Screen sensitivity after T-MO Rom update

I have been patiently waiting for the update that was made available yesterday afternoon so I downloaded and updated my phone. Since it resets everything I really didn't get around to doing much with it last night. This morning I started to get my phone setup and noticed the sensitivity seems to have worsened, sometimes considerably, over what I had before.
Scrolling has become less responsive, the X (close) button needs to be pressed a few times rather frequently, the buttons on the bottom row of the screen do not seem to respond very well either anymore, and lastly it just doesn't quite feel the same. Of all the problems I have been having with my HD2, screen sensitivity (accuracy could be a bit better) was not one of them until now.
Is there a way to calibrate the screen that I was not able to find on the phone? Anyone else notice any difference after updating?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm having the same issue but over all the new ROM is more stable.

Align
Start > Settings > All Settings > System > Scroll down to Align

Also look for an App called TouchMark (think I found it on OMarket).
Neat little App that shows you exactly where you are touching the screen.
Maybe you have lost your touch
Also I use BsB to lower sensitivity of the screen which assists me greatly with typing.

Thanks for the tip but the "align" button is not in that folder on my phone. I searched and didn't find it anywhere else either.
After having a full day use with my phone the screen sensitivity is still a bit flaky, I would say it is worse than it was before I upgraded the rom. As for stableness, I have had several random data disconnects and small lags here and there that I didn't notice before. Unfortunately the audio lag has not been fixed. I should quit while I am ahead.
The summary is I want them to get the basic functionality of the phone to work and in doing so, please do not mess up the few things that are working, such as screen sensitivity. I am curious how long before the next rom update.
On a separate note, does anyone know where we can see a list of what they fixed in this rom?
Thanks!

Align?
Start > Settings > All Settings > System >"""screen""',, then align on mine hd2

??? are people on this thread a little confused??
going to the screen settings is NOT going to fix what the rom update did... the scrolling is considerably worse... not the accuracy...
for some reason, when i scroll through things.. its slow, laggy, and choppy.. its probably the most ridiculous "update" ever.. it simply made the phone worse... i wish i could go back to my previous rom.. before the official update.. i had absolutely NO problems with the scfreen sensitivty.. in fact.. i had no issues with it at all.. don't even know why i upgraded... pity...
and there is a fix thread floating around the TMobile HD2 forusm somewhere.. but that fix doesn't even get it remotely close to how it used to be.. now if someone could report exactly what the settings are on the stock TMoUS rom in the registry BEFORE updating to the official update.. it would help out enormously for the hackers who can fix what TMo has done to our phones...

people people dont fret!! just install HD2Tweak and look for the option that allows you to increase sensitivity and there ya go! there are 4 levels of sensitivity and i set mine to high and its perfect.

Iquigley- Unfortunately I do not have a "Screen" button in my system folder...
Just to clarify my original post in case it was confusing, although I believe accuracy could be better I did not notice a change in the accuracy of the screen, just a drop in sensitivity. Scrolling now has a tendency to stick and launch an app instead of actually scrolling. That doesn't seem to be happening as much now so I might have just adjusted to the new "feel" of the phone.
Can anyone confirm that it is just a setting that needs to be changed? At this point I avoid adding new apps to the phone if possible since I am afraid it will break something :s
Thanks!

The screen option in settings is hidden on the T-Mobile HTC HD2. You can make it visible in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen
Set the value of "Hide" to 0 (currently it is 1). Then the screen option will be visible in the system folder under all settings.

i went to do the registry change and cant find pen under control panel, is it under another sub folder?

Thanks Tobiascrystal. I am confused why they would have that hidden in the first place. I have been trying to avoid having to change registry settings but I might just be shooting myself in the foot by doing so. I will check it out.

[Q] What happened to my locksceen?

Hello this is my first post here at XDA,
I was listening to music on CMN 6.1 v1.02 [RMNET] [SMARTASS] [Kernel: Hastarin 8.6 Custom] and I turned the screen off normally and when I turned it on it looked weird (see attachment). I unlocked the screen and tried again but it was back to
normal. Is it a setting or something?
Thanks

It just wigged out about the orientation by the look of it. It's a mix of landscape and portrait. I've never seen it before, and if you say it's okay now then I'd just forget about it.
Can you repeat it by doing the same thing again?

yeah, its just a glitch with the launcher I believe.
...It was happening to me with Launcher Pro on both my Vibrant and my HD2. If you go into the settings for whatever launcher you use and change the orientation settings to be "portrait" only...it should stop doing this
Cheers

I guess I turned the screen off just before it changed orientation to landscape and that happened. That was the second time it's done this. I thought it was a setting because I kinda liked it.
Thanks anyways.

[Q] Rotate screen by 180°

especially when connected to Power cable i would prefer when screen would be rotated by 180°.
Yes i know there is auto rotation but this does not concern the lock screen an also some apps are ignoring this feature. Also the home screen is set to 0° after unlocking.
I'seen in different threads, that it is possible in CM7 to flip the screen my default but it is allways mentioned to consult the rom developer and never sayed ho to do this.
can anyone help ?

are you talking about cm7 or stock rom ?
in stock you can lock the screen by tapping the status bar and select unlocked
this will not affect the lock screen but my launcher (go launcher)

i'm about cm7.
maybe ther might be settings for one or the other launcher but i want to flip the screen globally so that it affects every app including the lock screen.
edit: i assume this must be done by configuring the graphics driver

I agree. It would be nice to keep power button on top.

i think to remember that there is a setting for this in /system/build.prop
found:
ro.sf.hwrotation=270
where you change the 270 into either 180, 90, or 0....
!!! but use at your own risk !!!

yes thats it man.
but now i habe to find a way to rotate the touchscreen as well

you will have to rotate the touchscreen and the accelerometer as well
i think that will not be so easy because it's compiled or linked in the souce code
sorry ...

yes this seems to be hard coded and needs a patch. I've never built android from source so i will no gonna put my hands on.
could anybody please place this as a feature request to the developpers. I've no permission to post in the devs forum.

well, i've 9 posts. including this one it will be 10

Homescreen auto rotate not working in 3.2

I am so tired to try different rom to find out whether homescreen auto rotate fix, but end up the same result. My homescreen can not even rotate to portrait. Rom trying KK4, KL1, KL4 3.2 (stock rom) still can not rotate homescreen. you guys know what is the problem? I can rotate only when i go to gallery. Help me please

Dont want to be sarcastic but is your auto rotate on? If you go to your screen setting you can turn it on.
Was it working before?

It may have broke try returning to stock and see if that helps. If not you will be able to return it for repair.

Icecream SENSEwitch V1.0 Keyboard problem

Hi
I would post this in the Dev post for the ROM but i cant because i have under 10 posts
I have been using xT4Z1N4TRx'S ROM since beta4 and its always worked as he has outlined in the notes
but now when i installed the V1.0 (after a full wipe) the keyboard back-light doesn't go on anymore as well
as it quickly flips from portrait to landscape and then to portrait again in a quick moment where before
having the KB out forced the screen to landscape unless the app didn't handle it
I just wanted to know if anyone else has the problem or is it just me and my noobiness when i installed it?
thanks
