[XPERIA X10 General] a1exander:
Hi!

Is it just me or is it freaking IMPOSSIBLE to use the touch on the Xperia X10 when you have just slightly like swetty fingers? If theres just a little water on the screen the touch goes banana crazy and it takes a while for you to even unlock the lockscreen. Is that just my phone or is it like that for everyone?
[XPERIA X10 General] hugorunes:
I've also had this problem i come back from football with sweaty fingers and its near impossible i wouldn't even try to text someone
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
That's a problem for EVERY capacitive touchscreen, not only for the x10. Water makes it impossible for the screen to recognize touches correctly because every drop is recognized as a touch. Just google capacitive touch screen to learn more about how this technology works.

Sent from my rooted X10i using awesome custom roms
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
It sucks if you have sweaty palm syndrome, which I have :(. Even the smallest of stimulation of fingers and my whole hand starts sweating, meaning every time I use the X10 my hand sweats and the screen spazzes :(
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
The new Xperia Active is said to use a Wet Finger Tracking technology that allows you to use the screen with wet hands! See more here. ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
Please buy Xperia Active or if you want a cheaper option..carry a couple of tissues with you!!
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
Sorry to interrupt from a P500 user, but i can use my device when my finger is wet.

I used to check for messages and news after taking a bath, so my finger is quite wet. But i have totally no question with my screen with those wet fingers, but it is on my P500 though. =)
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Resistive screens worked with pressure, so it's only normal that water and moist didn't make a difference.
[XPERIA X10 General] clixt:
Agreed and it is water resistant:

[XPERIA X10 General] icbless:
Hmm. here is my story. (its ur choice to believe or nt)

i was using StealthGuards last time. and it work out fine. FYI: i have sweaty fingers at times.

but after i remove it (cuz of my caseing)..i been having this problem too.

the "installation" for this screen protector is to use water and then let it dry about a day. i think thats the reason that my sweaty plams work.
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
I live in Scotland.

Where it rains.

alot.

New fangled phones can only be used indoors.

Or in a hoodie.
[XPERIA X10 General] paolo599:
Iphones and ipod touches work fine with water on the screen
[XPERIA X10 General] gregeberts:
So what. Iproducts are not worth buying just to be able to use when your hands are wet. Just dry off your hands before you use your phone. You shouldn't be getting it wet anyway.
[XPERIA X10 General] Eugene1991:
I have sweaty fingers and palms too at certain times, and yes you can't really type/touch the screen..... It's an 'issue' with capacitive screen.. resistive wouldn't be a problem(but it sucks)..
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Lol you can hardly use the phone when your hands are dry.. what do you think will happen when they are wet?
[XPERIA X10 General] gregbradley:
I am in the bath now as I write this I don't have any issues.

I have taken the second screen protector of though, maybe that helps.
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
...you take your phone with you...when you have a bath?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
I removed the stock screen protector it became sensitive to moisture.

I replaced it with a new screen protector.

Problem solved. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] paolo599:
you dont understand. i wasent saying that everyone should now buy idevices, i was just stating that they are capacitive and the water on the screen doesnt interfere with the touch. by the way i always get water on the screen like when its sprinkling and a few drops get on it and when your fingers get a bit sweaty like in a room or car with a heater.
[XPERIA X10 General] solid0snake:
What type did you use?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
I don't know it was quite a while back.

All i know is that it's thinner than the stock protector.

It wasn't special or anything.

It's just a fact that if you remove the stock protector it gets moisture sensitive.
[XPERIA X10 General] solid0snake:
Damn, i removed the stock protector cuz i thought it was the reason the screen responded so badly when typing with wet fingers.

Is there a possibilty to fix it, otherwise i will just end it with the X10 cuz the screen is by far the most annoing thing on it.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Just try a new protector.

The one i bought was a bit large so i trimmed it a bit.
[XPERIA X10 General] solid0snake:
Thx i will try a new one.

Just tested with plastic wrap and it didn't help at all, hopefully just because its too thin.

