Right, I can't see an Issues list for this device yet so I'll start one:
1. A couple of times now, I've left my phone to charge overnight and woke up to an unresponsive device. Power button does nothing, screen is off and only way to get it device back up and running is to poke the soft-reset button OR remove and reinsert the battery.
2. Unresponsive buttons: every now and then the "right" button of the D-Pad does nothing, then suddenly it will start working again, same with the "Back" button though much more infrequent/noticable than the D-Pad issue I've experienced.
I did not expierence the first problem with the charging issue.
To close and app you can use the (arrow pointing left) key but sometimes i have to push it like 3 or 4 times before it respond.
Same with the touchscreen but i fixed that by increasing the touchpad sensitivity with a regedit.
My device has reset a few times while I been reading email or texts.

Guys. The whole phone besides the keyboard is touch sensitive. So the whole front keys and touchscreen. Increase sensitivity and it should work fine.

Erm, I'm sorry but that's not right is it. The D-Pad, Send, End, Home and Back buttons are actual buttons as opposed to touch sensitive.
The zoom wheel is obviously a "touch" area too. The issue I am descriping seems to suggest that the switches might be a bit flakey rather than anything else.
no he is right all the buttons are PRESSURE (he said touch) sensitive..when they unvieled the diamond the ceo of htc demonstrated that the keys are pressure sensitie and even the cameria button can SENSE when your finger is approaching to ready the zoom ..here is the youtube vid

Sorry my bad. WM phones used to be called touch sensitve but in reality they're pressure sensitive. The only touch sensitive phones out currently are the iPhones and the Omni I would say.

If the were actual buttons they would be capable of being pushed in which it's not possible to do
Issues:
HTC task man doesnt work properly.
Poor reception
Too many startup apps/services put on by htc to provide touch interface (which i hate)
why on eart you use operaloder on phones stratup just to get 2-3 more seconds fast load time for opera.
i think htc just over done this touch crap.
could anoyone access setupfiles on rom so i can use plain wm6.1

Hang on, you clearly don't own either Touch Pro or a Diamond, the D-Pad, Call, End, Home and Back buttons CAN BE PUSHED IN. They are actual buttons.

No. I'm sure of it. I have demoed both a touch pro and a diamond. I meant that they CANNOT be pushed in as you can on the kaiser. I know this for a fact and on every video you will see that it is mentioned as a pressure sensitive all around except for the keyboard. I'm sure of that. They are not real buttons. I guess you could push it in if it's just a piece of glass and paper underneath the actual pressure sensitive touchpad, but it wouldn't make it real buttons. I know what I'm talking about Unless HTC suddenly decided to make them real buttons which would kill their profits so I'm assuming that they wouldn't do that either. I demoed it about 2-3 weeks ago.

1 - Not had that problem - hopefully that'll go after your next hard reset or ROM update - these damn things always have, and always will behave differently for different people, it seems!
2 - My Back button missed my press once or twice, but I think it's more of a hardware issue than a software issue though (or possibly user error!). I'll tell you now though, hitting the "Right" button on my Diamond was next to impossible. It was extremely stiff, and would eventually register as a press on the "Hang Up" button. Drove me absolutely mental! But I think I was the only Diamond user who had that problem, and my Raphael is fine.
having got one in my hand - they are tactile push bottons - i.e you push them until it clicks before an action happens.

Then I must be crazy. Since all I have to do is touch the button and a action happens. But my pressure threshold is very high.

I'm not going to get into an argument over this but the 9 buttons (Home, Back, Call, End, Up, Down, Left, Right and the centre of the D-Pad) on the face of the Diamond and the Touch Pro are buttons which have a tactile feedback, a press will not register until you "feel" the button pressed. The only thing in that area that is a "touch sensitive" thing is the zoom wheel.
Just because the area looks flush does not mean they are not buttons. There's a single piece of material that covers that area but I can assure you there are individual switches under there that provide a tactile feedback. You HAVE to feel that feedback for the button to do anything, simply touching it will have no effect unless you are using the zoom wheel functionality.
If you believe anything else you are wrong.

1. What do you mean "my pressure threshold is very high"? Are you talking about the registry settings?
2. I thought you didnt have a Touch Pro or Diamond?
I said I didn't own one. Doesn't mean I don't have one in hand right now I have family members and friends that work for HTC america and AT&T.
Yeah. Registry settings/Advance Config for diamond

Yes. Ok.
Anyway, so you're saying that device you have in your hand right now has no tactile feedback on the front face buttons?
If have insiders at HTC why did you ask for donations so you could get a Touch Pro in the other thread?

EDIT: Okay. Maybe I'm mistaken. It's only the d-pad that's pressure sensitive. The buttons are tactile even though they feel as if they are pressure sensitive because I don't push into it like I did with the front face buttons on my kaiser.
ah, you've seen the light. The button DOES push in but the panel is one solid "sheet" that covers all the buttons.
The "wheel" is the only touch sensitive bit. The 5 navigation functions of the d-pad (up down left right select) are all tactile buttons that work off little switches.

