[Q] Pen mode not working- boost mobile - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hello, I purchased HTC View 4G that has been flashed to use in Boost Mobile service.
So far, I like the device, and happy with the purchases.
However, I came across with a problem and in need of support.
One of the main reason that lead me to purchase this was the integration of pen/stylus to draw/write freely. I tried various ways to make pen mode to work, but it seems that function isn't working properly.
I pressed a green pen-mode button located on the bottom right corner, and there's no response.
I also went to settings--> pen--> tutorial, but I can't draw anything in the box.
I have no clue what the problem is.
Any comment/suggestion would be much appreciated.

i think you need to be more specific with your problem,
- what kind of pen do you use?
- which kind of ROM do you use?

Have you inserted the batteries into the pen? If so, try with a different AAAA battery, perhaps the stock one is drained.

Make sure you are running a Honeycomb rom. Gingerbread pen support is very limited (sadly).

Thanks for posting this. I just got my View yesterday and it was running GB and I was very disappointed with the pen functionality. Upgraded to HC after your post and it works wonderful now.

SPB Shell now has a tablet mode!

The app won't show in the market so you'll have to sideload it but SPB shell 3d now has a tablet mode. It's basically landscape mode and it uses higher res graphics instead of stretching it out.
I've been using it all day.. works pretty nicely. The auto orientation is a bit slow and sometimes buggy so I've kept it on landscape only. Your mileage may vary.
How did you side load? I own and use my HTC Evo.

Pull via adb. Then copy to your SD card and install.

You can download from FAQ on their website. It looks like an older version though. I'm not sure where to get the "tab" version. If there is an APK, can someone post it. It requires a serial once started, so should be fine.

yes, that's what he means. very simple procedure.
Lol, to you maybe.
I got the update on my phone. If you hit menu, go to home screen options, and experimental options, you can change from smartphone to tablet mode.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Found it on FAQ. Looks great behind activate screen. Unfortumately i don't have access to my serial number and my email address used is no longer active. Im waiting on a response from spb for the serial number. Found the google receipt, but no serial number. I could almost buy it from handmark again just tl instantly get a serial number to lay with this.
I was really hoping their tablet version would come out soon. I think if you can combine the touchwiz functions with the SPB workflow, itll make the GT10.1 a home run.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
screenies please i would love to see what it looks like landscape...
Got my serial number. Man i love this thanks mr bomb for alerting me to this. I loved this app when i had a winmo 6 htc diamond and then on my htc evo 4g. I saw the demo for tablets a while ago and been drueling ever since.
I almost have my screens built and laid out. Id be happy to post pics but don't know how on non rooted stock rom. Maybe the TW ROM will be out next week and can use its built in function.
But i assure you folks this is the best home screen replacement. It has lots of wonderful and useful widgets included. You can also infinitely add or remove home panels.
Has anyone figured out if you can dock more than just the 1 icon in lower left as well as the app drawer? In the smartphone installaton/mode you can have 4 plus the 2D home to 3D home soft button. It would be awesome to have this on the tablet. I would easily uninstall ADW. Also has anyone tried setting as default home amd seeing if it sticks? My default home setting never sticks. I set it and then get pompted for it again.
Lastly, I had a bad experience when trying the VLT app on my Asus Transformer. I set as default and then it would not boot up. I had to return it. i definitely domt want a repeat. Lol
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Set as default home and it sticks! Yes! I can reboot and no hang ups. Awesome! This made my tablet even more awesome than it was. Nlw if Touchwiz will come out so i can take screenshots.... Ill post em!
Thanks mr bomb. You made my day!

One word of caution... don't enable live wallpaper is you're running this. I tried a few times and every time I had to uninstall SPB to get it to load up again. Other than that it worked great. I just wish it was more full screen instead of the multiple panes.
I have it installed but needs serialnumber, i have purchased spb shell some time ago via android market... in this case did anyone got the sn from spb support?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
No you don't get serial number via Android Market. You have to buy from their site a 2nd time to get a S/N. I Google's for a discount code and got a 20% discount.

