[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WGSXFrank:
That's what I'm talking about too.

Looking dead on my colors seem perfect. A bit over-saturated... but perfect. I'm only talking about off-center viewing as well.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
I've noticed when scrolling down pages etc that occasionally the touchscreen seems to miss a spot, like it's not sensing any movement in that particular area of the screen, a "deadspot" if you will..

has anyone else noticed a similar occurance? On my Iphone 3GS I noticed no such issues.

The basic concept behind a capacitive screen is that it has a grid dot array, and senses current change between any multiple "nodes" and then registers your input accordingly. If you look at your screen under the sun you will see this grid dot array, with many tens of dots splattered around the screen..

However, I noticed my old iPhone 3GS had a LOT more of these dots on the screen. I'm wondering if it's just my screen protector interfering with touch motions, or if its the fact that the grid array isn't comprehensive enough.

TL;DR

Does anyone notice dead spots on the touchscreen of their Optimus 2X?

Also, I notice I need to aim slightly above my intended target when pressing links and such, does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] ivan666:
No deadspots that I can register, potential culprit could be the kernel you are using.

As for the aiming slightly above issue, I agree with you, if I use my thumb I really aim a bit higher, but if I touch with my pointer finger, it is dead on :)

I cannot compare this touchscreen to iphone because I've never owned one, but responsiveness and precision is as good as on Galaxy S which my brother currently has :)
[LG Optimus 2x] indyjones83:
I have noticed no deadspots or lags (despite of some leaked roms with this particular known issue..)

Compared to my friend's Iphone 4, noticed no difference..
[LG Optimus 2x] karan_singh_9008:
Iphone4 displays are LG displays..so apart from the resolution,everything is same..!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Apart from the resolution, the screen, the digitizer and the screen size? That would seem very different to me.
[LG Optimus 2x] karan_singh_9008:
Well its a 3.5inch in an iphone so yeah the size is def different..:-P

Do i have to spell that out as well :-\
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Lol. Anyway it seems the issue isn't the screen but rather just some apps seem to have this dead spot.
[LG Optimus 2x] karan_singh_9008:
Lol ya..

Can't it be checked if its a hw or sw issue by just flashing ur Rom n in case the prob persists flash ur regions stock Rom ,unroot n go to service centre :-\
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
It smells like a hardware problem. I never had it and I never heard anyone have it. Send it to service.

Actually our touch its pretty good. 10 points of multitouch.

What I remember is that with gr1 rom from modaco if i recall correct some raws on the right side were dead so you couldnt hit "p" easy but that was roms problem. CM or stock are fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] pedromr:
I think you got a bad apple (no pun intended)... I upgraded from iphone 3gs/Xperia x10 to optimus, had the three of them side by side for some time, and the o2x's screen responsiveness is, at very least, on par to iphone 3gs. X10 with wolfbreak's rom was a little bit less responsive, but no compaints about optimus 2x. A dead spot issue looks like a hardware fault.

And sorry for my bad english...
[LG Optimus 2x] S0ci0:
The x10 doesn't even have multitouch, offcourse it's worse :p
[LG Optimus 2x] karan_singh_9008:
Dropped my phone on the ground, display down from about five feet..(it slipped)... no change in performance yet ..!! Its as good as new :)
[LG Optimus 2x] chaos_alex:
gorilla glass rule! ;)

trying different kernels btw, the touch screen performances chages a lot!
[LG Optimus 2x] Mjuksel:
Youre lucky, my friend dropped it from 2 feet and it smashed to bits :o
[LG Optimus 2x] maxoooo:
Apple invests a huge amount of money in marketing, because they are supposedly the best in every activity they are involved, which of course is nonsense! :cool:
[LG Optimus 2x] pedromr:
Yeah, I meant the display felt less responsive/precise, not considering the dual/multitouch capabitities, bcos wasn't the focus of the discussion...
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
What ROM are you using? Maybe you're running some bad kernel with the touch-bug? For example Pauls r23 have it. Try neoblaze. Or if your running a stock rom, what version is it? I think there is one stock with the bug also, not sure.
[LG Optimus 2x] karan_singh_9008:
Haha i guess i was lucky..!! Maybe they make them more robust for India lol..
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
No touchscreen unresponsiveness here
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
My touchscreen is as good as apples too. It's very responsive!:)

