Touchscreen problem: not function at the right edge of the screen - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Hi Mods and Friends,
I'm from Vietnam. I had bought a Verizon HTC Incredible 2 from my friend (he said that he brought from USA and also unlocked by code for global calling).
My Incredible 2 is in GB 2.3.3 (build No. is 2.18.605.4) with radio version is 1.09.01.0622.
After someday in properly working, few days ago, its touchscreen seem not function with the right edge of the screen (the width of that zone is about 0.5 cm from the right edge). Sothat I could not type the "p" character, difficult type the "backspace", "enter" keys from the virtual keyboard and for example: could not touch the "search" icon in Android market..., and so on.
I aslo tried to update my Incredible 2 to another rom (from XDA) but noluck.
Could you please kindly give me advices to sovle my smartphone problem.
Thank you very much.

wow.. I have never had an issue finding that rom on tha htc site...
Finally installed this rom last week after so long using 6.0 with really no issues (oct 2008) I have had a lot of problems since.. (i sware bell releaced this to cripple tha touch) Main two problems: One: camera will Not work (it did work afew times and i noticed improvments 1: works a lot better in low lighting in doors, 2: now allso you can zoom) But now it will Not open.. i can get it to open via camera album but opens in half tha screen and cannot use any options...
Two: htc home customizer does not install - rather hermes 2.1 cab anyway (to enable 6 tabs instead of 4) freezes my phone and im forced to hard reset (6 time with in tha first 24hours)
have others but those are my main issues.. anyone else? or anyone got fix's or answers?
I know i should have flashed a custom rom, after this but didnt want to brick my phone & returned my computer with in a week.. may be awhile before I get another...
Thanks XDA

I have not used HHC in forever... but it shouldn't have that kind of behavior. And yes, you should flash to a custom rom if you want to get the best out of your Touch.

Nexus One (Speak2Text) feature in Desire???

Hi
Just wondering if Desire will have same Nexus One (Speak-2-enter-text in text msgs & Google Maps etc) feature on it, plus all other cool features in N1 (as I don't own N1, nor I have used any Android phone yet so don't know if these features are in Android build or only for N1).
Can we also start a poll to take member's opinion which phone they think is better between HTC Desire & Nexus One...
Thanks
K7
None of the features are N1 only they're just features of Android 2.1 which is what the Desire runs on
According to cnet, the voice to text function is not there (out of the box)
guess it wouldn't be long before someone makes it happen
is an internet connection required for the speech2text function?
You could just install the stock android keyboard to the device to use it.
Although HTC's is incredibly accurate and seems to be able to predict exactly what you want no matter how ****ed up you mish mash at the keys
So while HTC Desire's Sense Keyboard does not support Voice to Text, the user can (without modding) switch to Android Keyboard and enjoy speech to text? Please can you confirm that? I was about to un-desire Desire because I so much expect to use S2T for posting online.

Assuming you can install the android keyboard without root, yes. One can install other keyboards without root (swype for example) so i don't see why the stock android keyboard would be any different.
There is something else to keep in mind. Just because you might be able to install the keyboard, the actual underlying support may have been removed. I don't have the desire rom installed on my nexus anymore or I would check to see if speech to text abilities were even there.

Speech to text has been there since 1.6 though, for google search and translate.
There is absolutely no reason at all why HTC would remove this they just haven't included it in their keyboard.
This means that the ability to get Speech to Text is already there embeded in the phone, you just need a keyboard with the "Speech to Text" button to make use of it in messaging.
As I m spending well few hours everyday 2 decide about which one
I should get Desire r N1... It's so tough 2 decide 1 of these 2 devices
as I like few things in N1 & few in Desire........ Text 2 Speech is
some thing I don't wan2 compromise on (I've read some where
that T2S is not very accurate at the moment but I m still so
fascinated by it), so if there is no such function available in
Desire....then I will go 4 N1.

If this functionality isn't present in the Desire upon release am I correct in assuming that someone will release a ROM where this is possible?
and also if its true that its just the keyboard that needs replacing is that something you need root to do? or can you just install a new keyboard? (Bit of a noob here)

You don't need to be rooted to install a new keyboard.

If that was directed at me...I know you don't need to be rooted to install a new keyboard. I learned that when I had my MyTouch and installed the HTC_IME keyboard from Cyanogen.
If it wasn't...my bad

2 b honest haven't checked it yet properly... Been busy at work. Plus it's my 1st Android experience, so I have quite few questions... Till now have only made few calls & used Google Maps which seems lot more better & smoother than WinMo.

Could everyone please keep thread on topic and stop posting off topic pics.
I would assume you have the Speech-to-Text feature on the Desire, as it was previously mentioned, it's an Android 2.1 feature, not a Nexus One exclusive feature. You also don't need to install any other keyboards, as the Desire Sense keyboard has the key already, as seen at 3:12 in the following video:

HTC Keyboard on my XDAndroid TP2?? Can't get it to work.

