Any suggestions on Touch Screen incompatibility?

[kickysnana]

Forever I have had trouble activating touch screen applications. At the grocery where they use that rather than a stylus I end up having the clerk do it because nothing happens when I try. Light touch, heavy touch, tapping, holding, nothing works. It is like I don't exist.

Should I mention my one son had the BMI machine break twice when the coach tried to use it on him. It worked find up until it was his turn and then again after it was repaired.

That sounds interesting. I too have all sorts of integration problems. Normally if you sequentially pause for a moment when you use the stylus you might get results. You could get into synthesizer and drum machine tapping too. Find a used drum machine and just get some rhythms like 260 rhythms and practice tapping them out. Your situation sounds like you are moving too fast and not slowing your own motion down enough. I do the same thing and I have no internal clock so I have to physically count 4 syllables to be a second which is tricky for learning musical parts and it forces me to be too slow to sight read.

Any ways good luck.

2. How thick are your fingers?

Most touch screens I come in contact with prefer thin fingers. For my work phone, I need to use the eraser-end of a pencil to work the alphabetic key pad on the screen.

3. Are your hands cold?

Touch screens sometimes don't respond well to cold hands.

5. My body temperature has always run low about 96.8 is average by 99 I start to hallucinate.

I also have Reynauds but I take an small daily artery dilator a little more in the winter so my hands and feet are seldom cold.

The family joke was that we must have some alien DNA to have weird normal readings. Some of the family run reverse fevers when they are ill. Drives the doctors nuts.

6. Yeah, it isn't all that technical, but don't eat potato chips while using it.
