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...

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?
So I got my DNA on Sunday. So far, I'm pretty happy with it except for one issue. My multitouch seems messed up. If I'm trying to play a game that requires both thumbs, basically the two of them tapping the screen interfere with one another. For example, if I'm playing something like shadowgun, or GTA III, or max payne, or even the preinstalled diablo clone, if I'm moving a character and try to press an attack button at the same time(or in the case of GTA trying to actually steer while driving) the character movement "stick" resets to neutral. and sometimes the reverse will happen. Trying to move will cause the attack button to stop registering. The issue has been "confirmed" by me with multitouch visible test found in the play store. In the test, moving my thumbs around and making them cross axis screws up the touch registering. could anyone confirm or deny that this is happening on their device? Games are basically unplayable. I went into a VZW store today(the only one in my are with the phone in stock) and tried their demo unit and it exhibited the same problem. I was then promptly told by the sales rep that the one device they had was being held for a paid order. Nevermind the fact that I was told over the phone minutes before that the one phone was available and that they DO NOT hold devices for customers. A call to corporate may be in order... Anyway, any thoughts on the multitouch "issue" would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried turning off HTC gestures in Settings -> Display & Gestures? I think the 3 finger swipe for HTC Media Link messes with multi touch
Generally speaking any issues with multitouch are software related. The sensors should be fine its a matter of callibration based on the software. Like the previous poster said it may be due to sense's gesture features. New kernels when they are released will likely fix this but I have never experiencedit. Gonna have to try and reproduce this today.
I've also noticed plenty of issues with multi touch. I've noticed while browsing, if I'm holding the phone with two hands and any portion of my one hand is touching the screen and I'm trying to scroll it won't respond till I remove that skin that is making contact.

I'm pretty sure every phone is like that.
I believe it is the game/app software related. I don't think a lot of them are set up to recognize the larger 5.0"+ screens running resolutions over 720p. We are kinda treading new territory here. I have heard of a few games that don't display correctly on our phones so I don't doubt controls/multi-touch could need some tweaking as well.
I may be wrong but that is my opinion.

More than a few games simply do not work. Its annoying and I may return the DNA for that reason.

Are you becoming part of the "Now" generation that I saw you complain about in another thread?
Games will begin working once app developers start updating for 1080p screens.

No, LOL.
But I have seen these things before, where developers catch up 6 months later. A lot of the games I want to play are Gameloft or EA, and they both are terrible at updating. Horn hasn't been updated since September.
In that case, I can come back in 6 months with a newer device and will be content.
I am definitely patient, and can live with the Gnex a bit longer if I decide to go that route.
Thanks for the replies. I did try turning off HTC gestures last night with no success. I'll have to figure out a way to post a video of it. Basically, in the multitouch test app, If i hold the phone in landscape, as if I'm playing a game, then place both thumbs in the lower corners, it registers fine. However, if I slowly move my left thumb up and down then repeatedly tap the right corner(an action commonly performed in 3D action games) it trips it up and starts reversing the thumb inputs and occasionally introducing a third input even though I only have two fingers on screen. I can't believe that it's just an issue with software, or I'd assume reviews would have pointed to it. It makes games basically unplayable. And I've seen video online of people playing those types of games on the phone without the issue. A video would help. I'll try to figure something out.
Its been like that for some time the phones capability is more than the multi tasking allows I got 7 apps at once any load after that it won't show in recent. Though its slightly better with the app refresh upon switch its much better than my previous HTC the EVO LTE . Still when we got aosp based roms it was much better but with no limit or more on that device it slowed a lot but two gigs in this is great.

So I've "solved" the issue. I actually swapped it out for another phone and then it worked fine and I was happy. Then I re installed holo locker from the play store and started having the same issue. So holo locker WILL break the multi touch capabilities of the DNA. I just e-mailed the dev and hopefully get a response. So again, for anyone using the phone, DO NOT INSTALL HOLO LOCKER. At least not until it's updated.
So I've had my DNA for about 3 hours. Messing with camera screen went black and phone froze had to reboot. Now messing with Netflix same thing only didn't have to reboot. Anyone else seeing any issues like this?

