Did Sony test the Z2 touch screen before they released it?

Just wondered seems sometimes you can't tap anywhere on the screen or it completely freezes?
If you are on here looking for if you want to buy this tablet or not, please dont, at least until you  read on here that the massive touch screen issue has been addressed.
Over at XDA, where they have people who are actually intelligent, have worked out that if you have root access and you modify the /system/usr/idc/clearpad.idc file
Code:
touch.pressure.scale = 0.0001
(original value: 0.1)
and
Code:
touch.filter.level = 1
(original value: 2)
Then this appears to fix the issue, i am not suggesting people should try this, but ermmm sony, could you see if your brilliant devs could give this a go, and if they find it works, could you release an urgent fix to help us??

I will make sure this gets forwarded to concerned team and get back to you in the main topic as soon as I hear anything about this.

  • I have an ipod touch 3rd generation and the whole touch screen is not working.

    I have a 32gb ipod which I bought for fifty dollars and when i bought it had a pretty baddly cracked screen but thing is it worked fine. Every part of the screen worked fine; it was as senstive where the screen was cracked as the areas of the screen that were not cracked. I dropped it a couple times from like two or three feet on two a hard wood floor about four times all it did was make the cracks on the screen a little worse. Then one day I dropped it from about a foot and now the whole touch screen is not working does anyone know why this is. They told me at the ipod store to get a new one would be 130 to trade mine in. But the thing is I very mechanically inclined and I am very good with electrionics; I was planing on buying the glass for fifty bucks and putting it on myself because I read how to do it and I am more then capapble of doing it. But now since the touch screen is now working; do I need a new screen along with a new glass? See the thing is because I think both those part cost 120 together. Which would not be worth me doing that when I can go to the ipod store and they would trade me a new one for 130 bucks. But the issue is, they told me at the ipod store they would have to look and see how damaged the ipod is to see if they will exchange it. My screen is severly cracked; also I have a dent that is a half inch long and 1/8th inch deep in the back of my ipod and its very scracthed up; do you thing an ipod store would exchange it in the condition it is in. Also has anybody had this problem before and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to take it apart and fix it my self without buying any new parts.

    If I were you, I would pay the $130 for a replacement. Then you can be sure that it has all the working parts it needs.

  • I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

    I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

    What model computer do you have? some early trackpads will not support all gestures.
    Front Row was dropped by Apple in Lion. I beleive it can be recovered from Snow Leopard, I haven't tried it myself.

  • I love the new touch screen features!

    I just wanted to say that whomever added the new touch screen features to Illustrator CC is AWESOME!  Very cool!  Great work!  Touch type tool, free transform, multi-touch zoom/panning... very nice!
    I like it so much I made a video: http://youtu.be/ZKhifrhMmNg?t=4m13s
    (and also showed some touch screen support in a few other Adobe CC programs.)
    Hope to see more of that kind of innovation.

    Gorgeous.
    Some people may not be able to enjoy that great enhancement due to some controversy when it comes to buy (not rent) that piece of software.

  • Does the multi-touch screen make T400s 1/2 lb heavier?

    The information on Lenovo's T400s webpage for both models (with and without the multi-touch screen) has no word on the extra weight of the multi-touch screen. It only says "at just 3.91 lbs ..."
    However, PC Magazine http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2352820,00.asp says the multi-touch screen makes T400s 1/2 lb heavier. Is this true?

  • Do any imacs come with a touch screen if not whats the best touch  screen for a 2012 13inch macbook air

    Do any imacs come with a touch screen if not whats the best touch  screen for a 2012 13inch macbook air?
    Thx

    No they don't.
    Apple's position is that touchscreens are for tablets and phones (in Apple's case the iPad and iPhone) and that OSX does not need a touchscreen - the trackpad and/or mouse is more flexible.
    That may change in future but no one here knows.
    In answer to your second question, there is NO touch screen available for the MacBook Air (2012 or any other vintage), nor for the MacBook Pro.  If you must have a touchscreen, consider an iPad with a stand and a wireless keyboard.  Alternatively, a Windows 8.1 laptop or desktop???