My iPod Touch works flawlessly even with a few water drops on it.
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Putting a screen protector on your device won't solve this problem! With a screenprotector your phone only gets a little bit less sensitive, but when it recognizes the water on the screenprotector you'll still have the problem. You will only need enough water to get the effect. And, remember guys it's not good for your phone to much water, in a long time you will see the effects of it coming up! So dry your hands before using your phone!!

Multi-touch or hardware made for this, could solve it. The multi-touch could solve it partially, and thats why it's no problem on a iPhone/iPod Touch.
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
I think we need to see WHY XPERIA ACTIVE works with wet fingers!!

does it has some layer of protective cover which enables to use screen with wet fingers?

becuase even Active has a capacitive screen..

may be we can buy that layer and put on our phone....problem solved
[XPERIA X10 General] Eugene1991:
So sad for people with hyperhidrosis like me :(
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
me too :(. Palmar hypohydrosis. I'm probably going to take surgery to get rid of it, but I sometimes hate using the X10 because of my hands.
[XPERIA X10 General] SkyStars:
Yeah, I wish I never removed the stock protector. After removing it, using the phone has become annoying. Out to get a new screen protector later.
[XPERIA X10 General] solid0snake:
I've bought a special antireflex screen protector. I hope this should minimize the swetty finger problem which is super annoing when trying to answer calls.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Weird.. i only had this issue when i had my screen protector removed.
[XPERIA X10 General] egyptshun:
I just dont understand why he had to put water in quotes :S
[XPERIA X10 General] SkyStars:
+1 Me too, the issue only appears after removing the protector
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Ok i checked.. it's still a bit sensitive.

But not as bad as when the screen protector is removed.
[XPERIA X10 General] a1exander:
I meant sp*rm!

Hah no I meant like if you have swetty fingers or something, which is basicly water.. but still! :p
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Ewwwwww. you sic man :p
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I bet it will be even more difficult to use the screen then.

Anyone cares to share their experience?

In this thread we've read excruciating details about X10s being used

in the bathroom, in the shower, feel free to disgust us even more!!! :p :D :D :D

#kidding
[XPERIA X10 General] loggy:
I sometimes wonder what would happen if I were stuck somewhere or had an accident and the only way to get help is with my x10- and its raining so i cant use it !. ..

All touch screens should be useable in the wet for safety reasons. I see myself getting an active........
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
No phone is waterproof, unless they are made water proof. A non-touchscreen phone will be dead in no-time with much water/sweat.
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
in case you are stuck in rain and you have nothing to save you from water...quickly take out the condom from your wallet and put your phone inside it...!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] watever:
my xperia play works fine with wet fingers. my x10 was terrible at it though
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
Show off.

SE X10i 2.3.3 CM7.0.3
[XPERIA X10 General] rachovich:
well, I think it is possible that SE or some developers here tweak the touch-recognition formula to solve this 'wet fingers' issues...

just hope...
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Not really.. maybe if SE updates the MT drivers.
[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
Yeah, and when i wake up in the morning my screen is grease or something and i can hardly do anything and it doesn't wipe off... only after some time it disappears ...
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
I'm surprised with the amount of hate the X10's screen is getting.

I find it great, at least when dry. Sure, it's not amazing, but it does the job and even responds well in most games (aside from the dualtouch issues).

Check out most WP7 phone touch responsiveness, terrible. My uncle works for microsoft and he has an assortment of WP7 phones. Aside from the HD2 and HD7, most of the rest's screens were really bad :(.
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
P500 using a capacitive screen.:D
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Ah, then, my apologies.

I thought it being an older phone would use resistive!
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
even i thought as you were that he is talking of the P series SE had couple of years ago...he is talking about LG P500 with Android 2.2 :D
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
wait, no, that won't fix anything I think.

