[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Here is a shot I just took from my flatscreen in the living room. Ignore picture quality. I used the Atrix camera, (hence the infinite displays from the phone display), and this wasn't the best scenario for a good picture:
[Atrix 4G General] rob219:
Will this work on a laptip? thats the only thing i got with a hdmi plug in, and nothing pops up on the phone or laptop when pluged in. maybe ill reflash.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Did you set your laptop to external display?
[Atrix 4G General] rob219:
nope, gonna try it now an see what happens. ill post if it works.
[Atrix 4G General] dcarpenter85:
Not many laptops that I know of support using the built in panel as a display for device input. The HDMI port on your laptop is used to send an image out, not receive.
[Atrix 4G General] rob219:
yeah im not getting anything to happen. my laptops an hp g72 if that helps any
[Atrix 4G General] rob219:
so i cant anything to help me out. trying to find out how to make my laptop act as the external display but no help from searching im sure its possible though. well if anything it maybe time to go buy a monitor/tv with an hdmi hook up. thanks for your help on this and pointing out why my webtop isnt working when i plug it into my computer.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
This would be correct, so you will probably be SOL!

my question has been answered please close this thread.
[HTC Sensation] Ajboricua:
hey guys, I just got my replacement after my screeen went blank. The new phone after only using it for about 2 days I just notice a small light from the touch menus being emitted from the right corner. It seems the plastic strip sorrounding the outter is loose. I just cant help stare at the defective corner that keeps brighting my attention.. I believe its defective because my first phone didnt do this.. Before I call tmobile can anyone tell me if its normal?
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
NOT NORMAL. :(

I would get it replaced asap.
[HTC Sensation] Ajboricua:
Maybe I'm being ocd with my phone and ill order a case for it to block out the lower right lighting that distracts me or replace it

Imagine you paunt a glass black then emit light under it. You look at the top surface you notice light going through at the lower right edge with a case around the glass..

Im having bad luck with phones
[HTC Sensation] tbubba:
Mine does it But in the bottom left corner, just noticed it today
[HTC Sensation] wapena92:
It's normal. I have the same issue..

I read in a review that it was a common issue or something like that...

Im looking for the review to post up the url but I can't seem to find it...

But don't worry about it, its fine
[HTC Sensation] Ajboricua:
I guess ill live with it and buy a case tomorrow online to cover the issue. Its nice to see its a common problem and IM not the only one but is it worthy of warranty?

I wont worry about it.
[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
Same here bottom left, thought it was the backplate at first, but its the screen, as it exists even with back cover off
[HTC Sensation] Ajboricua:
It seems nobody notice until now lol
[HTC Sensation] Subaru_Nation555:
Mine had the same issue but on the left side. It didn't feel like anything was loose or broken just an error in manufacturing. I also remember reading a review that mentioned this problem.

My biggest worry would be more dust getting in.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
(Sorry guys, the forum won't allow me to post pics yet. I'll add them once I up my post count)

Hi guys, new to this site and just registered (been lurking hardcore for a while lol). I'm fortunate this thread popped up because I believe I'm having the same issue. Here's some pics, you can see the light emanating from the area that the capacitive buttons are to the left of the homescreen button (it has the same light blue color to it):

I know the pics aren't too great; it's hard to capture such a small amount of light with a P+S. I'm also wondering if because of this issue I can get the phone replaced. I know it's a small issue, but I'm paying $7.99 a month right now for TMob's Premium Handset Protection (anyone else?) which supposedly covers malfunctions. I'm just not sure if this can be called a malfunction. Lastly, I'm curious to see if I could get a replacement Sensation because I'm interested in rooting and would want to take care of this issue now before I start venturing into the warranty-killing zone.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Pictures, as promised:
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I had a similar problem, but from the left side. It was on my old Sensation (that I returned for other reasons) but it showed up about two weeks after I owned it. I think it's a common problem.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
I have exactly the same, at the bottom right corner.

It was here since the very first day I got my Sensation.

2 months later, the size of this "light spot" hasn't increased, and most important: I have no dust under my screen (despite I used my Sensation as an hicking GPS in the Corsican mountains, touching it it with dirty hands, using it on dusty tracks, etc)

So I guess there's no need to worry about it.
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
I have the same thing bottom right corner speck of light. TPU case covers it though. No dust under the screen so no worries.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Mine is fine.
[HTC Sensation] Pvt WhoOkid:
No lie its stupid crap like this that would pissed me off. Id exchange right away! Everytime I read these post like this it makes me double check my phone. So far it has no problems *knocks on wood.*
[Motorola Triumph] EmilVee:
Hey, so is anyone having some accuracy problems with their keyboards? Like, if the keys are on the same row and I type too fast, I'll get a random jumble of mess, regardless of what keyboard I have (though it does help when I use keyboards with larger keys).

