[Q] Are there any bugs on the HTC One's touch screen?

I'm getting this phone in a few months time and see whether it is the right phone for me since I'm practically a gamer.
Let me explain this bug. It has been going around since the period of the HTC Hero.
Sometimes whenever you play a game that requires two finger touches, the touch response will glitch for awhile. For example, you move from point A to point B, but the touch screen will try to glitch your touch on point B to point A.
So for those who are using an HTC One, can you check if this bug is in your phone?

I also encounter this problem on my 2011 htc phone but only if using custom roms.

Out of the box the HTC one has HTC gestures enabled which means you will only have two touch points. Switch it off and you will get all ten touch points.
Go to "settings" - "Display, gestures and buttons". Scroll down to "gestures" and untick "HTC gestures"

I dont have that problem on mine if like above said. I turn off HTC gestures.

Lates digitizer has the capability to regster 10points unlike the old one limited to only 4

I have no idea what you guys are trying to explain.
The bug is that when two fingers are touching on the screen, both moving, regardless of whether htc gestures is turned on or off, the touch responses will glitch around.
This mostly happens whenever the device is awake from sleep. And of course in-game.

I had the same issue as you but switching of HTC gestures cured it. With HTC gestures on the touch screen seems to get confused (as it will only differentiate two touch points), with it off it has been fine with me (now differentiating between 10 touch points).

[App] Soft Buttons Lights always on!

New here in the HTC one area so please forgive me if this topic was already covered. Being new to the HTC phone I wasn't liking the soft button lights turning off during the day light so this app basically keeps button backlight always on, as long as the screen is on.
Confirmed working with HTC one. KiNDA
Soft Buttons Light

UPDATE: The soft lights turn off on occasion and I have to toggle the power button to turn the light back on. Bug I guess but quick minor temp fix by hitting the button
UPDATE 7-/4/13: According to solid.snake (see quote below), Capacitive Buttons Brightness Works well

Are you able to see the button lights in the daylight? They seem kind of dim to me.

Nice username.
Yeah, the One has a very stiff button, so you're going to get almost no tactile feedback when you press it. That's how it's supposed to be. If you don't like it though, there are several mods floating around this forum on ways you can raise its profile (like painting on clear nail polish).

Or just bypass it almost completely and use the modified kernels for slide to wake or double tap to wake. There's also a few other long press options too. At least that way you only use then power button to turn on and off the phone.

There also appear to be options for turning screen off through the eqs, although I haven't been able to get those to work for me. Sweep2wake/sweep2sleep is awesome. Also a great little show off for your non rooted friends!

Screen randomly getting dim

I have auto brightness off, auto adjust screen tone off and brightness set to max. My screen randomly dims and then gets bright again...anyone know what's causing this?
sEnt from thE noTe 3

Hmm is it this adapt display option maybe?
sEnt from thE noTe 3

Same here then I went into my settings to check the brightness (settings, display, brightness) and it said brightness decreased to prevent over heating or something like that ..check it next time you notice it dimming and see if it's the same thing ..pretty annoying
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

power saver uses the dimming option for low consumption of battery and make sure auto adjust is off in display settings

Power saving isn't on. Adapt display didn't fix it either

I have everything turned off also ..I checked in my settings every time my screen dimmed and every time the same message ..it was driving me nuts for days (still is)
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

I've had this happened to me also.
It seems to be more frequent when I'm using Chrome ( not stock browser ). It suddenly gets dim and then may or may not eventually brighten up again, it's pretty random
Also happens when I'm on the launcher but not as frequent
- Automatic Brightness / Off
- Screen Mode / Professional Photo
- Power saving mode / Off
- Auto adjust screen tone / Off
Is there something else I may be missing?

It happens to me while using the xda app. Annoying as hell. It has the same message as Melissa

Does anyone know if this processor does thermal throttling? That could possibly trigger a power save dim with overheating. If we get root this can be disabled using trickster mod.

The Otimus G Pro had a setting in the hidden menu to disable thermal throttling.

Will do, you as well plz :good:

Thought this was an issue with my phone when I got it from AT&T yesterday. Glad to know it isn't just me. It seems to only have the issue when I am in a low-lite area (at least on mine) but when I am in an area with good lighting and the back light is 75% or more it doesn't dim nearly as much. Would be interested to see what a fix would be for this.

Same for me, it does it in low light obly, with or without power saving enabled. I have the same problem on my galaxy tab 2 (7) and couldn't find a fix yet.

The service mode is brought up by typing *#0011# in the dialer on this phone but aside from that i havent had a chance to mess around in there. I do know that key imput 1 doesnt bring up the main menu anymore.

So I've been having this issue and noticed it like two days ago, and reading all your responses I looked through and noticed I had one of the features that I thought I turned off. Smart Stay says that it starts to turn the screen off when we look away maybe it's a buggy feature (one I never intended to use but it might be the one doing this dimming thing (being one of the first steps to turn off the screen)

Disable accelerometer wakeup

Any way to do this? It doesn't work very well and it's probably just draining the battery.

Actually, if you move your wrist up in vertical motion while rotating the clock, it works almost 100% of the time.
