[Q] htc media link starts during call - HTC One X+

Hello guys
I m suffering with my one x+ media link.every time when I m on conversation don't know how htc media link activates and start playing in built media link support video .its kinda annoying.how to get rid of this stupid auto enable.
I tired many ways to reproduce the same but couldn't succeed.tried to hide sensor with palm, tried on board soft keys ...but no way
All it is happening during conversion for both voip n gsm call

I have that same problem from time to time. I believe that you can open the media link app with a 3 finger swipe from top to bottom of the screen. That being said when I use my phone I constantly have to reposition it on my ear/face because the earpiece is only on the left side of the phone above the sensors. I am pretty sure what is happening is that my face/cheek is sliding up and down the screen which is being confused for a 3 finger swipe hence the opening of the media link.
At least that's my best guess. Maybe try turning off the 3 finger swipe gestures in settings. I think it's under keyboard and language.
Never Die!

Thank you so much dear you solved my problem I disabled gestures feature

[Q] Sensitivity of your lockscreen

Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask if you have the same problems with the lockscreen when you want to take a call? A few
minutes ago I received a phonecall and of course I had to unlock the phone first. Everytime it's a real adventure
to answer the telephone. I have to slide my finger two or three times over the screen to remove the lockscreen
and take the call. But who might think that would be enough... Often the slider hangs at the end after you slid your
finger over the screen. This would be ok, if it unlocks then. But it doesn't. So you wait two seconds and then you
slide your finger over the display again. And finally you can take the call
So my question is, do you have similar issues?
I don't want to make a call in an emergency with this lockscreen
ive found that if the slider hangs, just tap the top of the slide just above/past the slider and it will unlock
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Same here.slider hangs just above the bottom part of the screen.but no problems with taking calls...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
This happens all the time to me, plus that I have problem with the screen, the touch isn't always recognised at a specific area of the screen, ..not to mention the corners.... I have problem with the half bottom of the screen right in the middle of the unlock arrow..! It makes it hard for me to scroll the internet browser sometimes!
Different had any problems so far, but I have the same problem. I hope they give us the ability to use that custom lock screen security thing without this thing.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Try to tap the home button when sliding is does difficult. Works for me fine than. Only never tried when someone is calling. Dont know why didnt try yet xD
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
The lock slider on the x10 is a pita.
Thanks for your answers
Good to see that I am not the only one who has problems with this damned
thing. @assangflexx: I don't know if that is such a good idea. I know that
when you make a call and tab the homebutton, the screen switches to your
homescreen. That's exactly what it should do. But since the phone is working
to full capacity during a call it's a pain in the a** to get back to other screen,
where you can end the call...
im having the same problems. but i also have a problem with the thouch when im writing a sms. sometimes it wont press the "A" button and when i press "ALT" sometimes that dosent work and it just inserts a space instead.

[Q] Touch input problem. Not Detecting very small movements.

Ok I noticed this little issue with the touch screen.
Maybe this is how it is meant to work but just wondering if its the same for everyone.
Basically when you first touch the screen and then move your finger in tiny movements back and forward like 2-3 pixels distance the screen just recognises your initial place you touched. It doesnt recognise the little movements. You have to make a bigger movement with your finger and then the screen starts recognising these tiny movements.
Its like its been set up with software to only track your finger if it moves a minimum distance. If this distance is not met then keep the original place where the screen was touched.
Best way to see this is get a multitouch test app from the market. Basically just one that gives you a dot under your finger when you touch the screen.
Touch the screen and move your finger in tiny movements back and forward. Like really tiny (2-3 pixels in distance)
Does the dot move or does it stay there like its stuck ?
Then you have to make a bigger movement with your finder before the dot starts moving. But after that you can do those tiny movements you did before and the dot moves.
Hope someone understands what i'm saying.
My old phone didnt do that.
Someone try this please
What about touch screen settings are their any ??

Same result for me, very small movements of the finger are not registred...
I think the touch screen driver needs work or calibration, see other posts regarding screen sensitivity, screen doesnt pickup light touches sometimes, sometimes I have to make a defined press on the screen for it to work. I have decided I dont mind this now as it is less likely to pickup accidental presses but I still think it is a little under sensitive.
The thing is if you make a big movement and then with your finger still held on the screen make little small movements it recognises them. Its only when you first touch the screen it doesnt recognise the small movements.
Its like its been set up with software to only track your finger if it moves a minimum distance. If this distance is not met then keep the original place where the screen was touched.
Maybe for typing etc so you dont accidently hit another key.
Anyone else able to confirm ? See if it detects tiny movements when you first touch the screen, and then move your finger around for a bit and then try tiny movements it should work then

