Pantech Hotshot - touch screen buttons activated by cheek

I am having tons of frustration using the Pantech hotshot. When I'm talking, the Mute, Speaker Phone, Bluetooth, etc. buttons seem to get activated because of the proximity of the phone to my face. Often I'm answering the phone in a noisy area and need to hold it close. Is there any way to adjust the phone's touch sensitivity?

We want your handset to function as conveniently as possible for you webbyW! You can definitely adjust the touch screen settings on your Hotshot. I have included a link for your reference. I hope this information was helpful.http://bit.ly/K7Z0Q0

N8 - touch-screen still active during phone calls,...

I've made a few calls with my N8, and I'm finding that the touch-screen is still active when I hold the phone to my ear. I've accidentally hung up on people, or have inadvertently activated other apps. Is this something I can fix in tools?
The sound during calls is also very low (even at maximum volume), which compounds the above problem even more, as I push the phone closer to my ear.
If nothing else, the N8 should be able to function perfectly as a phone, and this is really frustrating - I never had this problem with other phones.
Also, on the 2nd use of the photo edit program, it took a long time to save the photo, and then the phone froze. Is anyone else having problems with this?

I too fact these problems i.e touch-screen still active during phone calls leading to unintended "hold" on the calls or screens navigating else where. Yes, the side lock bar helps, but then it is not very handy way for a costly model to be designed. Even the older cheaper nokia touch screen model did not have this problem. Let NOKIA people respond to it.
Yes, the sound is too low even at the maximum. Nokia support centre plead helpless.
I think we all made a big mistake in investing in this costly handset.

When I use my phone my cheek bone makes the phone go on mute or cuts me off, the touch screen stays active whilst I am talking, shouldn't it not work?

Before I updated to IOS7 the touchscreen of my phone would become inactive whilst I was talking on the telephone. Now for some reason if I am talking on the phone my face can set the phone to mute or speaker. It is really annoying as this never used to happen. Surely the touch screen should become inactive whilst you are speaking??

There have been some reports of cases and screen protectors interfering with the proximity sensor that is supposed to inactivate the screen while you are holding it near your face. Try removing both if you have them and you also may want to try cleaning the screen to see if that helps.

Touch Screen Buttons on HP Officejet Pro 8600 are Unresponsive

Just installed new ink in the printer and the message stating "Genuine HP Ink Cartridges Installed" messsage appears. I try to press the OK button on the screen and it is unresponsive. The "?" button off the screen works, as well as the back button to the left of the screen to exit the ? screen. The display is working as the screen is able to display different messages and such, but I am unable to use the touch screen to press the on-screen buttons.
When I try to get to the factory reset screen by pressing the back button during startup, it doesn't work. I think the Genuine Ink message overrides it, making me have to press the OK button before being able to do anything else. The printer can still print, I'm just unable to use the scanning and faxing features because of this issue as I'm not able to get into their respective menus on the screen.

Hello @AlexC_BCCL , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing control panel issues. I would love to try and help you, but I do need a little information first. I am linking a few HP Support documents below that will show you how to find which operating system you are using. Also, if you're using Windows, please include whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?

Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
In the meantime, I'd recommend a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Touch Screen Button Issue

I have a kiosk using a touch screen monitor running a Projector. The basic screen on the projector is an index screen with 18 transparent buttons overlaying text on an underlying graphic. The underlaying graphic is the bottom layer. A full screen (stage) transparent button is the next layer, and the top layer has the 19 transparent buttons. The full screen button is looking for a "right-click" (simulated by a motion detector). Upon sensing a "right-click", an attract loop is played as a MIAW. The top layer buttons are "mouseUp" and will close the attract loop and play a specific MIAW.
My problem: When a top layer button is touched, the mouse pointer stays over the button just pressed thereby preventing a detection of a 'right-click". I need it to 'jump' out of the defined button area so it sits on top of the full screen button, waiting for a "right-click". Is there a method of moving the pointer to a predefined location or coordinates on the stage on the 'mouseUp' of the top layer button?
Running on a MAC mini with OS 10.5.7
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If I guess correctly, you placed the right click detection in a sprite script, attached to the backgroundsprite. Hence, it can only be detected if the mouse is over the background sprite.
Just place the detection in a moviescript (so NOT attached to the backgroundsprite), and it will be detected, no matter where your mouse is.
One more thing: if you use a touchscreen, the intuitive thing is to have an action on touching, not on releasing, so you should make your buttons react on an on mousedown instead. At the Science Center where I work, I always use this policy, as do most developers when working with a touchscreen. If you use it as an end-user, it's just that much more logical.

