The following snippet of code released all touch events on mobile devices from jqxGrid allowing the user to scroll through page like usual. Fortunately we do not use the built-in scrollbars anywhere in our application, so this solution worked pretty well for us.
$( '#tableid' ).jqxGrid( {
scrollbarsize: 0,
scrollmode: 'deferred',
touchmode: false,
ready: function() {
$.jqx.mobile.setTouchScroll( false, name );
},
...
} );
