Oh man sounds like you digitizer has gone bad. I've seen this a couple times. My friends Samsung and my daughters inspire has a dead spot. hope you can get it covered under insurance.

What Rom are you on? For a workaround for some things like notifications window, you can configure what your capacitive buttons can do (I.e. long press home button) to activate notifications.
Aside from that, I'm sorry to hear that you may have a failure in the phone

Sounds like the digitizer, but try flashing the ruu for your phone, if that doesn't help it time to send it of to HTC for repairs. It will be covered under the warranty.

Ok then. Go into your Viper Tweaks section. There at the bottom you'll find all of the various ways you can modify the Rom.
Select Buttons. From there you can see where you'll be able to change and customize what the capacitive (3 lit up buttons) will do. You can assign them from there.
Make sure if the tweak you perform needs to be updated (refresh button on top right side of tweaks window) or some changes require a quick reboot.
I looked and one option for you is to have a button long pressed to toggle the status bar.
Good luck

From what you pictures show.... the dead spot is opposite to the captivate buttons. All the tweeks on that are just for changing the button operation for ui.

I am interested in it. I'm trying out the free version (before I buy) but I notice somethings. Maybe its just me but when I watch a movie on the default player on my Evo4G, after tapping on the screen a few times, the lock disables. I can skip through the entire movie and even get out. I'm going to try it with a different player later today.
A few suggestions,
1) It would be nice if the toggle button changed (ex. inverted colors) because when I had the movie problem, I couldn't tell if it was locked or unlocked.
2) Is it possible we can change the location of the toggle button, at least like different corners because it's too close to the home button when in landscape.
One final note, when its locked, you can still drag down the notification bar. So far its looking pretty good. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong since I've only been playing with it for about 30 minutes. Thanks.
Man, this is just what I was looking for ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431037 ). Super!
I want it for e-reading in kindle or aldiko. Tested so far briefly on Galaxy Tab 8.9 (android 3.2) and an HTC Desire (2.3.3) ... Just fine so far.
I first tried Screen Tools 2, but that one messed up the use of volume buttons for page flipping in both kindle and aldiko.
it took me a while to understand some of the options, like the meaning of "auto on toggle". Also, the toggle app shortcut only works as "on switch" for me... With touch screen disabled, the toggle can't be used to deactivate.
It also took me a while to figure out how to unlock (the use of the tiny toggle button is not documented in the settings or anywhere)
EDIT: I realize now this is what's meant by onscreen button in the settings
The option to leave the edge active is also great, although I will probably opt to switch pages with volume buttons.
EDIT: swiping pages this way works well on the tablet, but is hit and miss on the phone. The edge size may need to be user selectable?
I second the idea to color code the tiny toggle.
Great work.
EDIT: I was searching (Google) for a long time using keywords like "disable touch screen" (all about turning screen off) and "disable touch sensitivity" with no results... Until I found screen tools 2, and then very accidentally this one.
---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------
Extra feature idea....
disable touch sensitivity along the edge only, keeping sensitivity on the center
Use case: I need something that allows me to hold the tablet a bit more firmly, in one hand, which means putting my thumb in the screen just a bit.

I can add the feature to block edges only, but there is an app called grip it which does just that.
And yes, I should probably use the icon for the status + maybe done kind of animation to tell you when toy unlock vs lock the screen.

After it installs, I can't open it. The screen blinks when I click on the icon, then.... nothing. According to my file manager, the app is running, but I can't access it.
I have the exact same problem with Screen Tools 2.
I tried to uninstall, reboot and reinstall, but it still won't work.

How can I make this work on Galaxy S2? Original 2.3.4 Rom
I have no camera and search button. Where are the settings?
I have installed it, but when I press on it, nothing!
Please help! I need this application!
After buying hardware key support, on my Galaxy S2 the home (and power) bottons still work... even with No Touch active, ofc. Otherwise no problems on my device, also on 2.3.4 ^^.
Also, I absolutly need a popup window on trying to unblock, for inputing a code to unlock, optionaly and maybe only on the payed for version . It is way too easy for my 2 and 4 year olds to unlock otherwise.
Also, I agree, change the color on button when unlocking/locking No Touch.
I would like to be able to choose which tiles on the homescreen to lock. That would be just perfect.
Just tried it and it works nice. I just have one question before I upgrade. If I block the hardware buttons will I skill be able to unlock using a long press of the search key?
is there any chance to make this app lock the screen with long press home button? that would be universal for all android phones. no camera button in my s2. and also so the phone will not respond to any other buttons (ie power button)

+1
Swyped from HD2 on Dorimanx
+1 for the long press home button to unlock idea! I guess my kids wouldn't figure that out too fast (Instead of "a popup window on trying to unblock")
Okay so im having a little project to get rid of using power button, cuz mine is really "soft" and i believe someday it will stop responding...
Im currently using few apps&tricks:
Turning off screen:
Screen Off & Lock
Turning on the screen:
Volume key wake
or as in most roms now, its enable-able in settings/tweaks
Rebooting, entering recovery or bootloader:
Quick Boot (Reboot)
And recovery:
4EXT Recovery Touch
Im currently running cm7mod rom and i am trying to find a code or good replacement to open "cm7 power button menu or advanced boot menu" if its called that, to open from shortcut or different key then long press power button. And another one for now is taking a screen shot from different combo then "power button+home" I know there is some apps to take screenshots but i would prefer to edit some files myself to make it happen.
Hope this helps somebody with same issues and maybe someone can give me some pointers!
PEACE
Thanks for the tips.
I'm sure this will come in handy for people who're wearing out their power button (like me!!)

