[SOLVED] Short lag between touchpad click/touch and action

Hi,
Even with FastTaps enabled in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf, my touchpad has a latency (~50ms) when I click by touching it. If I click with the touchpad button, then there is no delay.
Is it possible to make it immediate?
I think the delay might be due to the double tap that wait for a response when a one tap occurs, but i might be wrong.
Here's my synaptics.conf :
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0400"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.7"
Option "MaxSpeed" "1.3"
Option "FastTaps" "1"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "-111"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "-111"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"
EndSection
Anyway, thanks for your help!

Windows would be a good test to see if it is a hardware issue, but supposing Windows does work fine, it could also have a different configuration, or more reliable drivers. There's a lot of factors, but testing Windows would be a start anyway. There are synclient options that mess with delays, I just don't remember them off the top of my head.

The iPhone is not user servicable. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149. If you open the phone yourself, you forfeit the ability to do this.

What is the difference between the iPod Touch and the iPod Touch MP3 ?

There is no iPod touch designated as the "iPod Touch MP3". If you've seen that listed somewhere, it's just a rather misleading title given by the dealer or web site, not an Apple product name.

Short pause between choosing a song and iTunes playing it

Hi there,
I recently swapped out my old hard drives in favour of four 10,000 rpm VelociRaptor drives in RAID0, to help with HD video editing and rendering.
Before I did so, I made a complete system backup using Carbon Copy Cloner, and also a Time Machine backup.
Needless to say, the Carbon Copy Cloner backup was somehow corrupted, so I had to resort to do a full system restore using Time Machine.
The system's back up, and has been fine so far except for a few preference file crashes related to Final Cut Pro.
However, one little annoyance I have is, there is about a full second or two of lag between me double-clicking a song to play in iTunes, and it actually playing it.
I didn't have this problem before, and you would have thought that with 4 x 10,000 rpm, latency would be a thing of the past.
When creating the RAID0, I had left the block size at default (32K). Not sure if that would make a difference, but I thought I'd keep it the same value as I had when I backed up my system.
Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Cheers,

HAHA!
Oh god I feel stupid.
I was sending the audio out to an Airport Express as well as the Mac's speakers. There was indeed a buffer delay, but turning that off fixed the issue.

Touchpad Synaptics: Touch-and-drag while scrolling

Say there's text you want to highlight, but it spans more than the current amount displayed on your screen. On a touchpad, I do the touch-and-drag gesture (tap once, then drag with touchpad) until I highlight all of the text. However, if the text is large, then merely putting the mouse at the bottom of the screen makes for considerbly slow scrolling. Normally on Windows, I would instead apply a second finger to drag up and down, which would scroll the screen at a desired faster rate.
Is there an equivalent that you can do in Linux? The TapAndDragGesture in synaptics allows for the touch-and-drag feature, but it doesn't allow for the extra one where you can apply the second finger to scroll up/down while still highlighting. I haven't found any other alternatives that allow one to highlight while scrolling relatively fast. (LockedDrags doesn't do this either.)

This topic isnt really something normally answered in the Arch forums. Im not saying people wont answer (as I myself am going to), but generally this is something better for upstream developers to consider as opposed to Arch users. Just trying to point you in a more productive direction for the future Many times if you ask something like this Archers will just ignore you so you get the point..
That said, my touchpad on Arch works exactly as you describe desiring. I double-tap 1 finger to initiate the highlight function, then move down to select more text of course. If I reach the end of the visible page, I can simply swipe my second finger and it will initiate vertical scrolling without affecting text selection. FWIW, I switched to xf86-input-synaptics-git in the AUR for multitouch, and that is how it works for me.
I do not have edge scrolling or sustained scrolling enabled on my system as it drives me nuts. When I really want to select a ton of text quickly, Ill initiate by holding the left touchpad mouse button down, then two-finger scrolling up or down. That is the easiest way for me..

Lag between Sky +HD box and Sky Multiroom box

I've just started using a +HD box on our main TV and a standard non-HD Multiroom box in the kitchen. Yesterday we started noticing a time lag between the two of them whereas before we had the HD box, it was fine. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Nick180 wrote: ...........Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. It's not a problem. There is substantially more data to be processed , from playout, through satellite, then down to your Sky box and tv, with an HD broadcast than with the same SD broadcast. Usually takes a second or two longer. As Mark says, it's perfectly normal.

How do I sync iMessage between my iPod touch and my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion?

