When I go into the my apps section of the Amazon App store, initially, it functions just fine, but after queuing up a lot of installs and while multiple downloads are still in progress, it begins to mis-register touches on the install buttons on the right, partially seeing them a couple inches above my finger if I'm touching low, or below if I'm touching high, in portrait. Mostly the wrong buttons animate a touch a little, without queuing, but a few times, the wrong program was queued for install. It seemed easier to touch the program itself, and install from that program's page. Once the installs are done, it seems to go back to registering touches properly. I was able to replicate the behavior.
I've only seen this behavior in one other place: Tower Raiders Gold. There, in landscape, the miscue is a couple inches side-to-side while in a level, though touches in the menus seem fine.
It doesn't really seem to be a hardware issue because in all other locations, touch registers perfectly, including a sketchpad where I draw all over the screen. Has anyone else witnessed this behavior anywhere?
This happens to me sometimes in the stock browser when many things are going on. Maybe it's just getting over worked? Did you try uninstalling & reinstalling the app store?
Haven't tried that but I did get Tower Raiders working. Zooming out got rid of the issue in the first level and it hasn't cropped up since. The amazon store issue doesn't come up often, I was mostly concerned I might have been wrong and my tab was defective. Your experience seems to confirm it is a bug.

Ok, so I've have my photon for a few months now, and it seems like the touch screen acts up? I will touch one area, and it seems to activate a different area. Is this a normal thing, or is there something going on? Typing gets interesting, as you can likely imagine, due to wrong keys getting hit. Could it just be a sensitivity issue, if so, how can I correct it? Is there a way to calibrate the screen?

Mine acts a little funny sometimes too - almost every time I am typing I either close the keyboard or exit an app entirely - my best guess is that it thinks I am either hitting the home button, or back. Drives me insane. Only thing I don't like about the phone.
I have looked at all the menus and cannot find a way to calibrate the screen. I've looked in the Market, cannot find an app that works on the Photon to do so either. I think mine can also use re-calibration.
Otherwise this phone rocks!
Is it just when you are typing or is it a general problem like if you try to select a specific app from the app drawer, will you end up selecting the wrong app? My Photon had this issue (just the problem with typing on the keyboard accurately, and this is not my first touchscreen only or android phone, so it's not my typing skills) when I first got it, but the problem went away after I installed Go Launcher and the Go keyboard. I haven't tried any alternate keyboards and I haven't tested the phone if I remove GO Launcher and the Go Keyboard. Everything else seems to be working and I love this phone!

Its random, typing, apps, doesn't matter.

I have searches and searched, but t appears there is bilt way to calibrate this screen. I don't know if the issue is hardware related, or just app related. The more I use it, the more I think hardware, because I wont even touch the screen and I end up at the home screen. There is no pattern, or anything, it just randomly messes up it seems

So I suppose no one has found a calibration tool for the Photon? I've seached everywhere I can think of and still no luck. I notice the problem also when playing games, especially Draw Something and Temple Run. Love my MoPho but this drives me nuts...
I face a problem which is about the graphical rendering.
Some apps some button will appear as broken which makes me confuse.
And also when I using the browser to surf on some flash video website, it appear to have some broken rendering problem.
Just like the one you may got on computer 3D rendering.
I know the above are hard to understand, but I really don't know how to present those idea.
Sorry for that and also my bad English.
Thanks everyone who came in this post.
This shows the problem when using friendcaster.
Huh, sorry you are having issues. I have yet to see anything like this on mine.
Hope someone has an answer for you.
I'm not sure entirely what you are asking here... so I'll just ask you, what's wrong in the picture?
However, sometimes while web-browsing, certain pages won't show properly (things missing, or off page and you can't scroll to them). Often this can be fixed by changing the setting of the browser to load pages in PC format, (or tablet/phone/ipad). Sometimes just getting a different internet browser can help too.
As for apps having missing buttons - this could possibly be fixed by going into setting>manage applications>(whatever app it is)
-clear cache
-clear data
Then try opening it again. If it still doesn't work properly, uninstalling it and re-installing it might help (this worked for a friend with his phone just last night).
If you are really desperate to try everything, factory resetting your tablet might help - though you will loose all your data and it isn't garaunteed to help .
Other than that, you have to keep in mind that developers don't exactly have every device made available for them to test their apps on, and this being a honeycomb device, it already has lots of compatibility issues they have to tackle - perhaps a polite email to the developer of the app explaining your problem would result in them eventually making a fix for it. Be sure to include your version of Android (in full) and device name to help him narrow it down.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting - I sent Gameloft a very polite email over a month ago requesting their support for sony tablet s, and so far, no change (half their games are still not compatibile).
sometimes on apps that aren't 100% compatable with the screen ratio or resolution, i have to press the little square with the arrows pointed outward near the clock and press either "stretch to fill screen" or "zoom to fit screen"
i had the same button issues with speedtest.net app
Thanks everyone who reply on this issue.
Actually what I am facing is about the "triangle" broken mark appear in the picture which show up in the app "Friendcaster".
I think the app should be a pad version as there were no arrow icon.
I am wondering is this a common issue, as I found out the issue of video site is a common one as I have a try out with some display tablet in the retailer.
I have a stock, unrooted Prime, on the current firmware (.21). Occasionally it will display this peculiar screen glitch - it reminds me of video card overheating symptoms I've seen on a few laptop monitors. The main artifacts show on the left hand side of the screen, as well as home screen icons and home bar jumping up and down a few pixels. It shows up in both applications and on the home screen. The issue is not dependent on the dock being connected - I tested with and without it. I have searched this forum as well as other sites, and have not seen anything similar.
Today I managed to take a few videos and have posted one on youtube. The link is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD6CbK6KL4Q
Has anybody encountered this problem before? Or have any suggestions?
Thanks
I've had that happen before on one of my primes, it was fixed by a quick reboot. For me it happened in the youtube app, so I also cleared the app's cache just to be sure, hasn't happened since.
I really don't mean to be a whinny *****.... but dude, there are enough threads about this exact same problem in the forums already. You really should have searched before creating another one.

