About my touch screen...

I have a 32GB iPod touch 4, and sometimes when i try to touch something on the screen it will act as if I'm touching somewhere else. Like if I touched my settings on the bottom it would instead click weather at the top of the screen. When this happens it kinda freaks out on me when i'm typing and the screen goes crazy clicking random letters. Is this a common problem, and is there any way to fix it?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Have you tried all of these?

My touch screen is not responding while viewing a video after update OS 3.0

After upgrading to 3.0 I can't access the video controls by taping the screen while it's playing. I've tapped all over the screen and nothing. They appear just as the video plays but after they go away I can't get them back. If I want to stop playing the video I need to hit home and close the app. This happens in YouTube, videos and video podcasts. The touch screen works fine in all other apps.

Ok- after thinking about it and noticing another post about the touch screen being less responsive in 3.0, I wiped the screen down with my shirt and found that it started working better. So I cleaned the glass with glass cleaner and it works like before. I guess they made it a little harder to accidentally select something on the screen when you didn't mean to. So any buildup of dirt or oils from your fingers will interfere with the electrostatic touch screen. Hopefully problem solved.

Portege M750 Touch screen issues

I have a Portege M750 that has been upgraded to Windows 7. It came with Vista. The digitizer portion of the screen works fine but the touch portion does not. I did a complete fresh reinstall. I cleared the cache and the temp files and downloaded the driver.
The touch portion still does not work. Does anyone else have an idea, or helpful hints. Is there a way to figure out the original configuration through Toshiba?

Touch Screen never worked on LX835-D3203

I have never been able to get my touch screen to actually work as a touch screen. Is there some software download I need in order to get it to work? I bought this in Sept 2012 and didn't find a need for the touch feature, but am now interested in getting it to work.

What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

I understood. Emphasizing that this is still a guess, when you touch the screen it compares your fingerprint at that time to the one you originally recorded. The fact that the finger is warmer may have a small effect on the fingerprint making it appear different than the original colder one. Temperature differences cause things to expand and contract and that may be having an effect on the comparison. You could try recording a fingerprint after doing what you are doing and then see if it will be recognized when you do the same thing to log into the phone. I know that prior to iOS 7.1 for a few minutes after I would wash my hands the phone had difficulty recognizing the fingerprint. Don't know if it was temperature or moisture that caused the temporary change induced by the hand washing. That improved with version 7.1 I think.

Problem push and hold on a Surface Pro tablet's touch screen

Hi,
I tried posting this before, but I can't find my origional post so I hope I'm not spamming accidentally.
I have a problem with my program on a Windows 8.1 Surface Pro tablet. I programmed a button to be 'push-and-hold', but when I touch the tablet nothing happens until I release my finger. This briefly controls the button. When I connect a USB mouse to the tablet, it responds normally; when I press the left mouse button: the button in my program goes down until I release the mouse button. I tried about every setting in the Touch section of the Windows control panel without any succes.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

Why did my brand new Ipod 5g 32gb touch screen stop working?

So I got this ipod from the Genius Shop for about a month. A few days ago when IOS 7.1 came out, I updated it. However, the ipod seems to lag a little. Today, I was charging my ipod and for some reason, when I turn it on, the touch screen stop working (the ipod is in perfect condition). The home button, volume button and the on/off button all works fine except for the touch screen. I want to restore everything on my computer, but I can't get pass the lock screen (the touch screen seems to stop working). I just can't do anything on this ipod anymore beside turning it on and off. I can't even power it off because the touch screen is no longer touchable. So how can I restore everything, or do something about this ipod to work again. Can I still take this back to the Genius Shop and get another one without additonal charge?

If the reset does not work try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HP Spectre 13 touch screen malfunction

The touchscreen on my Ultrabook malfunctions in a seemingly random fashion.
It appears to randomly and independently trigger the touchscreen in a clearly visible vertical line about two thirds of the way across the screen.
The screen reacts as if it has been touched with a finger - but it has not.
Because these 'ghost' touches are so rapid, it completely trashes whatever I am trying to do at the time as the cursor moves to these random locations and it triggers the opening of mutliple additional webpages, changes to font sizes and screen resolution and prevents me from useing the mouse to try and close down webpages etc. The touchscreen malfunction is visible in all applications.
The only way to stop it is to press the power button until the laptop switches off.
I am not aware of a definite trigger, although at times I may have been trying to click on something with the mouse in the area where this 'flaw' appears to be located.
When I first got the laptop I thought it was some really grim virus and spent ages running and re-running scans,until I made the connection with the touch screen.
Then I wondered if it was something to do with particles or dust and spent ages cleaning the screen - but it happens when there is no visible contamination on the screen at all.
Has anyone else experience this?