Click number 3 and read this caption: "Swipe your finger across the screen to scroll through contracts, zoom, and pan web pages, browse your music library, and more, or press the touch-sensitive buttons to navigate and control your phone."
So concluding to that original fact that I was indeed right
I tried TouchLockPro.
It seems that it cannot read the HD2 G-Senor properly. From time to time, it gets the correct orientation, but most of the time its doesn't sense any changes. For example, I flipped the phone around (using the movement defined by the default setting) more than five times and I succeeded in unlocking only once. Is anybody else using it?
Everybody happy with the G-Sensor in Touch Lock Pro? I have no idea why it isn't working on my HD2.
No, it doesn't work reliably on the HD2. I tried it for a few days previously, and sometimes, it would become impossible to unlock, using G-sensor, Vol down/up or even the light sensor. So, I've uninstalled it.
I've been using it for a couple of months now and I've not had a problem. Seldom does it not respond first time when I get the gesture correct. It never fails to respond to the volume control. My only problem with it is that it clashes with Throttlelock after going into standby so that I have to remove the battery.
and i have no time when it responds correct;y...almosy everytime it mess up everything, so i am back to standart lock-by pressing the end key

With default settings it will unlock by pressing Volume Down followed by Volume Up.

Ah! This is not listed as one of the ways to unlock (2.4 how to unlock) so I never knew that it was possible.
TouchLockPro on HD2 does not disable buttons in call
Hi, I cannot configure TouchLockPro to disable my hardware buttons when receiving an incoming call. I have switched on the Telephone API but still I can answer incoming calls using a button, which I try to prevent. I have played with the option of thye TAPI configuration screen without succes. What am I doing wrong? Who owns a HD2 and have it working and want to post the correct settings? Thank you.
regards, Danny Groeneveld
I have a Touch Pro2, and I have my G-Sensor set to unlock on upside-down, Portrait, upside-down, Portrait. What I've noticed is that it makes a difference HOW it gets down and then back up. For instance, it works fine as long as I rotate the phone (it's facing me) counterclockwise down and then clockwise back up. But if I rotate clockwise down and then counterclockwise back up, it never unlocks. Doing a clockwise rotate down and back up does work just fine if it's followed by either a forward or backward flip and then back up. But two full 360 degree turns in ANY direction don't seem to work.
Fortunately, I'm right-handed, so it's working out well for me.
P.S. This is one of the best apps EVER! Thanks SOOOOOOOOOOOO much to the author for developng it!!!!
I found Tedd's Droid Tools today. It has two features:
1) offers an alternative way to answer the phone when it is locked (use camera button or a long tap screen button)
2) In-Call Screen Guard
Quote from the developer:
I wrote this for my wife whose hair messes with the proximity sensor that shuts offyour screen during calls causing accidental hangups, mutes, etc. About 3 seconds after answering a call (or starting a new one) a screen will pop up over the normal in call screen which has a button in the center you can long press to exit out with. When the screen goes dark, the screen guard will restart as long as you are still in a call.
Click to expand...

There is an issue with the current version causing the screen lock to display right after the alternate answer screen appears. For those who have an issue with the slide/stretch to answer on your Backflip I tried this out and it answered every time (about ten tests). I had to hit the menu key and then either the camera key or the on-screen button the app adds.
The extra protective screen may be useful for those who have a problem with the proximity sensor not working as designed for you. The developer mentions that his wife's hair gives the one on her phone fits.
perfect on my xperia... even if you have it closed it's autolaunched :S works perfect although it's not replacing the sony ericsson call screen but adding some buttons

Yeah - it presents it's option as an overlay to the stock answer screen.
On your phone does it cause the screen lock (not the pattern lock or pin lock) to pop up?

I found something called 'Tedd's Answer Call Tool - Remixed!' installed on my phone.
I didn't install knowingly and now I cant find how to uninstall it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I really love the Nexus 5, But I have noticed that when trying to use the bottom row of buttons on the keyboard It aperantly detects one of the 3 on screen buttons and does what ever that button does! Which is a P.I.T.A. when your trying to type!
After the first few times of it doing it I thought something was wrong with my keyboard but after being a little more carefull and watching where I was touching the screen it definately has a invisible detection line for the buttons thats a tad too tall!? [I hope this is proper name for the description IDK the tech lingo for this]
Device info:
Stock Nexus 5
swype [paid] keyboard
portrait mode
Thanks in advance.
Questions belong in the Q&A forum. That's what it's there for.
Never heard of that happening.

As the question says my Poco X2 which I got yesterday is having touch issues on the backspace of virtual keyboard. For every 5 to 10 clicks, it feels like it is missing a touch response. Does anyone else have this?
I am using google keyboard and gestures are on. Please answer quickly so that I can RMA this if necessary.
Edit: I also tried Swift keyboard and same. Also, there is a discernable lag between the screen touch and touch register by the keyboard. This is only happening with the backspace.
for diagnosis try repeatedly pressing backspace and compare it with any other key on the keyboard.
Edit 2: I just tested with "Multi Touch Test" app from playstore and tapping at any of the corners is not that responsive compared to tapping at other parts of the screen, I have to tap and hold to register the touch at the corner.
I am beginning to wonder if this is a software issue. Thats why I need you guys who have poco X2 to test it on your phone.
@tinted You should go to service centre and ask them. I've never experienced any touch issue. Touch response is perfect for me.

thanks for the reply, also the service centre is a nice idea, I did not think of that. Will go to the nearest service centre tomorrow and ask them about this and if it is an issue then I will get a replacement.
One thing I have to try is to reset the phone and see if it makes any changes.
By the way, can you double-check the backspace button compared to other keys on the keyboard

Good luck.
I tried it with 3 keyboard apps :Gboard, swift and Moakey (korean gesture based keyboard), there's no issue at all.
And I checked all sides of the screen, no issue too.