Yup, definitely not a bug IMHO - just tried while playing angry birds and it nails it to the half pixel - there's nothing wrong with the hardware. I find the lack of registration of small touches a major plus, I suppose they should add a menu to disable it for those who don't like it

I know exactly what you're talking about.
Here is a test for all of you, go onto a webpage, view it at it's native resolution, which will be bigger than your screen res.
1) Drag the screen at 180 angle directly horizontally, say to the right do this slowly and move the screen a bit.
2) Now try scrolling the screen upwards or downward, slowly and carefully without taking your finger off the screen.
3) you should find that the screen is now not responding to your careful touch to scroll in a different direction you originally was scrolling.
4) given that you seem to be locked into scrolling left or right only, drag fast and long distance either upwards or downwards (or diagonally)
5) hey presto, you can now scroll in any direction again with movements as small as you like
Its weird on angry birds, it detects these really small movements.
But on Nova HD for dragging the camera it doesnt detect these really small movements.
However if you make a big movement it then will detect the really small movements as long as you don't take your finger off the screen or you have to start over again.
Another way to see this, is on the lock screen.
Touch the lock image wait a few seconds then move your finger like 2 pixels left and right (really small amount).
The lock image won't move at all. However if you then make a big movement so the lock image starts moving (and keeping your finger still on the screen) then move your finger 2 pixels left and right it moves.
Touch the image and wait a few seconds , then move your finger
Seems like its something to do with software. Not sure how angry birds manages to avoid it.
I reckon it can be patched so it doesnt act like this. I wouldnt have a clue how to do it tho. Someone might tho
Anyone tried it on the lock screen? Same thing ?

Disable Touch Screen While Video Recording?

Hello
I own a Xperia Tablet Z, let me get straight to the point...The device works perfect under water and the video recording, but every now and again the water pressure interacts with the screen and stops the video recording, this can be easily fixed if the camera app had a lock option, like a gesture or a hardware button that can be assigned to lock the screen when needed, i will be fine if there is a app for it, since I don't always need to lock the screen, when I do i can use the app. I then came across a app called Argus Touch Blocker, which works just like I want it to, the only problem is, yes it blocks the whole touch screen, but not the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen which is part of the touch screen, but for some reason is it still touchable. Can anyone point me in the correct way to get these results?

G850F Touch Screen Issue

Hello,
Is anyone else having this issue? Like touch screen doesnt respond very well at the top left corner (^<), im running on 5.0.2 lollipop. You can inspect this by slowly swiping the navigation bar at the top left corner or while playing a game (buttons wont function)...
Best regards,

its working fine here on 850f running lollipop. ive tried many times real slow n fast. But i cant say anything about screen not working during games cuz i have no games on my phone.
I am facing the same problem from 1month.
I have replaced Screen (previously Display was broken and i had replaced)
Previous one had same problem ( Top left ) , before i went to Service centre , i droped my phone and its display was broken , i have replaced display around 4months ago , and now from 1month i am facing the same problem again ,
When i Swipe notification panel from very Left side , at 40% times , it doesn't drop down , it goes upwards ,
I have faced in Six guns game , Moving button isnot working properly sometimes , than i have to lock the screen , and unllock the phone again , after that touch starts working normally , again It stops again i lock the screen and so on.........
So is this common problem with most of the Alpha's screen ?
Same issue here... bought 2 months ago with Lollipop 5.0.2 already installed. Very annoying with games!!
By the contrary, I also noticed extremely high sensitivity over the screen: I don't even need to touch the screen to press buttons, simply approach finger by half centimeter it is enough. I don't know if it's something expected, but I didn't noticed this with my former Galaxy S.

Its a very strange thing , touch fixed it self and its working fine again since 15 days , i think its software problem
it happened with me too , i'm running 4.4.4 stock , i wasn't able to tap on the wifi button on the top left , enabled the "show touches and show pointer location " on developer options and found that the top left corner is not working , strangely i restarted the device and its all working again so i think its a software problem , also i'm suspecting its related to using a screen protector , didnt try further tho

It seems it's not software related, issues are confirmed both with Kitkat and Lollipop.
It's strange because on my alpha i haven't notice any issue about the touch screen.
Please, can you do this simple test to analyse the overall screen sensitivity?
On 'Settings' go to 'General' tab.
Then roll down to 'Developer Options'.
Activate "Show touches" and "Show pointer location" - it will show the touch interactions on screen (it looks like scratches but don't worry they are just drawings).
Then slide your finger over the screen surface and notice if the track is marked in all areas. Especially in the upper left corner. If you notice a fault on the track in this spot it means the screen has a 'dead' sensitivity area.