I have just recently downloaded Mountain Lion and I also have an iPod touch that I use iMessage on. I was wondering if there was any way to sync the messages between the two devices.

"I just got a new laptop and downloaded itunes, but the itunes library doesn't have any songs."
Probably because you didn't put any music on your new computer. It doesn't magically appear.
"Does this mean that if I sync my ipod on my laptop all the songs on my ipod will get erased?"
Yes.
Move all of the music ( and all of your other info/pics/docs/etc) from your old computer to your new one.
As provided you can just use your backup copy for this. It is one of the many reasons that ALWAYS maintaining a backup copy is basic.

As long as I´m in Germany I get connection between my Ipad touch and Mac. As soon as I´m abroad with my Ipad it doesn´t get connected anymore. Whats going on?

Dear all,
I bought a Ipod touch because I´m interested in video calls and would like to get conneced to my MacBook Pro at home (or better with my familiy, of course). As long as I have an wifi connection in Germany everything works perfect.. No problem at all. But whether from France, UK or USA I get a connection. From both end the call can be recognized (ringing) but it finally doesn´t get to the connection....
What can I do to solve this issue?

I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
What's the secret?

Is there a way to get iCloud tabs to sync between my iPod touch and Safari for Windows?

I would like to know if there is a setting or something that I'm missing over...
I already have iTunes and the iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 8 computer. Is the iCloud Tab feature Mac-only or can I get it to sync with Safari for Windows? Thanks for the help.

OS X Lion and Windows 7 users can still sync Bookmarks and the Reading List with iOS devices via iCloud when using Safari 5.1. The iCloud Control Panel 2.1 for Windows also supports syncing Bookmarks with Internet Explorer 9, but not the Reading List as IE simply doesn’t have an equivalent feature.
While not as seamless as the iCloud Tabs feature, Bookmarks and Reading List can still be an effective way to share pages between your Windows 7 PC and your iOS devices; if you’re using Safari on Windows, the Reading List is best for storing and sharing one-time content while Bookmarks obviously are better suited for keeping track of pages that you may want to refer back to more than once.

According to this, I think you can.

Can you text between two iPod touch iPods and is it free?

Can you text between two iPod touches and is it free? Is it free to text from Canada to US?

Yes and yes. Both iPodsneed to have iOS 5 installed.

I have a big difference of free space between my 32GB iPod and 32GB iPad when sync'd with iTunes.

Why is there such a difference in my free space between my iPod Touch and my iPad (3) as indicated below:
                        iPod               iPad
Songs               1,107               774
Videos                   18                30
Photos               6,230           4,720
Apps                    111               113
Capacity           28.4GB          28.0GB
Avail (Free)       15.6GB            3.2GB
Is there anyway of recapturing free space on my iPad without removing songs, pictures, applications, etc. ??

How much space is Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
 Cheers, Tom

I just found out my iPod touch will only sync to one library, what is the difference in technology of the iPod touch and iPod that makes this so?

I just found out in iTunes help that my iPod touch will only sync to one library unlike iPod. What is the difference in technology between the iPod touch and the iPod that makes this so?
Thanks

You can manage music and videos among different computers/libraries by following these instructions. You can only sync apps and photos from one library.

Scrolling lag? Delay between touch and display.

I've had 4 replacement iPhone 5's so far and the latest one seems to have a slight lag between the touch and the response I get from the display. Furthermore, if I go to any webpage and scroll up and down sometimes it'll stop scrolling completely and ignore my touch.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnioM-nkhqc
This video does an okay job of demonstrating the issue but I haven't noticed it on my previous replacement iPhones, only this one. I know they opened up my current one's hardware to tighten a screw on the lock button but am unsure as to whether or not the display was affected. I don't know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue but some reports are saying 6.1 fixes it. However, I'm on 6.1.4 and restored twice already and the issue still persists.

One way to replicate this is to go into safari and onto a page like Yahoo.com and continuously scroll up and down. After a few seconds sometimes it will stop scrolling altogether. I don't have another iPhone with me to test this problem and finding videos of people scrolling is harder than I thought. I just don't want to go into the Apple store again and have them tell me it's not a big deal and send me home. Also, the acceleration on scrolling never seems to get very high and stays at a flat rate unless you contiuously swipe the screen. I thought it was supposed to accelerate depending on how fast you flick with your finger as it has done in all my other iproducts but this is not the case and everything seems to lag.
