Top of the screen dead space? - Page 2

If you push hard around the edges it works, it seems that the black plastic border makes it hard to push there since it creates an airspace between the top layer and what I imagine is the touch sensitive part underneath. It takes a lot of pressure on the edges though, but it is possible to get it to register there. Maybe with some breaking in the plastic will give a little more?

Same here. I thought I had a defective unit at first.

its like the protective coating is not allowing the stylus to touch the screen. if you notice the titan has the screen with raised edges. its the screen covering causing the issues but maybe htc will think of a fix

I haven't experienced this problem. But a little off topic possibly, I have a hard time selecting multiple emails (finger slide) to highlight... sometimes takes a few times...

I think it has to do with surface tension. Imagina a piece of plexiglass or clear plastic. if you bend it it will bend easier in the middle. The areas towards the edges will be extremely difficult to bend because they're anchored to the device. This is what may be going on here on our devices, diamonds and TP's. I think htc should have made the plastic cover more flexible near the edges for tension to be register through that layer to the actual item that does the registering.

you people were mentioning about grabbing the scroll bar... I thought the TouchFlo program also allows you to push the pages from the center? I went to a sprint store that had a diamond, and I was able to push the default windows pages like File Explorer, Programs, Settings, PIE, thus illiminating the need of scroll bars (in a way). It's not as fluid as some eyeFones out there, but it seemed to work ok for the need of easy scrolling...
