Touchpad sensitivity problem

Hello,

I noticed a weird problem with my M3 the last few days. Sometimes, when I turn it on, the touchstrip is VERY unresponsive. I'm barely able to move from item to item in the menus when sliding the finger all way up or down on the touchpad.

If I turn off the player and turn it on again, the problem disappears.

Any ideas?

do you use the crystal case?

the touch strip can get screwy now and then...
same goes for the M6...calibrating it or restarting the player will fix it

it seems like a screwy touchstrip is cause by static electricity... not sure though...

Hello, Job!

No, I don't use a crystal case with my M3. I usually carry it inside my bag, but the pocket where it sits isn't crammed with stuff.

About re-calibrating the touchpad, how do I do that on the M3?

Thanks for the reply.

i have the same problem too..i just need to reboot the m3 and it will work fine...but is there anyway this problem can be permanently fixed, perhaps through new firmware?....Job, what do u mean by calibrating

The M6 has an option to reset the touchstrip by holdimg down the playbutton while playing a song. A screen will pop up allwoing you to restart teh strip

come to think of it i never used this option on the M3 yet...

let me see if i can find it... ill post the results ok?
I hope its in there!

M3 doesn't have such function... but... when it's switched on be careful to not be touching the sliding pad because it will make some effects in touch pad.
Maybe this is the only drawback it has my M3... I would like an action button away from the touch pad.

This has happend to me sometimes before too(it happens rarely tho) but a restart solves the problem.
