[FIXED (repaired!)] Touchscreen/keyboard 'bounce' (update 26-10-10)

I've tried a lot of android builds whilst the development has been going on and found that Bangster's 1.4 coupled with Michy's R11 was the best for me with regard to screen sensitivity and keyboard accuracy.
I recently had a dabble with m-deejay's next-gen builds Desire HD/Z etc (which are excellent by the way, credit to him), and found that I was getting a lot of screen bounce, missed button presses and a very frustating keyboard experience (Hastarin R7.1). Pressing and holding the delete key for example would result in keypresses bouncing all over the place, sometimes several keys removed from the delete key. I tried a plain Froyo Sense build and found the same thing, although not quite as bad.
So, I decided to try the bare kernel from Michyprima's R11 (AXI, Desire, OC) on my current Froyo Desire build just to see if it was down to the kernal 100%. Instant bounce removal... keyboard is accurate and now when I press & hold on the home screen, I don't get the screen wobbling from side to side as the software thinks that I'm moving my finger around rapidly.
To recap; it seems like I was getting more bounce with Hastarin's R7.1 than any other, but certainly Michy's R11 (Desire based) is making my phone usable again. It really was bad before.
More messing required methinks... I may re-load the Desire Z build on to my SD card and try R11 to see what it's like. One thing I remember is whilst trying m-deejay's Desire HD 3.1 (which had an Evo kernel IIRC), keyboard bounce was almost non-existant. It wasn't until I changed to D-HD 3.3 that the keyboard became a pain to use (Hastarin R7.1).
Hastarin if you read this, please note this is by no means a dig, I have the greatest respect for all the guys posting builds here, these are just my obvservations.
As with all things Android/HD2 related, YMMV. Your thoughts are welcome.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I've taken a couple of quick videos of m-deejay's brand new 3.4 Desire HD build showing this phenomenon (kernal is huanyu's #21). Replacing the zImage with Michy's R11 virtually eliminates it.
Video 1 - homescreen
Video 2 - keyboard
Could this be Windows ROM related? Might flash another WinMo ROM to see if it's any different.
Edit 2 Sent my HD2 back to HTC today, hopefully for TS replacement... see relevant post here.
Edit 3 Received my HD2 back from HTC's repair department. Problem fixed. No more bouncing Relevant post here.
No-one else with similar experiences?
Me too!
previously was using M-deejay's froyo sense 2.2 and the keyboard was a great improvement from my old stock HD2 Windows keyboard, which was oversensitive and jumps alot, making typing a hassle. I did not have any problems with the froyo sense 2.2 keyboard, it was accurate and sufficiently responsive, and even have my essential chinese input.
However, after the 2.4 version was released, i updated it, and noted that the browser's bookmark crashes. So i though, why not give EVO Sense 1.6 a try?
Btw, i did not realise any problems with the 2.4 keyboard, so it's probably as good as the 2.2 version.
Then i ran EVO sense 1.6, and i feel that the keyboard is different. Firstly it's the additional arrow buttons below, which is useful, and more like the original HD2's keyboard. Then it also has chinese input.
BUT i experience alot of the "bouncing" problems, if not more than my original HD2 windows rom. tried calibrating a few times, and deleting the calibration, but it doesn't help.
i want to emphasize again i am very grateful to all the developers like M-deejay, Hastarin, for developing all these builds that are effectively working. this is likewise, just my observation.
Anyone else? I can't believe it's just us two!
Videos added to 1st post.
I tried to replicate your problem (m-deejay's Desire HD 3.4) but I coulnd't. I also thinkg that the keyboarad its not as accurate as some of the builds but its not that bad as yours.
I'm sorry to say but the lag with the keyboard kinda looks funny
My keyboard isn't very accurate too. Sometimes it just takes the wrong key. I mean when I press the backslash it takes "m" or something although i was pressing backslash. This was on Hastarin 4.1.
But it really seems to be kernel related. With the r11 my keyboard is okay.
I don't think is caused by the WM ROM, but which one do you use?
have the same prob!
yep...and I get phantom touches also.

Thanks for your reply. However, my screen isn't defective as I don't have this problem in Windows and using a different kernel fixes it.

that's great my friend
Well.. i have the same thing in hastarins latest kernel
I dont have this on DesireZ out the box.
I have MDeejay's latest Desire HD build and have this problem, how do I fix it? If I need to replace the Kernel how do I do it? What side effects will it have?
Thanks in advance
keyboard bounce also experienced by me when i am trying to type fast, using hastrin r7.1 as well, maybe is caused by the touchscreen delay?
have you tried keyboard calibration?
in the setting menu ..
it ask you to type that ..lazy brown fox jumps..
it helps me alot.. well some of it i guess
and also try the schrub bartome build. the keyboard is perfect-iphone like. im using this build for day use
I experience the same issue with the new kernel releases. But with hastarin #3 the touchscreen works normally.

