Hey guys!
I am having some trouble with my artemis.
It was working properly and after i sent a text message it blocked the touch fuction of screen..
the message was send properly and and I realised this after 5 minutes.
I can't "touch" the screen but i can use it with the mouse, controlled by the trackball. But sometimes I can use it but the point where I touch is a bit far from the function that response.
Anyone knows what could this be?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get this working on our beloved HD's? I hate the way the screen goes completely black during a call, we can't use the light sensor to tell the phone that the call has finished and it is away from your ear (so screen comes back on a la iphone), and i keep doing things during a call with my ear!!
So this seems like the ideal solution - but i can't get it to work!!
I've copied over the file to the windows folder, then soft reset. Changed the registry entry for phoneLockEnable to 1 in HKLM/Software/HTC/Phone but still no joy!
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
DF

Beside this transparent canvas, where can I get the orginal canvas?
I am using a offical ROM but I don't see this function!

that's interesting, because my screen doesn't go blank during calls and it happens quite often that i accidently disconnect a call (i suppose because i hit a button with my ear).
so in search for i solution i found in Advanced config a tab Light sensor > Light sensor polling which i set enabled. the explanation says "uses light sensor to automatically turn screen off when the phone come near from your ear to answer a call". so this should set it like the i-phone does, right?
hence when i tested it, the screen still was on, even when i put my thumb onto the light-sensor.
is this because i don't have a stock rom (i use Duttys HD V1.9b XTREME) or is there something i can do about it.
it would be really nice to have the screen locked when i answer a call and to outomatically unlock it if i remove it from my head to use some function on the screen..

Hi take55,
Yes, i'm aware of the advanced config tweak (also in HD Tweak), and as you correctly state, the screen should/will go blank on call connection (i'm running kwbr's A Touch Of HD 3.3.4 and mine doesn't, even with tweak applied!!).
Unfortunately, when the call ends and you move the phone away from your ear, the screen still stays blank????? I've read somewhere on these forums that it never will work like the iphone (not sure why, as the light sensor should recognise that we've moved the phone away from our ears).
So that is why i'm trying to get this other method to work. What i have noticed is that with the bmp copied over to the windows folder or with a cab i found by A-Math installed, my dialler locks up after every call (as if the transparent phone lock is in place) but i can't actually see it. None of the screen works and i have to soft reset. Maybe something is stopping the bmp to show on the phone....who knows.
It also might be the fact that this was designed for the Diamond (found the cab on the Diamond forums).
Just hoping some genius here might now how to sort this.
I've attached the cab file i've found, give it a try and see if you have the same issue as me.
Regards
DF

It has nothing to do with the BMPs but with the registry setting that the CAB also makes. It sets HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\PhoneLockEnable to 1, in wich case you'll have to press the power button to unock (no need to soft reset). For the BMP to work the phone/dialer software will have to support it, otherwise it just locks the phone in the usual way: black screen, power button to unlock.

tks but your cab only for the canvas skin only, do not contain the original software (slidable canvas), anyway, tks for your help
I've also found this problem to be quite annoying during a phone call but have found some sort of way to deal with it.
Firstly my ROM isn't tweaked, its just the basic one already installed.
After a call is connected, the screen switches off. But if you need to access the screen again during a call, I just press the "Back Arrow" key, one of the four hard buttons on the bottom which brings the screen back up again.
If you press the phone button instead whilst the screen is off, the screen lights up again but it puts the call on hold.
This probably isn't the best way to deal with this, but it seems to work for me for the time being, hope this helps anyone else here.

Useful info - I found this particularly annoying yesterday during a ouple of calls.
Also discovered Gyrator tries to turn the phone screen and was laggy - which was even more annoying!
Everyone!!!
CHECK THIS OUT - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489034
Answer to all our prayers - a screen lock which uses the g-sensor and not the light sensor.
Now, when a call is connected, holding the phone to the ear blacks the screen, but when you bring the phone down (to use the keypad or something), THE SCREEN COMES BACK ON!!!!!!!
Tried and tested on kwbr's A Touch Of HD v3.3.4 (probably the best manila2 ROM out there!)

