once upon a time i was a blackberry owner and in the settings I could change the sensitivity to help when selecting text or scrolling. is this possible with a nexus one or with a mod.
The nexus has a touch screen so those uses really aren't necessary.plus you can feel the trackball skip when moving to the next spot and it would be out of sync if it could be changed.

Hi,
So i noticed when setting up Go SMS and other apps that i cannot use my finger to touch the edge of the screen.
For example: when setting up a font colour using the sliders in Go SMS i cannot slide the colours all the way to 0 or 255 with my finger.
It stops at 4 and 250. If i want to go to 0 or 255 i must use my s pen.
Anyone else have this issue and is there a solution to fix it?
Ive attached an example of finger use and s pen use. This edge problem is in all apps.
As you can see, where i drew lines with black using my finger it would stop drawing around 3-5mm from the edge.
Thanks
Neil
Just noticed that!
Yes that's really strange.
I actually never even noticed this until now since I checked.
I'd also be interested to see if anyone knows the cause of this. Whether it's hardware related, or software.
I just tried this, the faster I swipe to the edge with my finger, the further away it stops, but if I do it slower, it goes right to the edge.

Gets worse when charger is plugged in.
Known issue.

I just found that in S-Note, with S-Pen set for left-hand, I can't quite color to the left edge, but can hit the very edge on the other 3 sides. Switch S-Pen to right-hand setting, and can hit very edge of S-Note page on all 4 sides.
Definitely can't get to the very edge with finger, on any side.
yes i too noticed this problem while using sketchbook mobile

Bloody hell...I just realise I am having the same problem...tried to increase some settings in a program...the slider just stops moving about 1/4" from the edge....with fingers..

Having the same issue too...particularly when trying to get the side menu open on dolphin browser... its almost like 10-20 pixels are not touchable.....
I've noticed that I'm only able to use two touch points using nicks project X 4.1 rom and the redux kernel (0.5). I'm pretty sure the inc s has the capability for 5 touch points so is this a problem specific to my device,or is it a kernel or rom issue?
It's because of the 3 fingers gestures function. You can disable it on the settings under "display and gestures"

Yes, thank you. With that setting inactivated I can use three fingers, but there is still something wrong. Using four fingers will work for a fraction of a second then the screen becomes non-responsive for a while. I see the same non-responsive behavior with the lock screen sometimes.
If you think the current on-screen buttons is already the best solution then perhaps you wont agree with me. But anyways I along with alot of other people dont like to accidentally press the home button AND the multi-tasking button due to its disruptive nature especially now that in 4.2 it throws you out of the app basically. Mapping the home button to a long press really isnt a solution its annoying to do it all the time and is simply not intuitive.
My solution is something thats not done so far but I really think its possible.
A center hardware home button. Double press acts as a multi-tasking button.
2 tiny OLED screens on the sides of the home button so we can have adaptive navigation buttons alongside a hardware home button.
One of the OLED screens shows the back button and the other one dynamically shows the menu button whenever needed. When not used the OLED screen wont consume any power at all unlike LCD.
And ofcourse this also keeps open the possibility to customize and map whatever buttons you want to like if someone wants to have a single click task switcher they can still have it.
Another huge advantage of having a hardware home button is the ease of waking up the device which is under appreciated a bit I feel. Anyways thats my 2 cents.
Having a home button would be a problem to create a uniform Google experience, since every manufacturer would have their own button design. Also, physical buttons has a life expectancy of approximately 2 years (just try pressing an iPhone 4 button).
Also, Galaxy S3 has a home button. Choice.

Pie seems like a better solution or the many gesture navigation's out there

And yet we dont have a unified solution. HTC and samsung the 2 biggest players continue to do their own thing. Another point to note is that on-screen buttons dont allow for their to be a "gap" between the screen and navigation buttons unless ofcourse you want to waste massive amounts of screen estate. Having more gap reduces accidental presses.
But S3 has static capacitive buttons so you lose out on the freedom that the solution I proposed offers. The menu button certainly needs to be dynamic so you know when its needed and when its not.
I was really excited to have phone with on screen buttons...until I had a phone with on screen buttons. I definitely noticed the loss of screen real estate coming from the HOX to the Nexus 4. Expanded desktop is nice, but not very convenient. I really like the style Samsung has adapted. My friend has a Galaxy S3 and I love being able to turn on the display with the home button. Of course, on screen buttons are mappable, which is nice.

What i do...
Use on screen buttons when navigating and when I'm in an app for a long time i use the expanded desktop with PA.. after I'm done I go back to normal.
I would rather have an option to swipe to the left to hide the soft buttons.

Am I the only one noticing the keyboard flicker when you go to type a message?
It doesn't seem to be every single time the keyboard pops up.
For instance, I just closed the keyboard and tapped the screen to type again and it did not flicker.

Hi,
Anyone able to remove the camera shortcut from the bottom? That is the least function I even use on my "Phone"!
I can move it between the four position, I can put it in a folder but I can't remove it. I would love to put my gmail there instead (along with phone, message and browser), I use gmail 1000 times more then the camera
This is the one bit about the one I don't like. The app draw is confusing. You have to go into the app draw. Long press on the app you want in the draw and drag it to the bottom.

I now find that it makes sense to organize the bottom shortcuts in the app drawer.. it's just a new feature for old souls to get used to, but I like it now.

It does take a couple of goes to get used to but I like the way htc have done it, it's good to be different.

I like how they implement it. Making it only removeable on the app drawer makes it more secure to accidental touches. I usually hold my phone when screen is on and there are times I get my homescreen messed up due to these long presses that moves it accidentally.
Custome shortcuts can't be added

The issue I've found with this, is that I can no longer add a custom shortcut that I've created from apps like Quickshortcutmaker. After creating a unique shortcut, it adds the shortcut to my home screen. From that point on, I cannot add it as a lockscreen shortcut, as that requires that I open up the app drawer (which does not show my custom shortcut).
I've been scrambling around to figure out how to add a custom shortcut. I don't think it's possible without rooting. On the HTC Evo LTE, etc.. I used to have a custom shortcut to the Voice Search feature to go directly there without having to click more than once.
