Touchscreen Issues?  email this discussion to a friend?

I've had my cellphone for about 8 months now. I got an LG Voyager. It has a touchscreen front and flips open for the full keyboard. I love the keyboard and it has turned me into a fan of texting. But on the other hand, I have some issues with the touchscreen.

Many times I will tap the screen (and I have set ti to chirp when I touch something)it will chirp but nothing happens, or it goes to the wrong place. I have calibrated the screen a few times, but it doesn't really seem to help. And the scrolling function also is not the best.

Does anyone else have similar issues with their touchscreen? Any suggestions?

I have an HTC touchscreen phone and sometimes I have an issue with it not responding to screen taps. But that is about it I have never had that serious of a problem. I would say maybe take it to your providers retail store I know people that take their phones there and they will do like a diagnostic on it.

I just bought an LG EnV touch yesterday, and the touchscreen can be touchy, as I do have a tendency to touch the wrong thing, and to scroll with it, is the pitts. For that, I just use the inside screen, as it is much easier. I like the keyboard feature anyway. I do have to unlock my phone everytime I go to use it, but that is okay, as I would have a tendency to hit something that I don't want to, so having that feature on helps. I hd a hard time figuring out the way the touch sreen worked, but I am figuring it out soon enough. I think that touch screen phones are the wave of the future. I chose it over teh other phonse I saw since I had never had one before, and I do think I will like it a lot. Have a great day, and happy mylotting. happy

Hey! Have you figured out your touchscreen issues? The reason I ask is that I am looking into getting a new phone soonish and want one of the Smartphones so badly. But if the screen is really touchy, I may rethink my choice of the touchscreen on the front.

I stumbled upon these tips in a site.Hope it is of any help to you.happy

1. Sunshine is not your friend.
Don’t bother trying to dial from that sunny beach. It’ll be a wash out. Of course you can always turn the screen brightness up full and watch your battery life plummet.
2. Grease is your enemy.
Get yourself a good cleaning cloth immediately because you’ll need it.
3. Fat fingers fumble.
Get used to mis-hitting keys if you’ve got stubby fingers. It’s fair to say that touchscreens don’t like chubby people.
4. Pockets get picky.
From now on your pocket holds one device only. Forget about throwing your keys, coins and assorted knick-knacks in with your new touchscreen gizmo, because that’s a recipe for disaster. Scratch, crack or worse.
5. Resolution, what resolution?
Prepare yourself for lots of repeated key presses. Stylii or fingertips will both need lots of work to select the thing you want first time. Patience is a virtue eh?
6. Forget about one hand SMS texting.
Your new screen needs two handed love for any form of complex text input, stylus or no. Live with it.
7. Screen protectors have a price.
Remember that glare washout and grease smear? Add on a screen protector sheet and watch the problems triple in intensity. Safety costs, people.
8. Trapped dirt hurts.
Bad luck if you get dirt or dust trapped underneath the screen surround. You’ll recognise the symptoms of ‘touchscreen trauma’ when it starts selecting items for you by itself.
9. It’s complex baby.
Touchscreens are very complex items. Unlike keypads there’s a lot of things that can go wrong. Deteriorating response, unruly calibration, lock outs. Be prepared for some interesting and annoying problems.
10. The eyes have it.
Touchscreens give no tactile feedback, so you’ll have to look at the screen constantly to operate your device. No fast SMS texting on the move, no quick call from a single press of the green button, no dial by touch operations at all. Enjoy.
