Folio -Maintenance Tips of Capacitive Touchscreen - Folio 100 General

1. How to Maintenance Capacitive Touchscreen?
There are 6 main factors would arouse capacitive touchscreen failure in daily life.
(1) Magnetic field
Keep away from magnetic field, especially for electromagnetic field! Stay away from magnetic screw and any other magnetic things. Even a little magnet would result in the temporary failure of touchscreen. Badly, it may cause permanent damage for capacitive screen. Don't close to baffle box and let alone leave it on baffle box casually after go back home.
(2) Static Electricity
Use a leather case! Static electricity is a big enemy of touchscreen, which may puncture the touchscreen. Although the glass surface of touchscreen adopts anti-static processing, it doesn't mean the capacitive screen can stand all the static electricity from human body. Actually leather case is anti-static, which is your better choice.
(3) Conductive Medium
Clean your hands before touch the screen! Actually the grease and sweat in hand is conductive medium, which is easy to form a conductive layer, so as to arouse inaccurate location in touch screen.
If the screen is covered by oil or water, it will floating and cannot respond normally.
(4) Unstable Voltage
Charge immediately when power falls below 20%. When you touch the screen, your finger will absorb subtle electricity. At this time, the electricity from 4 corners of the screen will be transmitted to the point where you touch. The touchscreen under the condition of unstable voltage will float or "die".
(5) High Temperature
If the temperature of capacitive touchscreen reaches 40-degree, your touchscreen will be inaccurate. Worse still, if you let your touchscreen have a sunbath in high temperature for a long time, it will be over. Hence, the ideal working temperature is from 0 to 35 degree with 5% humidity at least, according to the characteristics of touchscreen.
Advice: If temperature of your screen rises too high when you charge, please stop charging and wait for a moment until the temperature falls.
(6) Hard Force
As we all know, the silica glass in surface of capacitive touchscreen is scratch-resistant, but no ruler without an exception. If you punch a hole in a touchscreen by fingernail or hard object by accident, the inner ITO layers of touchscreen will be damaged. Naturally capacitive touchscreen will be on strike.
2. Maintenance of Capacitive Touchscreen — Summary
In daily life, the problems of capacitive touchscreen are common and easy to be ignored. The maintenance of capacitive touchscreen will influence the life of the capacitive touch screen directly. Once there is something wrong with your capacitive touchscreen, please calm down first and think about whether the problems are caused by those factors listed above. And then find the solution of problems.

Capacitive touch screens are curved or flat glass substrates coated with a transparent metal oxide. A voltage is applied to the corners of the overlay creating a minute uniform electric field. A bare finger draws current from each corner of the electric field, creating a voltage drop that is measured to determine touch location.
So,
Clean often using microfiber cloth is the best way.
Turn off the unit if we need to clean the screen with a damp cloth.
Liquid such as grease or water dried on the screen will left a conductive mark that may cause lagging.
Trapped dirt hurts -Bad luck if you get dirt or dust or liquid trapped underneath the screen surround. You’ll recognise the symptoms of ‘touchscreen trauma’ when it starts selecting items for you by itself.

Thank you, I'll follow your advices.

Reducing Scribe pen noise...

I haven't figure this out completely... But the pen seems to work through a layer of thin fabric. The fabric reduces the clacking sound of the pen against the glass. The screen (set to minimal brightness) was bright enough to be visible through my test piece of fabric, which happened to be a plain white undershirt. I also tried a casual linen shirt, but the coarse weave of the cheap shirt snagged the pen too often. A scrap of white dress shirt, finer linen, cloth napkin may also sufficiently reduce the noise, but i haven't experimented.
Again, I haven't thought this out completely. But for extended sessions of note-taking with the pen, it may be possible to fashion a "sleeve" / flap of cloth to reduce noise, and still keep the device presentable.
The alternative would be wrap or coat the pen tip with a soft conductive material... A scrap of plastic screen screen protector film comes to mind.
I may experiment further, but I've learned how to minimize the clacking through use... But I thought I'd post for those looking to quiet the pen down.
Cheers.

