Screen sensitivity

[sc32valve]

I feel that the screen is a lot less sensitive than my Droid 2. I have to apply reasonable pressure to get it to respond, especially using the on-screen keyboard which is honestly sucking at this point.

It also doesn't seem to support multi-touch like my D2 did. I have to completely release the previous letter before moving on to the next one.

Calibrate it.

There is no option to calibrate. I'm honestly getting extremely frustrated with how crappy the on-screen keyboard is. I need to post a video of the difference in speed using the on-screen keyboard on a D2 and TB. Night and day.

Sorry. My mistake. I was thinking of calibrating the actual keyboard. Short answers cuz I'm at work.

My apologies.

No worries. I'm just getting that feeling in the pit of my stomach that I just won't be able to deal with the delay in the on-screen keyboard.

So here's something weird. After being on my tbolt for a while I decided to take my wife's tbolt and add certain apps and tweak for batt etc. I immediately noticed that her screen is def not as responsive as mine. On mine, I truly love it! The sensitivity is so good that sometimes it feels as if a button would get pressed just from me hovering over it without touching the screen. On my wife's I really have to apply too much pressure in order to register a press of a button or to swipe the home screens left or right.

I also went into recalibrate screen and it didn't help and I also reset calibration and it didn't help.

What to do?

Green laser I am with you sometimes I think my screen lets me tap with just hovering, I believe we are seeing that ALL devices are not built a like.

I think this thread is onto something. Here are my findings:

It seems to me that the longer the phone has been "up" without a reboot. The less sensitive the screen gets. My phone will go from being able hover over a button to push it, to having to firmly and slowly press a button. At that point I do a restart and it is fixed. Try to see if this is the case for your guys too.

I am with you...I can hover and it'll type. That's both good and bad sometimes.

I'll go on record as having a super sensitive screen too.

I've got a hover screen too - and it is annoying. That should be a software fix, no?

At least it's good to know I'm not the only one - that means there's a chance they will fix it.

On the keyboard mine will almost anticipate the letter. Just move my finger over the letter. On other screens I sometimes have to tap 3 or 4 times on somethings.

The non physical buttons on the bottom too are a bit of a pain. Holding the phone in one hand I sometimes find that I hit the search button often without intending on it.

Anyway to fix the keyboard issue? Mine does the same the more I text it will slow down. Very ignoring. Anyone try another keyboard from the market?

You should get a battery for it.

I've noticed there is a lag and decreased sensitivity on mine when it's plugged in and the battery gets to 99%. As soon as I unplug it, it goes back to being really sensitive.

That's the only issue I've found with mine so far, and it's a minor one.

I'm on my second thunderbolt so far. The first one had a really stiff on/off button. Now on the second thunderbolt On the bottom right of the screen under the search button i hold down right there and the corner of the screen discolors. Now its not just because it's a touch screen i tried it on two of my friends Thunderbolts & my GF's and they don't do it. :'(
