Problem with touch screen sensitivity, makes calls randomly when I have it against my ear!

I am at my wits end about this.as I am on the phone and have handset against my ear it randomly activates the touch screen and either dials someone else or put call on hold, so they can't hear me. By the time I figure out what has happened, whoever I was speaking to has likely hung up! I tried to adjust screen sensitivity but nothing I do seems to work. Same when I use track pad to scroll, it is way too sensitive, so often I am scrolling through my calendar and it will open a new appointment randomly. Is there a solution before I break this terrible phone with a hammer?!

Your first problem ( I am on the phone and have handset against my ear it randomly activates the touch screen and either dials someone else or put call on hold, so they can't hear me.) can be solved by putting the top of the device near to your ear first and then the rest while on the call - their are sensors in the phone that blackout the display when in a call the top of the device is brought closer to the face

Problem with touch screen. Please help!!!

Ok I bought an iPad about a month ago now. At first it worked perfectly, runs apps smoothly, etc. But then something happened to the touch screen, it just randomly like pressed itself, it went into apps on its own and zoom in and out while on safari just randomly. For about 3 weeks this issue disappeared, but now it happens again but more constantly and for more time please help. I think this video will explain my issue more clearly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1qyvHV43yg Please I just don't want this issue anymore. Any help will be appreciated.

OK...so it seems that many iPad owners have the same issue with the screen "self registering touches". You'll see multiple posts on the forums from "self touching" to "self registering" to "freaking out".
Well, I also have this annoying problem.
Trust me when I say that cleaning the screen, resets, charging, deleting apps, static, and so on haven't anything to do with causing or resolving this issue.
Here is a little tip to show you what is actually going on. Download a free app that shows you "screen touches". Harbor Master is one that I've heard of that led me to this...but I prefer to use that pocket pond app...only because I can just sit back and watch without having to move boats around.
...When you notice the problem, open up the app. I've noticed on mine that it only self registers touches along the side. Exact location is (when holding iPad in landscape position, home button on left) along the top of the screen...from top middle to the top right corner.
I have called Apple...the tech was polite and tried to help. ...But the only suggestions were to reset (as i've already done) then if that didn't work I was to do a reload while sync'd. He stated that if none of that worked then to take it to the store...
Since I am in Florida for the month and the nearest Apple store is 6hrs away...I will wait until I go back home HI and visit a store that is close by.

Problem with touch screen control

I got my incredible yesterday and activated it.
I have problems:
-When I use the zoom (pinch/spread) on larger screens, I loose the ability to scroll up/down/right/left (swipe, slide).
-I lose the use of the four main buttons.
-I get strange menus popping up.
-The phone completely freezes up.
For example on the Maps app:
I "pinch/spread" to zoom in on the map. Then, I want to move the screen up/down/left/right. Most of the time, I am unable to do so. It just keeps on zooming in and out. I am only using one finger and moving in a straight line (up, down, left, right), but it keeps zooming in and out.
Also, When this zoom problem happens, the four buttons (home, menu, back, search) do not work at all.   They are completely useless.
Another thing it does when it is stuck "zooming", a pop-up box appears. This pop-up box has three icons in it:
-two papers
-a magnifying glass
-and a green circle with two arrows pointing off from the circle
The touch screen is frozen, so I have no idea what those icons are supposed to do (I could probably guess).
When this box comes up, if I try using the joystick, it will start making green lines and boxes all over the screen. The touch screen and four buttons are still totally useless.
Other times, a menu appears for no apparent reason. I can't select anything in the menu, or back out of it. Again, the touch screen and four buttons are totally useless.
I must turn it off, then back on. Then, I can back out of the menu.
It is NOT just the Maps app. It happens regularly while using the browser to read web pages. I've also had the phone freeze up doing other various things (like the flash light).
I've removed the battery and restarted (soft reset). I've also done the factory reset (hard reset). The problems continue exactly as before.
The problems are not 100% of the time. I have been able to use it some, and can see how it is supposed to work (and it is great). But, the zooming problem makes internet use, and the Maps app nearly impossible (I am sure I would have a long list of other programs, but I only started using it yesterday). I can use these things fine for a minute or two before the problems start (usually starting with the zoom problem).
Sorry if this is long (I am copy/pasting it to send to Verizon support).
Any ideas?

