The control screen of the web interface seems to have a bug for the hotend temp and heat bed. The pointer is nowhere near to where my finger is actually pointing. The rest of the controls appear to be exact to where your finger is “clicked”. This happens using Chrome Stable and Beta Releases in landscape mode (haven’t tested portrait).It happens on both my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7" running android 4.4 and my Google Nexus 10" running Android 5.0.
If you go to the web interface and the manual control screen. Try sliding hotend temp or hotbed temp, the “slider” controls are no where near my finger. It is always way above your finger on the slider scale. There is no screen screen protectors and the pointer configuration is perfect in all other controls/apps.I am going to try to attach a youtube video showing this error.If there is an error with the link, let me know and I will try another way.
Thanks for reporting @Ed_Baker. It seems to be a problem on the Android Browser, I have seen it before but it only happens in Android. The event detection for that control is left up to the browser. I haven’t yet been able to find a solution for this but will keep looking
I have noticed this as well, it is definitely NOT the Astroprint software it self, but either the browser or the wifi connection.
Does it do it even when you use the Astrobox Hotspot?
@ Daniel
Do you guys plan on adding the Numeric Typing option, to type in the temperature manually, any time soon? This would solve the issue completely as well as a few others. Most touch-screen mobile devices seem to have a bad response to the “slidding bar” type of settings. With a mouse this “delay” does not happen, only touch-screens.
It’s not a delay or lag from wifi. In the video, it jumps to a certain distance above my finger (certain temp above what I am pointing at). It remains that distance/setting when I increase or decrease the temp. Hold your finger still and it will remain way above the temp you are trying to set.
I absolutely agree with a numerical settting. The slider is almost impossible to adjust within 2-3 degrees of an exact setting on the manual slider settings. I have to try 2 or 3 times to hit 100°C to remove or clean nozzles (warm filament pull to clean nozzle.)
I can work around this problem, but it is really annoying.

Yes, we hear you. We’re working on a redesign of the temp sliders to allow for manual entry.
