Help Humidity and the X

[meezi]

Do any of you DX owners have issues with using the phone while it's humid out? In the past I've had horrible experiences with touchscreen phones. Usually I would have to wait until I was indoors again to use it.

Most electronic devices like this type do not get along too well with sustained exposure to high humidity and this includes beaches (of course).

r u speaking of having slightly moist finger tips while trying to use the screen?
if so i am also. its nature of the (this) beast.

I don't know, is it moist fingers that causes the phone to go wacky? I've wiped the phone, wiped my hands and it still doesn't react like it normally would. I guess it is in the nature of touchphones. Oh well, maybe one day they'll be able to figure something to prevent this since smartphones are evolving to touchscreens.

Had no trouble with mine at work last night, 104 degrees,87% humidity.

I have trouble with ALL capacitive touch screen devices in high humidity areas.

Iphail, iphail music touch, iphail maxi, HTC EVO, Logitech HT remote, HP tabliet.

I expected my DX to be just the same, last night it was.

but wiping them off occasionally helps a lot.

When my screen is dirty or my fingers are moist I have issues but right now I am outside it's 96 degrees and 90% humidity with no issues.

Compared to all my previous smartphone I find it reacts very poorly in high humidity areas. Even leaving my phone in a separate room while showering and the doors open the phone wasn't happy. Im not really surprised by this or bothered.

Zero issues currently, and that's going from a 74 degree office to 120 degree plant floor
