[Q] ANY CM9 touch issues in certain games - Motorola Photon 4G

When playing games like Shadowgun, six guns, tank hero for example, the multitouch will work but it appears to read the second touch momentarily and cause the tank to stop in tank hero or looking around the will be effected making the game nearly impossible to play. Also, in some instances, the first touch will freeze if I introduce a second touch and will not clear until I either hit back or somewhere else on the screen.
Anyone else having this issue? I've tested ALL ICS roms except the new CNA...I've also tested the raindrop fix as well with no prevail.
Other than this issue ICS seems to be flawless on my device including videocam illusion giving me videocam at 640x480 front and back.
Thanks for any help

Update with CNA tested
Test on CNA and still experiencing the same issue

This has been a problem on every ics build so far on the photon. Problem is incorrect drivers/lack of source. I believe joker is changing some touch screen stuff right now.

Tested 5.1 with no prevail...I admit they due seem to be improving as the do not stick now but delays and glitches still remain...just figured I'd update and I'm not complaining
I appreciate all the hard work that is being done for our phones and am here to help test in anyway possible thanks again

[Q] Accelerometer- CM7

On cm7 when I go to play games such as doodle jump and perform other tasks that use the accelerometer I notice there is a considerable lag in movement that makes the games unplayable. It is much more laggy and unresponsive than the accelerometer on UKB 2.1 and I was wondering why this is and if there is any way to calibrate the accelerometer to make it work better?

CM7 for the fascinate is still a WiP and in its very early alpha. It has been just over a week since we have had all of the sensors fully functioning so I would imagine your problems are stemming from this.
I could be completely wrong but just the state that CM7 is in I would not put it past that fact.
Yep, I'm experiencing the same thing as well, but as gkirby said, JT only got the sensors working a while ago so I'm sure it will be fixed with time, along with MMS. Also, calibration doesn't help.

Same issue here with the lag. It is a fast ROM and awesome job by the devs though. Be patient and we will all reap the benefits of the work

Multitouch huge issue - second touch interferes with first

If I swipe then, in mid-swipe, I create a touch elsewhere on the screen, the first swipe becomes interrupted. This happens every time, all of the time.
See (not me): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rz3uWFuDkI
I downloaded "Multitouch Visualizer 2" from the market and it confirmed the issue visually/quickly/easily/unambiguously.
I would really appreciate knowing if there is a fix.
It makes multitouch apps (especially games) impossible. I think it may contribute to the gingerbread keyboard not being as accurate as it was on my Evo while typing really fast (maybe).
Running rooted stock.2.08.651.2
In case it matters: HW revision 002. Panel Type = Panel_ID_SHR_SHARP_NT
(You can check which panel you have by going into terminal emulator and typing in "dmesg". The scroll up 40 lines or so and find "panel type.")
It is subtle enough in most UIs that I thought it was just me adjusting to the new screen, so don't feel silly if you haven't noticed it--I sure didn't!
I searched several times and I did not find this posted yet.
This is the closest I could find in search, but it is NOT my issue, mine does just fine on the "fast swipe test." As long as there is only one touch going on, it appears to work 100%! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140997
Thanks!
Try this, and read the instructions when you run the apk.

Just tested with dotty, and I had that issue too.
Tested again a few minutes later and the issue was gone.
Weird.
Type *#*#3424#*#* in phone, then run a line drawing test. See if it happens there.

It went away for a few hours then came back. I have absolutely no idea why. I had restarted it, but that is all.
When it worked, it really worked well. All 4 points tracked beautifully.
It is now having the issue again.
-The diag line test is single touch, not multi touch, so it does not help at all.
-I have no idea what that recalibrate program did, but it did not have any impact on the issue. Thanks though!
Any other ideas as to what this even could be? Anyone else having the problem?
I seem to have this issue too :/ think replacing the touchscreen will fix it?

Restart, and it goes away (for a while, at least). That tells me that it is more likely to be a software glitch, not a hardware issue. To me, it appears as if some multi- touch reference is not being replaced properly.
Because we only multitouch occasionally, I would bet that this could happen for a lot of users a lot of the time and it would go undetected.
NICE! The Evo only had two points. looks like Evo 3D has four points you can touch it at! hellz yeah! but it is really hard to test more than 4 points on a screen. not like I have 30 fingers .lol

It happens to me all day every day. It is the same on sense and CM and the other AOSP roms. It makes using the keyboard a chore because I usually type really fast.
Quite frustrating. But, I have confidence that if it is a software issue (hopefully), the wonderful devs here will fix it. All in due time.
I posted a YouTube video of this problem twice in this forum, and how to re-create it. I had it replaced because of the issue and the replacement had the same exact issue. I am pretty sure its a stock kernel problem, not hardware. With some of the cooked kernels, my E3d didn't have the multitouch problem.