Capacitive touchscreens work on heat, not on touch, which is why you can't operate the X10 with a stylus. So even if the X10 had 10 million touch input, it wouldn't change a thing. The touchscreen heat sensor is just not that good.
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
Yeah,the reason that i keep visiting this x10 forum is i'm gonna get myself x10 soon =)
[XPERIA X10 General] shoby:
A few drops of rain on my x10 and itbecomes very hard to use screen
[XPERIA X10 General] Eugene1991:
I wonder if Matte protector makes a difference? lol
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
It will make diffrence in everything, like your fingers won't be recognized almost...:p
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Actually.. i have one.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bruce Lee:
My stock screen protector is fine until water is on my fingers.

Do any of you recommend taking off the stock screen protector?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Don't. That will just make it worse.
[XPERIA X10 General] Eugene1991:
Interesting to see quite a number with sweaty fingers and palms.. but it's really a sad thing :(
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
How could you not sweat if the device transforms into a microwave oven in low signal conditions.

Every summer i put my x10 away till winter arrives, so i can actually use it then.
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Good quality one I hope :)
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
You know me.. or at least i hope you do. :)

If it sux.. i am going to rage about it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bruce Lee:
Thanks for the heads up
[XPERIA X10 General] SinHarvest:
What? Capacitive touch screens has almost nothing to do with with heat, it has to do with capacitance/conductivity which is an electrical property not heat. I say almost nothing because heat does technically effect electrical properties but for touch screens it isn't really going to make a difference.

Basically anything that will act as an electrical conductor could effect your screen for example water, oil, metal objects, etc. You can even get stylus for your screen if you really want it.
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Capacitive touchscreens don't work on heat, and if it had a heat sensitive screen nails wouldn't work and/or a stylus we don't need... Just to let you know ;) Also x10 does not have a heat sensitive touchscreen...
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
aiyo, stupid me, i got it confused with something else. Sorry.
[XPERIA X10 General] breakneck001:
I've noticed this too. If there is even a slight water drop it takes it as a printer press :(
[XPERIA X10 General] Chris95X8:
Guys, I just tested this on my X8 which has also a capacitive screen. I literally wet my finders with water and I was able to control my phone just fine :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Grospolina:
If you have sweaty hands and often have problems using a capacitive touchscreen, then I suggest using either a capacitive stylus or capacitive touchscreen gloves.

A regular stylus won't work, but you can buy a special capacitive stylus that will work. If you're really cheap, then apparently you can make your own by rolling up an anti-static bag (like what hard drives come in):

http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/how-to-make-a-free-capacitive-stylus

You can also buy special gloves that work with capacitive touchscreens, or you can make your own by threading a regular pair of gloves with conductive thread:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-A-Glove-Work-With-A-Touch-Screen/
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Thanx dude.. what do you know.

I have a lot of anti static bags lying around. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] thunderpossuem:
This is a big issue for me. In the mornings or on particularly cool days, my phone get icey cold and the screen becomes moist to touch, like all condensation-y. Makes my phone unusable for a time.
[XPERIA X10 General] harlz:
This has been pissing me off since I got the phone a year ago. Easy fix is a screen protector. Can't be soaked but if sweaty fingers it has no problem. No guard equals phone thrown across the room in rage :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] omell:
I had this problem when 2 screen protectors where on my screen.

Now I only have the protector with which the phone was shipped and all is working well.
[XPERIA X10 General] theFusion:
This problem pisses me off too.. But hell, there is no other way than wearing tissues with me when I play sport or get wet somehow,,
[XPERIA X10 General] Eugene1991:
Ah OK! I peeled the screen protector installed by the shop(since it was already peeled a little and dust got into it by my capdase jacket) and found out that there is a screen protector already!

I believe it's the stock one mentioned by some here, should I remove it before applying a new protector? or use it as it is(Since it looks new and replace it when it wears out)?
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
its scratch less and is enforced on your screen and this saves your screen from cracking ,SE do this for almost all the phones (remember anti scratch anti crack screen in advertisement,this is it)

once you remove it there is no going back..just go with it for some time if you are not satisfied you can remove and put another one
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
Just a quick question, does the X10 have a factory screen protector already on it when it was shipped in its casing>?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Yes.. don't remove it.

