Ok so with the M7 an amazing developer @tbalden was able to make the HTC logo a capacitive button. Anyone looked at the specs to see if it's possible with the m8? That bloody big black bezel has gotta be good for something!

They had to keep the black bar to allow room to fit the digitizers for the speakers.

Yes that's right but is there anything left over to use as a capacitive button like with the m7?

No. There's nothing left to make them work.

The logo was never capacitive on the m7. Logo menu was possible because a little bit of your finger made contact with the digitizer directly above the menu at the very edge of the bottom of the screen. I'm sure the genius devs we have will be just as creative with the m8.

Well in my opinion it's going to be much easier than on M7 because on my M8 i can :
- Scroll a landscape webpage just by moving my finger on the top 25-50% of the black bar.
- Wake up the phone by swiping grossly my thumb over the htc logo...
So yeah, this time it should be easy to encode buttons on the black bar and remove soft keys.

Hi can someone here test if you see a red violet spot on screen when pressing a little harder in the bottom corner of the screen right above the search button. It only does it in that corner more visible on a white screen for me and not anywhere else. So I'm just wondering if this is normal.

I see no spot on mine... just tried it
It's just like when you touch a regular pc lcd monitor, you have to press right above the search button where the off starts.

Can you try it on the Google page or on a white backround?

Did that... still no dot and I can feel the screen giving way. Pressing pretty hard
Hello thanks for peeking at this post.
I want to use my capacative buttons in the same way I did on my Galaxy S.
At the moment as there is no dedicated menu button (only the task switcher) a lot of apps - including this XDA app show a bar with three dots and take away from the screen real estate to give me menu options.
Anyone know how I can make the middle button a long press for task manager and use the right button as a menu button (which would hopefully remove this stupid long bar which I find totally stupid and detracts from my enjoyment of this device?
any advice greatly appreciated.

Err....any rom in the development section!
Anyone got a mod that can be done on stock? I dont want to use HTC dev to unlock incase it turns into a duck due to hardware fault (nothing to do with Rom flashing) and it needs to be returned.

Does anyone know of any cases that would cover the captive buttons back, home and recent apps? I would love to use the on screen buttons provided I. Paranoid android but its annoying seeing the outline of the captive buttons even though I turn the lights off...

I've done a bit of searching around for this but I think they simply don't make cases like that :/
What about turning off capacitive backlight and then installing one of those mirror screen protectors? Would that have the desired effect??? Anyone using one??

Is it possible to turn off on screen buttons, and use imaginary buttons on capacitive buttons?

It could be just me but I'm pretty sure your question makes no sense :/
The HTC logo is not capacitive. It is possible to hide the onscreen buttons using immersion mode or a mod.... Are you bootloader unlocked? Rooted? Gpe or sense?...
My bad I thought it was capacitive like the m7

It was a mod. You could use HTC button as menu button

The digitizer extended all the way to the bottom of the device (excluding the speakers obviously) so you could technically map that section to anything you wanted.
As for the M8, not too sure if the digitizer extends all the way to the bottom. Why would they, considering this device was designed with on screen keys in mind.

Does anyone else' power button on their one m8 click more towards the left side when facing the screen? the button goes down slanted towards the left side when I press it like the switch inside isn't centered with the power button. Is this normal for the M8?
Exactly the same problem !