It looks like this problem is more widespread than I originally thought.
thanks for the video. I have the hardware version 2 of the evo3d. don't have this issue as far as I can tell. the white one. love this thing. NEVER BUY THE FIRST VERSION EVER!
Hi all. Im going to buy this phone and noticed this thread. I am really warried about this issue because i had some touch issues with my HD2.
It looked like:

I simply couldnt write fast on the keyboard because some taps was jumping over the keyboard:/
Is the same issue on evo 3d??? How we can recognize version??
tested on GSM Leedroid with stock kernel...no problems here.

I have the EXACT same issues as OP. Multitouch is crazy and so is typing using the GB keyboard. No fixes so far. HW 0002.
OP ??? How to check hw version??
Thanks for all the feedback, y'all.
Hardware revision is unlikely to be the culprit. On 002 here. Check it in settings-about phone-hardware info.
Mine seems to be fine 90% of the time now. Just when I think it mysteriously fixed itself, I check and it is back (this is based on checking at random times during the day.)
I really have no idea what could cause this. Movement appears to be unrelated, as is load, time used, battery charge, or specific activity. All I know is that restarting makes it better...sometimes for a minute, sometimes for hours.
Consider making a shortcut to a multitouch tester and generating some more anecdotal data. I was pleasantly surprised that it was so infrequent.
I have the same issue, across several roms. Progressively got worse over the course of a week, to the point of getting phantom taps whenever I touched a section of the phone towards the top. Recently took it to Sprint to replace the screen, restoring it completely to stock before, even turned S-ON. They replaced it and the problem went away for a few days. Now it is doing this again. Something is definitely going on.
Why dosent anyone believe me when I say its the kernel? Flash a cooked one and it will stop.
not everyone in here has time to flash every "kernel" ever to be created by some weird guy or 12 year old. lol some of us work 80 hours a week. :-D My tummy hurts. which one of your gf's or ex's or wives wanta kiss my tummy. I'll kiss a few inches down on her to make us even. LOL! *runs away before you all kick me*

I'm pretty darn happy with the stock kernel. I value simplicity and stability above everything else. This phone is plenty fast for how I use it.
Could you let us know what kernel has had modifications that are relevant to multitouch? My ideal kernal is stock (August update) with just this modification.
Also, keep in mind that it might take a while to evaluate whether it works. Mine was fine all yesterday but now is having the skittish multitouch issue.

[Q] Serendipity- Screen timesout in games?

Hey guys, I just flashed serendipity today and I must say I love it thus far. Haven't run into any problems. This maybe my first one but I'm not so sure this is a bug with said rom.
All the games I have installed time out and I have to turn the screen on again. I realize that I can just increase the timeout period (my current workaround) but I wanted to know if anybody is experiencing this issue either on serendipity or other roms. I thought it could have been a flaw with the game but I've tried games like cut the rope, worms, need for speed shift, and words with friends. Its the same problem with every single one. Chime In!
It happened on other ROMs for me as well (NFS Shift)
I wonder if its an incompatibility with our phones then... kinda how like some games refuse to work with it.
It's up to the app to prevent the screen from timing out.
Generally you don't go 30s without pressing the screen though.

Its definetly game fault, because I dont get screen off in half games i can doodle jump all day without off but in shift and others screen becames black so I use widget to prevent it

[Q] Touch Screen issues

Hey All!
My amaze is awesome except that I can't play games well on it! When trying to play games like Gta 3 or Minecraft that have virtual buttons my touch screen does funky stuff. When holding down a button to move forward my character will start to move and then stop like the touch screen has stopped registering my finger that is still holding down the button.
My question to you all is do you have issues where your screen is flakey or do I maybe just have a bad unit? I have even noticed in web browsing that the page stutters sometimes even when I'm scrolling slowly on a fully loaded page.
Same here on gta and other games... You got a screen protector?
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda premium
Nope, I don't. I'm thinking its the pin in the back like a couple other people have said. I might just take it back and get a new one though. Lol. Its bad though... I can't even play any games on it that have virtual buttons! That and it won't detect more than 3 fingers on the multitouch test app I got.
Is this actually a problem on the Amaze or just a faulty device of op?
I believe it's a faulty device. Mine works with 4 touch points without a problem. Including other 2 device from my family member
Which Rom are you on? If its Fourth Sense then that ROM has a touch problems. Happened to me , I changed the Rom back again and that did the job for me.

