Recalibrate touchscreen? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there an app that will recalibrate the touchscreen? The corners of the, screen as well as the bottom above the 4 buttons is acting funny. I d press one place and it would think I am touching elsewhere. Cm6rc1

Standby for a second, then turn it back on and the problem goes away. It's a common problem, but I've never heard a real reason for it or found a pattern to when it happens.
There is no calibration for capacitive screens.

Just to clarify:
Standby means turning the screen off via the top button right?

Yes, just hit the power button, or as my wife says "Turn the screen off".

That made me laugh a little. Yes, as he said, capacitive touchscreens do not need to be calibrated.

Should home and back be illuminated ?

My home and my back arent illuminated I'm sure they were when I got the phone
Reviews show them lit .. before I ring 3 for a replacement I want to check
Thanks

cover the 2 sensors on the top left with a piece of folded paper or something, do they light up?
Ah yes .. I'm sat under a bright light doooh thank you
Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.
Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks

I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.
I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

I use an app called keyboard backlights from play. Works great but recently in occasions they come on anyway. They are off 80% of the time though. Can only do if your rooted btw

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39498430&postcount=7
Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.
Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue

HTC as "Home" button?

Is there a way for me to make;
Back=Back
Long press back=Menu
HTC= Home
Long press HTC= Google Now
Home=Recent apps,
If someone could either do this for me or provide me with instructions I would be very grateful.

The HTC logo has already been made as a menu button, and also is implemented in "logo2wake/sleep" and "sweep2wake". But to answer the op's question, yes it should be possible

It was explained by a member of HTC's support team in a Reddit Q&A that the HTC logo in fact does not have a sensor beneath it:
http://www.reddit.com/r/htcone/comments/1d6p8f/debunking_some_myths_and_answering_some_common/
Myth/Question #1: The HTC Logo is a capacitive key that can be programmed as an extra input option.
A: There is an XDA video showing a user who mapped this HTC logo to respond to button presses. Even with that video- this is false. There is no capacitive sensor located in that area. The XDA user programmed the final row of pixels (or a couple rows) located in the middle of the phone to be accessed as a keypress. There is no hardware supporting capacitive touch in this location (one of the engineers showed me the opened up device personally).
There is an image I found online and posted in this thread showing the capacitance locations

Cool...
...but it does work as a button, regardless if it's a capacitive one or not. Nobody here said it's capacitive, just asking if it could be used as a something other than a menu button which is does do in all custom kernels. The OPs request seems totally do-able with a custom kernel.
But no, HTC will likely never make it a feature. But that is why we have bad ass devs.

Not to harp, but the logo is not a button, period. No matter what kernel you use, you will never be able to press on the logo itself and have the device respond. Every implementation of logo2wake or logo2menu will say to hit the area "above the logo" to activate the feature, since you're then close enough to the screen to trip those first few sensors.

I mean, so long as it works, no one really got "trolled" per se.
I just have my logo or above it for the technical people as my menu button. Home is home, long press Google now, double tap for recent. That's ideal for me. I'd want my home as home not menu

Man, all these kernel devs are lying to us, calling it "logo2wake" and stuff when it should be called "eversoslightlyabovethelogobutnotonthelogobecausethelogoisn'tarealbutton2wake"
I wonder why they don't call it that...Oh, because it sounds retarded, that's why.
I get it's the screens digitizer which is ever so slightly functional under the black border at the bottom of the screen and they simply remap the tiny sliver above the HTC logo to function as button.

Simulate battery pull problem

Has anyone else had trouble doing simulated battery pull? Ive done it before but when I just went to try it, it gets to 1 sec and doesnt reboot. Even held 30 secs longer and nothing. Anyone have any idea why that is? Will it only allow simulated battery pull when phone freezes?

Weird how the proximity sensor can effect the powering on/off of a device. Never had that probem before. Then again Ive only owned one other phone without a removable battery. Had the htc 4g lte for a short time before getting this htc one. Is this just a software "glitch" that could be fixed with an software update or something in the htc one hardware?

Sad part is, wasnt long ago I read somewhere on xda how someone was told to do the bright light when they couldnt get their phone to power on and it worked. Never dawned on me to try that to restart it..well simulate battery pull anyways. Never seems to restart (maybe Im just impatient lol) without pressing power to get it to boot back up.

Never own a phone with build n battery so this is new to me. But cool tip I will remember this.
You just aim the light sensor but the speak to a bright light and press n hold power?

Extra sensitive screen.

Has anyone else noticed how sensitive the screen is? I constantly find my phone has woke up because of a notification. Then my pocket does all kinds of random things. pockt dialing, pocket facebooking, pocket gaming and last but not least pocket txting lol.

Same issue and my friend has the same problem. If they'd get rid of the stupid screen on for notifications it would help but it's also not good that when squatting down its easy to press the home button in your pocket since it's not fully flush with the body. Thus allowing you to still accidentally unlock it the same way

If you're rooted, you can make the home button not wake up the device with Wanam. I found that this caused a more problems than the brief wake on receiving text messages.
Not sure how to make it not wake the screen when you get a text message.
I've never seen it wake the screen for anything other than text and calls, though.

The Nexus 5 Defects Thread

Seeing how Nexus devices are somewhat more prone to defects than others (especially the 7 line?), how have your brand new Nexus 5s fared now that some of you have had the chance to play with it a little?
The power button is jiggly/wobbly and makes an audible 'clicky' sound when I tap on the screen near it or shake the device.
oh no here we go with the rattle noises

The buttons are ceramic, and a bit more weighty than the vinyl/rubber/plastic on other phones. I plan on a Diztronic case anyway, which softens the buttons/push action and quiets the rattles.

Any movement of the phone, not just a deliberate shake.

Honestly I have the device and it makes such a tiny wobble and noise that we can call this device a success: if all you can pick out is that tiny nit pick from anything you can possibly find then you're just looking for problems.
I got nothing else. Battery is good, camera is good, phone feels fantastic in my hands, no software bugs, no weird earpiece buzz from n4, no multi touch issues, GPS works, Bluetooth works, anything else? I don't have USB otg to test...

Mine has pretty poor back light wash out at angles over 30 degrees or so. Its not strictly a poor viewing angle because there is no colour shift. Other than that it seems fine, no rattling, no obvious bugs.

Can you confirm that if you hold the power and volume buttons in place, then shake the phone, that the rattle goes away?
If it's still present then the rattle is most likely the camera module - my S3 has a similar rattle.
Upon further inspection yes my Nexus 5 power button does 'rattle' but its such a small niggle that I will ignore it, simply put if I tap (firmly!) the top right of the screen I can hear the rattle of the power button but thats it, no real backlight bleed nor any dead pixels battery seems pretty damn good and the earpiece is brilliant quality, need to check the mic mind.
