A guy at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40445 figured how to downgrade the touch firmware to a previous version, which had better sensitivity. But it won't stick after a reboot, so I compiled a custom kernel with the downgraded touch firmware.

Here's how to make it stick after a reboot. This requires a my custom kernel/boot.img and also to manually downgrade the touch driver once using terminal or adb.

This will downgrade your touch firmware from E027 to E015.

First, download the e015-boot.img http://goo.gl/p6FfH and flash it through fastboot by booting into the bootloader and typing "fastboot flash boot e015-boot.img.

This boot.img is totally stock with the only changes being the downgraded touch firmware, insecure boot image, and disables stock recovery from restoring at boot.

Or flash this in CWR e015-AnyRom*http://goo.gl/BgiZz.

Second, after flashing the boot.img and rebooting, download this file SynaImage.E015.bin*http://goo.gl/4vzd4 and place on the root of the sdcard.

Then open terminal or adb and request root permission.

Then type the following command "echo 1 /sdcard/SynaImage.E015.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware"

The screen will not be responsive to touch for a few seconds as the firmware is downgraded.

Your done! Now you have a nice sensitive touchscreen.

Credit goes to the person who figured out how to downgrade the touch firmware here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40445.

This is totally reversible, just flash any kernel or boot.img, even the one I provided, and the original firmware will update automatically.

This will disable touch in CWR until reversed.

God most of you must be using feathers... I have an O2x which has a PRS of 1.0 cant get lower but never and I mean never experienced unrecognised touchs etc and I never thought I touched the screen heavily I generally tap it.

So that means when I finally get the Nexus 4 I will see atleast double the responsiveness in a field I never noticed was flawed, excellent. Hopefully you get a fix for this high number soon :).
[Nexus 4 General] mrjeffery:
Fantastic. How are you finding the screen sensitivity with the downgraded firmware?
[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
No, this is exactly why I've been telling people to ignore PRS values. Comparing values of different devices is a totally useless exercise as they all have different touch controllers/ drivers and therefore different ways of reporting.

My S3 has a constant PRS of 1.0 and yet is much much much more sensitive to very light touches than my Nexus 4. It doesn't bother me in the slightest, but the difference is there, despite the PRS values saying it can't be true.
[Nexus 4 General] reddv1:
It's feels much better, close to my galaxy nexus sensitivity. PRS is in the low 30s now.
[Nexus 4 General] dwang:
Just did this. Was able to get .31 PRS with the downgraded touchscreen firmware.

By the way, I used terminal to downgrade the firmware instead of adb. Works just as well without the need or being near a computer.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
Low .30s right? :p
[Nexus 4 General] reddv1:
Yeah, I don't care about PRS values much. I just like my screen light to the touch, and I can measure that by touching it..
[Nexus 4 General] Pluto:
I just tested on my One X and the lowest I got to is 0.17. Just dropping this for comparison's sake.

And AMOLED screens seem to have lower PRS value than LCDs.

[Nexus 4 General] pagy:
ranges from .41 to .61 when tapping

during use, i dont notice any issue with the screen sensitivity; not yet at least since Friday when it arrived.
[Nexus 4 General] Cheesethief:
You can't compare different phones. They have different settings, so the PRS numbers are only relevant for comparison between the same exact phone. It's for troubleshooting if your phone is defective/broken/etc. compared to the next guy with the same phone as you.
[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
I've been saying this for days now. No one ever seems to read my posts.
[Nexus 4 General] raptir:
I was getting around .4 on my Gnex, and now .5 on my N4. I had issues with touch sensitivity on my Gnex and do not have any issues on my N4. So I agree with everyone else saying that there seems to be a difference from device model to device model.

Oh, sorry, my bad I didn't read the entire thread.

[Nexus 4 General] osi13:
Thanks for this post. The downgrade does seem to help. The screen is more responsive while using pinch zoom. It is good to know that this defect can be fixed, or at least improved upon.
[Nexus 4 General] TheSimpleSimon:
Success!!!!! It works!!!!! :good: Thanks for that. It feels normal now. I can even type with the tip of my finger now! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Banished Angel:
The lowest touch I could get was .48. Here's to hoping Google patches this soon!
[Nexus 4 General] pagy:
personally, I'm only having issues in chrome when it comes to "missing touches"... sometimes theres no response at all.

i tried dolphin and had no issues at all.
[Nexus 4 General] phillevy:
I seem to be getting intermittent situations where swiping becomes noticeably less responsive - sometimes a reboot fixes this, but yesterday following a few reboots, it was only when I restarted the launcher that it was fixed.
[Nexus 4 General] troffers:
I'm getting about 0.48 - 0.56 every time but I'm having zero problems with the touch sensitivity.

Maybe the PRS reading is higher because the touch points are so much closer to the screen due to the in-cell tech on this panel?

I can't replicate any problems that I've seen - all my touches register :confused:

Running 4.2.1 BTW
[Nexus 4 General] drewfrank:
Most of my taps are in the .48-.60 range. Responsiveness actually feels fine to me, but this is my first smartphone so I don't have experience with anything else.

