Touch Screen Issues

AqilSidek — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:04:20 GMT

I can't seem to use any pen/pencil with my Z Ultra. Everything else works perfectly, touch screen-wise. Just for some reason it doesn't read input from a pen or pencil.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Have you apply an extra film protector?

actually i too got this problem since the owning z ultra, tried many bold tip ballpoints even pencils wider then 0.5, recognition a bit weak... no film protector applied... just worried it will spoil the screen when push to hard.

oh, and i also tried samsung note 2 stylus.. no can do too

I only have one layer on it.

Today as I was messing around, I could use regular wooden pencils with it. But I can't use mechanical pencils, pens.

Unfortunately if the tip too narrow (<1mm) you will have issues getting ti to work, though I wouldn’t want to use anything with that fine an edge anyway as it would be quite sharp.

What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

My Wacom stylus doesn't register at all and so far it's 50/50 when I use a pen or pencil. Some times it will work, sometimes not.

I have the Z ultra for more than a month now. I only tried to use this feature today and it does now work. I've tried using a pen, a pencil, a coin, and other similar objects. The screen is not responding to them.

In case it matters forgot to mention that it's a 6833 with android 4.2.2.

Mine works with metal pens. I put on a tempered glass protector. In the sketch app, using pens isn't perfectly responsive though.
