I am sorry if this is in the wrong area or has already been answered somewhere else. I have searched high and low and cannot find the answer.
I have an HTC Touch Pro (sprint) and have slide2unlock2 loaded on it. Everything is great except that the slider is too small for my stubby fingers. I often have to try 3 or 4 times (or more) before it will slide properly.
My question is this: Is there a way to increase the height of the slider button so it takes up more of the screen. The width of the slider button is OK, i just need it to be taller. Any advice?>
Thanks in advance
Currently from what i have seen in the thread no there isnt. I personally gave up after a day as i fail to see why i needed it. Each to their own.

My keyboard has been lagging and doing other strange things that has got me worried. I did a hard reset on it yesterday and before I even installed any software I was forced to use the on-screen board for a spell as the slide out was un-responsive. I chalked it up to some background process being a hog and moved on. Now I'm finding some consitencies.
On a fresh reboot if I open the notes app in landscape mode and start typing I can see the cursor moving but nothing else till I get about 75% across the screen and then there are some black artifacts that now look like a ton of characters all bunched up in the space of about 3 positions wide. If I keep typing till it does a return then the entire line of text shows up and the process repeats itself on the next line.
If I have a full page of text open in say Total commander's text editor in portrait mode and slide the keyboard out, it will make a pattern of those black artifacts diagonally down the screen toward the left side and it will not correct itself. If I go back to portrait mode all is well again. There is seriously something wrong here.
I can't find any information from searching on the problem but hoping one of the experts here could shed some light on it and let me know if it's time to think about a return. Will try to uncover more if I can.
Many Thanks,

I took some screens of the problem. Both pics on the bottom are the same document but left is with TC's editor and the right is Word. Upper right is word as well. Hopefullt the attachment makes it through, if not I can host and link to it.
If you are running a stock ROM without any customizations (you said you hard reset your device), then chances are you have a defective Fuze. You should exchange it through AT&T's 30 day return policy.
If you're not running a stock ROM, then maybe you have an unstable one. Flash Da_G's clean ROM and see if the issue still occurs. Since that ROM has very little installed by default, the chances of a software conflict are slim.
Please post back here with your status.
I was thinking the same thing but the one thing I can't reproduce is when the keyboard doesn't respond at all. Maybe the graphics and the responsiveness are 2 different things?? I'm wondering if clear-type might have something to do with the graphics but that shouldn't lag the keyboard.
Gonna disable Clear-type now and will report back.

Well if I would have done a search with cleartype I would have found my answer, sorry I didn't figure it out sooner. At least pople can see what cleartype looks like on the Fuze in landscape mode if they were wondering. Apparently there is no fix known other than to turn it off. Hopefully the laggy response clears up as well but not getting my hope up. Thanks for your response.

What an odd thing for ClearType to do in landscape mode... as for laggy response, flashing a clean ROM would give you a good gauge as to how preinstalled apps can affect such lag.
Same thing happens to me but in txt'in sometimes my keyboard dont work at all and i have to restart the device, but this has happen to me only 3 times and the keyboard still have life cuz when i hit the fn key or shift the light comes on indicating that i put them on. as for screen lag i bearly get screen lag, because i did some hack i saw in this thread and it seems to of help alittle
by the way am using the ROMeOS2, i was wondering if i was the only person with this problem but apperently not.
Yep I got the same problem. I installed the NullKb cab on my phone to keep the kb from popping up in Opera. It didn't work. I uninstalled NullKb, It still shows up as selectable under other input options. The lag got progressively worse and even resets will not get the keyboard to work.
I've got the same problem. It's really strange.
I used ROMeOS but now am back to Australian Three official rom.
It seems like, when ClearType is active, I can't see what I am writing with the keyboard in LandScape mode. Even stranger is that when you write an SMS, the keyboard writes fine as there is T9 active.
I really need a fix for this as this has started to frustrate me.
I found having "clear type" activated was my problem as well. I turn it off and my kb is back to usual normal. I have a euro stock unit. Very happy with the rest of it's performance. I can live without cleartype.

