I wanted to do this so that I wouldn't have to press down as hard on the screen, mainly for using S2U2, but this registry key does not seem to exist. I searched the registry for 'threshold' and could not find the screen setting:

Is this possible on the mogul? Thanks.

No. not possible duue to hardware limitations. Pressing is required because of the type of touch overlay used.
This isn't a capacitive touch iphone! thank god!
When you align your screen if you use the softest touches to align it with it will make it where you dont have to touch so hard. I know it sounds crazy but I run into this issue once and realised that I was hitting the screen too hard during the calibration.

You don't like the iphone touchscreen? Why not? I wish windows mobile devices has screens like that. I do know that pressing is necessary, but how hard you must push is a setting.
Thanks for the tip about the calibration. I will try that.

It's capacitive meaning you must use your finger. I like being able to use a stylus, pen cap, finger, gloved finger, finger nail, etc, etc, etc.

I don't think this is likely. If this were true, someone could write an app to capture the touch pressure and change, say, the width of the brushstroke in a painting application (like a Wacom drawing tablet). I'm pretty sure that touch pressure for these screens is limited to ON and OFF, not variable levels.

Hey, at least your sense of humor is intact!
Thanks for making me laugh lllboredlll.
yeah the quickgps is deffinetly a placebo. I've thoroughly tested using and not using this on 4 different titan's with mixed/random results, and conclude, that it does absolutely nothing.
QuickGPS to clarify (this is now off topic of the thread) saves empheris data from the internet to a file that on the original phones would be checked and the data loaded properly to use. On the titan however the file is stored, and is never checked again. Many of the people responsible for giving titan users modded phones have stated this fact. Yet n00b's, no offense, continue to preach that it works and others follow along.

Good enough for me. I will not be using it from this point forward. Thanks.
just to keep the spunk alive in this thread,,,,
as for the screen pressure.. I was pretty sure that they are xon xoff too... and that pressure sensitivity has no premise in these phones... until..........
and I may be speaking out of my arsehole,, I had loaded up a couple big apps that sucked up a bunch of memory, and at first i thought my screen had quit responding, because when i would click it with the stylus nothing would happen,, but I pressed real hard one time and it worked,, I went back to normal pressure and it didnt work,, i tried with normal pressure 5 times and no go.. then the 6th time i pressed hard and pow it took it,,, i continued doing this just to test it out,, and it did the same thing over and over again until I decided to soft reset.. then all was back to normal...
so maybe I had so much buffering or something going on with the other tsr programs running, that it caused a glitch in the pressure threshold of the screen...
just a thought,,,

Hi all! I have a brand new LG Optimus One, but I think it has a problem. When I tap on the screen or write a message and tap on one letter, sometimes the screen respond 2-3 or more taps (want to write "word", but when i pres the "D" it goes "wordddd". Does anyone have the same problem or? Thanks a lot!
P.s. Sorry for my poor english
Same here..
I have the same problem too but i think it happens more often with gingerbread keyboard. The lg keyboard lags little more than default android keyboard. I think I'll stick with swype for now

No problems here. Works fine, am using swype tho.

Or may be i must go to the shop and return it
I removed the foil and still has the issue. I haven't tried other keyboards. Using the default LG Keyboard.

I am with the default keyboard too. Its very annoying, when the vibration is ON and when i just touch a letter...it's vibrating for 2-3 seconds.. Today i will try to go to the mobile shop and i will write after my visiting there.
Same here, I believe this is normal behavior, you have to remember that this phone has an entry level touch screen, so you can't except much from it. There are other problems with the keyboards as well related to touch. For example, in the Gingerbread keyboard you can do proper multi-chorded inputs (aka pressing shift + a character to capitalize the character) because of the touch screen quality. Same for pinch to zoom problems.
Download a touch screen test app to see what's really going on and why some things just don't work the way you expect. If you want better touch screen response you should've bought a more expensive phone. I'm happy with my Optimus One since I knew that this is a budget phone and that you can't have high expectations. That said, and knowing how much I paid for it new and unlocked (180€) I'm quite impressed with it's quality.

