Feature that locks touch screen but continues to display video?

Is there an existing feature or application that will lock the touch screen but still display a video? I would like for my daughter to watch a video on my iPhone but I want to disable the touch screen while she is watching it so she won't accidentally turn it off or change any settings (she's only a toddler). I can do this with my iPod nano by playing a video and then locking the iPod (sliding the lock switch on the bottom of the device). Does the iPhone 3G have anything like this?

I 100% agree with you. I have some Sesame street videos on there for my daughter but they don't really work because she is always touching the screen and stopping them. This would be a great feature to have, but unfortunately I don't believe this is possible.

Proximity Sensor locks touch screen

Hello, I got a Z1C, the screen broke and I replaced it with a new funcioning one, but the problem is that whenever the proximity sensor notices that something (ear, hand, pocket) is closing in on it it does its function of locking the touch screen but it wont release it.
meaning if the proximity sensor senses something is near it it will lock the touchscreen but it wont release it, not unless I restart the phone by pulling the sim card out/in.
This is very annoying seeing as whenever I pull it out of my pocket / make a phone call I gotta pull the sim out and in again.
I tried changing screen, sent the phone to a lab who said that the sensor is perfectly fine and even hard reseted the phone, nothing works!
is there anything I can do? any drivers related to the proximity sensor?
thanks in advance,
Tal Lavi.

I can't be sure this will work but you could try performing a system repair as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
If that fails then you need to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

Does apple make a mac book air that is touch screen?

Does apple make a mac book air that is touch screen?

Thanks for the help
I submitted my feedback and it reads "Hi Apple, My family owns an Ipod Shuffle, 2 Nanos, 2 iphones, one ipad and the AppleTV. However, I have an HP laptop. Why? I want the features of both the laptop and the ipad but am not willing to convert to the MAC book until the ipad and the mac book merge together as one. Is this even a possibility? I know you could create it in a split second. Why do you think you haven't? I get sick of unclicking the ipad from my cheap keyboard and then having it all cluttered up right by my laptop. If the mac book had a touch screen and it could flip the keyboard upside down (like the clam case does) so that I could use a laptop like an ipad then I would be on cloud 9. No pun intended. In fact, why don't you just call the thing "Cloud9." Just sayin'"
It would be cool if they were creating it right now. I would be all over it.

- Charge the iPod for half an hour. Then reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
- If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mod see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Can you lock touch screen when watching videos!??

Can you lock the screen so it doesn't become a touch screen when watching videos!??
Just got new ipod (7th gen) and this driving me crazy that I think I'm going to continue to use my older one unless there is a solution out there. I watch tv shows while commuting and while walking here or there I have to 'palm' the ipod or walk with it at my side, and the problem is that since the touch screen is sooooo sensitive I keep fwding/rewinding/swiping the screen to something else, and then to get back to that part in the video is a pain because unlike the older ipod you can just fwd a few secs, this one jumps minutes because it's so sensitive. PLEASE tell me there's a way to lock it from accidently touching it!

No - there is no such switch on the iPad - the switches control volume, muting, screen rotation, and the home button itself.
You could place it behind a screen of some sort so touching the outer screen won't affect the iPad screen - I've seen ads for 'presentation kiosk' type devices for the iPad that allow this, although I'm not sure how practical they would be in the backseat of a car.

Bought HP M7-k211xd advertised to come with touch screen but apparently doesn't...

So I bought this laptop about two weeks ago and i've been trying to figure out why It doesn't have touch screen capabilities this is clearly what came out of the box the display where I bought it had the touch screen feature as well... Apparently you guys don't sell what is advertised to your customers...? The box says touch screen feature and ever where I read says to go to control panel and enable the touch screen via hardware and sound and when i search this it says under "PC Info" it says 'this computer is not touch screen' So yeah... I already can't return the product where I bought since it's been over 15 days so i'm stuck with a laptop that I didn't pay for. Can anyone assist me at all.

Hi @ABlueChocobo ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Dust & Lint under touch screen but visable

Anybody getting dust & lint under the screen where you can see it in the backlight but you can't get to it to clean it off?

I am. I just started noticing it this week.
I've had my iPhone 3G since it came out and have always had a screen protector and plastic case on it. When I slide it into my jeans pocket, it goes in head first so the dock connector is always facing up toward the top of my pocket. I usually clean out the dock connector area with a puff of air. I took off the screen protector today to try and clean the dust but to no avail. I have not noticed any issues/problems with the sensitivity of the touch screen
My iPhone case has no dock connector cover. Should I take it to an Apple store to have them look at it. Any one else take their iPhone in?

