Hey guys Iv got this installed on my ATRIX and it seems the game runs fine... but... the controls are really messed up... as in related to responsiveness... like the controls get stuck in a certain position or they all a sudden become too sensitive and turn you 180 degrees or something extremely annoying like that...
Am I the only one having this problem...??
Also I was reading in some other threads the Atrix apparently has some issues registering a touch when you hold your finger on it, it stops responding...?? Iv noticed this as well on a few other games... like gangster...
If this is true then it makes this tegra device pretty much useless for gaming if it can't get the controls right...
By the way the all used was for tegra devices...

I've never had any problems with that. And the touch responsiveness is a feature that is supposed to happen when there is a raindrop or something on the screen. its supposed to no longer register it. some people have said it happens with their fingers but personally I've never had that problem and i game quite a bit on my atrix.

The easy way to see it happen is in Angry Birds. Open a level in AB and pull back the sling shot. Don't let go, just hold your finger there. Somewhere between 15 and 20 seconds the bird will launch with your finger in the same spot you held it.

Currently, no. Motorola fails... HARD. I can only hope Google will make some changes because disabling touch input is surely not the way to compete against Apple. The raindrop "feature" is just plain brutal abysmal stupidity without boundaries. They should fire the jackass who implemented this because he completely ruined gaming on Atrix for at least 50% of the games out there.

It doesn't ruin gaming, it just makes you make a conscious effort to lift your finger for a ms to get control back. The first game I had a real problem with was Pew Pew. It's a Geometry Wars clone. Gotta lift your your thumbs for a second to start moving and shooting again. I'm optimistic that the folks working on the CM7 port will figure out a way to disable it.

Actually I would say my problem is worse than whatever your talking about... in the sense that holding the finger there for a while then it not working is fine... but what's happening alot is the thing becomes either too responsive or stops responding... that is for me the main problem... say I was trying to aim at someone in any fps... all a sudden it would just throw me pointing at the ceiling ... or im walking straight and let go to stop... it will keep walking forward... that makes it unplayable...

So I just signed up in this forum just so I can post my findings. I would like everyone to be aware of the issue. I spent and hour and a half with tech support (supprisingly the best I have ever had and usually never call tech support) making sure there wasn't something I was missing, Or yet hopefully here someone could chime in and help. I have a Motorola Elecrify from us cellular which I take it as basically the same as the photon 4g. Which I also have rooted. I have access to a non rooted phone and same thing is occuring. What is going on is When you use a emulator lets say john nes light and playing a nes game like super mario bros and hold the dpad left or right button for about 8 secs it stops you have to release the button for a good sec and than you can press it again. If you do it to quick you press the button go forward and than stop. Any app or game that you hold the button down for a few seconds it stops. A great free game to test is called zombie village. Just press and hold forwar and you will see exactly what I am talking about. Like I said any game will do this. Its just not this game. I had the Galaxy S and none of this happens. Only with the Electrfies. Any ideas? Thanks and sorry for the long post.
Yep I see this frequently with on screen controls that require you to continue to hold the screen. Galaxy on fire comes to mind, pacman too. But I've learned to tap quickly instead of hold lol. Its a nuisance.

I don't believe that this is a Photon/Electrify-specific issue. Can someone confirm?
Also, seeing as you are the only Electrify user on here, is there any way that you can upload a full system dump of your phone? That way we can compare internals...
Thanks!

I can confirm that this glitch is present when playing Racing Moto.
It's not bug, it's a feature -- water drop detection, very annoying but officially confirmed on atrix and now on photon.
This "feature" was not throughly thought out. Who gets more water droplets than their finger on the screen?
i have this problem too!
I can confirm I have this problem. Happened while playing Mario kart on snes emulator. Unable to accelerate due to this "feature"

I play galaxy on fire and Asphalt 6 all the time. Use emulators like it is my job. I have never noticed this problem. I can confirm that I do have it. Now I know why I suck at my games.

How the hell the screen have somthing to do with the water?!
Sux feature
Yeah happens to me playing Mario kart sucks, is there a way to fix our turn off that water detection, or what ever is causing it.

(USC) Motorola Electrify MB853
(1st post - short time lurker)
I also have the Electrify from USC and have it rooted using the AIO method - thanks to shabbypenguin and others involved. The only issue I have run across since doing this was webtop would not load when inserting the device into HD Dock, but clearing cache in the Webtop Connector app and reboot seems to have fixed that for now.
More on topic, I can confirm the screen issue being discussed as evidenced in the "Sprinkle" game that is promoted on the Nvidia Tegra Zone. The game involves pressing an on screen button to shoot water to put out fires. The need to constantly hold the button is a given (at least for me.) I was beginning to think it was a problem with the program, but it may just as well be the glitch described here.
this isn't a photon specific issue, i've had this happen with the hp touchpad when playing asphalt 6, i think it just has somethin to do with touch screens in general
I experience this on yays deodexed rom....
ATRIX, bionic, droix3 ....all have this protocol for security reasons
Moto says its for prevent hold touch with water