I am happy with my phone too! But when other people say, that they have no problems, what must i think about? I am from Bulgaria and here 180$ are not little money
So i went to the market and i played with the sample... It has the same "problem" )) So now I think, that all of this is because of my big fingers and "don't know how to touch" This is my first touchscreen phone and may be this is why i woried about. So thanks all for the answers, now i am a bit more calm! Great wishes for the NEW YEAR to all! Bye!
No problems with original android keyboard same as with SmartKeyboard Pro
Try to change to a different type of keyboard first and change back maybe after about 2-3 mins.
same problem
Hello folks!!
I have the same ptoblem with my touchscreen but only when i plug the usb cable to charge ...any solution?
it happens because of the touch screen lag bug. there is too much cpu usage when the touch screen is tapped.
that is why when you try to type fast using lg or android keyboard you will experience such problems.
this problem is not there with swype since you don't have to tap on the keys to type.
there is a touch screen bug fix and that will solve the problem.
I wish optimus one didn't have so many problems.
I'm coming from an iPhone and even though i love my new SGS2 the only negative i find is typing. I loved the iPhone keyboard and I'm trying to get a similar experience. So far I'm using Smart Keyboard pro with iPhone skin but even though it's pretty close i cant get the same feeling because the screen is not as sensitive. i have to press the space bar twice sometimes to register.
is there a way i can make the screen more sensitive?
Or if not is there another keyboard that will make my typing experience more similar to the iPhone one?
Thank you.

If you're genuinely having to hit keys twice sometimes just to get them to register then I'd actually question whether there's an issue with your handset because I've never heard of that happening before on this phone or any of the previous Android handsets I've used.

There's nothing wrong with my handset. Just coming from an iPhone you hardly even have to touch the screen for the keystroke to register. If you had used an iPhone you would know what I'm talking about. Ive reed somewhere that the SGS2 has the same capabilities and that with the right settings it can register a keystroke from 1mm away from the screen. But i don't know where to find this settings.
No one can at least tell me if its possible or not so i can stop looking?

as far as im aware there is no way of adjusting the capacative sensitivity, IMO though (coming from iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and Desire HD) the SGS2 screen is just as good if not better. slightest touches register instantly and think its an amazing screen !
if your problem really is as you suggest, i think there is a problem with the capacative screen and may need to get it repaired
Hello all,
I'm trying to decide between the Amaze and the SGII from Telus, and the most important thing to me is the size of the keys and how well both work in landscape mode. I have large hands, and I will be doing a lot of texting and e-mailing from my phone as I do use my phones as business tools as well. It doesn't matter that one might have a slightly better camera than the other, or that one is a slightly superior movie viewing experience. I have always had physical keyboards, so it will take some getting used to lifting my thumbs between each keystroke already.
The dealers around where I live have all been reluctant to let me see both side by side, but it seems to me that the Amaze, despite being a smaller screen, actually has larger keys in landscape mode. Is anyone able to confirm this? Thanks to any that can shed light on this.
Telus dealer's should have no problem letting you see them side by side. At first they didn't want to let me handle either one of them but when I told them that I'm not about to sign a 3 year contract without looking at what I'm getting they agreed and allowed me to play with both.
As to your question, it seems to me that the Telus keyboard is bigger and easier to manage, but since that wasn't the focus of what I was looking at, I'm just going from (a rather poor) memory. I'd go back to a store and TELL them you want to see both phones.
Yeah the Telus I went to they let me try out the Amaze. They got one from the back that wasn't connected to anything. They just handed it to me and left me alone to play with it. I could have just ran out with a working phone. I compared the two but I never tried landscape. I would think the Samsung has a bigger keyboard because the screen is bigger, the resolution is lower so things are stretched out more.
i just got my amaze from telus (upgrading from desire hd) and i notice a HUGE difference in the ease of the keyboard. number 1 the duel core makes it keep up as i type fast, unlike the ****ty 1ghrtz on the DHD which wud be a bit behind, and the letters blow up a bit bigger to i think cause im finding it MUCH easier to type on the amaze. oh ya the swipe keyboard is awesome to once you get the hang of it
Thanks for the info guys. For some reason they always put one away before taking the other one out. Maybe I look like I'm going to take one and run out, guess I'll have to be more insistent.
I also noticed that the Samsung's keyboard doesn't have a comma, that you have to go to the # screen to get to it. I'm guessing that I'll be able to find one on the market that has it.

Are you sure the comma isn't somewhere on the keyboard above one of the other letters? I know that at first on the Amaze keyboard I was going into the # screen to get to the question mark, then I realized that I can press and hold the "k" to get the question mark. Samsung may be similar. Have a look.

