Guest bruoli Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Hey, hello at all from Hamburg in Germany. I have got one big problem with the touch input of my Hero. The screen is too sensitive. I can navigate on the screen while my finger is about 5 cm away from it. I can choose what I want, but the screen takes the right horizontal position of my finger, but not the vertical. Anything I want to take, the screen takes the one on the bottom of the screen. The same when I want to write a message or something like this. I choose the "W" or "E", but the screen takes the "X" or "C". If the display goes on Standby and I wake it again, everything is good for a few seconds, but than the same mistake comes again. I already tried to wipe and install a new MCR, but nothing helps. I think, but I am not sure, that I have that problem after I have installed the htc keyboard on android 2.1, as I tried it for a few hours. Could somebody help me or have an idea, what is the cause for my problem?

Guest Arthur Hucksake Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Have you tried running the keyboard calibration? Under settings > locale and text > touch input > text input and right at the bottom calibration tool. I have to do this after every restore otherwise its just terrible.

Guest pulser Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 looks like defective hardware to me. i'd try to get a replacement. Yeah. I recognise the issue there, I think. Essentially there is something wrong with your screen. From an electronics perspective, the phone measures the capacitance across the glass, in a large number of 'segments', each acting like an individual capacitor. The inside of the screen includes an Indium Tin-Oxide 'backing' that forms half of the capacitors. By touching the glass, yout finger acts as a semi-earthed 'other plate' of the capacitor. There is therefore a capacitance across this 'portion' of the screen which is used to determine the touch position (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen#Capacitive for a simple explanation that's better than I can put it in words). Your issue sounds like too high a voltage is on the internal plate, so the finger doesn't need to be nearly as close to the glass to act as a plate in the capacitor. Bottom line is that, unless you're in a very metallic environment, or have a metal finger, something's up with your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