Hi @Abby501
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having some trouble with your touchscreen. I am happy to assist.
It is hard to know, as yet, what the actual problem is: sensitivity, drivers, hardware, other software, etc. Please post the full product number. See the following, if you need help in finding that.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
For now, you can see if you can try to adjust the touchscreen settings and see if it helps:
Press the Windows key which brings up the Start Screen
type "touch screen"
Click Settings
Select "Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input"
Select and configure as desired
Let me know if that helped.

How do I turn off the tiny Shuffle-sized iPod Nano (v6 with a touch screen) when not using its iOS?

Hello and happy new year.
I decided to use this used iPod Nano (touch screen) as an eight/8 GB flash disk/storage (FAT32). I can access the files just fine. I can always restore it back to use iOS quickly and easily if needed.
However, it never seems to turn off/sleep. I tried holding down the big button on top right (next to the two volume controls [+ and -]), but it never does anything. Also, it says "OK to disconnect." when disconnected.
So, I restored its iOS v1.2 from an old 15" MacBook Pro (2008; Mac OS X 10.5.8) onto it and can turn off easily. However, I cannot access its drive since it is not a MS FS and Windows XP Pro. SP3 asked me to format. How can I turn it off and still use it as an 8 GB USB flash disk/drive without installing and using iTunes?
Thank you in advance.

Hey,
Holding in the play/pause and the menu (select) button will force the iPod into disk mode. This is the stand by mode you are talking about.
To turn your iPod off properly you will want to hold down the play/pause button until the screen goes blank and then turn the hold switch on. This is cause the iPod to go to the Apple screen when it turns back on.
Hope this helps,
Ms D.

Press and hold on a Surface pro touch screen

Hi,
I am having some problems with my Surface Pro, trying to control a relay 'press-and-hold'. When I connect a mouse to the Tablet, Windows registers the left mouse up and down events perfectly, allowing the user to control the relay exactly the way I intended, but when I use the touch screen with either the stylus pen or my finger it only seems to press the LabVIEW on release.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

I just tested this on my touchscreen laptop and got a similar behavior. Windows doesn't seem to be registering the left click when you touch the screen until you release. My guess is that this is related to the press+hold for right click functionality on Windows. When I touch and hold for over a second, I get a right click, but when I touch and hold for a shorter time, I get a left click that only registers when I take my finger off. This is consistent with the way that the Windows UI handles touch as well (test the start button for an example).
Interestingly, if I change the mechanical action of the LabVIEW boolean to 'Switch Unit Released' I can't actually toggle the button ever because the press and hold does not register as a left click, and eventually registers as a right click.

Actually, this is expected behavior. Try clicking a button on any Windows app, then, while holding down the button, move off of it. The button does not register as pressed. This feature has saved me any number of times.
edit:
Or do you mean it doesn't even depress the button?

Yoga 13 - Touch-screen swipe gestures CONSISTENTLY don't work first time

This is a consistent and very repeatable issue that I would really like to be resolved, and I know that it can be resolved.
Whenever I do a gesture from the side after not touching the screen for more than 4 seconds, it doesn't work. It instead registers it as a swipe on the screen near the edge. This is very annoying. It happens constantly.
I suspect this may be the result of a power-saving feature. Maybe the touch-screen turns off after a few seconds and needs to be awoken by tapping it before swiping in from the side. If this is the case, then please up the timer from 3 or 4 seconds to more like 30 or 60. This ruins the smooth flow of Windows 8, and I would really appreciate it if someone did something about it! The other problem with this is that if I'm watching a video full-screen in IE and it registers taps of the screen as a pause command, I can't open up the start menu or dock the app to the side without first pausing the video.
This is a significant driver problem that David Pierce brings up in his review of the product here, and it still hasn't been revolved after all this time.
Do I need to update drivers? I apologise if there's an update that I'm missing, but I didn't even see an appropriate driver on the driver page. None of them said anything about touch-screen.
I'm not even sure if developers read this forum, but could my fellow users at least tell me if they have the same problem.
Thanks,
Michael
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My Touch screen was also not very responsive and I did the below to fix it.
1) Go to Device Manager
2) Expand Human Interface Devices
3) Double click on the last USB input device listed
4) navigate to power management tab and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
This should fix the issue for the touch screen becoming unresponsive.

My iPhone 4s touch screen will not work with an active SIM card in it.

A few months ago my touch screen stopped working suddenly on my iPhone 4s. After I removed my active SIM card from the 4s, the touch screen started working again. As soon as I put my SIM card in again, it stopped working. I finally broke down and took it into a store where they replaced the screen. It started working again for about 5 days. Then this morning it just quit working again. I have restarted it and reset it. All of the software was up to date when it stopped working, so I haven't done anything with that. Could someone please help me with this? It's getting a little frustrating.