Make sure you return the phone if the touch screen is unresponsive. Continue to return any replacement until you get one that the screen is complliant with your touch, skin chemistry and local climate.
This issue cost me the cost of a replacement phone, and repacemet of broken touch screen glass and LCD when I continually tried to use more pressure to get the screen to respond.
Mine was less responsive when the phone was receiving a call and was ringing, which tells me it may be a design flaw that will not carry enough current to the touch screen when the ringing is occuring.
The replacement is a new one that I had to purchase as they would not warranty the other one.  It is also unresponsive to the touch when in standy and the phone is ringing. I have learned to be persistently working with it the entire duration of the ring cycle, and am 75% effective in answering calls before they time out.
The original one was repaired(?) at my expense, and came back totally unable to wake from standby. I have to take out the battery and power it back up to get it to work again. Presently, I have the display timeout set to 1 hour. If the phone rings after the screen goes to standby, I have to let it ring and go to voicemail, then remove the battery and power it back on.
The original one was 6 weeks old, but the entire warranty was void once the touch screen glass cracked. It was easy to verify that the phone had not been dropped. The screen glass cracked under thumb pressure.
Of course, neither Verizon or HTC had ever heard of this occuring before. I spent the better part of today trying to find the right combination of applications and timing to wake it from standby. I finally reformatted the SD card, reformatted the Phone Storage, do a factory data reset and finally a new firmware load. Nothing will restore the screen.
If I had to guess, I would say there is a trace on the board that was not sufficient to carry the current of a full volume ringtone at 0dB.   It could also be parameters on the touch screen that are too tight to compensate for differences in skin resistance/capacitance. Also is the possibillity of bad ground integrity between the phones individual circuits.
It is all academic, as I have spent another 200.00 on the original to replace the touch screen and LCD Display, only to find out that the phone is now unable to respond to the touch screen when it is in standby.
I will continue to use the new one until it finally stops responding completely. This time, I bought insurance. I can keep on taking them back until they acknowledge the problem.
Try to learn from my mistakes. Make them continue to replace the phone until you get one that works.

Problem with touch screen on wireless Prem Web C309n

After the last automatic update was done the touch screen will no longer iniaialize - it just shows the hp logo and the on/off switch just continuously flashes. I am not able to use any of the other functions like copying, scanning and faxing since the touch screen is not working.

Had not used my c309n for several years as I found its operation to be unreliable. Decided to try to make it operational once again. Finally, was able to install the software and drivers. The main problem is with the touch screen. At first, and still, it mainly does not go beyond initializing. However, at times the touch screen is populated but will not function. Then a parituclar item will highlight but not work. Even when the screen items are present nothing works well enough to make any settings. Prior to this I had one of your printers for scanning slides. It was so defective that HP replaced it with the C309n which hasn't proved much better. I also have an HP Photosmart 8750 which thankfully works just fine. A disappointed customer - R. C. Kiser

Problems with touch screen in ideapad U530

I Have a Ideapad U530. The touch screen worked a few hours, after having purchased and then I stop. I saw that had disappeared the "Pen and Touch" and Tablet PC in the Control Panel folder.
I went back to recover the system at the time had arrived from the factory and the laptop returned to work a few hours, this time with the Pen and Touch and the Tablet PC in the Control Panel. Then returned to stop working and disappeared again both drivers.
I need to find a solution to this problem.
Can I help me?

Hi Adrileb,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that your U530 Laptop touch screen is not working as expected even after performing “System Restore” in the computer, I suggest re-installing display driver from our Support Website and check if the issue persists and while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error. Below is the link to download the relevant drivers for U530:

Do post us back if the issue persists.

Ipod Touch First Generation: Problem with Touch Screen.

why oh why does it freak out all of the time. I'll be using it for a bit and it will be completely normal and then either the entire screen or just parts of it (so i can work around it its just a hassle) become unresponsive or clicking in other places rather than the spot i'm touching.
Its gotten to the point that i can hold my finger a few centimeters away and it will click like crazy on the screen pretty much randomly. it makes typing sooooo frustrating. Everytime i want a B, it will type T or Y or something crazy. I've tried completely restoring my ipod, and resetting it numerous times, nothing has changed. should i go in and see someone? i dont think its even under warranty anymore, i got it march 2008.
anyone else have this problem? its so frustrating!!!! please help! any advice appreciated!

Problem with touch screen.

