Strange pen behaviour..... - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hi folks,
I have a flyer running Android 3.2.1 and have just noticed problems with the pen. It seems to be interacting with the screen even when around 15 mm above it. This makes using handwriting recognition software pretty much useless - I have 7notes and stylus beta installed.
Has anybody else had this problem?I've tried a quick Google with no joy
Fingers crossed somebody can suggest a fix.
Cheers for now,
John

Question about the Stylus and drawing apps

Hello all, I am currently debating getting the 16GB wifi Flyer. One of the great features I am interested in is the stylus, however I have read how many drawing apps (AutoCAD Sketchbook) don't process the pen input and a message comes up saying "you can't scribble here". I was wondering if this is still an issue in honeycomb or if its limited to gingerbread?
Thanks for your help!

Sketchbook works now in honeycomb with the stylus. You can't use the special pen features but aside from that it works great, you get good precision with the pen.
In honeycomb the pen works everywhere and apps built for the pen switch to pen-mode automatically. It's kind of like using a pen on a Windows-based tablet PC, it works like a mouse/touch in normal apps, and then you get features like the button to erase in special apps.

Ice Stream

Just came across this app. Not perfect, yet an amazing streaming app for movies, tv shows, etc. Worth checking out
Old app no longer works. Updates can be found here. Not perfect, allot of links don't work. Most recents do

Since finding the app I have watched 3 movies and 3 episodes of dexter from the most recent serries. I am using the free trail of v player as it appears to support the most formats. Will likely pay the $5 for full version if I do not find a better replacement. Some streams don't work, some are choppy, but all in all the amount of content is amazing.
Maybe there are better options out there that do the same, but for me this has quickly become my favorite must have app
Anyone know what happened to the app for the View in the market? I upgraded to HC, then back to GB and during that time it vanished! Can anyone provide the apk? Thanks

I think they removed it from the market for piracy reasons. It reads its info from icefilms. I love that site between that one and mrbrownee70 I don't need cable TV. Since most of the links are megavideo links you can just use megastream and click the link from the browser on the main site and it will stream the video for you.

I've been using this with several different media players over the past few days. When I launch it, it plays the 1st video with no problem. If the 1st video is interrupted or finishes and I move on to a second, it always says the video file cannot be played. I figured out that if I toggle the wifi off and back on again that it will play the next file on a consistent basis.
Does this make any kind of sense as to why this is necessary?
When it's working properly the app is awesome.
It is a bit tempermental. Part of the issues comes from problems with megaupload

Any idea if this app will work now that MU is down?

Most links are gone. There is some stuff left but it is diminished greatly. Still nice to have and I am sure over time it will repopulate, but mu being closed down was a gigantic hit. It is also a scary foreshadow of things to come.

I see there are fewer links... but none of them seem to load with the app anymore, so I assume the app was limited to accessing MU only?
not certain and I do nto have my flyer on me at the moment. take a look at mobilevids.org though.

I loved this but gave up on It when I noticed nothing was working. But today I decided to Google why and found this this. While there aren't nearly as many movies/shows/ect like there was when I first discovered the application, I'm pleasantly surprised on the improved functionality and smoothness of how everything plays. Also when loading a link up. It would sometimes take over a minute before it would begin, now its just a few seconds.
Thank you for this.

I have only been able to get video up by opening the streaming link via browser. However, it was too laggy even on a good WiFi connection to make it watchable. Not sure why. I tried it in 2 different browsers with no real luck.
The app is disappointing. Amount of compatible devices is really weak. I emailed them a few times and all they said was "There are too many Android devices and we can't test them all" which is really just a load of bull. Plenty of video apps out there that run on tablets, phones, etc. without issue.
Too bad considering the Flyer is a great size screen for streaming that type of stuff.
hate to say it but the stream works well on my iphone.... yuck. atleast I was able to get a free account
It streams great from my phone ( T-Mobile G2) but I can't place it on my desk comfortably
This sucks, my tablet has better specs than my phone UGH

HTC flyer pen with leedroid

I am using the leedroid flyer rom and I've come to use my pen and found out its not working. The flyer isn't detecting its there.
I've looked through forums and I've checked leedroids pages but can't find any fixes. If there is please tell me or help me find some answers.
Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
I am using Leedroid and use the Fujitsu digitized pen - no issues . Did it ever work ? Did you try a new battery in the pen ?
I'm pretty sure the pen works fine with Lee's build, but I'll confirm when I get home tonight.
The ROM works with the pen. Try a new battery or sometimes just taking the battery out and re installing it in the pen will make it work again.
It's probably your battery

Cheers guys I've got the pen working now. I just panicked because I checked Lee's list and it didn't say the pen was working or wasnt. I can confirm it was a battery issue.

[Mystery SOLVED] Huge multi touch/App shutdown problem !!?

Hey folks, I have serious issues with the multi touch recognition..
What you do:
You tap and hold with one finger, then you tap tap with another finger
What the phone does:
It forgets the first finger you are holding down.
IMHO that should definitely not be the case, especially not in this price range.
(and if you think why the hell does he care and how does one notice?...just play some pinball game and you will See..)
This is international stock ROM. Any suggestions?
Thanks and good night,
Daranus
Edit: even more visible in games like dead trigger. When I am running forward with the left thumb and tap the right thumb for a single shot, I stop running. That does not seem right at all.

Hello
I don't always play games in my phone, but only to testing if there is a problem in multitouch or not, i installed 2 games (pinball deluxe and dead trigger) and didn't notice any anomalies or problems in multi touch points (i can use 2 points touch at same time freely and without any interface between each others),so i think its software bug, so i suggest to do soft reset (or hard reset) and see if the problem persist.
Also you can test your screen touch points with an free app in play store (multi-touch benchmark test) and see the result.
P.S try to disable the 3 fingers htc gestures which found in setting/display & gestures/htc gesture (because with this option enabled you have only 3 points multitouch, but with this option disabled you have 10 points multitouch-yes 10 points-).
Thanks

Don't have that problem on mine.
This happens to me as well. I could not figure out why dead trigger was not working properly, now I realize it's a system wide issue.
I tried disabling HTC gestures and enabling it and I'm still having this problem.

Thanks for your answers,
I already used an application for multi touch testing, same results.
It does not matter if you turn the 3 finger thingy on or off (and we are talking 2 finger only anyway so it should not matter)
And good to know, that an ATT device can have the issues as well...I wonder what it is =/
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Alright...one step further.
Did a hard reset and the issue is gone.
Now I have to track down what actually broke the multi-touch function..will post if I do!
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Got it.
Managed to break it again and discover the reason.
If you choose to have no lockscreen, you break multi touch. That simple.
Try it out folks.

So it breaks it permanently if you ever decide to not have a lockscreen, or just while you don't have one?
Just while you dont have one (so it was only me who lost everything because of that bull**** )
However, I think it's a serious issue which was a pain in the ass to track down because who in hell could think that this is caused by that. Is there some place to tell HTC such stuff?
And if someone with a custom ROM reads this, can he confirm if custom ROMs have the same issue? Tyvm!
Just discovered even more...it even breaks games (!!!) E.g. Maple Story live. Is Unplayable with no lockscreen because it ends itself all the time for no reason without an error...and now...no issues anymore, runs like a charm.

I've been having the same multitouch issue, rendering most games unplayable. Thus far enabling the lockscreen does not solve it.
Edit: after rebooting the problem is gone...strange. I can't wait for CM 10.1 to come out so I can get rid of this ROM
Just installed multi-touch test app, disabled lockscreen and multi-touch works like it should. Recognized 10 fingers (didn't try with foots Latest 1.17 firmware.
