Maybe I made a wrong question. When you hold the phone on hand and you move it from left to right, objects on screen remain alligned with the floor. It's quite annoyng and it doesn't work as well....

Ha ha that sounds great. It didn't happen with mine

The home screen tilts if I move the phone. I hate thing thing!

any chance of a vid or photo of this? I've never known anything like that before.

from what i gather, he's saying that the software image is staying aligned with the horizon when he moves his phone. so if he tilts his phone at 45 degrees, sense will still be in line with the horizon, where as you or I would need to tilt our heads at 45 degrees to see it aligned properly....get it?

two days ago i tested on the dhd a coocked rom, Rmix i think, that came with sense 3.0. It has the same thing, that I assume is a standard feature of the sense. I cannot believe you don't see it. Try to move the phone from left to right in the home screen: I can see the edge of the clock, in the meteo widget you see the moon or the sun in 3d. At a first sight it's amazing, but now, when i switch on the phone the screen is not aligned.....

Been Testing The New Phone ..

Did you get your new phone ?
I thought I would give it a try ..
Its OK .. Nothing That Great I Think.
However seems everything works lol
Whats Your Thoughts ?
Found a few things I do not like ..
1. Volume Not that great - notifications kinda soft.
In-Call Not that great for a old fart like me.
2. The screen is a tad smaller then the hd2
So everything .. the icons and text are smaller
hard to read ;( Again for us old farts
Like CMY'S res on This ROM WAY better! 240 I think.
Also Because Of This The Keyboard Buttons
Are Soooo Small You Cant Hit The Right Letter!!
( I have Big Fingers! ) Swype Is Even Worse! Dam It!
3. The Screen is not as bright as the hd2 LOL
And Seems Not as Good! As The HD2!
Un-less you crank up the brightness!
4. There is no call history icon ??? FFS
What Really ???
5. The Icon For NEW Text Message is WAY to small!
Open New Messages and there is a icon Upper right
corner .. tiny ****ty Little thing. ( Big Fingers! )
6. There is a Program that comes with called Mirror
The Front Camera Looks Like **** !
However with all that said .. Its Mostly Seems Fast ( Kinda )
And everything I have Tried Seems to work and WIFI calling is nice.
Every program I have installed works well.
What DO you think ?

With all due respect, but did you have to start new thread for that? What about initial thought thread?

I think the moral of the story is to get booked in for sight and hearing test ASAP!

You do realize that the screen size is identical to the HD2 right? Items onscreen appear smaller because of the vastly increased resolution.

ashasaur, i told him exactly that in another post he started, but it seems people don't bother reading these days, only post new threads.

If you hit the settings button you will see call history. Not mention every call activity is log right in the main phone app screen.

Not true.
HD2 screen = 5,6 cm x 9,4 cm
Sensation screen = 5,4 cm x 9,5 cm
I have both phones and have measured the screens on both.

The screen is smaller width ways so it can be a 16:9 aspect ratio, instead of HD2's and Desire HD's, which was 5:4.

why do old farts like you get this kind of phones then ? small icons and textures hahah ur funny

The only thing missing now is an app that kill old peoples farts.
The size of the screen is what it is, but i love it

WarlockW: How about testing the device before you buy it?! For me in this case it seems it's not the phone that's the problem....
Reminds me of a story at a local dealership: An lady in her 60ies came in with a high and device with some problems. The shop owner looked at it for five minutes, than looked at her and said: "It's not ment for old hags like you!" True story!

I see 'respect your elders' never was beaten into an idiot like you...
The volume IS low vs the HD2, the screen is narrower and harder to type on and see, and the front camera does have a crappy resolution. Those are facts, and he was merely pointing them out. You just had to be the arrogant ass that had to post to make himself "look cool."

[APP] Touchscreen Booster (Increase touch sensibility, smoothness, multitouch)

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

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?

[Q] Camera turning itself on

Hi
I love my Sensation, but I do have one small problem. Whenever I use it I seem to catch the camera with my thumb and have to turn off the camera before I use the phone. I realise I could just move the camera button, but then I would just get the same issue with another app.
Has no-one else had this? It happens both with stock ROM and ARHD (currently using 6.6.5)

Not to be rude, but it doesn't sound like a "phone" issue...
To answer your question, no I do not have that problem.

Well, I beg to differ, but it is a phone issue, as that portion of the screen appears to be over-sensitive. I thought other people may have had the same problem and the fact that they haven't would seem to indicate that it could be a fault with my phone, which is what I was trying to establish.

Overly sensitive?? You happen to touch the icon for the camera app, it opens, and you're surprised?

Really? Your goal appears to be condescension. I am not an idiot, I have owned other smartphones, even other HTCs, but even my palm on the side of the screen opens the camera. I am not even directly touching the icon.
Please don't bother replying to this, as it is not helpful, but IS very annoying.

Have you tried just kind of training yourself not to touch it? I believe that is the first and potentially last step to solving this problem.

Took phone back to shop, they agreed that the screen was faulty and it has now been fixed so that the problem no longer occurs.
Still, thanks for your help folks

Image Burn on Screen

Hi.
I have an image burn onto the screen. How do I get rid of it? Will it go away eventually? How do I prevent it from happening again?
Device is Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 p3113

Lcd should not burn in.... does it look like clouds? I once froze an lcd screen by leaving it in sub zero temps....it was permanent damage but looked like a soft cloud behind the image.

I have seen LCDs whit image burn effect even dough I tought only plasma screens are affected whit image retention, if its badly burned I dont think youll be able to get rid of it all. On plasmas you could use specal moving images for washing burn in, you could google that and try.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

It's burned in. The address bar with the url is visible. I see it when I change the pages and on the lock screen. It's light but visible still. I need to get rid of it because it's an embarrassing url for people to see.

So you can see this when the device is off?? If somehow you have a stuck pixel problem sometimes s a forceful push will bring them back to life. Not that I recommend that... googling lcd burn in This is a phenomenon I am not familiar with and still amazed is possible.
Edit: google says it happens some sort of dead pixel phenomenon
Apple suggests an all white screen for hours on end with backlight low..
Another person suggested a very graphic intensive screensaver over night.

No, you can't see it when the device is off. You can see it only when the device is on. I think it's starting to fade a little. I could see it still but not as strong as it was before. Hopefully it'll be gone soon.

Update: The burned image is gone.

Next time don't watch the same porn video for hours and you won't have the URL burned in..

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I thought this is an appropriate thread for the problem I am seeing. I am attaching a picture of my screen.
Do you think this is a hardware problem / screen burn? or is it something that can be solved by reinstalling the firmware?
Your help is much appreciated