A few months ago, when I had the iOS 5.0.1, I couldn't use my iPad 1 because I couldn't touch anything on the screen. It didn't react.
So when the update came out (5.1) I updated my iPad, but I still have the same problem. I tried everything. Reset, hard reset via iTunes in my PC...
What I must do. Please help

Might be a hardware issue with the digitizer. Call Apple or go to an Apple store.

Greetings rusfrco,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with app updates app on your iPad. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

My iPod Touch screen is so sensative that when I have my finger right above the screen, not touching it, it will open the app or click on the letters on the keyboard that I have not touched. How to stop this?

All of a sudden my iPod Touch 4 Gen (got for Christmas in 2012) has started behaving strangely. When I go to type on the virtual keyboard I don't even have to touch the screen and the iTouch starts acting as if it's possessed and will start typing those letters that I'm hovering my finger over ... and it's usually not the letter I want. Has anyone ever had this happen? It's very frustrating.

First make sure your fingers and screen are clean. After that all yo can do is:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My Q10 Screen blacks out & touch screen does not respond randomly

Hi Gang. Hoping someone can help... I've got a Q10 (only accessory is a screen scratch film) and recently the problem with the screen randomly going black has untenably increased after updating to the new OS.
Key facts: T
he ONLY two ways the screen will come back is:
A: I restart by either removing the battery or pressing the power&mute button for 8 secs (and currently its now going black as soon as the hub initialises) OR
B: It <always> comes back when I plug in the USB cable connected to either power or pc and this seems to job it back to normality for a hour or so.
The phone is still operating when this may happen: for one example in the middle of a phone call (usually when i activate speaker phone) the screen will go black whilst still talking fine… but if i try and end the call/deactivate the speaker phone/do anything I hear the error beeps when i inevitably start mashing the whole keypad - but the screen will not reappear or read <any> finger gestures or singular power button pressing.
Btw. The phone passed all tests on the BBVirtualExpert App.
I have just installed the new OS 10.3.1.1779 (but it was happening before)
Anyone have any ideas? Anything to try or should I repair or get a new one. Thanks in Advance.

I have the exact same problem. Can't find a fix or answers anywhere

Problem with sub-screen actions on Cancel button

Hi all,
I have a problem with sub-screen.
I created a subscreen (screen sequence in MM01/MM02/MM03). When users leave this screen, I call POPUP_TO_CONFIRM to ask if they want to save the data.
1) My goal is: when they choose Cancel, no actions are performed and users will see the current screen. However, I cannot use command: SET SCREEN 0 or LEAVE TO SCREEN 0 because the system gives an error message:
*SET SCREEN not allowed in subscreens*.
2) How can we determine when the user leaves the screen? which value of SY-UCOMM will be used to check this?
Thanks in advance.

for dis SET SCREEN is not required.
Consider d code given below as n eg:
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
    EXPORTING
      titlebar              = 'SAVE'
      text_question         = 'SOME _QUS'
      text_button_1         = 'YES'
      text_button_2         = 'NO'
      default_button        = '2'
      display_cancel_button = ' '
    IMPORTING
      answer                = l_ans
    EXCEPTIONS
      text_not_found        = 1
      OTHERS                = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e066.
ENDIF.
IF l_ans EQ '1'.    " when yes is pressed
   MODIFY db.
   commit work.
   leave program.
ELSEIF l_ans EQ '2'. "when no is pressed
    leave program.
ELSE.     " when cancel is pressed
ENDIF.
In above module when Yes is pressed it saves data den leave prog.
As no action is specified for cancel button it will remain on that screen only from which popup is called, in this way ur problem can be solved.
Reward properly.

Problem with SAP Screen

Not sure if this is the correct forum.
Okies, a user of mine has a problem with her SAP screens. It seems that she can't view the full screen of CJ20N She has to drag the window bigger to be able to see the content. She uses this window in a split monitor view, i.e. some of the applications are displaying on the laptop window while other applications display on the monitor.
Details of her SAPGUI:
Release 640 Final
File version: 6404.4.16.1015
Build: 774474
Patch Level : 16
Do note that her primary monitor (notebook) is always set to 1280x800 and the secondary monitor is set to 1024x768. Anyone encounter this problem before?

Hi,
This is problem with windows screen resolution. Better to use, maximum supported window size and make sure to use same size for both the screens.
Regards,
Ganesh