I've had my phone since release day and it hasn't had a single hiccup, let alone any kind of freeze or blank screen. This is definitely not normal.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Can't say I've seen that. What all do you have installed?
Not much installed. Just what came on it right now plus about 3-4 more apps mostly forum apps. If it continues I am going to return it.
I should add the camera lockup was using the front facing camera with the smile detection option enabled. It acted like it was going to shoot and I moved it then it just went black and I had to reboot.
Just did Netflix again and black screen like it just doesn't want to load.

me too..
Had mine since launch and have only seen this once - yesterday while using Handcent.
Haven't been able to reproduce camera freezing however Netflix still shows just a black screen quite often. Force stopping through settings fixes it. Tempted to think its an app problem not a phone problem.

guys, this camera screen freeze.. does the screen fade out to black? i get that problem when clicking the gallery icon after taking a picture sometimes... but I just shut the screen off and turn it back on and it's fine.

Hi,
my wife got the DNA, since I'm very happy with my GNex and all the fine ROM's I was able to test drive.
Now I was not planning to do anything to the DNA, since it becomes my issue at that very moment, when anything weird is happening to the wife's DNA. Some may relate...
For the past week or so she has been complaining that the phones hangs for 10-30 seconds in various applications.
- Words with Friends, in app, just dragging a letter onto the board
- Messages, just opening a particular thread
- Settings, opening different menus within settings, like apps or even About
- Home Screen, swiping to the left or right... you have to wait until it moves, sometimes you see it kind of inching to the left or right...
- other places throughout the phone
Now the phone is operating mainly in Wifi mode when she is around the house, due to the preservation of data in my share everything plan.
When she operates the phone from the kitchen, she is borderline reception, even so the DNA shows 1-2 bars of wifi. By the way a lot better then any other phone I have had, even my old trusty DroidX, which I thought had the best reception (wifi) of all.
This behavior is not 100% reproducible and I can't really get the exact analysis data from my wife, when she is already frustrated... Also I don't know a lot about Sense and wonder if that might be the issue.
Just now reading a little here to see if there are already custom ROM's out there either addressing the issue or getting rid of Sense all together and making the DNA more a natural Android 4.2 phone.
Help!
Thanks

If I were you I'd take that phone back to Verizon. None of that should be happening.
It maybe there is a rogue app causing it. But I've never had it hang, ever.

Ya I would definitely return it. Possibly try a factory reset and see if that solves it.

Perhaps I really just do have bad luck but thought I would share my experiences... I got the One through pre order and the device was solid except for a small gap at the bottom that I could live with. However, about 3 weeks in I was using my speakers to listen to some music using google play all access my device was burning hot when I picked it up from my bed (hot enough to a point in which I actually felt the burning sensation in my palm) I immediately ended all processes and did a restary just to be safe, when the device restarted I noticed there was no boot animation sound and soon realized that my speakers were inoperable and wouldnt generate a sound for anything. Then when I got my warranty replacement I noticed that my screen had a warm tint and flickered quite often and after about an hour of using it thw device shut off and wouldnt turn back on no matter what key combination I tried, and the led wouldnt turn on either. I visited a local at&t store that happened to be the store that the regional manager was visiting that day (the only piece of goodluck) where he just took the device (without box or anything at all just the phone) reversed my upgrade and let me pick any device of the same value for free.. (which I couldnt believe because even customer retention said I was out of luck and would have to try again with another refurb, btw I grabbed a gs4 which im ok with for now, might be back to the One once these issues are sorted out) sorry for the rant but this experience with at&t has definitely instilled some faith for me that at&t isnt always useless.

He's letting others know and maybe asking if its common. People who don't have the One yet, like me, want to know how detective the phone can be. I'm not gonna use my upgrade until later when all of this is fixed with the future batches. Thanks for the info OP!
