Hey does anyone knows how i can tweak my touch pro 2 screen to make it more sensitive? thanks
i don't think you can, it has probably something to do with the hardware.
Have a look at Advanced Configuration Tool -- it has settings under HTC TouchFLO for Finger Pressure and Pressure Threshold -- don't know if this will make any difference, but it sounds good.
i think aligning the screen from the settings menu does that
tried the advance thing no good man i want my screen to be more responsive and sensitive
there is a registry key that you can change to do this that works, i cant remember from memory, Try searching

I see on your sig you are using photon ROM, have a look on tools-tweaks and open WVGA tweak, scroll down and you´ll see a section to adjust sensibility.
Hope it helps,

well the finger pressure is normal but it said intermediate as advised soo is there anything else?
when u align the screen use the stylus and touch it very lightly the screen remembers how soft u touch it so just barely touch it it works 4 me my screen is very sensitive try it

"Advised" means just that, that its the default normal advised setting.
Just make it a little more sensitive a setting and try it out

I have the Cingular 8125.
The problem I have with it is that the number keys are too small for me to tap with the tip of my thumb. Is there some mod that will change the size of each button, allowing me to use it more easily?
Thank
do a search for the touch dialer
Had the same problem
These are the best ones I've found. Plus, some of them are terrific for making the dial pad visible in bright sunlight. He's also working on smart-dial versions, if you use that feature, tho I don't know if they're fully functional yet:

keep hearing people mention this, what is smartdial exactly?

It's a search feature. As you tap in digits, it displays a dynamic list of complete numbers to choose from. The way I use my 8125, I found it kind of annoying, so I disabled it, but depending on how you use your phone, it might come in handy.
"...should not use your thumb !" ?????
Heh, heh. The only time I'm not working the phone with just one thumb, either navigating by mouse-button, by page-slider (with Smartskey) or on the touch-screen, is when I've got the keyboard out and I'm typing !
(With both thumbs, and at 30 wpm)
Let's see Steve Jobs top that ...
Used to be a big fan of Jimm98y's Dialer (CAB) but these days, I find the PaulyA.com Vista Dialer (WWW) much more stable and quicker to load. I just re-skinned it to suit my color preferences. He has most basic colors packaged already, to make things even easier for you...
...and yes, I'm a thumb dialer, and yes, the buttons are large enough for it. I found it helps considerably to double the sensitivity settings of your touch screen (there is a tweak here); this is especially helpful if you use a screen protector film.
...oh, one last thing. Smartdial is useful if you remember numbers and start dialing them to find people. If you're like me and have a directory in the hundreds, Smartdial isn't that useful. I passed on it, in favor of Pocket CM, which I can quickly navigate one-handed.

My X (close) button must be sized wrong. When I try to click a button that is just below the X (for example the green arrow refresh button in PIE) the X button activates...arrgh
I am definitely CLICKING well below the X button.
I am trying to find a Registry Entry or something to make that X button's activation size smaller.
Please help!!!
It seems to me that your touch screen is miscalibrated. Try recalibrate it.

There has to be a way to "size" the button's activation area.

Seeing you have an HTC Touch, I'm guessing it's got something to do with the biotouch feature that makes the X easier to press.
Using a registry editor, try HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure.
The lower the value, the harder you have to press. Maybe this will help. Use at your own risk.

thanks but I changed that also without success... again, i dont believe that is the problem because it would be causing this same issue with other buttons. The X is only one that gives me a problem. I literally can be tapping well below it and it still recognizes the click - this is very frustrating when i type in a web address and try to click the green arrow to "enter"...
also, it is not a problem on my wife's touch, which is set up exaclt like mine

cool proggie, but does not help.
does anyone know how to resize the X button?
I've used X-Button on several devices and none have had that problem and have only activated on the icon itself. Never off of the icon.
Have you tried removing any screen protector and cleaning around the edge of the screen in that area. I've seen protectors/dust/lint etc caught in the edge that messes up the alignment just in that area.
If you want to verify if its the screen or the progam then you could disable the X-Button in its settings and then install another Task Manager program like iLauncher .. Does the other program exhibit the same flaw or does it work correctly. If it works fine then X-Button was actually causing a problem. If your still having the same problem then its most likely something causing a problem with the screen.
I would like to make my X button bigger if possible, so going back to the original poster, is ther any way to do it.

