SwiftKey legacy tablet and phantom clicks - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hi all. Usually use SwiftKey but when I upgraded to 290 I did a fresh install and decided to try the stock keyboard out for a bit. Didn't have any phantom clicks at all.
After 2 weeks or so, reinstalled SwiftKey legacy and boom, phantom clicks ahoy. Anyone else able to confirm this? If a few of you post the same results I'll link their support to this forum.
Thanks in advance.

I personally have SwiftKey Tablet from the first Nexus 7, used it on a Galaxy S3 and on the Ultra with no problems at all.
I'm using SwiftKey beta at the moment, because of the number row and a few other adjustments that aren't present (yet) on the main app, but I don't see how it could be different...

The slightest bit of dirt or even an excessive smudge can be registered the phone as touches on the screen.

I returned to normal keypad and phantoms clicks were gone instantly.

Furthermore, my screen is almost always covered in fingerprints and/or wet, and I got phantom clicks only under the rain... texting under the rain is a PITA, but then again, it happened just once... It's not an everyday thing that's for sure...

No problems here with Swiftkey (latest Version). Works well. Only if the display is heavily covered with various layers of fingerprints it can cause phantom clicks, but in every app, not only Swiftkey.

Yeah, this was literally as soon as I enabled SwiftKey and then returned to normal once I'd disabled it. Definitely wasn't due to dirt this time.

Touchscreen sensitivity app

I had a galaxy's, and recently I bought a Atrix.
I noticed that Atrix has a touch screen less sensitive than galaxy.
I've downloaded from the market "sgs touchscreen booster", this is an app to manage the touchscreen galaxy.
I tried it on 'Atrix and it works fine for me.
Now I am satisfied with the touchscreen.
If anyone has the same problem, I advise him to try.
Sorry for my bad English
I can not tell if it is even working.
psychological solution
It work very well for me.

I had noticed that coming from Captivate, the touch screen felt... different. Just installed. Hopefully this helps. Thanks!
you are awesome!
I had the touchscreen bug where my screen would go unresponsive, was going to bring it in today (concerned about my device having the france rom on it.) and this app got it working again perfectly!
will be sure to buy you a beer on payday if this holds up.
just installed.. seems to be much more responsive to me.. have it set to "optimized". will try them all out..thx!

Same. I still, along with (I think) everyone, have the issue with multi-touch when you hold fingers down for a certain number of seconds and the screen equalizes it, forcing you to wait a few seconds and try it again. This really annoys me on games like Jet Car Stunts, when, for example, I hold the accelerate button but eventually I have to let go and press it again to keep the car accelerating.
yeah that apparently is a feature and done by design from what I read. the problem i had was worse in the sent that imagine the screen going nuts after 5 seconds of activity.
Is there any way to increase the multitouch number. This app says it can but it doesn't work I know this is for the galaxy but is there any other way?

I was getting so annoyed of this phone because when i tried to typed i couldnt type one work without making a huge mistake because the screen wasnt picking up everything i guess. if i typed hey fast it would just type "hy" or something. but when i did this and put the sensitivity up to 80% and left the rest on default it fixed it. now i can type fast without any mistakes and it seems as it fixed multitouch problems as well! This app is definitely recommended.
I've always thought the Atrix screen could do with a higher sensitivity, after using the iphone. It might be all in the mind, but this app does seem to help. It is particularly noticeable when typing, I no longer have any missed letters where I haven't pressed hard enough.
Thanks for sharing this app

[Mystery SOLVED] Huge multi touch/App shutdown problem !!?

Hey folks, I have serious issues with the multi touch recognition..
What you do:
You tap and hold with one finger, then you tap tap with another finger
What the phone does:
It forgets the first finger you are holding down.
IMHO that should definitely not be the case, especially not in this price range.
(and if you think why the hell does he care and how does one notice?...just play some pinball game and you will See..)
This is international stock ROM. Any suggestions?
Thanks and good night,
Daranus
Edit: even more visible in games like dead trigger. When I am running forward with the left thumb and tap the right thumb for a single shot, I stop running. That does not seem right at all.

Hello
I don't always play games in my phone, but only to testing if there is a problem in multitouch or not, i installed 2 games (pinball deluxe and dead trigger) and didn't notice any anomalies or problems in multi touch points (i can use 2 points touch at same time freely and without any interface between each others),so i think its software bug, so i suggest to do soft reset (or hard reset) and see if the problem persist.
Also you can test your screen touch points with an free app in play store (multi-touch benchmark test) and see the result.
P.S try to disable the 3 fingers htc gestures which found in setting/display & gestures/htc gesture (because with this option enabled you have only 3 points multitouch, but with this option disabled you have 10 points multitouch-yes 10 points-).
Thanks

Don't have that problem on mine.
This happens to me as well. I could not figure out why dead trigger was not working properly, now I realize it's a system wide issue.
I tried disabling HTC gestures and enabling it and I'm still having this problem.

