TungstenE2 touchscreen problems again

I've bought two TungstenE2s in the past two years. A year ago, my first E2 developed a problem that would NOT allow me to use the letter or number input areas. When I tapped them, all I would get was a period every time I tapped.
When I called Palm, they were no support at all and told me to send in for paid repair.
Rather than do that, like an idiot I bought another E2. It has worked fine until today, when I did a touchscreen reset using the bullseyes. After that I was once again unable to input text or numbers. I can believe that I got a lemon ONCE, but with the same problem happening with the second device IT HAS GOT TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE E2.
I do not HotSync with my computer and use the E2 purely as an organizer and calendar planner. Has anyone found a way to fix this problem which makes the device useless?

Hello alancas, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
It sounds like you might have "Write On Screen" activated! This turns your entire screen into a Grafitti area.
Go to the Prefs icon, then "Writing Area". If "Write On Screen" is active, turn it off.

Touchpad touchscreen problems (erratic behavior/not responding correctly/etc) temporary solution.

I bought a HP Touchpad about a month or two after it came out. It worked pretty much as you'd expect it to until some time ago. I started getting a problem where the screen would go crazy and not respond correctly to my touch inputs. Web pages would jump all over the place, cards would zoom out, etc, in other words, they would behave erratically. After some testing I noticed that certain areas of the touchscreen would NOT respond at all to inputs while others would make the screen go crazy like I mentioned previously. I looked for information on the web to see if other people where having the same problem and found reports of the same behavior. Unfortunately there where no solutions offered. At that point I tried turning on and off the Touchpad which did not resolve the problem. My next step was to try to reinstall the OS with WebOS Doctor, but I read a post where the user reported similar behavior and reinstalling with WebOS Doctor didn't fix the problem. Needless to say I was bummed out since I figured it was a hardware problem with the touchscreen. After more testing I found a temporary solution to the problem which seems to suggest that the probem could be software. The solution when you get the problem is to hold down the power button and the home button at the same time and keep them pressed until the screen shuts down and the touchpad restarts. Once the OS comes back up it works like it is supposed to until you get the next episode of screen epilepsy. At that point you need to do the procedure again and it will fix the problem temporarily. Usually the fix lasts for a few days in my case. The fix also solves other problems I have with the touchpad. Problems like, videos not playing fluidly or freezing every few seconds although the sound plays fine (youtube), sound gets messed up (sounds are played in a robot like pitch), and others. If anybody has questions or other suggestions let me know, I will answer the as best as I can.

I think the YouTube and sound problems are separate from the other erratic behaviour. Recently my touchpad won't play YouTube videos beyond certain points, starting a few seconds in possibly due to the advertising pop-ups - I can skip forwards, but that means I miss crucial parts. My sound also goes 'robot-like' until a reboot, which is incredibly annoying! Your touchscreen problems may be specific to your device - try going to Device Info / Diagnostics and see if that tells you anything.

Iphone 4s touchscreen stops responding after a minute or so, I then have to wait at least a minute before the touchscreen works again but soon after it stops responding. I have tried hard reset, turning it off over night, etc

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

XPERIA Z1 touchscreen problems while getting hot

Hi guys, I'm the owner of the Xperia Z1 for 2 months, and if I play demanding games, phone is getting hot, I know it's normal, BUT, when the phone is really hot, touchscreen have some problems, when I drawing lines, something interrupts my drawing, and when I'm moving in games which need to hold the thumb on screen, sometimes it interrupts too, I read a lot of forums about Z1 touchscreen problem, but i dunno it is software problem or hardware O.o plz help.

one of my friends , today has bought a brand new xperia z1, tho i warned him, and he ignored me saying that mine was defective, and guess what, KA booom
it has the same problem as my unit hahaha, you guys should've seen his face
still the sony guys won't reply to me cause they know the problem and still shy about it, we wen't back to the sony shop, they told us that many users who have z1 compact and z ultra are coming for the same fault,
do you guys think it's a driver problem related to the snapdragon 800 ?
come on guys let this thread alive again, if you make it die, sony will live you with a defective phone as long as you still own one of their dragon 800 device.
this is very sad, as i find the xperia z1 much snappier than xperia z2 and z3

The same problem again with HP Simple Pass fingerprint reader after upfrading from Firefox 4 to Firefox 5. I have already installed HPSimPlePass 7.0.74.0 to fix the problem after upgrading to Firefox 4.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6 with a fingerprint reader. I had the same problem as many other people when upgrading to Firefox 4, : I couldn't use the HP Simple Pass to enter a website needing a username and password by just swiping my fingerprint. I fixed the problem by downloading the new HPSimPlePass 7.0.74.0. This fixed the problem and I was very happy. Since upgrading to Firefox 5 I have the same problem again, but I already have the new version of HP Simple Pass. How can this be fixed so that I can use this fingerprint scan feature again, or where can I download Firefox 4 again?

