because it's skin sensitive, it doesn't respond to fingers only. Try using ur elbow or ur toe. As for those ones that respond to pen and others it was made to be like that.

Reasons Androids Respond Only To Fingers

I know we have a lot of genius and brilliant people in this place. Ok. This is my question. Why is it that phones like androids, ipad,ipod etc does not respond to other things like erazer, pen,plastic,metals etc but only to human fingers and body?

It seems something dey chop on top your brain. Please go and do your findings very well... Cos robbing my android on pillow just proved you wrong now. So go back and re-do your findings. Ok?

Muyogoa:
i think it is due to CAPACITIVE SENSING not CONDUCTION(that is why it would still respond even with a nylon or cover on the screen) The phone screen require a thing like fingers ,body etc for sensing and calculation to know when and where you touched. I guess it is the gap(dielectric charge) between the finger and the capacitive sensing that cause it . The screen responds to the finger hovering above it even long b4 it touches the screen but the manufacturer simply place the screen at low threshold frequency (close to the screen) so that it wld observe to us as physical touch. I think Mr seun and lalasticlala will have a better explaination.
I believe the touch screen has lots of darlinton pairs so, the electric charges from your body switches the gaps...........

What am i even saying sef?.........
