multitouch issue - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Is anyone else having issues with the multitouch? i have noticed it while gaming i can press on two points of the screen at the same time, it seams to loose one of my fingers.

No problems here. Try Multitouch Visualizer 2 from the market. It might confirm your suspicions.

Thanks, i did try that and i get point one to show up but if i tap the screen and hold my second finger down i lost point one :-( i think i will have to bring the phone back.

just as a follow up i did a factory reset on my phone and things are running normal again, i am not sure what caused this issue but happy its resolved. Thank you for your help argolfermd

Did this fix the problem permanently for you? I returned my first vivid because of this exact problem. My second worked fine for a few days, so I rooted it, but then the problem returned. Flashing a new rom solved the problem for a little while, but now it's back again.
Rebooting the phone fixes it for a little while, but the multitouch issues always return.
Here is a video I made with multitouch visualizer just so its clear what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI0GKZL1cqY

I think it had to do with the launcher I was using but the go launcher has been updated and is no longer a issue so yeah it's permanently fixed.

Thanks. That's strange because I have had this problem on multiple vivids, launchers, and roms; it just keeps coming back. I guess it could possibly have something to do with an app I have installed, but I have no idea how to figure out which one other than uninstalling them one by one which would take ages and might not solve the problem.
Does no one else have this problem on their vivid? Its pretty frustrating as it makes a lot of games impossible.

What you could try is use titanium backup to back up your apps and data then uninstall apps and see if that fixes it. And if not you can always restore back. I am on wild child's 3.5 Rom with mods and this thing is so fast I don't see the need for launchers so I am using stock sense.

I actually flashed the latest version of Wild Child's 3.5 ROM last night, and as I added my apps back one at a time I found the culprit: the Unlock With WIFI Free app. The problem only occurs when Unlock with WIFI is running. After some googling I found someone complaining about a similar problem with the app on another forum.
I'm glad I figured this out. It was driving me crazy.

glad you sorted out the issue.

Apps that replace lock screen or mess with wake lock seem to cause multitouch issues. Widget locker was always the culprit for me.

[Q] Multiple Launcher Problem

I am having a problem with multiple launchers installed on my phone. If I install another launcher (launcherPro, adw, etc.) The resolver activity shows up like it is supposed to. I select a default (it doesn't matter which) and it does what it is supposed to do. After about 5 minutes, the phone forgets that I have selected a default, and if I hit home button, the resolver shows up again. This will happen every 5 minutes until i uninstall everything except sense.
Anyone else experience this, or know of any fixes?
I got my vivid on Sunday and since the minute I turned it on, I had adw ex. Haven't run into the phone wanting to use sense over and over.

^this , OR are you using the task killer and just pushing "kill all" ? i found that was killing adw ex, and i had to break the habit of just pushing that magical button and instead hit all the little x's and close the apps manually...
hope this helps,
-Dagnus
no task killers. I did a factory reset, and that didn't fix the problem. I think I am just going to live with it. Hopefully we get a permanent root and custom recovery soon. I figure it is a software problem that will disappear once I get on a new ROM.
An update: Digging through logcat, I have figured out it is the HTC Messages app that is clearing the default. I am on the phone with HTC now, but not holding my breath. The 1st level tech support had not idea what I was talking about, and when I mentioned logcat it really threw her.
Can someone confirm this by installing another launcher and firing up HTC Messages and see what happens?
You mean the stock messaging app? I'm using launcher 7 right now with stock messaging app. Works fine.
Sent from my HTC PH39100
What build number are you using pg? I have confirmed that the way htc is launching the stock messaging app screws up the home preference. I can duplicate it with a custom app i wrote.

Droid3 Home Screen Resets

I have a 2 week old Droid3 right out of the box. Twice now the 5 home screens have reset to the factory default grey and black wallpaper with default icons. All apps and phone settings are still ok. Thought maybe Winamp, PlayerPro, or Dolphin were recent apps installed that needed to be uninstalled. Still happening. Has anyone else seen this problem? Verizon and Motorola have no records of similar issues. Thanks!
Do a factory reset?

There's no guarantee that there in't a bug and it could come back. I forgot to include in my original post is that it happened to a colleague's phone the same afternoon it last occurred for me. I'd like to find root cause rather than "rebooting" the phone.

I've not hear of this happening on the Droid 3 nor have I experienced it. The most likely cause is a rogue app or corrupted piece of software. If that is the case, a factory reset is the fix. If that doesn't work, its likely an incorrect ROM on the device. In which case, a factory reset is the resolution. By using the word "colleague" you imply that you too may use the phone for the same purpose, which would imply you would install similar apps. This goes back to software that you've installed. Factory reset is your permanent resolution. May not be the most convenient, but is definitely the most reliable.
same exact thing happens to my brothers. his notifications are now changing too. he's getting sick of this.

rom links dead
I fixed the links. All links for the ROM and Gapps are posted on the Downloads page of my site from now on. Just follow the link.
I just switched back to Hanger's ROM from CM9 and I must say, even though it doesn't get as high of benchmarks, it feels a whole lot snappier and there seems to be 0 lag in his ROM. Very pleased and will probably use it as a daily driver now. Thanks a bunch for your hard work. Hope everything in your family is OK now.