Earlier, though, it was nearly unusable when I had it charging over USB (connected to my laptop). Touches were being missed, and swipes only registered if I used more pressure than usual and moved very slowly. I have a lock screen PIN, and it felt like there was a lag as I pressed the keys (and I had to press fairly hard for it to register at all). In fact, everything about the phone felt a little bit slower/laggier. As soon as I unplugged the USB cable, it was back to the usual snappy feeling. A few people in this thread have mentioned similar behavior over USB, but I haven't been able to find an in-depth discussion of it anywhere. Anyone know what's going on with that?

FWIW: running stock 4.2.1, rooted. USB debugging is disabled (not sure if that's relevant to the weird USB behavior).
[Nexus 4 General] zanakorus33:
Well this is strange problem cuz my lowest press walue is 0.1 so ther is no touch problems witch mine phone standard value is beetween 0.14-0.18

Maybe if you used a Nexus 4, you wouldn't be reporting such spurious readings relative to what literally everyone else is reporting..
[Nexus 4 General] m3teor:
My touchscreen was working perfectly fine until last night where I applied a screen protector on my Nexus 4. ( Lumii Ark Screen Protector Shield Anti-Glare ) Since then I have noticed that I realized that the bottom right corner of my phone is not responding to my touch, would this be due to the screen protector or should I return it back to Google?

So when the JB update first came out, I tried to Use the manual updater (Settings->about Phone-> System updates) but when it asks me to create a Motorola account, it just searches for the server. I've let this run for an hour straight, with no success. First I was running stock 4.0.4, now it's rooted.

Philip or kamal,

would you mind posting test scores for Ocean Browser and Firefox? I'm waiting on my N10 to arrive and I'd read both of those ran well and support flash on the 10
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalrelic:
I've tested both Firefox and Ocean in Sun spider.

Ocean got 780ms and Firefox got just over 1000ms.

Ocean also is as smooth as the iPad in scrolling/zooming, while Firefox was a bit more studdery in my experience.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaolinRaiden:
Thanks Relic!

I thought it would be quick. That's faster than I expected it to be compared to the others. Even if it is just fractions of a second.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WackyClash:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaolinRaiden:
I believe you. :)

Can't wait to get my N10 and try it out with my own eyes. Friday or Monday. The anticipation is murder.

Someone in another thread posted a video of Boat running on their N10. Youtube is blocked by the firewall here so I'll be viewing that when I get home.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcb4:
Boat browser, stock.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalrelic:
I used Boat quite a bit, and while it impresses in Sunspider I honestly don't think it can compare to Ocean (or even Dolphin + Jetpack) as far as smoothness of scrolling/zooming goes.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaolinRaiden:
Well, I've tried them both out, and actually I've gone with the recent update to Dolphin Beta 1.2 for JB. It runs -Very- smoothly and much better than Chrome(which is pretty easy right now). It doesn't load pages quite as fast, but it's close.

I've never been a huge fan of Boat (I dislike the bottom navigation bar that you can't remove).

Ocean is very quick on not so media heavy sites, but I hate how much screen you lose to the address bar and tabs.

I also had a lot of screen tearing and rendering issues with Boat and Ocean.

I frequent Roosterteeth.com and both ocean and Boat would just bog down, give up and render nothing but a tiny sort of grid like static.

So for me my daily driver is going to be Dolphin Beta for now. If I need Flash, Firefox is my pick for that. It's a clunky interface and a little buggy but handles Flash nicely when it has the system resources the Nexus 10 can provide. I also didn't experience any of the rendering issues Boat and Ocean had while using Firefox.

So I've got to trade some performance for compatibility. That's my take anyway.

Also, the Nexus 10 is Awesome.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgreen66:
So, is jet-pack a plug in or stand alone browser? I've downloaded Dolphin, Dolphin beta, and Jet pack. They all show up separately in my apps.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fromako:
If you enable the quick controls the interface disappears. It's very similar to the AOSP browser except a different layout on the controls.

Jetpack is a custom back-end renderer for Dolphin as opposed to just being a shell interface for the stock renderer. You can think of it like a plug-in but it's more than that.

I'm having problems moving an ICS ROM to the phone to flash it. Whenever I connect the phone to my notebook, the MTP USB device driver is unable to install. because of that Windows could not recognize the phone. I also tried to mount the sdcard in CWM. It is giving me a 'unable to open ums lunfile..." error message.

Is there any other way to flash the phone? I tried "fastboot flash zip rom.zip". It showed OKAY for the copy, however, a second line remark "writing 'zip' ... FAILED (remote not allowed)" appeared. The process then was aborted.

I also tried formatting the sdcard and then tried to mount the sdcard. Same 'unable to open ums lunfile...' error constantly appears. Just afraid that my phone is now a brick. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Following some advice to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip", not the phone is unable to even get into recovery mode. when I select recovery, it just comes back to the bootloader screen. I tried to flash CWM again and the message I got was "error: cannot load cwd....img"

Funny thing though, when i select HBOOT, some messages appears and disappears saying "Failed to open sdcard, dalvik, cache, etc. etc." I believe that is why windows is unable to recognize the USB drive and is unable to install the drivers.

Have I hard brick my phone?
[HTC One X] tomascus:
No, everything is recoverable, if your phone won't turn on at all, then you're bricked for real.

Just flash the one from here:

http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img

then put in the same folder as fastboot and use command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img

Thanks everyone for the advice. Really appreciate it. I finally managed to use TeamWin Projects and it allowed me to mount the USB. Managed to then transfer an ICS ROM for flashing.
