new annd in need of help

Postby KevCal » January 17th, 2011, 10:52 pm

Hi got new scroll last week from dabs.com. only 150 pounds.
Very impressed so far.
When tapping to zoom do not always get a response. Is this a prop with scroll, Android, broaser or certain web pages?
Zoom is important to me as I am vi. Can anyone advise?

tap harder. its a resistive touch screen not capasitive so you need to tap it a bit harder

Double tap zoom works fine for me.

The screen is not as reactive as top-end tablets or phones, so you may just need to press a bit firmer.

I have found that I am using the scroll better without the stylus these days, than with.

I find using a finger nail more responsive, even for dragging, and I don't have to tap as hard. But I do still have on the original plastic screen cover.

Don't think it is a case of pressure as a gentle tap or light stroke works fine for other functions.
Sometimes screen zooms when not intended but does not respond when required.
No probs typing this on touch screen as zoom is not An optivon in typing mode.
I would try calibrating screen but option has vanished from settings menu. Any thoughts on getting it back? Also could + - magnifier be displayed perminently?

I know where are accessabiblty tools for android I have just never used them :S Might be worth googleing "android screen magnifier" or something along those lines?
