In-game buttons/Touch screen not working properly? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not sure if it was the 4.2.2 update but when I play games now my touches don't register UNLESS I long tap it and/or slide my finger slightly. If I just tap the screen it won't recognize anything. This only happens in games..... all other apps are fine.
Also, when I double tap the screen in my games it allows me to zoom in? Since when?
Anyone have this problem?
EDIT: I've found my problem.... I had magnification gestures turned on under settings > accessibility.

How to disable the wheel

does anyone know how to disable the wheel scrolling on the diamond, its one of the most annoying features if all you want to do is scroll down or up and the wheel turns so far down or up you end up calling or missing the person you want to call.
Err .... what wheel scrolling?? Are you thinking of the scrolling ring around the outside of the central button? If so what are you trying to do with it, because in my phone it is not set up to scroll through contacts?
yeah the scroll ring, how do i disable it scrolling through contacts or any other action assigned to it
Dunno .... mine has never worked that way and according to the manual the scrolling ring is only used for zooming in or out in certain programmes (not the contact list) and not for scrolling up or down.
Are you sure you are not thinking of the up and down buttons that are above and below the button (not part of the scrolling ring). As far as I know that is the only way to move up and down on the buttons. Otherwise it is finger scrolling on the screen - which is what i use
It defiantly scrolls up and down, when i am using the phone, it only zooms in and out when i am in opera.
It really annoys me, because whenever i want to move up and down it will scroll up or down x10 as you move your finger around the ring.
to disable/enable:
simply download diamond tweak
19. Touch-sensitive Wheel
19.1 Disable
19.2 Disable
19.3 Disable
19.4 Disable
19.5 Disable
19.6 Disable
19.7 Disable
Easy...
do you have a url?
Just checked mine no ring scrolling here either stock telstra rom no tweeks....
I don't have the scrolling feature using the wheel. Does anyone know how can I enable the scrolling feature? Is there a cab where I can download for this feature? It's a cool feature for me.
As far as I know, GScroll will implement the scrolling features.

Screen tap location?

Does anyone know of a way to show screen tap locations on the screen?
Windows has an accessibility option for mouse clicks. Something like that. =P
If your phone is rooted then I believe you can do that through the developement app. Or you can try this https://market.android.com/details?id=multitouchpro.tests&feature=search_result

[Q] Questions regarding purchase....please answer:)

please answer some questions if you cant answer them all...
1. I saw there is a mod that makes the htc logo the menu button....does that also make the black bar go away in apps that have the black bar?
2. during gaming or swiping can you accedently press the back button? for example swiping from screen to back button activates it or not? (does it require a tap, or will a swipe suffice?)
3. how much does the GPU eat. how many hours could i play modern combat 4 for example? an average of time would be enough.
4. can i zoom in during recording slow motion videos?
i currently own a galaxy S4 wich has desame camera features....but all need to be set before you make the photo. the htc one just makes the photos and then after making them you can select those functions like drama shot and eraser wich is very nice.
the thing that i dont like on the htc one is a smaller screen size and afraid i will tab the back button every time.
1. With 4.2.2 you have the option to remove the menu bar, you can make it so that if you hold the home button, it acts as a menu, and swipe the home up for Google Now, and double tap home for recent apps. its in Settings/Display & Gestures
2. never had any accidental back button presses during gaming.
i cant answer the other two

thanks! have you tried to swipe from game/screen to back? will it activate it?
maybe is there a way to only make that button work doing a double tap?

1. The black bar will still be there on 1.2x ROMs, but with the 4.2.2 ROMs now circulating, it is removed by default.
2. I have never accidentally swiped until it hit the back button, but if you're having issues with that you can just turn the phone the other way round so that the buttons are on your left instead of on your right (assuming you're right handed)
3. I have not played MC4 (just bought it today), but it can play Asphalt 7 for about 3-4 hours before it rolls over and needs a charge.
4. You won't want to do any zooming of any kind on camera phones, cos it's digital zoom. Optical zoom is achieved when the lens in the camera move to give you a closer view, but digital zoom just enlarges the pixels on your screen and looks fantastically ugly.

Wake up clock issue

Hey guys, I have null 14 installed on my gear and when it does the gesture wakeup it goes to this screen(see pic). If I press the button to wake it up, it goes to the normal clock screen like it should. I have changed the wake up settings to last screen viewed and that works fine but it's just a pain in the rear having to exit out of all the programs by swiping down. Any ideas whats goin on?

From the first page of the pinned Null_15 thread...
SCREEN UNLOCKS TO NOVALAUNCHER PAGE PREVIEW?
GO INTO "NOVA SETTINGS -> GESTURES -> HOME BUTTON -> NONE".
it's a pretty good place to start if you are having any issues with the ROM...
Thanks
Great responses. Thanks alot guys

Double Tap To Sleep Not Working

This new feature on 6.0.1 does not work on my phone, despite several restarts, safe mode activation, etc. Will not do software repair for now- too much hassle.
Am I the only user who has this problem? Seemed like a nice idea: after double tap to wake, now double tap to sleep!

Are you using the Home launcher?
This was a Concept feature, I'm not sure if it was in the full release. But, if it did, you need to double-tap on an empty area of the homescreen in Home.
I am sure it's a final release feature: the option to toggle it on or off appeared in my home screen settings menu after downloading 6.0.1.
And yes, I know how to activate it: double tap empty space on home screen.
Any Z3 Compact owner reading this whose double tap to sleep works?
Tap To Sleep in 6.0.1: Issue Solved
Just figured it out: while in "tap to wake" I can use many different intervals (i.e. time between the two taps) to activate the function, "tap to sleep" will only accept a precise interval to work: if I double tap just 50 milliseconds too fast or too slow, it will not work.

Well, I suppose that makes sense. Must be frustrating to get that timing right, though..
HI, you need to long press on your home screen and then you get it selected with everything what's there. When you see this that you an remove or add items to your home screen there will be either a setting icon or a plus icon on the bottom that you need to click on. This will show a menu where if you scroll down will give you the option to activate "double tap to sleep" feature. Sony could have put the double tap to wake up and sleep mode in one place ……