Audio Render Problems Again

I'm having problem again rendering a one hour presentation. If I use Command/R, the dialog box indicates seven or more days. If I highlight the selection I get essentially the same estimated time.
Command/R usually works, but not this time. Audio For Playback is checked.
The DV timeline plays in Quick Time OK.
I desperately need to get this video sent out! I even deleted preferences using the "Preference Manager" program.
David

All of my lecture video series are recorded in LP 16 bit audio. Each lecture is between 1 to 1.5 hr in length. I have successfully completed 10 of the 23.
Each lecture is sent to iMovie HD and then the timeline.mov is placed into FCE. One other time the timeline audio would not render, so I converted it to DV via MPEG Stream Clip and placed it back into FCE. The lecture I'm having trouble with is #11.
As mentioned, usually Command-R will do the trick in 10 minutes or so, not 6 to 10 days.

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Why am I having update problems again?

When I started Muse today I received a message that there was a new update and did I want to install. I said yes and it proceeded, when complete I received this pop up message:
Title, Adobe AIR - "Intial content could not be loaded for this application. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance".
But you can't re-install because it shows it's already installed. This happen to me a month ago and I had to un-install Muse & reboot before I could re-install.
Why is this happening? Is there a way I could open up Muse without going through a un-install again. This only happens with Muse updates which occur when starting Muse, other Adobe updates that take place through the Creative Cloud control panel are fine.
I just tried again, same problem

Help Again.
My computer just doesn't like Muse & apparently CC programs. After all this time when starting Muse I have been ignoring the message to update because I'm afraid if I say yes I will have the above problem again. Today I got brave and said yes and Muse would not open again!
So I returned to this site and used the link you gave me before to reinstall Muse, when it finished it told me that there was a newer version 7.4 available and would I like to install it and I said yes, and it seemed to work and opens fine.
I also had a request to install the latest update of Creative Cloud so I said yes. Everything went fine. I got really brave and I noticed that there was a newer version of Muse CC 2014 and I installed it but now that CC and other CC programs tell me I need a sign in with my adobe ID to try a 30 trial, if I press the License This Software button it asks me for a Serial Number. Why can't I open CC programs without a serial number, I am a Creative Cloud member? I have 2 Icons on my desktop, Adobe Muse.exe which works and Adobe Muse CC that tells me I need a serial number.

TouchSmart IQ506 Touchscreen Problems

Our company recently got a TouchSmart IQ506 with Windows Vista 64bit, and everything was working fine. We did a fresh reformat, got it in the network and ran all the updates and such. As you may, or may not, know, the IQ506 doesn't have a VGA port to setup a second monitor or connect to a projector, so in order to use the TouchSmart mirroring an image to the projector we purchased StarTech's USB 2.0 to VGA Display Adapter. I installed the drivers and got it working and mirroring the image properly, however, now I am having a problem with the touchscreen.
The touchscreen is responding when I touch it, but the pointer is flushed all the way to the right. The mouse follows my stylus up and down with me, but it doesn't come to the left. It is as if the screen is only reading the y-coordinates of where I am touching, and the x-coordinates are stuck all the way to the right.
The touchscreen was working perfectly fine before I installed the graphics card driver, and the software to get the VGA display adapter to work. The mouse and keyboard is working fine, everything is perfect except for this touchscreen problem. I am 99% sure it is a software issue, and I wanted to know if there is a known issue, or if anyone else has had this kind of problem. I'm assuming it is the software for the VGA display adapter, and was wondering if that is the case, what alternatives I can make so the TouchSmart can support a second display without having touchscreen, or any other, problems.
Sorry in advance if there is already a topic on this issue, I went thorugh the forums and didn't find anything about this.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It sound like the calibration screen and the touch "focus" has been shifted to the "primary" display - which is the last added display adapter. I don't have the setup to test, but you might be able to fix by selecting the Touch panel as the primary display (maybe). You may be stuck because the USB adapter will always be enumerated as the last device.
Perhaps...
1) Plug in USB adapter to enable display.
2) Go into display options and select Touchscreen as Primary and make sure "extend desktop" is unchecked.
You may also be able to trick the system by going into DM and removing reinstalling the real primary display adapter.
If all fails, you should be able to unplug the USB device and use MS system restore to go back when it was working properly.
Of course, I am saying all this without having the hardware in front ofme. I've played around with mutiple displays enough to know that you get into some funny behaviour when you have two distinct video adapters installed in the system. The best multi-display solution are those driven from one adapter - one video card with an HDMI and a DVI for example.
If you figure this out, please reply back. I'd like to know if it is possible to keep touch while using another adapter.