I've learned after years of computer use and building and repairing them that benchmarks don't always mean anything. Benchmarks rarely test the average performance that a user will experience.

Rom ui looks awesome. Running smooth so far. Little bit of keyboard lag but that's par for the course with ics from my experience. Can tell you put a lot of time into this.

OK its been a few hours now and the keyboard lag is getting really bad in some instances. Also, in the messaging app, hitting the button to start a new convo just crashes back to the home screen. That's all I've really noticed so far.

Hanger doesn't check this thread regularly; if you have a "bug," see OP and report it in the bug tracker so it can be addressed in the next update.
Are you guys using the stock keyboard? Give swiftkey beta 3 a shot or the new JB one

Did you make sure and do a full wipe first? You didn't by chance restore data with TBU did you?
I've been running this ROM for weeks and I don't have either bug on my install.

Love the ROM but have some lag...
I'm having lag to the point of frozen. I've had to pull the battery about 4 times in the last 3 days. It's not related to USB issues since I'm not plugged in when it happens. The apps (not any in particular) seem to overload the phone's ability to process. If I'm lucking it reboots - otherwise it's a battery pull.
I did restore data using TBU and I'm using the "lazy" kernel configuration.
Other than that I really love this ROM. Seriously. It has every buzzer and whistle I could hope for and they all work.

Yeah when i was testing for Hanger and i ran in to similar probs in the alpha builds don't restore data via tbu. the problems for me went away when i didn't. Also double check your cwm version, make sure it's the newest for the inc.

First try. Issue with kk's 2012-11-11 JB ROM

Hi all,
My first post, and as of yesterday my first custom ROM. Despite some sweaty moments it worked fine thanks to the guidance on this forum and some leaps of faith Can't reply to the relevant thread directly since I'm n00b.
Was very happy with this, however one killer issue that's meant I've had to revert to stock is that Google Talk (installed via GApps link with the ROM) crashes to desktop (no FC dialog) when i attempt to use voice or video within it. Skype seems to work fine though. Anyone else experienced this? I haven't seen it previously reported on here which makes me think maybe I didn't clear something properly (I used cwm recovery 5.5.0.4 to wipe cache, factory reset and clear dalvik prior to flash). I tried repeating the entire upgrade twice from scratch but same issue is still apparent.
Thanks for the coolness and hopeful for some help and further development.

Hey.
You're not the only one. I have the same issue with Google Talk. I, like you, thought that I wasn't installing something right. I even went as far as using an outdated gapps package, namely 20120726, to no avail. If you've gotten help with this, please let me know. Otherwise, I have no idea what else to do. I don't want to revert to stock because, quite frankly, its terrible. Also, to anyone else reading this, any help would be appreciated.
Try uninstalling talk after you've flashed the Rom and then reinstalling it. Had a similar problem with Google search.

I just checked the tablet and i dont see an option for uninstalling the app. just force close and disable. I also checked the play store to try and download the app, but i dont see it in there. maybe i'm missing something? like i said before, any help would be appreciated.
I'm not familiar with Google talk, is it the same as voice. To uninstall you'll need tibu or something like that.
I did find talk to chat in the play store which maybe the same thing you're talking about

Hey, I just want to thank you for your response. Its been a big help. Unfortunately, google talk isn't the same as voice. Its the chat client that is found in gmail and stuff. They just have a separate app for it on android devices. I think i may just use skype to video chat since i can't seem to find a fix for this and I can't bring myself to go back to the stock rom. If anyone happens to find a fix or knows of one, please let us know. Thanks.

gtalk doesn't work
My first ROM as well and facing the same problem with GTalk. Skype & Hangout on Google+ works fine. I was also wondering probably i missed a step.
But this ROM is so awesome don't want to restore. Other problems I am facing is that USB is not getting recognized on tablet and 3G not working. Any of you facing similar problem with 3G and USB?

As far as 3G, my tablet is the WiFi only, so I can't help you there.
With the usb, have you tried turning on the MTP setting? When you connect the tablet, go to settings>storage> and in the upper right hand side of the screen, if you press on the 3 dot things, you are going to see USB computer connection. press that and you will see the option to turn on MTP. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the replies, glad to know I'm not alone with g talk. Finally got stock ics ota but it's terrible! Prime example is Swype keyboard often appears the size of a credit card. Going back to cm as soon as talk fixed also had the USB issue but didn't try the workaround

[Q] HTC One camera fail..

hey peeps.. long time creeper - first time poster .
after months of perfect use, my htc one camera decided it didnt want to come to work anymore. after the icon is clicked, it begins to load but returns to the home screen. front and rear camera both dont work. i had it taken in by a local repair shop and they insist that the problem is not the hardware as all the connections and the hardware itself works fine.....
my question is- if i root it and install the stock google edition would that get this problem fixed? (something i read was possible through a site: htc-one.wonderhowto.com) i would attach a link, but, alas, i cannot.
Hopefully that link works.
i also hate that my first post is an ask for help. lame, sorry!
Have you tried to do a factory reset? That's about all you can try, if they're saying it's not the hardware.
That usually sorts the majority of software issues

I can definitely say yes, I wiped it. And simultaneously did a firmware upgrade. Still nothing. Would a whole new ROM help?