It has 2 functions.

1. makes the screen less moisture sensitive.

2. protects you in the case that the glass does shatter.

Don't remove it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Eugene1991:
So we should stick another protector on it to protect it?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Who said that?

I removed mine due to some genius thread here and found that it was a bad idea.

So now I'm informing you it's a bad idea.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I disagree...

I'm glad I removed mine :) Looks much better, and is way more sensitive!
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Just wait till you get out of bed on a cold day.

Or the day your hands get very sweaty.

"why cant i unlock my phone for the call... dammit":p
[XPERIA X10 General] diogodji:
Sorry for responding to such an "old" thread, but I do have the same problem with my x10 and it drives me crazy sometimes.

For example, if I'm leaving basketball practice or any sports for that matter, and my hands are slightly moist due to the heat, my x10 simply goes crazy and if I don't literally clean my hands (on a piece of cloth for example), there is no way i can do anything on the phone.

What I wanted to know if there is any kind of screen protector that at least reduces this kind of problem, even if only slightly.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] pilot2k:
now i think that with stock screen protector it was easier to use phone with wet hands!
[XPERIA X10 General] marcelosinhorini:
i cant use it too with wet fingers!
[Venue Pro General] RandomXIII:
My headphone jack stopped working so I need a replacement part. Since I already voided the warranty when upgrading the sd card, it's impossible to send it to warranty now. :(

Does anyone here have any broken DVP for sale ? I don't mind if the screen is broken or any kind of cosmetic conditions, as long as the headphone jack is working, I am fine with it. Please let me know via pm or message if you have one available. Thank you.
[Venue Pro General] ducttape36:
Correct me if I'm wrong (wouldn't be the first time), but I heard that Dell was granting immunity to those who have replaced the SD card. just put the old one back in before you send it off.
[LG Optimus 2x] Richdolman:
Does anyone know how to modify the OS to report that the phones one of the very poor selection the lazy people at skype could be bothered to make it work with?

Or would it require a mod to the app itself (same question who knows how to do this?)

If everyone took that attitude, XDA forums and the like wouldn't exist because we'd all be sat waiting for HTC / LG / Skype etc to update software...

These forums exist because the developer community can usually make things work better than the software vendors or before the software vendors.

[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
OK, I tested this not even a week ago and I consistently got around 1Mbps uploads and a Max of 10Mbps downloads over 4G.

This morning I decided to give it another shot (after tinkering with the WiMAX settings via ##data#) and I noticed that not only where my downloads consistently higher, hovering at an average of 9Mbps, but my uploads finally broke 1Mbps. It was actually over 1.7Mbps after testing 3 different server locations multiple times on Speakeasy.

So, did they decide to raise the cap during the evo3d launch?
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
it was upped to 1.5mb earlier this month. although im still seeing the 1mb cap here in san antonio.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
See, that is what I read too. Which is why I did a bunch of testing earlier in the week. From different locations in my city. Not in a single area would I break 1.05Mbps. I must have tested 30+ times from 10 different locations.

Today, laying in bed. Boom, multiple tests above 1.7 (highest has been 1.82)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobharasimo:
im curious if this would work. can i take the modem 'drive' from a 959 and put it on my 895 and have it work? basically what I'm curious is does the Galaxy Captivate have the hardware capability to receive UMTS and restricted by the modem or is it a physically different hardware and only able to receive GSM/HSDPA?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z28james:
The captivate can use UMTS. The captivate lacks the proper bands to use UMTS on t-mobile. Software will not solve for this as this is due to the hardware wireless radio. The vibrant, however, has the bands needed for 3G on both t-mobile and at&t. You will only get GPRS/EDGE on t-mobile with a captivate. I assume this is what you were trying to solve for?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobharasimo:
I was actually trying to take my Captivate and have it work on Wind Mobile (UMTS canadian provider)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z28james:
Which bands do they use? Is it 1700 and 2100 like t-mobile?

EDIT: yeah, it looks like it.