I know previously we learned that the phone only detects two points of touch and had some weird issue when they crossed. Could this be the problem? Is it able to be remedied with a custom ROM?
[Motorola Triumph] emkorial:
I downloaded smartkeyboard, totally worth the $3. Not only can you disable multitouch if it'c causing problems, you can calibrate it to recognize your keypresses better.

Get the lite version and see if that helps.
[Motorola Triumph] richiehd:
Swype solved this for me
[Motorola Triumph] Rezanow:
I use SwiftKey, and I have trained myself to type slower and let their amazing predictions (not just the word you are typing, but the next one too) work for me.
[Motorola Triumph] mr2011:
Same thing happens to me, but I believe it's because the Triumph either can't recognized that many multi-touch presses, or it can recognize it but can't keep up, If that makes sense :P. Also, when I use a multi-touch testing application from the market, and I press simultaneously close to a perpendicular or parallel axis, the phone will not accurately respond :/
[Motorola Triumph] Rezanow:
Just had the strangest realization. I stopped typing with my thumbs, and started using my index fingers. It has made all the difference. Seriously, try it and tell me it's not just me.
[Motorola Triumph] EmilVee:
Already have it, and yeah, it's helped considerably, but the issue's still there.
[Motorola Triumph] motorolatriumph:
i have swype and it works great...
[Motorola Triumph] jrcullen80:
Yes, I'm having the same problem. I posted about it in the general issues thread. I described it as randomly firing its own commands, but you describe it better. ;-) Only other thing is that mine also toggles the keyboard back and forth, puts it up, takes it off, puts it up, takes it off, etc, while it's doing this keyboard thing. With a 1Ghz processor, this shouldn't be happening. The keyboards that came with it are ridiculous. I installed a few different ones. I am using the gingerbread one, but that doesn't solve the touch problems that were designed into this ROM. It's more like just a skin over their code. Does that make sense? To answer your question, I'm not an expert, but I do believe a custom ROM will solve this issue, so I'm waiting on their release as well. Keep me posted if anyone finds a fix to this issue. Thanks.
[Motorola Triumph] MarkMcCoskey:
I installed the free GO Keyboard, and it is working much better for me.
[Motorola Triumph] rockneo:
It's not a keyboard issue, it's a multi touch issue, hopefully motorola pushes some kind of update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkachun9129:
I am using Mozart with build 7712.

It seems that I can't access Skydrive ,WLM and fb chat through Message with EDGE data connection enabled.

For Skydrive, I can only access through the browser, but not from Office Hub.

And I tried IM+, I can chat with my friends.

So is EDGE not supported for connecting to Skydrive and chatting in Message?

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Ok I've been meaning to make this thread for a while now but held off on it assuming it was just my phone, or maybe even just a small batch of phones. But now that I have noticed a lot of people having the same problem as mine the I feel that it should definitely be addressed and hopefully more people will be more aware of it.

Basically the problem is with the touchscreen while I am typing. Certain keys will just "lock" up and become unresponsive. The most noticeable key would be the "Delete" key. It won't work and would be completely unresponsive, only way it will come back in working form is if I just simply wait, or close/re-open the keyboard. Other keys get affected as well, such as other vowels and the letter "O" is prominent as well. But pretty much almost every key gets affected here and there, the "delete" key is just the most prominent and happens more than the others.

Now the obvious first act would be to pin-point the problem. Various possibilities would be:

- Keyboards fault

- Kernel/ROM's fault

- Or if it's just a manufacture defect

First I thought it was just the stock Android KB's problem, so I'e literally tried almost every mainstream KB out there in the market such as:

- SmartKeyboard Pro

- SwiftKey X

- Flex T9

- Swype

- HTC's Touch Input

- Go Keyboard

And with all of those I still experience the problem. So I counted out the possibility of the KB being the cause of the problem. So then i figured it was the ROM itself, but I've tried numerous ROM's such as Virtual Fusion, Virtual Unity, speedDEMON MIUI, CM7 and it's numerous RC's/Nightly's. And the problem still persisted with all of those ROM's.

The only ROM's I know it doesn't happen on is Royal Ginger 2.1 and the stock T-Mobile mySense build. Also I've had other MT4G's in the past that did not have this problem on any ROM.

That confused me as now I can't tell if the problem is software or hardware related.

Thus, I called TMO for a warranty exchange. The phone I had where the problem happened was good screen with BAD eMMC chip. The new one I just received is good screen with GOOD eMMC. With my new phone the problem still persists.

So basically I would just like to get to the bottom of this problem and see if anyone else is having this problem, and if so please post your issue here as well. I would really like to know if this is just maybe a kernel issue with the latest MT4G kernels that are out, or if it's just another one of the plethora of hardware problems that haunts the MT4G.