Like I said in the OP, I did search on this forum as well as others, and have not seen anything similar. There are many reports of a tearing while opening/closing apps from the previously opened list, as well as horizontal banding across the whole screen. Also, the posts I could find were from people on previous firmware versions, who reported their issues disappearing after updating to the latest (.21).
For those two reasons (unique symptoms, and firmware), I considered this a potentially new problem, and created this question thread.
Feel free to link to similar threads you have found though. It could help me and others.

Interesting. (You have multiple primes?)
The first time this happened to mine, I had not used youtube at all. But since then, watching youtube videos has been the most consistent trigger to get the problem to occur.
The most recent time it happened, I noticed that the flickering stopped while I had my finger on the screen. (Conductive problem with video chip??)
I had this happen to me also with the camera application. I powered it off and back on again and it cleared it.
I have had this happen before. Mine looks worst though and the whole screen actually changes color, sometimes inverted color. Luckily it only happens when I connect to my HDtv through HDMI and doesnt appear like that on my TV. Usually clears itself without a reboot when I touch the screen or disconnect the Prime from the TV.

This is the issue I have when the screen is allowed to fall asleep while watching video (YouTube included). Open a YouTube video full screen, pause it, let the screen go black and lock. Now when you turn the screen back on see if the issue happens on the lock screen

As of a few days ago, when I drag and hold, the web page scrolls about three or four times faster than my finger is moving. Every once in a rare while it scrolls correctly, but it almost always goes very fast and very jumpy, not smooth. I'm not talking about when I lift my finger off. This problem happens when my finger stays on the screen. Of course it also gets way too much momentum when I do lift.
In any app scrolling works fine, except when viewing web content in any app, so I assume it is a webview problem. I searched and couldn't find anyone else experiencing this. I downgraded webview which didn't help, then updated it, and it's still the same. Any ideas?

Blisspop 4.0.2
Android 5.1.1
Anyone? Am I really the only person to have ever experienced this?
Hello. Few days ago I've got Huawei M5 10
And I've found strange behavior of the touch screen.
Long story short :
If you slowly move finger in one direction, and then change the direction, touch screen doesnt detect changing of direction and doesn't follow the finger. It waits for 10-15 (or more) pixels and only after that it places touch point into correct position.
I wanted to add video but XDA prohibits me
Its not a problem in regular work, but its annoying in games because you can't take aim in any shooters.
Do you have the same?
I haven't gamed much on my 8.4", but when new I initially experienced some buggy scrolling, possibly similar to what you describe, inside web browsers and what not.
If you are experiencing the same, I recommend:
Upgrading to the latest available OTA. (I actually hate upgrading software, but this was forced o me after a boot loop)
Disable/Delete Chrome (so it doesn't take over for Android System Webview)
Uninstall any updates to Android System Webview (after a reset, some buggy behavior returned for me immediately after updating Webview)
There are other things you can do if rooted. But those were the big things that seemed to fix touchscreen behavior for me. fwiw I can't discount that my upgrade to B153 may have helped, but I suspect that Chrome/Webview was the issue all along.
Thanks for answering
I've already updated Android and even tried to play with screen resolution (thought that because of huge resolutions touchscreens have this problem)
I can't paste link to YouTube but you can find the video named 'huawei medipad m5 10 screen lagging?'
I show there a bug.
Notice that in the name of video Mediapad replaced with Medipad. It's okay.
I'm having the same problem as you but i am pretty sure this is a software issue... But it doesn't bother me much as I use my tablet more for work than games
Hi, did anyone find a fix for this problem?
I don't have this problem on my 8.4. I play alot of first person shooters.
