Trackpad barely works with fingers

[nicocolton]

Title explains it all really. My trackpad doesn't work too well when I control it with my fingerpad, works better when I control it with my fingertip, and works perfectly when I put a piece of kleenex between the trackpad and my finger. I noticed this started in December, and am wondering if this has anything to do with the difference in humidity? That is all I can think of, save for trying a different soap (joke). Anybody have any suggestions?

Is the phone new?

Have you tried adjust the sensitivity in Options?

Alright, s I have already stated, as soon as I place something between my fingers and the trackpad (tissue paper) it works magnificently. So it has nothing to do with sensetivity or a bad device.

Anybody got anything?

I have the same problem and it happens with every device I tried. I guess I just have faulty thumbs. I wish there was a Torch with trackball instead of that trackpad.

Had similar problem. Updated by computer to 583 and no more trackpad problems. This upgrade isn't available ota only by computer.

the reason why no one got back to you after a full day was the fact that you cant be rude to people trying to help you.

ive heard of this issue a lot, personally mine seems to be fine if not a lil laggy, but a lot of people have had the same issue and found doing an OS update to fix the problem. check around the board and see what you can find
