Cause its a friggin phone. Also the time it takes to integrate CPU + modem + wireless optimization + the price of refining the device.
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
As I recall the GNex is only around $100 more expensive than the 16 GB N7 in the Play Store. Unfortunately the GNex is not available for us Canucks at that price.

Idk cuz mobile carriers are jackasses. Cellphones are basically as bad as buying a bottle of water.
[Nexus 7 General] foxmeister:
Specifically with respect to the Nexus 7, there is very little profit on the device.

Google expects to make money by selling you apps, books, music, films etc and from other services.

Asus are almost certainly in it for the kudos it gives to their brand - if the Nexus 7 wasn't a Nexu device, it would be at least 25% more expensive.

[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
Because we aren't willing to pay that much.

Simple as that.

The manufacturers tried selling $400 or $500+ tablets, and they're pretty much flopping. Tablets just aren't considered as necessary as phones, so none of them (save the ipad) got enough momentum to take off.

They then discovered that we are willing to pay $200 or $300 for a popular brand, so that's where we're at now.

This is a good thing (ipad users aside). It means we'll start to get more bang for our buck, because us consumers as a whole were picky enough. Now all that's left to do is to become even more picky, so they're forced to sell for $100.

[HTC Incredible S] MrToastbrot:
Hi all

I recieved the Update to ICS on 2. July. I was very happy about it and it is really great. But I recognized 2 problems:

-Preformance is not the best

and

-the touch doesn't always recognize more than 1 finger.

What I did to fix:

I tried a hard reset and it fixed the performance, but not the touch.

When does the bug appear:

Often, but not always. Sometimes it works fine and then it doesn't work properly

When I play games, some games needs to tap at varius points on the touch. When I fast tap then the touch doesn't always recognize any fingers. With 1 finger, the touch works fine, with 2 fingers, it doesn't always work.

I attached a link to show how the touch doesn't always work.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4910238/IncSTouchbug.mp4

I started the thread to find other people who have the same problem. At the moment I'm writing with the htc support, and I hope that I find more people who has the same problem, so I can give him the link and they try to fix that annoying bug.

i hope I'm not the only one out there and we and HTC can find a fix.

best regards

MrToastbrot
[HTC Incredible S] Luckyone199:
Hi MrToastbrot. I have the same issue, after getting OTA 4.0.4 update, from HTC. I noticed the problem early, so I've been searching all over the web to find some solutions, but couldn't find any.

Please write a message, if HTC Support does give you some useful information about this problem. ;)

Best regards

Luckyone.
[HTC Incredible S] Kams84:
My Incredible S acts similar, if it is touched by 4 fingers - then fingers on screen are detected "jumping", like in video. That continues even when only 1 finger is still on screen, but ends when nothing touches the screen.
[HTC Incredible S] Luckyone199:
I would post a link of google ''android issues'' page, but I can't because of ''Spam protection''.

The thing I wanted to say is, that this problem doesn't only concern HTC users, but it appers on, for example, Galaxy Nexus with different android versions too.

One guy wrote : ''I've heard people claim its something to do with the digitizer losing calibration when getting hot and that locking and unlocking the device recalibrates it.''

Still waiting for solution.

Edit : p.s. yeah - factory reset didn't help it.

Edit2: ....or it did? Right after factory reset, i tested the multitouch - it still wasn't working. After I downloaded some apps, I decided to test it again, just in case, and it seems to be working now. O_o.

Edit3: It seems, that the theory about digitizer getting hot is true. A minute after I plugged my phone to charger the multitouch stopped working properly. Sad. Well, I guess we will have to wait some updates from HTC, or put our phones in a fridge or something.

Cheers!
[HTC Incredible S] Luckyone199:
ALMOST Solution found!

All we can blame is HTC Sense. You see - when you unlock the phone, the locker(sense locker) does something to make multitouch not working.

When you go to the ''Apps'' menu in ''Settings'' and Force Kill HTC Sense(the one with green HTC logo), touch screen starts working flawlessly again.

After you lock and unlock screen again - it won't be working.

The thing is - I'm a bit afraid to disable Sense permanently.

Let me know if this work for you guys.

Cheers.

Edit : Force Stop ''HTC Sense'' with launcher logo too. I'm really confused, because I can't understand what Stock Launcher has to do with multi-touch issues...
[HTC Incredible S] MrToastbrot:
Nice, so we have only to wait until htc fix this bug. But one question:

Why does HTC Sense affect, that the touch isn't working correct in games?
[HTC Incredible S] Luckyone199:
Solution, I think, is to do HARD reset. Atleast it's working fine now in ''MultiTouch Visualizer 2''. Haven't tried in games.

:good:

Note: This will return your device to its original factory settings(all the data from internal storage will be removed).

- With the phone turned off, press and hold the Volume Down key;

- With the Volume key held down, press and release the Power key;

- Release the Volume down key;

- Press the Volume down key twice to highlight FACTORY RESET/CLEAR STORAGE;

- Press and release the Power key;

- Press the Volume up key to factory reset the handset;

The phone is restored to factory settings.

:good:

EDIT: GOSH, I'm sick of trying every freaking thing. Doesn't work with Hard reset!!!!

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

The problem is inside HTC's kernel, so we can't really do anything about it.

And I think I will go for a custom kernel, because HTC will take it's time to fix this and realese update.

Cheers.
[HTC Incredible S] MrToastbrot:
I tried a hard reset 1000 times and it doesn't work. I just think, the htc developers are noobs lvl infinity and the devs on xda are real pro's ;)

We have to wait until htc releases the kernel source and the xda devs fix this bug :D

[HTC Incredible S] hotdenio:
Any news on the touchbug yet?

I'm experiencing the same problem.

When I type fast (with two fingers) in Wahatsapp or SMS, the keyboard starts acting weird.

On a HTC Rhyme with ICS and Sense 3.6 (frow htcdev.com) everything runs smoothly. (same processor and resolution as htc incredible s).

So it's bug specific on HTC Incredible S ICS/Sense 3.6 software.

Has anyone received news yet or contact with htc about this? It's pretty annoying and I would think that HTC should issue a patch to resolve this.

[HTC Incredible S] Luckyone199:
False. Just flashed Nik Project X v4.1 with HTC Sense 4.0.

Multi-touch bug is gone, even though they use stock kernel. I guess the problem was in HTC Sense 3.6.

P.s. ROM is working flawlessly. Best rom I've ever had. :laugh:
[HTC Incredible S] Drugzy:
I'm also facing the multi touch prob using niks project x v4.0, with lost prophets Kernel

Cheers
[HTC Incredible S] Luckyone199:
I'm getting tired. And anything I could say now is - ''What the f**k?''

Multitouch was working on Nik Project X v4.1 fine until.. I don't know really.

And now, when I want to get it working again, I randomly change some settings or force close some apps(for example ''Media Link HD setup'') it starts working again, but, unfortunately - not forever.

Trying to find solution, but can't find any.

Begging for solution... :laugh:

Peace!:eek:

p.s. Multitouch is working in some apps. For example N.O.V.A 3, but not working in other apps, like Jet Car Stunts, Gangstar Rio: City of Saints, MultiTouch Visualizer 2 etc. Zooming in browsers and something like that works fine.
[HTC Incredible S] drcrazy91:
can't type "P" or "0" on keyboard. dead spot on touch screen.

I can't type the alphabet "P" or "0" on sense 3.6 Rom.

and on sesne 4 rom, can't type "0" ( P is working)

With show touches & pointer location from dev option, clearly about 1 cm of touch screen is not working. (no touch show beyond 1 cm of right margin.)

take a look at pic, pls.

Because of dead spot, I can't type alphabet "P" and "0" and can't play some game like https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5lY2FweWNzdy5vbmV0b3VjaGRyYXdpbmciXQ..

[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
One of the reasons you may be rooting your Nitro might be to remove bloatware. At least, that was the main reason for me.

Anyway, after you root and go about customizing and deleting apps, you will likely find yourself rebooting and being greeted by an LG logo and the words "Security Error". Then you go through the terrible motions of unbricking your phone and trying again only to brick it once more.

Well, after bricking my phone a good 30 times, I have found a solution. Here it is:

DO NOT UNINSTALL ALL AT&T SYSTEM APPS

There you have it. It seems that AT&T has set up their ROMs to verify that all system apps are intact at boot. If they are not, they assume that the ROM has been tampered with. Of course, this does not mean that you can't freeze these apps. I used Titanium Backup to freeze these apps.

When I finished customizing my Nitro, I booted into ClockWorkMod Recovery and made a backup. Each time I bricked my phone while testing this, I just restored that backup. I've also kept the backup on my SD card just in case.

Here is a list of the apps that I have found will brick your Nitro if removed:

AT&T Address Book (Safe to remove with v20c update)

AT&T Navigator (Safe to remove with v20c update)

Google Play Books* (Safe to remove with v20c update)

Google Play Movies*

Google Play Music (Safe to remove with v20c update)

Google Play Store/Market

*I have found that these ones will defrost on reboot.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
i can tell you for a fact that 90% of those are safe to remove and I have done so.

Yep, most of those are safe to remove. I have security error only then tried to install CWM from leaked firmware.

[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:

I'd be happy to edit my list if you can provide a list of the ones you have removed.

I removed these without any problems. For me, it was one of Google play movies or books that gave the security error
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
AT&T Address book was the first one I tried. It bricked it a couple days ago and it just bricked it just now.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
that and google movie are the bad ones. all the others uninstall without issue.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Ok, I'm making a ClockWorkMod backup right now and will give the others another try.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
I think I need to point out that I'm pretty sure mattman86 is talking about experiencing the secure boot error while on the one-click installation ICS leak whereas people replying to him are using the CWM-flashable ICS leak. I could be wrong, though.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
I have actually gotten the error with the CWM version also. Just not as often.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
my comments are based on my experience with both.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Ok, I did some more testing and am going to edit my list now.

Thank you all for your input so far and input to come. This really is a great community to be a part of!
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
i'm quoting your updated list here. ;-)

this is a pretty safe list. you might try using root explorer to nav over to those apk's and change the perms & delete.

i don't mind the address book and the store is certainly required but those others, ugh.
[LG Nitro HD] Wlld1:
Just tested. On 20c only one app that bricking device is Google Play Movies :laugh:. Books and Music are safe to remove. I did not try to remove Play Store.
[LG Nitro HD] ahdoublexl:
Is Address Book safe to remove?
[LG Nitro HD] aaki_rocker:
yep i always remove at&t addressbook using tibu !
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:

[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
No, ADB doesn't work in download mode. You have to unbrick to get it working.
[LG Nitro HD] d0cx:
Bad luck. I now hate LG phones. My gf's phone had this issue trying to remove a system app. Only way to fix it is by unbricking. There seems to be no way to access the recovery feature like on HTC phones. sucks pretty bad.

EDIT: Actually... if you have CWM installed, you can press Volume Down + Power key until the Factory Erase prompt appears, then hit Power button twice and it will take you to CWM recovery and restore from latest backup. Saves time.
[LG Nitro HD] pda2renew:
Actually I rooted the p930 before run the ROM manager and flash the CWM using ROM manager. Then I removed google play movie and got the "security error".

However, when I do "factory reset" it shows "long time no see" ??? and stuck.

Anyone know how to solve this without "unbrick" method?

BTW, I didn't flash any ROM yet.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
That's a negative, you'll have to do the unbrick method. Sorry to say Rom Manager is doing a disservice to users like yourself by allowing you to flash CWM with the locked ICS bootloader. Thank Koush with a nice review on Google Play ;)

Really the unbricking method isn't that hard. Just follow the instructions closely. Once you're back on GB (and therefore the unlocked GB bootloader) you can install CWM and then choose to install HO!NO!'s flashable v20c or upgrade to a nice JB based rom such as CM10 or ParanoidAndroid.
[LG Nitro HD] pda2renew:
Thanks for the comment,

Went thru the unbricking method but no luck. The program jump from 4% to 90% and the screen still has "security error". Try re-started the process couple of times and checked the settings as well. In one last try, change v10f to v20c_00.kdz, then it can flash to 100% and no more "security error". The phone is alived in ICS but still can't flash back to v10f in download mode. That means it can't get ride of locked bootloader!!!

Anyone can help in my case?
