I read how simple it is, advanced gaming settings, I've read a few things. Ss usual though, it will not apply to my phone. I keep kicking myself out of Darkness Rises because my attacks are right above it!!! I maxed the sensitivity, really annoying and problematic. Please help if you can!!

Hi there, I woke up this morning and ran Yahoo GO 3.0 Beta on my phone, and it did something it actually never did. It ran in Full screen mode, and for once I could see everything that it looked like. No part was cut out of the screen. The taskbar disappeared, and so did the one at the bottom, just plane full screen mode like when you watching a video. But after a while it went back to the normal way it use to be. But it was enjoyable while it lasted
So Please, my Question is; IS there a way to make programs run in full screen mode all the time? A Hack? Program to enable this? It would be highly appreciated if someone helps me shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance
what's yahoo go do?
Couldn't agree more...
I've been trying to find a solution to this problem too, for weeks now. I write a lot and all that screen space being wasted on the command bars in p-word is just silly. I found some toggles that kill the bottom bar on the today screen:
VJtoggletoday (sorry, can't find the download link right now)
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357027
But nothing like that that would work for other programs. From what I gather, Wisbar Advance can kill the bottom bar permanently, but I've been trying to learn it for about a week now and hell if I can figure out how to load a theme much less anything "advanced". Not the most intuitive piece of software.
I'm surprised that this is such a rarely brought up issue, especially with qvga devices.
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
Cheers
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.
Ok, this new update is annoying. I like to scroll the way it was before 3.2. To scroll down, you move your fingers down and vice versa. This was logical for me. Why did ASUS invert them, it pisses me off. At least if you do, provide a freaking option to change in your settings. Reminds me of Apple, my way or no way.
I hope there is a way to revert back the way it was through root or a script. Any body got any ideas?
I've seen a few people say this, I don't get it. My biggest complaint with the TF when I got it was the messed up reverse scrolling, to me it was completely backwards, I love the fact that with this update the screen moves exactely like it would if it was real. Try this, place a piece of paper on your desk and lightly drag your finger down, the paper follows your finger it doesn't scroll up I do agree that it should be something you can set though, it would make it a nicer experience for everyone. The same with the new mouse pointer, I don't understand the thought behind changing it but let's make it user selectable.
it's just like the default setting in OSX 10.7, it's extremely annoying when you're not physically interacting with the screen, because it IS backwards to what a desktop/laptop experience has been for years now.
options are key though, why companies feel they need to change core interactions without a way for people to choose to go back to the normal way things are done is beyond me.

This. If you're going to screw with something so core to the use of the device, at least give people an option to change it.
The thing I find most annoying about it is how close together my fingers have to be in order to register as a scrolling gesture. If I have any space between them, it thinks I'm trying to zoom, which is ridiculous. Finger spacing was not an issue before the update. I think I would be ok with the scrolling mechanic if they allowed me to disable pinch-to-zoom in the browser. If anyone finds a solution, please post!
the pinch to zoom hardly even works properly, it only zooms a little bit
I made a new app from start to finish and even uploaded it on my Nexus 5.
It's called "Light Shade"
Head on over and check it out!

Sounds interesting,
What does your app do and can you provide some screenshots please? I'd like to know more about it
I don't believe I am allowed to post links here yet. I will post some screenshots and a link to the free version when I can. But for now, here is the description in the Play Store:
Here is the description on the Play Store:
Ever been lying in bed at night, not able to sleep, and want to mess around on your phone without disturbing your partner in the bed next to you? Of course you have...
What about being in a theatre or at a play and need to text someone or email without disturbing the people around you? Yep...
Ever been outside and need to use your phone quickly, but you can't see the screen for the sun? Uh huh...
LIGHT SHADE TO THE RESCUE!
Light Shade doesn't do anything your phone can't already do, it just does a lot of things quickly and easily at the same time, making things easier and faster for you. It's all about convenience and speed. With a simple yet beautiful design, it is intuitive and easy to use. Just touch the icon, (or assign it to a pie menu or navigation bar for even quicker access) and a menu will slide in with just 3 simple options;
Night
Normal
Day
Lets go over what each one does
Night: - Immediately cuts off ALL sound (media, ringer, alarms) and vibration - Dims the display all the way down - Locks the rotation of the display into portrait view
This is perfect for lying on your side in the bed at night poking your phone and NOT disturbing your bed mate. This mode is also good for the aforementioned theatres or plays.
Next is...
Normal: - This basically reverses the other two modes so, - all sound back to normal - display back to normal - rotation back to normal
Your usual usage settings for being indoors and not next to someone sleeping. Pretty self explanatory that one
And finally...
Day: -This button leaves all the other options at normal, but turns the display brightness all the way up!
That previously mentioned sunshine is no match for FULL DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS!!!
See, pretty cool huh? Convenience and speed. Just for Night mode, most people would have to fiddle with at least 3 different things to achieve what this app does in a very quick 1 tap. And switching between these modes quickly without this app... Forget about it
Oh, and this app also presents itself to you as an overlay, so you can access it "over" what ever it is your doing at the moment so it is as convenient and quick as possible without being interuptive in any way. Also, a nice and easy to reach menu made for your thumb. A piece of cake to reach with it, no matter how big your screen. More apps should be like that, don't you think?
Well that's it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and that it is as useful to you, as it has been for me.
Hi all,
Lost my previous details to XDA so created another account quickly.
So I get my Essential Phone today and love it But like everyone else there are some complaints around full screen mode and screen not responding. Where the Essential Phone dev guys need to look into a disable full screen mode or snap in so the home bar stays at the bottom which might fix some of these issues.
I found something that might help some people. Helped me with the Walking Dead - Road to Survival Game. This is where you get annoying options in corners of the screens that doesn't quite respond! I found this related to the smallest width 'dp' value on the screen resolution.
So I enabled debugging mode and changed the value to 524. Played around with a few different dp values after reviewing what width dp values are for other smartphones and found this to work quite well for the game I play.
Might help some people that do really want to keep this phone!
