Help takes multiple taps on the screen to select something

[msierra519]

I just got my Photon yesterday and i love it! just one problem. sometimes i find myself having to tap the screen to select something a few times before it actually clicks..is anyone else having this issue?

**side note..i did all the updates and my phone is up to date.

There are usually two reasons a properly working screen does not respond. The first is it's busy doing something else. If you have a lot of widgets and apps sync'ing all the time, there can be periods of sluggishness.

The other would be dry fingers. In order for a touch screen to register a touch it must be able to measure the capacitance between the glass and your finger. I know that when the weather turns cold and my hands dry out, sometimes touches will not register.

Even after stopping some services, it can happen depending on what's still running. Some weather apps/widgets are downright Satanic when it comes to resource drain. I've had the "dead screen tap" happen many times after updating and spending time looking at the live map in Weather Bug Elite.

Try this. Whenever you have a weird issue like no text appearing, dead screen taps, apps not launching.... etc.....

Go into Task Killer and kill the market. Then go and try again.

I've got a few annoying behaviors that this seems to fix.

I've installed CACHE CLEANER+ (by ISNOW)to alleviate overall sluggishness & FAST RE-BOOT PRO(by GREAT BYTES)to eliminate the occasional unresponsiveness.
