Selecting or clicking with touch screen

when i use the touch screen and go to click on something it just zooms in on the item instead of allowing me to select or put my cursor in a box to type.
any suggestions?
Im really sad. I was super excited to get this computer and the reviews I read before were good... but its like its all gone down hill or something. :/ i hope there are some fixes, it has such great potential

How much memory free space have you got? Have you loaded a lot of apps?

TS1702 Triple clicking on touch screen. I need to triple click (rather than 1 click) for all functions on the touch screen. I have rebooted and upgraded software. Any help please!?

With the Ipod touch it requires 3 x clicking to the touch screen rather than 1 for all interactions. I have updated software, all apps, rebooted and reset but still doing it. Any suggestions very welcome.

All good - as per "Single click on touch screen doesn't work" problem. The VoiceOver under Settings/general/accessibility was set to "on".
When you turn this off, the ipod resorts to one touch instantly.

Playing Spades with touch screen

Just got a new 9930 with touch screen. Attempted to play Spades using touch screen but fingers too big to hit individual cards well. Is there a way to play games using track ball like older devices?

Hi
Firstly thanks for the reply, then i have to ask is there any way you can change the layout of the music control screen when its in the unlocked format as even though it will stay on as long as you want it to, its at the bottom of the screen and not the middle or top.
again thanks

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.

Anyone have issues with "touch screen" not responding?

Does anyone find that the touch screen doesn't respond? I have huge issues with this style.
Touching and swiping on a screen that is 1.5 inches isn't fun. I need shade to read the screen (bad for snow), I need to go thru so much just to get to a song, a podcast, whatever that was playing before I HAD to turn off nana. I need to turn off nano each time.
1. Turn on by holding button like forever.
2. swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe to get to songs or podcast. Select, select, touch selcet, not selecting, touch, touch touch.
3. Select 'songs; selevet something else to get to a screen that says shuffle.
4. Select, select, touch, touch, use index finger, thumb, touch, breath on finger, touch again.
5. After one song plays after selecting "shuffle", it repeats, repeats,
6. Take ipod out of pocket, stand in shade, hit the snooze whatever button, to activate screen, Is screen activitated? yes? But it blinked off to quick to make selectioon of touch proof screen.
7. Walk inside to touch screen, to see screen. Hit button, wait for long time for this to start again (much like laptop starting).
8. Swipe to get to menu with songs, swipe, swipe, swipe swipe.
9. Select music: albums, artist songs. By selecting I mean touch touch touch, touch, use thumb, touch. for each selection
10. Are you sure this is an Apple product?
Can I return this POS and wait for someone to go back to what worked best??

Oh, and yes I have restored to factory settings. Then resynch.
I have done the soft reset or whatever it's called on this one.
It is updated.

Trouble with touch screen

I own a Photosmart Premiyn c309g it's a touchscreen-well it's supposed to be! Quite often I can't get it to
touch on; which means I can't access the menu and thus can't copy or scan. Also, the on/off button has never
worked. Not sure if any of this is because of how I set it up. I have both usb and wireless hooked up.
I can get it to come on if I unplug and replug the unit; but, it hates this/I get a improper shut-down warning.
Please tell me how to fix this and/or how-to access the copy/scan possibly w/o the touch screen.

Hello @Suz1st ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that your printers touch screen is not responding correctly.
I would like to help.
Step one: Turn the printer off and then on again
Step two: Connect the printer directly to a wall outlet
Unplug the power cord from any power strips or surge protectors.
Plug the power cord directly into a grounded electrical outlet.
Try again to use the touchscreen menu.
If the touchscreen responds when connected directly to the electrical outlet, do not reconnect the power cord to the power strip or surge protector.
Step three: Reset the printer
Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
With the power on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
Wait 60 seconds.
Reconnect the power cord to rear of the printer.
Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
Try again to use the touchscreen menu.
I have sent you via private message with instructions for another reset.
Please read this post by Bob_Headrick before attempting the reset.

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.

Nokia C3-01 get hanged with Touch screen lock

I have been using Nokia c3-01 for the past few months and the firmware is uptodate.(V 7.51) Some time after a call has been disconnected the touchscreen lock will be activated and it will not get unlocked.(The Touch Screen will not respond). The phone has to be restarted by removing and reinserting the battery. Hope this complaint would be solved in the next software update.
Any user facing this problem, please report
Thank You

Hi Almach89,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
We are sorry for the inconvenience. I advise yout to try and back up your data with Nokia Suite. If you do not have it installed on your PC yet, you may do so with this link.
Then connect your device to it and go to Tools > Back up. Also go to Synchronise > Synchronise now > All. Once the sync is completed, check the different tabs to see if the data has been correctly synced. If this is successful, your data will now be safe (please use your own judgement).
You may update your device from the updates tab to see if that fixes the screen issue.
Alternatively, please take your device to your nearest Nokia Care Point or call your Local Careline, please find the details via this link.
Feel free to post any other questions you may have.
Regards,

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.

All in one Desktop with Touch Screen - 2 monitors and Keyboards

Looking at the Beats version of the All in One desktop computers. Both myself and Partner would like to both have access to the All in One computer so we can both be on it. Is it possible to connect a second touch screen monitor so that we both can login to the one PC

Hello KenR60.
Yes you can as long as you have wireless internet connection . Open up Windows Help and Support type in connecting two computers direction are given setting up a home network. I am sure windows 8 can if windows 7 can. The direction are to much to post here. Your Windows Help Support gives direction plus other neat things you can do as well. How do you think companies and stores do it? I do it with my computers. You use to be able to email a remote connection link but I think HP did a way with it when they updated HP's Support Assistant that one was much easier to use and never had to remeber pass words or go into control pannel and set up things. There is no such thing as Beats windows. All HP's computers come with Audio Beats thats what they call their sound software.
