Google Nexus One Touch Screen Problem
This video shows the touch screen problem with Google Nexus One. You can see its multi-touch capability is not reliable, it looks like there are something interfering with the touch input, no matter software or hardware or the combination. Single touch is stable in this video. Is it the reason (or part of the reason) that Google disabled the multi-touch function on Nexus One? Update: Google is releasing a patch this week to enable the multi-touch support in some Google applications, including the browser and Google Maps. But I don’t think this can “fix” the problem shown in this video.

Guyz plz plz help me…. i forgot my nexus one password and it is locked ! what should i do ? how i can unlock it ?
That app is 2 stars, thats prob why
yes, I do, and I believe that’s the reason (an important part of it if not all) why the iPhone got better and better
Error videos are not 100% a bad thing from a QA perspective. The engineers appreciate the error videos, not get sick of them.
@cocreateguid yeah but remember when the iphone came out? people kept uploading error videos of it?
I do have multi touch problems in daily use… like in the browser and Google Maps, especially the latter.
I understand. However I have the right to show what is wrong. That’s the only way to get things right. If you buy a new TV with some glitches now and then, will you keep silent and don’t tell your friends who want to buy the same model?
Yes.
Try Multitouch Visualizer, from the Market. It will show better result.
Anyway, eventhough the Pointer Allocation shows a bit poor multitouch result, but, in day to day operation, I don’t have any problem at all.
Same problem after Googles uppdate?
hey its a new phone. it might have a couple of errors. don’t act like the iphone was perfect when it first came out.
The Dev Tools set that I used is from Google. If Google is called “third party”, who should I get a test kit from?
It has always been there with Android 2.1 and Nexus One hardware. It was not “supported” by some applications.
Before android had multi-touch, like in 1.5, if you pressed two buttons at once it would think you just had a huge finger and click somewhere in the middle. Post 2.0 you don’t have this problem
@cocreateguid wow, spare parts is tool designed by a third party. that said, you cannot make your claim of the hardware being defective over a test of some “third party” software that. A hardware test should have been in order. sorry.
as of today multi touch is now integrated and works fine on the N1
Also Nexus One IS having this problem. Yes, there is an update, but I can tell you this update does NOT address the problem my videos are showing.
Think about it before you write “you are a moron”. Can you answer me a question? Is the consumer responsible for figuring out “this is a touch screen defect” or “this is a problem with the spare parts software” when there is a problem? At the end of the day it is a defective phone, no matter exactly which part is wrong. Don’t think you are smarter than others.
you are a moron, its a problem with that software from spare parts. google also released a multitouch update today, sooo, someone needs to get their facts straight. dont hate when you dont understand the facts
whats happening??? is your device faulty or all the nexus have this problem???
well, watch my video #2. It shows sometimes they are even not the mirror. Pointers are completely off and go everywhere.
It looks like most times it catch the right positions, anyway what I’ve seen requested as #1 multi-touch killer feature is what iphone users call pinch-to-zoom (or so), and for that propose it doesn’t mater if it catches the right position or the mirror position, as long as it can get the right distance between the tow fingers…
It is the development tools from Andriod SDK. And no, if it goes wrong, when you move your fingers it can’t catch up the right positions, everything keeps being off.
@bluebaze013 No you are wrong, Google just did not enable MT in their app. The MT function itself is there and you can write app to use it right away, no rooting required. Dolphin Browser is an example.
That’s because you need to root it in order for multi touch to work right. I know it’s stupid but I guess Apple has patent for multitouch or something.
What app are you using?
When it misses both fingers, if you move the fingers, does it cath up the right fingers positions?
