Hi,
the phantom touch was always a small problem but after removing the screen protector it became horribly annoying. I can't use the xzu for more than 1 or 2 minutes without it trapping random stuff. I guess it has to do with the pen input which I thought to be an awesome feature before trying it for the first time because it never worked properly. Is there a way to disable the pen input without having to root the device?
Regards,

You can mod the sensitivity but not disable pen input AFAIK.

Hi everybody.
I've just installed WIDGET LOCKER and I find it a very cool app.
But I've a problem: I've enabled the EASY WAKE UP mode, but it doesn't work......in fact I've always to use the button on the top of the cell, while the volume buttons or the trackball don't do the same (wake up the screen): why? It's a very helpful feature and I'd like to use it. I've a Htc Wildfire Buzz.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.
I seem to have the same problem aswell (just tried it but I dont really like using volume buttons to unlock, although I can and like to use trackball to wake (Menu > Settings > Buttons & Inputs > 'Tick' Trackball Unlock). What version do you have?

The trackball works to unlock, but not to wake up the screen.
Anyway it's a problem of our phone, as told me by the developer of the app.
Ciauz.
Perhaps there is not (hardware) support for that. i had the same wish to do the same. there is a cool app called Tap Tap and it's using proximity sensor to on screen and off.

This version of Widget works well on Android 2.1 but it can't with android 2.2 or 2.2.1. It used to be very good on my wildfire 2.1 but I have the same problem with my 2.2.1 OTA. I think Widgetlocker still doesn't fully support android 2.2.1
In cyanogenmod 7 the trackball wake function works good. But there is another nice app. It wake and unlock the wildfire by the proximity sensor. Just hold your finger on the right side of the HTC logo to turn off and on the device. I am testing it now and it works very good. The app is called proximity screen off

Proximity sensor solution with widgetlocker and tasker

Ok, I know this was from an old post, but I hadn't seen any mention of this functionality and thought I'd share.
I've found great success in running with widgetlocker completely disabled, then using tasker to lock the screen when power off via power button (but only when not on a phone call to avoid interference from prox sensor screen off in call) and unlocking widgetlocker only when the prox sensor is not engaged, after a 100ms pause.
It saves cpu cycles, as WL is not polling for screen off trigger (tasker is already running after all) and is extremely snappy in unlocking on my Note 2. Its also very good about detecting my pocket, as the prox sensor on the note 2 can be set to poll when the screen is off, something not available on my older phone. I had it pretty dialed in on my previous phone, a 1st generation sgs epic 4g running cm10, despite some sluggishness due to lack of system resources, especially onboard storage space.
Obviously, everyone will have their own take on lockscreens. I'm the type of user who just wants the lockscreen out of my way. Aside from the phantom media widget which appears/disappears when the music starts/stops, I am not much for widgets on my lockscreen. When I first purchased, I really just wanted a method of avoiding having to slide to unlock, as that seems like a wasted gesture. I originally set out to solve the prox sensor unlock solution on android with the old windows mobile app pocketshield in mind as my paragon. If you are like me and just want the lockscreen gone without having to reach for it, but don't want to worry about pocket unlocks, then you'll be happy to hear that this setup with widgetlocker and tasker is an infinitely better and cleaner solution than pocketshield ever was.
Just my 2 cents.
My touchpad is way to sesitive. I keep opening links accidentally when typing. Is there any way to adjust sensitivty?
I don't know if there is an easy way to do this, but when I'm about to do some serious typing I'm in the habit of just switching the trackpad off with the function key at the top of the keyboard. (But then again, I don't mind the trackpad's sensitivity as a pointer, just its ability to screw up my screen's focus while i'm typing)
I hope Asus fixes it. Perhaps a one second deactivation while typing? Any other ideas?

Just another glaring shortcoming in the not-ready-for-primetime Honeycomb I guess.
It's kind of funny. Nearly every day I find some new, frustrating way in which Android completely swings-and-misses.
hi everyone one of the major problem is with xperia s i the capasitive keys arent very responsive sometimes have to press twice,and more.
is there actually a way to improve is it rom or kernel related can it be fixed by kernel tweaks. i know many of you say will get used to it its just pain in neck
Don't press, swipe!!!

what a nonsense! swipe well how do you get to recent apps by swiping! you meant to long press. my question was any solution as (kernel) not to workaround it. it was never designed to work swipe it was designed to work by press, and it does not!
I removed the screen protector and it did improve the touch sensitivity considerably.