This game probably doesnt have any patches to support the photon hardware, much like a computer game issues can arise when using a different operating system or from various video cards, android games are not optimized for each and every android phone out there, I suggest talking to the software company releasing this game, see if you can find out if there are game patches or notify them regarding your issues and perhaps browsing theough tegra 2 forums to find a solution? I do know there is some kind of tegra2 zone where you can find games optimized for the tegra2 processor

I don't think processor optimization has anything to do with it. This behavior its easily verified without playing a game. Download any of the free multitouch test apps. Hold a finger down anywhere for a while (for me it takes about 12 seconds), and the circle, or crosshairs, or whatever whatever will disappear. Worse yet, if you move your finger around after that, the indicator will jump and skitter around a bit, then disappear immediately again.
According to some of the other posts in this thread, this isn't a bug, it's a "feature", but it's one feature I could do without. I'm hoping that, if we get CM7 (or 8?!), we can turn this little feature off.
Im Sorry i haven't posted since I opened this thread. But I have pretty much gotten used to it. I just have to change the way I play games and roms. Still sucks but what can I do? Thanks for all the posts. Is there anyway to edit this behavior or anything?
When I first noticed the touchscreen issues, I immediately came here. Read all the threads, including the ones about 8-point multitouch, and in one of them, can't remember which, someone posted about having changed the driver to not time out. Is this mod available anymore. I remember the poster saying that the phone was extremely sensitive when you do that mod, but I think I could get used to it.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
so i guess it's a no?
I remember about the 8-point multi touch, that was member kennypow3rs! Cannot recall seeing or hearing about the other one. Sorry.
There's a zip you can push through root explorer if you're stock rooted. I'm unlocked on the CM7 rom and it doesn't have that issue anymore and now I have 8 touch points instead of 2.
Ill find the link in a bit and update post.
Found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383246
right, i've seen the 8-point zip, i was referring to someone saying they got rid of the error where when you leave your finger in one spot too long, the touchscreen stops responding. say when you're trying to run around in Shadowgun or GTA III. i could have sworn someone said they played with the touchscreen driver to get rid of that time out.

I know. Cm7 fixed that issue and added 8 points.
I spent almost 2 hours last night attempting to do the 8-point thing. I then started on Hennsey and said F* It and watched 2 and 1/2 Men!!!! Cannot remember after that!
I believe the timeout was a necessary evil as the screen freaks out without it.

I realize similar threads have been posted about this, such as this. Not only my issue is different here, but those threads have been dead too.
My issue here is, I'm running on a stock, unrooted T-Mobile Amaze, and I get similar issues mentioned by rooted users. Is there any workaround to this? Games and web browsing gets annoying with the jitters it gets while using multitouch, and in some games, such as minecraft, it is unplayable.
There's a pin on the back of the phone when you get the cover off. A bit more of search should help you find the thread

I saw that thread too. The thing is, it is only happening when I use multitouch. With single touch, it works flawlessly, but when I use multitouch, it's all good until I transition it to one finger. (I hope that makes sense) After that, the input goes crazy, moving everywhere.
I'll upload a video on what I'm talking about. It's hard to explain it in words, but hopefully having it on video will make this more understandable.
Here is the video:
Note: I have already tried that "bending the pin" trick, and it doesn't work.
Actually I had that same issue and after replacing the phone it ended up being widgetlocker. After I uninstalled it multi touch, especially in games, worked without an issue. Especially had problems when you would hold a touch on one part and touch other parts of the screen, such as in a game emulator.

Wow. That was actually it! I uninstalled GO Locker and those issues disappeared. Good to know that these apps can actually cause issues, but now an even better question, why do these apps cause issues?
or an othe better question, are there any lockers out there that do not cause this issue?
Hey everyone. I recently brought the NFS: HP and i really like the game so far, but. Lol it runs great minus a few FC I had right after I installed it. I was wondering though has anyone came up with maybe a button mapping for sixaxis? Thanks in advance.

Isn't it a tilt only game ? Couldn't see anywhere to change it to onscreen controls so have kinda ignored it since
I have tried a lot of versions but cant seem to get the game working, as soon as the game starts the car takes a hard right and keeps turning which is of course the infamous steering issue. I cant seem to get it working. Anyone have any ideas? Im quite desperate to play this one.

Sorry, I never noticed this thread before...
Need For Speed works fine for me, didn't do anything special, just installed it and it worked.
Have you tried a full uninstall and re-install of the game? (I'm guessing yes, but not sure what else to suggest).
To be honest, I haven't played it in a while, so I'm not 100% sure it's currently working, but it was for sure. I'll definitely give it a whirl when I get home tonight and let you know.... from there we can see if we can figure out any differences.
