Poor touchscreen sensitivity?

[skyrocketeer]

I don't know if it's just me but I found out while playing Draw Something that the touchscreen on the Skyrocket is not sensitive enough. I don't know if it's the phone's problem or an if it's an Android onTouchEvent() problem.
While playing Draw Something, I can touch the screen lightly and a dot appears when I am drawing. The problem occurs when I touch the screen and drag my finger a little; however, when I do this, no "ink" appears until I drag my finger a certain amount.

On my previous phone, Palm Pre, there was a homebrew patch that decreased the touch drag radius. Is there anything similar to this on android or am I stuck with this problem?
Sorry if this question has been asked before!


Edit: On the iPhone, this problem does not exist; "ink" shows up immediately when I drag my finger.
Edit2: I am Using TouchUtil and the touch screen is reading my finger's 'down' action, but when I start dragging my finger, it jumps exactly 16 pixels before the 'move' action registers. (screenshot attatched)

Ah, the flamer. How about, Please go read my sig. Or do you not know how to read? I'VE NEVER OWNED AN IPHONE dumb ass .
I am not complaining, merely pointing this out.
Hmm? Is your Skyrocket's touch screen any better than mine? Didn't think so.
Get an iPhone then maybe you can be a douche. Just maybe

Try flashing sky ics, the touch screen is way more responsive than in stock.

Edit: nevermind, just saw your sig.



is there any way to objectively test the sensitivity?

Well, I tested the screen using Touchutil and the amount I move my finger before the program recognizes my finger is 16 pixels. Proof in the screenshot attatched in the OP

It's the way android is made. You can't fix it, the OS has a lower IRQ than touch (exactly like desktop).

On iOS and WP7, the touch has a lower IRQ, giving the smoother impression...

I think it was Andy Rubin who explained this?