Ciao!
I have problems wih my BA: backlight sometimes it disappears, sometimes reappears.
All the rest works nearly (…).
Someone knows if it can be an breakdown of the screen, and therefore I must change it, or if it can be an other type of breakdown, even some cable?
I do not know in fact if it is convenient to repair it, if the screen is out of order. Thanks, to you and Babelfish!
;-)
The touchscreen is OK!
Anybody knows if theres any app/widget that can quickly lock/off the screen just by one touch? I know you can always press the hard key on the right side but a quick tap on the screen would be beautiful. Theres quicklock for iphone hope theres one for SGS. Sorry if i missed anywhere. Thanks

try http://www.appbrain.com/app/app.lockenabler
That was superquick. Thanks. I saw it in the market but from the screenshot I thought it is doing something else. Although not locking immediately, but hey, its free and thanks again.
yeah.. it doesnt happen immediately.. its some android security restriction.. i was using that widget for sometime until it started acting up.. my screen used to turn off every 3 seconds even when i was using it normally.. but its working for some ppl just fine..

AutoRotate Switch (On/Off)
Screen off by konreu is really good but it is not free. I've tried lock enabler but it has an irritating habit of randomly setting my screen timeout to 3s.
My touch screen won't respond to touch or the stylist. This just happened but I am beginning to see some bleed on the screen so I know it's a hardware issue.
Got a new one coming to replace it but here's my problem. My settings are set to automatically lock the screen after a period of time for security reasons and to help prevent pocket calls! Does anyone know a work around with the keyboard to unlock the screen?
Most of the software I loaded is on my PC but whenever I rebuild a phone it's always good to look at what is in the thing via "remove program" option. Needless to say, I can't get there without unlocking the screen.
I tried my magic wand and threatened the phone by telling it I was going to replace it with an iPhone but so far... nothing works.
Thanks,
Rick
The lockscreens are based on touch input. The only option I know of to recover your data is to replace the digitizer.
AFAIK, doing that on Windows Mobile 6.5 Stock is completely impossible. If you can get past the slider screen, you can use the numbers on your TP2 keypad and press enter. But I'm running 6.1 (makes me feel better being used to ye olde Pocket PCs), so I can't verify anything.
Hello everyone! I'm new there and I need some help or orientation please.
Sorry for my weird English, is not my first language! I hope you can understand me
I bought a new Samsung Galaxy s4 mini Duos Latinoamerican version GT-i9192. one month ago, the pone works great and I'm testing all at 100%..First impressions are the battery life is not big. but that's not the problem there.
the first problems I have its a kind of ghost touches, let me explain what happens.
sometimes when I'm writing I press the "Y" letter and the phone shows that I pressed the "Z" for example., both are letters that are too far between they and I dunno why that happens! that don't happen all time and not a lot but sometimes happen! another thing I discovered is if I put one drop of watter on the screen and I touch on the drop the phone shows a continuous touch on the drop of watter, don't matter if I'm not touching the screen at all, keep the touch on the drop til the drop dissapears, is that normal? I tested a drop of water on another phones and nothing happens when I touch the Drop the phone reactions are normal just touch on the place when I touch and stop touching when I'm not touching.
the first thing is this. this only happens 2 times on this first month that I have with the phone.
the touchscreen touchs alone! I'm using the phone, normal, the screen don't have watter and nothing weird just fingers marks on the screen protector, and the screen touch on a specific point alone, and don't stop touching, if I clear the area, turn off/on the screen still touching alone! the first time that this happens its solved alone just turned on /off the screen and stop the touch, the second time don't stop, don't matter if I clear the area or turn off /on the screen. the second time I solved restarting the phone and works normal again.
someone have some interesting for say about that? I dunno if that are normal or not.. I thinking to do a factory reset maybe would help? I never restored or flashed nothing, this my stock rom!
I hope someone can help me, thanks!

Maybe my answer won't help you much but sometimes I have this too (maybe 5-6 times over the last 6 months) - restarting the phone solves the issue.
What you can do is to activate "Show touches" and "show pointer location" in the developer options to see what really happens on the screen. You can activate the developers options by tapping several times on "Build Number" in "Settings -> About Device"

It seems your touch panel is either faulty or requires re-calibration. You probably need to visit the service centre or try their hotline.

Oh, you can try on your phone using a drop of water on the screen and the option to show the touch points active, and say if the screen touch alone. just put one drop off water and move your fingers over the drop, the ghost touch will appear, can u? thanks a lot!

No touch points are shown unless I dip my finger into the water drop. The water wraps round my finger and forms a part of my fingertip.
You could always check the touch sensors and the touch screen version. And you could look into seeing if there is a new version of the touch screen. Type these codes into the dialer to check.

For the general test menu (including touchscreen panel), the codes should be *＃7353＃ or *#0*#
The codes are not universal across all Samsung devices.
Oh, I thought those codes were for any Samsung device.
