After a while of holding down the same area or button of a game, like gas peddle on gta3 or moving forward on minecraft the button or area stops working for a bit, is this software level that the system suppresses after a while or something wrong with my screen? Can't find anyone else with this problem on google.... on stock 2.3.5 btw... patiently waiting for some magical genie to unlock this....

Known issue. It could be driver related (hardware) or software. I forget if the devs mentioned anything about it. I wonder if the problem is solved in ice cream sandwich. I will try it and report back
Its actually a rather annoying feature having to do with with water drop detection. Someone turned it off once once and said the touch screen was way too sensitive without it.

I had a galaxy's, and recently I bought a Atrix.
I noticed that Atrix has a touch screen less sensitive than galaxy.
I've downloaded from the market "sgs touchscreen booster", this is an app to manage the touchscreen galaxy.
I tried it on 'Atrix and it works fine for me.
Now I am satisfied with the touchscreen.
If anyone has the same problem, I advise him to try.
Sorry for my bad English
I can not tell if it is even working.

It work very well for me.

I had noticed that coming from Captivate, the touch screen felt... different. Just installed. Hopefully this helps. Thanks!
you are awesome!
I had the touchscreen bug where my screen would go unresponsive, was going to bring it in today (concerned about my device having the france rom on it.) and this app got it working again perfectly!
will be sure to buy you a beer on payday if this holds up.
just installed.. seems to be much more responsive to me.. have it set to "optimized". will try them all out..thx!

Same. I still, along with (I think) everyone, have the issue with multi-touch when you hold fingers down for a certain number of seconds and the screen equalizes it, forcing you to wait a few seconds and try it again. This really annoys me on games like Jet Car Stunts, when, for example, I hold the accelerate button but eventually I have to let go and press it again to keep the car accelerating.
yeah that apparently is a feature and done by design from what I read. the problem i had was worse in the sent that imagine the screen going nuts after 5 seconds of activity.
Is there any way to increase the multitouch number. This app says it can but it doesn't work I know this is for the galaxy but is there any other way?

I was getting so annoyed of this phone because when i tried to typed i couldnt type one work without making a huge mistake because the screen wasnt picking up everything i guess. if i typed hey fast it would just type "hy" or something. but when i did this and put the sensitivity up to 80% and left the rest on default it fixed it. now i can type fast without any mistakes and it seems as it fixed multitouch problems as well! This app is definitely recommended.
I've always thought the Atrix screen could do with a higher sensitivity, after using the iphone. It might be all in the mind, but this app does seem to help. It is particularly noticeable when typing, I no longer have any missed letters where I haven't pressed hard enough.
Thanks for sharing this app
Just got my Photon. Woo Hoo. I hope I can keep it. I have some issues but they are with Sprint, not the photon.
I am on my second one. The first Photon acted crazy where I would be just holding it on it's sides and if I would just turn it a little in one direction or another it would vibrate and the voice recognition app would come up over and over again.
Now my new one will sometimes do it. Sometimes it's the voice recognition app and sometimes it gives me 3 choices of what I want to do (which program to open). It doesnt' happen nearly as often as it did on the first one. So, now that 2 of them act strange in the same manner, my conclusion is that either I have a setting wrong or there is a bug that is causing this. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Are you stock?
Does it happen when you first get it, or do you notice it after you download an app?
Try to go to stock and do whatever you do 1 at a time until you're able to recreate it. That'll help you

My first one was stock and unrooted. It was the worse one. It did have the update.
The current one I have is stock, but is now rooted. I haven't done anything but add a couple of apps that require root (like Titanium). Works great otherwise......
OK so now I know how to make it act up. If you put it in landscape mode and kind of torque it a little while in your hands it will vibrate and then navigate itself off somewhere else or give you a choice of actions. Anyone else noticed this?

Yeah, I was thinking the same. If you hold down the search button, it brings up voice search, and double tapping home will bring up voice commands, and holding down the home key brings up recently used apps... At work we call it accidental fat fingers...

