sprint touch screen is not really that sensible and more for a person that have played with the iphone. This was really annoying to me and i read some posts about how to increase the sensibility of the touch screen. i went over board with it and applied it up to 17,000. at this time was pretty smooth but not smooth has i would like it to be, so i increased it to 30,000 and that was the sweet spot. i could now touch every part of the screen without any effort and it respond to my sensible touch, no pressure at all. the scrolling for touch flow (like in the contact scrolling) is much much smoother, one small slide and everything is at full speed. i don't know about you but i'm loving this sensibility with the touch now.

i used resco registry to change the reg

HKLM/SOFTWARE/OEM/TFLOSETTINGS change the volume of the "finger pressure" to 30000

if you don't like it u can always go back to default speed. NOTE: i have read somewhere that going to 9,000 makes it smoother and that's was when i starter playing with this but it wasn't smooth touch at all, what did it for me was the 30,000 pressure sensibility. i have also tried 60,000 and did not make any different at all so i think that with 30,000 u have reach the max sensibility of the screen (do not know the exact number when did happen but i know it was bettween the 17,000 and 30,000)

I am using your idea and like it ! are there any concerns by making such a drastic change ?

Guessing you mean sensitive?

The iphone/touch use completely different technology to sense human touch (just try and use a stylus on one - lol) so no amount of registry editing will get you the same feel, and of course you can forget multi-touch...

And yeah, if you own an iPhone or iPod Touch (I have a ipod touch) you'll pretty much never be happy with the current HTC touch screen technology as a finger-touch.

That is true for sure... I just got an iPod Touch last weekend and I can't believe how well the touch screen works. Its flawless. After using the ipod for a while and then picking up my Sprint Touch makes me sick... I broke out my Mogul yesterday to clear it out since I sold it and noticed the Mogul was a lot more sensitive to touch than my Touch was. The touch and hold was also easier and faster than my Touch.

The iPod Touch has almost made me want to ditch Sprint for AT&T if it wasn't for the sero plans I have.

Yep, only 4.5 years to go until that stupid marketing error is over

Heck, by then they should even have most of the kinks out of it...

I like the ipod touch + the htc mogul combo... back to carrying two devices, but hey, it's just the heavy burden I must carry.

Thank you. Bookmarked for when mine arrives!

question: I have played with the Sprint Touch at work for hours and the only real problem I have had was with the edges of the screen responding to touch (on several devices). Does the X button in the upper right, scrolling, and such respond better now?

a huge article on this can be found at xda too- seems some people are getting better results by lowering number too

I say just go back to the screen setup and set up your screen with as light of touches as you can

i have also tried lowering and it doesn't do anything. and doing the screen setup will just make go back to default, believe i have tried all this and read the xda huges articles cause this was a big issue for me. by going to 30000 u will tell the differente on the spot, i'll say is around 3x-5x more sensible than default
