Hello guys. I've been following the forum for quite a while but its only now when I decided to sign up. I recently slipped my htc sensation and broke the digitizer. When I got it replaced the multitouch wasn't working and the guy who replaced the digitizer said nothing could be done to fix it. It might seem like it's not a bid deal but I really do miss my multitouch. I tried to play the new game "ingress" by google but it's pretty much impossible because it requires pinch to zoom and two finger scrolling. This is why I was asking if it was possible to assign my device a new gesture or combination of gestures so that I can zoom in and out ? I searched for apps to help me but they only seemed to work with images and not apps.

Hey Guys,
well the topic already explains my concern. I would like to know if there is a way to activate on-screen buttons on my S3 like its standard on the GNex and deactive! the touch buttons, but not the Homebutton .
I find it not convenient to use the touch buttons because they are pretty far down in my opinion, Im always scared to drop the phone if I dont use two hands, while trying to touch it and sometimes if I push stuff whats on the bottom of the screen, I accidently push the touch buttons, this is pretty anoying too.
So, is there maybe someone working on sth. like that or is it even possible to change this without flashing a custom rom?
Thanks n greets
Rob
No one an idea?
I would also like it if someone can do this.
It's definitely possible: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696092
Bear with me here, this issue is kind of hard to describe. When I am playing a game that requires touch inputs from both hands, I often get bugs. It's most obvious in games that have controller-style overlays. As is normal, I am using my left thumb to tell a character to move right or left, and then I press the button on the right to jump. However, when I release my jump, I stop running. The screen no longer recognizes that my left thumb has been pressed down the whole time and should still be moving in the direction I am pressing. This happens in Bean's Quest, Chono'n'Cash, Delver, Gunman Clive, and any other game of this nature I have tried on my device.
I played some of these games just fine on my old Evo. Is anyone experiencing this issue? I experienced it on stock as well as several custom roms I have tried.
Turn off "Htc gestures" you'll find it in settings, display & gestures!
When the display senses three finger inputs it renders it touch inputs useless...run a multi-touch test app and you'll see.

Doesn't seem to have fixed my issue, I am still having problems with some two finger games. I will be using two fingers just fine, when I remove one finger from the display the first finger is no longer recognized even though it is still touching. I have to remove the first finger and press it again every time.
Do U have any type of lock screen installed. If so uninstall. Use only stock.

Appears that widgetlocker is the culprit! Is this issue documented or known, exactly? What causes it? Thanks so much for the help. I will surely miss widgetlocker.

Moving to Q&A
I encountered this recently
It seemed to get "stuck" after using multi touch gestures in-game. Tapping the game with two fingers often "unstuck" it, but overall it was extremely frustrating.
This was on an APK not designed for the phone, though
Sorry to bring back up an old thread (is 6 days even considered old?) anyway you HAVE to disable the HTC 3 touch setting gesture because it will ignore anything more than 2 (3 will only register if you swipe up or down, but sense itself registers it, nothing else).
Just made the video below as proof (forgive my foreign accent xD):
Our screen supports (at least) 10 different points (was going to try 11 but I could not get my nose on the screen with my fingers and my girlfriend is asleep).
EDIT: Two things, one: I had widgetlocker installed while I did the above video, it caused no problems. Two: the maximum number of inputs our phones can handle is 10, incase anyone was curious.
EDIT 2: While I don't have the issue with widgetlocker it seems that it is a known problem, but you don't have to disable the lock screen altogether. Go into widgetlocker settings> advanced> retain system key guard. Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652038

