Hello.
I have a Qtek 9000 and i would like to ask a question.
Generally the screen needs a quite soft press in a button to work.
But in my device, i need to press a bit hard whenever i want to select something in the middle of the screen.
I mean that it needs more pressure in the middle of the screen than in the rest of the screen for it to work.
Is there a problem with my device or is it normal?
Thank you!
I don't seem to have that problem :-/ a light tap will normally be detected anywhere on my screen.

Ok, thank you!
Anyone else's experience?
Do you have a screen protector? Maybe it is thick in the middle. Try taking the screen protector off. It may work.

Yes, with the protector the problem was big.
Now that i have removed it the problem is almost gone( now will be difficult not to scratch the screen without it, but i prefer to have the phone working right).
Thank you!
Try the "Fellows" screen protectors. It is thin and comes in packs of 20, I think. It is like a transparent sticker. Better than not having one.
On my Exec, I use Proporta's Screen Protector. I think it is scratch resistant. I have it on since I opened my Exec fresh from the box and it still looks brand new without any scratch on it.
Thank you, but i am afraid i will have the same problems.
I usually use Brando Screen protectors which is top quality (100% transparency) but in this case it seems that i can't do anything.
Screen Protectors
I personally don't see the use of screen protectors. I have had ~6 PPCs, have never used a single screen protector, and have never had a scratched or damaged screen.
Am I just that much more careful than everyone else? I think not! :lol:
My personal experience(after using over 15 PPC/Palm devices all these years) is that if you tend to use handwriting recognition or any other functions that require to "write" on the screen frequently, then it is virtually impossible not to scratch the screen.
Hi All,
I have updated to the latest AKU3 ROMs and also a few months ago I replaced the housing...However, I've noticed that the screen does not automatically rotate when the screen is swivelled??
Now is this because I did something during re-assembly of the housing OR is there something in the ROM's that disables the hardware somehow??
Cheers

Unlikely to be the rom, since it's part of the system HTC provided.
If it's been disassembled it's more likely that.

hey VJ, sorry to bother but do you know what jumper/cable/connector/switch to jump/disconnect/tape inside the Universal to keep it from switching?
I'm sure I saw someone mention that the screen rotation is done by a magnet and switch? It's possible that maybe a small magnet fell out during disassembly? But I have looked throught the Universal repair manual and I can't find any reference to such a magnet??
I'd be nice to know exactly where it is so one would be able to take it out, if it were easy. I don't know if I wanna disasemble mine yet...
EDIT found it!! If you use a very, very light metal chain, as I did, with a keyring @ end, you can hover it around the Universal and see the tension of the chain when it's near the magnet. the keyring sticks too!
it's on the lid, behind the video-call video camera. I'm going to check the lid part of the manual.
Well taking the screen section apart is easy! You don't have to disassemble the whole unit. Looks like my magnet fell out then! Trouble is I want to sell mine so I'll just have to declare the auto screen rotate doesn't work (I've made sure that there is the rotate screen icon on the task bar though!!)

it works!! I tested it with the very small and highly magnetic point in the bezel of my tablet PC (to hold the pen) and it did change orientation.
thing is that it seems to be stuck beside the sound-holes (when the unit is closed).
I wonder how could I disassemble the lid only? are none of those screws @ the bottom connected to the back part of the lid? if so, that would be awesome!
Hi, on the xda's ftp, you'll find the maintenance manual for Universal...may help you to disassemble yours
thanx for the link!
however, it seems rather risky to try to pry the bezel open while still on the unit. Anyways I'm doing it right know. I'll get back to you.
I did pry it out and took the magnet off... painless(*) procedure and flea-sized magnet! don't loose!
I took a couple of pictures detailing the magnet position and the lid disassembled while still on the unit.
if you want to do this procedure do not loose the tiny screws and...
(*) be careful with the outer speaker (the one that lets you hear a call while the screen is facing the keyboard when closed), it isn't hard wired, it's just two small and fine contacts that might get distorted when putting the lid cover back... I had to take mine out again to correct this problem.
also, be careful with the screw driver and digitizer, as you'll be working in very akward positions to avoid disassembling the whole unit, and take off the battery of course.
Thanks for the photos - looks like my magnet feel out so I bought some 1/8 inch square magnets from ebay. It took a couple to find the sweet spot where the screen rotated but at least it works fibe now!