====UPDATE====

Okay, so there seems so have been a fix floating around for this and it was DEFINITELY not what I had expected. Credit goes to the dude that found it and for jberg22 for bringing it to the attention in this thread. Here is the thread that you can read up on. I'm not sure if it's a 100% fix but it has been a fix for some. Try it and let us know what your results are! It would be nice to know if this has worked for people with this problem. Here's a picture of what it looks like on our MT4G thanks to Mathato!
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Glad you decided to post about this. Since more and more people are having touchscreen issues, it's definitely becoming a problem. The mystery is why the problem occurs on all ROMs except for RG. Hopefully more people will post here with their issues and we can get this thing nailed down!
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
I had that problem with my first mytouch 4g and then ended up bricking it trying to unroot it...but i've never had a problem with this one.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
never had any problems like this before... did it happen over time? or immediately after you flashed the ROM?
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Pretty much after a day I started to notice it with VU. But it's usually instant. :confused:
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I've been complaining about this for a while. Since it doesn't happen on stock rom I don't know wtf to think.
[myTouch 4G General] Elloco305:
I've definitely seen this,

Some keys lock,

The answer button when receiving a call,

The pull down bar not sticking, for example able to grab it but once sliding it down an inch it goes right back up.

All this on ONLY VU.

No other ROM does this to me, but I stick with it because I love unity! :P
[myTouch 4G General] my2sense:
I wonder if this is happening on 2.3.4 builds only?
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I'm assuming the ota 2.3.4 doesn't have this issue?
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Good question. I have yet to try the official TMO OTA ROM. But I would assume the problem would disappear in that build. I'll probably flash it to check one day.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
If there's at least one build that doesn't have this bug (and which happens to be the original build) - it means that it's SW issue.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I agree. I went back to stock, almost hoping to see the issue appear again, but it didn't.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
I would tend to think so too, but I've run VU since the day it was released with no issues, yet Mackster can't run that ROM because he's unable to type. I think it's possible that within the MT4G production run, there are slight H/W differences somewhere within the phone's internals. I mean, the problem occurs on almost every ROM for him (everything except RG). The problem seems a little more complex than a simple ROM bug.
[myTouch 4G General] cbutt:
This happens on my phone as well. Thought it was just me... it didn't happen on stock mySense, or RoyalGinger 2.1. I'm currently running RoyalGinger 3.0 & it hasn't happened yet. It DOES/DID occur on CM7 (nightly & stables), MIUI, Virtuous unity & virtuous fusion ...

I currently have a mt4g with the good screen & bad eMMC chip...
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
God damn dude, same exact situation as me. What are the odds?? Lol. Weird ain't it?

I have a new phone now with good eMMC and it doesn't happen nearly as much, but still happens a little. :(
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
I don't think it's chance. I think we're onto something here. On phones that have the touchscreen typing problem, it occurs on every ROM except for stock and RoyalGinger. So the question is, what's different about RG? What does it have in common with the stock OTA ROM?
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
I believe RoyalGinger should be considered stock for this discussion - because it's based on stock.

The pattern you're pointing to might mean that there are indeed some HW differences within MT4G production run, that are accounted for by the stock drivers, but aren't accounted for by other drivers.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
How is it based on stock btw? Because isn't RG pretty much like 99% CM7? And I think he said his kernel is based off of Zinx's?
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
I think you're thinking of RoyalGlacier, which is based on mySense. RoyalGinger is an AOSP-type CM7-based ROM. I think you're right that this issue may be driver related. It'd be nice to figure out what's different about the stock and RG drivers, compared to all other ROM's hardware drivers.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I think for the purpose of testing we should roll back to a 2.3.3 build of cm7, because I never noticed this until a couple months ago.
[myTouch 4G General] BRKotucs:
Give this one a try, you wouldn't be disappointed..

Read the OP first before flashing it.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
That's the one I'm on too. Its weird cause Unity is one of the only roms I don't have the problem on but for you its the complete opposite. Are you using any apps to overclock?
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
I've never done this before, are you saying I have to reflash the phone to flash this kernel? I can't just take the phone the way it is now and flash the kernel?

And what exactly is a kernel going to do to fix this. I mean why was THIS solution suggested?
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
The kernel isn't that solution, it was just an idea that some people had..
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
I've tried every kind of keyboard and it's actually somehow getting worse. It used to be only one letter maybe once a day. Now it's every sentence. I'm not really sure what to do. My phone isn't able to type more than two or three letters without freezing up on the keyboard.

Would wiping clean and flashing a different ROM work? Would it work to wipe clean and use the same ROM or maybe even a backup of what I have now? I'm lost, guys, any help would be awesome.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Full wipe helps a lot.
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
But can I do a backup, then full wipe then reload that backup or is this ROM install completely messed up with the keyboard issue?
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Ok, well, did a full wipe, recovered the same backup and the problem is the same. This just isn't working at all. It must be my ROM. I don't know what to do I can barely type anything at all.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
No, that restores the bugs too. You accomplished absolutely nothing.

