Windows 8.1 and touch screen availability

I'm used to use Windows 8.1 and could be interested in a W540. I've however observed, that W540 is only being shipped with the one year older Windows 8 despite Windows 8.1 was actually RTM'ed before W540 began shipping.
Will there be W540 announced with Windows 8.1 or W540 stops with Windows 8?
Nobody needs to respond that I can just upgrade to Windows 8.1 because I don't want to fiddle with the imperfections caused by this.
Will W540 be released with a touch screen or it'll stay with a classic non-touch "output-only" screen?
Best regards,
Henrik Dahl

First, the rumor is that touch on the W540 will be available H1, but not earlier. If you look at Dell's M3800 with touch, they have delays until mid-March with their Retina touch panels, so it'll take a while for the W540 to be available with touch. It is also possible that the W540 won't be available with touch until Intel's Haswell refresh comes out, but who knows.
Second, if you install the Windows 8.1 upgrade, please take care to check the "Brick your W540" thread, as there is something wrong with the bios and Intel Rapid Start-up Technology. It may result in your motherboard's failure, so disable RST before doing so.

TS3293 iPad not backed up message appears and touch screen does not respond

iPad not backed up message appears and touch screen does not respond

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot

Periodically the home key and touch screen are unresponsive

Hi,
I have an iPhone4 and have recently noticed that the home key and touch screen are becomming less responsive. Sometimes I have to press the home key a few times to get it to respond also with the touch screen very rarely does it respond when i swipe to unlock or answer a call. The only way to get the swipe to unlock or answer to work is to press the sleep/wake button which is annoying if trying to answer a call.
Any suggestions?

it's the hardware issue.
someway you show may act the lifetime of Home button .

Windows 8 upgrade problems (touch screen and audio)

my　computer is HP touchsmart 600 1005xt and recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8 (64-bit)
after up grading I noticed that the touch screen does not work and and the speakers also did not work

HI,
Here are a few tips that might help you to get your touch screen working:
Activate Windows and install updates by pressing the Windows logo key + W. Type "Activate Windows" into the search field, and then click on the Activate Windows icon that appears in the upper left corner of the screen. In PC Settings, click on Activate Windows, wait for your computer to connect to Microsoft, and then follow the onscreen instructions. Restart the computer. Press the Windows logo key + X, and select Control Panel from the menu. In the upper right corner of Control Panel, select Large Icons from the View by drop down. Click Windows Update. Install touch and/or graphics driver updates. Restart the computer.
Another thing to try: Go to the HP Support and Drivers site and click Drivers and Software. In the search field, enter your product name or number, and then click Next. Select your operating system from the drop-down, and then click next. (If you don't know if your operating system is 32- or 64-bit, press the Windows logo + X key again and select System from the menu.) Follow the onscreen directions to install any appropriate drivers. Restart the computer.
If the touch still doesn't work, try this: Press press the Windows logo + X key, and select Device Manager from the menu. In Device Manager, click the little triangle next to Display Adapters to expand the list. Right-click on the graphics card and select Disable. When asked if you want to disable the card, click yes. Restart the computer. You may have to tinker with your screen resolution.

Can no longer install drivers and touch screen not working anymore

I have the HP 520-1130ea all in one PC. Its a touchscreen. I have Windows 7 home premiun 64 bit operating system.
it has been working fine for the last two years and on Friday 11th april, i connected my android tablet (samsung Galaxy tab 7.0) to my pc and it could not install the drivers so my PC could not see the tablet. Last week this worked ok. I attach my tablet to my pc using a USB cable and transfer files by usb transfer. I dont use any software at all.
I have tried to reinstall the drivers for the android tablet and i get the error code that the drivers were found but they cant be installed. Access denied.
I have also tried to restore my pc to the last time everything worked ok which was just a week before the problem started, but the restore has failed on 4 occassions.
I have now deleted all updates on my PC from last week and i think I have deleted something or failed to allow something to isntall (a box popped up when i restarted the computer after the update delete which I ignored)
No my touch screen no longer works.
I plugged in an external hard drive to back up my computer and I also could not install the drivers for that too. this just happened today.
My printer is connected to my PC and that still works ok.
I have been battling with this for 4 days now and ploughed the internet for solutions and no hope in sight!
I have also tried:
1. installing optional updates. no luck there. also some of the updates failed
2. giving myself full control on the system 32 folder in windows.
I am the administrator on the PC.
HELP PLS!!!

Hi compnewbie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Thank you very much for your thorough post and detailed steps! I see that you are not being able to install drivers, and I would be happy to assist you!
The first suggestion I will make is to boot your computer in Safe Mode. To do this, please follow this document on Windows 7 Safe Mode. No extra software will be loaded, which will make this driver issue easier to troubleshoot. In Safe Mode, try to connect your external drive.
If you still cannot connect your external drive (or any other USB device), I recommend following this resource on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7). This should help diagnose any potential hardware problems with the computer.
If you are not able to detect any hardware problems on your computer, please follow this document on Restore files from a backup.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I will diligently follow up with you!
Best regards

Charm bar and touch screen don't mix

I have a surface tablet. I have windows RT 8.1. when I open a app and use the charm bar it either opens then closes right away before I even see the options, or it opens as long as I don't move my finger and try to open a option.
How do I fix this?

