Hi there,
my problem is that top part of screen (about 1,5 cm) is disable for touch.
I found out that i can change resolution of screen with terminal emulator and display-size command, but when i do that it cuts off a bottom part of screen.
(i would love to paste a photo how it looks like, but i'm a new member and i can't...)
Is there any way to do similar thing, but with cutting top part of screen ?

I have found a little problem.
The touch screen work good with a keyboard, but it has a little error with precision while drawing with a program like magicmarker or any others applications. On the left size of the screen the point i touch is not centered like on the right size.
Example :
- on right size the points i draw are perfectly in the middle of my finger
- on left size the points i draw are about 2-3 millimeters and the right of the middle of my finger
How can i fix it ?
hi there,
The desire has a capacative display, which works by measuring the capacitance change when you touch the screen, by way of the magnetic field of your body, this way the screen does not need calibrating because of the way it works.
Hope this helps.
im sure someone will correct me if im wrong
I tend to agree with the original post. I wondered earlier here if there is a way to align the screen (such as with WinMo). Especially when browsing I easily click the wrong links, I have carefully checked where my finger tip touches the area, but the wrong link etc is actioned. There is a way to somehow correct it for typing, but think thast all.... ??
Hello,
I'm trying to make a little app made of several screens (say from 1 to 5).
When the application is launched, it will display screen 1, and users will be able to go to screen 2 by clicking on 'Next', then 3, and so on. They will also be able to go back.
To improve user-friendliness, I want to make those different screens slide. I saw some software doing it smoothly, so it should be possible.
So I tried to do the same, using a panel wider than the screen and changing his 'Left' attribute. But the result was very bad (it's CPU-killing and it's not smooth at all). I've enclosed the project if someone wants to have a look.
My question is: How I can get these screens slide smoothly?
P.S.: I saw two SDKs making nearly what I want (XFControl and SliderList), but it seems that one screen have to be parent of the other, and that's not what I want
I realize this will sound like sacrilege to many here, but I'm looking for an app that can be used to shrink the viewable portion of the screen.
Why?
There are certain times when I'm using the phone and don't need the full screen for the task at hand. Additionally, since the touchscreen extends so far to the edge of the device, there are times when I accidentally "press" the outer edges of the screen with the meaty portion of my thumb (i.e. holding the phone in my right hand, trying to tap something in the upper-left corner, my palm might hit the lower-right corner)
My further hope is that battery drain could be reduced while using this.
So does any app like this exist?
If not, would the creation of such an app be possible?
Is it possible to shrink what is being viewed to a smaller portion of the screen?
Is it possible to "turn off" touch functionality for certain areas (i.e. the outer edge) of the touchscreen, or is it all-or-none?

I know its possible to turn off the touch around the bezel, there is an app for it. Off top I cant remember what the name of it is, but I will check for you and get back.
EDIT: I believe this is the app I was thinking of. There may be another different one or two. I know there is one to do exactly what you are asking.. you set a screen area around the bezel to prevent accidental touches. Let me know if this app works for you.
Thanks for the heads up, WiredPirate. That thread also led me to find "Invisible Grip" and as you said, it blocks touches around the edges of the screen, and does work on my device. At some point I'll probably plunk down the $0.99 to get the Pro version, which allows setting the size of each border, etc.
I wonder if a resizing app already exists as well.

I dont know that a resizing app exists, I haven't seen one but that doesn't make it nonexistent. If I do stumble upon one in the future I will let you know. I know there is a resizable app for playing video, but that's much different than shrinking the screen.
Hi
I had a cracked screen before and I bought the component to fix it myself, (replacing the screen using service just cost too much in UK, I can almost buy another brand new phone) however the lower half of the screen does not work.
Is there any app that use to make my screen smaller so that I can actually use the usable section of the screen only please?
Search for Reachability and look at related apps. Those are designed to avoid the need to reach the top of your screen. Possibly they can work the opposite way too?
There's a shell command that can be used to "ignore" a part of the screen; "wm overscan". You can execute it with root privilege or from adb :
Code:
wm overscan [left],[top],[right],[bottom]
For example of you want to ignore 200 pixels from the bottom and 100 pixels from the top:
Code:
wm overscan 0,100,0,200
To cancel the effect :
Code:
wm overscan reset
By curiosity, having also faced trouble with touch screen after changing it, did you buy a screen already fixed in the frame or did you do it yourself ?
Curious if there's a way to have different screen zoom and text sizes per screen. On the front.. obviously like it a little bigger. Opened, I like the screen zoom to small with a slightly smaller text size. Also the screen zoom changes some apps to tablet mode, not ideal for the small screen. Any ideas?
Wondering about this as well. I've yet to find anyway of doing this. At the moment, 'Medium' Zoom looks better for the outside screen but too big for the Inner. I've just set it to 'Small' as the best you can get for now. Any change in developer setting (to make even smaller) makes the outside screen practically unusable due to its tiny size.
yeah from what i understand, the text size setting is completely global which is unfortunate.
with their expensive team of "experts", you would wonder why this was such an oversight.
Iv noticed on small screen you can pinch to zoom which iv used a lot
