[Electronics-Talk] Help Android double-tap

Sat Jan 21 17:37:13 UTC 2017

Okay, what's the battery level like on the device?  If there is enough 
charge on your battery have you tried charging yourself with static 
electricity then doing the double tap or long tap in that area?  I found 
with iPhones if my hands get too cold I can't operate them but that 
hasn't an effect on the android tablet I have.  For the tablet one day I 
wore heat transfer gloves and tried operating both devices.  The heat 
transfer gloves didn't transfer any heat so were ineffective on the 
iPhone but did generate a huge amount of static electricity which made 
my tablet display super-responsive.
