I'm curious how sensitive is the touchpad supposed to be on the ouya? Sometimes mine seems like all you need is a little tap, when other times i am having to bash it to recognize a tap on it. is this normal or is it a sign of bad things to come? Also is there a test like the joystick test for the touchpad?
thanks
I have the same problem, I'm pretty sure it's normal behaviour. Kinda annoying when browsing, at times.
The touchpad is small and there is no boundary for where to start and stop. So sometimes you hit it and sometimes you don't. Almost needs some physical indication of the borders. I suggested some tape or something. Just to give feedback for your finger.
It also isn't that sensitive.

on my G2 the trackpad is horrible sometimes it takes up to 3 swipes to get it to register a swipe this only applies when using the trackpad to scroll up and down,left to right work fine maybe im not doing something correctly maybe theres a way to calibrate the pad but ATM i dont know what to do...is anybody else experiencing this?is it wide known?should i get another G2?

I've had it with the issues. I also have the trackpad issue, plus signal dropping all the time, even when just sitting on my table. Sometimes it drops completely and signal does not come back, even enabling and disabling airplane mode. I have to reboot the phone to be able to lock on to a signal. Also, my hinge is too loose. Even while using it in car, a slight bump on the road makes the screen close over my fingers. I'm calling for a replacement today.

Mine is working fine. I have noticed that it moves by itself when I'm in bright sunlight, or in a car and the sun is going behind trees, it will move the selection around my screen. A little annoying but almost never happens.
If my finger is sticky or sweaty it makes it harder for it to read my swipes. But with a clean dry hand it works almost perfectly. Too bad it doesn't register diagonal swipes.
If you hold the shift (arrow up) key down while in a text window, you will get an arrow cursor for your trackpad. It's a good way to test it out because you can see exactly how it moves.
As far as calibrating it... No way to do so that I know of.
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 responds verry good, i dont actually have to touch the screen, holding my finger above it also works (so yeah its damn sensitive)

same for me
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.
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.
I have an issue on any rom including stock where my screen likes to pick up presses in other places besides where I touch or sometimes where I touch AND another place, does anyone else have that issue and/or is there a fix for it?
We are legion, for we are many
you should check the application that you are running, I installed several applications that are not meant for KF and the screen format is not right for KF, so when I touch certain area the respond is not there
It does it on stock and cm7 and 9 its certain areas like lower left in portrait mode touches there and top left and on keyboard it touches all over unless I press firmly but not long otherwise it pulls up a diff symbol or letter its pretty annoying sometimes I'll have to flip it around from portrait to landscape to opposite landscape just to type stuff in with out errors I'm pretty sure its something wrong with the screen itself cuz it does it on all roms all apps all keyboards and the presses are consistently in the same wrong spot :-/ I've tried different kernels roms keyboards etc, I'm not a noob by any means I dev for the evo and have been writing code for over a decade I was just wondering if anyone else had the same issues and if it was hardware or software related

its the cheap POS touch panel Amazon/Lab126 used on the fire. One of the MAJOR compaints about it. Sorry. I know some devs are looking for a way to adjust the touch screen sampling.
I figured it was hardware related since it does it on everything I've tried I wonder if I lowered the sensitivity of the touch interface if that would reduce the errant touches

Just something that was never mentioned in reviews (or at least personally never saw it anywhere).
Noted this after playing around with the SoundCamp app, mucking around with the "drums" section.
The screen adapts to "hard" and "soft" taps within the app using fingers only without the S-Pen (there is no "range" between light and hard). I don't know if other applications take advantage of this, have not tested others.
Could it be using the accelerometer to pick up the vibrations caused by your taps?

The touch events include force, angle, and radius values where supported by the hardware, the accelerometer would also work but perhaps not as well since hands would dampen or enhance the values in strange ways depending on how you hold the tablet.
You mean Tab S3 got inbuilt support for force touch?
Here I thought the title was making a joke about the screen being sensitive to high velocity impacts such as drops or being thrown across the room. :cyclops:
This feature is even in iPads. In GarageBand, when you slowly tap on a piano key, it plays softer. If you tap faster, it plays louder. It's not about 3D Touch.