Every person saying it's not as good as apple have a bad firmware or a hardware problem, I think.
[Dell Streak 7] geekogenius:
after installing honeycomb (dont matter how?) i can not find wifi network :((

just scanning and find nothing

:(

from R2 version that steve uploaded i had this problem, and today i installed official version, but still scanning and nothing happen !!

somebody help plz
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I don't have this problem. Been running official honeycomb since yesterday and at two different location/router with out any problem. You might have a hardware/driver problem.
[Dell Streak 7] geekogenius:
no, not hardware problem, i do not have any problem with connecting on 2.2.2

just honeycomb
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
You should call Dell support. I am suspecting you have a driver problem.
[Dell Streak 7] Berryblue:
Try rebooting the streak. I didn't have this issue either when I upgraded. I didn't even have to reestablish connection either, it maintained what was already on the tablet. It only removed the apps off but everything else remained including my music.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevdoyle:
I have updated to 2.3.4 and i was in the service menu (press *#*#7378423#*#* ) and it has an option to turn on/off HDMI and also it gives a few setting to mess around with.

So my question is has anybody tried this? or if you have a Micro USB to HDMI cable hanging around can you try it and see if it works.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
No it does not work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevdoyle:
Ahh well

Ahh well it was worth a try. Are you on 2.3.4. It would be awesome if one f the dev could port this.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaun27:
that would be awsome I would donate
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
there is a HDMI port just below the left touchpad, but they concealed it and marketed it as no-HDMI device to avoid further competition with the Arc.. only expo PLAYs have the HDMI port.. besides, if you added HDMI to the Play, it would be the all-around phone overshadowing the arc, which i suppose, is marketing strategy at its best.. :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat_On_Droid:
Sux Bout no hdmi but imo we shoudlve got the panaroma apk

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
Have you torn up your Play to back this up? Or is it that they add this port for a limited batch of demo units and developers?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cl8rs:
Is there seriously an HDMI port under the left touchpad?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:

I dono lot of setting for hdmi and u see fm radio... Lets get that stuff working i got 50 bones to donate to get it done
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
a challenge eh? pretty much the XDA-way, not surprised.. bunch of pricks..

who knows they made it all that way, besides why would they put HDMI settings under *#*#7378423#*#* anyway?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
In which sense is asking for proof being a prick? You need not to tear up your Play yourself, you can show us someone else doing it with his own retail model.

And about why there is an HDMI menu under that code, given that the whole 2011 Xperia range comes with the same architecture, it would be fully unsurprising to find that menu in Xperia Ray, mini, Mango (mini pro), and Active, which are the phones without HDMI capability.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cl8rs:
So Sony Ericsson is hiding HDMI and an FM Radio from us? I have seen the FM Radio app and tried to install it, but it failed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
tones get easily changed by the wind pretty fast, as always..:D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
The FM-Radio app won't ever work as it's disabled at hardware level, though it supports it. You'll need some dev to enable it, prob in a kernel, but don't think it's high on the to do dev/modding list ;)

SE should've had the HDMI on our devices at release, but they chose not to, nothing to do about that really, though it defo would've been nice with that feature :)

If we could all have dev kits. Kudos to any dev that can make that happen.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe500:
Why don't just solder your own HDMI port. If there are connections on the pcb it should be possible.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
Go for it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe500:
Cn't find any disassembly Videos ;) But if you find me some how to maybe I'll try it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
I just googled it and found a total teardown of the play with super clear pictures close up and there is absolutely no hdmi port hidden under the left touch pad on any retail play anybody wanting to try this is out of their minds! Not to mention wasting a perfectly good phone!

here is my xperia play picture and i couldnot find any hdmi port what so ever. i did this to replace my cracked screen by the way not to check but as you guys have doubt about hdmi port in retail play then here is proof.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
There is no hdmi port in retail play. I'm going to solder one to my play this week. Will post back with photo / video / if it works

