Sometimes when I'm using gesture typing, it won't recognize that I'm doing a gesture and won't create the blue trail to indicate the gesture type. It will just type the letter that the swype started on. It's really frustrating. Is this a known issue? Has this happened to anyone else?
It happens sometimes... But I think it's because it takes a little bit to recognise the touch, just keep pressing a bit more before moving your finger. It will get "fixed" I'm sure.

Just picked up my epic this weekend. Very happy so far. Unfortunately somehow my virtual keyboard is non responsive. It pops up as it should whenever entering text input mode while in profile view.... however if I try to use it as swype or hunt and peck its like I am not touching the. Screen at all. Therefore I am forced to use. The hardware keyboard for text entry.
I figure this must be operator error because the touch screen works great for everything else. Hopefully someone can give me a clue on what I did wrong..... thanks.
Mine does this alot if the screen ia dirty.

I'm having a problem with writing text messages.
When in a certain conversation, I start to type using the Hardware keyboard, and after a few words the screen just jumps up in a few stages - first I can't see the Attachment button, then the Send button semi-disappears, and then I'm in the middle of the conversation and can't see the typing window anymore.
This is driving me crazy, and worst part - it doesn't always happen! I can't understand in which situation it happens and when it doesn't.
Some more information:
Stock 2.2 firmware and stock messaging application
Using AnySoftKeyboard
Urmm, when writing this message I just noticed that even if I don't type anything, the screen jumps up. meaning I just went into a conversation, put the phone aside to write this message on the forum, and came back finding the screen has jumped up the conversation instead of displaying the typing window.
I was told on another forum that this was discussed on XDA but I can't find anything, any lead would be great. thanks
It would help if you said which stock ROM you are referring to, there are several, depending on your phone sub-model, carrier, region, etc.

ok yeah there's a discussion about this issue in the thread wileykat linked. thanks
From what I understand it has to do with light hitting the trackpad. This happens to me, but only in certain spots in certain rooms.
Like it always happens when I lean back in my chair at my desk, which happens to expose my phone to the ceiling fan. When the light is on is when I get the crazy scrolling which leads me to believe there's some truth in this.

It's the trackpad. Try typing that same message away from a direct light source. Pretty sure the issue will go away. Annoying
Umm, I don't get why you guys think it's the trackpad that's causing this. cause if you are currently in the writing window of the stock HTC messaging app in landscape and hardware keyboard out, try to use the trackpad to go up/down and it won't actually go up to the conversation. so why would light hitting it do that if it's not a possibility manually?
mine does this as well, i've found one particular spot in my house where it happens. pretty sure it's light hitting the pad at the right (or wrong) angles as well.

I just tried it on my phone in the stock app and the trackpad will scroll up from the text box both in landscape and portrait..

Lately I have been experiencing a multitouch problem in my xperia play.
I was playing a touchscreen game when the controls were lagging and would get stuck on the screen. I thought it was just the game but to make sure I downloaded this multitouch tester application.
I will explain to you what you should do to replicate the problem.
1. Touch the screen with a finger (Finger A)
2. While keeping Finger A on the screen touch the screen with another finger (Finger B)
3. Do not remove finger A while tapping the screen with Finger B
4. The colors of the dots that indicate the fingers on the screen should change for Finger B after many taps with finger B the application will crash.
What is happening is that every time you remove then press Finger B while keeping Finger A pressed it thinks it is a new touch point think you have 3 or more fingers.
If you use this application to test. You will see it is giving Finger B a different ID every time it touches. This application does not Force close but it starts finger B at ID 0 when it reaches the maximum.
I did a google search and found this information.

^^ That is specific to the Xperia Play so you might want to read through it.
I may be able to get a video of it later.
You pointed me here from my keyboard problem. But my problem also occurs when I'm using just one hand. If I am just using my right thumb and press the delete key, it will sometimes register both the delete key and the button z. Same occurs for example with p and q.

but have you tried what I said about leaving 1 finger on at all times then tapping the screen with the other finger?
This can get very bad in racing games. You are holding the accelerator and tapping the brakes. Eventually the controls go crazy.
And 1 year later... I have exactly the same issue on my Sony Xperia U. After 3 taps of my second finger, multitouch didn't detect anymore my second finger.
My Xperia mini pro havn't this problem, this is very troublesome.

Lock and unlock the screen and it will sort it. Just do that every time it happens
Hi,

swipe SLOWWWWLY
First of all, have you turned it on?
And as Tew. said, swipe slowly, in one motion and dont use your whole hand, only a little bit of it.
This feature annoys me.. the only way I can get it to work is if my palm actually touches the screen, which accidentally scrolls or launches apps/buttons
I'm noticing that at times when I'm texting with the stock swype keyboard, it will input like 10 letters for every 1 that I type in.
It seems to happen when it's near any other device like a computer.
Weird.
Anyone have this? Any fix?
I notice that when I kill the messaging app and restart it, it's fine. But such a hassle.
I'm having issues every so often, where if swiping the keyboard registers about 5 different letters randomly in the path I swipe. There is definitely something up with it. I have hard reset once. It's very random, but not just typing, sometimes when surfing reddit or Google news, swiping up or down, it starts to freak out and click on links as I scroll, aggravating as...
