Yes I have. It didn't do anything positive at all.

I have mine at 300, seems to be pretty good that point. Definitely MUCH better than stock.

Re: Increase screen sensitivity??

I have found the sensitivity is improving over time. I do not know if it is the screen breaking in through usage or what, but I am not complaining.

Re: Increase screen sensitivity??

Seems like HTC tried to make a hybrid between a "stylus" responsive screen and a "finger tip" responsive screen. Anyone know the "technology" behind their effort?

1) Is it a physical issue with the screen? I understand that the Diamond screen is resistive, rather than capacitive like the iPhone, but did they do something with the actual screen to enhance the responsiveness to the fingertip? It seems like there is a thicker glass-like material on the screen, rather than a softer screen like on the Palm Centro for example (the Centro is much more responsive to the stylus in my opinion).

2) Or is it purely a ROM issue that can be altered, at least in part, as discussed in this post?

3) Or a combo of both # 1 and # 2.

The Diamond is laminated glass with plastic...the Mogul, Touch, Treos don't use any glass at all. That's probably why it feels more stiff.

FWIW, fingernails don't register on capacitive screens.

Re: Increase screen sensitivity??

I don't have a problem finger scrolling in the middle, but to scroll using the bar on the right, I have to use my fingernail. Is that the same for everyone? on my touch I could use the scroll bar using my fingertip with no problem.

I can use just my finger tip and it works fine for me.
