Nookie Froyo Users!!! Touch Screen corners.

[hahyun6]

It seems that corner touch screen sensitivity issues are prevalent among all nook color users. What I'm wondering is, does nookie Froyo have this issue as well?

 

[rsneekes]

Yes, or at least for me.

No difference on nookie froyo for me either. I'm pretty sure its a hardware defect and not a software one.

I'm on a rooted stock, but my edge sensitivity issues went away when I loaded one of the overclock kernels. I don't know how the two could be linked, but it is the only explanation I have for the difference. I'm not sure if that's been explored on Nookie, but I thought I would share since that would point to a software issue rather than hardware.

That I'm not so sure of. Using "Touch Test" I see all touches, but they seem to get shifted slightly when I press near the edges. Maybe this could get solved in the driver (maybe with some help of calibration tool). I hope to have time to play with this sometime soon.

How can you be so sure?
If i use google market, sometimes the search button is hard to press,
but using appbrain market it works 100% of the time without problems.

No its not H/W I think, run some tests and corners work fine.

Its certainly something else, I also have better response after loading OC.

I've seen the same thing (I would bet every nook owner has.) The Market Search especially takes *%)(!%&! forever to get to work for me.

I've seen the same behaviour as well, some apps the corners take 18,013,108 tries to get to work, other apps I'm all "Whoa, first try and it worked?!".

I put the 950 OC on my autonoot but then I started playing with Froyo on a C10 SD card (very quick) so I don't know if the OC's actually helped with the corners or not. And of course this is the one day I leave it at home since I got it.

Use Menu>Search instead of trying to touch the top magnifying glass.

Happens to me with Froyo. I seriously doubt its hardware related. Seemed to work fine on the stock B&N.

It is common for digitizers to be less accurate along the edges but the Nook Color seems worse than normal. I've noticed the problem regardless of kernel or rom used.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the LCD Density. All buttons/elements are a lot easier to press when I switched to 240-250. It does look ugly though, it'd be a lot prettier when we get a custom rom running.

 

[JesterDev]

Sigvard is right. Fixed for me by chaging my LCD Density. I set it to 200, which is a little too large for me, so I may lower it. But since doing that I have had no problems at all.

Ha! I have the exact problem even with stock rom. I though it was the problem of the particular corner of the unit I got! It is much easier to press the button in landscape view.

I dont believe its the screen. Download AppBrain and tap the search button. it works 100% of the time

 

[dalingrin]

It is the screen. Use a drawing program and notice how it is easy to draw a straight line in the middle and not as easy on the sides and corners. Note, you need to drag your finger slowly or else you will see more interpolation.

Raising the LCD density just hides the problem by making the hit zone bigger. Fortunately, I can live with the it.
