hey guys i just realized the touch pad on my mytouch 4g doesnt move left or right on the home screen on anything is there a setting to turn it off? i kno if my phone is in sleep mode and i press the touch pad the screen comes back on, so i know it works. Any ideas on how i could fix it?
Does it work to move the cursor left or right in a text input box?

huh.. maybe we should make one master thread of people and their optical trackpads not working....
check this thread out, I just created it:

As far as I know and looked, there is no trackpad setting.

Not sure if I'm not searching right or if it exists, but I'm looking for something to mod the swipe action when answering a call if the phone is locked. I'm tired of hanging up on people when the phone is in my pocket!

So you dont want to swipe? The whole point of the swipe is so you DONT answer when its in your pocket. Pulling the phone out of your pocket shouldnt hang up on people unless you are touching the screen with your fingers.
I guess changing the swipe pattern is what I'm looking for more than anything.
The stock evo is an up and down (ignore) slide which gets triggered as the phone is removed.

I have problem with Sense 3.0 lockscreen. When I try to pull the ring to the center of the screen, the phone behaves as I would stop touching the screen for a quarter of second - in another words - I am moving my finger from the bottom of the screen to the center (dragging the ring), but the ring randomly goes back to the bottom and suddenly I am dragging the shortcut icon...
Anyone had this?

Same here, but it really is for 1/4 second so its not really that annoying.

For me it is annoying. I have to try to unlock the phone for several times because I can't manage to drag this ring to the center of the screen. I "lose" it earlier.
Have you been able to fix this problem? When I go to the lockscreen, it takes me several seconds before I can move one of the quick shortcuts into the ring. If I try to move it right when the screen pops up, I can't drag any of them.
Mine does this sometimes, although annoying, I found the only way around trying multiple times is to hold your finger on the ring for a second before pulling it to the center.

I don't have this issue. Ring works perfect

I have this same issue. Glad I'm not the only one. My touchscreen as a whole has started crapping out on me the last couple days. No longer registering fast swipes on the home screens... Can't get the carousel to come up at all anymore. I'm annoyed. It has to be Sense causing the problem. The EVO 3D must have a better optimized Sense version cuz that phone flies.

I have also noticed this, but only when my phone is lying down. If I tip it up, or pick it up it works great.
Regards.
Nothing is helping to relieve the issue for me. It's getting really bad..

This happened to my first Sensation so I returned it. My second one is fine and I have had it for 2 weeks so I think I'm in the clear since the first one started at 1 week.

I'm on my second Sensation from T-Mobile and both have the same issue. After about a week the touch screen loses sensitivity in random spots while swiping. This is first noticeable on the lock screen, when dragging the ring up it will "jump" back down to the bottom of the screen and not unlock. After a while I begin to notice that it gets worse and worse. While using the keyboard, swype will finish words while I am still in the middle of them. The first phone got so bad that I could no longer drag the answer icon into the ring when a call came in. I factory reset the first phone to no avail and have just factory reset the second phone and it is still having the same problem.
I will be returning this phone to HTC and hopefully they can get me a working model. I love the phone but this and it's locked status really suck.
Is there any way lock the screen in portrait mode. This is a big deal for me and will have to move on to something else if I can't do it. I love Asus and would hate to have to return it.

Haha, if you asked for a landscape lock then it's easy. Is there an app for your need ?
Edit: just learn the trick from the other post, our TF has a software lock: hold the screen in portrait mode --> touch the bottom-right display ---> turn off auto-rotation.
Yay. Thank you tons. That's exactly what I was looking for. Let me test some apps and get back to you.

I have a T-Mobile myTouch 4g Slide and The touchscreen sometimes doesn't work, I've noticed it happens more often when my battery is low and that it'll be working fine but when I use the phyical keyboard it won't work after that until I charge it up and restart it many times. There is a crack on the front so would replacing the digitalizer fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
I wouldn't think replacing the digitizer would help being it stops working intermittently otherwise it wouldn't work all the time. If it only does it when the battery is low then check your settings to see what is turned off if you have a battery saver mode. Easiest thing to do in my opinion is wipe the phone. That usually fixes this (I have even seen it fix physical buttons not working as well)

I have the same problem here. I usually have to turn the screen off to get it working again.

My entire screen never stops working, but sometimes when I'm touch typing, certain keys will refuse to register.
I don't know if that's a problem with my screen, or a problem with the keyboard app I use (Swiftkey X)

Keyboard?
Wanting to buy a MTG4 slide for my wife. Does the phone have an on screen virtual keyboard along with the actual slide keyboard?:

Yes, and there are many on the market if she prefers others then the HTC "Touch Input" and Swype that come pre-installed on the phone.

A lockscreen activated by a combo keypress (vol up+down?) which locks the screen on whatever you're looking at including screen brightness and position, so you might hand your phone over to someone without accidently hitting back or having the screen shutoff whilst trying to show them a pic or what have you. I.E. a freeze frame. Then same keypress to unlock. Forgive me if this exists already, I didn't feel like searching kinda buzzed. Mostly want it for weapon, mostly.

Doesn't exist but for future reference, post things like this in the questions forum.
I have no idea what you're talking about? You just want a different combination to lock the phone other than the native lock button at the top of the phone?

I understand what you mean, but just set the screen timeout to a longer duration.

I think he wants quick access to this function though also he doesn't want the screen on all the time after he let's whoever borrow it. I think this would work better with toggles on screen more then anything

Freeze the phone screen on whatever is there not allowing screen timeout, screen position change, key or touchscreen presses (excluding activate and deactivate freeze frame). Basically freeze the phone in its current state until you resume.

Basically make it so the phone is unresponsive until the button combo is pressed again? It's out there, I'll look for it.
EDIT: I'm having a hard time finding it, but if I come across it, I'll post it.