Hi:
I had the same problems. I fixed it by disabling cleartype in landscape (using Diamond Tweaks), and then installing the Fuze Keyboard fix cab, which I am attaching here for you, in case you want to try it. I'm sorry I don't remember the original post I got it from. After doing these 2 things, everything seems to be working great for me.
My phone has a little bit of play, like when I press the top of the screen or the bottom right of the screen, the top part of the slider will sort of wiggle. Is it normal or not?
Hi PwnCakes
Yes, this is entirely normal and nothing to worry about.
I say this next statement with all sincerity, it would behoove you to perform a forum search - this topic has been discussed frequently.
Thank you.
Concur
Its completely normal: I've been in contact with 3 Raphael's and this "wiggle" allowance is part of the design
my question is this. I just got a new omnia 2 i920 and there are several problems with this model that it would take a long time to post them all but a few I would love to see fixed on my phone through reg edit or hacked skins.
first problem I have is the qwerty keyboard. no matter what I do my messaging speed on this phone is very slow just to type out a few words takes too long. I also own a captivate and the keyboard on it is way better and more accurate. I can't type very fast at all on my omnia 2 whatsoever I find myself using the stylus just to send a message. on the captivate no issues and I can type very fast on. is there a way to change the skin on it? I'm seeing the letters closely grouped together unlike the captivate layout is much better and faster. i see 2 issues that is the culprit in this the touch responsiveness and the grouped up letters which I changed to the available layouts on this phone to Samsung and swype. I've changed the responsiveness in the settings and in reg edit from 40 to 0 it seem to help a little. can a new skin layout fix this issue?
second problem is the increased ring. as I get a phone call it takes like 5 seconds for this phone to reach the highest level volume. is there a way to turn this off?
any help on this will be very appreciated.
Hello Community, this is my first time posting but I have used this site to answer all of my other android questions so I know this is the right place. I have spent three days now on this 'issue' and still I have found no resolve.
My Mother bought a MyTouch 3G Slide the other week and she has very poor vision. The best solution I found for her was to change the DPI on the phone to make EVERYTHING big. This seemed like a good solution except the Phone.apk / in call dial-pad is off the visible screen. I am not looking to fix the dialer there are numerous apps that will put that in the visible area, it is just that in call dial-pad, and since my Mother actually used a phone to make calls this is an issue to her.
The only way I can think of to fix this is to make a custom phone.apk for small screens, if anyone can help me do this, or has a better idea please share and THANKS in advance.
Technical Info: Default DPI=160; Custom DPI=220.
This make the 3.4inch diagonal screen into a virtual 2.6inch one.
Screen Shot of the Issue (Phone.apk does not work to show in-call dial-pad due to me trying alternative ones atm but dialer illustrates the issue.)

Please if anyone has any idea I would really like to get this done as soon as possible.
Ok by accident today I fount a possible alternative. When the phone dialer is displayed even though it is out of proportion when I click on the area where numbers being dialed are displayed a soft keyboard with 0-9 is displayed.
However the Phone is a myTouch Slide, with a physical keyboard so holding the menu button will not bring up a soft keyboard. Is there a way to bring one up in calls even though a phone has a physical one? Also the physical keyboard is not a option for my mom when she would be in a call with someone and need to dial a button.
Is anyone having display issues with the bottom 3 pixel rows?
It's not entirely annoying.
The whole display is shifted up 3 pixels. (not the physical display)
The 3 rows of pixels on the bottom stretch out the image.
You can see what I mean if you use the ChargerBar application.
By sending the bar to the bottom 1px in height, the bar is stretched out by 3px.
Then send the bar up to the top and it disappears.
You would have to increase the height of the bar by 3px.
I want to show a video. But I don't have a camera...

I see it too... running cm7. Something needs to be done to the display, just change the number a little. If linuxbozo was here he could easily but i have no idea how sorry. Just try to ignore it, thats what i do. It is hardly noticible.
I see it on mine running emancipation....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
Its normal, noticed it as well.
I think its two pixels, not 3
What's strange is that when I reboot the device it's normal, the way it should look on the bottom. Once I turn off the screen for the first time and then turn it back on, this issue happens, and it stays until the device is rebooted again.