If you find that it's really difficult to type using the hd2 - I advise you Align the screen.
The device doesn't make you do this when you first boot it but I found it solved my problem.
go to....
settings >> menu >> all settings >> system >> screen
I advise you not to use a stylus to do this but your finger - may be a bit tricky but if you can touch the crosses accurately enough with your finger you will find this benefits you when using everything.
I also turned on ClearType as I always had that on and default is off.
hope it's not been mentioned already.

Thats really good to know. A lot of people said that with capacitive screens you don't align them but with my Hero I had to.
Very very good news, thanks for this
I think it has a lot to do with the keyboard manager.
I've tried HTC's, Resco's and SPB's keyboard, and SPB is by far the best for fingers, since it does not change letters after you type them, and it even allows full-screen keyboard when you need to type a lot of complicated symbols.
Resco's is too small and makes it hard to type symbols besides letters; HTC's is overly predictive and corrective to the detriment of productivity. SPB just works.
Wow!!! What a diference. You barely even need the predictive keyboard after aligning the screen.
good to know for when it arrives, thanks!
im pretty sure I posted this, but im dead tired, so since im here...
anyone tried this keyboard, http://www.mobiletextinput.com/about.php
yeah someone who had a HD2 before me told me they had to hard reset after trying align..
so I tested it earlier (just to see) and of course it works fine.. typing is now a joy rather than a bear to use !

hard reset would just clear away the setting causing you to do a new alignment, back and fort
think you mean soft reset?

After posting above I did run into some trouble in landscape mode. However, a soft reset got everything working perfectly.
After using resistive screen we need to remember to raise fingers that little bit further when typing. I'm beginning to type pretty fast now without mistakes.
So are people definately finding improvements in accuracy of typing when using aligning feature or is it best to leave it alone?

problems with typing
I did align the screen and turned on the cleartype.
After doing that it was just a tad better than it was before.
And it was a nightmare !!
But i tried to turn cleartype OFF.
And it is alot better now !!
Does anyone find it annoying how sentences don't actually automatically capitalise after using a full stop?
I have 'auto capitalise new sentence' option ticked under input settings too. Oddly, it auto capitalises after the use of '!' and '?' but just not a full stop...
I too am finding this keyboard hard to use. Sometimes impossible. I have aligned the screen and am trying to be as gentle as possible. In fact I find u don’t even have to touch it to set it off. Just hover your finger above the screen. And even hovering your finger above it can cause it to go mad and press every button in sight.
Sometimes if I press backspace repeatedly, it will press m, n, b, and v buttons too for me. I mean that’s about a finger and a half away from where I’m touching.
I have tried using the keypad as the buttons are bigger and again here I find if I press 7 (pqrs) it can press the one button too, and u can see it twitching all of the place when u hold. I held the power button to get the shutdown/lock options screen up, and without even touching the screen it selected silent. I’m finding it very very frustrating. I have been used to using the iPhone 3GS for few months, which I hate, but so far the screen is miles better.
I even opened notepad and drew some lines and on some swipes u can see instead of producing a smooth line it jaggers all over the place. To me it seems over sensitive/broken, but from what others say is this correct? The touch HD input was better than this. But I have no problems using the phone elsewhere than the keyboard.
The phone is great but currently I’m hugely disappointed with the screen. And so its letting the whole unit down.
Am i being useless or does my unit sounds bust?

