Can someone please try this: turn on System > Developer options > Pointer location.
Then drag your finger and see if the guidelines are right under the tip of your finger of below it.
In my case they are below by an offset that corresponds to the height of the notch so I'm inclined to think this is a bug (whose main consequences are mostly appreciable with games).
I am experiencing it too! Whenever i point my finger below the notch or status bar the pointer location is pointed below in what i expect the pointer will go

Hi all,
With all the items on my today screen, a scroll bar has introduced itself...
Anyone know of a tweak/hack to reduced/shorten the height of the scroll bar? I.e. for it not to display the full length of the usable screen area. Or another option to make the main 'bar' transparent with just the 'arrows' present (much like the ones used in some HTML web pages)?
P.S. There's only so far you can go with narrowing it before it becomes non-usable!
Many thanks in advanced.
I have found a little problem.
The touch screen work good with a keyboard, but it has a little error with precision while drawing with a program like magicmarker or any others applications. On the left size of the screen the point i touch is not centered like on the right size.
Example :
- on right size the points i draw are perfectly in the middle of my finger
- on left size the points i draw are about 2-3 millimeters and the right of the middle of my finger
How can i fix it ?
hi there,
The desire has a capacative display, which works by measuring the capacitance change when you touch the screen, by way of the magnetic field of your body, this way the screen does not need calibrating because of the way it works.
Hope this helps.
im sure someone will correct me if im wrong
I tend to agree with the original post. I wondered earlier here if there is a way to align the screen (such as with WinMo). Especially when browsing I easily click the wrong links, I have carefully checked where my finger tip touches the area, but the wrong link etc is actioned. There is a way to somehow correct it for typing, but think thast all.... ??
Thought i'd post this useful hidden feature to test/check your digitizer/s-pen as well as pressure on Note 8 (should likely work for mouse too)
It can be enabled/toggled under Settings > Developer options > Input > Show Pointer location
It will draw cross hairs at your touch location as well as give you some data points.
such as described below
P =1 when touched; Otherwise P=0
dx/dy (delta x, delta y) (offset between location touched and location released, basically drag/stroke offset)
X,Y Screen Co-Ordinates of your touch location (when touched).
Xv/Yv (velocity tracker values for Hori/ Vert resp)
Prs: Pressure Level (0>P<=1 for s-pen, P=1 for finger ) (max pressure i have been able to achieve is around 0.88 that too by adjusting the internal controller inside the s-pen.)
Size: size of your touch region co-ordinate (with finger) value is Zero when using s-pen.
Hope it helps the curious!
for those who want to look into some details , nothing better than the android source code (java) :

Hi everyone this is my new app and I need some testers...
Remember when we were young we used to imagine drawing shapes in the air by moving hands.. Now this is possible; this app lets you draw a picture or write words simply by moving your hand in the air...
Hold your device face up, hold your touch anywhere on the screen, move your hand in any direction and the movement will be drawn on the screen.
Keep in mind that everytime you start drawing the app will create a virtual drawing field from 90° left to 90° right this is the range you can move your hand in (ie: you can't turn around).
Additional feature: In the app settings you could change the drawing field to +-35° that means you could draw the scene in front of you by moving the device toward the edges of things that you want to draw..
it's about fun and activity, although your drawings may not be that perfect..
Requirements:
# Android 2.3+
# Orientation sensor (compass) available on device.
** the performance of the app depends on speed an quality of the sensor which could differ according to the device model and brand, so the test should focus on performance**

Just played around with it for a minute or so, your up and down features are working well but only when tilting the device. Your left and rights aren't up to par yet for sure. If you can edit it to make it more reliant on the phones position and not orientation I think you'll have better luck! Great concept!

Thanks for your reply,
First of all the device should always be level (ie: not tilted, unless when pressing the "brush" size button (the last button on the right)).
Second, your problem is a little bit weird because whenever the device contains a compass the pointer (circle) on the screen should follow the movement of the device (left, right, up and down), but the problem that may occur on some devices is the latency (slow sensor responsiveness) especially with fast movements.
Third, the device orientation sensor is one of the main sensors that determines the device position, so I don't know what do you mean by "position".
this is a demo about using the app on my galaxy s3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St63EKIBxAg&feature=youtu.be
could you try again, and describe the problem in more details..(Latency, No/Wrong horizontal/vertical pointer movement, No pointer at all..)
After some tests a problem have appeared on some devices caused by the need to calibrate the magnetic (orientation) sensor which result in an irregular pointer movements..
to check if your magnetic senor (compass) needs calibration:
1- open phone and enter the code: *#0*#
2- press Sensor button
3- on the bottom of the screen there is a black circle with a line in it that represents the orientation.
4- if the line's color is not blue and the number under is less than 3 that means the sensor needs calibration.
5- to calibrate the sensor simply wave your device in 8 pattern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzQSsUsOWJc, continue to do it until the line becomes blue, this mean that the sensor is now calibrated..
** if the device have a cover that have a magnet in it, you should remove that cover **
open the app and check if the problem is solved..
I'm not 100% sure if this is the right sub-forum for this question, but hopefully someone can help or at least point me in the right direction.
I'm making some minor tweaks to my Note 10.1 (2014), and as part of the process I swapped out the images for the "grab tab" to make it less conspicuous on the screen. The one other thing I would like to do but am unsure of where to start or how feasible it is would be to alter the "snap-to-center" position of the tab. The app calculates the center-point of the home screen but does not account for the area used by the notification bar, which results in the tab actually being slightly below center when it has been snapped to the center position, which isn't that noticeable in the landscape mode but it's (almost) right next to the home button in portrait mode. To put it plainly, this stimulates my OCD in a very negative manner...
So, does anyone know where I might find the script/code that controls the "snap-to-center" functionality so that I could try making some minor alterations? I browsed through almost all of the XML files in the decompiled app and didn't see anything obvious, but it seems like it should be in there somewhere, right?
I've attached a photo that kind of illustrates what I mean by the position being lower than center and its relative position to the home button. (Please excuse all the smudges on the screen!)
