stylus problems

[barrycinti]

I have noticed that when using a stylus it has to be pressed hard to work. This happens with two different styli. I cleaned the screen, it made no difference. Using my finger works fine. I tried the stylus on my phone and it works fine. Any ideas?

Sorry found out if the tablet is connected to the charger you have to press harder, works fine on battery...stranger than science.

old school! no clue on why but maybe because the tab is designed to work with your finger rather than a stylus?

Are you using a capacitive stylus?

Yes, it is a bamboo captive stylus. It works great, when not charging tab

I'd suggest that you increase touchscreen sensitivity using this app: TouchScreenTune on android market.

Overall default touch screen settings are so bad, that there is no point in using stylus without tuning them - try it for yourself

I had a Targus that worked for about 6 weeks ans just stopped working. I know use a Belkin ($19 Bestbuy) and it works well and have done so for two months. Others talk about using Touchscreen Tune but I have not tried it.
