Touchscreen issue (check out the video) - HTC Incredible S

Hi guys,
I'm experiencing a very annoying touchscreen issue.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Please check out the video here.
Scroll through to the 1:00 minute mark...
I'm going to send it for repair anyway, does anyone know how long that will approximately take?
Cheers,
DaanJordaan

Wow... an invisible 3rd finger?

What's the app you're using to test the screen in the video?

Should be multitouch visualizer 2

Tried replicating what you did on your video with Multitouch Tester and Multitouch Visualizer 2 app but mine's good though.

It's multitouch visualiser 2...
Contacted HTC, got some stupid answers...
Mailed the store where I bought it, hoping for a replacement device.

Right,
Assholes from Typhone.nl aren't going to replace the device.
They're going to send it for repair... Which probably means I'll be missing my IS for two months...
Does anybody have an indication of how long a repair will take? The guys at Typhone.nl never mailed back last week.
Cheers,

[REQUEST] Global G-Sensor calibration app/hack

Hi, I am sorry if this has been posted before else where on XDA but i cant find anything on the development thread.
Is it possible for someone to make a G-Sensor calibration app that works globally for all apps on the phone?
I have the problem where if you say, use the layar app, the horizon is not level and driving games always go to the left for example.
I have rooted my phone now so cant send back for warranty. Surley a global calibration app for rooted users would be quite simple lol? not that i am a developer haha.. i have no idea, but surley its just a case of adding a number to part of the code for the g-sensor driver heh heh
Hope someone can help!
p.s Who else has this issue?
P.s. I just read on this this thread that Modaco's alpha 14 ROM contains g-sensor calibration in 'settings, sound and display and @ the bottom G sensor calibration'??
Is is possible for someone to get the bits requred to enable this on any rom that we can just flash an update.zip to get working?
sorry for putting this post in the development forum, i saw some other requests and assumed that was the place for it
so, Bump, any devs have any idea if its possible?
Bump
Calling all devs! :O) Does anyone know if its possible?
not one single person has anything to say about this? sigh...
bump from me too...
lastes cyan has issues after laying on a table.
It won't go to portrait mode.
i'll see if i can find a way to pull that little tidbit from their code. i found this while trying to find a way to unscrew my compass. i thought there was a way to calibrate it.
does anyone know where the g sensor or compass physicly is in the phone? i'm guessing in the gps box, but i dont know. in the early days of my G1, it sailed across the room a plenty due to the lightsaber/sword/fishing/gun apps. some call it Wii syndrome. i may have broken the damned thing.

Woah, I thought I was the only one with this problem.
Setting the phone on a table pretty much guarantees it going into landscape and I have to tilt it back up and forward to get it back into portrait before laying it down again.

[Q] Multitouch?

So, I bought my NC today and the I absolutely love it. As soon as I got it I rooted it and all. Everything was working fine until I noticed one issue, the multi touch is only registering two points. I even tried multi touch tester and only two points work at a time . Google searches don't bring up much so I have to ask is this a defected NC, is there some step I need to take to activate it, or do they all only have two point multitouch?
This and the lack of bluetooth would lead me to return it to get an archos 70.
Thanks in advance and merry christmas.
I haven't tried it yet, but maybe this is what you are looking for?

If I'm not mistaken, I think that's installed along with auto-nooter, and changes it from no multi-touch to 2-point multi-touch.

Ok, some questions, On the box of your phone is write "Made in Brazil"? If you put your phone on a flat surface, wait 30 sec and try to scroll a page it will fail? When you are playing a game and the phone is hot your touch fails? If yes you have a hardware problem, ask for a replacement, i had to change my phone 3 times until find a working one, my other 2 Z1 was made in Brazil, now the working one is made in China, some people with the China one have this problem too, but is rare. The Brazilian version is having an assembly problem, causing bad contact, if this is your case change the phone.