Trying to get the HTC keyboard for my phone cuz let's face it, the android keyboard sucks. I've been following this thread over on the XDA Nexus One thread and have followed it exactly installing both APK's. Each time when i long click and select Touch Input, no keyboard shows up on the screen.
I'm not exactly sure why it won't work since i have installed several other keyboards over the past.
If anyone knows how to get this working, or is experiencing a similar issue please let me know.
Bump
Seriously? Nobody. The android keyboard sucks haha and my swype expired.
lol dude, not clue why it doesnt work, i tried downloading the v20 apk from the N1 forums, it installs but when you switch input methods it doesnt show up so stuck in same boat

working keyboard for android tilt 2
first you have to go to the xdandroid startup icon and make sure the model is on tilt 2 mode, then boot. just like using the regular keyboard. able to use fn key to enter numbers not like when they are all at the top.

Is there a ROM that the REAL keyboard actually works??????

I have flashed so many ROMs and none have actually had a complete working keyboard? thanx
I had the same issues until I tried the energy roms. Working flawlessly with my tilt 2

There is no excuse for that kind of language guys, I know the flaming posts can get annoying but next time report the post and let us mods handle the situation. Lets stay on topic and help one another or thread will be closed and further action will be taken.

So...now that that's been cleared up: In case you haven't found it already, the TMoUS Keyboard Fix is what you need to apply to almost any custom rom here as they're mostly-all based on world-wide English releases so not natively the same layout as T-Mo or ATT etc. versions....something like that.

Thanx guys, now that's community!!!
have you tried any of the ROMs over on ppcgeeks.com?
most of those guys are usa based and could probably help.
To be honest, I've tried 10s of different ROMs so far and none of them actually had a problem with the keyboard of my TP2 T7373, its an unlocked EU release by the way.
Which model/version or release do you use?
I have a T-Mobile US TP2, the issue I'm talking about is punctuation on the physical keyboard not working, and the keyboard cab didn't help by the way Is anyone else having this prob? thanx

If by "punctuation" you're referring to the upper-case punctuation (and other "yellow things") accessed by the Alt key, that (the Alt key) is how the T-Mo USA keyboard fails with the WWE roms and the problem that the XDA Rhodium T-Mobile Keyboard Fix.cab is supposed to fix.
But you applied that fix -- copied the .cab to your phone and then opened/ran it and it didn't work -- the Alt key still doesn't work?
Don't mean to insult your intelligence, but did you do a soft-reset after running the .cab? That's necessary.
What custom rom are you running?
This is usually a trivial fix -- one that always works, AFAIK. If it's not working for you...maybe there're some suggestions on the TMOUS Keyboard Fix thread. Good luck.

HTC Desire JB by Vijendrah - Track Pad problem

Hi,
I do not have the access to post in that forum, so I want to just do a check here, does anyone have this similar problem.
ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441
Problem: Trackpad no longer works in latest v3.0
V3.0 is all and good, the OS I have been waiting for my desire (for 3 years I dare say) However, the track pad is not working. Anyone have this similar problem or is there something I don't know about that I should be doing.
Thanks!
Hi anybody with the above mentioned rom care to chime in? The ROM is great FYI I have been using it for months. Been thinking about getting another HTC desire to flash it to this rom for my mom.
I don't usually use the track pad, but just tested and it seems ok

Sorry was busy for a few days, forgot about this thread, yeah I always do full wipe, not sure what I did but unchecking custom actions and then reboot... suddenly the track pad works again. I tried to recreate the problem by checking the custom actions, couldn't reproduce it... maybe it's just my track pad being dirty after 3 years? dunno. Anyway it works again, thanks for taking time to notify me.
Also... the link to the new work... I think I cannot test alpha builds... I really need my phone. but I will donate again if I move to new version haha, his work is great!
p/s anyone kind enough to explain what is the main difference at least between this new work and existing one? I'm kind of a noob and the last time I tried to read a cyanogenmod nightly changelog I almost fainted. Incremental builds from VJ I can understand, the rest... are totally alien to me, even finding the CM changelog was a challenge!
Just FYI I decided to try out the install a2sd from terminal with the Y Y Y command, and then when I tried to revert it back to the Y N Y setting, all my settings/sms/data was gone. So caveat emptor... or maybe you guys already know this, I for one did not.
Anyway now it's my HOME button that has lost functionality, the trackpad is ok... bummer... I didn't know how much I used it until it was gone. Even the settings under System > Hardware keys > Enable Custom Actions did now show a Home Key button (just has a Home key (long press) option)
er... help? I have restarted a few times... doggone it. I want my home button back!

I reflashed the ROM everything works now, I guess I was lucky never hard this experience before. I guess next time I should have a nandroid back up.
For anyone that just want an idea of what's the difference VJ has posted it himself. Please find notes below ty.
For actual differences between 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 google yourself.
But the improvements from my CM10 v3.0 to CM10.1 v4.2.1 is that:
1. The games which was not able to play in either any of the Jelly Bean version is playing now and better than GB ROM's.
2. Notification lights works
3. FM Works
4. Much Smoother
5. Video play back is very good (No more flickering)
6. Improved HWA
and find out yourself....
What's not working yet?
Same as Evervolv 4.2.1 (We fixed Bluetooth, Notification lights before them)
for me trackpad works fine
