Since I have got this new Krussel Case for my HTC Touch HD, I dont want to use my stylus anymore.
I can manage a lot without, but there is one thing i really miss.
A finger friendly taskbar, with a bigger "X" to end programs.
Is there any solution?
Well you'll just have to wait for the new build to become stable and fast (23022 if I'm not mistaken) there you will have a OK button on the bottom of the screen and everything is finger friendly I tried it and must say was impressed with it I hope it's developed further Mirri has a ROM you can try it.

try searching for a program called Showcase...I forget who coded it (my bad), but it is a great task managing program and it will allow you to switch between programs or close a program and it is completely finger friendy.
That'll be this then:

Hi guys, ever since I updated my Desire with Froyo (OTA) I've experienced a "bug" in the "dual-touch" that the Desire has.
The problem is when you are dual-touching and hold the first finger absolute still and remove the second one, the touch of the second one stays on until you move the first finger.
Which isn't a big problem until you play a game where you have to hold one button and steer at the same time.
Link to a crappy video to show my problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eLYfHGeFnY
Now to my question, is it only me who is experiencing this kind of problem? Could this be fixed with a bakground app that checks the touch screen (when the second touch leaves the screen)?
/Oggeh
Same problem, i think is "normal" for the desire...isnt a multitouch screen..is an emulation and of course dont work properly..

the desire dosent have multi-touch, it has dual-touch, basically the way this works is, the desire's screen can only physically detect one finger touch, when you touch the screen with a second finger, although the desire can detect that a 2nd finger has touched the screen, it dosent know where that 2nd finger touch is, it then uses a mathematical algorithm using 3 points of reference, to work out where the 2nd finger is ..........

ok this is problematic in FPS games and games like meteor blitz
something i noticed though, on my previous amoled desire i had the official screen protector installed so i never noticed the problems in games
now on my new handset still unprotected, multi-touch games struggles a lot more
can anyone else confirm if their experience is better with the screen protector?

Even though I didn't notice this kind of bug before Froyo update? I mean, did someone experience this in 2.1?? Before Froyo it was possible to play games, emulators etc.
And yes I know that the Desire don't have the best touch sensor.

yes it happend with eclair, its because, imagine when u touch the screen with one finger, the screen detects it yeah? when u touch it with the second one the device see's it as one big finger touch, and then uses its reference point to work out where the 2 fingers are, now when u take one finger off again, because the first finger is still touching the screen it dosent realise because it cant phyically distinguish two fingers if you get what i mean lol

Motion is "ON"
Now what?
Long press the Motion section in settings. Once the Motion setting screen pops up, scroll to the bottom. Make sure Palm Swipe to capture is "On".

I could not get mine to work at all when I first turned it on. I held my had vertically and swiped back and forth with it close to the phone then a couple of times higher and higher and nothing happens.
KB112, I followed ur direction and did have the box checked.
I couldn't even get it to work when promoted to do so after the little tutorial.
Now what?
I really used this feature a lot.
i apologize for the shameless bump but this is driving me crazy
Found the answer and I feel like an idiot but this may help anyone else who has this issue. A guy named tdriscolljr76SIII on a sprint forum said this:
I had this same issue as the instructions do not explain it well. I then went to YouTube and saw a video of how this actually works. Take the side of you hand and smear it left to right or vice versa across the entire device as if it were a light squeegee. It will then make a blur across the screen like a photocopier and save to clip board.
For some reason I thought I didn't need to touch the screen. Don't know how that went wrong for me

Correct, as does pressing the button on your S-pen and holding it on the screen for a second or two.

I upgraded my phone and gallery app as well as routing and doing a clean wipe on my note 2.My screen capture hasn't worked for the past week.My problem was that when I did the clean wipe, it didn't restart with a "Screenshot" folder.After creating one, swept to capture works perfect again!My 2 cents.

This is my first time I have used an Optimus UI phone, so everyday I'm discovering cool new features that are actually pretty usefully. I thought it would be cool if we could share these findings. I'll start...
Quick remote will pop up on the lockscreen by tapping the home button. F#####G brilliant! I owned the HTC One and S4 they both have the IR blaster that allows the control over the TV. But no quick way to access it on the lock screen.
Ohhhhhhhh...thats why the quick remote shows up in my lock screen even tho i didnt set it to be there, i thought something is wrong with my lockscreen lol, didnt know that i just keep pressibng the home button lol, thanks!!