Did you try my edit 2? The Retain System keyguard? I can assure you that I have Widgetlocker installed and I have the 10 inputs (that video was recorded with widgetlocker running).
[SOLVED!] - HTC Evo 4G LTE touch screen trouble - WidgetLocker is the problem
Retaining system keyguard in WidgetLocker worked for me! Thank you for this Racer for All. (Actually I found your YouTube video, and a link to this thread)
I was wondering why all the games I played all of a sudden stopped functioning properly (in terms of touch controls... Example: MineCraft PE, moving forward and trying to look left or right - suddenly character would stop moving.)
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I want people to know if they have WidgetLocker (and don't want to uninstall it) just go to Settings - Advanced - Retain system keyguard - zmag
Hi,
I have been looking this for long time. So it is possible to access the camera without typing pin to unlock phone?
Because WP7.5 and iOS can handle this but why not Android?
My HTC One X has this. Can use volume keys (i think it's volume keys anyway) to get camera and choice on my xoom to have various apps icons on lock screen. I had the camera taking photos via lock screen on my phone last night until I changed it. I think it was volume keys, I was pretty worn out from insomnia and fumbling the phone when picking it up to use it to pass time while not being able to sleep from pain induced insomnia.

Hmm... I am not sure are we talking same issue... I mean if I want to take picture with camera. I have put that Camera-icon on Lock Screen but if i chose that I need first but pin-code and after that i can take pictures.
u can use smart moves look in settings in motion menu

That is not the answer because if I make that nice smart move to activate Camera. It still ask first my pin-code and after that opens Camera.
So Android can't handle Camera in sandbox mode?
Has anyone found a solution?
i would like to know the answer to this also was a handy feature on the Iphone for sure
Don't think there's a way to do this. The point of the pin is so no one can access any function of the phone without the pin. AFAIK there isn't a mod that bypasses this
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Instead of making a new thread i would like to ask is there any update to this?
I know the htc phones are able to do this by dragging the camera to unlock it.
But if someone can develop this for the S3.
I know some people have played around with Sense 4.0 with s3 its still glitchy.
The main reason i want this is so i can take pictures and video immediately instead of having to put my 8 character password in and if there something interesting to record such as a dispute or police brutality or anything really we can pull out and record for future use.
Thanks for reading hopefully someone out there atleast attempts this to see if there is a solution.

Yes, there is a solution even on a password locked phone... try camera unlock : https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Aeropic

You can bypass the pin and open the camera with Xposed framework and a module.
Hello.
Love everything about this phone after switching from HTC One X, except for the camera app.
Do you think we could ever get the same functionality as on HTC One X when there are two buttons on screen at all times for video and photos?
Right now we have to switch between the modes, and only if you don't change any settings you have ability snap photos while recording videos. This is so cripple and not user friendly.
Any chances we ever get anything close to HTC One X's camera app? Or is it hardware limitation that would not allow such functionality?
P.S.
What's very annoying to me about SGS3 camera is that every toggle setting require two taps because of useless dropdown menus instead of checkboxes or such...

Coming from an og htc incredible and I also had an incredible 4g for about a week before I exchanged for the S3.
I actually much prefer the one button against the two. I find that when you ask others to take a photo of yourself and some friends, there's a lot less confusion when someone else is using your phone. I really find that to be the hugest plus.
Well, apparently your main concern is what others think about YOUR phone, not how it's useful/efficient for you (no offense)
From my experience, 99% people asking what to press when I ask them to take a picture, regardless if there are one button or two...
Right now the camera remembers which mode was last used, which might not only confuse, but also can take a few extra seconds before you be able snap a pic.
I would say the first step is to post in the HTC phone's section, and ask someone to post up the camera apk file, and then see if it can be renamed, then placed in /data/app and launched.
If it launches and works, request solved, if it doesn't, you know that additional files will need ported, and it will probably not be as easy a thing to do.
The one thing that annoys me about the stock camers app is this:
When you open the camera app, you can change the 4 shortcuts on the left side of the screen to other options which is awesome. The problem is that the shortcuts always reset to the default everytime you shut down & reopen the app.
I've tried that, it would FC after a second or two.
It probably would be easier build from scratch rather then try port anything HTC...
I searched in forum and google, but i couldnt find an exact solution.
it is really so annoying while playing game. buttons are so close to edge and my hand touches them and ruins the whole excitement.
ive seen dredsensor app but its for HTC Diamond.
so is there any way or app to disable it just while gaming?
Me too waiting for such an mod / app.
Please, some one if possible can help all the S3 gamers ?
Thanks in advance.
