OK after looking at the video of 2.4 I'm pretty sure it's a fake... pause the video at 0:13 And look at the rest of the font on the screen..
Notice how much brighter and higher the font is on only the 4 in 2.4. If you Watch the first 5 seconds of the video it looks like the 4 is brighter and even shaking at one point when he starts to scroll... the font and sizing looks completely wrong the entire video on the 4. anyone notice this?

Why would a Nexus S at CES be faked? Seems incredibly unlikely.
The video looks fine to me though, too many reflections on the screen to fake it, and you would have to be an idiot to to that when you can just edit the build.prop file and make it say any version you want.

+1. I'd like to assume it's fake because if it's not, he's holding a totally different version of the SNS. I'm not gonna leave it to ****ing GameLoft to tell me what version I have. I have a SNS I9020, not I9023, regardless.
Poll:
Question:
Anyone interested in an application that will translate key presses on the Xperia Play gamepad into touchscreen presses?
Would you buy such an application?
Extra:
Post what applications / games would make use of such an app.
Reason:
I started working on making such an app. But I realized, it probably wouldn't be that useful to me. So I wanted everyone else's opinion.
Yeah, I'd pay a few dollars. I'm from Ireland and I'd pay like 4euro, which is like 6 or so dollars
As it would optimize loads of games for our device, it'd be sweet....definitely worth paying for.
I made a thread about such an app ages ago.
If it works with analog sticks I would definitely buy it.
Browsing the net by swiping the touch pad would be cool.
i would so buy this if it allowed us to use the web browser and d android games using d touchpads
I would like to try it, sometimes I hate to touch the screen for whatever reason, after cleaning it (it is a real fingerprint magnet) with a cleaning cloth, I'm even thinking of replacing the factory installed screen protector (or shatterproof layer... whatever) with thinner rougher screen shield.
but hey, that's a good idea.
Be great if you can make an on screen cursor for web browsing, then copy and paste as well would be great. There are some games/apps that have fiddly on screen controls, would be great to be able to use these well, as well as being able to see what you're doing!
I just use the D pad and it can scroll thru all the home screens x is enter and circle is for back, it also works in the browser to scroll up and down to click on links

I'd just like to see the Triangle button be used for the Settings button in everything, much like the PS3 and PSP.
I'd also love a feature to remap keys, specifically to the touchpads for games that use the d-pad, and for games that aren't very intuitive in terms of touchpad and keys use!

Yup, it would be possible. Not sure if it's worth it just for the browser though.

I guess that's a valid reason, but you can already navigate with the DPAD and buttons right?

Not going to happen. I don't think Android supports a cursor, so that would take some real development.

This would be hard / impossible. You would have to change the function of the button based on what you were doing. (Change to MENU when on MENU Screens, Change to PLAY button during actual gameplay.)

You'd need to use a bluetooth device, though. The LiveDock is not compatible with the Xperia Play.
I reckon toy should do it, is help if you need any also, although I've not made an Android app before, but did programming at uni!
there is prob a market for this with pull out keyboards as well, maybe even for bt game pads!
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
It would be nice if you can translate dpad or touchpad inputs into accelerometer tilts for those flight sims and racing games that don't support the xplay's gamepad.
What about using the gamepad as a PS3/PSP-style physical keyboard?
Sorry to bump such an old thread, but is there any progress in this? Are you still going to make it? I am thinking of getting into android development again and might do something like this (no promises), but I don't want to step on anyone's toes.
Go for it, it's on my queue of apps to make but I haven't even started yet.
If your serious, we can work on it together if you want.

Hey xda followers!
I have a hardware problem with my Transformer since the beginning and was too lazy to change it by a new one...
My problem is that I use my device with no problem but sometimes I am loosing touch inputs...
If I let the Transformer go into sleep mode alone and unlock it, I have to force lock and unlock again to have good touch responses back...
Then I can have a good session of 30 minutes of use without any problem and then, randomly, touch input precision is lowering, until I can't use it anymore and I must lock and unlock rapidly again...
Very annoying problem for sure...
But today I decided to search through google, forums, xda, to have a beginning of solution to my problem.
And I found THE Touchscreen Booster application.
It's an application that was made for Viewsonic G tablet at the origin. The famous Bumblebee discovered it at first so thanks to him for that. And the thread talking about that is from gojimi. He modified the application to be more easily usable. So thanks to him too!
Being an android application and having titanium backuped all my applications, I thought: why not trying!
So I installed it and launched it... AND... TADAAA! Just incredible. It worked, no problem at all, no force close, no freeze, nothing.
AND: touchscreen inputs are incredibly smoother, sensitivity has been greatly improved, response time between writing letters is better, multi touch is improved... It's just paradise. I don't know if you tried Ipad but the result is that type of sensitivity...
This application can be used by all types of roms and for people who have problems with touchscreen sensitivity or just want a bigger one
Please leave here your feedback, positive or negative, and remember, do it at your own risks, I am not responsible of the potential problems after applying this application.
It worked for me, my Transformer had never been so smooth, so why not yours!
Maybe you will have to launch the application some times, when you feel that sensitivity was better before, or after boot... But you can put the application on your desktop and touch the button FixMe!
Share, enjoy, and say thanks

Seems to have worked for me....the keyboard doesn't seem that much more responsive though...the screen transitions are alot more smooth.
Thanks for this find!!!!