Goof luck, I look forward to seeing the results. :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
Found all the parts, Its only a matter of time now! Even if the circuit board does not have an official spot to solder hdmi port then were gonna manually route some wires and my company is helping me with the circuit. We found mico hdmi ports from a manufacturer. Soon ill have an xperia play with hdmi!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboybiky:
best of luck with that. just keep updating with your progress

i'll tear down my xperia if it can be done.

going back to the original question, does the mhl cable work on xperia play NOW WITH ANDROID 4.0 SUPPPORT?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightofthe9:
At that point it would just be easier to figure out how to use a wireless game pad and get a different phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
Well sure, but where's then fun of development in that?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaiyes:
Come on mate . lets do this. I have xperia ray. Damn these SE that they didn't give us HDMI port. Please come back with youtube video/pictures-tutorial so we can do it. I am willing to tear down and solder my ray. I wanted to connect pocket projector with my ray. SE Play + Sixaxis controller app + Pocket projector + PS3 controllers, anyone can make have a large screen projected anywhere and have them old school street Fighter games. But problem is....play do not support TV out!!!!!!!!!!!! Lot of talk is going on different threads in xda but we are to still to see it happen.

Come on mate...lets put some micro hdmi port in that play!!!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swebosdev:
I think after all the discussions on this, the only port your going to see with tv out is a port to a different phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
Doubtful. IIRC Sony said that the HARDWARE needs to support it, which this doesn't.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nextron:
So the micro USB to HDMI not-compatibility is a hardware or a software problem? Srry for a stupid question, just curious.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netorino:
It's a hardware problem.

Regular micro USB will only allow charge/data transfer, but to get hdmi-out they should put micro USB with hdmi-out capabilities (which wasn't our case).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
There's a way some how
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CEemaM:
Maybe it can
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
Its a hardware issue. Its is not possible. There is no way.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanchetmy:
so the HDMI port is there just for demonstration purpose? what a waste

it's not a trend in our country even if you have lots of cash.. besides, we don't watch TV a lot because we do most of media viewing in our laptops and desktops

is that a discriminating comment? then **** you
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
My 2 cents... Your comment is kinda silly. Almost claiming that you do more viewing in ur laptop or desktop then others seems pointless as most people today do the same. I would say the big hd tv thing is outa hand but also neither here nor there.

I think the guy was being sarcastic I'm not defending him and/or his possibility of discrimination towards another. But at the same time is f you really needed as a comment in a cell phone forum?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
i referred to my family by saying we don't watch TV a lot, not all of us in our country, hollowhead..

besides, our work requires us to be on our computers almost all of the time.. that rules out the need for a badass TV since we spend most of our time on computers.. i think that's pretty simple.. you just can't compare and contrast your lifestyle with another person because at times you also have to consider socio-economic factors.. that's what i ****in hate in you first world countries

and oh, what good is it if he was only being sarcastic as compared to discriminating? it's being a ****, and you're being a **** whether you're being sarcastic or discriminating

PS, your english sucks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulllen666:
chill out guys

The flat screen comment was not necessary, but probably more silly than discriminatory

Narflynn619 I think you have reacted abit too strongly, although I do understand why
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
Edit: realizing that this is clearly pointless to debate and to continue would only fuel more useless thread pages, Goodluck an good day.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtomicKoala:
I dont think its unfair to assume that someone who has a fancy smartphone has a HD TV, whatever the country they are in. Obviously a lot of people dont appreciate that their situation may be different to others outside their country/region. Using derogative terms to describe someone isnt generally acceptable anywhere in a context like this.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trooper_Max:
They have some whitepapers here:

http://analogix.com/technology/index.html

The slimport whitepaper makes it apparent that the phone/device will have to be SlimPort enabled, even though it uses the same 5-pin micro-USB connector. I would not count on being able to enable the SlimPort technology via software. I would bet that it has to be enabled in the hardware ie the circuitry of the micro-USB handler. This is the same problem we have with MHL. Of course, if I'm wrong on this, I will gladly rejoice with the rest of ya'll!