  • I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done

    I downloaded an album and most of the songs cut off before they are done. How can i get a refund or credit for this?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Why is it impossible to remove the iPod touch screen without damaging it so that it cant be re attached?

    My iPod touch heaphone jack broke for what must have been the 12th time for no reason, so I decided I was going to try and permanetly fix it. I saw a post on here saying that if you remove the screen and then make sure some wires are connexted properly, that you can fix it long term instead of having to hold the headphone cable in a strange position. So I remove the screen (which I have done before to replace the touch screen) and it pretty much all falls apart in my hands, the home button, the rubber sealing the outside of the screen and the actual screen all come apart, along with many small pieces of plastic. Now my iPod is no more that a paperweight with a useless LCD screen on it. Even if I did get a new screen, the headphone jack would still be unusuable and there would be no point.

    I guess 4g is more complicated than 2g/3g. In 2g/3g it was way easier cause there are videos on youtube that anyone can do. Was your headjack stuck in the porthole? That is what happened to my sister's iPod. but my dad somehow got it out.

  • THE IPOD TOUCH SCREEN SEEMS TO BE LOOSE

    I HAVE AN IPOD TOUCH 8GB (THIRD GEN.).WHEN I PRESS THE SCREEN THE GLASS MOVES DOWN ( ONLY SLIGHTLY THOUGH ) , IS THIS AN MANUFACTURING PROBLEM OR IT`S OKAY ? REPLY PLZ
    Message was edited by: apple rocks

    If the glass is moving in any way then it is NOT normal. When you did you buy your iPod touch? If you bought this within the past 12 months then please take it to the nearest Apple Store and have them evaluate/repair the defect.

  • What is the best touch screen display to use with a Mac mini?

    Hello, forgive me I am not an expert when it comes to technology. I am thinking of changing my work computer system to a Mac mini at the moment as we have limited space and love the design of the Mac mini. We currently have an outdated dell computer linked to an ELO touch screen as part of our till system. I was just wondering if there were any recommended touch screen monitors that work well (not to much driver hassle) with the mini and are thin and easy on the eye.
    Any advice would be gratefully received.
    Many Thanks

  • Why do all my photos (but one!) not take up the entire touch screen?

    I've been trying to figure this out for some time with no luck.
    I have a very nice DSLR camera but I tend to use all the preset buttons. My photos always show up as a "square" shape when using things like the Apple TV photo display and on the ipod touch.
    Recently we spent 3 weeks at the beach and I changed no settings on the camera during that trip. One photo out of almost 400 taken is more "rectangular" such that when I flip my ipod touch, this photo will change and take up the entire screen with no black edges. All of the other photos have blank edges/square shape.
    My old cheap Kodak digital camera takes up the entire screen with all photos on the touch and the ATV. A friend shot some photos and his takes up the entire screen as well. Mine are always square, except for this odd one.
    When I "get info" in iphoto, a sample of about 10 photos from this bunch from the beach show size 2032 x 1354, if that matters.
    Any info?
    Thanks.
    More info: Looking through the photos, I noticed there was a change in the settings during the trip as there is a point where all the photos take up the entire screen. I don't know how to check the settings that were in place but the difference is:
    Square shape: size: 3200 x 2400, and about 1.1 MB per photo.
    Rectangular shape: size 2032 x 1354 at about 446 KB per photo.
    I'm a novice at the particulars behind the photos but I'd like a good quality picture that isn't square but rather takes up the entire screen.
    Message was edited by: Clayton Rhoades

    David,
    Thanks for the note. I looked up online and you are correct...the aspect ratio for my camera is indeed 4:3. I see in my camera settings where I can change the size of the photos but I've played around with that stuff and seen no difference in the aspect ratio.
    I guess I'm stuck with what I've got?
    I tried converting some of them with iphoto to a different aspect ratio and I don't think that's possible either.
    Thx.

    Hey Rocky, All earlier iPod touch models were released in the in the fall (about now) in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. Will Apple continue this trend? I don't know. Start watching the stores and the ads. (Assuming there will be an iPod 6) Cheers.