Happens to mine sometimes, I just turn the screen off with the power button, and then back on and its fine again
Thanks for the apk though I`ll try it out
Wow, nice. My touchscreen was a little slow and not very sensitive to touch input. running the app has helped quite bit.
Omg this is perfect.
Can you link the original thread.

This probably edits something in build.prop and other system files, so yes. I'll confirm this once I try it.

Well, when you launch it, there is no SuperUser action popup to allow the application so I am not sure that you need to have root access...
And, yes, it has an effect on every touch app (try writing a message before and after applying the apk or try playing angry birds, there is a big difference)
Sent from my Transformer TF101
SO i gave this a shot and some aspects do seem smoother to me. None of the handwriting apps i tested were any diff as before the test.
I already had what i felt is a smooth responsive touch screen, but was curious to see if it was going to get any better.
QUESTION: when you run the app it says after hitting the calibration button "Follow the directions exactly"
I hit the button and it says calibrating screen dont touch, but no other directions.
Am i missing something here or is that the extent of the directions...
All in all not sure if it is just a placebo or if it is actually smoother. I suppose others with really bad touch response may see an effect.

No, it really is not a placebo, believe me. It was even more noticeable in my case (read my first post about my hardware problem) but even when my device was ok, it wasn't so smooth as it is right now.
For the instructions, you don't miss anything.
The important thing is "DO NOT TOUCH SCREEN WHEN CALIBRATING" because it could screw up the calibration, and if you do the opposite, the result would be that you wouldn't be able to use the device anymore, because not being able to relaunch calibration (if you have the dock, no problem at all )
That's all

So, to people who tried this application, what is your appreciation now after one week of use?
Anyone for some feedback for who has used it for about a week now?
With my TF I have a "dead" / "very unresponsive" line (about 5 mm wide) under the camera over the length of the screen.
This is very annoying when opening the market (difficult to select the search field) or when trying to tap the taskbar when the TF is rotated 180 degrees.
Sometimes it works normally, so I do not know if it is the ROM / Kernel or just unresponsive hardware.
Could this solve it?

After several weeks of use, I didn't see any battery drain more than when not using it...
Archos 101, well, it worked on Viewsonic G tablet and Transformer, maybe Archos 101, but I don't have it so I can't test...
Why not testing it if you have it and report here, and if it works, in archos 101 forum too?
I don't know if it's just me but I found out while playing Draw Something that the touchscreen on the Skyrocket is not sensitive enough. I don't know if it's the phone's problem or an if it's an Android onTouchEvent() problem.
While playing Draw Something, I can touch the screen lightly and a dot appears when I am drawing. The problem occurs when I touch the screen and drag my finger a little; however, when I do this, no "ink" appears until I drag my finger a certain amount.
On my previous phone, Palm Pre, there was a homebrew patch that decreased the touch drag radius. Is there anything similar to this on android or am I stuck with this problem?
Sorry if this question has been asked before!
Edit: On the iPhone, this problem does not exist; "ink" shows up immediately when I drag my finger.
Edit2: I am Using TouchUtil and the touch screen is reading my finger's 'down' action, but when I start dragging my finger, it jumps exactly 16 pixels before the 'move' action registers. (screenshot attatched)

It's the way android is made. You can't fix it, the OS has a lower IRQ than touch (exactly like desktop).
On iOS and WP7, the touch has a lower IRQ, giving the smoother impression...
I think it was Andy Rubin who explained this?

OK so I just installed the latest No-Name CM 10 and everything is working great but have 2 issues 1.Google search on the home screen won't let me enter text just closes when I try .
2. The screen size or it might be called aspect ratio seems too small
Any advice??
for 1. Update google sound search app. Or reflash gapps.
2. Pic please?
OK so here is the screen shot but not sure if you can notice it just seems smaller than 1280x800
I updated search and still same problem and gapps was the newest one on list I can use the voice feature but not enter text I select it and it opens then closes right away
Used these gapps?: http://nexfiles.kjonigsen.net/tf101/gapps/
Check what your DPI is set to, that might be an issue. Idk it's very hard to tell by picture. The screenshot is 640x480 though. So I think the ratio is right by proportions?
ro.sf.lcd_density 160
What should it be
It should be 160. That's super weird x.x.. I'd try a total wipe and reflash, and look at build.prop file in /system/
Your first issue sounds related to the one described here:
https://github.com/josteink/device_asus_tf101/issues/12
Can you try that workaround?
That worked thanks I had done the offensive thing but not hotkeys
What about the screen my DPI is 160. It might just be me but looks smaller than before like when you change a PC from 1280x800 to 800x600 things just look bigger like you don't have as much room
Change the DPI then, to a lower value, untill what you set is comfortable. c:
So what is a good number
Sorry meant higher, higher is for bigger. I'd try 240, and if not 177, just tinker with it a bit. Some display dpi's break playstore but there is a fix.
This shouldn't be an issue to begin with. This shouldn't need fixing or hacks.
Try doing a full wipe/factory reset.

Not sure if this is an issue with the ROM or just it looks different to me now I think it comes down to personal preference unless someone knows what the true DPI is supposed to be and we can compare