Full wipe and start from scratch.
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Ok, cool. I didn't know a bad flash was capable of messing up something like the screen responsiveness so badly.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
Do what Phateless says. Only try wiping the system too. To do that, just go to mounts and storage in cwm and do format system. Ever since I started doing this the problem went away. Then flash the rom and start from scratch and let is know what happens.
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Oh man... really? I just reflashed but didn't do the system wipe in mounts and storage. Is it really crucial?
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
Its not crucial. It didn't work for some people. But I used to have the problem just as much as you and ever since I started wiping the system with every flash it went away. Its been a couple months now. So just see what happens and if the keys start sticking again then relash and see if wiping the system helps.
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Ok doing it now.. back in a flash.

...wow...lame.
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Well, I did just as instructed. It's not nearly as bad as it was but it IS still happening. Maybe I should just go back to the Unity version I had when this wasn't happening.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Well that's an improvement. Wiped system, wiped data again after flashing gapps, let it sit for 10 mins on first boot?
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Wiped system and data but didn't flash gapps. Aren't they automatically loaded? Did let it sit, however.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Nope, if you do a full wipe gapps has to be reflashed. If you let it sit you can always go into recovery and flash them now.

Is the keyboard lag any better?
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
So the google apps on the ROM are out of date then?

The lag is totally still there, it's just less. I'm thinking of trying something like the 4Gslide Virtuous. Can't use AOSP, the camera drives me crazy.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Oh sorry, you're flashing a sense rom? Then gapps are probably included. I was thinking cm7.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
I don't know what else to tell you then. I know how frustrating it is cause I was right where you were before, and I was really close to trading this in for a g2x cause of it but then the lag just stopped all of a sudden. Sorry dude..
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Well, I wish I didn't have to give up on Unity 2.39 but my on screen keyboard barely works long enough to operate the phone. I keep having the screen issues. Everything else is fine. I'll have to go back to the 1.29 I was using last week before the problems started. Or try some other ROM I guess. I'd try AOSP but I really hate that camera.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
Alright so get this..

Like I said, I haven't had the problem in around 2 months.

1. Yesterday, I flashed cm7 on my phone for a couple hours and it started happening again. Went back to Unity 2.39 and everything's fine

2. After I had Unity back on my phone, I was outside in the freezibg cold for about 30 minutes talking on the phone. When I came back inside, I couldn't even send a text because every key I touched kept locking up.

I waited like 20 minutes and everything's been fine since then. Weird, right?
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Very weird. Is it possible that introducing CM7 to the phone messes with it somehow? I'm doing FULL wipes though. Shouldn't be any trace left!! But it all started after CM7.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
Was on the phone outside again today for about 20 min and when I went back inside the first text I tried to send locked up the keyboard. Reboot fixed it.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
hahaha maybe the keyboard "froze" :p:p

lol i think i had that issue with unity as well, weird...
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Back on 1.29 and NO keyboard problems.

So strange. Something must be different between the two versions that affects the keyboard in some way. Wrote a whole email to someone today without a single problem on unresponsive keys.
[myTouch 4G General] Ryangyear:
Thanks a lot man! Means a lot to know that i am NOT insane, this problem has been eating me up since i got the phone
[myTouch 4G General] Metastable:
I know I'm digging this thread up but I've recently acquired the MT4G because my HD2's screen died on me and ran into this issue after flashing Creamed Glacier and now the Virtuous ROM. It was also present in the CM7 nightlies.

Anyways, I was doing some LWP development when I saw this:

That bottom portion that is not white transparent is the exact amount of screen area that is unresponsive to touch! It seems to very much be a SW issue as others have stated in this thread.

Have any developments to this issue come up?
[myTouch 4G General] The Archangel:
Have you tried the fix? He posted

Wait a minute, your the dev behind skrillex an daft punk lwp,I was just checking your threads out.

[myTouch 4G General] Metastable:

/*Off topic

Haha, yes I have one because my HD2's screen finally gave out on me =[ */
[myTouch 4G General] aiwapro:
Any solution to this? I'm gonna have to get another phone if this can't be fixed.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
That's why I switched to Sensation. I still have my mt4g but it just sits.
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
I wish I knew of one. It's so weird. My wife has the exact same phone. Exact same apps. Exact same case. Everything. And she has NO problems. I don't have it every time I type a sentence but it does happen often. Pretty much every time I use any kind of typing for an extended period of time. I feel like my fingers have developed certain patterns for dealing with it when it comes up out of nothing more than natural adaptation. :D For example, closing the keyboard and calling it up again fixes it. VERY annoying. I simply don't know what to do anymore and I don't think T-Mobile and HTC would care even if I tried to complain.

I'm at just as a loss as you.
