Help me test this tweak for the touchscreen. (updated - 2)

adolfotregosa · Nov 17, 2009

Has many of you noticed, the touchscreen is way too sensitive and while typing / using the device, the touchscreen does not react correctly / works alone.

I think i found a way to at least make it a little better.

Install the cab and reboot.

Please tell me what you think.

Thank you.

EDIT: V2 of the tweak. It is my best. Can't find better results.

in case you don't like it ..

Edit 2 - It seams that some ppl ( http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/hd2-capacitive-screen-too-sensitive ) like to judge without knowing what the problem is all about, so, two videos are really better than my english..

The problem in not about the display being to sensitive, is about it being precise or not and about ghost key-press ..

Just download the file bellow to understand what this is all about first...

I am trying it now. The screen has been making me nuts. I have had mine for four days now. I read books using mobipocket and it will start changing pages by itself. It will also register random screen presses when using core player. And don't get me started on typing.....Hope this helps.

I do notice an immediate improvement. I will keep you posted, but the initial couple of tests feel way better. THANK YOU.

I should have thought of this before installing the cab, but do you have a backup of the registry key that it alters? (Just in case I want to back-out)

Cool. I'm not finding any difference, to be honest, but I was just about getting there with typing and have never had any phantom screen presses anyway, so probably not the best judge

Would you mind posting either a cab or reg file for backing out? Not planning on doing it, but would like the option.

Cheers mate.

htc-hd2 · Nov 17, 2009

For me it's 100% better!

Way to go!!!!!

adolfotregosa · Nov 17, 2009

docchris1980 · Nov 17, 2009

It changes some values in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\Setting\TouchPanel

Ive been suffering nothing but grief from my touch screen, alot of phantom presses, if I just rest the phone in my palm and keep the screen untouched it goes crazy.

Just installed this a few hours ago, fantastic! Its probably too early to call it yet but this seems to have made a really big difference.
Thank you so much

blackb1ade · Nov 18, 2009

Can I ask - does this REDUCE the screens *sensitivity* in any way, or does it actually refine it's *accuracy* somehow? (if so, do you know how?)

Cheers

(I'm considering it.....I dont get phantom presses but typing IS a *****)

AndyGarton · Nov 18, 2009

Another thumbs up here, seems much better. It's hard to know for sure if it's placebo/just getting better or not, but it's certainly no worse. It's also hard to describe what the change actually is, but the end result is that I get things right more consistently now.

Appelsap · Nov 18, 2009

Works fine here also, don't notice a difference in touch sensitiveness, but it seems more accurate, can't say how you did it, but I like it.

Could be a placebo effect ofcourse, then again, I still like it

-NRG- · Nov 18, 2009

I've tried it as well but i didn't notice any difference but i wasn't that unhappy with the screen sensitivity as well.

Phantoms

You could try a hard reset to see if it fixes your issue.

Amazing!!

Was just saying to a colleague if this was on an iPhone, its tough luck!!

However this has been fixed with a simple cab file installation. Dont miss my iPhone 3GS one little bit!!
