tried a Multi touch test app today and it only register 2 touch points at the same time..
other phones I've had registers up to 10 multi touch points…
I actually don't have any problems with my Find 7a, but seems weird that it only registerers 2 touch point at the same time…
any one else noticed this ?

screenshot gesture requires 3 fingers slide, which works fine for me so i don't think it only recognize 2 touch points.

It's just the multi-finger gestures option of ColorOS interfering with your test app.
Disable all multi-finger gestures in the system settings and try your multi-touch test again.

Multitouch works perfect after disabling all the multi touch system setting. Also it supports more than 10 fingers

Hi Guys,
I have been looking at the spec list of the HTC HERO and noticed like many that is uses the same chip set as the TP2.....
My 3 questions are:
1. If the HTC Hero can handle multi touch can the Touch Pro 2 do the same ?
2. Is the multi-touch software of hardware driven
3. Does the HTC Hero have a special screen to handle multi touch ??

1. No
2. Hardware
3. Yes. The Hero as a capacitive screen and the TP2 a resistive one, but i don't think it's got anything to do with it.
ONE DAY......and I hope microsoft come out with this FIRST !!!

No, it does not have it and you can not enable it in any way. Give up.
That was referring to the capactive area on HTCs last gen touch devices. Even then, it wasn't really multi touch but just 2 different sensors. It could not sense 2 touches on the same sensor.
Apparently Hero has similar chipset to Diamond, and the Hero has been reported as having a digital compass.... I wonder if the extra hw is present on TP2?!
(sorry couldnt help starting another rumour....
I don't know if this is just me, but when I'm using an app that has multitouch enabled, such as the browser or gallery, when I open my physical keyboard it can only read one point instead of two. I verified this by using the Multitouch Visualizer 2 app from the Android market. Apparently when I have my physical keyboard open the phone will read one point like normal, but when I lay a second finger on the screen it freezes the first point and that's it. The point stays frozen until I take one finger off the screen. Does anybody else have this problem?

Not sure I follow you. With the keyboard open and I am on the internet. I can expand and squeeze what I am reading and looking at is that what you mean?
Are you using slidemeroot5r1? I think it's just a bug because multitouch doesn't work when I have the keyboard slid open either. What I do is hit the menu key or the back key and multitouch works. Just kind of have to live with it or flash a different rom.

That's what I'm talking about, when I have my keyboard open, my phone can't do that. When the keyboard is open, the screen can only recognize one of my finger's touch, instead of two.

Agreed you need to take it back to tmo.
Well try the tricks that i gave you but if it really bugs you that much (no pun intended) just return it like everyone else said.

The trick you gave me worked, but I'll probably go replace this with T-Mobile if I'm part of a small group that has experienced this problem out of the hundreds that have been sold.
Hey guys wondering all these Rom makers or Google/htc made any multi touch fix?
With all the custom kernels and open source roms, has any developer attempted to fix this issue?
Would like to play games without on screen keyboard issues due to multi touch, this also affects typing fast.
Thanks
Hardware not software please do some research
Thanks. So does the s-lcd have the same issues?

the type of screen does not make a difference its the bit that lets the phone detect touch that is the issue here.
All HTC devices detect only one touch, and then detect the "size" of that touch which allows it to have pinch zoom when it detects a change in the size.
It cannot detect 2 individual touches.
please delete

Wait a minute, the Desire does have a basic multi touch digitiser... pinch to zoom in the browser etc. proves this. The EVO guys have developed a multi touch keyboard fix btw

you obviously didn't read what I just posted then.
It cannot touch 2 different touches at one, it detects one LARGE touch when two fingers are on, and then when you "pinch" it detects the size of that LARGE touch getting bugger or smaller.
Search for "Multitouch Visible Test" in the market.
That is an app for displaying the detected finger touches.

the desire dosent have multi touch, but dual touch instead, the issues people are having with games is beacause the desire gets confused When two fingers are placed close to each other or they cross the same axis because the data points get flipped, this is because of the way dual touch works, When you touch the screen with two fingers one by one, you get three points of reference: 1) Fixed Point – location of first finger, 2) Real Point – hardware detection point when two fingers are placed and 3) Fake Point – location of second finger. Interestingly, the hardware does not ‘know’ about this position – instead it is calculated by the application.
Is this translated in a hardware level or just driver?

Both rude and falsely assumed.
I loaded the page a long time before you replied and only saw your reply after I had submitted mine. I edited my post immediately after seeing yours.

ok then, sorry
And as mentioned you are wrong, as the desire do detect 2 points/fingers. Any multitouch test app from the market will show that.

no, what we have said is correct, the apps show an output but its not true multitouch.
All you have to do is try any multitouch app and do a google search to see all deivces up until now (after desire) made by HTC have dual touch, not multitouch
basically speaking it can detect certain multitouch gestures but not everything.
well i can play sonic and a load of other games and snesoid on the genisoid with run and jump buttons together, which tells me it's at least dual touch, to be honest the screen isnt really big enough to get 3 or 4 fingers on it properly and see what you are doing anyway
I will record a video of the hardware limitation of the touchscreen in HTC Desire.

or just search on youtube, loads have been done already.
I am not on about the lack of multitouch, there is a bug with two points with two near x, or y, axis points; they join together for some strange reason.
Link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noQBUDy-WCQ
This is why multitouch keyboards dont work and there are problems with the PSX4droid emulator when having both dpad and control buttons on top or both on bottom.
I read somewhere that there was code in Android for a that filtered the Droid's multitouch results, that results in the Droid not having the axis flipping issue (does still have the sticking issue when close). Is there any way this code can be implemented on the Desire?
I think a developer called Phhusion on the Acer liquid forum in Modaco solved this software wise.

i am reading the post but... it's a work around... and it is works quite well, quite...
It does not resolve the bug!
hello
i have a wird bug on my touch screen and i want to know if it is a general desire bug or a probleme with my device that i have to send back for repair ?
on magikmarker app when i press two points very quicly, my desire draw a line.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMyN822idH4
i thought maybe the app works like that.
so then i tried with swype and slideit
and there is exactly the same problem :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaPxeUqnCBc
anybody have the same problem ?
Thank you
This is a bug with all desires. They don't support true multi touch so glitches like that happen. Look for videos about desire multi touch on the YouTube.
Just tried it on mine and i don't get any lines.
not much more i can say on that really
If you get apps like visible multi touch test and use two points this will happen when you cross the axis too. The touchscreen can only support one touch. It uses an algorithm to work out where the 2nd point resides. HTC fixed this problem with new digitalisers in the stood incredible.

Ok I believe you but how come I can play games like NOVA fine using both my fingers at the same time if multitouch isn't supported? There must be some kind of multitouch or it wouldn't be possible.

He just told you how it works... You quoted his post with the answer...
Multi touch works but it's a very poor basic way of using it.
Desire doesn't got true multi-touch, it got half assed dual touch, and I couldn't play NOVA correctly because it wouldn't shoot when I wanted to if I had had my thumb on the joystick . Its because of the panel it uses and not because of software, so this is a hardware "problem"(Technically not a problem because HTC never advertised multi-touch, only pinch to zoom). Desire HD/Droid Incredible/Evo 4G uses newer and better touch panel with proper multi-touch.
Seems my multi touch works fine in most cases except when I have both touches close together.https://vimeo.com/108963985