I was just wondering if anyone else with the Motorola photon was having this problem. When I try playing a game, particularly racing games where you have to hold down a button on the screen, the screen will become unresponsive in the one spot.
You can test this by downloading a racing game and then holding down the gas button, if you car or bike goes the entire game without slowing down or stopping you don't have this problem. However, I experience the car slowing down or coming to a stop from holding down that one area for long periods of time (usually 30 seconds). After about 2 seconds, the screen will become responsive in that area again and the car will speed back up, but then it will become again.
This problem I have noticed will multiple racing games from different developers. Here are two games I notice it the most in: RacingMoto and Top Truck Free.
Anyone noticing this?
If this is a problem with the phone sprint should fix since they market this phone as "great for games".
It's an issue for everyone. I forget the exact reasoning but basically the phone stops responding after holding a certain spot for so long in case it's something in your pocket doing it. Dumb idea to me but nothing we can do about it yet.

That kinda defeats the purpose of a "gaming phone". Good thing I only play games on my phone about an hour a month. If I bought this phone to play games on and it did this I'd be pissed at Sprint for terrible marketing.

I definitely agree! I posted it on Motorola's forums so hopefully someone can pass it to their dev team saying this needs a fix (if they can even fix it with a software update). Otherwise Sprint's support is in for a hay day from me
I too notice it it with top truck and was wondering about that.kinds sucks!

This issue is frustrating. The phone's gaming capabilities are amazing but I can't play racing games?
I did notice that some games are more sensitive to this problem than others, which has me wondering if there isn't something in the app code that is disabling this ridiculous touch timeout feature.

Wiggling doesn't help. Once it decides to timeout your long press it will do it in less time when you lift your finger and press again. Crrrrap.

Thanks Cornelious but the prblem is that the bootloader is locked and is 2.3.5 so i can't unlock it, i also can't acess the files with adb i think is because the screen autolocks by default when the phone starts so adb does not recognize the device.. any sugestions?
Discaimer: I'm apologizing in advance of this seems like a stupid question or post.
I noticed that my search button partly illuminates when I first turn on my phone if it's completely off. Once the phone is fully booted and my home screen comes on all of the other buttons light up properly as well as the search button.
It just seems a little odd, but isn't causing any problems. Anyone else have this? I'm just hoping it's not a sign of potential hardware problems. (Yes I have insurance but enjoy full root with hboot 1.4)

Mine too. I was always kinda curious about whether it was common or not, but it never really bothered me too much
Yes, its normal. They should have got that fixed before finalizing this model.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Mine is the same way as well. It's a light leakage. If I use one of the kernels with dim LEDs, my buttons look like ass because of this. Most people can lower their value to 2 (in ..../button-backlight/currents), while I can only lower mine to 14 before it starts looking dumb.
Mine is most prominent when in recovery. Only time I notice it.

I've noticed this too. It does make the phone look like crap when the LEDs are off.
It's light "bleed" from the screen to the search button. it most visible in recovery, probably because your screen is completely white and it's easy to see the white light bleed.
Kinda sad that HTC didn't fix this issue before releasing the phone.. Cheap internal build quality, perhaps?
I think it may be due to the fact that they used some sort of clear plastic to put together the inside. If you open the batterycover you can see what I'm talking about.

Seems like HTC did a bad job in this area. I also have hardware build 0002 so I guess it's an issue with that build.

After 4 refurbs I finally got a new phone, went it to Sprint and was going to get another refurb, but they gave me a brand new one. So, I have been extremely observant with this new one, I have noticed when typing my finger press doesn't always register, its only on the left side of the phone in la.escape mode. And sometimes the spacebar doesn't recognize. So i downloaded order and chaos, (wow mobile) and the virtual joystick stutters and doesn't register my finger press. *NOTE* this isn't app based. It happened when clicking on apps from drawer no matter what launcher. I'm wondering if its the digitizer. 4 days oldandth is one fails already. Sick of HTC.
EDIT: good example right there. Meant * 4 days old and this * and landscape*

Disabling it did the trick. That's so weird. Glad I know a fix, sad an amazing locker has to be disabled. I guess I can just turn it off when gaming ect. Still a bummer. But thanks for the tip!