There probably is one that's a long press, I meant a dedicated key without having to resort to a long press. Guess it's just one of those things I'm going to get used to coming from a physical keyboard.
Oh, and thanks for mentioning the question mark. Now I'm going to obsess about looking for an easy way to get to that

Coming from a physical keyboard can be difficult. I came from a physical keyboard (samsung slide) to touch on the Hero. I never really got used to it on that phone. The keys were so small even in landscape. I'm finding a huge difference with the Amaze. Way easier on the bigger screen.
I'm hoping the larger keys will make the transition. Thanks for your input. I see you're from the greatest city in the world (yes I'm a Surrey boy). It was the Apex in Langley, and the Telus store by the WalMart on 64th that didn't want me to see both at the same time.
I went to Best Buy and they let me see both side by side after a little coaxing. And yeah....I'm not too proud to admit I'm from Surrey. Not all of us are riot crashers.
Went back to Apex, finally got someone to show me both. The SGII's landscape keyboard is bigger than the Amaze's, about 3x2 mm bigger. Enough of a difference for me. In portrait mode, not even close, the SGII's was about 20% larger. Might actually be useable for me and my monster hands. The Amaze's camera was definitely better, but I was surprised to see some shooting modes missing that the T-mo version has.
I'd be happy with either, I'm sure, but I have to go with the SGII for the larger keyboards. Thanks to those who lent their input, I appreciate it.
Amaze Keyboard
Just thought I'd suggest the "Gingerbread Keyboard" from Steven Lin on the market.
Honestly one of the best keyboards I've ever used, coming from the MT4G.
Haven't had a chance to try it on the Amaze but will do sometime soon.
Let me know if you like it any better or if it even works on the Amaze.

I had a look at that keyboard on my Amaze and it actually makes the keys smaller. Particularly in portrait. The bonus to that keyboard though is the addition of a row along the top with all the punctuation. That is a useful feature. Too bad it was added at the expense of key size.

Oh really? That sucks. =( I do like that keyboard a lot.
Been using it for a year already on my MT4G. I do love the punctuation though.
The word selection comes easier for me too. Auto correct I mean.
I also like that after selecting a word it automatically spaces for me to start
typing my next word. And spacing twice puts a period. Holding enter brings up smiley faces. The list goes on. I may install on my Amaze anyway and see how I like it.
Thanks for the feedback though.
Hey, guys. I'm asking this question for my friend's wife who believes she's having trouble with her screen. She claims that apps will open when she means to swipe, and that the screen is overly sensitive.
I won't rule out user error, but if any of you have heard other reports of this, and perhaps have a solution, let me know?
Thanks in advance!
Before root I can vouch that it was sensitive. After root and downloading viper it hasn't been sensitive at all.

Ok, so do I take that to mean you feel the screen is now not sensitive enough? Do you think it was the rooting that caused the change in sensitivity, or the ROM? In the case of my friend's wife, she has no interest in flashing ROMs or any such thing, she just needs the phone to work for her.
Is there some sort of patch that can be applied to fix it so that we don't have to flash another ROM?
Yes I understand. She may be doing it wrong when she is swiping from screeb to screen. She maybe pressing down first enabling the app to start up. Maybe the phone does have problems. She can speak with a tech from Verizon and do trouble shoot.

What i meant was stock dna was too sensitive. it was very sensitive when i touch the screen and it would open apps just like you said in the first post. When i rooted the phone and installed viper, it got less sensitive and it was much better.

Understanding of the technology is needed.
All smartphones now a days use what's called a "capacitive" screen. Back during the old days it was called "resistive". The difference is big. Resistive touch screens needed to be calibrated routinely. The user also needed to push into the screen for the input to happen. They were unreliable because they would go bad from people pushing to hard and they had to be plastic for it bendable nature allowing scratches.
Capacitive screens use the electricity (not heat) in your body to pickup input. Therefore glass could be used and thus making it more scratch resistant and without a constant bendable nature, became more reliable. When your finger touches the screen there is a build up of ions underneath your finger. Think about how lightning hits the earth. These charges find the most efficient route thru your finger (like lightning). Hence people with giant fat fingers can use a keyboard on a 3"screen. Because as long as the piece of skin making contact is directly over the input out chooses the center because it is the most efficient route thru it otherwise rounded finger tips. However if we gently push into the screen then more surface area becomes available causing the "center" of contact to shift causing the screen to shift along with it because the system thinks it is the user trying to swipe.
This becomes an issue for people who in the past used resistive screens because they want to push into the screen(more so when they get frustrated as they continue to not choose what they intended because they try to force the finger onto the screen even harder). It is a matter of breaking a habit. Let's face it . Everyone hates change and would much rather keep everything the same.
I highly feel that by returning and trying a different phone will not help.