Hi lefty4ever,
When did this issue occur ?
Have you tried to use Win+C to open the charm bar to have a check ?
If it is possible ,please plug in a USB mouse to verify whether it is caused by the touch screen .
We can reset the display options to have a check. Open the Tablet PC Settings applet in Control Panel. Under "Display options", select the "Reset" button to have a check .
If the issue occurred ,it is recommended to perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous normal point .
Best regards

Built in microphone and touch screen doesn't work

Hi
I have problems with two things, my built in microphone doesn't record anything, also I tried all suggested steps of HP support.
Windows recognizes the microphone.
The touch screen doesn't work the touch part, but the display is working good.
Also i tried to update Drivers, but looks like Windows does not recognized the touch screen, when I going to Control Panel and search for touch screen stuff, I do not see anything.
I hope you can help me to fix this.
Thank you.

Hi @ldiego008 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 Notebook and the microphone and the Touchscreen not working correctly. If you follow this document it will show you how to correct this issue on the Touchscreen.
Try following this document document on Resolving Microphone and Line-in issues for Windows 8.1.
Here is something else that might help if you need it. If you go to the Device Manager (Audio inputs and outputs)and uninstall it from there restart the computer it should automatically reinstall it for you. This link shows you the Device Manager Screen shots that might help.
Hope this helps with both issues.
Thanks.

Lumia 2520 keyboard and touch screen won't match

I have a very strange problem with my Lumia 2520. I bought the keyboard for my Lumia 2520 and for a while everything worked well. But now more often than not I can no longer use the normal touch screen at all - or the keyboard. If I start the tablet without the keyboard, it might not respond to normal usage via touch and I actually have to insert the tablet into keyboard to have any use for it at all. And sometimes even when the tablet is inserted in the keyboard the keyboard won't respond and the only way to get the blasted thing to work is to use the touch screen.
Has anyone else experienced this sort of trouble? If so, did you simply recover the factory settings and start from there? Or what else did you do?

Hi Tiriol,
Welcome to the forum!
Did something happen to the tablet or keyboard before this issue came up? Make sure that your Lumia 2520 running the latest software. You can check this link for the steps on updating the Lumia 2520's software: Software Update for Nokia Lumia tablet with Windows RT.
Hope to hear your feedback soon.

A2109 charging and touch screen problem

When charging either via the stock AC wall adapter or via the stock USB cable to a computer the touch screen is totally unusable. I've read about grounding issues with chargers and various other android phones and tablets, but usually it doesn't happen for other people with the stock cables! Does anyone else experience this or know of a way to fix the issue? Its very annoying when you can't use it while charging...

Darkmuck, have you solved this issue? I am a recent user of this device and am experiencing similar problems.

My touch got sweated and touch screen no working

I sweated working outside and now my touch screen is not working right?

To restore app data, the apps have to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore. The iPod ackup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
To redownload iTunes purchases see:

Phone that supports location JSR, JSR179, and touch screen

Hi All
Does anyone know which phones that have touch screens support the location jsr (JSR179) ?
Regards
Steve

If this case is blocking or partially blocking the iPhone's proximity sensor, sure you can use it but this problem will remain.
If so, you can try increasing the size of the case opening around the earpiece - the sensor is located above and there is also a light sensor beside it which combined are wider than the earpiece opening or purchase another case that is better designed for the iPhone in this regard.

Apple TV and Touch Screen TV

Is it possibile to use a touch screen compatibile TV to control/navigate an Apple TV (3rd gen) connected to the TV.
For example say AirPlay mirrioring was enabled between an iPad and Apple TV, could the touch screen compatibile TV then be used to navigate around the iPad with gestures?

HT201412 iphone keeps freezing and touch screen wont work

the touch screen on my iphone keeps freezing up and won't respond to any touches. I have restored my phone two times and then it will work for awhile and then freeze up again. if i restart the phone several times it will start working again, but only for about 1 hour, and then it freezes again. any ideas how to fix this?

Leaving it in rice only overnight usually isn't sufficient to dry out an iPhone. It usually takes at least a couple of days before you can risk turning the iPhone back on. And with seawater infiltration, drying it out probably won't help since seawater will leave a lot of residue.
If resetting the iPhone doesn't bring the screen back:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
then the iPhone probably has suffered hardware damage and you'll need to take or send it to Apple and pay their out-of-warranty replacement charge, or the AppleCare+ fee if you had AppleCare+ coverage.
Regards.
