I'm not sure if this was asked already but, I was wondering If someone could fix the multi touch issues of the mytouch slide. It has the same exact problem as the nexus one/htc desire etc etc.
Problem -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzhUzq6bTPg&feature=player_embedded
The LG optimus one seems to have a work around for it and i was wondering if someone could bring that workaround to our phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ur9n9pQUAg
Same!!
Did you ever solve this problem. I'm having the same issue because I can't pull down the notification bar and also whenever I switch to another screen the notification bar comes down lol. But other have fixed this problems somehow with a kernel

I really wish i could solve it haha, and yea crazy stuff like that happens sometimes. Multitouch is definitely also a problem with 3d shooting games. I was actually hoping a dev try to fix this problem. If there is a fix/workaround for other phones, then its definitely possible on this phone.
Nothing you can do. It is the sensor in the phone. It was never meant for multi-touch

I'm not sure if you've clicked this link that was posted in the OP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ur9n9pQUAg, but it shows a clearpad2000 device with a mostly fixed multitouch axis. According to the OP in this thread, its done by inverting the inverted axis http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933686
I was checking out those links. Seems that those fixes are only half working.
It really is a hardware problem. They're just recompiling the kernels to clean it up so that it looks like it works properly, but even in the videos it's evident that there's some messing up. If I'm reading right, our phone probably has the same controller as the G1 and N1. And newer phones don't have the problem because they have better hardware.
Yes I realize this is a hardware problem and that this is not a complete fix, but its better than not having any kind of fix at all.

I had the same problem, was really annoying when playing multitouch games like PewPew because it would sense your fingers opposite of where they were and the axis locked during multitouch which makes fine movements impossible. The newer 4 and 5 point multitouch screens perform way better.

Finally with this Eris leak we can have a stable working 2.1 ROM on the Hero. But I'm terrefied to find that true multitouch does not work on the Hero. I've tried multitouch paint, pong multi touch, Multitouch Vis Test, Multitouch visualizer and they all fail miserably. You can twinch, but that's about it. If you try to cross axis'es with the two fingers the reading get stuck.
I hope this is a driver issue and not a hardware limitation of the Hero, but I suspect it's the latter
Perhaps this is why HTC has delayed the Hero update so many times, they franticaly try to find a fix for this issue.
It is a problem with the HTC sensors and is the same on all HTC phones with touch screens
It is not likely to be fixed ever.
This should be fixable, because it works fine on AOSP 2.1 roms, even on a Hero...
then how come it can't be fixed on the nexus one?
AH I missed that issue, dont know anything about that.
I was talking about the fact that multitouch doesnt seem to work in the current leaked build in Maps. This leads me to believe that they havent implemented the native 2.1 multitouch.
we were talking about the inherent problem with all htc multitouch devices, it works for pinch zoom ok but when you get the "touch axis" too close the phone becomes confused over where your actually touching the screen.
Maybe a hardware problem fixed on HTC Desire? Or HTC Market?
Its very unlikely to get fixed it is just how htc do things. They might change it for the furture but devices already out are stuck like it.
Motorola have it working fine though.

Is true dude.
I think Google underestimated the usefulness of multitouch. It makes the whole mobile phone experience much better. Keyboard works better, games can be more fun etc.
Apple: I'm suing you stealing our patented multitouch functionality.
HTC: No, we didn't. See? Our multitouch doesn't work.

Now Google maps 5 is out and rotation dosent work, I was wondering about it and remembered that a website had said a member of cyanogen had fixed the axis flipping on the nexus I don't know if this was true, any idea ???

I seem to also remember something about this...?
Jesus, Google says that his beloved N1 doesn't support it and you want a fix. Here+s a fix : sell the Desire and get a phone with the full multitouch capable panel.
A colleague of mine has a Desire with a rooted ROM (a Sense 2 one) and the rotation works.
So yes, there is a fix.
I hope that HTC will officially release a (Sense 2) upgrade for the Desire, and that will contain the fix, I don't feel like rooting.
O rly.
FYI Sense 2 is the version that shipped with Desire. If you mean the newer Sense, that's on the Desire HD, that's Sense 3.
Which ROM is that again ? And please let him install http://www.appbrain.com/app/multitouch-visualizer-2/org.metalev.multitouch.visualizer2 and make a vid of the "fix".

