Sorry for asking to this quite stupid thing, but I can't find it anywhere.
Are front hardware buttons mechanical or touch type? It is quite important to me, because I have little bit weird fingers and touch buttons are not bothered by them...
Thanks for answers.
mechanical
Thanks a lot. And huh, I wrote that previous question in little stupid way . Thing is, touch buttons don't react to my fingers, so I can't use them on phones .
right now........I HATE this phone
the screen is so sensitive it's ruining it for me
even a bit of dust makes it impossible to type a text message. there must be a way to decrease screen sensitivity or it's going back. I'm so pissed off with it right now
Sorry. Think it quite funny.
People have been complaining how insensitive the resistive screen. Now there is a capacitive screen its the opposite.
I hope I don't eat my words in a few days when I get mine.
Quite a few people are complaining about the over sensitive screen then changing there minds after a few days.
How is the dust making it hard?
I love the screen, and tipping is super fast for me.
Best phone I ever have.
The screen is amazing.
Much easier to type than on resesitive screen. you just need to get used to it.
have you guys (found) any videos of typing on the hd2? Wonder what it looks like and if you can become as fluent as with a hw-keyboard?
I have same problem here. I was using Touch HD before and now I can't type anything without making mistakes. T9 helps out but when it comes to password it's getting painfull. When I'm pressing letter on on-screen keyboard I quite often press other keys around. I guess it will take quite some time to get used to it, I don't think sensitivity can be changed.
P.S.
Guys from pocketnow claims that HD2 has about the same sensitivity as Pro2 and definitely less then iPhone. If it so I can't imagine how people are able to use iPhone
we have all been used to resistive till now. you'll adapt dont worry, its a change that we all now have to go through.
i have the ipod touch so i dont think it will be troublesome for me to addapt to the new screen.
after a week with this phone, i love that screen... it is very hard to adapt first few days, but than, everything is so great... it is much better like resistive screen... typing is super fast, sliding is easy...
yes i am also having problems with the high sensitivity, but i'm coming from solid keys so no real surprises! starting to get used to it now. I reckon OP you'll get used to it to. Give it a week or so!
You'll get used to it and never look back, I have an i8910 at the moment (HD2 arriving in a couple of days), which is also capacitive and it just takes a little while to adjust.
Fine here too, although the Opera "flick scroll" is too sensitive in a way - it always seems to scroll too far for me, at least a whole screen, so not as useful as the iPhone equivalent.
Anybody know if that is tweakable somehow?
There are a few practical steps I have found that have minimised the problem (for me) while we restive users come to terms with the capacitive screens we have yearned for:
Don't press too hard - it's easily done in frustration but it actually makes things worse
Align the screen - I don't think the factory calibration is too clever (this made a big difference for me)
Switch to a different keyboard. After labouring with the default keyboard and finding myself in a similar place to the OP, I reinstalled my trusty TouchPal and all is well again
Thse worked for me - hope they are of use to others

Same sensitivity as Pro2 ?, lol. They probably got a broken sample.
On the Pro2 I was easily able to put my finger on the screen without a click being registered. With the HD2 we got confirmations this is impossible, as soon as your skin touches the device, no matter how lightly you brought your finger to the screen, a click will be registered.
I used to have a Touch HD beforehand, and after getting the HD2 I noticed I would make a large amount of mistakes, and that typing was extremely hard (especially on the go).
But like others have said, give it a couple of days and you will start to get used to it. I'm definately getting the hang of it. But I would strongly recommend you enable T9. Getting the hang of typing on a capacitive screen comes naturally.
And try out the horizontal keyboard; turn the HD2 sideways and the horizontal keybord will be shown to you. You may find it a bit easier to type on that instead.
This is the best screen i have in any windows mobile, the reason i had an iphone was the capasitive screen it has but now because of this screen i switched to the HD2 and i am more than happy and i don't understand why people complain about this screen its simply FANTASTIC.
I think I can uderstand them, it is beacuse we are used to looking exactly where we are going to click, now, with the capacitive screen, we have to use our finger to do it (wich obviously wont let us see waht we are clicking on). I was a little bit stressed yesterday that I received the phone, but right now I am getting used to it. I am doing now a slide soft motion with the screen, and not the old press hard movement I used to with my HD.
I think it is great, let give it at least a few days so we can get confortable with it.
Guys ! listen to this carefully -- i have been looking everywhere in the forums , people have been complaning about the HD2 ghost keyboard/wiggling icons / wiggling screens/ faulty responses/ faulty notepad !
Many people came up with solutions like reducing senstivity by making registry changes or by Bsb Tweaks !
in the thread [REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks* - Updated 13th July 2010.
tboy2000 has given some useful information about using the keyboard and reducing its senstivity !
29. Tips to Improve Typing Accuracy on Keyboard
Tap each key very lightly and watch the keyboard as you type each letter. Don't watch the suggested words that pop up. Type at a moderate pace. Don't rush. Try the Align Screen option in the Settings/System/Screen menu. Don't press hard. Press as light as physically possible - barely touching the screen and wait at each crosshair until it moves. If you are right handed, for the middle and two right most crosshairs use your right thumb and for the left two most crosshairs use your left thumb. If you were holding the phone with both hands and wanted to touch something on the extreme left of screen you would use your left thumb would you? Also, turn on Spell Correction in Touch Input options and turn off vibration for keys too!
Finally the following cab decreases the sensitivity on the keyboard allowing for less mistakes. Really works. A life saver.

http://rapidshare.com/files/30827317...n_original.cab (Cab to restore default settings of keyboard)
But it does work for some ! and not for many others because this is a hardware fault - the touchscreen is faulty ! many of the intital hd2's were manufactured with the faulty touchscreen - as the result we got a messed up keyboard !
very useful info has been given by dontcryjustfly in his thread with all the errors demonstrated by videos --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595655
By checking out google ! youtube ! many other sites - the conclusion is the hardware fault which cannot be fixed by any soft mod or any other senstivity reducing software ! the touchscreen shows abnormality ! many of the intitial hd2 had this problem ..ie defective touchscreen...and some people say that that the screen is super sensitive! but that is wrong !
Best solution is to get the screen replaced under warranty and if its not under warranty search ebay or amazon for the hd2 digitizer and replace the screen yourself !
sorry for using so much space ! but many people are posting waste threads everyday regarding the keyboard and touchscreen ! i just wanted to post a thread to give the ANS and solution to the problem! please lock and pin this thread ! so that people dont ask about this problem again !
These are the same problems im having. thanks for the advice
Hi,
I played around with a Asus Transformer...I'm getting my own soon (very soon!).
Comparing it to the touch sensitivity of xoom and iPad2's, the Asus doesn't seem to be as sensitive. I'm a novice when it comes to Droid. Is there a setting to change the sensitivity? Sometimes it seems like I keep having to tap something again because it didn't take the first time.
I'm hoping it's a software adjustment, and not a hardware limitation...
I've search the forum where some people were having actual issues with the touch screen not responding or not responding in certain areas. That isn't my question - the screen responds, just not to quick/light touches on icons.
Thanks!

i dont think there is any setting to adjust sensitivity. Ive not tried the other pads but ive never had any problem with lack of sensitivity on my TF.
Maybe once the devs really get into the TF there might be some tweaks possible.
Was wondering if there's a mod/app out there that allows you to disable touch response from say the top 1/5th of the screen?
Would be incredibly useful when reading ebooks due to the way i hold my nexus 7...
Thanks for any/all suggestions!
Would also help w the damned ghost touches - always happen in that area - drives me nuts sometimes :banghead:
I must be dreaming lol
