  1. touchpad randomly behaves erratic or not at all.


    sometimes, particularly when I wake up my computer from sleep, the touchpad will not work. the cursor won't even be on the screen. for the longest time I thought maybe my laptop was freezing up, but then I figured out I could still use the keyboard. I then experimented and found that I could disable the HID Touch Pad and then reenable it and my mouse would start working again. I've been doing this for a few months but I wonder if there is a solution.

    Also occasionally the touchpad will begin to behave erratically when trying to use two fingers. the cursor will behave has if the two finger scroll is turning off and on while I'm scrolling so that the cursor and the scrolling jump around. If I wait it out, eventually the touchpad goes back to normal. Disabling the device and reenabling it does nothing to help with this issue. but maybe there's another service that needs to be terminated and reenabled because eventually it starts working again, but rebooting the computer seems to help.

  2. Touchpad problems when headset connected

    My touchpad responds erratically whenever I connect headphones to my computer. I unplug the headphones and after a few seconds, the touchpad behaves normally again. But not always. Sometimes, after disconnecting the headset, the touchpad still behaves
    erratically, pointer lags, buttons sometimes do not respond. How can I fix this?

  3. Cursor clicks on things randomly all by itself

    Hi Tom,

    Experiencing erratic movements of the cursor could be related to a hardware or driver issue, a third party software, or could be caused by a corrupted program. To help us determine what may have caused this, I would like to ask the following information:

    • Were there any updates installed or changes made on your laptop prior to the issue?
    • If yes, what were those updates or changes?
    • Are you using an external mouse or just the touchpad?

    While waiting for your response, please try the following steps:

    Update Touchpad driver

    1. Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
    2. Expand the Mice and other point devices category, right-click the touchpad, and click
      Update Driver.
    3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

    Adjust Touchpad sensitivity

    1. Navigate to Settings > Devices > Touchpad.
    2. Adjust the Touchpad sensitivity to Low sensitivity.

    If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

    Regards.

    E66 behaves erratically after using GPS

    Hi everybody,



    I have noticed that after I use my GPS (with Ovi Maps 3.0) my E66 will behave erratically.



    I have listed the following symptoms:



    - Applications will not load (most of them);

    - Unable to launch contacts, calendar, messaging;

    - On standby, it will not lookup contacts based on T9 input ( i.e.: from standby screen, typing 3283 should bring any "Dave"s on contacts);

    - Will interfere on hidden applications;



    Anybody noticed that or can try to reproduce it?



    I am using E66-3 (211.03) with SW version 102.07.81