no problem. I'm also going to put the magnet back, now the unit doesn't now when it's closed, and therefore the outer speaker does not work. the screen also does not turn off when closed, only when the system timer tells it too... oh well.
you can turn the screen off by pressing the power button briefly.
no ext speaker though! maybe there's a way in software to disable just the rotation; i think the guys trying to get linux comfortable on the universal have some experience with it, maybe they can help.
Hey, i've bought a couple different screen protectors including writeshield, but they dont really do what i want them too. when i got my tilt it had a screen protector on it, which still allowed me to use the touch screen protectors , with all of the screens i have purchased, they are to thick to use the screen.
Does anyone know a place you can buy a screen protector where the touch screen is still usable??
thank you
Any screen protector made for the the Kaiser should let the touchscreen work. I have a very thick one on my old Treo that still didn't cause a problem. Is it possible that you've accidentally got your screen protector in-between the screen and the casing? Something like that might cause a problem.

I don't have any casing on my phone! im not sure why the touch screen doesnt work then =[, it works fine when i take it off, but with this screen protector on, it doesn't have any response!
By casing I mean the bit of the phone that you hold. Every phone has that
wow
idk what happened but its working now...
thanks for your help =]
Is there a tool that can test/adjust the sensitivity of the Epic's capacitive buttons? Mine seem unresponsive and I'd love to know if the hardware is not sensitive or the software is ignoring the taps.
Something that displays a readout showing which button is being pushed would be really useful.
Thanks,
Jason
there really isnt. its being classified as a hardware issue. i swapped the board out on mine the other day with a returned phone and it started working. taking the phone apart to fix the button at the bottom is a complete pain in the face. and if the gorilla glass faceplate comes out (which needs to happen to swap out the buttons) then it never really goes in correctly. nor does it stay stuck.take it back to sprint and see if you can do a 30 day exchange on it.
Thanks. I got mine at Best Buy and have their insurance. They'll fix/replace it for free but they have to send it to their service center and give me a loaner. I almost replaced it within the 30 days but when I took off the screen protector (Skinomi) to give it back, the keys were working great. I decided to hold on to the phone. Now I have another protector on it (Realook) and am having the same problem. I'm assuming the button is less sensitive than it should be so it works fine without the protector but not well with it. I might have to switch to a partial-screen protector.
So if my buttons are very difficult to press then its an issue and not the general design of the phone itself?
My wife said she has no problems with the buttons so I'm going to have to compare hers to mine.

Same exact situation. I was using the Realook screen protector and everything worked fine except for the back button. After I took it off I noticed that the back button worked just fine. After using it a little longer I still feel like it's not as responsive as the other three buttons.

There's a couple of ways you could do this:
Every time you press a capacitive button, it should blink right after it registers. This indicates it was pressed.
Another way is to boot into Clockwork Recovery Mode, goto Advanced, and use the key/button test option that's in there.
I'm also using a Realook screen protector, so far it's the best I've tried. I've used Zagg, Invisishield, StealthGuard, and Amzer protectors and non of them had the clarity or feel of the Realook. It feels and looks like nothing is there, aside from being an oil magnet. Anyhow, I don't have any reduced sensitivity when using it compared to bare.
One trick I use to apply the Realook is cover the whole phone with 4 or 5 strips of scotch tape (overlapping each other) before application, it helps to get rid of all the super fine dust particles that are floating around. Also, use a high power flashlight, and shine its beam across the surface of the screen, it will make all the dust you couldn't see before light up. Have a few looped pieces of scotch tape ready to pluck off dust particles that get stuck on the protector and screen. Then get the Realook protector ready, pull your strips of scotch tape as one from the top and quickly align the protector, pull more tape off and follow with the protector, this insures no dust thats floating around will get on your screen or protector, if some does, you have the flashlight to easily show you and the tape at the ready to pluck them off.
Reason I said the above is because you might have minute dust particles that are creating a gap with just enough space to prevent your capacitive buttons from registering.
I took drastic measures and cut a rectangle hole out of the Realook protector so I could have direct access to the buttons. It is ugly, but it works. The back button works much better now.

Hi guys! I broke the screen of my lovely G2. It has a little scratch at bottom like 8mm above the back button, from the left to the right. THe back button works , and the Home button sometimes, the phone booting up like dream, showing lock and home screens, so i think Mobo is fine.
So the Question is: if i purchase this and replace the screen following this tutorial, will it work? Please share your thoughts with me Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Mate
I recommend to buy the whole LCD + frame of the LG 2, with that you only have to remove the old screen and put the new one without replacing anything else. Many sellers offer the G2 LCD panel without the frame a bit cheaper than the complete set and you must take out the glued frame and then put in the new LCD panel... better buy the whole set.
