[Q] Unreachable area - touch screen cut off point? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I use LMT as I hide soft keys I noticed it's very difficult to activate the LMT piecontrol when in landscape mode.
This is the lowest I can go on my screen before the screen no longer registers any touch (and is most likely the reason why LMT piecontrol does not pop up when I keep trying).

Clearly shows there is a unreachable band which the phone does not register me touching.
Anyone else have this issue or have I got a defected device?

Anyone?

There is a well documented with multi-touch on original factory roms where parts of the screen would fail to detect when doing multi-touch. I believe this is fixed in 4.0.4. If you're willing, try flashing to 4.0.4 to see if the problem is fixed for you. Otherwise, I'd suggest exchanging.

This is not a multi touch issue. This is a simple single touch issue where the screen seems to 'end short'
Could some others test if they can reach the very bottom of the screen when the softkeys are hidden?

Seems to be working better now with AOKP B27. Still a bit of a hit and miss though, I think it may have something to do with the curvature of the screen or maybe my finger is deformed.

The weirdest multitouch bug example ever

So we're all aware of the multitouch bug, where the lower-right corner (in landscape) becomes unresponsive. It's clearly a software issue, but I found the strangest way to provoke it.

If I jump from barrel to barrel without touching the toxic ooze, multitouch continues to work just fine. If I fall in the toxic ooze, the bug appears. That is, I can't hit A or B while moving the joystick. I click the screen off and back on and it's fine, but if I fall in the ooze again, the bug reappears instantly. As long as I stay on the barrels, multitouch continues to work fine.
I tried it several times, playing with save states to make sure it wasn't just me. It holds true every single time. I even quit the emulator and re-opened it, and somehow, this weird little quirk in the game still affects the multitouch of the device.
PS: Yes, I've gotten this far through on-screen controls. I just got to Click Clock Wood
turn the screen off and back on, it will be gone.

[App][TouchScreen Booster] improve sensitivity

Thought some of you guys might find this useful, it can improve touch screen and scrolling sensitivity.
I have tested this in modpunk's cm9 alpha5, and it does improve the scrolling speed a fair bit in my case.
Its a free unlimited version, with an option to donate if you found it useful.
Try it out and post your results.
Enjoy.

Its not just for Samsung at all, did you read any play store comments or actually try it?
Didn't think so!
Scrolling speed in cm9 is not as nice as in cm7 or sense, this helped make it nicer, if your on a long web page, try flinging the page from top to bottom and you'll see it won't keep scrolling like it does in other roms.
Cm9 on my wifey's galaxy fit scrolls so fast can swipe pages top to bottom super quick.
This won't do much good in any rom other cm9 all other rooms scrolling are fine.
Did you really think I would post a link to something incompatible with our phone
I'm using CM9 and i have the same issue as you, but this app doesn't work for me. IMHO it's only a placebo effect for you.

How to use selection arrows at the edges of the screen

Also, how do you stop Android from ending the selection for you when you haven't finishes making toilet selection? Is there a trick like wiggling your finger twice to the left there times to the right to get the arrow to make it to the edge of the line at the end of the screen? Is there a 3rd party app to substitute this crap built into Android? It's not very finger friendly. What do you guys do? Thanks

Anyone sled use the Android tapatalk app for this forum? If so, have you found you cannot click on and edit/modify your post anymore? Or is it just my phone? Like my last post is empty. I wanted to either add something to it or delete it. Is there anything that works or are we just a bunch of impatient satisfaction hungry slurs that demand solutions to desired right now before you have time to make something properly functional? Excuse me. I don't know how many times I day working on my computer/phone I run into some design flaw in some program that slows me down. I would ha e just stick working with the mobile browsers had I known how crappy these forum apps would be. Hey look all cute and thumb ready with their widgets on your screen but really suck.

You try typing that and then selecting the first letter, but no cheating, select "select word" not "select all"

[Q] ICS Buttons For Note 2

The note 2 is awesome.. ok with that said, do you guys know of a program that will give me ics buttons? I could defintely use a back button thats right by my thumb. Those software buttons would be very handy. Im talkin gabout just the ics back home, multitask buttons Thanks
ps. also as a gs1 user, im used to softly pressing the home, which I tend to do on my note 2 thinking it's software lol. i actually prefer light touches but appreciate the hw button as well
I tried a popular button software from the app store but it was pixelated. (dont remembe rthe name but it was the most popular one with where you pull the ics menu from the left or right side of the screen.) id even pay for it if someone made one thats super clean just like the real thing.

[Q] Touch Screen Responsiveness

Hi, I bought my nexus 7 in 2013, it had Kitkat 4.4.4 for most of its time, I never rooted it.
However about three months back I noticed a strange thing that I could only pull down the notification bar from the very left and right ends of the screen.
Since I was a bit skeptical I did installed a touch screen test app named "Yet Another MultiTouch Test" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.yamtt and tested the screen responsiveness, then I found out that a slight strip on the top edge of the tough screen had become unresponsive rest of the screen was fully responsive. For the clear visualization please refer to the following illustration as I didn't took a screen shot at that time.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I didn't consider it as a big issue as it didn't get in the way of using the device.
Eventually I updated to android lollipop and the touch screen issue still existed as same as when the device was on kitkat 4.4.4, but from last couple of weeks my touch screen issue seem to increase over time not full vertical strip has gone unresponsive to touch.
After going through many threads I even took the back cover off and check if the touch screen connectors are intact. The only thing I didn't try was software mods as I doubt that would help me because used this for almost a year without any issue.
I never dropped the device the screen shows no damage or whats so ever.
So I shall be much be thankful if anybody could help me find where the defect is.
