Calibrating Screen on CyanogenMod 7 - Desire General

Hi,
I flashed my Desire with the Cyanogenmod 7 and was wondering, where I can calibrate the screen. When using the orignal rom, there was an option to do so. Now the screen does not really respond the way I like, especially when using the keyboard.
Thanks

No clue? Can't imagine there is no solution.

You mean when it asks you to type something on the keyboard? I haven't seen that in ages... maybe its only on sense roms.

if you have the htc ime_mod you can calibrate that under the keyboard options.
just hit the options key in any input field and it will take you to the options.
then, calibrate should be under text input

Am I right in thinking this calibrates the keyboard and not the screen then?

Right. I actually ment calibrating the keyboard. This might be only on sense roms. That was my first guess too

[Q] Switch keyboard types easily?

I'm sure there used to be an easy way to change the keyboard type on the DHD, without having to go into Settings ie switching between QWERTY/Phone Pad/Compact.... I can't remember where this was.
Anybody know?
Hold down any text input box whilst selected, press input method and then choose your keyboard. Note that only the keyboards you have enabled in settings will appear.

When I hold down a text input box I just get the paste option... unless I'm misunderstanding...?
Thanks.

Do you have other keyboards installed AND enabled in Settings > Language & keyboard ?
Well, I've got the three standard HTC keyboards listed there... I don't see where one enables them as such, just a radio button to select the one you want to use.

Oh, I mis read your post. As already said before, it's that hard to change on Android.
The workaround is to install an additional input method; I installed Swype. So I have qwerty on Swype and switch to phone-keypad on the default keyboard.

Motorola bluetooth keyboard keeps disconnecting

While using the keyboard yesterday, I'd find it would very frequently disconnect from the Xoom, and didn't seem to auto reconnect when I pressed buttons. Every time I'd have to turn off the keyboard and turn it back on to reestablish the link. Anyone else having this issue?
Using tiamat 2.2 moray if that makes a difference.
Not seen the lights flash in a way that would indicate low battery either so don't think it's that.

I would still replace the batteries just to see if it makes a difference.
everyone has this issue, it's just the way either our tablet or the keyboard "works".
I don't count having to turn off and on the keyboard on a regular (sometimes multiple times in a few minutes) period as "working"
Will try some new batteries at some point, though as I said its not given the battery flashing combination of lights yet.

check out xoomforums.com. It's a known issue. Live with it or try the logitech keyboard.
Known issue but no fix? That's a shame. And given I got the keyboard and mouse free I'm loathe to spend out on something ;-)

Likely you an app that's frequently changing system settings. In my case it was the HDWidgets weather widget. I killed the widget and problem went away. Using 1W for weather instead.

[Q] keyboard Dictionary

I just wondered is there any way of viewing the words the phone has saved as I've been typing as I have noticed a few times I've saved ones I didn't mean too. I would like to remove these from the dictionary if its possible?
This might help. This is in Sense 3.6, and is possibly similar in 4.0. Won't hurt to try anyway. Go to Settings-Language & Keyboard-and select the 3 line button in the right side next to Touch Input. It will be at the very bottom

Thanks; I will try this on my replacement when it arrives later today and hopefully it will be the same for Sense 4.0
It's settings, language and keyboard, HTC sense input, personal dictionary and then edit personal dictionary.

How to force landscape homescreen?

Searched the forum and found no answers! It happened the other day - my homescreen turns landscape - but I can't get it to happen again. Any ideas?! Also, anyone find that this XDA Premium HD app FCs a lot?

Hi!
landscape mode works only in some apps. You will not get landscape mode in homescreens, unless you have a custom ROM installed and have LeeDroid Tweaks.
Greetings
Putti
But it actually happened yesterday! I had landscape homescreen with all icons positioned on right of the screen and widgets resized accordingly...
[EDIT] I am running custom ROM Android Revolution HD

Hello, i have a non-rooted phone and also got it a copple of times.
On the home screen i suddenly had a landscape screen.
Once turned back to portrait, it did not go back to landscape again.
After searching i found a forum message about an app called 'Rotate'.
this app can force autorotate, so the landscape also works on the homepage.
1 problem, you can try it some time and then you have to pay for it (only $1.99)

If your using apex launcher you can go into advanced settings and pick auto rotate or landscape only, if your using stock sense then I havn't got a clue

HTC Sense doesn't allow the homescreens to rotate at will, generally the home screens are locked into portrait viewing.
I have seen screen shots of the phone homescreen in landscape, I think it's just a glitch... as you said, it's reverted back now and won't do it again.
Unless forced with an app etc...

HTC Sense doesn't allow the homescreens to rotate at will, you have to edit the rosie.apk to get it to work as you've already said.
So it doesn't work as standard.
I have a car dock for my One X, and when it sits in the car dock it is also possible to see the homescreen(s) in landscape mode.
Here is an example:

So it is possible and I find it strange that HTC doesn't allow it when using the device normally.

This app works but...
Hey...even i was searching for some app or mod through which i can get my homescreen in landscape mode while the phone rests in my "new KiDiGi desktop charger" :silly:
So i came across the apps mentioned above.... "Rotation Locker" and "Ultimate Rotation Control"
Rotation locker was a free app but it did not work fully...like the lock screen used to be in portrait only...and the app sometimes flickered between portrait and landscape mode...so i uninstalled it....
Ultimate Rotation Control is amazing...it works perfectly for me...the only issue that it is a 7-day trial after which i would be asked to pay $2 (almost Rs.110 here in India)...
i would not mind paying money to the developer...but since i have a rooted phone with Android Revolution HD 9.4.1 ROM, i was just thinking is there any custom tweek developed for this ROM which can help me get rid of these Third party apps for rotation control....
Does anyone know about any such tweak for rooted HTC One X??
I have another query...i want to know if there is any tweak/app through which i can get my screen to wake up when a new SMS/Whatsapp/mail comes?? basiacally to wake up the screen in case of any notification...
Thanks a lot in advance

Screen sensitivity/touch

Hi guys,
I've got a strange issue with my touch screen after updated to 4.2, sense 5, fully stock. My touch is too sensitive, and when i want to scroll down to see something or read any of the links, it in fact it clicks or open the link.
It is damn too sensitive, do you know if there is a way to adjust the sensivity of the screen?
I,m on stock 4.2 rooted, but even before I rooted it had same sensivity.
In the previus jb 4.1 I did nit had such sensivity.
Any help is appriciated.

Same issue here also. Extreme sensitivity which makes browsing and using the phone quite awkward.Things improved by unticking the 3 finger gestures in settings, but still pretty sensitive.

I see this kind of bug, because it is causing a lot of problems to work with phone.