You can also set it to turn on once you get home and your phone connects to your WiFi.

You can take screenshots by holding Volume Down and Power at the same time for a couple of seconds. No need to use quickmemo for screenies.
I'm not sure if this is a new feature or old...
You can schedule a sms...

In the quick remote app, when you add a new device, try answering no to some of the questions even if the buttons work. I discovered different remote layouts that still are completely functional. You might discover extra buttons that aren't available on the first profile it finds for you.
Fwiw, this worked for me on my air conditioner

It didn't work on my10C version G Pro
Running the latest global beta 7.6.1 ROM just updated tonight... was same on 7.5.16 too
My Google pixel does not experience this.. It is really bad on games too - like Pixel Gun and Minecraft PE
I have similar stuff happening on 7.5.19 Xiaomi EU ROM. But it doesn't bother me.
Basically, I think the ROM gives some tolerance on how far should the initial movement has gone to unlock the pointer from the initial position. Definitely not a hardware problem.
Does anyone else have this issue? I am thinking about returning my MI6.. can anyone else take a video using the multitouch tester like me, and doing a touch and fine movement on the screen without making the circle move? please help! I really need to know if this is just the phone, or whether mine is faulty. thanks so much in advance

Actually the touch is very sensitive, just the way they decide that if you put down the finger like that, no mistouch (no movement is recorded). Whenever I play game, just push enough and move your finger and I have no problem with that (as a habit of gamers, I don't stiched my fingers on the screen that much).
Actually if you put the finger down and move it a little, it move the circle. But if you hard push for longer, slightly move don't move the circle. Hope you can sort it out.

That's what I have suggested to him too.
There shouldn't be a problem if you immediately move your finger upon touch. It's just if you don't move, it'll create some threshold in order to the cursor to be movable from the initial position.
Does the multitouch works good when you are not holding the phone in the hand? try putting the phone on a pilliow and try using 5 fingers on the screen with this multitouch tester app and see if it recognize all 5 fingers.
I had the nexus 7 2013 and it had that problem :/

There's actually no problems at all touching the screen. its only when I touch then drag, I need to move my finger greater than 5mm for it to recognise the finger is moving - if moving the finger slow... Watch the video I posted in first post and you understand.
In a game, for example. playing a FPS game like Minecraft - you select the block you want to remove and then you swipe your finger from that block to the next its very jerky, because the pointer does not unlock with small finger movement. takes big movement then its unlocked. once unlocked its fine - the whole time I don't lift my finger from the screen..
So its really annoying playing games - because I have to touch the screen, then swipe to unlock the pointer, then I can aim and shoot at the enemy or remove blocks in minecraft.
Some have said its the game, but you can also try with the stock launcher - going between screens of apps, you swipe left or right, it takes 5mm finger movement before the screen starts to move to the next..
I tried the inbuilt Finger touch sensor tester, and the touch and move finger 5mm is represented as 2 pixel dots - instead of a line. so something is farked up in the software. I have 2 x MI6 (bought another to test) and both seems the same... Xiaomi need to fix...
Well my Mi 6 is on the way from GearBest China and when i will get it i will install the Global Rom and will try to do this test with this app and will see if i have the same problem as you.
Purchased mine on Gearbest aswell (international rom), came with 8.0.2.0 upgradeable to 8.2.2.0, I upgraded and I have not this problem at all.
Maybe they fixed it with the latest update?

I also have Nexus 7 2013. The problem was jittery touch when you do multi-touch. It's kinda different problem.
But the case in Nexus 7 2013, it can be fixed by pushing the fix via ADB.
Same here.
But i think the developers want it.
I think it is a feature, not a bug. For better usebility.
Yes lol, a feature that we don't really want exactly like the notification light new feature which is that it only have one color - white.
Hmmm.. Maybe I'll order the OnePlus5 when its out... and use the MI6 as a spare

I tested this, on a friends Xiaomi Rednote 4, the touch delay wasn't there as far as we could see, so it doesen't seem to a feature of MIUI, maybe it's a bug or something.
It was running MIUI 8.1 I believe.
If it is a bug, you should ask Xiaomi to fix it.