No it's not possible... There are roms who should support it but I dunno if it's placebo or not.

Multitouch problem in NexusHD CM9 4.0.4 ICS HWA rom

Hey
I installed this rom yesterday, my applications are much smoother, but i have a huge problem, which makes almost every game unplayable. When i try to play the game with 2 fingers, it doesnt respond well. Is there any way to fix this?

That's not a problem with the ROM as much as it is a general problem with the HD2 unfortunately. It only supports 2 points on the screen, and I've found it does that terribly as well.

I dont think so, in my previous rom (Typhoon CM7) multitouch worked flawlessly in the games. After all these updates, how isnt it a priority to fix this?

Because it's working for almost everyone, so it isn't really a 'known problem' as such. What version of the ROM are you on? If you're on 2.1 it'll be a bit shady, but multitouch works as well as it did on Typhoon for me on v2.2 (haven't got round to the 2.3 update yet).

I'll reinstall the rom (now the 2.3 version) hopefully this will fix the problem.

Hmm, try going into the settings>developer options and enabling 'pointer location', then see if both the points are detected. Don't worry if the two points sometimes 'lock together', this is normal for the HD2's outdated screen

I tried this, i can certainly feel the "lock together"-effect. Is that supposed to be normal? If thats a HD2 related problem, how come i havent experienced this before?

As far as I know that's a HD2 problem, yes. You probably have experienced it before, but haven't noticed it because you don't have the visual feedback to show you that it's happening. It doesn't have much of an effect during gaming (surprisingly)
omethek
it is a problem, because any game with a joystick is unplayable.
edit: besides the 'lock together', sometimes when the touch points are close to eachother, they are detected "inversed". is that normal too?
I agree that our device is outdated, but I've never experienced such issues.
I played multitouch games on WP7, Android GB & (Currently) ICS .. Even GTA 3, the movements are precise.
Not sure what you two are facing, but it's definitely not "too-old" related.
The only thing that the HD2 can't do is handling more than two finger points, other than that, everything seems to be fine for me.
There are lockups, but they are rare.

I'm beginning to agree with Marvlesz here, these issues aren't that normal. I've never had the points becoming inversed and I can play games with onscreen 'joysticks' (i.e. GTA3) fine, so I think you might need to take a look at some of those threads with the digitizer issue and check if others are experiencing the same issues.

[Q] Screen flashing

Have had this issue since I first got my nook. When sleeping the screen will flash, not very bright, hard to see outside of a fully darkened room. Has anyone seen a way to fix this?

Everyone has the Touch screen issue, even if you don't notice it.
Some have big problems with the touch, and everybody else has normal use touchscreen issue, the guys that tell you that they don't have the TS Issue is not using the phone enough.

I've been on the stock kitkat ever since it was released and don't have any issue related to touchscreen. The previous build (.681) did have issues like overheating, camera app freeze / lag etc. but I didn't see anyone here complaining about the touchscreen. Maybe I missed if anyone did, but would you kindly elaborate as to what issues exactly do you have? I would like to test it on mine.
Anyway, after a day's use on the latest .757 build, my Z1 seems to work as it should with no noticeable issues so far. No sound bug, camera app works fine (no issue with the shutter key anymore), no overheating or mediaserver issue. Battery seems to be better than on jellybean for me. Also attached a couple of screenshots below showing no unusual battery drain on standby (which many are complaining) of 7 hrs with 1 hr screen on time (with 85% battery left for use).
Wow, I seriously hope the RAM consumption has been fixed. The Z1 is the worse multitasking phone I've come across in flagships, just too much of RAM usage and not enough to go around to keep enough stuff in memory. Now to wait for [NUT] to release the rooted version for the C902.

yes, the touchscreen issues is rare and the Z1 works at 90% without any problem
I had this touchscreen issue only once. It didnt recognize the input and when it did, they were not accurate. But like I said it only appeared once. The only things that are annoying are the RAM usage and the camera app lag..I hope that they are fixed in this update
If you use 'pattern unlock' or 'swipe keyboard' you will have come across the touchsceen issue.
Works most of the time but there is defo issues there!

I'm by the phone every day I spend over 8-9 hours, and most of the time on the internet. Over the past nearly five months that I have this phone, I've never had a problem with the touchscreen.