See I have something odd. I have done live and static wallpaper and it didn't screw it up. I kept getting watch dog alerts on Android Core (home.) But nothing bad. All of a sudden today, I got to work and put it on my media dock and every app popped up with force closure. Then I got a pop up that looked like the SPB font and said my installation could no longer be authenticated. SPB dropped to my Honeycomb Launcher. Now my wifi at work requires a browser to sign in, and i had not done it yet. SPB will not startup. I uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared cache, etc. It just won't start up.
I passed on to their support. But I appear to be stuck and unable to use it at all. it makes me very sad. It really made my weekend to setup and use SPB Shell. But it is all gone now. If I do get it working again, ill have to start over again.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
The way I got it installed is this...
Installed on my phone. Used root explorer to copy the apk from system/app to the root of my sd card. Then I uploaded it to my dropbox account and downloaded it on my tablet. Worked like a charm. I'm assuming this is because it was authenticated already with my SN when I installed it on my phone? Or maybe because my tablet is signed into my gmail account.
Awe.... gotcha. Where is it on the phone? I'm not rooted on my Evo 4G or Grab. So may not be able to do what you did?

It's in the system/app folder I believe. You need to be rooted to copy it out of there.
Can someone post screenshots for those of us who haven't installed yet?
Awe. I'm am going from an Evo 4G to Nexus S 4G this week. So I am probably not gonna risk rooting and bricking my phone. It would bring down the already low resell value on eBay. Lol
Maybe SPB will be kind enough to respond to my issues, even if they are not supporting it yet on tablets. It will hopefully be worth their time learning how to address it and advance their timeline for full release.
Maybe after I get my nexus and install it there, I can root and find it if SPB decides to not help. It will install but nothing happens now when i press home and select SPB. I get the SPB Mobile Shell 3D is starting with the circle going round and round .... but not even the serial box pops up. I do notice that it accumulates 1.07mb of data during this process. Ill clear the cache and same result each time. Its like something completely obliterated every app, but permanently for SPB when i sat the tab on the media dock today.

[Q] Touch screen issues on unrooted and stock Amaze - Solutions?

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?

External 7" touchscreen driver for Atrix CarPC

Hello everyone. I have gone as far as I can go by myself, and I am looking for a little help to see if together we can get this working.
I have a Lilliput 669GL-70NP/C/T 7" touch screen that I want to try and get working over USB host. So far, all my attempts have been fruitless, but I think that it is possible. The touchscreen utilizes an eGalax driver to work, and I see from their web site here:
http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm
that they have created a linux driver for ARM devices. Based on what I have been able to determine, this means that I should be able to load the driver on android, but this is where I start getting in way over my head.
Does anyone know what I should be trying to get this to work? I also read that ICS has some form of touch input built in... should I be trying this on that? Right now I am running CM7. It seems to me like with a little work we could have external touchscreens for our Atrix!
Oh I forgot to mention, when I plug the touchscreen in, DMSG does register a USB HID input device as "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController"
CM7 also registers the handlers for the touchscreen as mouse1 and event10 when I run "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"
It seems like this is so close right out of the box! I'm trying my best to load the drivers now from terminal... we'll see how that goes.
Hope you get it sorted.

That would be a really sweet way to almost have a padphone. Ever since I unboxed my lapdock I've said that it should have been a tabdock with a touchscreen instead.
I'll go back to lurking now...

Thanks, My idea here is to dump the phone to a mounted 7" screen in my car dash. I want to basically have a touch screen head unit with all the power android offers, and the unlimited data that AT&T is still reluctantly supplying.
As far as the project goes... I just tried on Joker's CM9 built with the exact same results... I was hoping maybe the rumors I had heard about ICS support were true, but not out of the box i suppose. As far as the drivers, I can not get the calibration / driver utility to run so far... and that's as far as I'm going to be able to go tonight.

lol nice timing. I was just logging in.
HDMI works great as is. However, I was looking to be able to provide input back to the phone. Otherwise, the phone still has to be front and center for controlling, which in my opinion kind of defeats the purpose of putting the screen there in the first place.
Basically you want to do like, vnc and pocket cloud, where you control your computer via smartphone but you wanna control the phone instead via touchscreen panel, that sounds like a pain in the ass!

Are you sure that the USB isn't just for passing touchscreen input back to a device? I mean, I know there are such things as USB monitors, but I don't think this is one of them, is what I'm saying -- I'm pretty sure you need to use both HDMI and USB for this to work.
Even if you could load the driver. Which you can. You still need to write some libs and script to get android on the screen. Good luck

Perhaps I need to clarify... The Lilliput 669 has a proprietary HDMI cable that breaks into HDMI and USB. I am not trying to send video and input over USB, just input. The HDMI part works as is. I plan on using both HDMI and USB in the final solution.