IMovie 5.0.2 sees and controls camera but won't display video or sound

OK, my camera used to work with my iMac G4 800 just fine, it's a JVC GR-DVF11U back from the stone age (heh but I am having trouble getting any video or audio on my PB 12" G4 with iMovie 5.02. iMovie will control the camera (play, stop, ff, review) just fine but all I get is a blue screen. I tried a friends (modern) Sony (not sure of the model #)and had the same results so I think it's a problem with iMovie, not the cameras. Anyway, any help ya'll could give would be great Thanks

Welcome to discussions!
First-if your mac can control the camera but not see the video,
*Open Garageband
*Play a note or two
*Close Garageband
*Open iMovie
The camera will work now-REALLY!!
If not, look here:

Feature to disable touch screen when pen is detected is no longer available in windows 7

In N-trig drivers with windows vista there was an option where one could select the option to disable the touch input when pen in near the screen. That feature is no longer available when I installed new n-trig drivers in win7.
I use my tablet a lot to take notes. But with dual mode on it detects input where I rest my palm on the screen to write. Every time I have to go and disable touch input completely before I start writing and enable after I finish.
I there any way to enable auto mode with Windows 7 n-trig drivers?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks for your reply.
I talked about this with HP tech support and they don't know anything about it. I don't even know whether they are qualified enough to provide support. They were just blaming the problems on Microsoft and N-Trig. I knew the problem is with the drivers and I wanted them to let N-Trig know that people like us are waiting to the Auto feature. But instead of considering my complaint they hung up on me not once but twice.

Hi, I was recently on facebook and chatting with a friend. My iphone decided to freeze and now my iphone won't turn off or return home. I can still lock the screen, but when i turn it back on it just goes to the frozen faceboko app.

As I said, It's now frozen and I cannot use my iphone basically. WHen I turn it back on, it goes to the facebook screen. It doesnt go the the lock screen first. I've tried to shut it off but thats kinda hard because my lock button is broken. Please Help!

You need to reset the phone, but that requires a functioning on/off (lock) button. Time to visit Apple.

Dead spots on touch screen, but only when using text or safari

For some reason my phone has dead spots, which CHANGE although one thing is consistent. I cannot press "send" on a message unless I am replying to a text straight away. I cannot initiate and then send.
What is stranger, is that if i pull up the SAME keyboard on the facebook app, it works perfectly.
So far i have tried recalibrating, resetting and restoring the phone to no effect. If has not been in water (unless splashed unbeknowns to me)
Has anyone had a similar issue and how did they fix it? My iphone is 3rd gen so no warranty but was in perfect working order until yesterday.

I can certainly understand your frustration. I have not heard of any other cellphone or PDA manufacturer that gives out free loaners while their equipment is being replaced. Although I have certainly heard about this practice in BMW and Mercedes dealerships, the cellphone/PDA industry is a little different.
I am surprised they had never heard of the problem, which probably means they have never visited this forum. I have read many posts regarding this problem, and if a reset/restore doesnt do the trick, it has always required repair or replacement.
Its the same with a Treo or a Motorola Q or a Blackberry. It is not reasonable to expect the manufacturer (Palm, Motorola, etc) to provide free loaners. The cost for this "free" service would inevitably have to be passed on to all buyers. I have a cheapy GSM phone in a drawer I use to stick my SIM card in when I don't want to use my iPhone, or in the event I have to send it in for repair. Having that alternative is my responsibility, not Apple's.
Now that I think of it, Palm doesnt even rent loaners. I would have been stuck with NOTHING had my Treo required service. At least Apple gives me a better choice.
That's another spin on it.

Al Jazeera in English will run audio, but won't display video. Page tells me I need a missing plug-in, but when I look, it says there aren't any.

I get the warning "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." When I click the "Install Missing Plugins..." button, it says: "Conclusion: No suitable plugins were found."
At first, when I started the video player on this page, it would play the audio for a bit (no video) and then crash FF. I disabled the Silverlight plugin, and reinstalled Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave. Now the page doesn't crash, but I still only get audio, no video.

Hi - I tried the tip above but easier. If you right click on the flash player (or two finger click I guess in mac speak) you will see a settings box.
"To make the video display without crashing Firefox, I had to do what georgek above did: disable hardware acceleration in Flash. However, I couldn't do it in the Flash window on the Al Jazeera web page. Everytime I right clicked and selected Settings, the settings dialogue box was grayed out and I couldn't make any changes. "
Same for all of us - but only - strangely - on Al Jazeera's page. In my Facebook account, where one of my games are that use the Flash player also (TikiResort) it is not grayed out and I was able to deselect it. When I went back to Al Jazeera I looked again - and voila! Deselected and AlJE is playing.
The other post suggested something more complex about going to Macromedia's site and doing the same thing - but it seems to me any other instance of Flash player will do.

Is it true that the new imac has a touch screen feature?

is it true that the new imac has a touch screen feature?

No, it is not true. There are third-party resellers that modify iMacs to add a touch screen, but the iMac as shipped by Apple does not have a touch screen.

Phone that supports location JSR, JSR179, and touch screen

Hi All
Does anyone know which phones that have touch screens support the location jsr (JSR179) ?
Regards
Steve

If this case is blocking or partially blocking the iPhone's proximity sensor, sure you can use it but this problem will remain.
If so, you can try increasing the size of the case opening around the earpiece - the sensor is located above and there is also a light sensor beside it which combined are wider than the earpiece opening or purchase another case that is better designed for the iPhone in this regard.
