Hi, this is my first post as I only recently got my Infinity after getting a refund for my Prime. Presently I am running Stock ROM with Jelly Bean and it is rooted but not unlocked.
After the Jelly Bean update I noticed that while on the home screen I could longer change from screen to screen by touching along the edge of the screen instead I had to do the swipe action in order for it to change. Here's a picture to show what I'm talking about:
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...c2a86d1cf64/508863d2/1/4/2/8/0/0/9/Screen.jpg
Those red boxes are the areas that when you normally touch along there the screen switches either to the left or right one. Strangely, after a fresh boot up it, touching those areas works but as soon as I go into the menu area and return back to the home screen it no longer functions. Also if i should rotate the tablet to portrait and then back to landscape the ability to do the touch returns until I go back into the menu again.
Anyone else having this problems? Any idea what could be wrong? I did 2 factory resets with no help. Help, Please!
Thanks.
Oh I don't know. The people here, maybe? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917222&
There's this bar at the top right of the screen. It says "Search". Clicking the gear behind it allows you to select the TF700 forum only. Please use it, people here have little patience with those who do not search first.

Sorry. I did search for this problem first but I only looked in the Q&A section as I didn't think It would be in the General Section. Thanks for finding the existing thread. Hopefully there'll be an update fix for this soon.

Can somebody help me please, I tried installing a cab of the HTC Action Screen app from the touch dual on my Herald, after installing I noticed that the top right corner of my screen was not responding to my stylus taps. tried realigning the screen still no joy.
So I uninstalled the app but I still have the screen alignment issue, is there anyway to fix this without a hard reset?
sorry if this is posted in the wrong section as I didnt know if this was just a herald problem or if everybody had this problem?

It could be an old issue with a new device. Back in the day of PPC's it was found that some screen protectors slid under the case of the touch screen causing the screen to not respond appropriately. If you have recently put on a new screen protector or removed one, check the area just beyond the location where it is not responding. You might find something holding the screen down permenantly causing it to not respond. If there is nothing there and none of the things are present, I too am at a loss.
Just an idea.
Did you try a soft reset to remove the remnants of the application you removed?
@Just about right
Dont think it is the screen protector as I have had the same one on since I bought the device (almost a year now) without any problems.
@wovens
yep tried that
Ineterestingly if I open notes and tap the screen I get a dot in the right place, if I tap the top right corner it draws a vertical line downwards from the top right to the bottom. In the meantime what I have done is run the screen alignment, placed the styles in the middle of all '+' except the one in the top right corner. For the one in the top right corner I aimed a little lower than the centre, this allows me to click the X in the top right with the stylus if I aim above the box. not ideal but it will do for now as I dont have the time to reset this week...
I appologize if its already on here somewhere but I didn't find much on it. what I think would make the G1 much nicer to use would be a back gesture rather then having to reach down to the back button all the time. u know slide your thumb from right to the left when ur in an app and it would be the same as streching your thumb all the way down to the back button. If someone could either tell me how to set gestures or make something quick and simple to do it I think it would be much nicer to use and I would appriciate it much.
This forum is great and helped me tons on my universal so naturally I'm turning here for help first. I have a feeling by the end of the year Android will be killin the iphone! Turns out its not the phone, its the OS... lol..
The G1 does that to a certain extent but what you are talking about would require a lot of codding in the OS, I don`t think it would be a simple task. But if you are a coder and want to do this, I`m sure other people can offer you some assitance, JF would be one of them for sure. Cheers!

Possibly the only space the operating system reserves for its own input detection is the notification bar. I imagine it might be possible to add some kind of swipe detection to that. However considering how narrow that space is, I don't see how it would be any better than just clicking the back button.
As for the system detecting swipes on the whole lcd, that's probably a non-starter. It would break the touch user interface of many apps.
Currently there are two ways to bring up the programs tab - dragging the tab up and a short press on the tab itself. It *may* be possible to change the function of the short press to 'back' but I think that may cause a lot of inadvertent 'back' presses...