Yea me too! I have tried in vain to buy this. $189 AU is a little less than $200, which I would be perfectly ok with for a completely working bluetooth solution. However, I can't buy it. MP3car.com is working with the designer to bring the product to market, but they are still 4-8 weeks out, and there are some concerns that it may not be released at all. The designer's web site lists the product as out of stock.
I have tried to find somewhere else that I could buy it, or at least get schematics to build one, but it has been in vain. By the way, this has been re-branded as "Mimics for Android".
I had been wanting to do the same thing. The other day i just came across something that should be coming out end of the month android quadcore mini development board. so you could say use touch monitor and android OS i see they have bluetooth also so maybe phone could connect bluetooth to the android system in car. there isnt much more info on the board but it looks promising for an incar project its tiny. its called odroid-x http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php
there was some other $100 range android cube thing i saw recently too that might be good. OUYA is name of it maybe XDA will have a section one day for these devices. could make for some good in-car systems much cheaper than indash receivers and more features.
Good luck to ya, keep us posted. I would kill for a solution like this. I would love to be able to implement this, with a fiber optic audio out to a DSP like the Zapco DSP6 or Audison BitOne.1 or the Helix C/P-DSP that is coming to market.

This all sounds good, and I have seen the OUYA... it looks impressive. However this will remove the phone ability if I go this route. I could just check out the android x86 project for that... I believe they already have this screen working actually. I've been trying to follow how they made that work.
I really want to stick with my atrix as the brain so that I retain the 3g connection without another $50 a month or losing unlimited internet.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
just to know... do you read the "Kernel 2.6.24 upward" right?
theres also what samcriip told, even porting the drivers, you need to write the libs and scripts to get android on the screen, idk how much you know about android but... this is kinda hard to be done...
Good luck, you'll need it.

[Q] Odd touchscreen issue

My wife's P7510 has started to act up. The touchscreen is jumpy. When i go into the development options and use the pointer coordinates option, my finger registers as two,sometimes three. It makes it difficult to type, and just hard to use. Do i have a hardware issue or is it something I can easily fix?

Did you flash another ROM?
if stock: there is maybe moisture or dust, take apart as much as possible and hoover round the edges,If the touch screen is still not working, the tab is broken as the majority if touch screen phones and tabs cannot be calibrated
The tablet is still under warranty, so I don't want to dissemble. It had rooted stock OS on it, ICS. I flashed the stock rom back, and still have the issue. Did a Factory reset, and still have the issue. I am in the process of draining the battery to see if that helps. But I was hoping someone may have had this happen before, and can shed some light on my problem.
well, if you still got a warranty claim it then

Try using the touchscreen tune app (requires root).
This will allow you to modify screen sensitivity and test.
If you have the warranty..backup your data and claim a new one.

I don,'t think this app will work as this looks like a hardware issue after flashing another ROM, maybe you can check the all forum-searcher and check if anyone else has this issue too.

Onex+ touch screen issue(we need to report for hotfix)

Ok, so me and another guy did some tests with the onex+ touch screen and found out why so many of us have issues with scrolling, we need as many people as possible to report the issue to HTC so we can get a hotfix, i dont think HTC realize at the moment, this is what to do, type in on th phone keypad *#*#3424#*#*. choose more, then choose the screen drawing option, dont draw, just touch it with your finger and see if there is a white dot, if there isnt then touch another part of the screen and then see if the previous touch shows up, if so you have the same software issue as many of us, its quite possible that its a major hardware flaw and cant be rectified in which case HTC will have to do mass repairs or recall, we are not going to stand for this at a price of £500, if you have this issue please report on HTC website, either email or chat or phone call, it needs to be done or we will have scrolling issues time and time again on each update.
What touch screen issue are you talking about? I've not heard anything about it from anyone on here. I think mine is fine. Or maybe I haven't noticed it yet.

Me and another guy discovered it, trying to sort out our scrolling problems, as of now theres an issue. 4 people have the exact same issue so far and i bet theres more.Test your screen and you will no for sure. Its causing random clicks and rubberbanding when scrolling, its not all the time and probably wouldnt notice it unless your a heavy user(always on your phone)
you have the same software issue as many of us, its quite possible that its a major hardware flaw

Yup, I noticed it too. It's gone now, since I switched over to CM10. It makes no sense! (See what I did there? )
I think I'm that other guy OP was talking about. I have this scrolling issue where stuff on screen are being selected or clicked on accidentally instead of scrolling though them - but never had this problem before I updated to the most recent firmware, so I'm pretty sure this is a software thing.
Best we could do right now is report to HTC.