My HTC Hero does this also, which is quite annoying!
Ok, when the Touch HD was out there was a program which allowed you to increase the sensitivity of the screen, think it was HD Tweak. This improved the sensitivity of the screen quite well.
Maybe there is a registry tweak we can do to turn down the sensitivity of the screen to help out?
Has anyone informed HTC about this yet?
I found typing accuracy slightly worse after running the alignment process which is weird.
The problem is, we're blazing a trail with the HD2 as there are currently no other winmo devices with a capacitive screen. The HTC full qwerty doesn't seem to be ideally suited to capacitive - the keys register presses far too readily and sometimes, as your finger is lifted from the screen, it's very easy to register a press in an adjacent button.
After a couple of days using it, it seems accuracy and a light touch are the order of the day - until HTC (or another enterprising software house) release a keyboard that's actually tailored to the Leo
Is this setting is what need to be changed for changing the sensitivity?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Touch\Filter]

Tried set it to 1,10,100 and did not notice anything. But would love to find something like that.
I already have a cab installed that tweaks/ reduces the HD2's screen sensitivity to make typing a bit easier but this is till not good enough.
Typing on the HD2's keyboard is a nightmare as at the slightest touch, it presses unwanted keys as well as neighboring ones, sometimes more than one.
Is there a way to further reduce the screen sensitivity maybe via the registry and/or also to apply a touch input delay?
Thanks very much in advance for the advice!
Yes I am still finding the typing experience a bit of a pain. I hate to say it but it's nowhere near as good as typing on one of those funny Apple touchscreen phones......

Yeap, exactly... the funny Apple touchscreen phones (I have one that I dislike immensely) feature a smaller screen and also smaller/even more crapped-up keyboard, BUT, I type much better there with a fraction of the mistakes i make on the HD2. Why is that? There has got to be a solution... it almost just feels the HD2 is just too fast.. before you want to key in anything, at the slightest touch, you already did!!!!

Tried that one a while ago, I ran the screen alignment util whilst holding the phone portrait in my left hand whilst touching the screen with the right index finger. Still not as problem free as typing on the smaller apple screen....
ive tested both the bsbtweaks 'decrease screen sensitivity' tweak, and the stand alone sensitivity tweak in the hints and tips thread, and (certainly for use with swype) the bsbtweaks one does a better job.

Hello,
I can't seem to find the setting to calibrate my screen. My screen is just off with the touch screen so I need to calibrate it. On other forums I read it should be under: settings menu all system. In that screen there should be a "screen" button. But in my dutch ROM 1.36.404.1 (94358) that button is not there. Can anyone confirm the button should be indeed there? And would there be an other way to start the calibration?
thx
Paul
In settings button, you will see sound & display button, come to the last option in this menu which is of G sensor, calibration, follow instructions and you are done.
option not available

thanks, but I checked it: the last option is G-Sensor, which helps me to calibrate it, the one before is for display: in that one, I can only adjust the brightness settings, when back light is switched off, whether is is controlled automatically etc, but nothing like screen calibration. Would this be ROM dependent?
There is no screen calibration control for current HTC models with capacitive screens. The original calibration control doesn't work as it's designed for stylus input and needs a pin point press to register.
So, HTC leave the Screen control out of the build, which is also the reason Cleartype can't be activated as it's part of the same control.
If you really want to try it, look in the Cleartype topic for the registry change needed to make the Screen control visible, but beware that using screen calibration might make things worse rather than better !
Inaccurate touch centering is one of the built-in downside of capacitive touch screens. There's no such thing as pin-point accuracy in this territory.
We're seeing similar complaints about Android devices, especially the Nexus One. The theory is that the software is supposed to be intelligent enough to register where a 'broad' point of contact is intended to be centred, but sometimes it simply doesn't work as it should.
The only remedy, if a soft reset doesn't sort it is to do a hard reset but reports say the benefits of this may only be short lived.
Use this registry setting
HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen and change from 1 to 0.
infact u dun need this function coz u'll never pass the calibration, i'd juz tried it yesterday(the capititive mon can't make an accurate calibration)