Cracked keys ?

I have no idea when and how but I have a couple of slightly damaged keys on my dock. The "x" key has slight damage and a hairline crack on the top edge and the ";" key has the top left corner almost cracked off completely. The plastic actually feels very brittle so I'm wondering if they are overly sensitive to even light impact ?
I almost always transport my Prime folded and in a bag or neoprene pouch and occassionally store it "back to back" when I have been reading a newspaper on the underground and am getting off - but there is nothing in that scenario I can feel that may impact the keyboard.
Le sigh.

[Q] DirectStylus Material?

I'd like to modify a pen so its cap acts as a direct stylus. I'm thinking of taking a good pen, attaching a magnet to the side and a point composed of DirectStylus compatible material to the top with superglue then sugru for an ergonomic yet stylush finish. The neodymium magnet should allow it to snap on the smart case mounts.
I want the tablet to recognize it as a stylus as well as measure pressure like nvidia's does.
I've googled to no avail, just that passive capacitative touch doesn't normally detect pressure and somehow the direct stylus does.
What sort of material does the direct stylus use?

While I can't answer your question, I will describe my observations of what ELSE gets registered on the screen:
- keys. yup that's right, I tried using my house key and the tip is recognized. I suspect any metal tip would work.
- ballpoint pen tips. I was trying to trace an image from the screen onto a piece of paper overlaid on it, and the picture kept moving!
- my headphones cord. found this out by accident when i was watching youtube and my screen was moving all over the place. took me a whole 5 minutes to figure out my headphone cord was in contact with the screen, and that caused the movements. so I suspect the outer housing was thin enough that the internal wiring could still get detected by the screen.
The pressure is definitely not detected in the Stylus though. It's just a passive stylus with no internal electronics at all. For pressure, you'll want to use a material that can deform, since I think that is how the screen detects it. More pressure means the initial size of the touch increases a greater amount.

"NVIDIA’s DirectStylus 2 is arguably a similar compromise, but it’s a clever one. The pen itself is regular plastic with an angled rubber tip, and the magic is all in the software and algorithms. Running the touch processing through the Tegra K1 means it’s able to differentiate in real-time between the nib, your fingers, and your palm resting on the display. DirectStylus 2 can even feign pressure sensitivity, by measuring the contact point as the tip deforms against the screen."

Screen separating from phone frame?

I have the Le Max 2 X820. It's about 14 months old. Tonight I noticed light seeping from under the screen. It's then that I realized that the screen was separating from the frame.
I powered it off, used very thin tweezers, dipped super glue on the tip of the tweezers, and ran glue along the length of the frame of both the back of the screen and the frame. I then used a flat book to apply pressure to the screen to make the best seal possible. Unfortunately, a glass screen protection won't make a tight seal over the screen now. Everything is working mechanically though with the screen.
Hopefully, it'll hold. Has anyone else had the same issue with the screen separating on the Le Max 2?
Yes. But I doubt your solution to be helpful in the longtherm.
In my case it was the battery pressing the screen out of the frame, because of the cells inside inflating.
Maybe you should be thinking about changing the battery or starting with a battery health check.

Small White Dot on Display Only Visible on White Bright Screen.

My Poco fell out of my hand and luckily I had high quality tempered glass. Display was alright but tempered glass shattered So I removed it after examining the screen I noticed this single White Dot.
It's nothing, barely visible, but every time I see it I feel terrible. Is the screen broken or is it something else? Has anyone faced this problem? Please help.
That's a pressure point or dirt spot. I have a feeling something got displaced when you dropped it and is now adding pressure to the screen from behind. LCDs are very sensitive. Can also happen due to long term bending while in pant pockets.
Same can be seen on laptop screens as well. For example check the image attached of my laptop. Has been there due to pressure from bezel after a hinge break.
You can just go ahead and ignore it, imo.

Thank you for helping me out; I really appreciate your support. I was about to open this device to fix this but I guess I'll just have to ignore it.
