors have any idea why this is happening or if they can contact Tapatalk to fix the problem.
Fyi this problem does not exist on tapatalk.. has to do with something xda does differently

I have the Verizon xoom as well and I never had a force close. It does act weird sometimes, but it does on my nexus one as well.

Also goes along with what I've heard in the past... From what I've read, Tapatalk's standard client used to have this issue, but then it was fixed. Perhaps the XDA app can be rebased to the newer Tapatalk.
I have had no FC's on my WiFi only Canadian MZ604.
What I do have, though, is a weird scrolling issue on certain threads where the text will copy itself onto every pixel it crosses until I stop scrolling and the screen refreshes.
I did note that it seems to happen mostly with hyperlinked text. Another possibility is text that has had it's color changed. Will have to play around with it some more to confirm this.
i just use the browser now. Its no big deal with the bigger screen.
It would FC on my Nook Color as well, which is wifi only. I was hoping for a better experience once I got my Xoom wifi (I also got the paid app) but it behaves exactly the same: as soon as I log in it FCs.

This happens to me on both xda and tapatalk, I think its a combo of hyperlinks and long texts... weird thing is, it happens in quoted text too, but not in the post that quotes the text

I would agree with you, but vBulletin forums (like XDA) are unacceptably laggy in typing posts on the Xoom.
That, and it's good to have options.

how NOT to show off your phone

So I pulled out my phone today at a bar and was doing some reading.
Someone next to me was like, "WHOA BIG PHONE" and next thing you know, I have 5 people surrounding me @@ing at the Note.
So I'm flipping around, and someone says, 'Can you show a video?' and I'm like 'Sure!'
So I go into app folders (I have tons of apps, so it's all sorted out). click on gallery. Not found. What? Oh - I had ROMed to ICS two days ago.
Click on Videos. Not found. Great.
Clicking around folders trying to find the new video player and everyone left thinking, 'Gee, this phone is sure hard to use' and dispersed. oops.
I did, yet again, get the 'it's a little computer' comment - I think it's because of the folders/subdirectories I use in app folders.

HTC One lacking Multi touch department.

So I was trying to play O2jam on my phone and for some reason i kept missing the notes so i thought i'd investigate it.
turns outs the phone is only capable of registering TWO fingers at most.
quite disappointing if you ask me...even my old Galaxy s II can handle more than that.
now i cant play my favourite game
Update:
It turns out disabling the "htc gestures" under the settings solves the problem
I tested using multitouch tester and it registered up to ten fingers. Don't know what you're talking about.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
It takes a lot for me to facepalm... But you just earned it!
Please do a search or read the manual! Just disable "htc gestures" in the settings to register more than 2.

my bad, just got my device, maybe my excitement has gotten the better of me.
still it brings to mind, HTC gestures which is mostly used for the media link is a very stupid out of box enabled feature, it cripples ten point touch for the sake media link that most users will not buy
disabling it will bring up full touch, but like you can see it can be confusing to some