I found there is a more simple way to run several test on our device (and also available in other Samsung models): type on the telephone keypad *#0*#
As I reported previously, my screen was touch insensitive on the upper left side. Everyone can check this running the 'Touch' test.
My screen module was replaced under warranty and it seems fine now.

General Why must unlocking my phone be so cumbersome?

The simple user experience of unlocking the device on is so bad on Pixel 6. There's just no winning option.
Smart Lock randomly kicks in, so I can't be sure that a single tap of the screen will turn on the phone.
The fingerprint sensor sucks, and requires a tap on the screen just to bring it up. And sometimes I don't even get the option to use my fingerprint.
I don't even like the single-tap gesture to begin with. It means I'm accidentally turning my screen on all the time just when carrying the phone. It almost started a call with my deadbeat father, who I haven't talked to in 20 years
I could go with no screen lock but then I'm locked out of several key features (like viewing my account passwords). Also, pressing the Power button at all on a phone this big is cumbersome, since I then have to reposition my entire hand to go from pressing it to then interacting with the screen.
I'm already rooted because I absolutely needed the Back button to be on the right side. Now I'm hoping modders can fix the unlocking experience because it's the next big issue in my mind.
The fingerprint scanner is actually very good if you set it up right, and will always be displayed with always on display... No tap required. Problem solved

This is not my experience at all. Sometimes I get a fingerprint sensor icon. Other times my phone is unlocked via Smart Lock and I get an Unlock icon in place of the fingerprint sensor. Other times I get a Lock icon indicating Smart Lock is expired. Other times I get no icon there at all.
If the fingerprint sensor is there and I'm on the dimmed screen, sometimes it'll just light up and deny, and other times it won't even acknowledge that I've put my finger on the sensor.
If the Unlock icon is there, it requires a tap to unlock (no holding!). So that means I have to actually look at the screen and discern which icon is there to know whether I need to tap or hold.
And Lift to Check Phone would be even more problematic for me, since I'm trying to avoid accidental screen interactions and this would only cause more.
On all my other Pixel phones I just touch the back fingerprint sensor and the phone is on. I don't have to think about a dozen different possible states the phone could be in every time I want to turn it on.
Have you tried to recalibrate it via the Pixel tool thing Google has?

It sounds like smartlock working as intended (which I find useless, and poor security). It will give you an unlock icon instead of the fingerprint. Maybe you simply don't want smart unlock, which is more useful for password only. This seems like more of a matter of figuring out what features you want to use.
If you changed the Animation Scale in Developer Settings then the AOD fingerprint icon can disappear.

I never used to use Smart Lock, but on this phone it means I don't have to deal with the inconsistent fingerprint sensor as often.

Try setting up the fingerprint scanner again, slightly moving your finger with ever press during set up to get every angle and view of the print. It's been pretty much perfect for me. I suppose Google could have helped instruct people to do that better in the process.

I just restarted my phone, and then repeatedly unlocked and locked it (sometimes by fingerprint, sometimes by tapping). By the end of the video, the fingerprint sensor icon disappeared completely and wouldn't come back until after another restart:

This is just one example of the inconsistencies. I haven't changed the animation settings either.
I did see it happen a couple of times in your stream. I don't recall seeing that on mine, but I haven't been looking for it. The only other thing I can suggest is make sure you have the latest updates and/or factory reset.
Edit - I tried to replicate your stream, and the sensor showed in all 30 attempts for me. For whatever it's worth, so might be something specific to your device, maybe settings or software issue

what are you going on about lol. this is the kind of nonsense that is so irritating. you had 100% success rate unlocking your phone. what's the problem. looks to me like it works. so what's the big deal. and then you have the gall to complain that the sensor icon disappeared after you repeatedly locked and unlocked your phone? yea. try starting your car repeatedly. see what happens with the engine.

i will just apologize and go on with my day. good luck with the phone.
I went ahead and updated to the November firmware, and wiped my data as well. Now my phone won't show the fingerprint sensor while unlocking under any circumstances.

I can recreate this 100% of the time by just setting my phone down for a second and picking it back up, then trying to unlock it. And you can't see it in the video, but the sensor doesn't even light up the first time I touch it. This is clearly a software bug.

Guess you don't know anything about cars. You can start and stop a fuel injected car until the battery dies, and nothing will happen to the engine or fuel system. (Yes, the battery will die if you keep starting the car and tuning it off right away) Just as proof of this, most modern cars shut off the engine when you come to a stop, and restart when you let off the brake. If you're in stop and go traffic, the engine will shut off and turn on repeatedly in a short amount of time nd distance.
Now with classic cars and motorcycles, you my flood the carb with repeated starts. Not a big deal, and not any kind of damage.
The only "damage" in repeatedly starting a car would be normal wear and tear on the starter. They do have a finite lifespan. But again, not damage, just use.