It would be nice to know if the problem shows its ugly head on the lte/4g versions, its def got to be reported, if its hardware they will have to recall or fix them, and they cant turn away people who are rooted or have custom roms if it hardware. Hi sharpshooterr, yes op is you, i couldnt remember your name untill i seen it lol. Same test on the onex with android 4.1.1 with sense 4+ shows the screen is perfect, theres not even any lag when drawing either. Things like this shouldnt be getting through quality control on high end flagship devices, really shows HTC is going down hill fast.
As of now i think your testing might be a little flawed, you are using the wrong test. This is a line draw test, not a touch test. Its liable to act the same for everyone when just touching. How does it draw for you? Draws fine for me. the thing about touching then touching again and both dots show is not any sort of test IMO because again this is a LINE DRAW test. Maybe download some of the touch and multitouch tests from the market and try those.
Dont get me wrong, if there is something wrong then it needs to be addressed. I applaud you for trying to bring it public. You should look into some other tests though. HTC will not pay any attention to this issue if its brought to them like this. Get some more info, more tests, different tests.. The more the merrier
With the information i've read here it does sound software related though.. custom roms can fix it and firmware updates can break it. Doesn't sound hardware to me.

Ok, ive tested the same drawing test screen on the onex, doesnt happen, soon as you touch the screen it registers under your finger, the screen has to register the first touch in that same spot your finger is on no matter what your doing, this is why its clicking in other places and rubber banding when your scrolling, its registering to late, and the line drawing lags like f---k. When your drawing your keeping your finger on it so its going to register eventually in the place you want it, its no good when your scrolling. Ive reproduced the same in gesture search, and again on the onex it doesnt do it in gesture search. Keep in mind there both running android 4.1.1 with 4+ sense, the only screen difference is the glass. If what your saying is true then the onex should be the same way so i know its not down to he test app along with the other tests ive done. Eitherway theres def a problem with scrolling.Your probably right about HTC not doing anything.EDIT: Ive decided to refund or sell it and carry on using the onex, it just seems faster, battery last longer.

It would be nice to know if the problem shows its ugly head on the lte/4g versions, its def got to be reported, if its hardware they will have to recall or fix them, and they cant turn away people who are rooted or have custom roms if it hardware. Hi sharpshooterr, yes op is you, i couldnt remember your name untill i seen it lol. Same test on the onex with android 4.1.1 with sense 4+ shows the screen is perfect, theres not even any lag when drawing either. Things like this shouldnt be getting through quality control on high end flagship devices, really shows HTC is going down hill fast.

No... But thinking on it I may be a bad test subject since my phone is now rooted, bl unlocked, and running an insertcoin rom. I've had the phone for about a week.

With the exception of insert coin my phone is the same. I do not have this problem. Something is wrong with the rom, your kernel or your phone if you are having touch screen issues.
I am unlocked, running elegancia, rooted. I do not have TWRP flashed as there are issues charging when the battery dies. Even when i did I never had touch screen issues.
Multi touch is useless also, only 2 fingers register, on a brandnew high end device and it only supports 2 finger multitouch, oh yes, i have a touch screen app that actually registers a soon as you touch the screen, but its only one app, all others i tested do as i described so i really do not know what to think, its def not hardware, its down to the software, we should get 4.2.1 soon and hopefully it will be gone, as the op said, i dont think HTC will do anything, especially now i found an app that makes the touch work as it should. So, basically, dont worry to much, its not the hardware. Ive boxed my onex+ back up and im using the onex untill new OS, i might even flash stock nexus 4 OS on the onex.

To get the device to register more than 2 fingers go into settings -Display, gestures & buttons - turn off under gestures - HTC gestures (uncheck) this will give you up to 10 multitouch points.

I think what he said is absurd, I didn't disable HTC gestures and enabled "show touches" under developer options and the screen picks up my 10 fingers.

wow absurd huh? I can confirm that it is NOT absurd and works the way he posted it... even if you hit show touches in development, and leave htc gestures checked, none of the multitouch testing apps pick up more than 2 touches... even though you can see more, they dont register as touches in apps and games.. So... in order to have the full 10 point multitouch, no matter how absurd you think it is, HTC gestures must be unchecked.. Google it

You misunderstand, I'm saying that it's absurd that boe323's saying the device can only support up to two touches and multi-touch is useless. Since you yourself said it will register up to 10 touches with the correct setting then it IS absurd that he claims it can only pick up two. Even the HTC gesture settings clearly says 3 finger-touches so that in itself made his statement of only two-touch support absurd.
It seems that you think I'm disagreeing with ihavoc, you should improve your reading comprehension.