Hey, thanks for that video. Makes for an interesting party trick!!
But the problem with this is phone unlocking inside your pocket, and secondly, continuous polling of the proximity sensor is going to gobble your battery up pretty fast. But i'll have to try it out for atleast a day to support that theory.
Thanks for the info anyway.
Did anyone try to use warranty because of the power button? mine is going softer every week...

You won't be able to simply edit stuff to make it work on other roms, but Reaper will have it.

I've always used Screen off apps on all my devices !
Even since the days of WinMo there was such app
One of the first apps I install on my phone when I load a New ROM is screen off and lock
I don't need the volume wake though - that would just wear out the volume buttons when I already use it for music control

How did the problem occur in the first place? did you drop the phone? is the screen cracked/clean, did you press on the buttons too hard, did you have any water damage etc, there might be some fix for this.
^^ maybe a recalibration might work, but I have no idea how to do it on 9003. VolUp+Power button takes me to calibration menu on my spice mi-280.
I've been reading about these capacitive buttons being a huge battery drain for ICS roms for some time. Lot of people have been posting (in other forums) on ways to disable these keys to improve battery life. I might do it myself later on to see if it helps my battery life.

no any water damage.
dont know how it happens..
but when it occurs first time the capacitive keys are disabled automatically..
after that i used button savior app and der is no any problm..
but after couple of weeks those capacitive buttons started working again nd problem of self activation also started...
hence i m now trying to cmpletly disable those capacitive buttuns..
i tried zip of nexus s galaxy s3 & galaxy s2 but didnt workd for my phone..
m tired now...
thanx for giving attention.
After reading a bit into this, I suggest something that might work.
Again emphasizing that try it at your own risk.
Go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and find file sec_touchscreen.kl.
Make a copy of this file as a backup.
Open this file as a text file in any text editor.
You'd see something like
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
Edit it by adding a "#" symbol in front of both lines
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
This is similar to what is suggested for sgsII.
See if you wanna try it out.
Also, note, this will only disable those keys, not the key lights. We can work on that once this one is done.
Hope this works *fingers crossed*

Not able to touch on the screen? I didn't understand this problem?
I had the same problem, disansamble the phone, take apaprt the touchscreen with the display from the chassis(verry gentle, you will risk to separe the glass of the lcd from it's back wich can remain stick to the chassis, a good sollution is to heat a little the touch before doing the separation) and with a cutter cut about 1mm from the signal traces for those buttons, the signal traces are imprimed on to a palstic foil wich is sticked to the touch.
That's the way i solved the problem. Good Luck.

How about you flash a clean CM9? I'm guessing that you have an app that's interfering since you tried to fix your problem and plugging in the USB cable turns off that app.

The hugest reason for enabling soft keys are for iphone people. We are extremely used to having "safe" areas to grab a phone, esp in landscape. I have used an android phone for six months and I don't know where to grab the thing in landscape. I'm always accidentally touching the home or back button and going between apps, it's annoying. And it really hampers usability. This is something that I can't get used to. I definitely think Apple is right to have a hardware old-fashioned home button, or at least some bezel space. This is why I want the soft keys patch for the One XL.

decompile framework-res.apk for the ROM you are using.
I think softkey enabling is in bools.xml.. if not search through strings, arrays, or public.xml
When you find it and change it, recompile and push it to /system/framework

TUTORIAL: How to Turn Off the Hardware Keys - Function, Lights and Vibration
This will work for any AOSP ROM.
1) I used AOKP 4.2.1, you can disable your hardware keys(sort of) editing 2 files in you system/usr/keylayout folder: keypad_8960.kl & synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
Edit these entries in both files, you must open then as a text file and be using a root explorer.
Set key 102, 139, 158, 217 to FOCUS, this will make them do nothing when you are in every app except in camera, when they make it focus.
Save each file after editing and reboot.
2) To turn off vibration go to settings/sound and turn off vibrate on touch.
3) To turn off other hardware key backlights use: AdjBrightness
In AdjBrightness turn off the buttons by pressing the button marked "buttons" under the light toggles. To lock then off so they dont come back on after locking and unlocking, press settings key in that app to bring up a menu, then press Option. Then, under buttons check the first one, "Lock off button lights".
That is it you are done. The only thing is you have it open AdjBrightness after a reboot so it can apply the settings.
