T865x : “Gloves Mode”

T865X : “Gloves Mode” 

I’m having trouble to use the tablet when I’m wearing gloves (Summer gloves / wintergloves / gloves with or without a rubber fingertip.. it doesn’t matter). The screen only reacts on my bare, gloveless fingers….

(On my older TomTom Rider 550, there was a setting to adapt the sensitivity of the touchscreen (thick or thin glove) which worked quite fine) .

On the website https://www.thorkracing.com/produto/dmd-t865-motorcycle-gps-navigation-tablet/

the following is mentioned:

Many motorcycle quality of life features like auto turn-on, configurable auto turn-off, ignition detection, gloves mode and three extra configurable DMD2 function hardware button.

In the device settings however, I’m not able to find a configurationoption where this “Gloves Mode” is mentioned…

The Pre-installed off factory screenprotector hasn’t been replaced by a aftermarket one…

Does anyone here recognizes this problem? (Or do I have to search for a 6th pair of gloves? ).

Hello

Gloves mode on our screen types is just a bad idea, it makes it too sensitive and causes ghost touches, that is why the option was removed.
Almost all gloves now have the touch-compatible finger index, at least for the last 6 or 7 years.
Have you checked the globes specs for this?

Good morning João,

like I mentioned, on my TomTom Rider 550, there was (almost) never a problem regarding the touchscreen. With every glove, with/without touchscreen fingerprint, it worked just fine. Ghosting however was sometimes there, during heavy rain/snow….

I just emailed my motorgear supplier

where I buy all my stuff, and asked them if they have a solution…

Thanks for your reply