Maybe Google maps thinks the phone supports multitouch as its a dhd rom and activates the option to use rotate. Rotate should still work...but because of the dual touch 'bug' it will get it wrong some of the time.
Yeah, I remember reading about a fix included in the core, but it was disabled. How would I enable it?
Can't we get the apk which is getting installed on the DHD?
I've read about this after some issues with Nova, which I guess is why it isn't supported anyway. The screen itself is not multi-touch and is apparently dubbed "double-touch" and the axis switching is hardware related, however there is a setting buried somewhere in the Android SDK that was designed to only be enabled for a certain device. Enabling it on the Desire, however, was supposed to alleviate some of the issues with axis-switching, although not a total fix. It was mentioned that CM had this setting enabled on their ROMs for Desire, but whether that is still the case I cannot say. This is just from memory, I'll have to do a bit more digging to refresh my memory.
EDIT: Asked around on the CM IRC and that particular 'feature' was indeed pulled, however was reinstated a few days ago, so probably only on the nightlies for the moment.
EDIT 2: Flashed a CM nightly and it doesn't appear to have made matters any better
Yes the multitouch is indeed enabled in maps on dhd roms, but the problem is not fixed. You can easily see, when your cross the axis with your fingers, and it definately still doesn't work well.
Yes, this issue is very irritating when playing games like SliceIt as well.
The touchscreen hardware is only capable of determining the rectanlge containing the 2 touched points.
If the desire screen is capable of detecting two fingers as long as they don't cross on the y and x axis, two finger rotation should be more than possible on google maps just as long as you keep the rotation no larger that 90 degrees between the y and x axis and even then it should only cause a "hickup" in the rotation so although it won't be great, if active, it should be ok for use!
The two touches is not what bothers me it is the axis flipping that's annoying I will try to flash a nightly and will see what happens.

There's a nexus one two finger fix. Don't know of adesire port of it.
In nexus one development section.
Desire is the source of all suffering.
Has anyone found a fix for multitouch on the desire yet?
i found a link(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767654&page=4) to another post on fixing multitouch on an acer liquid sharing drivers for developers, so can people please take a look and see if something can be done for the desire?
thanks in advance
Have you read the lasts posts in the thread you quote ?
I personally experienced this kind of issue on multi touch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MLUmJL_Px0
Does anyone know if this can ever be fixed or would this be a permanent hardware (it says here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791209 )issue on the Desire?
You pretty much just answered your own question in the last part?
It's a hardware issue so it will of course not be fixed by software

oh well, i was just , maybe, hoping..
thanks anyways!
Supposably they would help me look into it but meh... I just feel like screwing their customer service
Its due to the "Pinch to Zoom" technology that this bug persists. I've read somewhere that HTC Desire, doesn't have multi-touch only 2finger touch ( or something like that ). So you cant adress this, probably someone will fix the impossible like always happens and get a neat solution to this but don't expect it anytime soon. Because if im not wrong fixing this will take out the pinch to zoom feature from our desires.
And for the people who says its impossible, if was impossible to put wm 6.1 on QTEKS200 and someone did it

What's funny about that?
The DHD has different hardware(not the Clearpad 2000 of the desire, obviously) It's not failing anything since there was never any official "multitouch" feature - just "pinch to zoom"..
The dudes multitouch in the video aint that bad compared to mine anyway there is a fix for axis flipping somewhere dump where thou

There is a fix for Acer liquid - maybe this would also be a solution for our Desire if some talented Devs look at it? It has the same problems as our Desire but i don't know if it has the same multitouch hardware...?
The man's trying hard.
Gotta give him credits for that.
But I don't think he can fix it just by software ):
Probably reduce it to the minimal ):
Every little improvement is better than what we have now...
I personally would be glad to don't have this axis swapping even if there is a little jump in it. Google maps for example is not useable for now - why didn't they include a single touch solution for devices without multitouch as they have done in earth???

I posted at cyanogenmod.com with no responses... I have cyanogenmod 7 installed on my incredible 2.
I noticed in google maps that the blue triangle wasn't facing the correct way. I then opened google sky map, and the sky goes the wrong way when I move the phone. ie. when i pan across the sky to the left, the stars on the screen go left (instead of going right, appearing to be in the same place in the sky)
Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a way to calibrate it? or is this a bug with cm7?

Does this screw up Navigation as well? I imagine it would. Been wanting to try CM7 on my inc2. I can deal with arrows pointing the wrong way or sky map not working right, but I use navigation way too much for work travel.

No, navigation works just fine. It will work while you are moving, but once you're stationary people have reported the compass being backwards. I personally have used navigation on CM7 many times without a hitch.

I believe it does screw up nav... IIRC, someone was saying that on another forum. I haven't seen the issue on any of the Sense ROMs though, so try out one of those.

I used the nav earlier it works while driving. The only time it messed up is when I stopped at a gas station for a few minutes. As soon as I started moving again, it corrected itself.
But why is it backwards? Only aosp roms ..

I have used cm7 since i rooted my phone and never had an issue with navigation being wrong. yes the compass is backwards when stationary but i never use directions or navigation when im standing still.
Navigation works correctly. It's just when you're not moving, the blue triangle is facing the wrong direction.
The bigger issue is google sky map not working...

My problem is i am experiencing touch breaks, if i were to swap between pages i am experiencing some weird problem.
I downloaded a drawing app to test it, and if i try to draw a line without lifting my finger i notice that the line breaks.
Any workaround?

Unfortunately this is an issue with the A100, some have the issue others don't(mine does). It seems to be a grounding issue or that is what the general consensus is.
No way to really fix it, if you have a cover taking it off may help, and trying different ways of holding it may help as well.
Yeah. Mine has it too. Using with no case and holding it with 2 hands makes it better. Also using it while plugged in stops it too. Those are the only workarounds I know of.
thanks this made it clear, was think i need to overclock it, but seems more like a manufacturing issue.
i have maxed out my thanks, will thank both of you in the morning.
