My screen is not responding to touch so easily anymore. Right after re-booting, looks like the mouse thinks I am pressing on the screen when I am not, and then when I touch the screen, mouse is not where I am touching.
Are there any screen calibration tricks that I can try before sending back?
Thanks
Control Panel, Tablet PC settings is where the screen calibration is.
Have you fitted a screen protector?
If so, try removing before taking the big step of sending it back.
The touch screen software can freeze!
I use the Proporta leather case which has two small spaces for SD cards in the top. I f I leave Vista running and close the case to go to the car, the touch screen stops functioning after about 2 minutes constant pressure on the same spot. Sleep and Hibernation do not help, although the startup window reacts to touches. Only restarting Vista helps.
I didn't notice the same problem on the WM side

Thanks for the screen protector suggestion. Bingo. I took it off got a response on the screen, and then re-fitted the protector and all seems to be working well.

Hello.
I have a Qtek 9000 and i would like to ask a question.
Generally the screen needs a quite soft press in a button to work.
But in my device, i need to press a bit hard whenever i want to select something in the middle of the screen.
I mean that it needs more pressure in the middle of the screen than in the rest of the screen for it to work.
Is there a problem with my device or is it normal?
Thank you!
I don't seem to have that problem :-/ a light tap will normally be detected anywhere on my screen.

Ok, thank you!
Anyone else's experience?
Do you have a screen protector? Maybe it is thick in the middle. Try taking the screen protector off. It may work.

Yes, with the protector the problem was big.
Now that i have removed it the problem is almost gone( now will be difficult not to scratch the screen without it, but i prefer to have the phone working right).
Thank you!
Try the "Fellows" screen protectors. It is thin and comes in packs of 20, I think. It is like a transparent sticker. Better than not having one.
On my Exec, I use Proporta's Screen Protector. I think it is scratch resistant. I have it on since I opened my Exec fresh from the box and it still looks brand new without any scratch on it.
Thank you, but i am afraid i will have the same problems.
I usually use Brando Screen protectors which is top quality (100% transparency) but in this case it seems that i can't do anything.
Screen Protectors
I personally don't see the use of screen protectors. I have had ~6 PPCs, have never used a single screen protector, and have never had a scratched or damaged screen.
Am I just that much more careful than everyone else? I think not! :lol:
My personal experience(after using over 15 PPC/Palm devices all these years) is that if you tend to use handwriting recognition or any other functions that require to "write" on the screen frequently, then it is virtually impossible not to scratch the screen.
The touch screen responds to continuous taps even when I don't tap it. When the keyboard is slid out, the start menu keeps on popping as if the start button on screen is being tapped. When keyboard is slid inside (device is closed), the device behaves as if the OK button (the "X" on top right) is being tapped continuously. Due to this, I can't open any program. (As soon as a program is opened, the "X" button on top right is automatically clicked and I reach Home screen again!
I uploaded a video about this mal-functioning of device:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWAyRLQ01oo
I have already:
1. Alligned screen
2. Hard reset device (Left and Right softkeys + Reset button)
3. Updated ROM and hard reset device
but of no use! Please help.
I haven't heard of a software problem causing what you're seeing on your phone. And a hard reset should have cleared that if this was the case.
Do you have a screen protector applied? If so then make sure it doesn't reach under the cover round the screen. Maybe some dirt got in between the screen edge and the cover?
If the phone is under warranty then just take it to the service centre.
maybe you have a warped case...the flexing might cause the touchscreen bezel to make contact with the screen. it may flex differently when opened/closed.
what happens if the slide is 1/2 open?

This is the most likely explanation and there was an identical case reported in this forum somewhere.

Even when its half open, the OK ("X" on top right) keeps clicking.
I'm using the same case that came with JasJam. Have attached a screen protector to the screen. Could that be the cause of problem?
I contacted imate support. They asked me to send the device. Hopefully, the problem should be solved...

before you send it in, remove the screen protector and try it again. even if it doesn't work, i wouldn't send it in w/the screen protector on anyway...
Wow! Seems the device has problems with heating up! Found this thread:

Solution: Send it back!
I had to send it back to service center. They replaced the main board! The device seems to be working fine now.
Hi,
My screen is starting to become bad in term of its sensitivity. Worst that it can't detect any tap at all right in the middle of the screen where you usually the + sign for the screen alignment.
I'm forced to do screen alignment with my thumb for all the + signs and now it's really hard to type as the screen alignment is quite messed up.
I tried to use mymobiler to do the screen alignment but it won't detect the mouse click for alignment *Sigh*
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
By me to. My Touch-Screen was damage. I send the prophet back to factory.

find a repair center or order a new screen. you can find it on ebay. its not difficult to change
. 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
Hey guys, just got LG V35 updated it to android Pie, everything seemed fine, but i can't normally unlock phone. On main screen i can double tap and it locks, however double tapping again, doesn't unlock phone, as if screen froze. Also fingerprint button doesn't work either, i mean i need to press it twice slowly and only then screen turns on and shows lock screen, always on display also doesn't work. After simple restart those features work, but after a minute, same thing happening again. Also noticed, that if someone calls, screen is also unresponsive. Got phone couple days ago. Any solution ?

i had the same issue when i got mine. i think the screen protector i installed was the issue-it only had adhesive around the the edge and started to come off. i returned that one and replaced it with another make and haven't had the "knock on/off" issue since. good luck

I agree with tomdi1999 and also have used the adhesive around the edge screen protector but they interfered with screen touch sensitivity, it is as if having a couple of fingers touching the screen permanently while trying to double tap or unlock the phone via power button. If you have any glass screen protector, try removing the screen protector and double tap again to see if it fixes the issue. If you are not wanting to remove the screen protector first and want to do some troubleshooting, try run touch screen test via the hidden menu (assuming your v35 is AT&T version) by dialing *#546368#*350# (Be warned that some options in this menu can really mess up your phone so don't go around messing with options in this menu randomly) in the phone dialer. In hidden menu select Device Test -> SAAT -> Service Menu - Manual Test -> Touch Draw Test. If, with screen protector on you are having trouble doing this test, remove the screen protector, clean the screen, and do the test again. If you still have trouble with touch screen it is probably a hardware problem or could be software problem but unlikely though. Also, place a test call to someone and slowly place your hand to cover the ear piece and proximity sensor area to see if screen goes dark. This is to check if your proximity sensor is working properly because if it is not then it could be the reason that double tap to wake is not working, although it doesn't explain why your power button is responding slowly, that points toward the phone processor being busy due to ghost touches such as due to bad screen protector or just a faulty power button (but what are the chances of having a faulty power button and double tap to wake going bad at the same time lol?).
I remember that years back on LG G4 double tap function would stop working if you had the screen replaced or sent in the phone to LG for repairs such as repair for notorious bootloop issues and it turned out that there was a small rubber piece that went around the proximity sensor that people were forgetting to put back when replacing screen or doing other repairs which basically broke the proximity sensor. Proximity sensor is suppose to disable screen wake up due to accidental double taps such as when phone is in pocket but if proximity sensor is malfunctioning it will not let phone wake even when you double tap to wake it.
If you figure out what was wrong and/or fixed your issue, please do post back so it can help others. Thanks.
Edit: If you are looking for a good screen protector try Skinomi or Armor Suit wet screen protectors. They are not glass and are a pain to put on but once you install them and let them dry, they are awesome.
It helped me thanks a million!
wouldn't think ever it was the screen protector, thought one of my apps...
I've removed it and it was back to normal.
thanks again
