    I can't adjust the volume and the stealth mode via touch. My question is how can i trouble shoot it and the second is how can i manually get out of stealth mode to game? THis has just happend today.

    Try restart. Touch control should work. Try not to put stealth mode again. There is a chance that the touch control fail altogether and u will not be able to resume back to normal mode.

    U might need to repawn or re-install FX again. Havent try both yet, restart works for me.

    Hmmm OK i have read that this problem could be fixed via a restart. I did that twice to no avail but when I shutdown and then restarted, it works fine. Maybe this will help other people. This happened after it came out of sleep too....

    Touch controls won't work after coming back from sleep. Instead of restarting you can try this. Press FN + F1 (which is suspend) then turn it back on and you're good. (Faster than restart and it works).
