Touch-sensitive buttons of Zen Mi

i am intrested in buying this item, however i don't have the chance to "feel before i buy"..
so i have concerns about touch-sensiti've buttons of the unit. do they get triggered by accident while the player is in the pocket ? how useful and comfortable are they in reality ? do unwanted/unexpected 'keypresses' occur while the unit is in a hand, or in a pocket or carrying bag ?
thanks

In using my Zen Micro for the past 3 weeks, I'd say you have to 00% of the time put it on hold when you are not using it. I mean EVERY time you put it in your pocket, bag, or out of use, you have to put it on HOLD. Maybe once it's in your pocket the buttons won't activate, but it's nearly impossible to reach into your pocket or even put it into your pocket without "touching" a button.
When you use the carry case, it is even more annoying because the casing makes it harder to access the hold button. However, when it's in the case clipped to my belt, I don't use hold then.
Put it this way, when you WANT to use the touch buttons, they are cool. When you don't want to, they are extremely annoying. I'd say, make only the center strip like on the Zen Touch touch sensiti've, make the other buttons click, no need for them to be all touch buttons. Nice gimmick, but not practical at all. Plus, 50% of the time the "back" button doesn't work on the st or even 2nd "touch."
Otherwise, I've been happy with it. Great sound quality and I li've the ZERO lag time from powering on to hearing music. Very nice.

  • Lenovo G530 Touch Sensor Buttons

    I was wondering if there was a way to disable the upper touch sensitive button that disables the lower touch pad. Any help would be great

    If you are referring to the uppermost right button above the keyboard, that buttons allows you to turn the touch pad on or off.  I've yet to accidentally touch that button -- it's well out of the way.  I don't know how to disable it.

  • Ideapad S405 Touch Sensitive Mouse Buttons

    Hi
    I have recently bought an Ideapad S405.
    I have noticed that the area for left and right mouse buttons is also touch sensitive.
    Because of it the mouse moves a bit whenever I press the left or the right mouse button.
    This is quite a bit irritating for me.
    Any solutions ??
    Regards
    Hitesh

    Hi Hitesh,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to hear that the touchpad buttons are sensitive and move the cursor while the buttons are pressed. Hence, I would suggest you to change the settings of “Edge Motion Region” to resolve this issue. To perform this, please perform till the 3rd step from the below link and then click on Pointer Motion> Edge Motion Region>Then set the region so that it will not affect the touchpad buttons. Please let me know the findings:

    Do post us back if the issue persists.

  • Lower click wheel unresponsive, reqind button is touch sensitive

    I recently bought a 16GB nano from a guy i found on a local classified ad. I thought everything was good, until i started listening to music, and i could only use the upper side of the click wheel to turn up the volume, the lower side is unresponsive. also, when i was trying to turn up the volume, moving by the rewind button would restart the song... its like the rewind button is touch sensitive. the ipod is in warranty, so is it possible for me to go to the apple store and replace it?

    wow, someone help?

  • Zen Touch Sensitivity Out of Cont

    <EM>I</EM> have seen many, many posts that talk about the over-sensitivity of the Zen Touch. My unit is at the point where when I attempt to put together playlists "on the go", the screen, at whatever point it feels like, accelerates to warp speed and goes to one of the "play" categories thus wiping out the choices in the "Selected" list. I have tried ALL sensitivity settings and I am not rushing the process. There must be a download that Creative can come up with to lessen the sensitivity of the Zen Touch. Sticking their head in the sand is certainly not going to make it go away. To say that this issue has me frustrated is a vast understatement.

    I had the same problem with my touch initially, and it almost made me take it back. Believe me, this is my third Creative Player, so taking it back would have made me sadder than I should admit.
    I had some luck with the reset idea I found here at the forums.
    Also, I believe that if your fingers are too dry the touch pad becomes very unresponsi've. If I do not have access to some hand lotion, I just give my finger a lick - as if I were seperating paper - and it is better.
    It seems to me too that too much lotion does bad thing to the pad as well, but a quick wipe with a damp cloth does wonders.
    I find that resetting my player each morning keeps this problem away.
    YMMV

  • Nokia 701 touch sensitive problem

    I have with me 701 with the latest firmware version, i often have touch sensitive problem. Sometimes it get ok by just switch off the phone and sometime by removing battery (becoz then button too don't work).
    what should i do?
    Someone Plz help !