I don't believe its a faulty device, it might be the actual rom, or some apps...when I restart my phone I run the mutitouch app and all 4 points register perfectly...after about a minute or so, the 4th point starts messing up...
sometimes, I can only get 1 touchpoint at a time to register properly....I'm on stock rooted rom.
I'm going to nandroid my phone and put stock nonrooted and stock rooted on my phone, to find out if it fixes the problem and if the roms make a difference. If not, then I would blame some of the apps. I've heard some roms such as beast rom work very well with touchpoints, so i'm guessing it has something to do with the stock rom itself.
right now I'm on stock kernel, but I was on faux, I'm going to also try to see if kernels make a difference:
This won't be over night, I will need time to do all this, I don't have time to mess with my phone when i need it.
update:
other people with roms and problems: it seems to be the rooted stock does not work well with touchpoints,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430210&highlight=gta
so far beastmod and android revolution hd are roms that have been reporting to work well with touchpoints if you want root.
Or.... Buy a phone for gaming....lol
Wasnt the main selling point of this phone the camera?
There is no doubt my old g2x blows away the amaze for games and video....
But I knew that buying this phone.
Even the best game eVAHr , atomic bomber, doesn't respond well on this phone. I mention this because AB is a pretty basic game.

[Q] Motorola ATRIX 4g mb860 at&t would like Snapseed but not compatible

Hello people, I am unrooted and have enjoyed my ATRIX 4g even though I have been stuck with the final ginger bread ota release at&t gave us and have waited patiently for the promised ota ICS upgrade which they now posted we will not get, I am aware that there is a Leak Test ICS that is buggy, and have been mods made or provided over here by your awesome developers bringing our devices up to JB level even, but am a fan of the functioning camera and finger print biometrics personally. I am a noob as far as Android rooting but very tech savvy and with devices and software in general, every app I have wanted to use has been great on this phone regardless of what version it was made for until today... I am quite into photo editing and have a ton of photo edit apps and engage in IG a bit, we as the underdogs over at IG were always fighting to make our tweaks and edits look as good as an Iphone edit mainly because they had an app called Snapseed, I was very pleased. When I read google had purchased this app drom NIK software a month ago and today it was finally released for Android, I went to Google Play and it for the first time ever said this app is not compatible with your device, it needs 4.0 or above in other words ICS, now my main question here is if I did root flash a mod similar to ICS or the unstable leak version will Google play still just see the signature of my phone and not allow a download or if I was running a new os would it get around that issue, I did also write the developer but doubt they are too concerned about making the app backward compatible as Google also purchased Motorola and offer a mere $100.00 towards upgrading to a different moto phone and I love this ine and do not have the money at the noment to do so.. any advice would be greatly appteciated, as to a a suitable os and whether or not it would even allow us Atrix 4g users to download Snapseed if our phone is recognized by its name and autodetection by googlr play tegardlrss of os, I mean it's a fast phone I've had no problems, everything works, dual core, good ram, speed stirage etc.. thanks Stu
Shows up fine on EPinter's CM10. Market just checks what version of Android your device is using. I haven't installed it to check, but will be doing so shortly. I'll get back to you about how it fairs on our devices.
Edit: After about 10 mins of playing around, it's running pretty well. No noticeable lag whatsoever. Kinda regret paying for PicSay Pro since this one seems to have a simpler UI.

Thanks very much sir, I will now have to look into this EPinter's CM10 and learn the whole process and hopefully not brick my phone, I'm good with directions, does the CM10 have a working camera and fingerprint scanner, and can I save my whole phone image if it all went south? I also paid for PicSayPro and many others too, love graphic arts and photography so the cam although only 5mp is important at times.
Anyway thanks very much yet again for the info.
No problem. Yes, you should make a nandroid backup once you have a custom recovery. It is one of the recommended steps followed by an exclamation mark. =P The only thing lacking on EPinter's CM10 is video camera (related to missing HWA due to improper kernel source) Regular camera works fine for still shots. I use camera fx & camera 360, both work without any issues. And No, the fingerprint scanner doesn't work since it's not a part of CM source.
There is an unofficial, "official" ICS (ICSROM & ATRICS) that has proper HWA with video camera and fingerprint scanner but the battery life is terrible and the phone gets really hot. I personally had random restarts every few minutes.EPinter's CM10 does well as a daily driver, but if you're going to go through the trouble, might as well try all the roms available! =D

Thanks very much for this info, I will research these downloads, I watched a youtube vid of cm10 and looked good, seems the Atrix is a bit more of a pain to work with than other Androids but will look into the whole process of unlocking and fastboots and the nanandroid back up etc.
Greatly appreciate the help.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Yes, the Atrix is a pain compared others, but once rooted with a custom recovery (IMHO RomRacer's custom CWM 5.0.2.7 is the best, never had issues) it's just like any other device. Heck, I remember flashing 3-4 ROMs a day, it was insane! =P
I would recommend downloading Titanium Backup from the market as well. It will help you quickly backup your most used apps w/ data/settings and reinstall them after installing a new ROM. Good luck and have fun.
P.S. Thanks for Snapseed!