Sometimes the screen on my iPhone 3GS appears enlarged, so I cannot see or manipulate the touch screen buttons. Anyone know what this is?

Sometimes the screen on my iPhone 3GS randomly enlarges so I cannot see or manipulate the touch screen controls. Anyone know what causes this?

Double tap with THREE fingers to turn zoom off. Then, go into Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off for good.

Touch screen not active

Mi ipod touch 5g was recently left in the cold for around 3 hours and now the touch screen is not very responsive. it moves pages and opens apps even if im not touching the device. i have restored it to factory settings and have turned it on and off. please help!

If you successfully (completed all steps without errors) restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Iphone 5 touch screen buttons do not work

Pretty annoyed and disappointed with my new iPhone 5. First, virtually everytime I try to slide a button in settings to change an option, it won't slide. Touch/slide it light, heavy, make sure my fingers are warm, doesn't matter. Generally can't slide it over until the 5-6th try (or more). More annoying yet, I've apparently burned through 90% of my 1GB of data and I'm only half way through my billing cycle. I've had an iPhone since 6/09 and have only come close/gone over maybe 2x. Read up on the WiFi problem and supposed fix but ended up downloading a free data management app today. What gives??? Don't even get me started on that useless mapping software. Ended up downloading a MapQuest app and have relegated the Apple mapping software to my very last screen. Wish I would have sucked it up, converted my iTunes music and switched to a Droid. Apple is usually such an innovator, but they really dropped the ball on the iPhone 5.

Need Help With Pantech Crux Touch Screen

I don't know if this is the right forum, 95% of the forums seem to be for billing or arbitray things. So, if this isn't please refer me to the correct place for this post.
I have had a Pantech Crux for about 6 months now. About three months ago, the touchscreen stopped working. A section right in the middle refused to allow me to press it. If you were looking at the keyboard, it is the RTYGH section of the phone. It clicks way off to the right, or refuses to click at all. Now, 3 months ago a friend made a suggestion that I wait until the battery died and just restarted. Once I did this, it worked fine, and I chocked the issue up to software.
Now, it has been plaguing me for three weeks, I have let my phone uncharge to zero, erased the entire thing and set the phone to factory settings, I have attempted to clean the screen using certified safe cleaner, all to no avail. What I need to know, from anyone, is A) is this a possible software fix that I can fix? B) if the screen is broken, how much am I looking at to get it fixed?
Honestly, I am beginning to think the pantech curx being listed at near 300.00 without a 2 year warranty is ludicrous and borderline highway robbery. I've enjoyed this phone for the last three months, but if this keeps up the temptation to literally rip it in half and go get a NET10 phone will be too much to withstand. Honestly, I can't text, I can't use the calculator, or any programs. Any and all help would be most appreciated.

Hi lpseudonyml,
I am sorry to learn that your phone is not working properly; I would be frustrated if I had the issues outlined on your post with my phone. Since you have already done several troubleshooting steps including a factory reset, I would consider replacing the phone. The best part is that your phone is only 6 months and is still within the one year manufacturers warranty and can be replaced at no cost to you. Please keep in mind that if phone has sustained liquid damage or physical damage the warranty is voided and phone cannot be replaced for free by the warranty program. For details on processing your warranty replacement please visit the link below:
Certified Like-New Replacement Warranty Program
If your phone does not qualify for a warranty replacement due to liquid or physical damage you can get a Certified Pre-Owned phone at a discounted price. Please visit link below for details:

ridho

Sorry mate but could you please provide more details?
As I understood your original post, you have installed new Windows 7 system on this Libretto W100 device. Right?
Now the question: did you install the essential Toshiba software?
On the Toshiba EU driver page you can find drivers and tools for Libretto W100.
The +Libretto Software v 1.0.22.00+ is an essential part and its strongly recommended to install this part!

Touch screen shuffle button not working

The touch screen button to shuffle (two crossed arrows) doesn't appear to do anything when active. I can shake to shuffle every song, but if I attempt to listen to a specific album and press the shuffle icon from the "now playing" sceen it has no effect and the tracks continue in numerical order. Am I misunderstanding the function of this icon? Should the tracks not play in a random order when this icon is lit up in a blue colour?

Photosmart B110a touch screen is faulty

I've just bought this printer and after switching on and trying to select the country, the touch screen buttons needed to be pressed really hard to register a press. Sometimes they will not work at all. My thumbs ar killing me now. I've now managed to set up everything including wireless but the only button working with the slightest touch is the 'back' icon. What should I do? Shall I return it to the shop where I bought it?
Regards
James

It rarely happens as all printers go thru a quality check...could have been damaged during shipping process.