I think so, I did the same with my Arc and Tablet S . Improved response and not so much a dust magnet

Swipe actually works fine for the recent apps. Just stop on the dot and wait.
Personally, I find the swipe motion easier then aiming for the silly dot. Never had issues since starting to swipe rather than press. But that's just me.
For me it works when pressing above the dots, not directly at the dots (about halfway from the dots to the display).
Also, I can press anywhere near the dots when using the whole thumb instead of only a fingertip.
so what you saying we cant increase sensivity with kernel

This is typically a hardware restriction. No software changes could possibly enhance the touch sensitivity. These dots weren't made like other Androids' capacitive buttons.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, but to me it doesn't seem possible

I'm Using My Xperia S Quite A Long, This Is My First Android Phone So Far!:cyclops:
Now Straight Coming To The Problem:silly:
In Market, There Seems To Be So Many Cool Apps Dealing With The Proximity Sensor Like:
1>Proximity Screen Off
2>Wave Control
etc
Well It Seems There Is No Problem Installing It, Or Crash (or force Close)
BUT
On These Application Gesture Function Nothing Seems To Work EXCEPT The 'COVER & HOLD' Mode
[e.g: say I Set 'Swipe Once' To Turn Off The Screen And 'Swipe Once' To Turn On The Screen...NO NOTHING WORKS!:crying:
Now Put 'Cover & Hold' To Both Turn On And Off The Screen Just As Before (in different gesture)...Works Like A Charm:laugh:]
Same Case Happens In Wave Control ('Default Pause Or Play' On 'Cover & Hold' Works, But 'Next Song' On 'Swipe Once' Doesn't Work:crying:
I've Even Uploaded A Video (SORRY FOR LOW QUALITY with Nokia X6 :silly Showing The Problem In 'Proximity Screen Off' App

If Anyone Is Having The Same Problem Please Post It Down And Of Course The Solutions Are MOST WELCOME

Proximity Screen Off didn't work too well with my Xperia S...it had a problem with immediately switching the screen right back on after it triggered a screen off. I'm using Smart Screen Off myself, which I think is the best one of these sensor on/off apps I've seen yet. It has a lot of options and seems to have a better calibration for your proximity sensor and gyroscope. Not only can you trigger your screen on and off with the proximity sensor, but you can also shake the phone to turn the screen on/off, and flip it over to turn the screen off. I'm using a hand wave to turn the screen on, combined with a screen off widget and the flip over motion for turning the screen off, and it works great.
I do wish somebody could make an app like PGM Nexus for Xperias, that is an amazing app that's sadly for the Galaxy Nexus only. You can turn on your screen by just swiping left to right on the screen, or double tapping on it with that app. Swiping right to left at the screen bottom turns the screen back off.

Using 5.0.1 pick one or two finger, make sure start service. All I did. Run finger over sensor and it comes on. Two finger swipe turns off

Yes i know this bug.
It's just because the proximity sensor is to slow.
And don't worry, it's a software bug.
To fix it, go to system/etc/hw.conf
You will see 'proximity sensor configuration"

my phone (Xperia mini pro) unlocks itself way too often when it's sitting in my pocket. I was using a MIUI ROM for some time and there was that cool feature that didn't allow to unlock the screen when the proximity sensor sensed something in its... proximity. I really miss it, but I don't feel like switching from CM to MIUI just for it.
I know there are lots of apps like Gravity Screen Off or Cover Algorithm, but they don't do exactly what I wan't to have (or I didn't explore them enough), as I don't want to lock/unlock my phone by the sensor or anything. just a simple thing:
0. the screen is locked and turned off
1. the home/power button is pressed
2. the app checks the proximity senor's state
2a. if something's covering the sensor (e.g. my pocket's inside), the touchscreen is disabled (and some message appears to say so)
2b. if nothing's covering the sensor, then unlocking the screen is allowed
did anyone found something like that in Play Store?
I think Gravity Screen Off should help you

I've tried it, and as much as I like the concept, the phone sometimes unlocks itself because of all that shaking in my pocket when I'm walking or running, and there's no possibility to turn the accelerometer off and just use the proximeter. but I guess that's the best option there is.
