HTC Magic's egde screen touching is not sensitive ! - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi everybody,
I have HTC Magic phone, but the touching area nears the edge of screen is not sensitive as much as the center area. About 2mm offset from the display egde (both left and right) of TFT LCD below.
For example, you can test it yourself by opening vitural keyboard, and touch it.
These letters at the edge like Q, P, Del are hard to touch correctly than others. Seem this area is not sensitive.
Solution now is using finger to swipe out when touching these letters.
Anybody can see that ?
/sorry for my spelling in tilte : edge

No any Idea ?

The Very Edge is not as good, however at 2mm in it works just fine,
MyTouch 1.2

I guess that's what you call a design flaw in the screens being used in these devices. Same on the Hero and Dream. They all use the same screen.

Thanks for your answers.
My friend confirmed his Magic 32A should be the same.

Poor touch recognition on screen corners

Am I the only one that seems to be having a major issue with this? It comes up more with the added on screen keyboard in 1.5, it seems.
The corners of the G1 screen do not respond to touch at all, and I find myself always having trouble hitting the keys on the corners of the virtual keyboard. Applications that require you to touch any corner of the screen with precision (ie tic-tac-toe) are annoying as well because it's difficult to get it to work.
Is there any fix in sight or is it a hardware limitation?
definitely a hardware limitation.
hardware limitation means: normal hardware limitation or limited due failure????
I only experience this problem with the right edge of my phone. The top, left, and bottom don't have any problems.
Touch also seems to be less sensitive when the phone is rested flat.
My phone has the sensitivity problem on the edges too (mostly on the right and top sides).
For example, it's almost impossible to drag an icon to the left screen, because it doesn't seem to reach the threshold area.
The protective screen (boxwave anti-glare) made the problem even worse, but since it's much more comfortable than the glass, I won't be taking it off.
The easiest way to test all this is to use the whiteboard application.
So, I ask the developers: Please don't place the buttons on the edges of the screen!
The worst apps in this regard I've seen so far were the Video player (don't remember its exact name, its seek slider was unusable), and the sudoku with the number chooser in the bottom. OpenHome's app slider has the same problem.

Is there a way to calibrate ?

Hi.
Recently I Purchase Used HTC Hero. Upgrade from Jasjam...
Still new to Android...
In the Edges of the screen, such as 'Q' letter on keyboard, Sometimes the ADDRESS Bar, sometimes it does not read my finger, I need to lay my finger for few seconds, or move my finger toward the center of the screen, then it reads my finger.
It looks like a calibration, and/or sensitivity issue...
is there a way to calibrate the screen, and sensitivity ?
or maybe the HERO has some hardware issues ?
Thanks
Oren
you can re-calibrate they keyboard from the settings, can't remember where but its probably under text input

[Q] Digitizer Problem - Aria

Hi,
I just want to thank everyone on this site for the plethora of information that is available.
Here is a rather strange issue, that I did not see covered previously...
I purchased a used aria with a cracked digitizer off ebay for pretty cheap. I replaced the digitizer myself and all was good. I used the phone for about a week and dropped it. After that, the digitizer has been acting a bit flaky.
For instance, when it decides that it wants to annoy me, every input seems to register only on the middle of the screen. For instance, if I touch the top of the screen, the screen registers touches as though I was touching the screen in middle of the height. If I touch the bottom, it still registers the touch in the center of the screen.
I found that If I knock the phone against a table, along the edge, the problem goes away for a while. Then it crops up, again, randomly.
Anyone have this issue?
Thanks,
JC

[Q] HTC Legend touch problem?

Recently I found that the Legend sometimes behaves a little strange... sometimes I need to to push the display quite hard, not only to touch it slightly. And I found that this happens when the phone is left on a table and I am touching only the display( not the aluminium body). If the phone is held in hand or placed in the charger has no problems ... Here is a video:
(I still can`t post any links so please search youtube for exactly "HTC Legend touch problem" video posted from ggrozdanov5 to see it)
Is your Legend behave like mine do?
First of all stop pressing you display hard,that wont help anything. The legend touch interface works based on electrical current differences between your body and the screen.
It is most likely a grounding issue and is not an uncommon problem among touch screen phones. Try touching part of the metal body at the same time you touch the screen.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
instead of pressing hard try to make just more contact to the screen
for ex. lay your hand palm on the screen (softly)
you screen is made from glass and will brake if you press to hard !
Guys, I appreciate the advices, but please don`t pay that much attention to the word "hard". If you had watched the video you would see what I`m talking about. I know exactly how to make my phone work correctly - just to hold it in hand, or touch it with a finger anywhere on the aluminium body. I wonder is this a problem for every HTC Legend, is it a problem just for a few devices, is this normal behaviour for an HTC Legend... and so on...
I don't get such behaviour

Not entirely true...As most devices have PCT (Projective Capacitive Touchscreen), this issue would not happen on them.
But I think the legend designers wanted to make legend cheaper, so they gave legend the SCT (Surface CT). Given that Legend body is anodized aluminum which held in palm has a low impedance, it is sufficient...but in cases like this it might not work so good...
I have this issue in bed when the phone is on the sheet or so, but most materials transtalte capacity changes pretty well, so it's not so annoying...

[Q] htc hd2 screen

well my htc hd2 is using android and using it a year by now and notice that the upper left of the screen is not working?is it the lcd or digitizer or just need to align it?i dropped this many times(up to 5 times i think)but no damage on the housing and it looks new,and it is annoying in some games cause it wont work and i notice a very little red dot on that part.....pls help
If you lost sensitivity and the screen does not respond to touch, then it's a digitizer, if picture is distorted or, as you describe, a red dot appeared where it shouldn't be - LCD, sounds like both in your case. I am not quite sure how it doesn't work in games or whether the problem is present in normal screens. Alignment is a procedure to tune and correct mistakes in touch recognition or to make touch more precise on resistive screens.
I suggest replacement of your LCD + DIGITIZER. Dropping it many times may have caused it too, even if housing looks perfect.