A dns problem again?

I sent email to [email protected] but the engineer there said he did not receive it. Also, I did not receive the email he sent to me through his sun.com email. it sounds a dns problem again.
I have changed our mx record to:
@ IN MX junk.domain.com.
before, it was:
@ IN MX junk ==>would this cause dns problems?
Here is the entry in the mail.log which seemed that sun has received my email successfully:
09-Dec-2005 09:39:10.59 tcp_local D 2 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] [email protected] dns;btmx1.sun.com (relay1.sun.com [IntraStore TurboSendmail] ESMTP Service ready) smtp;250 recipient <[email protected]> OK

Your log shows that Sun did indeed receive your mail.
Sun's mail infrastructure has been under DOS attack for some days. Sometimes that's caused delays of up to several hours for inbound mail to get to us.
We also have had some virus infected systems pounding our servers. More delays.
We do contract with an external company to scan for spam/virus scanning. Those folk historically have lost us some mails, too.
Your MX record isn't likely to make any difference in you sending out mail, but in your ability to receive mails, yes.

I was going to put it in the Infinity forum but as there were other similarish ones here, and that my problem is reagrding a connection issue (my modem gets Inifinity just fine), I thought thought the connection issues forum would be the correct place.
Also as HH3 is not Infinity specific, I thought the problem was not necessarily Inifinity specific either
Even so, thanks for putting in the correct place.

Touchscreen Probleme

Hallo liebe Apple Community,
vor einigen Tagen war ich mal wieder mit meinem iPod Touch 3g joggen, als es auf einmal zu regnen anfing.
Daraufhin schaltete ich den iPod aus um mögliche Schäden zu vermeiden. Als ich wieder zu Hause ankam konnte ich den iPod nicht mehr anschalten, also ließ ich ihn einige Tage lang einfach liegen. Danach ging er auch wieder bis auf einen kleinen Wackelkontakt des Standby-Schalters einwandfrei.
Ein paar Tage danach fing er dann immer wieder an, abzustürzen, also schloss ich ihn an meinen PC an und als dieser meldete er könne die Daten des iPods nicht lesen, stellte ich diesen wieder her.
Danach verweigerte der Touchscreen leider komplett den Dienst, was er vor der Wiederherstellung noch nie getan hatte.
Ich führte also eine erneute Wiederherstellung durch und probierte auch ein Hard-Reset - kein Erfolg.
Mittlerweile funktioniert der Touchscreen immer mal wieder kurz und dann auch wieder nicht mehr und ich muss ihn dann erneut 2-3 Male wiederherstellen bis der Touchscreen dann wieder für ein paar Minuten funktioniert.
Was glaubt ihr? Handelt es sich um einen Hardware Fehler? Oder kann es an der Software liegen? Und wie komme ich zu einer Lösung des Problems?
Über alle konstruktiven Antworten würde ich mich sehr freuen!

Also ich habe jetzt meine iPod 2 Tage lang in einer Schüssel voller Reis gelassen. Danach ging er erst mal gar nicht an. Als ich ihn dann ein paar Stunden ladend liegengelassen habe ging er dann auch wieder an allerdings besteht das Touchscreen Problem nach wie vor. Ich habe auch schon mehrmals eine Wiederherstellung probiert.
Der Anleitung kann ich leider nicht folgen, da ich meinen iPod nicht entriegelt bekomme und ich somit auch nicht an die Einstellungen herankomme.
Allerdings sind nach wie vor die Wassersensoren nicht aktiviert.
Was soll ich tun?