Thanks for your answers,
I already used an application for multi touch testing, same results.
It does not matter if you turn the 3 finger thingy on or off (and we are talking 2 finger only anyway so it should not matter)
And good to know, that an ATT device can have the issues as well...I wonder what it is =/
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Alright...one step further.
Did a hard reset and the issue is gone.
Now I have to track down what actually broke the multi-touch function..will post if I do!
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Got it.
Managed to break it again and discover the reason.
If you choose to have no lockscreen, you break multi touch. That simple.
Try it out folks.

So it breaks it permanently if you ever decide to not have a lockscreen, or just while you don't have one?
Just while you dont have one (so it was only me who lost everything because of that bull**** )
However, I think it's a serious issue which was a pain in the ass to track down because who in hell could think that this is caused by that. Is there some place to tell HTC such stuff?
And if someone with a custom ROM reads this, can he confirm if custom ROMs have the same issue? Tyvm!
Just discovered even more...it even breaks games (!!!) E.g. Maple Story live. Is Unplayable with no lockscreen because it ends itself all the time for no reason without an error...and now...no issues anymore, runs like a charm.

I've been having the same multitouch issue, rendering most games unplayable. Thus far enabling the lockscreen does not solve it.
Edit: after rebooting the problem is gone...strange. I can't wait for CM 10.1 to come out so I can get rid of this ROM
Just installed multi-touch test app, disabled lockscreen and multi-touch works like it should. Recognized 10 fingers (didn't try with foots Latest 1.17 firmware.

Unresponsive capacive keys

Has anyone else been experiencing weak or unresponsive home and back keys. My home key does not always work. Just trying to see if mine is faulty or others experience this issue.

I have the same issue and it has been pissing me off. I have read the OTA has fixed this issue for some. I am still waiting for my OTA to come through.
Screen off/screen on seems to kick it back into gear most of the time for me.
I had the same problem. Unlocked bootloader and put TrickDroid on, and this problem is gone. Not that it should be the solution, but it seems the move to the international update fixed that problem.
I also had the problem on stock AT&T ROM. Flashed ARHD and the problem is gone

Stock ATT rom here and there are times I have to hit the home button a few times. Gonna unlock bootloader tonight and see about installing a rom.
Mine definitely require very accurate taps. I am getting used to it, but I am hoping a software update will improve the responsiveness.

Seems to be the case more with our (ATT) software. Flashing the international or one of the international ROMs seems to make it much more responsive. Hopefully our phones will get the update soon!
I loaded an international Rom and I still occasionally get buttons that don't work and I have to lock and unlock the screen.

Some say it's the screen protectors some say it's not. I did notice before I out one on it wasn't so bad. But once I out it in was constantly smashing the buttons and where the are so flipping close to the screen I would open unwanted apps. Anyway I too a straight edge and an exacto knife and cut the protector off right where the screen ends and the black capacitive area begins. Did it last night and haven't had to press anything more than once. Just a thought from a guy

Compared to my One X, neither of the buttons are precise at all, even without a screen protector on the AT&T Rom.

I agree. A screen protector shouldn't make a difference. Never did with ny One X either.

Even when I didn't have the screen protector installed it was also very finicky. It seems like you have to press down exactly on the buttons for them to register the action. Even then, one of the buttons will sometimes wig out on me while the other one will continue working. It seems like the problem resolves itself within fifteen seconds most of the time, but its annoying nonetheless.
What's funny is that I thought it was a software problem at first, but even after switching over to the newest CM nightlies it still happens every now and then.
Yea but basing that in cm10 is irrelevant
Because so much is patched and ported but agreed this thing sucks sometimes

U Touch Problem (especially while typing)

Hi all! Now I have this problem. I need to hardly press touchscreen in order to type here and anywhere else. I tried many keyboards and it didn't solve. I was using CM9 and after some days, tge problem started. I removed screen guard also but it didn't helped. I flash also GB and ICS firmware but the problem didn't solved. Why? Scrolling through touch was fine but start up pressing was hard to tiuch and that problem really kill me on using keyboard and playing games. Any idea?

It seems that many of us are having this issue. In my case I deducted it's digitizer problem

VIBRATE issue

Hi!
Sometimes vibrate in my Xperia Z2 doesn't work... :crying: What is going on?
Ive have the issue too and it seems to be a hardware issue
The issue persists across firmwares
Im replacing my device in hopes i dont face the same issue, i recomend you do the same if posible

I was having this issue as well but it seems to have stopped randomly after a little. What I did was touch a magnet to the bottom on back and hopefully set it back in place. Hasn't stopped in over 24 hours. Another thing I'd recommend is if you're bootloader unlocked and you're turning you're voltage down to stop cause that could be the cause of it since the motor isn't getting enough voltage