I think what svxdriver wants is for a leftward swipe to be universally recognized as a backstep, meaning not just on the Launcher screen but in all applications.
Not sure how well that would work. The o/s would need to distinguish between a swipe and just scrolling across the screen. Easier, I think, to just use the back button.

well it doesn't have a hard time distinguishing between moving up on a page and when you drag from the top of the screen to pull the notification bar down. in windows mobile I had a program that I could assign different gestures to do different things.. I thought it the same kind of thing would be handy.. but I wouldn't want it to go back cause I swiped, onlyl if I swipe from the edge of th screen to signify I want to go back..

Think he means winmo 6.5x too tired to explain,someone help the guy out
Older version of winmo6.5 have start icon on top left, newer ones have it on a bottom bar, so is the ok button and all the others. Is this what you are trying to say?
No way to change it unless you flash a new rom.
No way to flash a new rom without HSPL.
Good luck!
Yeah I'm guessing he is talking about 6.5X v 6.5 as well.
If your start menu is in the upper left corner of your screen you have 6.5
If you have the start menu in the lower left corner of your screen you have 6.5x.
While they are pretty much the same operating system, they are very much different.
It is possible to change the top and bottom bars with a cab, but it is not possible to put the 6.5x soft bar on the 6.5 op system or visa versa.
here is a link to a post with different top and bottom soft keys you might be able to try.
I hope this helps.

Did you get the bottom softbar changed like you wanted?
What phone do you have?
What windows version? 6.5xxx or 6.5 or ?
What ROM Version?
You can find all this in your settings under About Phone...Software Information
no im gonna try right now and i will let u know and thank everyone so much for helping me on other sites i dnt even get a reply so agin thank u guys
and its a 6.5 i guess my start is in the uper left hand side is that good or bad
and ive already tried at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642832 and i downloaded some and its not showing up at all it does ask to soft reset my phone like all other downloads and i did it but its not showing up
The supposedly more stable "COM2"/6.5 builds are what your phone's OS is from.
There are a different branch, "COM5"/6.5.x, which offer a more finger-friendly User Interface and have a different layout (start button is on bottom left corner on a taller bottom bar).
The link you provided, however, is for 6.5 builds and does work for your phone. Maybe you need to go into Start>Settings>Home and change the theme there.
I don't customise the graphics that much on my phone so I'm not sure if that's all that's necessary or if that's the correct method but it shouldn't hurt to try

It's there just need to do another step to get it to show up...
Go to Settings/menu-All settings/today.
Pic a wall paper and then touch OK.
then go back to Today, and select T-moble (or your default paper). then close it out to your today screen. The soft bar should be there now.
Cheers!
yes your richt thank u so much

Hee,
it wont come up? i did everything you said a couple times but nothing changed...
This is a request for home button bug fix on the GS3 Verizon.
If there's no easy fix I'm going to have to go back to 4.04.
BUG: home button takes user to home screen instead of just turning the screen on.
Event: screen turns off, before phone locking, and user presses the home button to turn the screen back on. But user is taken to the home screen instead of just lighting the screen back up on existing app.
More evident on Nova launcher where if user presses home button after screen shuts off it takes them to screen selector.
This bug is annoying enough for me to go back to 4.04. I've just have about had it.
This Bug on the Jelly Bean OTA release is infected all of the custom roms.
Not sure if the fix is difficult.
I don't have that problem....

I'd be willing to bet that you don't have Svoice installed. I need more info. What ROM? Apps?

Like he said, install / push S-Voice. Fixes the issue.
BTW - this is probably the wrong place to post this question.
Been super busy at work but, i have OTA. Not any custom roms. So I do have SVoice installed.
if i'm the only one with this issue, then it may take a trip to Verizon store i guess to get a replacement.

Hi guys,
This might be a silly one, but from everything I read the swipe to left with the screen off is supposed to take you to your home screen. For some reason, this is not happening, as it always takes me to the farthest left screen next to the blinkfeed panel. Is this working as intended, or am I missing something?
Thanks,

That's the way it's supposed to be.The screen next to blink feed is the main home screen so it reverts to that one. Mine does the same.