    Hi salih_367,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
    We're sorry to hear about your problem. It seems that your Nokia 701 headphone plug has a connectivity problem. As the problem is likely caused by the phone hardware, it is something you cannot fix yourself without voiding the warranty.  What you can do however, is to check if the socket may have gotten some dirt or fluff in and try clean it. 
    If the problem persists, we would advise you to visit your nearest Nokia Care Point and let them have a look. 
    Let us know how you get on,

  • Missing Themes option and touch sensitivity is strange..Sticky swiping

    Just bought 2 new blackberry storm 9350 one from Amazon and one from ebay for my husband. Both arrived new in their individual boxes. One was made in Canada (Amazon), and one was made in Mexico (ebay). The one made in Canada does not have options to choose different themes.  That is my main concern.  
    A second strong concern is  the touch sensitivity is really sticky on the one from Canada.  The touch sensitivity is real nice on the one from Mexico.  I set touch sensitivity exactly the same on each, but the Canadian one is not nice at all swiping is really sticky. 
    Note:   This is my 3rd blackberry storm, and my husband's 2nd.  These 2 are not acting quite like the earlier ones.
    3rd issue is that The one from Canada did not come with a charger...Only the adapters for foreign outlets but no charger to plug them into.  It did come with a manual and cds. However the one from Mexico did not come with a manual or cds (luckily I have one from the other box)

    This is a partial duplicate:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Storm/mms-missing/m-p/2603751#M67694
    But, given the additional information in this thread, I would deduce that the condition of at least one, and perhaps both, of the devices is not "new"...rather, a used device that has been carefully repackaged so as to deceive the purchaser into thinking they have bought a truly new device.
    Good luck!

  • Top of the screen not touch sensitive sometimes.

    I bought a brand new razr maxx 2 weeks ago.  Right after I got it I found that periodically the top of the screen would not be touch sensitive.  I would not be able to pull down the notification panel or click on buttons in apps where the button was at the top.  This would happen sometimes and other times it would work fine. 
    I also noticed that during the time the top of the screen was not sensitive, the rest of the phone was fine.  Using the developer debugging tools it showed that I could not move the pointer to the top of the screen.
    It would fix itself in the following way:  after a while the screen would freeze.  At that time if I pressed the power button to turn the screen (and not the phone) off and then on, it would start working again.
    I have done a full factory reset.  I did not add any new apps since I got the phone.  I tried killing various processes.  Nothing helped.
    I showed it to the verizon technician and his only suggestion was to get a replacement phone (which will be refurbished).  Since I think this might be a software issue, I am not sure how that would help.
    I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to how to fix this issue.
    thanks,
    --S

        Hi Leotor
    The problems you described would be very upsetting. Let's get this addressed. I'm not showing any known issues with the screen and freezing. It may be the device itself. We may need to look at a replacement.
    Our replacements do pass a thorough inspection. See all about them here: http://bit.ly/R69yVZ
    Please send me a private message with your account information. I would be glad to get a replacement device ordered.
    Thank you

  • G530 Touch sensitive volume control panel

    After a quick reformat of my G530, the touch sensitive volume control panel (four black circular buttons in the upper right part above the keyboard) still works but the volume up/down buttons are in slow increments of 2% whereas before blue rectangular sound bars showed up on the screen when pressed and the sound increased by increments of 10%.
    Where can I find the drivers for the touch sensitive volume control panel? I've looked everywhere but can't find them.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    BUGS \ ISSUES 
    3. Upon trying to share via NFC with Samsung Tab 2 it didnt work + soon after disabling the NFC my phone's Hard Buttons (all) went unresponsive. Only Screen Touch worked and I was on settings screen from where i couldnt navigate anywhere unless the Back and the Windows button work. The Phone screenwent off in 30 seconds and it was unresponsive on any button press. U tried calling myself and it was ringing but 920 didnt even lit up or show any signs of incoming call. I had to perform a battery pull by pressing volume down and power post which it booted fine.
    You won't be able to share anything via NFC with the Galaxy Tab because it actually uses WiFi direct to do the file sharing but the 920 uses Bluetooth. NFC is there to just pair the two devices but not to transfer data between the two.
    Also, from what you have described, your phone froze which has been known to happen and you correctly performed a simulated battery pull. 

  • Getting Stuck, touch sensitivity in iPod touch 4G

    Hi, I purchased iPod touch 4G recently one month back. It was working fine but now it is getting stuck when I am unlocking it (where we need to drag the arrow to unlock it). Also, it's touch sensitivity is also getting bad. I am keeping it with utmost care. I don't know what is happening. It is 8 GB version and I used 3 GB till now. This morning the problem got worse when I tried to zoom in or zoom out a a mail by my fingers, nothing was happening. Then I went to a pic where zoom feature worked fine and after that zoom worked in mail as well. But why this is happening? I can't understand. Please help.
    Thanks.

    - Make sure the touch screen is clean.  A micro cloth is good for cleaning the screen.
    - I would try in order the following:
    -- Reset the iPod:
    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.
    -- Restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First restore from backup.  If problems persist, restore to factory defaults.
    -- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • 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?

    Hello Jonny
    Those buttons are controlled by Toshiba Button Support utility and this utility is part of Value Added Package. To be honest I don't know if there is some way to enable/disable the buttons functionality but if you want you can try to do follow:
    Remove preinstalled VAP from the system (Control Panel > Programs and Features), restart the notebook and install latest VAP for your notebook model listed on Toshiba Support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads.
    Please let me know if everything works well again.
