Touchscreen Problems.


Recommended Posts

I made a video for this. The capacitive screen is giving me problems. Particularly when playing games (fps's with the 2 joysticks on either side of the screen.)

Is it just mine?

Moving the right affects the left( see video) way too much to even consider gaming. They also seem to "snap" to each other taking a couple cm of movement to move that point again.

ALSO, some spots on the screen are more sensitive then others registering a touch half a cm above the screen while other spots need a hard press.

I did calibrate using Module ap.apk. Firmware version is 1.7.0.15 and config is 1.7.0.5, if this helps..

Is there an updated firmware maybe?

Anyway watch the video I'm finding this really hard to explain...

Does yours do this?

Not sure about your problem but I certainly have a problem where it will take a single touch and interpret it as a pinch - so in Acrobat or kindle instead of turning a page it zooms as you swipe across the page (or fails to do anything and then skips a load of pages at once...) so there is certainly something dodgy with the screen - I just hope it is a software glitch.

I am going to contact malata about this issue. My friend speaks fluent chinese. Depending on the answer mines going back.

Anyone know how to find out the touchscreen model? I will try and track down some newer firmware. I am also going to ask for the source code..

i had that problem aswell and now my touchscreen doesn't accept touches at all, totally dead. Just stuck on the lock screen not able to do anything.

Yes I calibrated with a clean screen and with no power plugged in.

Yes I calibrated using that app.

Yes I tried my test with and without power.

Unfortunately I think my screen is bad. I will probably return and just buy the adam once preorder 2 is out.. It really seems to live up to the ipad which I have to admit has flawless hardware..

I am a bit sad though cos I have a 1366x768 screen, 512 ram AND a 3g module in the mail (3g Pulled from a broken pioneer computers dreambook)... But I will swap out the screen if I do end up buying an adam AND the ram and module I will probably just give away to someone here who is willing to take the risk and put them to good use...

Unfortunate, because I do like this tablet, but I do have to admit its very cheaply made...

Maybe someone can show me a video of their screen WORKING in a multitouch tester and make me change my mind? I can always get a replacement rather than a refund.. lol. It's just, I do a LOT of android gaming otherwise I would keep this.

apart from one dead pixel in the middle of the screen which is not big deal, had worse with some laptops etc, work fine for me, haven't used any calibration apps as yet either build 1.8 came pre installed, could just be an early version or faulty screen or apps etc

have you tried a fresh install, recovery etc the one thats built in etc, did wonders for me when i first started messing about with it when i first had it yesterday, installed all types of junk on it just to see what they did, didn't know how to delete the files at that time so after i messed about a bit more just did a complete restore which deleted the lot for me :lol:
