I removed the 3.2 cab and installed the original settings cab, just prior to loading the new 3.3 version but I noticed the original settings cab doesn't actually return my keyboard to the original factory settings. Is it supposed to do - or is it purely the 'original version' of your keyboard tweak? :confused:

EDIT to ask, is it possible to attach a cab of the original factory settings? Typing is a joy with the reduced sensitivity cab attached. Good work! You have transformed the device.
[HD2 General] adolfotregosa:
the original cab is the original device values!
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Well when I uninstall the 3.2 or 3.3 cab, soft reset, then install the original cab and soft reset....my handset still has some kind of keyboard tweak compared to fresh out of the box. I know because I did it this afternoon. :confused:
[HD2 General] kaostheory:
whoah works for me

3.3 reduced sensitivity cab installed, this is how the keys should have worked out of the box

its accurate like the swype keypad when used in single keypress mode. nice work big thumbs up from me. not had one false m k or l! from the delete key.
[HD2 General] bullerd:
dude thats amazing - thanks!!

Scary though how the phone is completely unusable without this cab. I had ghost letters, out of control key repeat and super sensitivity. Typing was just impossible - was taking 10 minutes to write each SMS then eventually I would have thrown a £500 phone at the wall! Was going to send it back. HTC are crazy for letting this sh1t out of the door. Need some quality control or everyone will think HTC / winmo just doesn't work and they will go and buy an iphone.
[HD2 General] chakraa2:
I have specially logged in to say THANKS to you:).I was so disappointed with the excess screen sensitivity that i was even thinking of getting rid of it,but you just made my day mate.Although there are quite a few tweaks which kind of do the same job of decreasing the sensitivity ,yours is the best.

THANKS A LOTTT
[HD2 General] audscott:
That's what we're here for. :D
[HD2 General] steveman29:
this improves the phone a lot. The only problem that i noticed is that when i use pinch zoom diagonally in album or opera, the whole screen jumps at first. This does not happen with the default settings.

Manufacturing fault

I'd like to post an update regarding the touch-screen bugs.

I brought my HD2 back to my retailer (Mobitel, Slovenia) reporting a manufacturing fault due to shaking screen bug and "heart attack" lines in notes. They examined the device (and gave me a SonyErricson T650i as a temporary replacement :mad:) and they called me back after 3 days confirming the fault. Now I can choose between the replacement device and a full refund. I think I will opt for a new HD2. With no bugs hopefully. ;)

The reason why I am writing this is because you don't have to apply this or any other fix - you can go straight to your retailer requesting the replacement. It is a hardware fault.
[HD2 General] adolfotregosa:
well in 4 hd2 that i've played all had it so. ..

or i have a really bad luck or it's not a hardware fault.

when your new replacement comes, use it for a couple of days and post results then.
[HD2 General] paulnadams:
could I also add a big thank you for this - got the phone just before Christmas and really liked the look of it but found the keyboard unbearable, alongside the fact that the browser would zoom around crazily with one slight swipe of the screen.

Registered on this forum to try it out and get other tips from you guys.

Cab 3.3 was just what I needed - hardly have any wrong text now when I write and everything just feels much more controllable. I finally am getting to love this handset now.

All I need to try and work out now is how to remove outlook and re-install, but you have given me the faith to work on that issue.

Thanks again - really appreciate all the stuff you have shared on this site x
[HD2 General] Bakedbread:
had to post here too about my experiences

ive been using BSB tweaks with the reduced sensitivity tweak for a while, but lately i was making tons of mistakes in SMS. Funny letter selection jumping around..

I tried 3.3 reduced sensitivity cab a week ago, and soft reset, but for some reason had no difference so i uninstalled

I got pretty frustrated yesterday when typing a SMS so i tried installing the cab again...

This time i think it worked ? (or im just crazy)

but it REALLY seems like the sensitivity is much better

I am RARELY making ANY mistakes when typing now! it's GREAT!

Again, much thanks to OP, this has helped in so many ways :)
[HD2 General] leobox1:
question.. after installing 3.3 with reduced, do i need to reinstall after every screen alignment process?
[HD2 General] leobox1:
anyone kind enough to advise? thanks!
[HD2 General] sunking101:
I can see no reason why you would need to.....but then it would do no harm whatsoever if you did, so suck it and see!
[HD2 General] hilmir:
reduce time for numbers

on HTC keyboard, i need to press on a button for around 3 seconds for the number to appear (ex: i press Q button for 3 seconds to get number 1). how can i reduce this time?
[HD2 General] sunking101:
I don't think you can and besides, there are that many issues with the keyboard that I certainly don't want random numbers thrown into the mix! :D
[HD2 General] Archer:
The only way to do it quicker is to turn on number & symbol mode (12#), enter the number you want, and then go back to letter mode (ABC).
[HD2 General] kolomnik:
I had these typical issues with my device screen as well. Suddenly 2 weeks ago screen stopped reacting at all(I guess cold weather killed it :-))). I contacted technical service and they have replaced touch screen. Now it works a litle bit better with a keyboard, but still "heart attack" lines are there. So I can't belive that this is hw fault. What is also interesting is that on russian from 4pda.ru for this device there is a topic "hw problems". And I saw quite a lot of posts regarding:

1) noticed unequal screws pressure -when you press hard on the screen in different places sometimes you may see typical feedback reaction from LCD display in some place and on some places you see nothing.

They have adjusted screws and they claims it works better. I don't know about that, but I do notice LCD screen feedback if I press on upper side of the screen and I don't see it when I press on the down side of it.

2) sometimes alignment of capacitive surface is not correct in compare to lcd screen. So that's why some of us probably can type on keyaboard unless we do screen align process.

Anyhow all things are quite disturbing and I guees we have problems with it just because our screen is damn big :-) So easiest way is to use this tweak and not think about this issues anymore.

[HD2 General] djet:
Which registry setting could be tuned to reduce the "shaking screen" problem?
[HD2 General] mgear:
Hmm i found a true suprise in the new radio and sms patch 2. Before i had problems with the n and the m and backspace. Sometimes they tended to go on and on automaticly. After applying the second sms patch and the new radio the keyproblems where gone. Perhabs did they put a part of your patch in the new rom or sms patch? Would be interesting to find out.
[HD2 General] jaqubek:
I just installed v3.2 with reduced sensitivity and it works great.I was about to throw my HD out of window but now I think I'll keep it :)

Well done mate!!!
[HD2 General] tcc13:
Wow. Installed 3.3 with reduced and it's like night and day. I still have to get used to typing on this thing (first touch screen phone) and am still getting some mistyped words but MUCH better.
[HD2 General] Thuggie:
amazing! It's so much better now!
[HD2 General] Russian76:
HW problem/ why to apply makeshift solutions?

I'm on stock O2 ROM, have had the unit since 14th of January and unfortunately it's been exibiting all the well-known bugs (ghost key presses, studdering while exploring Internet, ECM effect while trying to draw straight lines in notes, ...). I was hoping this to be a SW problem, until after I saw my friend's unit behaving flawlessly (without any patches). I took him along to my O2 dealer and we asked the lady to write down a simple sentence "this is a test message to try to find the difference". The gist? His unit is flawless without any tweaks at all!!!! No doubt that this tweak has been helpful, but I can type on my friends unit the same way as I do on my unit, but after the 3.2 fix has been applied. So the facit is, I've decided to claim the warranty with my O2 dealer and now my unit is gone to their contractual service parter and I'm eagerly wating what the service's position will be. I'll keep you posted once the unit arrives repaired/ replaced. But to sum it up, my friend's unit hasn't got any tweaks (not even the lowered sensitivity), still I can type a lot more surely that with my unit after all the tweaks have been applied. Guys, I'm afraid some of us simply got bad units. Problem is, though, that my friend's unit's S/N is the same as mine (bar the last 3 digits!!). He didn't get from O2,though. His display in the right bottom hand corner doesn't protrude as mine (1 mm). Perhaps this protrusion toward the casing could be indicative if your unit is going to suffer the bugs (EKG, ghost presses, shaking screen, ...). I'll let you know, how I fared with my O2 replacement...
[HD2 General] waxfresh:
Thanks alot man!!

3.3 works like a charm! It was horrible before but now.. thanks!
[HD2 General] leobox1:
are there any more improvement coming for this great tweak??
[HD2 General] mofei1:
nice work dude, worked a treat!! can type so much faster and accurately now :D
[HD2 General] Russian76:
Have put it to another thread, but after my lcd has been replaced - had the all the bugs such as painting edge, ecg, ghost presses - I can type without any problem and don't have any tweaks, not even the je decreasing sensitivity of touchscreen In my case, I've had a fauly unit, no doubt. Martin
[HD2 General] thierryjc:
Hi,

No more misstyping now.

with:htc touch_screen_3.3_test_reduced_sensitivity.cab + BsB reduce sensibility

Many thanks

Very good work

I have the problems you mentioned - and Virginmobile will exchange this unit as is is only 18 days old.

I would be interested in the "thread" you metioned above.

[HD2 General] Zmaz1ng:
ehm hey guys!

i have a strange problem...

i press the delete button and it doesn´t delete but it switching automatically to other keys without doing sth.

so i cannot delete a word but it writes different types of letters...
[HD2 General] Russian76:
The other thread I was reffering to is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=595655
[HD2 General] Russian76:
I too had this bug and all the others such as painting edge and ecg, but obvisously these ghost presses was the most annoing one.

Check if your unit hasn't got other bugs desdcribed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=595655 and if that happens be the case (deinstall any desensitifying tweaks before trying, though) go for a replacement. I did so two weaks ago and after the authorized service has replaced the LCD, I'm now absolutely contented with how the unit behaves. No tweaks at all!!
[HD2 General] jackielo:
Working great now!

htc touch_screen_3.3

Hello,

how works htc touch_screen_3.3?

I installed this utility, but I can not see this program in a folder,

but I can see it in the list of delete programs.

Then I looked into the touch_screen_3.3..cab and I saw

<characteristic type="HKLM\HARDWARE\Setting\TouchPanel">

But on my HD2 I can not find tis key.

I have "HKLM\HARDWARE

but not "HKLM\HARDWARE\Setting

I have the ROM 1.48.207.2

Thanks

[HD2 General] leobox1:
can someone be kind enough to guide the various registry keys that control the sensitivity etc? will like to do some self tweaking.. anyone pls?
[HD2 General] leobox1:
anyone? it will be much appreciated...
[HD2 General] cefalu55:
thank you

Thank you for the cab.

cefalu55:)
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
Using 3.3 with reduced, only trying it as have some crazy spiking going on while swyping, doesn't happen all the time but does piss me off. Your CAB is working so far extremely well.

You my good man are a frecking genius.

Kudos to you :)
[HD2 General] fruchtfliege:
no words..

this is absolutely awesome! i had a lot of problems with swype (backspace always writes "mm" and second function of a key - long press hasn't worked) but with 3.3 (no sensitivity decrease) it almost works flawless!!! everything is working fine, just some "zick-zack" lines from time to time which seems to be an error of my touchscreen itself.

it's not overstated when i say this is the best improvement for my hd2 - it makes it so much more useful and let me write faster WITHOUT correcting anything.

thank you very, very much for this tweak! kind regards from germany.
[HD2 General] squiros1976:
Great!!!!!

This 3.3 CAB is just Amazing! i can type now without the use of the backspace key all the time!!

it should be included on all production HTC HD2 phones.. thanks!!!

:D
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
jesus christ!

im using 3.3 without reduced sensitivity

i dont know what the hell you changed but im typing without XT9 on full QWERTY and i must say..im kicking ass! :D
[HD2 General] madbird:
very well done

hi, i didnt know that my screen has issues at all, im using fingerkeyboard and thats fine for me. but than i install swype and everything changes. i can swype fine but getting the second keys or type like on a normal keyboard was like a pain in the ass.

i gave up on it already, found your cab today, tried 'htc touch_screen_3.3_test.cab', and its a fantastic result, swype now works like a charm, thank you very much for it.

regards mad.
[HD2 General] trojanmate:
Adolfo, man u r a fone saver. Great job
[HD2 General] zerosimms:
Excellent work thank you very much!

I was having issues with this and BBtweaks didnt seem to make much difference but your fix certainly has. Keys are less "responsive" and much more accurate.

I used swype for a while and could see the trail jumping all over the show, Ill re-install it and try again but already I can see the difference!
[HD2 General] darken_rahl:
great

whow! great app. I almost trew the damn thing trough the window. Typing was nearly impossible at times, very irritating. Now it is much better; thx!
[HD2 General] Sichroteph:
Wow great work! I hesitated before installing ver3.3 because I didn't think I had a real problem, I thought it was hardware and I have to live with that... Now slideit make perfect smooth lines and I have an iphone feeling, I didn't thought it was possible anymore thank you so much you solved the biggest hd2 problem !!
[HD2 General] Byggeren:
+1

The accuracy of the keyboard is massively improved!

HD2 with Artemis 7.0 NOR.
[HD2 General] kamycrs:
thanks buddy much much better now! ;)
[HD2 General] mdmhd2:
It seems that I can type faster now. Wow!

Anyway, does this cab fix/change something with the battery?

I had 34% of battery before I soft-resetted. Then 45%...
[HD2 General] qllkevuoi:
Simply fantastic!!

Bye Bye schizophrenic keyboard!

Mate, you're a genius!

Can I post your solution on an italian forum, to share it with other HD2 owners?

Obviously, I will say that the merit of this solution is yours!

I think HTC developers should learn from you, and your registry modifications should be the default!

Thanks a lot!
[HD2 General] acky85:
Please can we make this sticky! I have had this issue for ages I have made various registry edits from posts Ive seen about but I have totally missed this post until someone pointed it out.

Possibly the greates .cab I have installed yet! Thanks!!!!
[HD2 General] bugmenever:
Has a T-Mobile US (stock ROM) user tried this?

I don't seem to have any sensitivity issues per-se but accuracy of typing is another thing. I'd love to be able to get better :D
[HD2 General] akaotikpnoy:
3.3 makes the screen move slower than what I' m used to but also gets rid of the screen jitters. Typing is much easier and less input errors. Nice cab. Thanks for sharing.
[HD2 General] Damool:
Is it perfectly uninstalable? I would like to know for sure that if i uninstall it, all values it changed will be reseted to the previous ones. I just feel i have the perfect ROM now, and not willing to Hard-Reset ;)

Thanks in advance for answering :D
[HD2 General] Thuggie:
yes it is :)
[HD2 General] leejiahui:
Good FIX~!

really good fix! i am able to type alot faster now. Was on the verge to changing a custom keyboard layout
[HD2 General] Paladin238:
Does this cab fix the " i pressed the damn space bar why didn't it put a space" problem?

or the, why is the keyboard lagging all of a sudden" problem. and last of my problems. the" why isn't it inputting what im typing, but press send and it all really was imputed"

never mind after trying this .cab and soft-reset it just froze after typing two words and wouldn't continues.
[HD2 General] HTCHD2_2010:
I read heaps of forum and applied numerous tweaks to eventually got

to a stage where i am quite happy with my keyboard behaviour but

not a 100% until I stumbled on this thread.

Was a bit sceptical but thought I backed up my original registry in case things

turned sour, tried install the cab here and it was certainly much more accurate

where you don't always get the nearby letters even though you sworn that

you did touch on the correct letter but the HD2 keyboard display the neighbouring letter so annoying.

Now i am a whole lots more confident when typing and feel at least my HD2

touch keyboard is not too far behind Iphoners ...

Thanks to you for find this out.

[HD2 General] HTCHD2_2010:
Is this exactly the same tweaks HTC people use as what is done here?

Is it any better or worst ?

Anyone try yet?

Anyway, they waited until now to give us a solution, that is not

acceptable!!!!
[HD2 General] hoenderd:
thank you

I installed htc touch_screen_3.3_test_reduced_sensitivity.cab and I must say this is much better as original, finaly I can manage to send a sms or mail without typo's in it, thank you
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
I'll second that! :D
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
I'll triple that!!!

Both last two files are awesome making the touchscreen experience out of this world. Swype works amazingly well now.

Wow just wow!!!
[HD2 General] adaduk:
Yup same here. My HD2 is now usable!!!
[HD2 General] davidcopus:
Certainly improves Swype

Well adolfotregosa, I think I'm indebted too.

I've only just applied those reg changes (did it manually as curious to see what you were changing) and certainly Swype's long-presses work, and they didn't before. That's an objectively measurable outcome, and a positive one at that! Well done, old bean.

Furthermore, the default full qwerty keyboard feels much more secure. The only thing that has pissed me off about the HD2, compared to my old iPhone, was the touchscreen glitches, and although I've only given it a few minutes, typing now feels much more like the iPhone, and not so "oh no, here we go...let's hope" like it did before.

Shaky-screen syndrome appears to have gone too.

If after a while my opinion changes, I'll post again here - but I concur with the rest - you are a good man indeed :D Thank you for taking the time to work out the changes necessary

PS - for those browsing, I 'installed' the htc touch_screen_3.3_test.cab
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
This is a GREAT cab and makes the typing much better. Am using your latest test cab. However I have to agree with some others that even though it has a smaller screen, the iphone keyboard is WAY better. I honestly thinh it is because it has a larger ghost area for each key. Can you modify the ghost area for each key press and maybe our HD2 keyboard will be on par with the iphone one. There must be a reg entry surely. FYI for others, the ghost area is the amount of active area covered outside a specific key (overlap) to register as the key press for that specific key.

PS Such a great cab I will post it on my Hints and Tips thread as this should be installed by default on every single HD2 in the world. Are you listening HTC???

Hey, I have installed this app but, you missed to tell everyone that one should install .Net 3.5 to run this app. Well, I did and so far it makes sense.

Also, it makes sense to develop an app for filtering calls too...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Yeah my bad, well thanks for pointing out will update it..

And i think call filtering apps are already there...well not sure but seen lot of stuffs like these.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Luigi_Follina:
Thank you soo much

:D I was looking for this application since a long time! Cannot wait to test it!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Luigi_Follina:
First bug

It is not a blocking bug, but something that can be enached.

I saw that the program looks among my Outlook contact and makes a match with the Outlook calendar events, which is fantastic.

But for the contacts that have also a "Middle Name", for some reasons, the program creates a new calendar event and basically does not consider the already present events.

I dont know is I wrote correctly the bug; I hope so.

Many Thanks!

Ciao!

FACEBOOK

This is an awsome application but I was wondering if something could be intigrated into facebook to allow people to send a message to friends on there who list thier numbers and birthdays... NOW that would sell a million ;-) Like Moonpig.com but for Mobiles lol... also maybe choose a preset picture message too... just a few things to get ya teeth sunk into this xmas
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Yes i was expecting that, as it looks for the first and the last name only...

i think it should satisfy almost all names, so i overlooked that.

and one more thing even if it overlooks the already added events it might not trigger sms for those as they were not added thru this application.

so u might have to delete the already present (birthday)events which were not created using this and then run add contacts from this app again
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
ya nice idea but for that i need a facebook account first...:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Luigi_Follina:
That is absolutely fine with me! Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Zaiaku:
Great app, just the idea alone makes it incrdible. Send a text msg and don't even have to be awake to do it lol.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
yes this is true. but thanks to idea from this forum
