Default Touch Buttons

Is it just me or are the three bottom touch screen buttons finnicky not always responsive on the first click? Like when you're clicking it one of the touch buttons quickly, you have to wait a second then touch the button again for a response. Also your thumb has to be right on the button, can't touch corners etc.

Do you guys find you often have to repress one of the touch buttons on the bottom?

Nope. Maybe you're missing the button.

Yes - especially when it is in my car dock.

My HTC Evo 4G has some kind of issue where the screen would not register touch if you laid it on a table or something but it worked fine if you held it in your hand. They were able to fix this with a software update (I have no idea how).

The Nexus feels like the same kind of issue - the soft buttons work ok if I'm holding it but on the table they don't seem to register a push well.

i noticed this too,
BUT, i also noticed that you have to pretty much touch the actual icon itself.
i tried tapping in-between the keys and noticed that it didn't do anything.


so no worries man, noting is wrong with your phone.

fwiw i have a wet screen protector on, so that might attribute to it.

As do I.

Anyone else noticing this 'issue'?

Same issue here, I'm wondering if they dialed down sensitivity too much to avoid accidental presses while typing? I think it should only reduce sensitivity while the keyboard is up, not always.

Hope they increase the sensitivity a bit

i've seen stuff like this on other phones like my Samsung Wave S8500, some areas of the touchscreen don't respond properly unless part of you is touching the phone case, probably caused by the way capacitive touchscreens work?

I just find the multi task button is a bit laggy, but this could be to do with redrawing the app images that's about it.
