Touch screen sensitivity

Hi
Is there a way to reduce a bit the touch screen sensitivity of the Nexus
I have installed the cyanogemod 7.0 and I think the touch screen
is too sensitive for the normal use.
The cyanogemod has all the options I can imagine for the phone
but it lacks the option to properly adjust the touch screen sensitivity (and buttons).
Is there a way to reduce a bit the touchscreen sensitivity or using an application
or going to the system and change some numbers

That's capacitive screens for you, they're very sensitive.

You could try putting on a thick screen protector. Simple enough, eh?

It's funny you should say that because that was exactly what I did, Ghost Armor on the screen worked perfectly.

My touch screen has been freezing up alot

. When I'm in an app my touch screen will freeze, no input works but my screen rotation does. When I rotate my screen my input will work again or if I wait about 30 sec or more the input will unfreeze by itself. This is happening alot and its really irritating me. I have an unlocked unit (from the store) rooted. I tried to "fix permissions" but ROM manager says "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged command".
Also I cannot sync with Kies (latest) and cannot sync with Samsung account in the "account sync" in system. Any ideas and thought are helpful. Thanks.

Are you by any chance touching the screen with your other hand? I've done that a couple of times by mistake, and that will prevent the touch screen from recognizing other touches. You can touch the bezel, but not the screen itself. One reason the screen might work adter rotation is that you are moving your hands as you turn the screen. If this is not the case, please disregard my comment.

I don't think I understand. I hold the bezel with my left hand. So you think that my left hand (the one holding the bezel) is being recognized without my knowing and this is not letting my right hand inputs get recognized? Hmmmm I will have to see this, makes sense because sometimes I get a pop up menu because my left hand thumb has accidentally touched the screen. Thanks, I will keep this in mind.

Yes I believe you are right. I have been very very careful of my holding hand and I have not had the problem. Thanks.

Glad to be of help

[Q] Change/Limit Screen Size?

Unfortunately My Nexus 7(2012) screen has cracked, so the top and right hand side is unusable so i can't touch anything thats on that side of the screen so I'm constantly flipping my tablet around so i can be able to click what ever is on the untouchable side. is there a way to change limit the screen size so the screen will only show on the working part of the screen. basically the one handed/ tiny screen mode thats on the note 3?

Touch Issue with Lenovo Z2 plus

Hi
I am using lenovo Z2 plus an have been encountering problem with touch not working. The touch works for 1 second after unlocking the phone and then stops automatically. I have tried resetting the phone, installing new custom roms but in all cases touch works for some time after unlocking and then stops working. Any suggestions on what to do?

Hey guys, is there anyone who can suggest me what to do? Would really appreciate some help

I guess touch display is broken. I had the same problem after a slight drop. Screen was perfectly ok but touch was broken. I replaced the whole screen since it was easier method

I'm facing the same problem right now.
Is it working for you now? Help me fix this.

I had same problem. I found a temporary solution some where-
1. Lock phone screen.
2. Put your right thumb anywhere on screen and keep it there.
3. Now unlock your screen with right hand fingers, dont lift your left thumb from screen.
4. As long as your left thumb is on screen, it will respond normally, it ayou lift your left thumb, screen will freeze and you have to repeat all avobe steps.
I know this is very annoying, but something is better than nothing.
Well my phone screen touch worked normally itself within 1 month without any repair.

I'm not facing this problem anymore. But, touch doesn't work on top of the screen.
I did whatever you told, yet it doesn't work. Is there a solution for this?

S-Pen sensitivity FIX

For anyone that's having a problem with their s-pen such as needing to press harder on the screen just for it to register or work to scroll etc etc take the s-pen out of the phone and hold it in your hand at the top near the clicker and take your other hand and FLICK it (kind of like if you were going to flick the back of someones ear, lol) pretty good a couple of times at the bottom near the TIP and then try to see if the sensitivity changes back to the way its supposed to be like on the older Notes.. It has something to do with the spring or something in there and if you flick it a few times pretty hard it fixes the spring holding the s-pen tip and then it'll work like a charm! Obviously don't try to flick it hard enough to break it people!

Thanks a ton. This worked for me. You are awesom man.
But is this a permanent fix or will I have to keep flicking the top part frequently?

So far it seems to be permanent to me but if it ever does it again it's just a simple flick so not really a big deal.. However if it does keep on doing it I would go to Samsungs website and request a new one because that's what I did Friday and they're sending me a brand new one free of charge.. The only reason I figured it out was because I started taping it on the desk while I was on the phone unconsciously doing it and then I needed to do something on the screen and I suddenly noticed it was fixed and I no longer had to press harder directly after taping it on my desk, hahaha!!

Is it still working out for you? Mine has been working great since I did it. It's so much better now and was driving me crazy when I had to push so hard and it would still skip off like I took it off the screen when I didn't.

That's not the problem we were having ours was that we had to use too much pressure to get the pen to work and now I barely have to touch put any pressure at all before I would literally have to push the tip down pretty good for it to work and now I don't have to at all. But your suggestion might help someone else though.

I have the same problem. I barely touch anything and it's launching apps and what ever I touch. It's not just the S-Pen, but my finger too.

Go into settings and then display and check and see what your settings are set to for "accidental touch protection and touch sensitivity" that might help.. Also you need to make sure one of your hands is not accidentally on the screen wherever you're holding the phone at.

"accidental touch protection and touch sensitivity" is on - that's one of the things I always check when setting up the phone. No I'm not holding the phone wrong, it happens when I use the S-Pen or my finger.

Not sure then I don't seem to have that problem. Maybe someone else will know.

Hey I was wondering why the s pen isn't working as smooth as my note 10+
I still don't get what you did to fix it
