View Full Version : xda orbit - touch screen too... damned sensitive

Hi there,

I currently have an M3100 (Hermes) and the touch screen on it is great. I like to use my fingers so if I'm in tomtom I can push the buttons without really needing to worry about how I press the screen. (e.g. I normally just smudge it up with my no-fingernail fingers).

Work got a batch of Orbits in, but the screen is really really awful. It seems to be that the screen is very particular how you touch it in order for it to recognise it has been touched. I normally find myself turning my fingers round to try and use what little nail I have to just touch a small surface area to get it to work.

To be honest it is rubbish - and it's the same for anything.

Anyone any ideas how to reduce its sensitivity or if there is a new touch.dll that can be used?

Thanks a lot!

Dan

Well i'm still waiting mine to arrive, however a screen protector must remove a little of the sensitivity...

Having had a Hermes as my last phone, I personally dont have a problem with the Orbits touchscreen.

The screen protector that came with it from O2 was crap and I took it off. Too spongy and did not help at all with the "feel" of the touchscreen.

I had a Martin Fields protector on the Hermes and am awaiting delivery of one for the Orbit.

But just on its own it reacts fine, dont notice any difference between the Orbit and Hermes.

Just my view. Not everyone uses their phones the same way.

This is the 3rd HTC touchscreen phone I have owned and I have never experienced such phenomena...

However I have noticed that while in tomtom, I get the quickest responses when I tap with my finger backwards so the flat part (not the tip) of my finger nail makes contact with the screen.