Ok, make a try with games and see if the problem will appears, i recommend you to do the following, pick a camera and record the problem when it appears, then take to store and change the phone, BUT before you go out test if the problem will come on the new phone, that was what i did, i stayed 3 hour inside the store testing
@MakaMika Sorry to say but you can join us here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540950
Anyway, still some chance to fix this touch screen problems with a software, a good new FW which we wait for it but I will not wait until that and I will send the phone back to the store when you bought it a tell them to fix it or replace with a new device, like I did. The phone still under warranty and should be issues free and it's not so you have the rights to send it back. Sony Service will decide if repair or replace.
3 hours???LOOL I guess i ll try the gaming test,what game do you recomand to heat up the phone quickly?

Yo eclyptos, have you checked the sony forums? one of the mods replied that a software fix that will cure our ****ty problem will be released in the next update. Cross fingers for that.
My problem occurs even when browsing pictures, swiping in the pattern lock and gaming especially Shooting games like CK2

This hardware issues can be managed via software that is why we wait for that FW. BTW we are not sure when and how and if it's hardware or software related but new FW should definitely help. They are aware about this issues and they point the FW in that way to fix it.

Me too. I try to clarified, Sony never confirmed it's a hardware problem of they touch screen. People has different Touch Screen issues, someone when touch the aluminium frame the Touch Screen start working well again, someone else don't have that but have problem scrolling pages or opening the phone with pattern even if they touch the aluminium frame or not. So here is the confusion, who have to touch the aluminium frame to let working the Touch Screen saying it's a hardware related (kind of wrong phone sealing) and others who have the problem even when touching the aluminium frame or not saying it's a software related. Many said also after the update to 4.3 the touch screen get worse, like mine. Now do you understand the confusion? Many send the phones back via warranty, many waiting for a FW pointed to fix this issues. Developers are aware about this Touch Screen problem so they try to fix it, even if seems hardware related, with the release of the new updated FW .114, .124 or 136, who know?
Yes,I get you.mine works well when touching the aluminum frame.I guess after all i should return it,didnt even enjoy the few days of having it
Are you sure that a hardware problem can be solved with software update? I mean, i know that software can turn around some issues, but this is not certain

Exactly, we don't know this yet. We have to wait for a new FW pointed to fix this problem. If they do it's a software issue.

You definitely should send it back. The FW I think it's the last chance.

Camera App does not launch using the double click method

So I just messaged ZTE about how I think double clicking the camera button to launch the camera would be a good feature. I thought, that's too simple, there's no way its NOT there. Sure enough I look in the manual and it says " In other screens, Press twice to launch camera..." when I double press it does NOT open the camera.
I hope some dev talent picks up this device. The hardware is there just needs some polish on the software. I'm very satisfied with this phone, My first none Nexus device since before the Nexus S. I was blown away by the design and specs so I had to get a hold of one.
Yeah that feature seems to not be working at all. Bummer too.
I noticed something interesting today with my axon. When holding down the camera button in any other screen, the haptic feedback triggers. So something is assigned to the button, it may just be a programming error.

So im not the only one! thank god I was worried I had some sort of internal hardware issue... It gives the slightest vibration on a double click but nothing launches.
EDIT: I just tweeted at AXON about this issue. Hopefully bring it to their attention and we start getting some polishing on this otherwise pretty great software.
Camera Key
the quick launch feature was removed last minute out of fear of taking pictures in your pocket. It may be readded at a later date with a software update. If you have any questions call 1-800-617-5065. that number is a VIP line just for the axon pro

Hmmmm well on Twitter s/he told me they would look into the issue So I hope that they come through... If anything a double press when the screen is unlocked would be cool too.

Their R&D dept is very consumer friendly and one of their guys at headquarters is a nexus guy and he's on XDA all the time.
Yea their customer relations is on fire. I just got a message on Twitter about an update from the problem I asked about a few days ago. I'm very impressed.

Which software version are you on?
13.1.14.6.W10 just dropped and it could fix that behavior as it is described as an update to multiwindow

Thanks for taking the time to answer.. Im on 13.1.14.5.w10 which may explain that. I'm not getting any new update at the moment, unfortunately. will wait. Does the new update also improve a bit battery usage, it is draining quite fast now!

I'll have to see if I can get some help but I will lose root but hooray for giztop!
Hello I also have some flickering since last update. The left part of the big screen sometimes appears darker than the right and flickers. Closing and opening sometimes fix it, also when toggling off auto brightness. Anyone in the same case or is it a hardware failure?
